Although raised in a religious environment, as a psychotherapist, I was trained in a secular one. Consequently, my understanding of healing was rather limited. After a friend lent me his copy of this book, I tossed it aside, eventually getting around to reading it. I now regret that I didn't do so earlier. I found it to be one of the most illuminative books written on healing. Kelsey presents a comprehensive view of the subject, from Hellenistic practices to contemporary ones. Although largely based upon Christian concepts (unfortunately overlooked by contempory mental health), Kelsey also weaves in material from other philosophic and academic traditions. While there are many quasi-spiritual books on the market today, most present half-baked notions of healing and do not even come close to what Kelsey has written. If you seek "feel-good" psychology, this book is not for you. However, if you want something with Spirit, scholasticism, and depth, you'll find it within these pages. Whether you are in the business of healing or not, this is one for the bookshelf.

The responsible existence within our environment equates to actually having an environment that one wishes to live in. Billy Proctor's story, or rather, chronicles of his existence (and family, relatives and friends) of off the West Coast of British Columbia, Canada and how it has changed over the last 50 years inspires one to start treating our environment with respect and courtesy.

It is a harsh, unforgiving and yet tranquil look upon what has been described as one of the most beautiful and diverse coastlines in the world. Once capable of supporting those who lived upon and around it, and used its bounty with skill. Technology, visitors and a lack of vision have poached upon it, to the brink of extinction of many of its species.

To love where you are, the majesty of your surroundings, and witness its potentially irreversible destruction.

It is a grand book about a grand place, that may be, shortly, changed forever.

A gem....great information for anyone working in the cath lab

The contents are very comprehensive and indeed ambitous. It compares and comments both exact and heuristic algorithimic methods in this discipline. Reasonably formal. Good start for those students who want an entire landscape of these scheduling techniques.

Anyone involved in historical or genealogical research in Rockbridge County should have this book! History of the early settlements, participation in Revolutionary and Civil Wars, and quite a bit of genealogical information is included in this book - along with a lot of other information. I have found it extremely helpful in my research of Rockbridge County.

Hot rodding and custom cars were coming of age in the early '50s, and for a few short years beginning in 1951, Hop Up magazine (sister magazine to Road & Track in the early days) was the first and probably best of the little, pocket-sized hot rod magazines. Original issues are highly sought after and tough to find.

This volume (a 6x9 book that's thick as a brick) contains every page of every issue of the first year of Hop Up magazine, and the material -- car features, how-tos, and even ads -- is pure gold. Wanna know what it was like in the '50s? This is the real deal. If you're into hot rods or customs of any kind, this book is essential reading, and Mark Morton deserves our thanks for making it happen....

Written with virtually no emotionalism in the traditional style of a journalist, this biographical account taken from Stanley's diary takes one on an unforgettable adventure of trial and suffering, and eventually utter joy in the success of his goal. This book is an epic adventure of truly brave men. Stanley presents his story with stoicism and a circumspection that seem to understate the raw excitement of this story.

This was a great adventure and mystery book....loved the detail. Always felt like I was right there. This book would have been a great movie also!

I love this book and you will, too! It is loaded with information presented in a consise, easily digested form. Not only are there outstanding tips for every room, but the author includes valuable websites for further assistance, i.e., selecting paint colors, or choosing a countertop, to name just two. No need to read cover to cover unless you want to, and there is no dense text--you can thumb through this book anywhere for instant advice from a decorating pro--and the many color photos are a visual feast for the eyes, as well! Outstanding job! I look forward to the author's next work!
