Easy to follow recipies for a variety of mediterranean meals, great for beginners, and with wonderful flavors. Many of the dishes have flavors and combinations that are very different from standard American and non-Mediterranean fare, but most people will adapt easily and enjoy the difference. All recipies include full color pictures, with pictures of all ingredients also. Most ingredients are simple and available in common grocery stores. Best of all, we had little trouble reproducing the look and flavors of the recipies as they were pictured and described in the book. It's one of the few cookbooks that produces results as good as they lead you to expect.

I have never found such a wonderful collection of activities, poems, and short stories! "The Gathering" is a Rainy Day Blues Buster with such stories as " A Toad In The Commode" or "Valentine Blues: From the Nine-Year-Old Boy". You will learn a lot from "Mother's Kitten", "The Scarecrow", "Help for Holly" and "Jill, Jill, Jill Would You Please Be Still?". This book can help children see other people through their hearts and not just their eyes. I would recommend this book to parents, baby sitters, and those who love them. Teachers,this would be great to read to your classes. Counselors, you could use it too...and it has fantastic pictures.

this book is a classic. it is written by 2 nobel laureates in a readable style. the key principles are clearly conveyed and illustrated with many relevant examples from the literature of the period. a must read for any organic chemist!

Anyone who is interested in contemporary academic moral theory should own this book. The Doctrine of Double Effect states that it may be morally permissible to do something harmful to some people, in order to secure a greater good for others, but only if the foreseeable harm is unintended (i.e., you could think of it as a "side effect" of the action). For example, some draw a distinction in warfare between strategic bombing (in which military installations, factories, bridges and the like are targeted) and terror bombing (in which civilians, hospitals, schools and the like are targeted). As bombs often hit things that aren't targets, strategic bombers can foresee that they will hit some kindergartens and private homes. Yet there seems to be a moral difference between those who kill civilians in war as a side effect of carrying on their warfare, and those who intend the deaths of these civilians, as a necessary means to what they hope to accomplish.

This volume contains 19 essays, some of which defend and some of which criticize the doctrine. Paul Woodward has done an excellent job of selecting the most important essays on this subject, which is one that is central to contemporary moral philosophy.

LOVE AND DEATH IN NEW ORLEANS . . .

"I am conscious they are only trivial," wrote Lafcadio Hearn from New Orleans in 1880 to his friend H. E. Krehbiel, speaking of the weird little sketches he was publishing from time to time in the columns of the Daily Item, the New Orleans newspaper which first gave him employment in the city where he spent the ten years from 1877 to 1887. "But I fancy," he goes an, "that the idea of the fantastics is artistic. They are my impressions of the strange life of New Orleans. They are dreams of a tropical city. There is one twin idea running through them all - Love and Death. And these figures embody the story of life here, as it impresses me."

Hoff's skill as a photographer is shown plainly throughout this book. He was known for using very little film, which increases an objective appreciation of his skill; he understood boxing and could anticipate moments of significance and arrange them to create technically superb photographs, without making dozens of pictures. The boxers depicted in this volume are now historical figures, but so are these photographers, of which Hoff is perhaps the best example. Live television coverage has changed the nature of boxing photography irrecoverably since the days when Hoff was photographing the sport. This volume is important as a historical document, then, from two angles - firstly as a record of what many perceive as the golden age of boxing, but also as an archive of amazing photography skills which are now impossible for photographers to learn, let alone master. A must for fans of both serious photography and boxing. J B-W

Could not put this book down. Read in one day. I felt the fear and grasped the importance of this hour in history. If it were not for men like Ellis M. Woodward our freedom would not exist. These men paid the highest price for all of us.

This book is easy to read, and full of real-life examples. It is not one of those self-help books filled with psychobabble. You feel the authours have been where you are, and they care about your success. A small book that packs a lot of punch. The exercises at the end of each chapter help the reader apply the concepts to his or her life. It is accessible and usable. Highly recommended.
