This book helped get me out of a legalistic group that was draining every bit of life out of me. It brings the love of Jesus into sharpest focus. Before reading this book, I could not love God because I dreaded Him far too much. Read this book, it will change your life! Jesus loves you, and if you trust in Him, you "Shall Never Perish."

This is an awesome book and an amazing Spiritual experience.

... and teachers of the deaf.

Both Peter Denes and Elliot Pinson were communications scientists at Bell Laboratories in New Jersey. Dr. Denes was Head of the Speech and Communication Research Department; Dr. Pinson was Head of the Computer Systems Research Department.

Very useful material: In its own words, this book is "an explanation of processes involved in spoken communication, from the speaker's production of words, through transmission of sound, to the listener's perception of what has been said. The mechanism of hearing is also described."

Highly recommended for teachers, researchers, students, and workers in this field.

I've relied on the Tarascon pocket pharmacopeia as my number one quick reference ever since medical school. It's the most often used book I own. I get a new one every year and use it multiple times each day. Now with the deluxe edition, there's even more info available in this easy to use reference. I keep both versions handy (one copy in the drawer in each of my exam rooms) and highly recommend them.

A relative of mine made the trip to Oregon in 1845 and took the Meek Cutoff. Stories of it abound in the family lore. I was trying to reconstruct some family history and found this book to be valuable - it clarified a great deal about the adventures of those who took that path. It is well written and entertaining as well as full of facts. There must have been an enormous amount of work and research done to complete the book. Highly recommended, especially if you have relatives who made that trip.

Outstanding, authoritative account of early Oregon history

This project is by far the best accounting of the ill-fated 1845 Stephen Meek led wagon train I have ever read. The authors have done an exceptional job in piecing together the tragic events and human errors that contibuted to making this one of the most moving stories from the Manifest Destiny era. The genealogical references alone make this document a must for every family researcher.

This is the first novel to deal with Indira Gandhi's assassination and its aftermath. The writer takes the questions surrounding Mrs Gandhi's murder in 1984 and weaves an intricate mystery that keeps the reader turning the page. The writing is so realistic and the research so meticulous that the reader is left wondering whether this is really a fictional account. In the annals of Indian literature this novel is a first, since it employs mystery, suspense and history as its cornerstones. In addition, it provides a keen insight into the lives of people caught in the maelstrom of 1984 in India. Definitely a must for people intersted in Indian literature and recent Indian history.

A pleasure to read

I went the school at which the author taught. His brother first told me about the book. I quickly purchased a copy and began to read one of the best books Ive been exposed too. The story chronicles the life of Amrita Gill whose parents were murdered in the 1984 delhi riots. She comes too seattle where she lives with her aunt and uncle. Untill one day she meets a man from India that changes her life and leads her to the path to answers questions of her past. This is a gripping book and I suggest it to anyone and if you are from India Punjabi or are interested in Indian history..this book sheds some light on key events that took place

The late Louis E. Lomax (1922-1970) wrote this book shortly after Dr. King's assassination. He traces the path of both leaders. He shows the forces that brought the 2 leaders together on many issues. He also show the opposition forces to these men that materialized into assassins. I recommend that you read this book.

Helpful Votes: 1 out of 1 total.

This book is an excellent little resource for the aspiring romance writer as well as the writer of any genre. The author has many romantic novels to her credit and has written this little tome sharing some of her secrets. She also gives tips on research, putting together your plot and setting, beginning and ending your story, dialogue, and a whole lot more. Probably my favorite chapter of all is her chapter about the excuses writers make for not writing -- she puts together a dozen excuses and then writes several paragraphs about how to knock it off and get over your excuses so you just start writing! Great chapter, I saw myself in a few of those excuses.

Though this book is aimed at helping a writer who wants to write romance, I believe it would be useful to any aspiring writer -- she explores not only getting started and keeping at it, but setting up a writing schedule, writing and keeping your plot moving, creating a setting to capture the reader's attention, and a lot more. She winds up her book near the end with dealing with your publisher & publicity for your book. I consider this book an excellent resource no matter what your writing genre is. Now get writing!

This calender is not great if you want to mark large notes in. There is probably room for a few little reminders. If you are a Trigun fan like I am, you would definatly want to have this calender to look at everyday... the illistrations are just outstanding. Although there are little to none shots of Meryle, Millie, or the other Characters, there is certainly a lot of great pictures of Vash the Stampede and Wolfwood. A good buy overall.

Vedic Mythology By: Arthur Anthony Macdonell
Helpful Votes: 3 out of 3 total.
Review Date: 2005-03-10
I like this one.
Uncommon,enigmatic,and interesting.
Somewhat scholarly,but not stylized. Anything but dry
and fossilized.
Although I hesitate to draw a comparison,somewhat like
a Vedic counterpart to a good Biblical commentary.
Moderately challenging;with page after page of alluring
imagery and anticipation. Not a huge book but has a lot
of intricate content.
Transliterated proper nouns and terms provide some
practice for those interested in Sanskrit;those who
are not will not find it problematic.
These anthropomorphic deities represent early man's
attempt to explain the forces of nature. Like nature
this literary tapestry is unpredictable,beautiful,and
at times cruel.
The quality of vagueness contributes to a sense of
mystery. Yet there is a hint of a fundamental unifying
principle.
Ample selections from the Vedas with commentary
throughout.
Critical thinking and a dash of poetic imagination,this
book might be your cup of tea.
Works equally well as a stand-alone treatment of the
subject,or stimulus for further study.
Has become one of my favorites;I hope you like it too.

Ian Myles Slater on: A Compact Reference
Helpful Votes: 4 out of 4 total.
Review Date: 2004-03-01
This is a systematic presentation of the divine, human, animal and natural (plants, rivers, clouds, etc.) figures in early Sanskrit literature (mainly the Rig Veda, the Atharva Veda, and the early Brahmanas), with the small number of narratives which actually appear in the early hymns, and some information from medieval Sanskrit commentators. (Technically, some of this is in pre-Sanskrit Vedic, not the systematized Sanskrit of the Indian grammatical tradition....)

The much more elaborate narratives of the Epics and Puranas are not treated as such, and it is NOT a presentation of Hinduism as a living religion; those who want either one will be disappointed. The result is in many cases a list of epithets and attributes, and of family members, enemies, and rivals, at considerable remove in style from the lyrics from which the information has been gathered. It is a place to start looking for data, and is a guide to some (hardly all) of the contents of an extremely difficult body of ancient literature.

Although written in English, it was originally published in 1897-1898 as a part of a German publisher's series of monographs on what would now be called Indo-European Studies. Macdonnell was a leading scholar in his time, and his technical studies continue to be cited with respect. The book is now showing its age, and a replacement would be welcome, but as its second century begins it remains extremely helpful. (At least to someone who wants a concise overview of a huge amount of scattered material.) The proportion of hard data to theory is very high. Macdonnell's work was able to survive changing fashions, and, to judge from citations and bibliographies, was used happily by rival schools of interpretation right through the twentieth century. A rather heavy dependence on nature-mythology (especially solar) seems to show direct dependence on the great commentator Sayana as least as much as on Max Mueller's modern extensions of it, as one would expect of the author's mastery of the sources.

The Sanskrit index is quite comprehensive, and supplements the analytical arrangement of the material. Unfortunately, it lacks an index of texts cited. (In frustration at flipping pages to see if Macdonnell had mentioned a passage which did not have a major name, nor a word for which I somehow happened to know the Sanskrit, I once compiled my own index of his Rig Veda citations. I do not recommend this course to others!) The bibliographical material is, of course, long obsolete. The cautious reader will try to check Macdonnell's etymologies against modern works. He seems to have been fairly careful about accepting speculations not grounded in Sanskrit texts (not rushing to identify Vata and Wodan, for example), but of course, even the great Sanskrit grammarians were sometimes wrong....

The copy I have used for years was printed in India, by a different publisher, with a date of 1974. The paper has not stood up well to the passing decades, and I hope that more recent reprintings will prove more durable. As long as a copy is clearly printed and complete, however, and so long as the reader keeps its limits in mind, the book should be an extremely useful tool.
