Good book.. All pictures of all Magritte's works. good coffee table book.

I have read I would imagine some four to five thousand fantasy and SF books, and quite a number of others besides, and yet this book - the final novel of a series of three (Pelmen the Powershaper) is one that I simply return to again and again - rereading is like revisiting and old good freind.

The Characters are very real, the plot amazing, the combination of both is enchanting. Picking up the book you just cannot let it down. The humour that Don Huges shows is masterful, and the twists and turns of it leave you amazed.

I would suggest the book to Fantasy and Non-Fantasy readers alike - it would leave anyone with a wonderful feeling - GARANTEED!

Since Amazon didn't provide an editorial review, here's the description from the back of the book to help you decide if this book is for you: "FORBIDDEN FRUIT ... falling for Cade was taboo, out of the question. He was considered Jessica Hartman's brother, for goodness' sake. Thought they'd never shared their childhood, she'd idolized the renegade from afar. But now her father was gone, leaving maddening instructions in his will. In order to inherit anything at all, she and Cade had to work at Jessica Cosmetics for six months to get the company back on its feet. Like it or not, Jessica would have to confront the forbidden feelings Cade ignited in her." Part of the WOMEN WHO DARE series

With his dark gaze and daredevil looks, private eye Jack Sloan was tough to get along with, tough to get to know, but he was the best at doing a dirty job. When his partner asked him to train his niece, Jack took one look at Ashley Rogers and saw trouble in her teal-blue eyes! How was he going to get any surveillance done when he couldn't take his eyes off her?

This book is a good textbook for beginners and a good review/reference for more experienced PLC users. Its explanation of the new IEC 61131-3 programming languages is helpful, since many of us in the US have never dealt with anything other than Ladder Logic. For examples that require reference to a particular PLC, the book most often refers to Allen Bradly PLC5 and Siemens Simatic S7 series.

Despite its somewhat misleading title, this is an excellent book for all kinds of people, gay, lesbian, or straight, who are involved in estate planning and settlement. The examples are useful and the information is presented clearly. Excellent resource for a difficult task.

...Want a break from poetry that is "sophisticated," "domestic" or "Lacanian"? This is it! It's been a favorite of mine for ten years, restorative on every read. It bears the stamp of green, love, a garden of great poems (Keats, Neruda, "Anonymous" etc.) fresh as the day they were written. This vivid new cover sort of sums up the feeling.

Given the monumental scope of the topic, Old makes the history of preaching interesting and managable. The book is as much a history of the use of the bible in church as it is a history of preaching. His methodology is classic. He takes the reader from Mt. Sinai through the prophets into the earliest days of the Christian Church. He traces the various kinds of preaching through the patristic era in both East and West. These two volumes should be mandatory reading in every seminary. As an Eastern Orthodox Priest, I found the first two volumes of this series extremely helpful and informative.

Readers who want to fly high with theories might be disappointed (this book never once mentions feminism, postcolonial or cultural studies, as such)... but should they really? No theory can convince people without the basis of sound technical analysis of concrete examples. Literary theorists have to demonstrate, in a down-to-earth way, how the texts they deal with are constructed under particular intentions. Surely, a toolbox for building the intermediary ladder is necessary in the process; this book succeeds in providing us with one, and a very useful one indeed.
George Hughes does an excellent job of introducing us to the very basic (but often neglected) skills in looking at and analyzing literary texts, especially novels. His style manages to be intelligent and foolproof at the same time, relaxed but never pedestrian. His arguments are supported by an abundance of examples, some from celebrated texts, others from those we have heard of somewhere but were too lazy to read actually. (One of the virtues of this book is that it makes such texts look really attractive.) The way he explains terms and ideas is concise and to the point. (As a non-Western student, I found the section on free indirect discourse particularly helpful: it presents the elusive concept in an admirably transparent way.)
This book is a wonderful companion for traveling light in the world of literary texts - or, when it comes to that, 'the world as text' (though the author emphasizes that this book focuses on the analysis of novels). Don't be put off by the seemingly unexciting title.
