I studied this book while working on my Master's Degree in clinical psychology. It is written clearly, providing the definitions, epidemiology, clinical picture, history, diagnosis, and clinical management of a wide variety of neuroses and psychoses. Easily understood, the book has been a valuable lifetime addition to my family library.

Dr. Francis has a writing style and a subtle wit that I believe is second to none. He illustrates well poitical phenomenoms that very few writers see or dare to touch. Even though RFTM is a collection of his essays in another publication from 1989-96, the sundry subject matters fit together very well in near-booklike fashion. Dr. Francis does contradict himself from time to time (to his credit, far less than most conservatives, neo, ultra, or paleo), and he seems to posess a fundamental Washingtonesque snobbiness on infrequent occasion, and those are the only reasons I would give that I did not give it a perfect ten. Otherwise, get it, committ it to memory, and avoid lending it out as you may never get it back.

Having tried about every diet that has been out in the past few years, I joined Weight Watchers, and purchased four of Sandra Woodruff's books. This was one of my last books of hers that I purchased, and I'm so sorry that I didn't have these books years ago. She teaches one to cook with very little fat,to lose weight sensibly, and to finally have an eating plan that doesn't make a person feel like they are being deprived. I feel great, and after two months I am ten pounds slimmer. The books all go along with the Weight Watchers plan, and so it is easy to count points. This book has so many good hints about how to improve one's health and to lose weight.The best part is that this plan works. Thank you Sandra Woodruff!

I have used several of the programs outlined in this book in my business with hugh sucess! This book is not only clearly written with a full set of examples, it includes the inside psychological reasons why they work. I rank it right up there beside "Think and Grow Rich"by Napoleon Hill,"How to Win Friends and Influence People"by Dale Carnegie and"How to Master the Art of Selling"by Tom Hopkins. If you really want to know how to bring sales to your business you must seek knowledge from people who have made it happen for them. These are the books you need from the people who have made it happen! If you have only time and money enough for one book! This is it!

I love this book!!!!!!!!!! It is about a girl named Nelly.She makes a potion.Then when she is washing her grandmas hair she mixes it in to the shampoo!!!!!Then her grandma keeps geting younger.Read this book to find out what happens next.

Una Woodruff's art is a masterful combination of the aesthetics of Wicca and Satanism, creating an image of a cult of the Dark Moon Goddess, something antithetical to Christianity and while not actually evil, at least evil by the standards of upstanding Church-going folk. To this, Colin Wilson shines his masterful knowledge of the history of magic and occultism, explaining the theories behind magic, the history of European sorcery, and the meanings of Una's images.

This is based on a play about two elderly people with memories half gone. who are reminising about former spouses and events. It's charming. They mix their details and other spouses and do it in such a loving way that when I saw I, I no longer feared being lonely and aging alone.

This is the second mystery thriller that I have read in which the main characters are Black. It was well thought out and written impressively by Sterling Anthony making his debut as an author. I read it quickly and enthusuastically, wanting to know how the several story lines were interwoven and the final conclusion. I felt at times that the author gave alot of excess information that was not necessary and was a bit distracting, however on the whole it was a good book. I liked the originality of the plot, wherein a Black male who looks Caucasian is so confused and unhappy about his racial identity that he goes to extremes of murdering those Blacks who seem to hold disdain for their race and side with the White man in perpetuating oppression. It is interesting how the author makes the killer a believeable figure, because Black people are not known for being serial killers. However, the reason that Eugene commits these crimes is not difficult to understand, given his unbalanced state of mind. I liked the way Anthony gave Mary Cunningham, the newly promoted officer in charge of the case a full, interesting life in which she had others options open to her aside from police work. She also had a loving and supportive husband. Oftentimes, Black authors want to dwell on the negative aspects of Black family life. I do hope that this is not the last that we have heard from Mr. Anthony. I would enjoy reading more of the exploits of Lt. Mary Cunningham, but whatever the subject matter I'm sure he will do it justice.

First of all, I would like to congratulate Sterling Anthony on his first novel and I really hope he comes out with another one b/c i loved this book. Just the fact that when the author is black i feel i have a personal connection with him b/c i write stories too and there aren't that many young teenager authors(black at that). But anyway throughout the whole book I enjoyed the character development, and flashbacks that occur constantly. It kept me interested and eager to find what kept me guessing. I think the plot was great to use b/c it was semi-contreversial and contreversy sales. Arguments and disagreements about things get other peoples' attention and anything can start. I love the intricate swaying of back and forth from the present to past to learn the past of each charcter. It made me believe in them more and made the book more realistic. I'm a sucker for action movies and unrealistic things and my dad always tells me that but this book I found to be truly realisitc. So if it's something realistic and I like it then it must be a good book. Go cop it.

A self-appointed crusader is bumping off victims who he regards as Oreos (black on the outside but white on the inside). A quick tempered hot mama of a homicide detective draws the assignment of stopping him. That's the plot in a nutshell. It's a fresh storyline but I didn't rate it just on originality. What I liked most was the execution and I'm not talking about the murders. I'm talking about the quality of the writing. I found every character believable with strengths and weaknesses. I disconnect with stories based on characters that are all good or all evil. The main character, Bloody Mary (no, that's not the killer), for example, has a number of personal issues that she wrestles with in addition to having to stop a serial killer. And speaking of the devil, Eugene Shaw is an original as far as I know. I've never run across the likes of him on page before and certainly hope never to in person. I sort of stumbled onto this book. It was listed as one of the books readers also bought for another book I ordered. The cover is very eye catching but I was convinced by the reviews. Now I'm returning the favor. Buy the book.

While the white wolf system is usually thoroughly enjoyable, I have found that the Mage characters start off fairly weak, easy pray for any others. The book itself was fairly easy to follow, but a little too much game specific information that newbies would not understand. I have also found the combat system to be a bit clunky at best.

The play section was misorganized (Character creation should come before playing rules) and the whole 5 pages that explain the rules do a poor job.

If you want a game to melt your mind, pick up Mage. This is the third of five lines of game books in the World of Darkness, and the one with the most hope. In Vampire, Werewold, and Wraith, you play the monster. In Changling, you play the doomed to die crazy hero. In Mage you wrestle with Reality. Your views shape the world around you. You are fighting other views, that clash with yours, to the point where your magic can be harmful to you. Overall, this is a great game. The layout is average, the system is standard White Wolf. The philosophy is fantastic. The world is what you make it. Literally. Things exist and happen because people believe they do. Your job is to change or survive people's beliefs. On the negative, the index is one of the worst I've seen. 1st Edition Mage had a much better index. The index is too short and not nearly complete enough. It even lacks the normal page framing, making it look like the authors forgot to do it before sending it to the printers, and just whipped something together. If you use this book and this game, make sure to use sticky notes for your most common rules...

Thats right. You'd have to be right out of the box of Autumn People if you think this game suxs. Seriously, this game is the best as far as the World of Darkness goes. I mean yeah the others do have some definite things running for them but come on. You get to toy with peoples beliefs here, even if that person happens to be an Atheist. The problem is those types might find this game frightening especially when they realize that reality IS up for grabs and regardless of belief its gonna be exactly the way you percieve it. Maybe some people can't handle that kind of responsibility and try to play ignorant to it. Well the Technocracy likes people like them and I like to watch them squirm to define something vulgar as a rational thing. Some people will never learn. But enough about people who such cause they can't figure a good cronicle to run, Mage: The Ascension is a book worth reading for enjoyment of reading alone. Hell I've been playing the game for years now and I still can't help but pick the book up and re-read it every once in awhile. As player and storyteller of this game I must admit its one of the most fascinating roleplaying game I've ever played.
