This book is the most important book for all leaders of the Conservative movement, from synagoguge board members to JTS professors. It accurately depicts the problems of the Conservative movement, but instead of leaving it at that, outlines numerous suggestions to make the Conservative Movement the authentic and halachic movement that it claims to be and has the potential to be.

A MUST READ!

Few scholars can write with ease; and even fewer write without verbosity and pomposity. Professor Bluestone's book on Chicago's development is a source of invaluable information presented in a literary fashion. His scope is wide ranging, but not shallow in any respect. He deals with philosophy, history, personalities, the influence of men and movements upon each other in the city where 20th century architecture was born. Whether you are a scholar, an architect or just a buff, this is a book that offers information, knowledge and wisdom.

This book have excellents concepts about the construction industry. I found a lot of examples like cost control systems, construction codes, change orders and budgets. The most important thing is how the book tide all this concepts and give you an idea of the entire situation

Written by a clinical psychologist at the Harvard Medical School (Englar) and a psychologist who writes on the behavioral sciences for the New York Times (Goleman). This remarkably thorough handbook provides advice on many aspects of therapy. It covers how to decide whether you need therapy, how to find the right therapist, what to realistically expect out of therapy, how to get the most out of therapy, and how to tell when therapy isn't working.

A unique strength of the book is its lengthy discussion of various types of pathology and how they are generally treated. For each type of pathology, such as anxiety disorders, eating disorders, schizophrenia, depression, substance abuse, alcoholism, somatoform disorders, and so forth, the authors discuss (1) the signs to look for, (2) variations and complications, (3) what therapists recommend, and (4) what you should know about therapy (for that disorder). The book also includes a chapter on psychiatric drugs and appendixes that list self-help groups, therapist referral sources, and other sources of information on mental health care.

I keep this book around all the time, and refer to it as need. Just as the book states, it's for the consumer and very reader friendly.

Anyone working in the logistics and delivery field must read this book and keep it in your library. The book is all-inclusive so you don't need lots of others. This may help justify the high price.

This book was one of the finest pieces of literature on such a complex and important topic.

This 2001 collection of essays from 22 living theologians is a celebration of the 70th birthday of a pastoral human being who is a renowned transcontinental scholar of our times. It is obvious that Fr. O'Collins' deep faith in Jesus Christ has personally touched each writer as they participate in his enthusiastic search for truth. The book is a theological treasure that will find a warm welcome in global circles. While I did not receive any new insights, the work tied together numerous concepts that are fundamental to Christian theology. I would highly recommend this "Festschrift" for Adult Lifelong Learning groups as well as for College courses. For all who engage in "faith seeking understanding," it treats many topics that provide stimulating reflection and discussion. It leaves one immersed in an experience of a lived community of believers. Happy Birthday, Gerry!

Transposed to England, with a few specifically Polish references removed, this is one of Witkacy's easiest and most entertaining plays. Like most of his best work, it's a lunatic parody; unlike some, it parodies only one genre, the "country house" drama of conflicts and secrets within a well-to-do family. Thus much of the dialogue takes the form of debates, with the mother's ghost, over tea and toast, over who her various lovers were and what they and her husband may or may not have done to her. The Geroulds' translation is as fluent as always, and there is a long and very fine introduction. An extra and unexpected bonus in this edition is the inclusion of several of the author's paintings and drawings, quite a few in colour. Like the play (and like most of the rest of Witkacy's work), they are grotesque, downright peculiar, and well worth a look.

The Regents exams are a series of subject-specific proficiency tests that are becoming mandatory for all New York state high school students by the year 2000. Since students will soon need to pass these tests to graduate, these annually updated guides will be of great help. Each book has been reviewed by a panel of 10 New York State high school teachers.
