Probably the most genuinely terrifying book I've ever read. Loved it

This book is a wonderful account of the history and native culture. The illustrations are wonderful. It was first published in 1869.

I have borrowed this book from a friend, and although only just begun to read it, the book is extremely relevant, well organized, and even though copyrighted in 1971, still very timely. This is an excellent source for counter-argument of recent DNA tests concerning Thomas Jefferson's potential paternity issues. All information is extrapolated directly from Jefferson's own letters and writings, which lend a strong sense of credibility to issues which are otherwise mere speculation.

As a therapist who sees patients with sexual problems I found this book extremely helpful. The various chapters gave me the tools I needed to understand sexual difficulties from a psychological and physical perspective. I've even referred my patients to selected chapters of the book, and they have reported that they were able to understand the concepts without having a professional education. I would recommend this book to seasoned and novice therapists to add to their library. It addresses areas that therapists tend to avoid.

This could have been titled "The Cabells and Our Country". While history may be presented in a dull and uninteresting manner, this volume reads as if it were historical fiction of the John Jakes genre. If the author is offended by this comparison, he shouldn't be. From Vol. I, Dr. William Cabell, the Immigrant, who didn't charge patients if he didn't cure them, through the contemporaries of Washington and Jefferson who helped to launch the Revolutionary War and then fought in it, Cabells are there. Vol. I continues through the Civil War with the 6 Cabell brothers of Danville and their sacrifices, to the turn of the century. The 20th Century Volume covers the Spanish- American War, where a former Confederate cavalry general volunteers for active service, followed by WWI, WWII, the Berlin Airlift where a Cabell wife accompanies her husband on the flights and pushes cargo from the plane, the Korean War and Viet Nam. When the bugle sounded, the Cabells responded. If you want to know anything about the 20th Century Cabells, this is the book. If you just want to feel some of the many facets of 20th Century History and how it was flavored by real people such as the Cabells, you could do a lot worse than this book. Randolph Wall Cabell has done a historical tour de force for the Cabell family and for those interested in the human side of our country's history.

Having made up my mind in advance to approach Braham's book with outright scepticism I put it down after reading with a newfound perspective on this troubling issue. The arguments contained within are surprisingly convincing and well-constructed. The book effectively demonstrated to me that many generally-held beliefs about Vatican policy during WWII are based on little more than second-hand and often erroneous information. Difficult to put down, this book is good reading for anyone with an interest in history and politics (whatever your spiritual persuasion).

This is a book beautifully illustrated by the author covering all the seasons of the year with space for your guests to make comments or simply to sign their names. Excellent for a house warming gift or wedding gift or just a thank you for your hospitality.

Hearst was the king of 'yellow journalism', using his newspapers as a public forum for swaying political opinions. This biography for teens considers his influence and newspaper involvements and provides a little over a hundred pages of biographical and social background.

When you pick up this book, prepare yourself for a real adventure--one that is inspirational, to say the least. Step by step, THE WINTERS PLAN paints a picture of a very different world than the one we now live in. Randolph Winters proposes extraordinary (but sane and logical) alternatives for the kinds of governments that rule our world today. As I read this book that is an incredible mind-expander, I came to believe that Winters' plan is not just utopian idealism but is actually quite practical. Creatively and sometimes humorously, the author presents well-thought-out NEW ideas that seem to have sprung from a very wise Think Tank. This book encourages thinking out of the box and asks us to consider real alternatives beyond capitalism or communism. It proclaims the value of the individual, while at the same time acknowledging that we are social beings who affect each other and our planet--and that we need to take responsibility for where we find ourselves at the present time.

To me, this book occupies a similar sphere as David Korten's WHEN CORPORATIONS RULE THE WORLD. The difference is that Winters includes spiritual principles and links them to a futuristic economic social system which he presents as an absolute possibility if we can only expand our minds and rise above the old patterns of thought that have conditioned us over the years. Whether or not you agree with all of its premises, THE WINTERS PLAN stirs the imagination of the reader and challenges him or her to tear down the box, to think creatively and to visualize how the world could be if we turn from greed and lust for power to principles of love and true spirituality. The author offers an ideal of a "society based on governing itself through Wisdom and Education"--a society that recognizes the value of human potential and love for others.

Taking a stand in his imagination as having been elected President of the U.S., Winters then proposes his Ten-Year Plan for the Rebuilding of America, including doing away with the Federal Reserve System and personal income tax. His proposals are ingenious and, in my opinion, would be welcomed by a majority of the citizens. (I think most of us are pretty tired of politicians and the way things work now.) Winters goes on to give detailed imaginative proposals for changes in Congress; in how our representatives are elected; in the business and investment community; and in education, health care, and the environment. The changes he suggests are a radical departure from what we now call our "democratic" way of government--Winters' ideas illustrate just how far we have fallen from the original concepts of our founding fathers. As you read, you realize (if you didn't already) how controlled we are by our government and how little freedom we actually enjoy.

The Constitution of the Earth at the end of the book is a blueprint for empowerment of the people. Stating that it is just a rough framework to which others can contribute, he requests readers to write him with their own suggestions for a Constitution of Earth's people.

I came away from reading THE WINTERS PLAN with a new feeling of idealism and hope. I felt uplifted, encouraged, and optimistic that we can make changes to benefit all of our planet's citizens (including animals and all kinds of wildlife). Winters shows that we can do things differently...and that there still is hope for humanity.

This is a very well laid out book in a workshop form that summarises all the important aspects one needs in developing your spirituality and regaining your lost power.

Highly recommended!
