If you are looking for a superb guide to spiritual development practices, look no more! "Realizing Your Inner Potential" is the magnum opus of the late Dr George King. He was a Western Master of Yoga who applied a brilliant intellect to the secret teachings of the East. As a younger man he threw himself into the practice of yoga, earning many advanced initiations from the great teachers of the time. He became capable of awakening the mystic fire of kundalini in its entirety into the ultimate state of samadhi. This gave him the ability to discern from personal experience which spiritual development practices combined effectiveness with balance. During his life, the mystic tradition of secrecy towards powerful teachings changed into one of openness in keeping with the unfolding New Age. This meant that he was free to adopt practices containing the ancient secrets of spiritual attainment and also to design new ones to work effectively with Western culture.

This beautifully hard bound book is packed full of information about the residents of Stafford County, Virginia from 1723-1758. It includes not only recorded births, deaths and marriages, but the notations offer insights on such things as local cemetery locations and land records. This has been a great help in my genealogical research for my ancestors in this area, and I continue to refer to often as I uncover more names from my past. This book is a must for anyone researching this area.

If you are history buff, this work tells the story of King Philip's War as no other.

One caveat: As with all histories of the day, it has zero objectivity with regard to the First Nations.

Still, the details this book provides will be found nowhere else.

Reading the accounts in other history books on the era gives you a general idea about particular battles. This book goes into GREAT detail.

It is worth both the price and the wait to have it printed. Superb!

It's all there for the fan of Stephen King. From King's career, to his books, to reference works on his books both in print and yet to come, this is the definitive work.

There are 100 articles, profiles and other goodies along with 50 photos!

George Bird Grinnell is in one point different from other historians of the Old West. He personnally knew many of the cele-brities of that age, and what is written in his books are found-ed upon their stories. Major Frank North and his brother,Captain Luther North /Grinnell's close friend/ commanded this unique force of Indian auxiliaries. Unique,because they never lost a fight or even a single life during the long line of their battles and skirmishes. They patrolled the building of the railway and fought in major battles like the one of the Summit Springs.Also an important part of the book is the short history of the Pawnee Nation and it serves as well as a biography of the North brothers.And all this is in the highly readable style of George Bird Grinnell with full of westernisms.

I was put off by the cover but I decided to buy it anyway as the contents looked really interesting. Well, they are amazing. Some of it is mind-blowing advanced metaphysics. For all serious students, it is worth a read.

I have read many books on healing and have been healer myself for many years. I regard this book as the best one I have ever read on the subject. It not only goes through the technique step-by-step with illustrations, it explains how the technique works and why. I learned so much from this book that I highly recommend it to anyone who would love to learn healing or is already a healer.

The conceit of "Stephen King's Creepshow," the 1982 horror anthology film directed by George A. Romero, was that these were the stories in a horror comic book. The implicit homage was to the great E.C. horror titles of the 1950s (remember this is before "Tales from the Crypt" popped up on cable TV), an idea reinforced by the fact former E.C. artist Jack Kamen did the cover art for this graphic novel version of the film that was based on a comic book. The chief attraction here for me was not that Stephen King wrote these stories, but rather than Berni Wrightson was the artist for the five adaptations collected in this volume. That is why I bothered to pick this book up in the first place; I had seen the movie and while it was fun it was nothing special. "The Crate" was the best episode of the bunch and "Something to Tide You Over" had some nice moments. But I had the illustrated version of "Frankenstein" that Wrightson did and a toney table top book "The Studio" that featured his artwork along with another favorite, Barry Windsor-Smith. This is why I was really expecting something special and why I was rather disappointed with this volume, because I do not think Wrightson delivers his best work. Part of the problem might be the coloring, which I believe was done by Michelle Wrightson, but for the most part it seems clear that that these five stories are no where near the artist's best work. Again, I think "The Crate" is probably the best of the bunch (although I really thought this was where Wrightson would go to town with the monster) and "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill" is halfway decent (even offering echoes of the Swamp Thing). "Father's Day" and "They're Creeping Up on You" are the first and last stories in the book and neither is an improvement on the original film stories. Stephen King has done better and so, in case you are missing the thesis of my review, has Bernie Wrightson.

I ordered CREEPSHOW through amazon Z shops a few weeks ago after much deliberation and I finnally have it. The comic book is just like the movie in every single little detail. The charachters in the comic book look just like the charachters in the movie. Especially Leslie Nielsen, Ted Danson and Hal Holbrook. The book is hosted by, 'The Creep' an undead host who is constantly chortling away as he introduces and concludes each of the 5 short stories. Surprisingly, 'The lonesome death of Jordy Verrill'(which is the worst story in the movie) is most probably one of the best in the comic book!! In the book, my fave stories are, 'Something to tide you over', 'Father's day' and 'The lonesome death of Jordy Verill'. With a fantastic script by the master of the macabre, Stephen King and stunning art by Bernie Wrightson, CREEPSHOW is an absolute must have for horror fans everywhere. If you thought the EC's were good, you will LOVE CREEPSHOW. Get it NOW!!! Trust me, you will not be dissapointed!!!

If you like horror comics and anything by Stephen King, then you will LOVE "Creepshow". This book ties in with the movie and it's some of Kings best work. Wrote in the best "Tales From the Crypt" style, its a rollercoaster ride of terror and laughs. "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill" is one of my faves, both in the book and the movie.(Steve King is a GREAT actor, isn't he?)The illusrations are by the brilliant comic artist, Bernie Wrightson and when paired with King's flair for the macabre, well; you can't go wrong. So buy it, buy it, buy it! You won't regret it. (FYI: Stephen King's son, Owen was the boy who got even with his dad for throwing away his comic book, in the movie. heehee, everyone needs a good voodoo doll!)

A monster creation of gritty realistic proportions, building on the previous volume with almost majestic qualities. Fantasy styles and novels come and go, but I believe that "The Song of Ice and Fire" will stand the test of time and become a classic very soon.

Fantasy elements are kept in restraint at all times, this could almost be a historical novel set in the times of the English Wars of the Roses, but this makes it all the more better, as the whizz-bang of wizards, magic swords and the like are refreshingly missing. I haven't read a Fantasy novel for a long time that gets the sense of large countries and populations across realistically. Normally with an army of a few thousand and a handful of characters, the lead protagonist makes his move. Here armies' number in the hundreds of thousands and Martin has hundreds of well-placed, well thought out characters (with suitable family histories) in more than one location to back this up. Action takes place simultaneously with far distances separating places and people effectively. With literally hundreds of sub-plots, histories and motivations to go with it. Action is often brutal, bloody, dirty and realistic. Again I am reminded of the War of the Roses. The detail and description is heavy and rich without being dense and boring. Events keep you turning the pages and I am looking forward to the next volume. I cannot praise it enough.

I'll admit I picked up Game of Thrones basically because it had a quote from Robert Jordan on the cover, and I was desperate for a book to read. Good luck, I'd say. Martin's successfully created a fantasy world that at once seems as real as our own history and at the same time embraces the utterly fantastic. What he started with Game of Thrones has only improved with Clash of Kings. For an erstwhile fantasy novel, there's very little in the way of sorcery and fairies...which is not to say those aspects are not there. Clash of Kings features a significant increase in the role of the fantastic from Game of Thrones, but continues to let his enthralling characters and amazing ability to tell a story of politics within the scope of what almost feels like historical fiction. To me, most fantasy novels have an almost dreary lack of originality. Even such modern masterpieces as Guy Gavriel Kay's Fionavar Tapestry, Tad Williams' Memory, Sorrow and Thorn, and Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time are positively drenched in Tolkein and Arthurian archetypes. Martin has written a brilliant novel of conflict, human flaws, and strength, using the traditions of the fantasy genre, not to supply him with the basis for all his characters and his plot, but as a supporting aspect of a far grander theme. Bravo.

'A Clash Of Kings' a novel by George R. R. Martin is another fine entry in his fantasy series called 'A Song Of Ice And Fire'. The author, George R. R. Martin is an excellent writer and make no mistake about it, this series is the best set of novels I have read in years (in any genre). Very rarely will I read books twice'normally most books do not warrant 2 reads. However, these books are rich in detail and every page draws the reader further into the story.

Martin writes each chapter as if it were a short story and every chapter is written from a different point of view. Even minor characters have their own stories. His world is made up of people surviving difficult situations and each character reacts differently to circumstances based upon their own interests. No person is completely good or bad, Martin's characters are people who make mistakes and likewise they are people who capitalize on mistakes made by others. This makes for fascinating reading.

Martin's world is a place of knights and kings. His people have different religions and different customs. In sum his world is as real a place as you can expect of a fantasy novel. Therefore, the story is far too large to summarize here but suffice it to say that Martin's world is up for grabs. There are 6 kings/rulers fighting it out to see who will survive. The amazing thing is some leading characters actually don't survive. Martin has the courage and literary skill to 'kill' off both major and minor characters and yet the story does not suffer. Intertwined in the political intrigue there are stories of love, stories of betrayal, stories of war.

If you select this book you will not be disappointed.

The Gunslinger begins the saga of Roland, an old west style gunfighter lost somewhere in a strange parallel world. It is a classic story of good vs. evil and only begins a race to the mythical Dark Tower. This book is a short fast read that sets up the plot for the Dark Tower series. The characters are imaginative and interesting, although King leaves allot of holes in the puzzles their pasts (to be pieced together in later installments). As a stand-alone book, it's average King but it's obviously essential if you want to try on this epic multi-book quest. A decent read that will leave you scrambling for answers in Part 2.

"The Gunslinger" was one of the first books I ever read by Stephen King (sometime in the early 90s), and even though it's not one of my favorites, it's still worth reading if you like King's fantasy novels. It takes place in another world where Roland, the gunslinger, pursues The Man in Black across dry, dangerous terrain, entering town after town and stumbling across various characters who will ultimately lead him to a mortal battle with The Man in Black.

This series/book isn't like King's typical horror fare (i.e., "Cujo" or "Carrie"); it has more of a western/sci-fi feel to it. That's probably why I didn't like it as much. But if you're into this type of genre, then you'll more than likely enjoy the Dark Tower series--"The Gunslinger" (#1), "The Drawing of the Three" (#2), "The Waste Lands" (#3), and "Wizard and Glass" (#4).

This is the first in Stephen King's Dark Tower series and right away it pulls the reader into the desolate landscape of an Alter-Earth, where similarities between our world are noted and the differences are savored (and cringed at). Comparable to Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings series (although definitely intended for a much older and mature audience)this involves one man's quest for a Dark Tower (which presumably could save his dying world), a man that is a cross between a knight and an American West gunfighter (hence the title). In this he is following a "man in black" who may have answers he so desperately needs. This is entertaining reading at its best, adventure, intrigue, a must for any fan of Stephen King. I'm not that big of a fantasy novel fan but this book and it's sequels are excellent motivators to peruse that genre. Bottom line, if you're looking for some fun while reading check this book out. If you do you'll not only finish this book but you'll find yourself going right for the next one, until you find yourself waiting (rather patiently I might add) for Mr. King to put out another one of these tightly woven, highly interesting stories!
