This is a wonderful book. Amazingly in 1989 we were in NC during the time Mr. Toth was working on the monument in Cherokee, which is not in the book that I have. This is a beautiful story of an extra-ordinary man. I feel honored to have "been there" and also to own a copy of this book.

Just as some say that Algol 68 was a language before its time, this book is before its time, too; nowadays it would be far better implemented in electronic form to facilitate its branching nature. (After finishing this review, I think I'll ask the publishers to consider it.)

The book is a thorough introduction to Algol 68, a programming language best known now through its influence on languages that have followed (and, alas, through the negative spin that stuck to it in a way reminiscent of Dan Quayle). Even if you have no intention of programming in Algol 68, this book is worth reading for its clear explanation of things other programming languages leave highly muddled. The good humor of the text--to be expected, since the authors were on the committee responsible for the Report officially defining the language, which is similarly witty--along with its clarity make it a joy to read.

I found Inner Treasures both inspring and beautiful.
The ancient yogic ideas are presented in a simple but powerful way,
making them applicable to everyday life.
Highly recommended to any yogi or spiritual seeker.

If anyone is concerned about the future of America, they should read this book. It contains warnings from prophets of all ages on the future of America if we lose our religious values. I enjoyed the book very much and would recommend it to anyone interested in the future of our country.

This book is one of (if not the best) books on the subject of teen and older child rebellion. It addresses many possible causes and solutions, without placing blame. Good scriptural and practical advice. It is a must-have for parents in this position and counselors of teens and parents.

By far the only book a person needs for a reference when designing a windows based application. I have read this book and us it extensively for all my projects as should most other programmers. Not strictly a programmers book, it was written to be a good reference for anyone involved in the development of a windows application.

A book to be recommended. It has exceptional value.

Its a heart warming love story during the hartships of war in Berlin. It entales the detailed events with daily life of Hidegard's family all through the bombing and family crisises.
The remarcable escape from East- to West Berlin.
It contains very many photos of herself and family. Reading it one can feel involved.
I am glad I have found the book and am now in constant touch with Hildegard.

This book is excellent for those wishing not only to understand the Japji or Japuji, but for a text in both Gurmukhi with English transliteration and translation. Few books have all three. The book is arranged so that the English devotional translation is printed on just one page consistently, so that the English speaking devotee can follow it in a meditative manner without other text impeding the flow of mind. The introduction can be helpful to some persons although it seems a little simplified. A more thorough explanation of the Japji is contained in Gursaran Singh's rendition of Guru Nanak's JAPJI: THE MORNING PRAYER OF THE SIKHS: AN INTERPRETATION IN THE LIGHT OF MODERN THOUGHT, Atma Ram and Sons, Delhi, c1972. The latter incorporates commentary including psychological and sociological interpretations of the Japji's insights into modern conditions and gives a broader theological interpretation of Nanak's thought, making it also a major purchase for a nominal amount; the two books compliment each other. I strongly encourage the purchase of both items for a devotional reading and heartfelt experience.
This book is compiled and transcreated by Kartar Singh Duggal, who has other publications not read by this reviewer. K.S. Duggal is a celebrated and authoritative author. His other works should be also be read for a balanced presentation of Sikh thought and prayer, along with any of Gursaran Singh, mentioned above.

I read this book for a graduate Humanities course. Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, written in 1899 is a seminal work about the ills of colonialism, as well as a postmodern look at the subject of mankind. Conrad's book had a crucial influence on five important works of the twentieth century: J. G. Frazier's book The Golden Bough. Jessie L. Weston's book From Ritual to Romance, T. S. Elliott's poem the Waste Land, Joseph Campbell's Hero with a Thousand Faces, and Francis Ford Coppolla's movie Apocalypse Now, screenplay by John Milius, was based on Conrad's book. Another interesting fact is that this work was read by Orson Welle's Mercury Theater Players on the radio and was to be his first movie. After doing some work on it he abandoned the project to do Citizen Kane! I would have loved to of seen what Welles could have done with this story. Conrad's story is so riveting in part, because he himself served as a riverboat captain. High school teachers and college professors who have discussed this book in thousands of classrooms over the years tend to do so in terms of Freud, Jung, and Nietzsche; of classical myth, Victorian innocence, and original sin; of postmodernism, postcolonialism, and poststructuralism.

Just a taste of the plot reels you in! Marlow, the narrator of Heart of Darkness and Conrad's alter ego, is hired by an ivory-trading company to sail a steamboat up an unnamed river whose shape on the map resembles "an immense snake uncoiled, with its head in the sea, its body at rest curving afar over a vast country and its tail lost in the depths of the land" (8). His destination is a post where the company's brilliant, ambitious star agent, Mr. Kurtz, is stationed. Kurtz has collected legendary quantities of ivory, but, Marlow learns along the way, is also rumored to have sunk into unspecified savagery. Marlow's steamer survives an attack by blacks and picks up a load of ivory and the ill Kurtz; Kurtz, talking of his grandiose plans, dies on board as they travel, downstream.

Sketched with only a few bold strokes, Kurtz's image has nonetheless remained in the memories of millions of readers: the lone white agent far up the great river, with his dreams of grandeur,his great store of precious ivory, and his fiefdom carved out of the African jungle. Perhaps more than anything, we remember Marlow, on the steamboat, looking through binoculars at what he thinks are ornamental knobs atop the fence posts in front of Kurtz's house and then finding that each is "black, dried, sunken, with closed eyelids-a head that seemed to sleep at the top of that pole, and with the shrunken dry lips showing a narrow white line of the teeth" (57).

I especially became interested in Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness from the movie Apocalypse Now. There is a scene in the movie that shows Colonel Kurtz's nightstand in his cave. T. S. Elliott's poem the Waste Land is one of three books on the nightstand. The other two are Jessie L. Weston's book From Ritual to Romance, and J. G. Frazier's book The Golden Bough. Anyone wanting to understand the movie Apocalypse Now, especially the character of Colonel Kurtz, and what Milius and Copolla are trying to tell their audience need to read these three books as well as Conrad's Heart of Darkness!

As a graduate student reading in philosophy and history I recommend this book for anyone interested in literature, myth, history, philosophy, religion and fans of Apocalypse Now.

This book is much more than a book on past life regression. It contains wisdom far beyond the "norm" in regards to our souls purpose here on earth. Meet the Eternals who, channeling through a willing person, tell us how to grow and improve ourselves both outwardly and most importantly, within. Learn how we reincarnate and why. I have met the author, and have spoken to others who know him well, and I believe whole heartedly in the truth and validity of the contents of this book. It "blows me away". Henry Bolduc also includes in his book instructions and script for making your own self hypnosis tape for past life regression. If you want to know more about who you really are, this is the book for you.
