Brilliant insights and easy to apply the tools supplied.
One of my all time favorite books. I did not want
to skip a single chapter. Transits, Eclipses, Progressions.
Definately NOT a run of the mill cookie cutter astrology book!

The parable of the eagle and the lark is as beautiful as it is apt. Before you start to make assumptions about what is coming up for the chart you are interpreting, make sure you're standing on solid technical ground. As I work through this book I marvel at the generosity of spirit of the author. She shares the nuts and bolts of her analytical technique - a very astute one. You will learn how to interpret transits, progressions and solar returns, but you will also learn some important caveats. Never again will I look at a transit before determining the progressed lunar phase and house position! Arm yourself with a technique for ranking the relative importance of transiting aspects. Learn Ms. Brady's transit grid and timeline techniques. Read concrete examples drawn from the life of Joan of Arc. Before you begin to sing, do the preparation. Buy this book.

I became interested in reading this book after seeing an article in _The Mountain Astrologer_ on eclipses and the Saros Cycles, which designated "The Eagle and the Lark" as a primary source. (This book is a reissue of "the Eagle and the Lark".) Brady has outlined a simple yet effective means of delineating transits, progressions, and eclipses, not to mention time maps. Bravo on a book meant to enlighten and empower the astrologer! Definitely a must-have!

This book surprised me. I am not inclined to read books about humans relating to birds or animals. Once I began to read Raising Susan, however, I became increasingly captived. It told an amazing story in a seamlessly detailed and dramatic way. With a man, a woman, and a golden eagle as its protagonists, the story is really a strange love story, filled with obstacles, breakthroughs, heartbreak, joy, and even violence, as the eagle attacks the man who seeks to be close to her. Read it and believe it.

This is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable nature stories I have ever read; full of drama and even physical conflict as Susan, the abused golden eagle the Hyndmans brought to their avian santcuary, attacked Cecil Hyndman. Not once, but three times, almost blinding him in the most serious attack. Yet Susan showed she had a less fercious side, bonding so closely with Adele she was able to stroke and kiss the large eagle with an almost 8-foot wingspan. Susan responded with physical proof of her deep attachment to Adele by laying 17 eggs in captivity, some directly into Adele's hands -- the only female eagle to do so in captivity. The Hyndmans raised other large birds of prey at Featherland, including a female great horned owl that also laid 14 eggs. The Hyndmans were also famous for teaching many birds considered untrainable to speak. They were referred to as modern-day "Dr. Dolittles" -- an apt description. This book tells the intertwined and convoluted story of what must surely be one of the oddest love stories ever -- between a man, a woman and a golden eagle.

Bill Burns has done an exemplary job of capturing the interaction between Susan, a golden eagle with a five foot wing span, four inch claws and a brutal beak and Cecil and Adele Hyndman. Their challenging and intimate relationship with Susan took place over a twenty-five year period. The meticulous notes that Cecil kept of Susan the eagle and some three hundred other birds he cared for in Feartherland provide us with insight and understanding of birds not recorded elsewhere. It was Cecils dream to be recognized not as an untrained ameteur bird lover but rather as an authority on birds and their capacity to interact in amazing ways with humans.Burns has enabled Cecil to do this in relating what he learned about the golden eagle who shared such a major part of his life. If you love eagles this story will surprize and amaze you. Burns has written a very fine book.

For everyone who thinks they know what it takes to be a top gun pilot based on the film, Top Gun, run, don't walk to the store and get Bob Wilcox's "Scream of Eagles." Here's the real story of the creation of Top Gun during the Vietnam war and it's a hell of a good story as told by Wilcox. He really puts you in the cockpit with the best of the best. They should make this into a movie!

This book is becoming a buzzword in flight simulator forums around the Internet. Anyone who's 'flown' a flight simultor on their home computers should read this book. It'll really change the way you view PC 'flying'. I also recommend Wilcox's other book, "Wings of Fury", which is a collection of tales from Navy and Air Force pilots from Viet Nam to Tripoli to Desert Storm. "Scream of Eagles" is a must-read for aviation enthusiasts and Viet Nam historians, and a very good read for everyone else.

SCREAM OF EAGLES is a book that tells about the Navy's air war in Vietnam- the terrible losses of expensive aircraft to a peasent's air force, and the triumphant victory after the creation of the Navy's Fighter Weapon School (Top Gun).

This book has accounts from such Navy pilots as Randy Cunningham and others, as well as detailed analysis of dogfights in Vietnam and in the Top Gun school. It's obvious that Robert Wilcox knows his stuff about Naval Aviation.

I found this book 7 yrs ago when I was in 8th grade. I've read it about 5 or 6 times since then. This book has continually opened up my eyes to experience God in different ways. It is full of wisdom and power. Every time I read it I learn something new, and I am reminded of things I've learned once before. I've never been so moved by a book next to the Bible. Flying Eagle's wisdom is relevant for everyone who wants to learn more about how God moves in the world. It's an awesome reminder that God is the God of every creature, and that everyone/everything experiences Him in a different way. Many of the ways this book has moved me are undescribable in words. I suggest that it is read with an open mind and with lots of prayer that the Holy Spirit will speak to your heart as you read it.

I did not want to put this book down but needed to and did after each chapter to digest the very content. I belive it was written so we can see our journey with new eyes, I believe occasionally religion has a way of coming between us and God and this author confirmed this for me. The author spoke of broadening the boundaries and refrain from rigid beliefs but to listen for truth in the silence between the words and to consider that everything belongs.

Fabulous book, couln't put it down. A Christian man with a big heart is taught the mysteries of the Great Spirit by an Indian Medicine Man. He is taught to channel his anger to become a warrior. "The warrior does not fight against evil; the warrior stands firm at the boundaries." Nature and God are love. All creation comes from Love. Each person's battle is in learning to love and accept their dark side. This book is Truth in a very distilled form.

This is one of the 10 best books I have ever read! The story and the test and the explaination show the reader why they are frustrated with the typical Church experience and why they need to have an "eagle" life. Hearing God and Soul Care by the same author are good follow ons to this.

In a very simple yet profound way, Peter Lord does much to heal wounds in souls burdened by the excesssive demands of conformity to man made rules and regulations. The book encourages us to realize that we are sons and heirs with the Master Jesus Christ. What a wonderful little book. When i finished reading it, I did indeed begin to feel my spirit souring. Thank you Peter

Lord shows us how easilly we have been duped into wrong thinking about who we really are as Christians. We are eagles who were created to soar in life. Instead, we have been taught that we are just turkeys, never experiencing the fulness that was intended for us.

I have read this book over and over through the years since I was in Jr. High! I love Bob Stromberg. He is an awesome song writer and story teller. He has an awesome testimony and you need to get this book!

This book of short stories has the reader rolling with laughter on one page and crying crocodile tears on the next. One cannot help but examine his or her own walk in life after reading this lovely group of tales. It is a reminder that God fills our lives with much humor, awesome color, amazing miracles, and sometimes brings us through unbearable pain. This is excellent and uplifting. It is a shame that it is no longer in print! I have let so many people borrow mine for encouragement, and now it has not been returned--it's that good!

Any ideas on where i can find this book? Email me at Jirzy@aol.com this is one of my most favorite books that I have ever read AND hilariously funny Unfortunately it is out of print:(

This is the first textbook I have encountered in the field of martial arts, and it's great for martial artists and lay-persons alike. Traditional martial artists will find this an excellent reference, depicting stances, the traditional Pal-Gwes (katas), black belt forms, a history of ten extention tools, self-defense techniques, and a variety of other general martial arts information. It is full of great photographs and descriptive text.

This is a great book for a lay-person who may be interested in the martial arts because it explains the traditional philosophy of the martial arts and general principles that many schools have in common. This makes it a good place to begin learning about the martial arts in general.

The textbook also includes tests at the end of each chapter so you can see what you learned and review some of the most important principles of that particular chapter. Finally, it is probably the first documented American style. I would HIGHLY recommend this book for anyone interested in the martial arts.

I own two copies of this book and have photocopied some of the katas to use where the books might get damaged. In addition to information specific to the American Martial Arts Institute, there are Korean, Japanese, Chinese and American forms, practical self defense techniques and a series of basic blocking and striking techniques.

In these respects, the books cover for an American Style what Richard Chun covers in "Tae Kwon Do" and "Advancing in Tae Kwon Do." Like those books, it covers skills as basic as stretching, making a fist and executing basic kicks to the structure of advanced katas. This book goes farther by covering introductions to weapons such as bo, tonfa and sai, some complex self defense series and training exercises like ippon kumite and circular self defense.

While no single book can cover all aspects of the martial arts completely, this is an excellent, well rounded reference for the martial artist.

I read this book some 25 years ago. Several times in fact. I am delighted to find that it is back in print! The trials and triumphs described are great lessons for experienced as well as novice falconers. A good object lesson for analyzing the personal preparations for handling such a large and powerful raptor.

Sam Barnes deserves our utmost respect for the huge efforts he made to bring a Berkut Golden Eagle from behind the iron curtain to the county side of wales. Once he received her his "battles" had just begun. He had to tame a raptor that could easily kill him with her talons as she had killed wolves in the wild. Mr. Barnes discribes the sad treatment Atalanta recieved by her cruel captors, the tender affection she showed for an "adopted" owlet and the savagery which always lurked just below the surface of this beautiful creature. If you love animals, raptors or a good story about a person who wanted to make a difference using will, love and patience do not miss this book. At the end you will want it to go on and on.

This book is an excellent read. It speaks to people between the ages of 13 and 100. It is historically correct and should have been written years ago! It's about time that someone stood up and wrote the truth about who really discovered America. What seperates this book from all others is the hilarity and its way of allowing the reader to truly connect with the character! Trust me, this is NOT a dry, boring read by any stretch of the imagination, but the reader will be to busy laughing their heads off to notice, anyway. ...

I had read the prior publishing of this story (985 - Discovery of America), and this publication of it is much better! I loved the great story line and Mr Cherry's funny, conversational writing style in the older version, and this version is just as well written. The one thing that this publisher *did* do much better is to correct some of the typos that were missed the last time around. A big improvement for picky folks like me!

The book is still wonderful, and if you didn't get a chance to read "985 - the Dicovery of America", I definitely suggest picking up Blood Eagle. It's a refined version of the original brilliant story. As always, it brings history to light in a way that few authors have been able to do, making it exciting, informative, and damn funny. That's a rare mix in historical fiction, and I know I for one wish some history professors would take his cue and make history *fun*, as Cherry shows it clearly can be.

Rumour has it, Mr Cherry has a new book due out this summer, and I know I'll be the first on line to buy it!

This is a wonderful addition to the Bill Slider/Atherton series. There are enough plot twists in it to keep anyone interested, and Ms. Harrod-Eagles' wit shines throughout the entire book. In this installment a gruesome murder of a music critic occurs in a television station bathroom, and Slider is on the trail of what turns out to be a religious zealot. Even though I had figured out the murderer about 1/2 way through, it did not take away from the story. There were still wonderful characters to meet and a spine-tingling ending to get to. This series is my current favourite and I can't wait to get to the next one.

Blood all over the bog!

Opinionated, egotistical music critic Roger Greatrex is found with his throat cut in a restroom at the BBC television studios minutes before he's due to appear on a music discussion panel show. Panelists and production people alike are comfortable with the notion that the poor chap committed suicide.

Detective Inspector Bill Slider, however, begins to doubt the suicide theory when he notices signs that the body has been tampered with. Trouble is, if the man was murdered just about everyone connected with the show had motive and opportunity, and few have alibis.

The author, obviously enjoying every twist in the tale, takes Slider, his crew - along with the reader - up and down the garden path, through the hoops and over the jumps before she allows us to solve the mystery.

Cynthia Harrod-Eagles. What a joy of a writer we have here! She writes a clear good-humored prose with a lively wit and presents us with principal characters, Slider and his love Joanna, and Atherton his sergeant, who share our own foibles and frustrations, aspirations and disappointments.

All five of the Bill Slider mysteries are beautifully plotted and the author always plays fair with her readers. She also understands the value of the narrative hook. DEATH TO GO, for example, opens with a character discovering a severed finger in his take-out fish and chips.

The outrageous puns that Harrod- Eagles sneaks into her stories are real bonuses for this reader. In BLOOD LINES, Joanna refers to Verdi's Requiem as 'The O.K. Chorale'. A mischievous writer, this one. Just take a look at her picture on the dust jacket of one of her books.

Mysteries aside, Cynthia Harrod-Eagles is an award-winning historical novelist with more than 45 books to her credit.

Whatever the genre, this fan suggests you get your hands on a bunch of our author's first editions. You'll not only have rewarding reading but you might also just turn a tidy profit down the line.
