This book is really easy to read. Each chapter tells part of a story, reviews the story and then asks the reader to journal the different emotions they felt throughout the pregnancy, the labour, and the loss. This book will really help the reader to remember what happened and to express their feelings through journalling.

*Note* This book is written from a Christian perspective but other than that I really recommend it.

I received a copy of this book from a Physician after suffering two miscarriages. It helped me to heal by hearing about others losses and how to recover and go on. It is a quick read. The author encourages the reader to keep a journal as a part of your recovery and healing. Journal topics are given at the end of each chapter. I have been trying to locate a copy for years and found out it was reprinted in 1998 under a different title. The new title is Silent Cradle: Helping and Understanding in the Time of Pregnancy Loss, the new Publisher is Light and Life Communications. Hopefully this will help others track down this useful book.

The fact that I read this book ten years ago but I am searching to find a copy of it now is a testimony in itself to the genuine comfort and support "Good Mourning" provided. No other book, no other counselor, no other family member offered the complete understanding and first-person knowledge that this author did. A second perspective from the author's sister confirmed to all mothers who have lost a baby that their feelings are normal.
If you, or anyone you know has lost a baby, this book is a must.
Especially perfect for those who can't express their concern to a mother in mourning.

I just bought this book and have had a hard time putting it down. The characters were believable. Luke and Tish have a very passionate relationship that makes your pulse race. My only dissapoinment is that I have finished the book. It's a story you want to go on and on. I now have to find out if all of Faye Adam's books are this good.

Thank-you for writing a story I couldn't put down. It has been a while since I have been so intrigued with a series of books. I hope this is not the last of them.

I am so disappointed...that i finished the book..in went out and got all of the title by this author. You mean to tell me there are only four? I couldn't put any of them down. great story telling up there with J. Lindsey. please write some more!!

An interesting look at good and evil, and the concept of gods. Morrow has a unique way with words.

This outstanding young writer has truly hit upon a unique and inspiring view of the universe, God, and man's place and reason for being. I will never look at life the same! A gifted writer for the 21st century reader.

Inspiring! Man Morrow is a master story teller! The Greys is a poignant reminder that each of us has an obligation to ourselves to do something meaningful with our lives. -MB

Anyone in a position of leadership who wants to learn how to have the possession of leadership must read this book. Morrow boils down the volumes of leadership principals into simple and practical how to things you can do to move from running an organization to leading an organization. Church, business and government examples and applications are given in a must-read/easy-read format. Survey tools at the back of the book enables self analysis of leadership skills. Use this book in training yourself and others in basic servant leadership. Useful for personal or academic servant leadership development applications.

This book is well written and can easily be adapted to be used as a tool to help groups or individuals learn to evaluate their own leadership style as well as develop the leader inside. The examples were pertinent and reflective of a view of leadership, not for self-serving purposes, but to serve the needs of others.

I just finished this book and it is perfect for anyone who is in a leadership position or wants to be in one... in virutally any organization. The concept of "service" and "leadership" taken together in this book in a unique way help emerging and existing leaders to be the best they can be. This book is a quick read with lots of examples that help people relate to their own situations. No excuse for not reading this one!

This pictorial book was to coincide with the release of the epic movie based on the classic memoir of Austrian mountaineer Heinrich Harrer. The book contains scripts, location stills of Tibet, and hundreds of photo stills from the making and the movie itself. Knowing that due to the Chinese opposition parts of the scenes from the movie were actually shot in South America, I was somehow disappointed. But the pictorial still adds grciously to my Tibet collection.

The book is very....real.The author described everything in great detail.Brad Pitt's character was also very realistic in how the author projected him.Also has many cool facts on Tibet(customs ang religion),the many characters had very interesting personalities.Brad Pitt's character had alot of character,the way the author projected.Good book.Read it.

I found Richard Graves English translation to be excellent. One can almost feel the cold nights and the pain of Harrer's trek up from India to Lhasa. His appreciation of the customs and desire to learn from them is something much needed today as Americans try to understand Tibet. This is a good book to begin with in gaining background. He is not a theologian or historian but gives a much needed glimpse of Tibet fifty years ago. Knowing the past makes the future brighter.

One of the first SF books I ever read, led to thousands of others. Similar to Escape to Witch Mountain but in a distant, possible future; two special siblings journey to find their roots as humanity's new hope, the next step in our evolution.

I read this book when I was about 10, and it still haunts me. Rabbit and his sister, their bravery, their travels through a post-apocalyptic world, and their eventual rescue and revelations were the first time that I ever found myself lost in a book. I recommend it for any kid who can read!

This book had a lot of action then I don't know what happened near the end. It sort of fell off a cliff and hit rock bottom pretty fast. I would still recommened it to people who love the uspense of reading a good mystery novel, though. Also if your intrested in gold mining history this book touches on that subject also. All in all it was a good book.

I really liked this book, it was an exciting book. It kept me interested in it. It's about a girl that tries to find out why her mother died. She goes all the way to Califonia to find out what happened to her. While she is there she finnaly meets the guy she had been writing letters to and talking to on the phone. Read the story to find out what else happens.

I just finished reading this (my regards to the King County Library!) - I'm surprised it is out of print. Basically, the author (who, evidently, did his homework) goes through the calendar year and highlights "famous, infamous and unconventional" deaths. Descriptions range from being very brief to being three pages in length, and always include the place of death (along with, obviously, the date). Also included in several cases are the last words. It all amounts to a very entertaining read - I imagine it would have value as a reference book, because an index is included in the back. My only complaint was the occasional injecting of said author's political opinions, which draw away from the purpose of the book at times. But that's bound to happen in any writing.

A highly entertaining read that will both amuse and inform you, this book discusses the demise of famous and fascinating people, as well as the unusual circumstances involved in the demise of non-famous people. The format is organized by calendar day, who died that day, how, with fascinating facts about the famous that will peak your curiousity and make you want to learn more. I am disappointed to see the book is out of print as it is a favorite of mine. Read it if you can!

The only reason, and it is indeed a sad reason, that this long forgotten novel has come back into print is because it has a (slight) connection with Tolkien, one of this century's most popular writers. I say sad because it aptly displays how a fine writer of children stories can write a really good tale but remain obscure. Had Tolkien not read him, although it would have quite possibly change the course of modern literature because he would not think of the hobbits as halfings (well, he might, but he said this was their source) and create them as a viable race in Middle-earth.

As for the book itself? It is a fun, light read appropriate for children about ten or so. There is some violence in the end which may be rather frightening to young children, but nowadays they see worst on the television, and the violence is not real explicity. E. A. Wyke-Smith incorporates the Arthurian myth of the land across the river, which Tolkien did not like. Shame-facedly, my aquaintance with the Arthurian cycle lies much closer to dimly knowing as opposed to being an expert thereon.

One thing that marks this book is Wyke-Smith's assimilation of various children's traditions into a cohesiave whole. The Flying Dutchman, that mythical ghost ship, is here, and witches and an ogre are present as well. One interesting little facet are the children that are kept there (in a sort of schooling organization) are taken because they are superfluous children. I think it is for the regulation of superfluous children. I do not have my book with me, so I cannot say for sure. The most memorable character for was Golithos, an ogre who lived off poorly grown cabbage and was a 'reformed' ogre. His struggle with his reformation proves quite humourous and, for me, is one of the best moments that children's literature has to offer.

As for it's relation to Tolkien, this publication will only be of interested to Tolkien scholars and fans, and probably only they will search this book out because of it's influence on THE HOBBIT. It's principle influence were the Snergs themselves, who were quite like Hobbits in height and social customs, although they do have a king. It's a real shame that the only reason this book will be read is because of Tolkien, for it is a quite good children's book in and of itself.

The question remains, however: how other many worthwhile pieces of literature have escaped the popular canon and sank into the dusty obscurities of time? Who knows how long this will survive. It may interest you to know that Homer wrote a third book which was a comedy and Aristotle wrote a book about comedy and both are now lost. Very tragic. Don't let it happen to this book, because it's a charmer.

I received "The Marvellous Land of Snergs" as a gift and reluctantly read it. I postponed getting to the 'meat' of the story by reading the introduction, secretly hoping to be bored and providing an excuse to put it down. I was captured within minutes and couldn't wait to begin the adventure. The chapters are short and decoratively written providing the reader a minds view of the landscape and many personalities the main characters, Joe and Sylvia, encounter on their travels. Joe and Sylvia provided a link with traditional fiction that boosted my enthusiasm for devouring this book. A book I will read to my children!

There are apparently two versions floating around (from the same edition and same printing) with different answer keys in the back for some of the more difficult problems.

Otherwise, this is the standard textbook for game theory for political science. I'm inspired to read Schelling!

This book is an excellent introduction to game theory for the political science graduate student. Although some prior knowledge of economics and game theory would certainly help, the early chapters in the book are excellent in familiarizing the reader with basic formal concepts.

A few comments by the previous reviewer may be misunderstood by some readers. This is NOT a "general concepts" book - in other words this is NOT game theory for poets - not that I hold anything against poets. This book does require some undergraduate level mathematics, mainly differential and integral calculus. Those looking for rigorous formal proofs of all theorems will be disappointed, but this is a technical book with an emphasis on demonstrating the application of formal tools to common problems in political science. Some of the material such as the chapter on perfect and sequential equilibria can be quite challenging.

If you merely wish to get a sense of what formal political science is all about and do not intend to actually fire up the old calculator, I suggest Robert Axelrod's excellent book "The Evolution of Cooperation".

One of the nice things about this book is it can be as technical or mathematical as you want. If you just want the concepts, you won't be jarred by lots of equations. But if you like the technical aspects, they're all there, especially in the appendix.

Great simple treatment of everything from basic Nash Equilibrium to more sophisticated concepts such as Bayesian information analysis.

The only potential disappointment of this book is if you know game theory well and are looking for something very sophisticated, this is not the book for you -- not because there's anything wrong with this book, but because it wasn't designed for that level.
