This book covers everything about benign breast disease. There are many books that cover breast cancer in detail, but few that describe the many benign conditions which cause just as much anxiety to women who find a new lump or problem with the breast.

With lots of colour photos, and illustrations, each chapter starts with a key points summary. If you want to be able to discuss your condition with your doctor from a more "informed" standpoint, this book is ideal and worth every cent of the price.

Professor Manlio Simonetti, as one of a great theologian in our age, tries to distinguish, first of all, some problematic terminologies(e.g. allegoria & allegorein, typology, tropology & Allegoria, etc.) which have caused so many theological problems and prejudices to theologians, especially, to Protestant world.
And explains us the specific usages of exegetical methods by the Patristic exegesis on the Holy Bible under prism of the historical experience of the Church.
Though isn't complete research for the exegetic, readers can feel the profound theologic and academic penetration of the author.

I have just finished reading Dave Hughes, "Big Indian Creek", for about the 10th time. If you are a fly fisherman like me, and one who likes to get out and hike and camp along rivers, this book is for you. Every time I read it I feel like I'm there with Hughes, doing all the things I enjoy. It's a pretty layed back book, but it never fails to conjur up dreams. It always makes me want to drop what I'm doing, and head out the door to enjoy the great out of doors. It will definetly get your mind wandering.

Most white people rarely think about racial discrimination except as something that happened "back then" "down south". We're (I write this as a white man) far more likely to whine about "reverse discrimination," about how unfair affirmative action is and how confusing PC speech has become (Are "they" black, African-Americans, people of color or *what* ?). We tend to think of black people three ways:

1) We see them as white people with extra pigmentation. We don't really notice any difference and blithely assume that they're "just like us".

2) We see them as gods and superheros, running faster, jumping higher, dancing better, and better endowed in various ways.

3) We demonize them--welfare mothers pumping out babies, gangstas, crack ho's & that junkie pulling a smash 'n' grab to feed his habit.

Rarely do we ever try to understand what it's like, growing up different. Langston Hughes, in this powerful little book, opens a window for us. Although aimed at children of all races, perhaps the people who benefit most from this work will be white "liberals" who think racism is horrible until an African-American family moves in down the block.

"Misery is when the taxi cab won't stop for your motoher and she says a bad word."

"Misery is when you first realize so many things bad have black in them, like black cats, black arts, blackball."

"Misery is when you go to the Department Store before Christmas and find out that Santa is a white man."

"Misery is when you start to help an old white lady across the street and she thinks you're trying to snatch her purse."

These, and a whole host of others, are poignantly illustrated by Arouni. The book is introduced by Jesse Jackson, who points out that some things are dated (society has evolved a bit since 1967), but that plenty of room for progress remains. Historical events, such as the presidential election of 2000, demonstrate that deep and systematic racism still pervades American life. This was the last work that Langston Hughes wrote. He died in 1967, while working on the manuscript.

Both my 13-year-old son and my 8-year-old daughter have found the book touching. Reading it with them has helped them to have a better understanding of what it might be like to be "different." I believe this book opens the way for genuine dialogue between people of different races, instead of maintaining projections and biases.

The presentation of this play has been a part of my family's holiday traditions for many years. This is one of Langston Hughes' most spiritual pieces. I ordered it for a friend who is a part of an annnual, dramatization of this text -- and he was speechless! Many communities know this text -- but few of us get to read the original. It gives a wonderful perspective on the Holy Birth and the Christian tradition. It is a family 'must have' for anyone who longs for the true meaning of Christmas, and who wants an African American version of the birth of Christ.

I was given this book to read in English class and I thought, "great, another boring novel." But I was blown away. It was quite possibly one of the books I've read. It had qualities of Forrest Gump as well as Saving Private Ryan. And a great metaphor of the train. I greatly suggest you read this book.

An incredibly vibrant combination of words and images. Excellent poetry choices that emphasize the exhuberant and the life-affirming in Hughes' poetry without ignoring the hardships he was so brilliant at expressing. The collages are a perfect counter-point to the words--bringing to life the feelings and thoughts expressed in the verses.

The Book of Rhythms is a wonderful book that teaches children how to create their own poems. It begins by teaching children how to create their own rhythm by drawing a pattern on a piece of paper. Then it goes on to describe some of the different rhythms you hear everyday, such as your own heartbeat. Hughes then teaches children how to vary their rhythms and how to put words to the rhythm the reader has created. Towards the end, the author tells you about all the different rhythms such as broken or unseen rhythms.
This book serves as a great source for teaching children how to compose their own poems. The author is very qualified to write on this subject, since he is such a renowned poet. The book is neatly organized with clear appropriate headings and helpful illustrations that allow the reader to visualize the author's point. The language is vivid and interesting, yet easy enough for even very young readers to understand and enjoy.
In conclusion, Hughes' Book of Rhythms is a great book introducing children to poetry composition. With interesting vocabulary and illustrations, it is enough to keep any reader's attention. This book serves as a great teaching tool for any elementary aged child.

It was one of the funniest books that I have ever read. After reading this book, I felt that I knew more about baseball than I did before. I thought the author knew a lot about kids and the way they play baseball when they are young.

I can't imagine an eight-year old more talented or beautiful than the young Laura Hughes. The rich textures and lovely colors of her illustrations are a delight to the eye, but the finest part of this elegantly constructed narrative is the clever, subtle way it tackles gender stereotypes in mid-90s America under the mask of 19th century Native American culture. Since this book, Laura Hughes has become a daring young artist, a prolific playwright, and a world-renowned webmistress, as well as a graceful and charismatic young woman; the seeds of her talent are apparent in this fine freshman effort.
