This is a new and wonderful collection of small bites of wisdom from the astonishing mind of a man named Fulton Sheen.

The Forward by Patricia Kossman, is a perfect and true reminder of what she calls, "a singular truth": "We are made for God; we are made to share eternity with Him . . . ."

"Listen to this! There are no limits to the truth you can know, to the life you can live, to the love you can enjoy, and to the beauty you can experience."

Do you believe that? I believe that. And as the years of my life pass, I find myself trying to surrender every moment to that "singular truth." Books like this are like candles that cast small beams of pure light to show me the way through the darkness.

This book would make a marvelous gift for all kinds of speakers and writers, religious and secular, including political speech writers!

Every quote is wise, beautiful in simplicity, awesome in complexity.

If we could get America reading Sheen and considering his amazing insights, I believe we could change the world.

Fulton Sheen's words are a powerful reminder that love is a battle we can win.

"Shorty" Fulton was a man with big dreams in a country big enough to provide an opportunity for an entrepreneur to achieve them. If this statement sounds like a cliché, it is, and it is precisely true. His daughter has written a loving and humorous memoir of her father's role in the birth of aviation in Ohio. From building his own plane in 1912 to the creation and promotion of Akron's Municipal Airport, to talking his way overseas during WW II and ending up in a German POW camp at age 53, Bain "Shorty" Fulton was an American classic, a real visionary.

Elynore Fulton Hambleton chronicles the magical years when pilots literally flew by the seats of their pants, dirigibles almost became the airship of choice, and the National Air Races were the biggest event in Ohio. At seven, Elynore was shoveling slag off a truck driven by her nine-year-old sister to fill in a giant "A" so pilots could identify the airport from the air. The girls met the daring young pilots and the celebrities who were attracted to the air races. But they also experienced tragedy when their pilot friends were killed in crashes. At a time when girls were traditionally relegated to home and hearth, "Shorty" believed that his girls were capable of helping run the airport and related businesses.

In 140 fascinating pages, "Shorty" Fulton's imaginative promotions, the ups and downs of business, his WW II experiences, and their sometimes hilarious family life demonstrate the kind of "can-do" that Americans are noted for. Yep, they don't make 'em like that anymore!

This book is amazing! It is similar in thought to the "Theology of the Body" and "Love and Responsibility" by Pope John Paul 2, yet more personable and easier to understand. Fulton Sheen is an incredible author! Every sentence in the book is so thought-provoking it should be a famous quote!

The book delves deep (yes, this book IS deep! You could get something new from it every time you read it) into the mystery of love, explaining the fundamental importance of why love HAS to be triune, composed of the lover, the beloved, and LOVE (God Himself) to be successful. It is always comparing this with marriage and nuptial love, and examining this sacrament more thoroughly. Its focus is on the theology of love, so be sure and supplement it with other books dealing more with the practical issues of Christian marriage and sexuality, such as Christopher West's new book, "Good News About Sex and Marriage".

This is a must read! Keep a pencil handy for underlining quotes!

I like this book called "Walt Disney's 101 Dalmatians" by Ann Braybrooks & Illustrated by Gil DiCicco & this book is like Anna Sewell's Black Beauty book illustrated by Eric Rowe.

I think Gil DiCicco & Eric Rowe are alike & Ann Braybrooks & Anna Sewell are simular too!!!

Here's what happens in chapter 4. & here are my favorite words I like to read from any disney book & it goes:

One night, Cruella's two nasty henchmen, Horace & Jasper kidnapped the puppies.

Horace & Jasper were stealing the puppies so, Cruella DeVil could make a fur coat out of the.

Perdy the dog managed to pull a coat over Horace'S head, confusing him. "Jasper! Jasper!" Horace yelled. "Get me out of here."
Horace stumbles & falls into the fireplace, landing in the flames.
When Horace jumped up, he accidently knocked Jasper into the wall.
More plaster came crashing down, this time on top of the Baduns.
The two dogs race out of the house after the puppies.

In the ending, the dogs go home & that's a happy ending.

This book reminds me of Anna Sewell's book on Black Beauty illustrated by Eric Rowe & you could buy them used & new for both on amazon.com.

I loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sleeping Beauty was, of course a good movie for those Disney fans who love the great artist's works. The three good fairies, Flora, Fauna and Merryweather offered a single gift to the newborn princess. But the evil Maleficent crashed the party and cursed Aurora by pricking her finger to the venomous spindle of a spinning wheel and die at her 16th birthday. As a Disney fan, I'm considering that this beautiful young princess will be saved at last by the third of the fairy trio, Merryweather, who had given to her this almost tiny gift: When Aurora pricks her finger into evil witch Maleficent's spinning wheel, she cannot die. Instead of death, the princess will sleeping into a deep slumber until a charming prince wake her with the true love's kiss. So Maleficent turns herself into an evil black fire-breathing dragon to stop Prince Phillip to rescue sleeping Aurora. But the good fairies combine their magic to the mighty Sword of Truth, chanting "Now, Sword of Truth, fly swift and sure. That evil die and good endure!", and the prince throw his magic sword straight as an arrow into the dragon's heart. I'm sure that's a nice movie and I strongly recommend it to all the children beginning from 5 to 12 years old.

. . .because my grandfather wrote this book. (Yes, my GRANDFATHER -- that isn't a misprint.)

This book is part of a privately published one (originally published in the 1920s) that included a complete genealogical review with family tree. Butternut Press republished the memoir part in 1986.

William F. Fulton wrote this in response to requests from his children to record his memories of his childhood and the War of Secession. Not recorded here is the fact that his father, who owned more than 100 slaves, was in favor of keeping the South in the Union. There seems to have been no split in the family because of differing political opinions, contrary to what the common view of the times is.

His picture of everyday life on Farview Plantation totally fascinates me, even more than his experiences during the war. The fact that he walked all the way home to Alabama from Appomattox is also striking, and I've often wished to revisit those places and to make that walk myself. That part of the book is from journals he kept along the way.

The true value of this book in the large historical view of things is its honesty. There is no revisionism here -- this is what he experienced as he remembered it.

He blasts away at one popular myth of the time, for example -- he tells us there was no Barbara Fritchie! He writes, "Whittier, I think, has written a poem about Barbara Fritchey waving a banner (and a whole lot of stuff), as we passed through the streets of Frederick, which is fiction, pure and simple. Nothing of the kind ever occurred."

William Fulton was a religious man, as was his father. They both lived their faith and practiced it, and I and my own family are blessed today because of that.

I had come across this gem of short stories while taking a break from a classical Chinese literature class during my Master's studies. First, I commend Bruce Fulton for his poetic translations. Having read some of the stories in Korean, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the translations.

The book is comprised of Korean "award winners" of the 1980's who happen to be females. The topics range widely but the theme that runs its course throughout all the stories are of frustration and despair brought on by the oppressive and traditional dictates of Korean society. All the antagonists view and form their identity in relation to men and also to their roles as mothers and wives. If their characters seem feeble, it is only because the authors are bold in exposing the societal ills that lie beneath the much censored nation.

As anyone who's gone on the on-line search knows the sheer abundance of the websites can make it difficult to find the information that you're looking for. Provides with completely revised information that reflects the latest web directory based on interests, subjects, catagories, and many more, this book can super-change your on-line search.

So, bid farewell to the futile and frustrating web excursions. Whether you're looking for vital information or just want to know a place to hang out and kill a little time, this book helps you get where you want to go. It will be a wonderful value to many readers. I recommend it.

Ginger Adair has cleverly and insightfully adapted Proverbs 31 for elementary aged girls in this little book. Specific verses from Proverbs 31 are printed in small type at the bottom of the pages to facilitate memorization of this Bible chapter. The paraprased text is in very large print for the young reader.

The illustrations are adorable, black-line drawings suitable for coloring with fine-tipped colored pencils. The pictures show children sewing, shopping, gardening, cleaning house, reading the Bible, and taking care of family members (dog and cat.)

Ginger has presented adult truths on a child's level. It's very cute. I have my own copy, but intend to purchase more for use in Bible classes at church.

With his usual lucidity, Fulton brings together the surprisingly wide area of mathematics concerned with Young tableaux. These are combinatorial patterns which index basis vectors of group representations (either of the symmetric group or the general linear group). These vectors can be seen as Plucker coordinate functions on non-linear representations, namely homogeneous spaces (Grassmannians and flag varieties). Thus, Young tableaux form an invaluable tool to examine these representations and varieties in concrete detail. Fulton also gives a good exposition of the combinatorial operations on tableaux which reflect the crystal basis structure from quantum GL(n), though Fulton does not explicitly discuss quantum groups. Other good expositions of these topics, from a more algebraic and combinatorial point of view, are Sagan's newly revised "The Symmetric Group", and Stanley's "Enumerative Combinatorics", Vol 2.
