I just got a new copy of the Power of Attraction. Wow! I loved this duo's last book, and this one is a great follow-up! It really helped me assess my friendships and figure out how to make things better between me and my boyfriend. It's like getting a personal guide map to relationships! The table of my day is very informative and most of the dates very accurate. I can recommend this book to all of you people who like to figure out what makes us all tick! And it's a fun read and spookily accurate.

Without a doubt, reading this book has changed my perspective on a lot of what the Bible has to offer mankind and his/her destiny. I have never experienced such an easy-to-understand point-of-view on the Christian way of belief. Truly, this book about the LORD's prophecies is, in a sense, written through a prophetic means. It is in my best interest, now, to learn all that I can about the subject of this book, and to spread the knowledge to all of whom I care about.

This book reviews the socioeconomic times and coinage of the Roman Republic. It provides valuable information relating to the identification and documentation (including pictures of the vast majority of known coin types) of coins of this period. If you are trying to identify an unknown coin, this would be the first and best pictorial source, and is also a scolarly work dedicated to showing the whole picture, from historical accounts to mintage figures and die types.

This past summer I visited Sorrento for the first time. Aftr a morning walk and gawking at the poetic beauty of the place and the sapphire sea I found myself on the Francis Marion Crawford corso. An American name,who was this man that an avenue should be named after him? The concierge back at my hotel obliged my question: Crawford was an American novelist,the most popular at the turn of the century. He bought a villa on a bluff of the Sorrentine coast with a magnificent view of the bay and Vesuvius, and below a small fjord for mooring of his yacht.He lived sumptuously with a retinue of servants and a full crew to man his yacht.Every summer he sailed to an isolated 14th Century watchtower in the Gulf of Policastro where he wrote his novels alone except for the crew who were shipboard.The natives dubbed him the Prince of Sorrento,he was a handsome man and gifted.The concierge on his off hours showed me the Villa Crawford which is now a home for a teaching sisterhood.Crawford was a national and international celebrity and admired romantically by his women readers.He is buried in a lovely cemetery at SantAgnello di Sorrento.To come upon this novel about Crawford doubled my vacation pleasure. How surely the novelist Mr. Palescandolo has caught the elan of this writer and the beauty of his chosen abode.Like Hedwige,the heroine,I am eager to revisit the Villa Crawford.I am now reading one of Crawford's novel: To Leeward. I realize, while reading this novel,that Mr. Palescandolo has written a Crawfordian novel to celebrate Crawford himself.For me it was a stunning and elightful coincidence.

I found this the second volume (published first for some reason) in the far corner on the top row of my bookshelf because Dan Crawford seems to have disapeared after the third book These very different and fun story's had been pushed aside by new additions to my libary but since we have been going through this fantasy dry spell (at least good fantasy) I went digging for something to read......They tell the story of the adventures of a exiled warrior woman of noble birth with a very short fuse and a dry sense of humour named Nimnestl. A necromancer who much to his own disgust is apparently on the side of truth "his truth" and justice "his justice" named Kaftus and Polijn a young girl from the streets who uses common sense and basic mistrust of everyone to survive .With Conan the child King they all serve are without a doubt some of the most intresting characters I have ever enjoyed reading about the story's are quick and well writen with alot of strange twists that will keep people guessing Dan Crawford has a way of changing tracks so that the story you thought was a sub-plot becomes the main focus and what you thought was the central story of the book gets finished half way through ,in two of the three books in a fun style that made me laugh outloud as I read it. These three books Rouse a Sleeping Cat, A Wild Dog and Lone , and the The Sure Death of a Mouse are very good and well worth a read. The Pixies should have got more screen time I think... Please write more

Judith Tick does an indispensable service here in writing the first full-length biography of Ruth Crawford Seeger. And it is a damn shame that Seeger was takened in 1951 an early age for someone with a consummate gift for composition. Tick traverses her entire life down to the walks from one library to another to concerts in Chicago, along Michigan Avenue. Infrequently we never read about Seeger's radicalism, her days, as most artists with the Labour Movement in the United States throughout the early part of this century. Tick makes us believe Seeger's understanding of this,not only in writing politically progressive music, music which identifies with the exploited, but how these experiences in facing these dark times informed her more abstract music. Tick gives a great narrative on these pre-McCarthy Era times,placing Seeger's work in a context,in fact so much so that her creativity suffered under too much involvement.

This is a great history of Britain's Special Air Service. In chronological order, the book depicts every major operation the SAS has been involved in since its inception. The authors go into great detail about the operations, talking about the actual execution and the aftereffects. Along with great photos, this hard-cover is a must-have for anyone hoping to learn about the SAS.

A fascinating look at the spiritual, mythological, and psychological aspects of money, replete with terrific stories, that leads the reader on a journey that places money in service to life and not vice versa. An outstanding book!

a story about being so close and yet so far...the setting is the great sand dunes near alamosa, colorado, and how they torment men's souls. this was also a movie called gold of the seven saints, but hollywood missed the point..they should take another shot.

Howard Arkley's distinctive artwork has had a discernible impact upon contemporary art culture. In this book, leading Australian publisher Ashley Crawford, who edited the award-winning '21.C' and 'World Art' journals, collects together for the first time an extensive collection of Arkley's artwork, pictures, sketches, and monographs.

The result is a powerful book revealing the complex relationship between art and creativity, and Arkley's eye for detail regarding the human condition. The essays and biographical information are excellent. Production values are very high: the artwork is vivid.

The definitive collection for the Arkley addict.
