I love to do crafts and so I figured that I would try something easy to start out with and it just was so much fun after I bought this book because not only did I have fun making the crafts as gifts it saved me LOTS of money I would have had to spend on different gifts. It also saved me the time and hassle of crowded malls. This book has easy crafts to sew on Plastic canvas that take anywhere from 3 hours to 3 days depending on how long you work on the project each day. from gifts for the elderly to gifts for kids. A great money saver for all!!

I picked up this book expecting it to be somewhat dry and dull. I was wrong. As the parent of a child with violent tendencies, I found things to help me. As a Social Work student planning on specializing in kids like mine, I found it a book I'll be glad to have for a long time. I have reccommended it to teachers and administrators, counsellors and other professionals as well. I'm seriously considering taking some more classes in education so that I could learn how to do this in school programs. I'm currently searching to find more information on this program and possibly attend their training.

This book is a keeper :)

Hi!
Bought this one when my little one was 3 because he had a significant speech delay. I listened to it once, and figured it would never see the light of day again. Imagine my astonishment when it has even beat out "Toy Story" on the most played list. He loves the songs and I find him using the words from this tape often. The book looks kind of silly on first glance too, but if I hadn't lost it, we'd probably have that memorized as well :)
As it is, I looked this up on amazon.com to buy our replacement tape, the first one has been played so much it is wearing out...

As a practicing Certified Financial Planner, I find that what most people are desperately seeking is sound and objective financial advice. This book accomplishes that goal by solidly grounding the financial planning process in the timeless principles found in scripture.

Without no doubt, the literary criticism meets a refreshing insight with the contribution of Spencer in the field of the lukan study, especially its second book. It is a fact that the book of Acts constitutes in itself a fascinating narrative about the primitive chuch, its "heroes" and their performances, paralleling with that of the heroes of the greek mythology; a sensible and balanced touch of literary point of view, however, is brought by the author with the goal of inviting whoever ready to embark for the long itinerary in the Greco-Roman world. The result is that this reading provides a refreshing and colorful interpretation for all those who are fed up with traditional "boring" analyses about a subject which deserves more than it has deserved in the past. Playing constantly with intertextuality and various literary devices, Spencer tries to demonstrate first, the capital work of the Holy Spirit in the missions of the first church and secondly, to resolve the critical problem of the jewish opposition met by the christian chuch. Of great values are the sections devoted to the study of Stephen's discourse and Philip's meeting with the ethiopian eunuch. I highly recommend this book for all who are interested in discovering a new dimension and also a new apprehension of the Acts of the Apostles.

The author conveys his knowledge and experience superbly. In content, clarity and applicability, this book is a real winner. In this subspecialty (acupuncture for children) there a few quality publications, this is one of the best. The information is of practical value for both lay people and professionals. Parents, nurses, physicians and acupuncturists will greatly benefit from this one.

this is one of my personal favorites=. The story is neat and everything is just perfect. The writer makes Guy and Will so irresistible and sexy that no wonder Adalaide couldn't resist them. This is an exellent book.

The advanced airbrush book has many excellent examples as well as in depth step by step shots of how the artwork was done, using the more realistic styles of airbrush work with professional artists such as Hajime sorayama, an excellent book.

There was a point at which some critics contended that "Prometheus Bound" was not actually written by Aeschylus, arguing that someone else, perhaps his son Euphorion, who was also a dramatist, The argument hinged on the portrait of Zeus in the play, which is highly critical of the king of the Gods and at odds with the wise and just Zeus of the "Orestia." Since we have only a half-dozen complete plays of the ninety Aeschylus is believed to have written, it is difficult to make a judgment regarding his entire body of work. However, we do have fragments from the other plays in the trilogy, "Prometheus Unbound" and "Prometheus the Fire-Carrier," which suggest that what happens in this first play sets the stage for an evolving Zeus, who eventually finds his better nature when he achieves a reconciliation with the rebel Titan. Given the dramatic scope of the "Orestia," with its evolving notion of justice, it seems to me reasonable enough that Aeschylus was attempting something similar with this trilogy.

"Prometheus Bound" finds the titan, who defied Zeus and gave humanity the saving gift of fire (among other sins), bound on a remote mountain peak with iron spikes driven through his flesh by the unwilling Hephaestus and his assistants Might and Violence, allegorical figures who define the source of Zeus's power. The scenes of the play consist of a series of dialogues between Prometheus and the ancient god Oceanus (the chorus consists of the daughters of Oceanus), Io, a woman turned into a cow because of Zeus's attentions, and Hermes, who wants to know the secret held by Prometheus that threatens the power of Zeus. Prometheus (whose name means "foresight") refuses and is then cast into the underworld to be punished further. At the heart of the play is the conflict between the immovable will of Prometheus and the irresistible force of the power of Zeus.

Clearly this tragedy speaks to an archetypal human condition, wherein physical power seeks to break the mind of an individual to its will. The audience is caught in a dilemma, for on one side is the king of the gods and on the other is the savior of humanity, for without the gift of fire early man was doomed. Indeed, that was clearly the intent of Zeus. Consequently, like Prometheus, the audience is caught between their own rock and a hard place. Fortunately, by the end of the trilogy Aeschylus gives his audience an out, for the Zeus who is represented in this play is transformed into a more acceptable deity in the end. Even without those plays and knowing the innovative brilliance of Aeschylus as a tragic dramatist, we can certainly appreciate the overall story arc that begins with this play. For teachers who do not want to contend with the entire "Orestia" or have to contend with editing it down for students, "Prometheus Bound" represents a single work by Aeschylus that is equally as pivotal to our understanding of classical mythology.
