This is a workbook-for both those comtemplating death or planning for it as an eventuality. It is also an instructional book on various methods of dealing with property so that one's wishes are fulfilled after death. Even young adults should have this to help parents or friends deal with loved ones with fatal or potential fatal diseases.

I read this a long time ago along with the companion edition, Joe Mauser. This story is the best idealistically written one-on-one combat story I have ever read. It sticks in my memory year after year. The idea of one man representing an entire country in decisive and final combat isn't here yet, but....

The title of this book is deceptively simple. It is not just about the symbolism of the stupa, but it encompasses much, much more. It is a detailed and scholarly description of Buddhist iconography and its Vedantic antecedents. As such it covers much of the cosmological and philosophical underpinnings of Brahmin and Buddhist myths, ritual, art and sculpture. I think it is compulsory reading for anyone intending to visit Buddhist places of pilgrimage, for it gives meaning not just to the structure of the stupa, but to most, if not all, the various symbols and art forms found in such places. Through this book one comes to appreciate, how dense the stupa and the various symbols associated with it are, in meaning and significance. Unfortunately the book as published by Motilal Banarsidass in the hardcover edition, has poor quality paper and the typeface is that used by the good old Remington mechanical typewriters of yesteryear. The excellence of the work will however keep any Buddhologist riveted! Even if your interests are not as deep as what this book caters for, it is still something you can dip in and out of, and still be richer for!

This is the type of book all historicals should be like. The heroine was great! She was funny and didn't hesistate to go out and kick some butt! The hero was also quite good. It is a rousing tale and very very hot! A must for any collection!

I'll admit that this book touches my heart since it includes photos of Santas created by my Mom and me!! The pictures of the San Angelo Christmas at Old Fort Concho are wonderful along with the pictorials of Texas at its happiest. The recipes that I have tried live up to their press which is a pleasant surprise in this day of cookbooks! If you are from Texas, you need this book!! If you aren't from Texas, you'll love this book and wish you could celebrate right along with us!!!

"Texas Reflections" combines the nature photographs of Richard Reynolds with quotes from a number of different authors. As a whole, the book is a stirring celebration of the outdoors.

The book contains an interesting preface in which Reynolds discusses his approach to photography. The authors whose quotes accompany his photos include Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Marcus Aurelius, William Blake, Walt Whitman, Kahlil Gibran, and others.

In his photography, Reynolds has captured some great natural treasures: Capitol Peak in Palo Duro Canyon State Park, the Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge, Daingerfield State Park, and more. His photos are truly beautiful, and generally feature stunning interplay of light and color. Some of the most memorable images in the book include the surreal glow of light in cottonwood trees along Limpia Creek, a bronze-and-gold hued sunrise at South Padre Island, waters rushing over the rocks at McKinney Falls State Park, and much more. An excellent gift for those who revere the beauty of the natural world.

This book is a great resource if you live in Texas and want to learn about wildflowers. It has facts and it shows pictures of them all. If you would like to know about Texas wildflowers, then get this!

A companion volume to the marvellous "Scribes and Scholars", this book lists every piece of Latin literature that exists from antiquity, by author, and details on what exactly our knowledge of that text is based. I.e. what manuscripts exist, when did it become known after the fall of the Western empire, to what extent was the work known in the middle ages, and when was it rediscovered in the renaissance.

L.D.Reynolds as editor has assembled a team of scholars second to none, each a recognised authority in the world of manuscripts, such as M.D. Reeve, Michael Winterbottom, R.J. Tarrant, etc.

Inevitably the treatment varies. 15th century Italian copies are mentioned in passing, unless they are the main witness. The footnotes are very limited, but usually enough to take the reader further, and will repay careful reading.

The great value of the book is that it makes it possible to gain an overview, in detail, of *all* the transmission. Many will be shocked at how thin the thread is by which most of these works have survived. It also allows the reader, who perhaps is familiar with only a few texts, to learn about others. My own interest is the transmission of the text of the Latin Father Tertullian, rediscovered by Rhenanus and Gelenius in the 16th century; but I learned interesting things about other work by these humanists on the Notitia Digitatum, and a study of Gelenius' methods on the De Rebus Bellicis. In the normal course of events, I would never have come across these links.

The book is a substantial reference work, and covers only the Latin classics. The Greek classics are not included - a companion volume would seem highly desirable, so how about it OUP? - nor the works of the Christian Fathers in either language.

Anyone mad about manuscripts will find this book of interest. The only problem is the price ...

It's a real shame that this book is no longer in print. The premise of this story is that religious beliefs are the products of alien satelites following millenium long orbits. When these artifacts approach Earth, religion propers and civilization tends to decline. When they recede, skepticism and rationalism prevail and humanity advances. As the book opens, humans are at the apex of their most recent Enlightenment, but the satelite is, once again, approaching. Only, this time (with the aid of another species), we know it and have sent out a ship to destroy it.

Although the book seems to be anti-theistic from the start, it is actually more subtle and complex than that. As the destroyer approaches the artifact, the crew comes under the sway of religious conviction, developing new theologies and schimisming into heresies at a frightening pace. But is all religion bad? Is the artifact, in fact, merely an alien device, or is it, in fact, the voice of the divine? And, if it is the voice of the divine, are we better off with it or without it?

This is a complex and engrossing story. For those interested in theological fiction, I stongly recommend hunting down a copy for your personal library.
