This book is so easy to approach that I have ever read. As a medical student or resident, I suggest that you must buy one like this to enhance you for understanding the use of antibiotics and some knowledge in infectious diseases. You can make a quick reference from this book and some helpful information also.

There is nothing better for a clinician than finding the answer to your question quickly. This handbook does just that and with accurate, up-to-date information. bruce thomas.

The need for the subject is enormous. We get so contributed by the book. We believe in respecting the human as a whole entity. The body reflects so much of our being that we need to understand and assess the meaning of the book. Let hope that an updated book will come soon. The conecction of mind and body reflects what is going on with the sociaty body and we need it very very much. Thank you.

When I first heard about this book from a friend, I thought that it was most likely 'Junk Science'. I was very happy to find that it is truly a valuable book. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who is facing a serious illness. I think it is important to note that this book is not an alternative medicine philosophy book. I prefer to base my scientific beliefs on objective evidence

Levenson's critique of the unwarranted assumptions about theHebrew Bible ("Old" Testament) is stunningly powerful andwill open the eyes and minds of all of us who are Christians engagedin serious study of the scriptures. Provocative in concept but elegant in prose, the book shifts the Jewish/Christian dialogue about the Bible to an entirely new and different framework. Levenson's incisive and unblinking exposure of what are essentially anti-semitic currents flowing through much of what has been imagined as objective, critical scholarship is especially powerful and important. His scholarship and erudition are combined with a rare and precious passion for understanding. The importance of this unassuming-looking book cannot be overestimated.

Jon D. Levenson's collection of essays on the impact of historical-critical Bible study on religious thought & the secular academy is compelling and provocative throughout. A few of the questions that Levenson introduces: 1) Is the critical method of modern Bible study something new, or has it existed in Jewish and Christian scholarship for many centuries? 2) Does the academic study of the Bible really put Jews and Christians on even-footing for discussing Scripture's meaning? 3) Why have Jews never created a "Biblical Theology"? 4) What does the University stand to lose by seeing Scripture only through the lens of diachronic, historical scholarship? Levenson is a professor of Hebrew Bible at Harvard University, and is well known for his remarkable insight and clarity of thought, as well as for his absolutely unique sense of humor. A great read for the scholar & the simply curious!

The strongest point of this book is the quality of its color plates--which of course makes or breaks an art book. Fortunately, the prints in this book are very rich and most images are full page. The accompanying text is also very thorough, informative, and interesting. My only complaint is that this book doesn't present much of the posters for which Toulouse-Lautrec is perhaps most famous; however, it does cover much of his other work. In that sense, I got to learn a lot about the body of this artist's work outside of the usual cliche of Toulouse-Lautrec. I would recommend this book for any art library.

"Being able to show people in simple, real moments of their lives was one of Henri's greatest talents", p 18

The young reader will learn about Henri's being born into a rich family, his having broken both of his legs in his early teenage years resulting in his small stature, and his years in Paris painting the life with which he came in contact.

Toulouse-Lautrec's painting of lively scenes of the theaters, dance halls and circuses makes this a perfect choice for young children. His Moulin Rouge advertisement prints are easy to read, uncluttered and therefore grab the young reader's attention. The young are frequently in motion. As a result they will appreciate Toulouse-Lautrec's ability to capture a scene in mid motion. The young reader will be drawn in by Henri's choice of brilliant colors and will have fun finding Henri in some of his paintings.

Henri's portrait of van Gogh is breathtaking. He van Gogh'd van Gogh. He does honor to the painter by mimicking van Gogh's style.

Venezia's illustrations are humorous. His narrative is delightfully entertaining. His approach brings the artist within reach of the young. His illustration of the Parisian friends that Henri may have introduced to his parent's is jokingly exaggerated.

The size of the book is perfect for smaller hands. It enables the young to have art within their grasp. Venezia gives the locations of the paintings and as result if the child lives near one of the museums or will be near one on vacation, she/he would be able to see the original.

This is the 18th in Venezia's "Getting to know the World's Greatest Artist" series. He also has similar series on composers. Venezia's back cover illustrations tie back to the subject. "Greatly influenced by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Mike also tries to capture the private moments ...".

The price of the book is well worth paying. The book contains the following: Toulouse-Lautrec's Paintings (13) and Prints (4), Photos of Toulouse-Lautrec - 2, Venezia's Illustrations - 6, Others' paintings/prints - 3.

Fear not. Dive in. This is the sort of book one keeps around for decades.

Books sometimes are like children's clothes - they have to be grown into. This is one of them.

Look for yourself. Avoid others' conclusions. Look for yourself. Like a grown up.

THE HIERARCHY OF HEAVEN AND EARTH : A New Diagram of Man in the Universe. By D. E. Harding. With an Introduction by C. S. Lewis. 268 pp. Gainesville : University Presses of Florida, 1979 (originally published by Faber and Faber, London, 1952).

The present book has been reprinted a number of times, and I suppose all Douglas Harding fans have at some point acquired a copy of it. After all, Harding Sensei's fantastically important discovery of the spiritual technique of "reversing the arrow of attention" places him squarely in the forefront of the world's spiritual masters, and if a figure such as Bankei can be considered one of Japan's three greatest Zen Masters (the other two being Dogen and Hakuin), I see nothing wrong in considering Douglas Harding as, in a sense, Britain's greatest 'Zen' Master.

Given this, everything Harding Sensei writes ought to be worth reading. Unfortunately, although this was certainly the case with the ORIGINAL manuscript of 'Hierarchy of Heaven and Earth,' the present 'popular' edition of it was so severly cut by Harding himself for publication as to leave it, though still a philosophic masterpiece, impenetrably obscure, and, so far as I am aware, very few readers actually succeed in making their way through the book.

With pretty well all of the great mass of examples and illustrations found in the original extensively annotated 650 folio-sized pages of the manuscript having been cut, the shortened version becomes just too difficult for most folks to follow. Readers who are as brainy as C. S. Lewis should have no trouble, but unfortunately most of us aren't.

Those who would like to read what Harding actually wrote, the original and uncut version of 'Hierarchy of Heaven and Earth,' will have to find the sumptuous facsimile of Harding's typewritten manuscript. At the urging of his colleagues and friends, this was published in a limited edition of 300 numbered copies by The Shollond Trust, London, in 1998. It can be found by searching the web, and a few copies may still be available. Those who have read it have greatly enjoyed it, and have found it to be far more intelligible than the shortened version.

Newcomers to Harding would be far better off starting with his other books, particularly his classic 'On Having No Head : Zen and the Rediscovery of the Obvious' - that is if they are lucky enough to be able to find a copy. It's a short book which gives the quintessence of Harding's approach in just 81 pages, and it provides an excellent foundation for approaching the Master's later books. In fact, it may turn out to be the only Harding book you will ever need.

I am not a huge fan of old "nursery rhyme" type poetry, but this book caught my eye and my 3 yr old boys and I love it! The illustrations are simply amazing as each page unfolds from 2 children visiting an eccentric, storytelling neighbor to the children becoming the owl and pussycat. My boys immediately noticed the firepole in the man's house among other curiosities. As the children enjoy a snack and the man reads the poem, the floor turns to water and the window seat to a pea green boat. The bespeckled little boy becomes an owl and girl becomes a cat. The poem is read a second time with them as the main characters and the illustrations cleary 'telling' the story. Just as fluidly, the children return to human form and their mothers call them for dinner as the poem winds down. This book would certainly be a wonderful addition to a classic nursery rhymes collection.

If you're a fan of Hilary Knight's artwork (and if you're not, you ought to be), you will definitely want this book. Those who are only familiar with Knight's wonderful pen and ink drawings for Eloise and Mrs. Piggle Wiggle will be amazed at the beauty of his full color illustrations. This book is good enough for either your child's/nephew's/niece's bookshelf, or (in my case) your own. The illustrations of a young boy and girl slowly becoming part of the tale are beautifully rendered. I am glad to see so many Knight books on the market again, and hope that i will get to see some more.

A treasured trip down memory lane when the country was crossed with roads instead of major freeways and the towns didn't all look alike! The writing is excellent and the road maps used to illustratate the text remind us of better days in auto travel and also in advertising.

I collect UK Ordnance Survey maps and this book tempts me to collect some US roads maps. The quality of the pictures is wonderfull and the commentary is excellent. If you like this you should like "Map Cover Art" by John Paddy Brown about OS map covers. Now out of print apparently but amazon will try and look for you . Some of the covers from the 20's are very similar to those in the UK.

This is some really good stuff! The part about the extra-Calvinisticum was exceptionally helpful! I plan to buy copies for all of my family this Christmas!

I thought this was one of the best fundamental theology books I have read. The author has a real grasp of the theological tradition and gives fresh insight into doing theology today. I enjoyed the fact that he tackles some traditional doctrines (Trinity, Eucharist/Communion) in some refreshing ways. I have read it twice now!

Dr. Mack Douglas was one of the top motivational speakers during the late 60's and through the early 90's.

I bought this book over 20 years ago. One of Dr. Douglas's popular phrases is: 'the greatest use of life is to so live your live so the use of your life will outlive your live.' Wow! Talk about purpose!

Mack was a powerful speaker and an equally powerful writer. His words will excite and motivate you.

Highly recommend for allserious achievers.

The first time I ever heard of Dr. Mack Douglas was in 1975 at a business seminar & rally for Seyforth Labs, Inc. Dr. Douglas was the keynote speaker. I bought this book and several tapes by Dr. Douglas and have been a fan ever since. Dr. Douglas mixes humor with content. I highly recommend this book and any tapes by Dr. Douglas that you can get your hands on. He was one of the best.
