Cricket Weather is a collection of poems and prints of the specific. The poems range in subject from music to nature to the study of the human mind, each full of details that engage the reader. Walton's sense of timing and sound in the lines of his poetry is clever and concise. This is a small book of carefully constructed poems that the reader can enjoy on the first read, or with more study, can understand the layers of their construction. I highly recommend it.

What we need today is people that can think independently, honestly, and comprehensively as in the enlightenment days of American history (See our large collection of such classic works online: TruthInHeart.com of men who took their stand as Boyl does today.) As demonstrated in this book, this generation is overrun with crafty schemers that multiply their sophisticated agendas, or else who pay people to do such for them. We are smart enough today to get only what we really want; while anything that contradicts gets the standard response of 'O don't tell me anymore, I don't want to hear it.' We have no more responsibilities anymore. In America someone is taking care of us in just about any conceivable department of life. We no longer really need to know how to do anything to survive or succeed in what we wish for. Just imagine that! and you can have it. We have been shaped from the cradle to get whatever we want as long as we go with the flow or can pay enough to buy reality.

Any student of history can see that our generation is ripe for the greedy picking. And as long as the general people are pacified and slowly boiled they will not take the time to even consider counting the cost of manly independence. We are stunned by the absolute present, and a few days perhaps, into the future. We do not have the time to search things out like "Defending Civil Resistance Under International Law". Why bother anyway, when it will only ruin our reputations and agendas?

Let me tell you that a real citizen of any country has his heart set on the highest interests and not merely those of the fleeting surface. If there are any real men today who are independent, honest, and thorough, then they will consider all of the implications or effects of their actions; and if they have any wisdom they will consider the foundations of the times. Boyl seems to be such a courageous fellow who is willing to call America back to dignity and maturity. His rare post as Instructor of International Law prepares him to consider our times and sphere objectively. And as people so caught up with the present, and so dependent upon 'authorities,' we should give our undivided attention to such a man when he calls us to be accountable for forsaking all the counsel of our fathers and all the wisdom of the ages. We won't listen until we see for ourselves! Until the very things happen to us that were warned in this book.

This book will not only give you facts about how you have been duped by just accepting popular opinion, but if it is considered will help you to begin to understand some of the real responsibilities of government and the people. There are many contributions in this book, but the most important is its magnetic call for independent, honest, and thorough heroes to rebuild the fallen walls.

As a student of Shakespeare I bought this book to help me understand the connection between Oldcastle and Falstaff. Rittenhouse quotes Holinshed's CHRONICLES and Foxe's ACTS AND MONUMENTS for the historical Lollard who died a martyr's death under Henry V. He gives us the entire play (1 SIR JOHN OLDCASTLE)written in 1599 by four authors who borrowed heavily from Shakespeare. 2 SIR JOHN OLDCASTLE, wherein the bishops insist on his death, was suppressed as too hot a topic in the aftermath of the execution of Essex.

Oldcastle in the play is shown as loyal to Henry V and esteemed by many people of both high and low degree. A follower of Wycliff, he stood for removing the abuses of the Church. Those who benefited from the abuses, the bishops, wanted Henry V to see Oldcastle as disloyal to the crown.

For my purposes in comparing Oldcastle to Falstaff, the book was useful but I need to read about Wycliff and John Florio to complete the picture.

It was originally a doctoral dissertation.

It's about Nancy and her friends who go to the fair. The story is really exciting. You can't put it down. --Zoe, age 7

This book tells about the spiritual conflict that has continued throughout time. It is classified as occult but should be better classified as history or non-fiction. For example it tells us about Adolf Hitler and the fact that he was a member in the OTO established by A. Crowley. He also spoke with such mesmerising oratoracle prowess yet lacked the education to back his speeches. Many believe he was spiritually influenced. The book goes back to basically the beginning of time to present, is extensively cross referenced and researched. It will enlighten even the most sceptic reader to the spiritual good and bad influences that have effected mankinds history. It touches on theories that have not been proven but yet strike a familiar chord that can be easily recognized as very likely such as why is it that in early history there is tales of dragons and the like....but where are they today. One theory states that as mankind has become more advanced the spirits (who can appear as anything such as angels) have become more tactful. It tells of strange coincedences such as recorded accounts of spiritual manifistations being accompanied by strange lights, smell of sulfur, a strange buzzing type of noise. It is also present in a large number of UFO sightings. I could go on and on but you will just have to read it for yourself. If you can find it. I found my copy in Palma, Mallorca but gave it to a person that didn't believe in the after life or angels and demons. Changed her outlook but I never got my book back. (end). Can you also help me locate another copy please. Thank you. Sincerely, Rick E. Bowli

When my teacher gave me this book, the first thing that grabbed me was the cover - it really sets the scene for what is a teriffic and exciting story. While it takes a few pages for the book to gather pace, once you start reading the story of Rohan, and his fight against 'the darkness' this book won't let you go. I read it all in one night, and then again the following day! (Something I haven't done since the first Harry Potter!)

The author uses his setting, the harsh and remote South Coast of Western Australia, as a mirror to the emotions of his characters as they each struggle to come to terms with their own personal 'Darkness' - and their journey, though often painful, becomes the reader's own journey.

The gentle prose which reveals the story is descriptive enough that you can feel and understand the story, and yet there is also enough action and suspense to keep you turning the pages. As a reader I hate it when authors 'talk down' to me, and I never felt like that with this book.

I recommend it to anyone who has had to deal with 'darkness' in their own lives, or who just wants an intelligent and engaging read.

Thjis is a book that deserves to have remained in print. It is the story of an oil tanker casualty off East Africa, the sinking of the ship, the loss into the sea of its oil cargo, and the subsequent enquiry into how it happened, conducted in South Africa. Was it the crew? The owners cost-cutting? Bab builders? Deficient work in drydock? Or freak weather in an area notorious for it?

The drama is kept nicely on the boil with no resort to the ridiculous. The technical content is near-perfect. A first-class read for sea professional, sea novel reader and discerning thriller-addict alike.

Inspector Morse is just one of those detectives that are as highly rated as Hercule Poirot. Morse loves classical music and books and he times himself when when he does the London TImes Crossword. Sergent Lewis is just like Cpt. Hastings in the Hercule Poirot series. I suggest any Inspector Morse books and any Hercule Poirot ones as well.
