This book is well organized and easy to use as a reference. Each chapter has a different author.The topics are varied and well presented. The text is easy to read. The chapters on the body approaches to working with panic were the most interesting for me. I also would point out that after some chapters a listing called "end notes" is included whch provides the reader with sources of further information, and in a few instances a way to contact the author of a given article.

This book was awesome. I have been looking all over for a well developed book on the topic of panic. Now I understand what my brother's panic attacks are all about and can hopefully find a way to cope with him!

This book is deftly written, weaving discussion of modern issues with the co-evolution of scientific and religious thought. I read it for a class, and always read it before any of the other assignments. I highly recommend it!

Review from The Tablet (31 Oct 1998): "The interactionof Christianity and science is more often than not discussed in a historical vacuum. Reconstructing Nature is, therefore, an unusual and stimulating exercise which surveys the interaction over the last 500 years. It produces new insights and challenges some widely held assumptions."

As the number of indiginous societies declines and technology replaces older ways of life, this book celebrates the principles shared by cultures around the world. Editor Shirley Jones has culled bits of wisdom from 240 ethnic groups on every continent, ranging from the restorative power of one's heritage - to making community. The book has a foreword by Brooke Medicine Eagle. - Publishers Weekly Magazine

This collection of thoughts from around the world emphasizes that wisdom is not limited to technologically advanced society but, in fact, is often found most profoundly in the simplest of cultures. The editor has assembled words of many people in a manner that shows clearly how related all peoples are, how our thoughts, emotions, and perceptions are not limited by the physical and cultural barriers we normally perceive, and how humor, grace, and insight light up lives in all cultures.

I have always found Rupert Brooke to be a fascinating poet, so when I was in York and discovered this little treasure (for sale, no less) I bought it. I'd started it a couple of times but never got around to completing the book. Then, I resolutely decided to read it, and I found it completely entrancing. You get something from this book about Brooke that you could never get from a biography: his yearning, passion, anger.... all in his very own words. It was hard for me to put down, and any fan of Brooke's should most definitely look into it.

This book is fantastic and gives a good look into Rupert's relationship with Noel. The incite into Rupert's love life and his feeling for Noel and his friends is worth getting the book alone.

This is an update of a classic controlled composition text. In any form, the basic teaching philosophy is sound and workable. This text is useful to all levels of ESL students, especially those who believe they are proficient writers! This text is an industry standard and should be on any ESL teacher's shelf. The exercises require precision in writing and slowly train the students to watch out for indentation, correct punctuation, capitalization, subject-verb agreement and the like. I use this text in my classes every day and recommend that all teachers of ESL writing and grammar do the same.

I live on the island of Guam and teach ESL to the resident Japanese. One of my students introduced me to this book a year ago and I've used it ever since that date. It is a wonderful teaching tool for "English as a Second Language" students

Brooke Broadbent has done it again with 170 pages of clear and concise instruction written in a way that does not intimidate the new Internet user, yet is accurate enough to satisfy the most sophisticated surfer. I have struggled to find a "textbook" for my Internet classes that instructs while it entertains. The book is for all ages who want to get past that original fear of the Internet while learning the lingo and techniques for making the Internet work for YOU.

For new users of the net, everything you need to know to get you productive is here. It would probably take you a couple of years of trial and error to learn what the book explains. It is written in an easy-to-read style by a non-techie who has obviously learned the hard way!

You'll learn the skills and vocabulary of the net. Lots of exercises and a glossary of terms. A keeper!

I first saw most of these sites when I was fifteen (7 years ago), but Brooke shows them in a whole new way. By photographing them empty of the hoards of people usually in, above, outside, and underneath the city, and using only black and white photography with perfect lighting, he brings a stunning, cool, serenity to the hot, crowded, volatile, emotional city. I happen to love the intense, 90 degree, crowded, tense Jerusalem; those are probably the reasons I have had such a long and passionate love affair with the city, but Brooke's view is not to be missed. In short, buy this book for its unforgettable, striking, devastatingly beautiful images, but get on the next plane to Israel and experience it for yourself as well. I currently only have it on (perpetual) loan from my university library (...because I re-check it out every three weeks), but it is currently on my amazon wish list, and will hopefully join my permanent library soon! Thank you, Steven Brooke, for taking me back to my spiritual home so beautifully.

Like his earlier classic work "Views of Rome", Brooke presents visual poetry of the architecture and monuments of Jerusalem and the Holy Land. The composition and lighting are flawless; the images are stunning and unforgettable. Not just a "coffee table" book, but one to re -visit and appreciate over the years.

I enjoyed this book a lot, as I have other books by Tal Brooke. Thought provoking and interesting study of the internet and it's possible spiritual dimensions.

"When the Giants Came to Town." written by Marcia Leonard and illustrated by R. W. Alley, is a Hello Reader! Level 4 book, intended for Grades 2 & 3. This is an absolutely wonderful book, perfectly suited for encouraging children to read. The book provides a series of stories, all purporting to be actual events witnessed by Grammy when she was a little girl. We get to meet Samson and Rex the giant twins, Stella the sleepy giant, Clem the noisy giant, Ruby the vain giant, Rosco the helpful giant, Lily the giant baby, and Max the forgetful giant. Each in their turn makes their way from the other side of the mountain to where they visit the town and unfortunately things happen. But children will quickly discover that the mischief caused by one giant might end up getting fixed by another giant, and not always intentionally either. As they move from story to story, children will see the connections between what happens in one story and the next and will be encouraged to anticipate what might happen in the following story.

All of the stories are short enough that it is not at all difficult to "read just one more" at nighttime or to go through the entire book at one sitting. The illustrations are charming but still have sufficient detail to encourage children to look them over carefully to see everything there is to be seen. There are also encouragements for parents to read aloud to their children and helpful hints about how to listen to your child read aloud to you as well. "When the Giants Came to Town" is one of the most perfect stories for this age group I have stumbled across in my recent explorations of the joys of children's literature. There are just so many ways it will help make your child a better reader and thinker. I recommend it with unrestrained enthusiasm to children, parents and teachers alike.

This book was very humorous. Each chapter features a different giant and shows them just being themselves. Unfortunately for the neighboring townsfolks, having the giants so close can be somewhat troublesome when they venture into town. I like the way each subsequent chapter of the book builds on the previous chapter's adventures. My daughter really liked the jokes in one of the chapters. She also liked looking through the colorful illustrations to find the people and things that were mentioned in the story. It was kind of like a Where's Waldo book. This book makes a good 2nd grade reader.

101 Essential Tips: Planning a Small Yard delivers just what it promises. Tips on design, perspective, materials, structures and many photos to illustrate the concepts. I highly recommend this book to anyone faced with putting a lot of garden into a small space.
