This book was long time in coming ! Nothing like it exists in the West, nor indeed Japan. The author (Gino Piovesana) an Italian Jesuit spent most of his studies in Japan. The book covers an important period of transitions in Japanese philosophical thought touching upon the influence of Western philosophy (including Marxism) upon the ideas which changed Japanese perceptions of thier modus vivendi.

It encapsulates all the key players and gives a synospis of their philosophies and the authors qualified opinion.... based upon the prevailing currents.

This is an updated rendition to bring the reader into modern thought and recent thinking.

I found this book to be refreshing and quite different from any other biography of Jane Austen which I have read (and I have read many!). Mr. Tucker comes up with a great number of surprising facts that other biographers seem to have missed. The book is also very well-written. It was a disappointment to me to turn the last page and find there was no more. I highly recommend it.

For Ghosts hunters this book is great. it gives it a broad discription of where the ghosts are and what happend to them i've been to all the sights in alabama and they all stand true. I love the book it was good to read and very educational.

I was so pleased to discover this book. It is a great collection of images of important Kingston people and places. The photos are captioned with interesting information. There is even a photo that shows a barn where my garage stands today!

As far as I know, this is the FIRST history of the family garden, also known as the "kitchen" garden and its evolution from a purely practical, food garden to community gardens, self-help programs, etc. From Thomas Jefferson to modern day gardening, this book has it all! Great read, wonderful find for gardeners.

A Lei for Tutu is a lovely book. My daughter enjoyed it immensely. The story is exciting, touching, and educational. I look forward to reading this author's next book.

We bought this map and the "Eyewitness.." map of Rome. The "Let's Go.." was preferred by the group - more detail, easier to read. Both maps lack up-to-date info on the expanded metro, so be sure to get a paper map also when you arrive.

There are 11 major reviews of animals, and over 20 minor reviews. In each of these reviews I found at least one thing that I believed about the animal that was not true. Usually these are major believes which are wrong.

I found the writing style very easy to read and understand. The photographs were very good and very unusual. And the layout of the book was very pleasing to look at and invited the reader inside.

This is a terrific book for kids. I have had it out on my coffee table and children always pick it up and read it.

Thanks for a job well done.

I love this book. It is my favorite one. My favorite sceneis when Ramona was taking her school pitcure and someone said to the picture taker arent you tierd of cheese. And the pitcure taker said,''Yes I am,'' so the pitcure taker said peas instead of cheese.Ramona made a funny face and her pitcure got taken and it came out funny.
