This book is an in depth analysis of Kant's conception of God. It is divided into two parts: the first dealing with "The idea of God" and the second with "The three theistic proofs" (the well known attempt by Kant to refute all known arguments for the existence of God). Both topics are presented in relation to the relevant philosophical concepts put forward by earlier philosophers. In this respect the reader has much to gain, since, both Kant's philosophy, as also earlier philsophical work, are constantly posited vis-a-vis each other. The author is more concerned to present Kant's views on God, rather than to criticise and improve on these views. This is an erudite work, lucidly presented. An outstanding work of scholarship.

Of all the many esoteric books published throughout the current Magickal Revival, there are none that can match the sheer comprehensive magnitude of David Allen Hulse's two volume The Key of It All, with Book One - The Eastern Mysteries published in 1993, and Book Two - The Western Mysteries published in 1994. These absolutely indispensable books catalogue, distill, and synthesize the true alphabet symbology of every Eastern and Western, Magickal and Mystical Tradition, including the Tarot. While it deals with many foreign languages and alphabets, even the beginning student will find this work easily navigable and accessible, for Hulse takes the reader step by step through the historic symbology of number and letter, transliterating the foreign scripts into English, and provides copious tables and illustrations, as well a very readable commentary with each of the world's 13 great Magickal Languages. If any one work could possibly serve as the catalyst to unify the many World Traditions into one singular Tradition, it would have to be Hulse's The Key of It All. Hulse essentially shows how each of these 13 World Traditions of alphabet and number in fact serve as a Qabalah or Tarot for each of the cultures they once, or still, represent. In many ways this book is a great Thesaurus of the World Traditions, allowing for a comparison of the synonymous metaphors which link them all in form and function. In fact, in Book Two - The Western Mysteries, Hulse offers His A = 1 code for the English Alphabet, along with some of the major Thelemic and Qabalistic proofs of its verity; and yet He wisely leaves the door open for further research into the possibilities of an English Qabalah. He also provides one of the most compelling studies ever undertaken to root out the true order and allocations of the Tarot upon the Tree of Life, and serves as S. L. Mathers greatest champion in revealing how this previously unheralded Master's work has formed the foundation of all subsequent Tarot symbology. His work with Mathers' Golden Dawn attributions, as well as Waite's Tarot symbology truly has no equal in the world of Occult literature.

Briefly, I have been looking for a good non-Microsoft book that will offer a critical review of their latest OS - Win95. I had a client with a number of problems after an upgrade and I found the answers immediatly when I looked in the index. I then looked for other odd index topics and found reference to all of them. Other books, including MS Press titles, did not have reference or at least the depth that this book did. Buy it. Greg Barry

I should have known that I was destined to be a historian, given that this was my childhood picture book. My mother's copy is dogeared and threadbare and beloved. The scholarship is not necessarily the highest, and some of the illustrations are over-romanticised Victorian engravings, but it gives an excellent thumbnail sketch of every ruler of England from Edgbert (giving it a leg-up on many other survays, which begin with William the Conqueror or, if they are better, Edward the Confessor) to Elizabeth II, listing birth date and place, marriage(s), children (legitmate and illegitamate), date, cause and place of death, and place of burial, with a essay ranging from two paragraphs to two pages, depending on the importance of the ruler.

It also gives the same information for all the rulers of Scotland, and information, although not as complete, for the native princes of Wales. Not authoritative, but filled with a great deal of basic information, and illustrations of places and tomb monuments.

Despite the misleading product information, this book is well worth a little extra shipping to get it. In fact, since its original publication, Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking has sold over two MILLION copies in its original English language, placing it alongside the world's most successful best-sellers.

Since Allen Carr wrote The Easy Way to Stop Smoking, there have been many inferior copies - people who have just added an extra little twist here, or a shake there. Essentially, they are all admitting that Carr's system works. They are all bowing to the master who, over twenty years ago, realized that the addiction to cigarettes was as easy to stop as making the decision to have dinner... as long as you understand why it was never that easy before. Essentially, Carr points out that all that is stopping us is our FEAR of stopping - our FEAR that we're going to spend the rest of our lives craving a cigarette. He bunks the myth, then helps us face the decision to quit.

AND IT WORKS (this from someone on three packs a day for the last 35 years!). Why am I so sure I've got it beat this time? Because I'm not struggling with a will-power problem (there's very little will-power involved), I'm not missing my old habit (there's nothing worth missing), and I'm not snacking to find a substitute (no substitutes are allowed - or needed).

Sounds too good to be true? Don't believe it. Go get this book wherever you can (...), and QUIT NOW.

In Rikards 3rd adventure he returns to the less legal aspects, of among other things, archaeology. Rikard who was the hero of both Jewels of the Dragon, and Crown of the Serpent, now has two new companions...Grayshard, a tathas type (fungal) life form, and Droagn, an Ahmear (a large serpent-like creature) who was 'rescued' by Rikard and Grayshard from the Tschagan, after being in stasis for a few million years (read Crown of the Serpent for the details on that story). In Lair of the Cyclops, Rikard and his crew head out to discover the secrets (and perhaps a few nice artifacts to sell on the black-market) of a race that changed the galaxy for the better, and then was wiped out of existence. Along the way Rikard and his friends run into another Gesta who creates much grief for all who encounter her. Ms. Toerson, cares nothing for anyone or anything, her ego is so great she would destroy acient and irreplaceable artifacts, just so no one else could ever see them. Unwittingly Rikard is her nemisis, even though he is also a gesta, like Ms. Toerson, Rikard has reverence for life and antiquities, and he must stop her rampage of destruction. Ms. Toerson's connections to wealthy and powerful people keep her immune from criminal prosecutions, and even to some degree Rikard. At every turn she is there to thwart and destroy every discovery Rikard and his friends make before they can be recorded for the scholars to study. It is truly a struggle of wills and prowess between the two gesta. Readers should definately check out the first two books in the saga, to get the full background in Rikard and his friends, but this book stands well on it's own which is good because the first two are hard to find. Mr. Wold has an incredibly vivid and fertile concept of of the universe these novels take place in, and I am definately looking forward to more adventures of Rikard Braeth, either in his home stellar region, or another such as the Anarchy of Raas, or the Abogarn Hegemony
