This very interesting casebook covers a broad spectrum of international and U.S. law applicable to refugee and asylum claims. The casebook contains diverse materials that allow the law student or just the interested person to have a clear panorama of this complex but wonderful area of law. Continuous references to materials of the UNHCR are provided and policy analysis of different problems arising out asylum law are included. This is an indispensable tool for an asylum lawyer

When I was in the university I remember judging the course I was about to undertake by the quality of the books the professor selected for the course. Well hats off to Teri Moore.

Finally a comprehensive and professional text to accompany a course of instruction in Reiki. Ms. Moore has provided, in a well laid out manner, the aspects of Reiki that would be covered by the majority of Reiki I courses.

The artwork is original and high quality, the text itself is excellent and understandable and there is ample room to take notes during the classes or as you read the book. As with all Reiki, it can't be passed on by a book and this is a great choice for any teacher to offer with a course or for any student anticipating Reiki training.

Thank you Teri.

This book starts out somewhat at a tangent. The interlocutor,Mor-Zamba, appears as a refugee from another clan as a small boy, and he meets with both African hospitality and foreigner rejection in equal measure. He is teased and rough-handled by the local boys, and celebrated for upholding the honor of his adopted village by winning a wrestling contest which pitted "his" village with another. But he recieves little gratitude from the villagers afterwards as he proceeds to build a house for himself. Only Abena, whose family has welcomed him and who will remain his livelong friend gives him a hand. And to cap it all, he is sent away as an indentured servant ( a colonial kind of slavery) to work for the colonials as a prisoner. His crime: the colonial authorities need laborers and the local chief has to provide them. The local stranger with no family roots in the village is the obvious victim. But Mor-Zamba endures prison life, and his friend Abena also leaves the village and takes up degrading work with a European priest to be near his friend. But that is not all... This time Cameroon is on the verge of political independence, and the trade union leader, Ruben (Um Nyobe) and his PPP (UPC) party are asking for the type of indenpendence the French authorities are unwilling to give their colony. The french will go very far, supporting a more ammenable Baba Toura (Ahmadou Ahidjo) and will engage in covert assasination of local leaders opposed to their choice. And so Baba Toura's opponents are killed by a ruthless gang of french-backed mercenaries. Ruben (um Nyobe) becomes the first matyr and his followers resort to guerrilla tactics--les maquisards. Meanwhile, Abena returns from a long war effort for France that had taken him from Europe to Indo-China. His return is a boost for the Rubenists, but it also heralds a new destiny for Mor-Zamba, who has to return to the village and reclaim the chief's stool that had been usurped by his erstwhile nemesis.This books shows the daily picture of a period in time, the birth of political emancipation in a former french colony (or trust territory in this case), and throws some light on post-colonials political developments in Cameroon.

Reviewer's Note: Ahidjo eventually quashed all opposition, formed a one-party dictatorship, and ruled for 22 years.

Alex Moore literally defines modern/standard ballroom dance. The Imperial Society and World Dance Council both use it to judge technical accuracy. It is the end-all of perfect dancing. If you are serious about dance, this is the first book you should have.

I wonder why the discrimination (is it ignorance?) exists regarding James's first great work, "Roderick Hudson." Yes, it is early James, and yes, snobs, it is very "readable." It's a page turner, the sentences are short, and the clauses only interfere in the early chapters, as James revised this earliest work with woefully-advised insertions of his later style. Once you get past these early chapters, however, you will be carried along - there are a few laughs as colorless Rowland Mallet tries to rein in the wild, sensitive Roderick.

Much of the action takes place in Italy - and you get to meet the delicious Princess Casamassima (at this point, Judith Light), to boot.

A real winner - for me, second only to "Portrait of a Lady"---

This book/diary is most worthwhile to all Bond afficionados, on several counts. For one thing, it is one of the most up-close and personal looks at Roger Moore you can hope to find. This journal was kept by him during the filming of his first effort as Bond. He really comes across as down-to-earth, warm, human, very humorous, a practical joker, and utterly lacking any pretence or arrogance. What a fantastic human being. But second, it is an in-depth look at the making of one of the immortal Bond movies. I tell you, after reading this book you will have a new appreciation for "Live and Let Die". The stunts, the locations, the women, the laughs, its all here. Its extremely readable and hard to put down. I found it ended all too soon. I wish he had written one for each movie. Very few books quite like this.

Love it. Love to read about about men in this time

Due to a production error, the final line of my preface was cut off. It should read "... date due to a surge of new material." If you like, send me your copy and I'll handwrite the missing line and autograph the book gratis. E-mail me at stevmoore@earthlink.net.

If you want to understand the mind of the Old South, this book will help. Startup has gleaned hundreds of antebellum sermons to argue that pronouncements from southern pulpits teach us much about the whole of southern society and culture. He presents a compelling argument that will surprise some readers, and rankle others. This book is a worthy addition to the historiography of the antebellum South.

Fabulous! Astounding! Super! A very uniquely packaged book. In short - you will be intoxicated reading this. I've loved Rumi poetry for a long long time and this is one of the best books I've seen. Poetry doesn't get any better than this. I get drunk reading Rumi's poetry every night. If you wanna get high - this is the stuff to get high on!
