Though out of print and a bit dated (early 90's), still the best case for Christian concern about the environment I've seen. Campolo strikes the right balance between stewardship/care for God's creation and steering clear of the "red flags" of the New Age/paganist approach to the environment. (Does a better job of this than Al Gore in "Earth in the Balance"!) He should revise and re-issue the book for the new decade.

He starts us out withone cell and the keeps our mindeye focus through the process that makes us we. Easy to stay with this guy; he keeps it simply complex by throwing cool facts your MD would have to look up. Along with witty analagies that re-enforce the that people are best at nothihg but master of everything per small chaneges that gave us the right stuff. nice quik read prior to college Anat-Phys

This book is really an amazzing one. In this book the author tried to narrate the capabilities of human brains and its phenominal.

It is unfortunate that many of the other books in the Routledge Great Philosophers series do not follow the same pattern as Quinton's HUME, because this particular book is a model of what a brief introduction to a philosopher should be. Quinton offers short summaries of David Hume's life, his philosophical assumptions, and his views on causation, material things, the self, scepticism, morality and the passions, politics, and religion, with each summary followed by a list of relevant quotes from Hume's various works. Reading this book is an ideal way to orient oneself before engaging in a deeper study of Hume.

I've been reading at Mesmerism and Hypnosis for years and this is the best single volume yet. This one gives a very clear lineal history of the transition from Mesmerism to Hypnotism, listing WHO added/deleted/discovered WHAT to the process.

I think it would be most interesting to go back to the early practices and re-examine them for further use..the various practices did different things and had different uses!

At any rate, you needn't hesitate to buy this one if the historical subject is on interest to you. Very highly recommended. Nicely done.

Excellent resource for teaching children the basic steps of drawing. All the books in this series are simple to follow and allow children to explore their drawing skills. Children will be in awe at the pictures they can draw with the simple step by step instructions. Excellent for the budding artist to be.

My 6 year old daughter LOVES this book. I highly recommend this book for people of all ages. It is sort of like Waldo. There are interesting pictures like Waldo, and many things to find on each page. This book differs from Waldo in that it also contains information on the subject in the pictures.

There are many pictures to find hidden on each page. After my daughter found all the hidden pictures in the book, she then went back and read all the information. Most of the information is set up to look like comic characters with talking bubbles above their heads. I even enjoyed reading threw this book and learned a thing or two myself. In this book you can learn about Easter Island, Stonehenge, Emelia Earhart, the Bermuda triangle and so on. Very interesting!

One of the most horrifying aspects of this tale, a horror story, is the apparent blitheness with which these ordinary people entered into an enterprise that ultimately yielded them hundreds of years in prison.

It goes like this: you meet an old navy buddy for drinks and he tells you he's got a business proposition for you. He admits it's a little illegal, but notes too the chances of getting caught are slim. So it makes good business sense-low risk/reward ratio, opportunity galore, and anyway you've sort of been at loose ends since retiring from the navy. Heck, you've got to be bold and take some risks to get anywhere in this world.

Or it might go like this: you're a young man and you admire and respect your dad. Nothing unusual in that-he's your dad! He was in the navy and he wants you to follow in his footsteps, so you do. And he says he'll pay you good money for classified documents-sure it's a little risky, but if you want to be a Man you have to take a risk now and then. Or, you could live your life as a wimp. It's your choice. So that leads to the most bone-chilling scene in the horror story: Dad smirking and wise-cracking while his son, his own and only son, is gets life in prison. Well, 25 years, but to a 22-year-old, that's life.

Howard Blum did a lot of research for this book: countless interviews, reams of technical documents on law and espionage and naval procedure, letters. But it doesn't read like some legal tract or academic research project. It reads like a B movie script, tawdry and melodramatic, with much attention given to the day-to-day problems of international spies and their families: the alcoholic wife, the wayward children, the ... struggle for respect. And when it's over there is the melancholy realization that the alcoholic wife and the wayward children were the lucky ones, if you can call it that. They avoided the lure of the psychotic monster at the center of the drama. The son was next luckiest. I read that he got out on parole after 15 years.

The 1980s have been judged as an age of backstabbing greed and free-spending avarice where they with the most pricey toys win. The June, 1985 arrest of retired Navy chief warrant officer John A. Walker, Jr., his older brother, only son and close Navy friend Jerry Whitworth on federal espionage charges meshed perfectly with the era's predominantly materialistic values, especially after it was learned that in an incredible 17 years as a Soviet spy, Walker had earned and frivolously spent $1 million, his chief, if not sole motivation. Howard Blum's I Pledge Allegiance is an exhaustively researched and powerfully written chronicle of not only the rarefied, shadowy world of traitors and spies, but a disturbing critique of American social values and how all too easily they are warped to serve selfish if not highly dangerous ends. Walker and associates over the years had handed over tons of highly-classified naval communications material, which, in the eyes of many defense experts, enabled the Kremlin to seriously damage if not completely neutralize our submarine and surface force defense posture if it had so wished. Walker's spying was also believed by some to have led to the unprecedented elevation of former KGB director Yuri Andropov to Soviet leader in 1982 and Moscow's downing of Korean Airlines Flight 007 less than a year later. Blum's strength as an author rests in his extensive knowledge of defense, foreign policy and intelligence matters as well as naval history, regulations and communications. This and his considerable reporting skill, demonstrated in his interviews of Walker family and friends, whose various fears, resentments, psychic injuries and strongly corrosive personal and family problems are drawn out and carefully woven into a chronicle of, as the book's jacket had said, "an American dream gone mad," makes for exciting and informative reading, something even the best works of reportage have a hard time achieving. And, the most gripping thing of all is that every bit of it really happened.

I had a chance to meet the author of this book before I read it. This is a great read. The ministry he writes about was active for a long time in York. Even the author was aided by this ministry. I recommend highly.
