I agree that great men have been neglected in the overtures of history, such as General Lewis.However, he is intered at East Hill Cemetary just above downtown Salem, VA.

I really enjoyed this book after searching for it for years! The General was one of my ancestors. My Gr. Grandmother was Samantha Lewis Westfall. It was a well researched book. However, the General's burial is in Hampton W. Va. As a small child I used to put flowers on his grave. This is near Buckhannon W.Va. I feel the same way that Johnson does, that so many greats were ignored while too much attention was paid to George Washington. General Lewis was at the very least, equal to Washington during and before the revolutionary way. A great book for history buffs!

Older children will enjoy reading the story because of the format Mr. Derby used. It'll make history come alive for them and educate them at the same time.

I found this book to be a fastinating fictional story of Robert Falcon Scott, written in today's language that children understand - the internet.

I have always believed that Mr. Scott deserved a more prominent place in history.

I read this book about seven years ago and I still remember it as one of the most enjoyable books of the many I've read. Each chapter takes a look at a different cult that has/had sprung up out of some excitement over the possibility of aliens. The analysis is qualitative and not overly theoretical (nor mildly journalistic).

I like this book because it is more objective perspective, not from the UFO true believers camp. Although from an academic viewpoint, most of the reading is interesting and would make a good resource book for any library. Its illustrations help put a face on the many types of flying saucer organizations. It contains an extensive bibliography, as well as an early history of the Heaven's Gate phenomenon (before they committed suicide). Fascinating chapters on Unarius and the Raelians. Lots of information all in one place, even a few statistics.

Neal Flomenbaum is the most amazing editor in the world, he contributes alot to this book and he's the best dad. Hi daddy,

Love, Adam

Goldfranks Toxicologic Emergencies provides a rich source of very concise toxicology information on wide variety of topics immensely important to anyone who is interested in clinical toxicology. This texts socratic approach is well received in an in depth but easy to digest form. It provides up to date information on the latest trends in the management of poisoned patients. If you are serious about toxicology, this book is a must!

I agree with the reviewer from Eugene, Or. Chafer's work is a masterpiece on the grace of God. Like the prophet Jonah we all want God's grace for ourselves but we do not necessarily want it for those whom we hate. Dr. Chafer does a marvelous job of exposing the chracter of God and his Grace and how no one can merit eternal life apart from belief in Jesus Christ.

No one has taken on the Biblical theme of God's infinite GRACE extended to mankind through the Person and work of Jesus Christ, as revealed in the Bible, like Chafer. He has skillfully exposed the simplicity and, at the same time, the depth of this glorious, Biblical theme. This is a book which will cause the reader to spend much more time THINKING about its contents than actually reading. But what a pleasure for the reader!

While reading this book and reading the quotes from some very well known people, I realized that impact and blueprint many of them have left on society. This realization has challenged me in many ways to give more, do more and to listen more. I can truly say this book has caused me to examine myself and to give more of myself to others in a positive and lasting way.

After reading "Haiku For You", I felt the author did a really nice job of incorporating the person's qualities into each poem. She has taken the time and effort to find the right words to suit each person. The only criticism I have is you have to know something about the people to understand the poems. Overall, I would recommend this book to people who like poems or just like to read for fun.

I love both of these books. I wish they would hurry up and translate some more, already!! I discovered them by accident and am finding myself giving them to all my friends. They are funny, silly, and wonderfully surreal, and totally satisfying. I keep reading them over again.

In Harum Scarum, I am reminded of Blood Music, the book where some strange scientific experiment goes waaaay out of control. Except this is much less nihilistic, and in fact the story goes totally over the top in just the right way. It's a kind of anti-Scooby Doo thing: instead of pulling the mask off of old man Carlson -- aw, you gotta read it yourself. I loved it. It was hilarious, a total find.

What makes a comic book a chef-d'oeuvre ? Suspense ? Action ? Humour ? Pretty pictures ? Witty dialogues ? Well, everything and much more appears in Harum Scarum, by one of the best European cartoonists. - The scene takes place in France at the beginning of the century. The someday-famous McConey, a naive student, is unwillingly attracted in zillions of adventures : he'll meet a mad scientist, an ambitious journalist, a rather curious police officer, as well as burglars, snipers, lizard-looking monsters, time-travel machines, terrorists and so on. Amazingly enough, this all makes sense in Trondheim's World, where characters never lose neither their self-control nor their sense of humour. This book may please children of every age, and also adults (even more, maybe) : there's MUCH more in this comic book than in an usual cartoon. You'll be amazed !

The true stories told by the authors in their latest book about miracles are an inspiration for the reader. I looked forward to this latest book in their series on miracles and was not disappointed. After reading it, I bought several more copies to give as gifts.

My co-authors and I have now had a total of five miracle books published, but this last book in the series has been an emotional one for us. Just when we agreed to do our last book on the mysterious and wonderful things that happen when our loved ones die, and how the bonds of love,the feeling of closeness, and the communication can continue, Laura was re-diagnosed with breast cancer. The entire time we worked on these stories, we knoew Laura was dying, and it gave us tremendous comfort to read story after story of the miracle of endless love. Laura herself was deeply comforted, and secure in the knowledge that she was headed towards a wonderful place. She died on November 4, just a few weeks after Heavenly Miracles was published. Jamie and I will miss her deeply, but we treasure the time we've spent together on these books. Enjoy the stories in Heavenly Miracles, and may they be a comfort to you, too.

I was very impressed by Suzanne Lewis' heirloom flower calendar. The cover is especially stunning with the red poppies and pods in the foreground and the background in a softer focus. It is wonderful that someone is making the effort to bring the heirlooms to our attention. The calendar is educational as well as beautiful.

What a pleasure it is to have these antique and rare flowers for us to enjoy each month. The color combinations are like Marc Chagall paintings, very stained glass in effect. Lovely pictures to mark our days.

Fear not. Dive in. This is the sort of book one keeps around for decades.

Books sometimes are like children's clothes - they have to be grown into. This is one of them.

Look for yourself. Avoid others' conclusions. Look for yourself. Like a grown up.

You'll find nothing. And everything.

THE HIERARCHY OF HEAVEN AND EARTH : A New Diagram of Man in the Universe. By D. E. Harding. With an Introduction by C. S. Lewis. 268 pp. Gainesville : University Presses of Florida, 1979 (originally published by Faber and Faber, London, 1952).

The present book has been reprinted a number of times, and I suppose all Douglas Harding fans have at some point acquired a copy of it. After all, Harding Sensei's fantastically important discovery of the spiritual technique of "reversing the arrow of attention" places him squarely in the forefront of the world's spiritual masters, and if a figure such as Bankei can be considered one of Japan's three greatest Zen Masters (the other two being Dogen and Hakuin), I see nothing wrong in considering Douglas Harding as, in a sense, Britain's greatest 'Zen' Master.

Given this, everything Harding Sensei writes ought to be worth reading. Unfortunately, although this was certainly the case with the ORIGINAL manuscript of 'Hierarchy of Heaven and Earth,' the present 'popular' edition of it was so severly cut by Harding himself for publication as to leave it, though still a philosophic masterpiece, impenetrably obscure, and, so far as I am aware, very few readers actually succeed in making their way through the book.

With pretty well all of the great mass of examples and illustrations found in the original extensively annotated 650 folio-sized pages of the manuscript having been cut, the shortened version becomes just too difficult for most folks to follow. Readers who are as brainy as C. S. Lewis should have no trouble, but unfortunately most of us aren't.

Those who would like to read what Harding actually wrote, the original and uncut version of 'Hierarchy of Heaven and Earth,' will have to find the sumptuous facsimile of Harding's typewritten manuscript. At the urging of his colleagues and friends, this was published in a limited edition of 300 numbered copies by The Shollond Trust, London, in 1998. It can be found by searching the web, and a few copies may still be available. Those who have read it have greatly enjoyed it, and have found it to be far more intelligible than the shortened version.

Newcomers to Harding would be far better off starting with his other books, particularly his classic 'On Having No Head : Zen and the Rediscovery of the Obvious' - that is if they are lucky enough to be able to find a copy. It's a short book which gives the quintessence of Harding's approach in just 81 pages, and it provides an excellent foundation for approaching the Master's later books. In fact, it may turn out to be the only Harding book you will ever need.
