As time goes by, some books seem to loom larger. Such is the case with Bryan Gruley's Paper Losses. As media companies continue to combine with frightening speed, it's unlikely that the nation will ever see another crosstown newspaper rivalry as vital and potent as Detroit's. Gruley's book stands tall as an epic of lost opportunity for all Americans.

This book had all of the recipes on the ebers papyrus. it is a good book for a healer or someone intrested in egypt.

This is one excellent resource for lay people and students that helps understanding scientific concepts and terminology that bombards us today. While the television tells us that we will be blasted into an ice age through the greenhouse effect, we can enjoy browsing through this to find out the whys and hows. There are plenty of cross-references within entries that make it easy to locate information. It's a good read and worth putting into your library.

The images are stunning, and the book is jammed packed with them. The dialogue for all these gardens and places, is surprisingly an interesting read as well. Truly a pleasure to look through...

I don't know what enticed me to choose this particular book to read, what I do know is that it is not a book that you read once and then set aside to collect dust. "Pilgrimage for Ecstasy" is a story about finding yourself, through adventure, through love, through change, and through pain. This is the first book I have ever read that has been able to collectively combine, humor, sadness, adventure and love into one story, that reads incredibly smoothly. I am 21, my Dad is near sixty, he started to read my copy and burst out into laughter, followed by him requesting a copy of his own. Point being, there is so much variety in the story that everyone can relate and enjoy it.

No church is perfect, but the church that strives to follow the Biblical strategies set forth in this book will go a long way to being the kind of church that is needed in this age.

It's in vogue for social scientists to declare they are interested in the body. This collection of theoretical articles offers a solid foundation for people who make such declarations to know what they are talking about. Yes, there's life after Foucault. Micro-politics and the realities of sensual experience offer scientists a way of not outdating themselves.

I found this book to be well written and thought provoking

I would recommend this book to people who have browsed the web and now want to get involved in writing their own web pages. I love the fact its Macintosh oriented! Also, this book takes you through a (brief) history of hypertext, html, etc. and explains (briefly) the controversies between purists and standardizers - I have a better understanding of where all this came from. Pfaffenberger is an excellent and entertaining writer - maybe a little tiny bit simplistic in some ways but not condescendingly patronizing and very thorough. After having looked through several books including "HTML for Dummies" (definitely condescending) and another thick book professing to give you everything you need to know on running a website (which was written by a compendium of people and assumed you understood all sorts of things) - I would say this is a great starting point. (I rated a 9 because I feel there is ALWAYS room for improvement...)

I know three of the medical doctors (All members of the Osler Society) who assembled these choice selections uttered and (mostly) penned by Sir William Osler . . who seems to have felt strongly on only one controversial subject = that men seldom did any worthwhile creative work after age 40 and would do well to be "chloroformed" at age 60. Sir William died at age 70. The term "Internal Medicine" was coined in German-speaking Europe during Sir William's post-graduate training years there and he established the definition of the "specialty" at Johns Hopkins. The "specialty" has now out-lived its usefulness but our reverence for the man who contributed more than any other to the art and science of patient care obviously is being passed along to many young men and women who choose to be REAL PHYSICIANS.
