Cool! I loved this book! Smart, sexy, funny. This author always lands on my "keeper" shelf

Damn, I love this book more every time I read it. Complex writing, post-millenial in scope and in language. I can only imagine where Gancarski will go from here....

Gancarski's book came highly recommended to me, and I opened it with a certain skepticism; after all, the stories of his utter debauchery are legend throughout the Washington area. Nonetheless, I found that The Ganc approached his subject matter with the blistering prose and searing insight of Henry Miller. There are times, however, when he gets beyond irony, hipness, and love of language to write pieces that are at once powerful and beguiling.

THIS BOOK IS VERY AWESOME! I RECCOMEND THIS BOOK FOR EVERY CHRISTIAN. VICTORY IS OURS IN THE NAME OF JESUS!

THIS BOOK IS THE BOMB. GOD TRULY USED DR EVANS IN THIS BOOK. WHILE DEPLOYED TO BOSNIA I TAUGHT A BIBLE STUDY ON THIS BOOK AND IT WENT VERY WELL. EVERYBODY WANTED THIS BOOK AFTER THE STUDY. THIS IS A MUST READ FOR EVERY CHRISTIAN. YOU CAN REALLY EXPERIENCE THE VICTORIOUS CHRISTIAN LIFE IF YOU APPLY THE PRINCIPLES IN THIS BOOK.

This is the sort of book that somehow gives you an instant vacation to another time and place when you sit down with it. I am basing an art show somewhat loosely on the concept of being an artist-discoverer in a new land as a result of having spent time with this book. I found it to be truly inspiring!

We just got this delievered today. What a BEAUTIFUL book! I worked in a used bookstore for four years and have seen a lot of art and photography "coffee table" type books. I have seen few that can rival this for exquisite illustrations. If you or anyone you know has an interest in science history, exploration, biological sciences, or art, this book is a must have. Great diversity of flora and fauna depicted. A breathtaking combination of text and illustration. I originally purchased this for my two oldest boys (ages 13 & 12) for Xmas, but they will need to wait in line until I am done reading and looking at it. This is a wonderful book well worth the price.

This book is an excellent resource if you're looking to do any type of research, it would also be perfect to use as a ready reference tool for identiying certain species, but it is written in a dictionary type of style so it is not an incredible easy read.

Before I got this book, I didn't know about pramates at all. Because I didn't have much interest to primates. And now I'm interested in primates, and want to know more. On this book, there're many photos and stories about primates. You can enjoy primates world with this book.

An excellent introduction to the war we don't talk about, providing an overview, biographies of principal characters, reprints of important historical documents, and an annotated bibliography. In an age when most history is learned through movies (and WWII seems more "real" than Vietnam)the student with a real desire to understand the Vietnam conflict couldn't find a better place to start.

Dr. Edmonds displays a vast knowledge of the Vietnam War both in the classroom and in print. He is excited about this topic and what he teaches. His theories are based on fact, not fiction, and are well supported. The book displays this knowledge. He talks about cause and effect relationships, propaganda, the history of Vietnam, and the people. He talks about their customs, culture, and how they relate to other nations. It is well-written and easy to understand. The content is well explained, easy to follow, and connective. Everyone who shows an interest in the Vietnam War should read this book. If possible, talk to the professor himself as well. The knowledge one gains from him, however well-educated, will surprise you.

Anthony DeMello actually was able to bring eastern mysticism and methods of meditation, into the Vatican and teach it to the jesuits! If you know anything about catholic hirarchy, that is quiet a feet. But once you read this, one of my favorots, or other books by Fr. DeMello you'll see that what he says and teaches is so pure, innocent, true, relevant, and REAL, that you see why he recieved such a wide audiance. I loved working the exercises in his book. Not from a Catholic point of view, but from a Meditatiors position. I read his books often when I need to refocus. Enjoy :-)

Anthony DeMello is superb in his manor of helping the reader find the lost,confused and at times sad individual and transporting him or her to a place of peace and tranquility. Wellsprings offers many short medition exercises. I really enjoy the contempletive peacefulness that is awakened with each essay that is SLOWLY read and concentrated upon. I take with me everywhere I go. Even though I have only owned it for a short time, it has the appearence of being decades old. I really have made it looked LOVED. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have and still do

Even though I've never been to New Rochelle, I loved it! I read the whole book in one day. I was blessed to grow up across the street from Tony, Jackie and their three sons. Tony and Jackie were like my second set of parents. I was always welcome in their home and there was always great conversation, hearty laughter and great food. In fact, I am embarrassed to admit that I once ate twelve or Rosina's Pizza Frita at one sitting. It was fascinating learning about the struggles and joys of the immigrants from Southern Italy. Most importantly, it gave me great insight into one of the best men I have ever know, Tony D'Ermes!

This is Mr. D'Ermes first book about growing up Italian in West New Rochelle, New York in the 1930's, 1940's and 1950's. With exacting recall and precise detail, D'Ermes paints exciting pictures of his childhood as a first generation American born to Immigrants from Southern Italy. Told with humor and compassion, he portrays their hopes and dreams alongside their everyday struggles to learn a new language, new customs, and their frequent painful experiences with housing, jobs and government regulations. The story is told from the viewpoint of the D'Ermes family, but it is easily an "everyman" story of typical immigrant families of the period.

With rich detail, D'Ermes illustrates how the first generation children -- American schooled and street smart -- frequently helped their parents by reading and interpreting official documents, acting as translators with city and school officials, and helping them avoid immigrant scams and rip-offs.

The book details the primary institutions used by the Italian community to acclimate to this new culture and society, focusing on the Catholic Church, the New Rochelle School System and the Feeney Park Boys Club and Library.

Many Italian immigrants brought with them superstitious customs from the peasant countryside that can only be described as the "occult." Mr. D'Ermes describes the application of these occult practices to treat all manner of illnesses and ailments. Although quaint today, D'Ermes describes the prevalent fear of cusrses that others might inflict on your family and the application of chants, incantations, potions and charms that warded them off.

Of course no book of this kind would be complete without a full discussion of the foods and recipes that were used in his house and in many Italian homes, including Christmas and Easter feasts when special "religious" foods were prepared.

Mr. D'Ermes concludes with the values he learned in West New Rochelle and in the Boys Club that have served him well for the past 60 years as a business and corporate executive.

You don't have to be Italian to thoroughly enjoy this delicious slice of New York history from the viewpoint of a boy growing up in West New Rochelle.

Tony is solid. Here he paints the big picture for all of life. This book draws some information from his other writings. This Kingdom Agenda is deep and a total new way of thinking. It is as usual with Tony, biblically correct.

If you are having problems in your life, then read this book. It covers a wide range of subjects. In fact I'm going to write Tony Evans and let him know what a impact that the book made in my family.
