America is a great Country - right! There is no denying it, for 200 million people who live a rich and decent life. America is fantastic. There are not many countries in the World that can stand up to its wealth, power and its radicalism.

'Under the Eagle' isn't an exercise in attacking America - it isn't about that! It shows you the reality behind American Foreign Policy. Jenny Pierce with acute accuracy explains that the Latin American Countries are rich but the people are quite poor. The reason behind thier exploitation is American greed, and control. America uses the wealth of the poor for its own people. It's a great examination of American Politcs and gives you an alternative viewpoint and perspective to what you may learn from American run media and mncs from day to day.

I reccomend this book to all, to all people no matter who you are, all people should buy this book.

By the way, I believe it was once banned and now it's out of print. America doesn't like criticism - does it.

Hope this is enough information for you all.

What an incredible book. This is THE reference for the F-15. Author Don Logan is exhaustive in his research and the amount of information (all in one place) is going to make this book hard to put down. If there was only something like this for the F-16 !

When Walking With The Angels was published in 1998 it was a welcome addition to the host of "angel" material that flooded the markets during the nineties. White Eagle had informed us that we would become more aware of the angelic kingdom as we moved further into the Age of Aquarius, so this influx of books and media programs was altogether not unexpected. The popular perception of angelic beings, however, was confusing, as they were presented as anything from supernatural beings to helpful humans in the right place at the right time. There was a great need for clarification.
Walking With The Angels is White Eagle's teachings about angels, their work and their relationship with humanity.Although it contains some previously published material, it is essentially composed of unpublished teachings given by White Eagle. It also includes a commentary by Anna Hayward designed to help the reader develop "those qualities to which the angels are most attuned." White Eagle teaches that angelic and human life-forms cannot work without each other. "Make no mistake! The human race, whether it knows it or not, lives through all time under the guardianship of God's angels."
Divided into two parts, Walking With The Angels explores in Part One the angelic qualities of dispassion, humility, simplicity, harmony and beauty and examines the angels' intimate connection with all creation. Part Two explores the vast structure of the angelic kingdom, the varied roles of angels, the importance of ritual and ceremonnial performed by angels at sacred sites, and the powerful influence of the great planetary angels.
Our curiosity demands that we learn something about the appearance of angels. They are "beings twice, thrice your own stature, beings with great auras radiant and limitless. The emanation of light pouring from these beings takes the form of wings--rays of power and strength, that enfold and protect."
Walking With The Angels beautifully encapsulates all of White Eagle's teachings about angels, reassuring us that life has far greater meaning and purpose than we can imagine. It satisfies our curiosity and mental need to "know" more about angels, at the same time as it gently teaches us how we may have a satisfying relationship with these beings of compassion and loving wisdom and work with them to serve all life.

War Eagles: The Story of 71 Eagle Squadron, by the late James Saxon Childers, is the best book about the Eagle Squadrons, (later known as the Fourth Fighter Group, whose motto is "Fourth but First), and should this book should be read in conjunction with Adolf Galland's The First and the Last. It tells the story of 71 Eagle Squadron, which ultimately became 121 and 133 Eagle Squadrons, was the first of the three Eagle Squadrons to be formed. The Eagle Squadrons were formed by Americans who'd gone to Britain at great risk to themselves, to fight the Germans. From 1935 to 1941, we had the strictest neutrality laws in the world. The Neutrality Act of 1935 said that any American who fought for belligerants would lose his citizenship. The Eagle Squadrons had their beginnings in 1940. Americans, some pilots, some not, went to Britain via Canada. They then entered the RAF. Some of them were survivors of the sinking of the British liner Athenia. Others were volunteers. Like the American Volunteer Group, they were the only bright spot in those dark early days of World War II, when isolationist sentiments were still running strong in this country. Any would-be isolationist should read this book.

I found out about "The Way of an Eagle" through the International Golf Association awards (it was a finalist for book of the year), or I never would have heard of it. Not only does it have highly personal, high revealing interviews with top golfers like Tom Lehman, Paul Azinger, Betsy King, and about 40 others, it includes VERY helpful golfing tips from each touring professional. Includes interviews with Senior and Women's tour golfers as well. Interesting introduction by Byron Nelson, of all people. If you've got a golfer in your family who has ANY religious faith, he or she'd love this book. Good-looking photographs, too. Nice father's day gift.

I "borrowed" a copy of this book almost ten years ago from my elementary school library, I read it then and re-read it many times. It is fantastic. It was published in the 70's and it would be really hard to find but worth the effort.

In San Diego, thirteen-year-old Alexis Castille-Reed attends a pool party where the alcohol flows. An accident occurs, but fortunately no one dies. However, her upset mother "banishes" Alexis for the summer to live with her father in International Falls, Minnesota.

Alexis' dad is the authority on the bald eagles. Currently, he leads a study that is banding eaglets to gain research on their natural habitat. Alexis is put to work, but though she loves the birds, she remains angry with her father for deserting her. On a nearby island, Alexis climbs up a tree to remove a fish lure from an eagle's nest. However, when she lifts an eaglet out of the nest, she drops the bird. That error is compounded when she finds herself stranded on the island protecting the injured eaglet from nasty weather and a bear.

This is a wonderful preadolescent to young teen novel that focuses on Alexis, a person in trouble. She needs closure on her younger brother's death from cancer, but at first is not able to find a way to grieve without guilt for living and without alienating her parents also mourning in their own ways. Through the eaglet rescue, Alexis attains an understanding especially of her father whom she previously loathed as well as personal comfort. Though her parents talking with one another following their estrangement feels strained, WHEN EAGLES FALL is a strong survivalist tale that the young at heart will enjoy soaring with.

This is a very good resource for helping to understand the estate administration process in Florida. Although Florida requires the hiring of an attorney to administer all but small estates, being knowledgeable in the process can make a difficult process go much smoother. This book also advises those not directly involved in the administration process, which is particularly useful as those persons may not have the direct advice of an attorney. This is a book that should be read by every single Floridian. Although the subject matter is not fun, it will effect every Floridian at least once in their lives and ignorance in this area can lead to some very costly lessons for both yourself and your loved ones.

You should be aware that since this book's publication, Florida has made some significant changes to its probate code. However, these changes do not affect the majority of this book.

Scarrow's third installment of Cato and Macro in 'When the Eagle Hunts' drops us into Camulodunum (after a quick account of the shipwreck of Valerius Maxientius with unknown female plus children in the Channel) where our familiar heroes are frequenting a seedy tavern as Macro continues his 'courtship' of the forthright Iceni warrior, Boudica. Given the previous two novels this unashamed and blatant use of another venerated historical figure comes as no surprise, even less so the parodied caricature of her as a lustful, forthright and general adventurer.
Still, with good humour we follow them into the tavern and then meet Boudica's mentor and husband-to-be, Prasutagas whose characterisation as a huge warrior with little intellectual capacity is entirely at odds with actual history. Scarrow introduces a minor love triangle with the usually dour Macro falling for the lively Boudica though he refuses to admit it.
The action of the third novel takes off with the Augusta II being sent to Calleva (near the modern town of Silchester) in order to scout the Britons' next move. Whilst down there the sixth cohort under Hortensius is ambushed in a town that has previously been raided by the Durotriges and they fight a rearguard action all the way back to the legion. It is at this point we learn of a shadowy order of Druids who have captured General Plautius wife, Pomponia, and children, Julia and Aelius, and are holding them to ransom in return for the legion's own prisoners.
Macro and Cato are sent undercover deep into the Durotriges territory to attempt a rescue of the prisoners. Their guides are Boudica and Prasutagas - neatly providing us with some amusing asides as each learns to live with the other. We move from farmhouse to secret villages as the four delve ever deeper into southern Britain until they finally catch up with them at a formidable hillfort. Cato attempts a risky rescue via the drains (having previously saved one of the children, Julia) after Macro is felled with a sword blow to the head and in the process of the legion's storming the fort receives a near fatal wound from the sickle of the head Druid. However all ends well and finally Cato gets what he deserves - promotion to centurion and both he and Macro end up in their own personal sickward for a month to cap it all off.
Mr Cornwell doesn't have 'too much to fear' (as he professes on the front covers) but Scarrow's books are an enormously refreshing in the historical genre. The purist can pick multiple holes in their historical accuracy and probably several characterisations that are more parodies, but it simply does not matter.
For Scarrow historical accuracy is not all-important. What is important and where he succeeds admirably is in providing a ripping yarn that has action, adventure, characters you can delight in, and plot lines that are gripping.
I hope the adventures of Cato and Macro continue for a very long time and eagerly await the next installment.

This is one of the first books on Buddhism I have read that really helped me to understand how much of our thinking is dependent upon our feelings, and how to deal with the emotions and the level of being that is based on emotional reaction. It became clearer to me through reading this book how many of our reactions and judgements have an emotional base. When I realized the author of this book was a woman, somehow the level of thorough attention given to this challenging aspect of ones practice, made perfect sense. Most works in Buddhist philosophy/ thought have been written by men. Her focus and language spoke directly to me in a way I have not found in other books. She expanded my knowledge and awareness of my own self-observation in the meditation process. She also offers much description on meditation techniques.
