This is a great reference for anyone who supports Win '95 or plans to take the MCSE exam. It is basic enough for people new to '95, yet in depth enough for system admins and power users. I found it to be long in reading it cover-to-cover, but it is not meant to be read that way unless you plan to take the exam. It was my only reference for the exam, and I passed it easily on my first attempt. I hope the NT Self-Study Kit is as well written..

This book and CD set is an well-designed and effective study guide for the Implementing and Supporting Windows 95 MCP exam (70-63). I passed the test a comfortable 60 points over the passing grade after studying the guide thoroughly. I also learned a tremendous amount about Windows 95 internals, and the set will now serve as an excellent reference work. My only criticism is that it could use a few more multimedia files. They were very helpful in explaining abstract concepts such as memory and scheduling, and not all the topics that needed them had multimedia presentations

This is the cookbook you can count on for authentic, trustworthy recipes. Such a good variety of every ethnic favorite-this is the one cookbook I own that is worn to a frazzle!

I was very pleased to see recipes from all sides of my heritage (English, Norwegian, Croatian, and German). This book possesses recipes that my family has used for years along with new variations. I was thrilled to receive this gift from my mother. It's nice to see that as my generation grows older we can still utilize the cooking ideas of years past.

Had no idea when I ordered this book from Amazon that it would be both informative and inspirational. The background on a host of touch therapies enriched me; the real stories of healing, using hands-on touch enlightened me. A must read for anyone who wants to know more about alternative therapies and how to incorporate these in your lifestyle for health and healing.

This guide is superb! I picked it up because I wanted to know more about massage and acupuncture for pain relief. I was so surprised as the guide not only gave me the history and factual information on MANY touch therapies, it also detailed many patient stories of healing using touch. It was uplifting!! So often alternative therapy books are negative in tone. But this book was magical--it empowered me to feel like a touch therapy could actually help my back pain and gave me the confidence to try one. A great read for any age and very fresh and genuine in tone. Especially helpful--the chapter on managed care and how to get your HMO to pay for the therapy.

I'm at a loss as to why this book is not better known. Whenever someone asks me where to start in order to break out of their habitual sleep walking into an expanded view of reality, this volume is what I suggest. Personally, I've read it three times over the years- and I am perfectly willing to do so once again.

This is a book as much about the unconscious as it is about religious experience (as opposed to religious dogma.) This is because the author sees the unconscious as the matrix from which God reaches out to us. He isn't saying that God is merely another name for the unconscious- he is saying that the unconscious is the interface whereby we interact with God. The perspective is Jungian, but it goes far beyond Jung's published views. Indeed, the unconscious is seen as far vaster than even Jung imagined. The real purpose of this work is to ready us for contact with this vast unconscious, and by doing so, with God.

This book is also an excellent starting point for the study of the phenomenon of synchronicity, or meaningful "coincidence." In case you aren't familiar with this concept, a perfect example would be the fact that I searched for others who shared my birthdate before writing this review. Then, when I pulled this book up to write my review, I found that the only other one written was done on that date, my birthday. It is pointed out that the increasing frequency of such "coincidences" indicates that you are on the path to making meaningful connection with this higher realm or reality. You have broken through the veil and are on your way.

The author makes a clear and convincing case for another reality that intersects our sense-reality. This world is not subject to the experimental model of verification, but it is verified by the regularity of its manifestations. Does everyone have these experiences? Unlike Gellert, do they lack the confidence to share them? Do some people dismiss them out of hand? Do some people have them and others don't? The more people I talk to on this topic, the more unusual experiences I am finding out that they have had.

I love this devotonial, the insights are wonderful I would espally recomend this book as a gift for someone special, like on Valentines Day to share the love of Jesus Christ! Joyce

At any given time, there are many excellent devotional books available on the shelves of your local bookstore (especially at Amazon.com!). The ones that usually sell the best are those written by people who have been through the difficulties and tragedies of life and overcome them. After they emerge on the far side of that pain and torment and begin enjoying the benefits and rewards inherent in overcoming those difficulties, they are only too happy to tell all of us how we can do it too. Frankly, I've always considered that task a relitively easy one. If a person goes through a particularly difficult period of time and subsequently enjoys a time of bounty, it is easy to write to others who are still in that condition and tell them to be patient and remain steady. The author has the advantage of having lived through it and knows what is possible. It's not that I dispute their logic. Indeed I heartily agree with it. But I've always believed that that message would have more resonance if it were given by someone that had experienced a great deal of personal adversity, but had not yet reaped any benefit - like most of the people that read those books. The strength of character and faith of such a person would have to be tremendous. Kathy Troccoli is that person. She takes some personal risk with the publication of this book in that she allows the reader a glimps into the personal zone of her heart of hearts. To be honest, many Christian artists today are more a performer/entertainer than a servant/child of God. Kathy Troccoli is both, but with a clear emphasis on the latter. "My Life is in Your Hands: a Devotional to Help You Fall More Deeply in Love with Jesus" is written from the pure heart of a woman deeply in Love with her Savior. Most people long to have that kind of real relationship with Jesus, and Kathy shows the way. It is clear from reading between the lines that Kathy has experienced many of life's most painful sorrows, and despite the fact that she is a successful recording artist, has still not completely emerged "on the other side" in regards to personal fulfillment of earthly desires. Nevertheless, despite the fact that she has been denied some of the things to which the world normally attaches great importance, she draws closer and closer to Jesus, and remains ever faithful and obedient - even in the midst of difficulties. If Kathy's intention was indeed to help the reader fall more deeply in Love with Jesus, and to deepen the intimate bond between the two, she has succeeded tremendously. If you want to take the first steps toward having that kind of relationship with Jesus, you need to read this book!

My 15 month old didn't like this book at first, but now she constantly gets it out of the book pile and wants me to read it. I love it because to illustrations are very unique, something that I look for when I buy books for my daughter. I recommend it!

Wonderfully amusing book for young children with great artwork and vivid descriptive wording. Very creative.

This book is a hoot! It offers page after page of entertainment. I found it at a bed and breakfast I stayed at on their coffee table and it gave me quite a few chuckles as I spent time trying to do the hand manipulations. Now I am going to buy the book for myself!

The Victorians were prudes? You'll never look at old engravings with an innocent mind again. Great fun!

This book was fabulous. I was doing a research paper on the toilet. If I could, i could have found all I needed to know in this one book. It was histarical in some of the stories that were in there as well. I would recomend reading this to anyone even just for kicks.

This book literally cover every thing imaginable about a toilet. It is presented in short easy lessons. Humor is generously included. It is an interesting book to read and one that should be considered for the guest bedroom. One can read as much or as little as needed to put one to sleep. I suspect though that once started reading it will be hard to put down.

We FINALLY get to meet Urd's angel! Don't get me wrong--Holy Bell and Noble Scarlet are beautiful and sweet, but World of Elegance ROCKS! From her split appearance to her fire-breathing power, she is the Angel of Angels. Peorth's Glorious Rose is cool too, but we see so little of her that I can't really make a judgement.

If you saw the movie, you saw how cool World of Elegance is.

As for the other stories...I read the one about Belldandy getting drunk when it was in the monthly comic, so that one was not new to me. And the others were pretty good, but like I said, I read them before too. All except for the one about Urd and her angel.

The art is breathtaking, and the story is original and fun. This is one of my favorite series (Five Star Stories and Real Bout High School being the other two), and anyone who's ever read OMG/AMG knows why I love this series!

I only wish they'd put out the books faster!

This is volume 15 of the English-translated manga series "Oh My Goddess". Fans of the previous manga won't be dissappointed here. Those new to manga should enjoy the sweet and funny tales of the goddess Belldandy and her human boyfriend (and the one she is contracted to) Keiichi.

There are four seperate stories in this volume of the manga. The first deals with Keiichi's sister Megumi and her racing a motorcycle lady known simply as "The Queen". The second tale deals with Belldandy's older sister Urd and Urd's loss of her angel World of Elegance. BTW, that's Urd and her angel on the book's cover.

The third tale deals with Belldandy getting drunk off of cola and casting a spell which causes her and Keiichi to have to hold hands continually (much to her younger sister Skuld's dismay). And finally, the fourth tale deals with the robot Banpei falling in love with an automoton. Skuld must deal with the fact that her creation has grown beyond his original programming.

Bottom line: Some light-hearted tales with Urd and Skuld growing somewhat. Also, a nice look at the current state of the relationship between Belldandy and Keiichi. There are lots of funny moments making this well worth spending your money on.

As a history and genealogy buff, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Not only did it contain family information which was important to me, but I enjoyed the details about many different Civil War battles, (such as Peach Tree Creek).
There have been several Units and or battles, I've tried to find details on over the years, and found only spotty information.
I was very surprised to find great details about those in this book. Thank you so much. You really brought these stories to life.

Like many of his generation, Mangham was first drawn to the Civil War by the books and movies that appeared during the Centennial celebrations in the early 1960s. Family visits to sites like Stone Mountain and Peachtree Creek cemented his interest, as did the many CSA markers in the small country cemetery where his grandfather was buried. (The title of this book comes from the epitaph on his great-grandmother's headstone.) His family also encouraged an abiding interest in his own genealogy. After graduating from LSU, his career path led to the army, the eventual rank of Lieutenant-Colonel, and a tour as professor of history at the Military Academy at West Point -- and the confluence of these interests and traditions make him perhaps uniquely qualified to write this fascinating combination of military and family history. The author's grandfather, Henry Gordon Mangham, probably was named for General John B. Gordon, who rose from captain of volunteers to Lee?s only non-West Point corps commander. Henry's own grandfather had served in a Georgia Sharpshooter battalion in the Army of Tennessee and two of his great-uncles had fought in the 13th Georgia Infantry, a unit which not only helped make Gen. Gordon's reputation but which also suffered the second-highest casualty rate of any regiment at Sharpsburg/Antietam. Both uncles, in fact, had been seriously wounded there. Many Mangham cousins also served in the War and at least five never returned home. However, the author goes on to discuss the experiences and activities of dozens of other units from seven Southern states and this fat volume will be of considerable interest to any serious Civil War historian or hobbyist. But that's not all! Nearly half the book presents a detailed and extremely well-documented history of the Mangum / Mangram / Mangham family beginning with the marriage of John Mangum to Frances Bennett in Isle of Wight County, Virginia about 1694, and following their migrations first to North Carolina and eventually to Georgia about 1790, with some branches of the family moving on to Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas. Some 500 Manghams and their offspring are brought together in a seven-generation Descendant Report, which includes cross-references to the main text, a very handy feature. Col. Mangham has also included a very good glossary to military terminology and a 34-page bibliography, as well as a brief instructional guide to Civil War research.
