Lavishly illustrated and clearly written, this book is extremely accissble to readers from high school onward. The layout is conducive to use of the book as a textbook for a course with text box discussions that lend themselves well to use by students in discussion groups.

Well written. Clearly teaches the basics of economic principles and then builds upon that foundation.

For those searching to understand the relationship between the conscious, sub-conscious and super-conscious self, this book is a "must read". Henry Reed takes the reader logically through each state and explains how one works with the other. He does so in a way which any reader can relate in the most personal sense. Then he leads the reader to understand how we can apply our ideals to create the reality and direction we wish for our lives in future. This book made absolute sense to me in my search for spiritual understanding. I have given over 40 copies of this book to friends and acquaintances and it has transformed the thinking of many of them.

I have an original 1888 copy of this book, and did research on Elsie Leslie, the original 1888 Broadway star of the play(she was only 7!). This book will delite anyone, young or old. It shows the humanity of a man that really regretted being a thief. A great story, with wonderful morals (something usually not seen or taught these days). THIS IS A MUST READ!

Anybody with an interest in free speech issues will find this account of the "Hatrack Case" fascinating and entertaining. The book recounts an attempt by the federal government to censor a 1926 issue of Mencken's magazine, The American Mercury, because of an ostensibly pornographic short story that appeared in it. Mencken, of course, is a great writer, and this only adds to the appeal of this book. Mencken regarded free speech as our most important liberty, and this book reveals that he was willing to risk a jail sentence to combat censorship.

Anyone interested in car design must read and keep this book. Should be a mandatory reading in design schools and design departments of every automaker. Either as a historical document or as an artistic reference, this book is a feast of information and images.
The author does not pretend to be an amateur car designer but instead humbly becomes a communication channel between the reader, Bob Gregorie and the memory of Edsel Ford, and a very good one indeed.
Kudos to Henry Dominguez for not having succumbed to the temptation of using modern color pictures and having gone to the process of selection those amazing images from The Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village archives. Kudos to Henry Domiguez for such a fine book.

Until we all realize that the schools have largely become vehicles for replicating the status-quo, for producing people who will follow orders and buy products, and maybe even increase prison populations, we will continue our cultural spiral downhill. This book and its very credible authors explain why we should be concerned.

This book offers a wonderful overview for those new to the United Methodist denomination, or for veteran Methodists who want a better understanding of what beliefs distinguish the church, or simply to grow in their faith. Well-written, detailed but not ponderous, and with questions after each chapter, it would make an excellent text for focus in small group discussion. Enjoy, and keep the faith!

This is a small book (3 1/4 x 4 inches). It is almost a type of ornamental book with glossy pages. It also has a nice star of david connected as a book marker. It has songs and a recipe following each night of Hanukah. A nice gift for a teenager or younger.

The title of this book is a bit misleading. Calling it the "Major Phase" makes it sound as if all the stories are from the same period in the career of Henry James. This isn't precisely true. Furthermore, the title story (The Cage) might lead one to suspect that all the stories are from his last period.

Now, I don't defer to many people in the level of my admiration for the work of this writer, but I am certainly aware that some stories in the book (e.g., "The Author of Beltraffio," "The Altar of the Dead") are easier going than "The Cage" or "The Beast in the Jungle" or "The Jolly Corner"--that is, stories written in James's "late manner."

However, the chronological presentation of these tales, as well as the excellent selection of material, makes a fine entrance to the world of his later novels. I'm thinking in particular of The Ambassadors, The Wings of the Dove, and The Golden Bowl.

So, if the only thing you have read by this author is Washington Square and Portrait of a Lady, and you aren't sure whether you want to dive into the writer's later work, this book is a good test.
