This book realy hits home. It discuses common problems we as diabetics face each day and how they affect our relationships.I gave this book to my wife,parents and in laws to better understand my medical condition. I can recommend the book to all diabetics, and their relatives and friends

in my 18 years as a diabetic this book is the most readable and enjoyable book that I have read. I am sure that life will be easier for me and my family from now on,

My sister has had diabetes for a long time and I've struggled with how I can best support her. This book is excellent, and offers me the guidance I've been looking for. The authors really understand the perspective of family and friends who have loved ones with diabetes. It's easy to read and really enjoyable, too.

It's been awhile since I've done any diabetes-related reading. My son has had type 1 for over 10 years, and I wondered if it was time to revisit some of my patterns I've developed in dealing with him and the condition. I found a number of helpful tips and aids in the book The Secrets of Living and Loving with Diabetes: Three Experts Answer Questions You've Always Wanted to Ask by Janis Roszler, William H. Polonsky, and Steven V. Edelman.

Contents: Hey, Who Invited You?; Even Robin Needed His Merry Men; Diabetes Police and Diabetes Criminals; Like a Pebble in a Pond; Don't Be A Diabetes Couch Potato; Is It Time to Panic?; Testing, Testing, and More Testing!; Does the Checkout Lady Need to Know?; Mind Your P's and Q's; Sex and Other Fun Stuff; Suggested Resources; Index

This isn't a long read (around 180 pages), and the payback for your time is pretty high. The book is written for both those who have the disease and those who live with someone who has it. After covering the material related to the chapter, they end the chapter with two sections. The first is titled "What A Person With Diabetes May Want His Or Friends To Know", and the second one is "What A Loved One May Want The Person With Diabetes To Know". These sections have a small handful of bullet points that relate feelings and emotions that each side would like the other to understand and recognize. If the whole subject of diabetes is one that you have a hard time talking about, these can serve as discussion points with your partner and will help focus the discussion into some productive areas. I realized that I've probably gone too far in one direction in terms of identifying Ian with the disease ("Does the Checkout Lady Need to Know"). I need to step back and understand that some people need to know and others don't. There's also a number of things I'd like Ian to read here, but we all know how hard it can be to get 19 year olds to read something *you* want them to read... :)

I would definitely recommend this book, especially to someone with type 2 diabetes. This can be something that is not taken as seriously as it should be, and having the discussions this book can produce could make all the difference.

The collaborative work of Janis Roszler, William H. Polonsky, and Dr. Steven V. Edelman, The Secrets Of Living And Loving With Diabetes: Three Experts Answer Questions You've Always Wanted To Ask presents an invaluable book dedicated to helping those with diabetes to maintain emotional and loving bonds with others, as well as take an honest and positive look at diabetes in terms of what it is, the upheaval it can potentially create, and the closeness it can inspire. The intimate issues that people need to know about diabetes are revealed with humor, personal anecdotes, soul-searching questionnaires, expert advice, current medical information, easily understood research data, and skill-building exercises with respect to the importance of living with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. In addition to those with diabetes, The Secrets To Living And Loving With Diabetes is also very strongly recommended reading for their loved friends, loved ones, and family members as well.

SisterFriends is a compilation of interviews with African American women regarding the various contributing factors in their relationship with their sisters. SisterFriends answers the question, "What makes a solid relationship".

I have never met any of the women profiled in SisterFriends, but Julia Chance not only made me feel as if we had been introduced, but the interviews are so up close and personal that I feel as if a bond had been forged between the interviewees and myself.

Some of the women are well known like, Mary J. Blige and Iyanla Vazant; others are not as well known, but all of the women have imitated some extremely personal detail of their lives and I applaud them for having the courage to be as open and as honest as they were because not every story is a pretty one.

Some of these very different stories are rather dark, but these women have made it through trying times, such as, the Shabazz sisters. Their mother grew up in a dysfunctional environment and was sexually abused as a child, which ultimately spilled over into the lives of her seven offspring, all of whom have different fathers. Having each other made life in general easier to deal with and because of each other, they have fulfilled dreams and aspirations. Like the Shabazz sisters, most of the women in SisterFriends have overcome great difficulties. What kept them strong during their personal struggle? Was it solely their relationship with their "Sisterfriend"?

At times, we all need someone to lean on and it appears that these women have uncovered the secret to a great relationship with one's same-sex sibling. Sisterhood is a unique type of relationship and each of these women in my opinion has definitely realized what makes for a productive relationship. They have learned to compliment, support, and draw from the strength of one another.

There are a few sisters interviewed who are not blood relatives, but the closeness of their relationship makes them as close as all sisters should be. The author, Julia Chance, has captured the essences of what a relationship should be. The reader can do nothing but benefit from all that the essays in SisterFriends reveal. The stories also point out life's lessons and are inspirational to say the least, this is why I consider this book to be a must read for us all.

I purchased a used book for $9.99 and I received the book in perfect condition. No scratches, no torn pages, no missing pages. Perfect! It only took the company about a week to send the book! It was worth it!

I was reading E.Lynn Harris's book "A Love Of My Own", in it was mention of this book so I went on line to make sure it was a real book and guess what I went brought it and it is just wonderful. I can not say enough. I intend on buying copies for my sisters and my close friends and giving them as gifts.

This is a touching and inspiring book, even for a man. I really enjoyed all of the essays and the photos were beautiful.

This book is inspirational for me because I grew up with six brothers and no blood sisters. I have grown to know that my sister friends are more of a blessing to me, than I initially realized. I have girl friends that fill that void, and it's okay. My friends are also my sisters!!!! I recommend this book for anyone that's ever felt like they didnt have anyone. You realize you have more that you know. Nicole

Vampire books normally are not my thing, but Vanessa Fewings' "Stone Masters" is more than that. She deals deftly with filial conflict, troubled loyalties and generational continuity. She's penned a very gripping story.

Roger L. Conlee, author of "Counterclockwise" and "Every Shape, Every Shadow"

Just when you thought you knew everything about our immortal friends, VMK Fewings gives us a new take on the beloved vampire genre. Set against an English backdrop, spanning centuries and laying to rest dozens of mere mortals, she weaves a captivating story of love, power, grief and deception. Vengeful vampires wage war against the Stone Masters, a secret society sworn to protect the innocent from the bloodthirsty night stalkers. I highly recommend this fast paced thriller with lots of action and plenty of unexpected twists and turns. Looking forward to the next one...

I began Ms. Fewings novel in the early evening and finally finished around four in the morning. I was just unable to put it down until I reached the very last page. She brings to us an entirely new take on the vampire genre. Her use of visualizations gives you a movie in your head.

Even though it's a dark, gothic vampire story, there's a lot of joy and passion in the writing. It's obvious that the writer really enjoys this subject matter and had a good time writing the novel -- because that joy and entertainment flows to the reader. It's a good read for the casual horror reader, the devoted vampire fiction fan or anyone looking for a good yarn.

Streams of Silver picks up pretty much where the last book, The Crystal Shard, left off. Bruenor (a dwarven leader, by blood the king of the Battlehammer clan), Drizzt (a self-exiled drow elf) and Wulfgar (a young barbarian) set out on a quest to find Mithril Hall, ancestral home of Bruenor and his clan. Shortly after they leave, they are also joined by Regis (a halfling) - although they suspect that he is running from something, rather than running to join them on their quest.

Running he certainly is, from Artemis Entreri, a deadly human assassin, who is tracking Regis to return a stolen gem to the leader of a southern Thieves Guild. Catti-brie, Bruenor's adopted human daughter, becomes Artemis' hostage. To complicate matters further, an evil mage seeks Drizzt to locate the crystal shard, a powerful artifact which was the subject of the last book. Deciding that cooperating would be mutually beneficial, the mage dispatches his apprentice, a golem (think of a Frankenstein-like creature of incredible size and strength, but completely mindless), and a soldier to help Artemis.

The road for the four friends, then, is fraught with peril, fighting barbarians, bog-men and trolls to name a few, along the way. While they do gain some allies of questionable help, they must also encounter the extreme prejudice leveled against Drizzt on account of his dark elven heritage.

Salvatore brings us another rousing tale of high adventure and endearing characters, while introducing a powerful evil mirror of Drizzt in the form of Artemis Entreri. Salvatore skillfully immerses us in his world, and keeps enough suspense going throughout the book to make it very difficult to put down. Further, his character study of Drizzt throughout many of his books (this one included) brings us to an in-depth understanding of this complicated, tortured soul who has abandoned the evil ways of his people, only to have to come to terms with the evil of prejudice on the surface.

I highly recommend this book (although it might be best to start with The Crystal Shard for a better understanding).

This is part of a great series that continues the legendary tale of Drizzt a drow elf in the upper world that fears the very existence of his race.

this was one of the best. written well with a great plot and adventure. check it out. very entertaining.

Wow. This is the best fantasy since Lord of the Rings and way easier written. Though Tolkiens world is undeniably the best ever written it is much harder to read. Streams of silver by R.A. Salvatore takes you in depth in a world written in layers of imagination. Drizzt's unending strugle of who he is go's to the extreme whence he meats a shadow of who he might have been. This book is a must have for fantasy readers.

First of all, i'd like to say this saga is the best one I have ever read. To begin with the adventure, the companions who set off for the mithral halls were wonderful, and Drizzt is more powerful than never before.

The landscapes are gorgeous as well as the Salvatore's descriptions. I'd follow the back cover advice: "If you read only one fantasy novel in your life time. Let it be this one"

Amazing story

This book was really great. Once I started reading I couldn't stop. It really takes you to a whole other level. You get so excited , that you just don't want it to end.

I read this book in about a day and half, The stories were funny and engaging!! great work ZANE and company.

I always enjoy Zane and this one was no different. I was left with my mouth watering after each story! Great!

well... Zane has done it again! She puts together one hell of a compilation of some of the sexiest, steamiest, hottest, and erotic stories yet. Zane has a definate talent to write erotica but she also has a talent for CHOOSING the right author and story to go in her anthologies. It took me about a week or so to read this book because I only read the stories before I would go to bed. I don't think I could read this collection during the day because... well... you figure it out! :-)

Some of the stories were exceptional, some were great, others good, and others still ok. There weren't any bad ones. Below are the ratings I gave for each story. They are based on a scale from 1-10, 10 being the best. I really loved the ones put in by Zane. She ends the collection with her own work and it's like whipped cream on top of whipped cream. A collection you can't and should not miss!

Truly amazing stuff, well written and red hot. I love this short story genre, there's no messing about, just action. A must for all erotic short story lovers. Also check out Carol Queens Five Minute Erotica and the absolutely amazing 100 Percent Erotica By Suzie Van Aartman which is without doubt one of the sexiest books ever written.

It is awonderful book. I loved the recipes. GREAT BOOK TO GIVE AS A GIFT.

The other day I went through my cookbooks, to see if I could weed some out, because I have too many to mention. It's hard getting rid of a cookbook, especially one with a few recipes in it that you've come to love. But I've scanned the recipes I need to keep forever into my MacBook. However, there were an even dozen I couldn't part with. These are books I turn to time and time again, even though I consider myself somewhat of a gourmet chef.

THE SUGAR MILL CARIBBEAN COOKBOOK is one of the ones I just had to keep, if only for the "Beach Breakfast" recipe right at the beginning of the book on page 4. Ms. Jinx is oh so right when she says the "spicy combination of Caribbean black beans and eggs give any morning a zingy lift-off." But, of course, you don't keep a cookbook for only one recipe, but not to worry, there is plenty more in this wonderful cookbook, like the "Lobster or Crab Eggs Benedict". Now that's a wonderful menu for a Sunday brunch and it goes perfectly with a Bloody Mary.

But please don't think this book is just about breakfast just because I chose to highlight a couple of good ones. If you want a satisfying, but not overfilling evening meal, try the "Fish with Coral Sunset Sauce" on page 122, it is simply divine. Then there is the "Pan-Seared Scallops with Tomato-Mango Salsa" on page 133, or the "Garden Patch Pasta" on page 102 and I better stop here, because I could go on and on, gushing about the wonderful recipes in this cookbook, but I think you have the picture by now. I really love this book, probably because every recipe in it is to die for.

I had been eyeing this book for quite awhile, for more than a year actually, because my husband and I were going to the BVI for our honeymoon. When we finally went on our honeymoon, through dumb luck and fate, we got a room down the road from the Sugar Mill, and we decided to go to their famous restaurant for a night out. That night out turned into one of the most fantastic, memorable dining experiences we'd ever had... The night was like something out of a fancy movie. Blown away by the food, I bought the cookbook at the gift shop after dinner. Flipping through it in the hotel, I almost couldn't wait to go home and try out some of their recipes. I ended up scribbling down drink mixes we had when we went out and about town in the BVI, so this cookbook has turned into a honeymoon food scrapbook for me.

Now, I know that back story makes me a little biased, but I have to say that even if I just bought it without going to the restaurant, I'd still think this cookbook is superb. It's so clearly written and each recipe has a little paragraph "bio" associated with it discussing either its creation, history, or interesting info on the ingredients or the tradition behind the food. That little paragraph adds to the local color and feel that resonates through this whole cookbook. You can almost taste and feel the Caribbean when you read this book. Another thing I really like is that this book will give you the recipe as it's served at their restaurant, adding to the authentic feel of the book... But the book also acknowledges that some of the ingredients easily available to them in the BVI might be hard to impossible to find on the mainland, so they give you feasible substitutions that don't hurt the taste or presentation at all. Also included are little blurbs on the various Caribbean islands, customs, or other interesting facts.

I'd say most of these recipes are what I like to call "grown-up recipes." Meaning, not all of them you'll throw together in 30 minutes, that these recipes are sophisticated, adult foods that will probably require a little planning and time, perfect for special occasions (or a nice dinner you'd like to feel like a special occasion). I know this is a big negative for some people, but for me it's nice to own a recipe book that involves some serious cooking. I own far too many cookbooks with recipes that call for throwing together various canned soups and canned vegetables, or other processed foods like Bisquick or freezer rolls, and baking it for 30 minutes, and serving. It's nice to have a recipe book that doesn't include 45 different ways to use "cream of" Campbell's soups, and talks about cooking with things like star fruit and plantains and all sorts of exotic fruits and ingredients you see at the grocery store and wonder "I wonder what you use that for?" :D This is certainly a "from scratch" cookbook, not a "30 minute meals" sort of deal.

The categories in this book are: Sunrise Specials (breakfast foods), Snacks, Nibbles, and Island Appetizers, Carnival of Soups, Calypso Salads and Side Dishes, Pastas Under the Palms, From the Fish Pot (seafood), Birds of Paradise (poultry), Tropical Meat Waves (all other meat), Sugar Island Sweets (desserts), and Trade Wind Cocktails (an essential for summer parties as it's the drink recipes... :D). Some of my favorite recipes are curried citrus rice, christophene and sausage filled flank steak, lime cream pasta, pina colada pancakes and cake (the latter being my husband's new favorite birthday cake), lobster chowder, and conch chowder. And I have a list of "need to try" recipes from this book as long as my arm.

I love this cookbook. It's the BVI wrapped up in a 245 page book. There are only two downsides as far as I can see to this book... The first one being that it doesn't include this awesome drink recipe that we had while we were there and are just dying to have again but nobody knows how to make... And the second being that every time I cook something from it, my husband and I remember how much fun we had and how beautiful this restaurant was, and then we start missing Tortola terribly... :)

My husband and I both love to cook and we picked up this cookbook shortly before our carribean cruise to introduce ourselves to the cuisine. We haven't stopped using the book since. The recipes are easy to follow and a great selection. The ingredients are for the most part easy to find or substitute for. I've won several cook-offs with recipes from this book, the rum glazed ribs and black bottom banana pie is to die for.

I live in the Florida keys and foods from the islands of the caribbean are all over the islands, however, this book of recipes by far expands ones selection of choices. The recipes are well written for following instructions easily. the added info in the side bars is interesting and easily put to use with other recipes in the book. If you like food from the islands, all the islands of the caribbean, this book is a source for a quick trip to the island of your choice.
I lost my first copy to Wilma (the huricane). Had to buy another because this book is that good. But it, you'll love it! ;-)

Tarzan like you've never seen him is expanded upon and portrayed in living color by dynamic graphic artist Joe Kubert, who produces a vivid set of tales and provides archived drawings with color restoration based off of Tatjana Wood's original colors. This collection reprints the first eight issues of Joe Kubert's classic Tarzan comic series: works done at the height of his career. Two audiences will relish this collection and must own it: Kubert fans, and Tarzan fans. Each will find the full-color presentation provides high-quality reproduction and an uninterrupted set of adventures. Very highly recommended: a classic keepsake.

This is a book for which I've waited decades, having grown up on the Kubert DC books. Very well made and edited, this collection of DC Tarzan issues would go along quite well on the shelf with DC's Archive books. Whether you are a Tarzan fan or an afficianado of DC's Silver Age, you would do well to check out this book. Of course, if you are a fan of both, I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir, and you have already acquired this wonderful edition Dark Horse has offered us. Buying this was a no brainer, and my only question was why it took so long to get published, when the Manning stuff had already been reprinted years ago. If only those had been released in a volume as beautiful as this! Perhaps it's not too late to get the Horse to release the Hal Foster strips in a similar fashion to this Kubert collection. Are you listening, DH?

This wonderful collection of legendary artist and storyteller, Joe Kubert is a must have for hardcore Tarzan fans. I cut my teeth on these comics way back in the early 70's as a young boy.(I still have all of the original editions!)

There are only a few number of artists that could truly capture the primitive and primordal great Tarzan. Only Neal Adams, Russ Manning and the late great Conan artist, John Buscema could actually draw the apeman.

But Joe Kubert had a style all of his own. With backgrounds and rough-like sketches that made Tarzan and the jungle around him actually permeate right through the comic pages, Kubert could totally transport you to Africa and high adventure of yesteryear. Classic in every sense of the word.

Thank God for Joe Kubert. And his sons have also become fantastic artists all their own.

Now, if only ONE Hollywood movie could finally capture the true essence of Tarzan the Apeman, then the Tarzan phenomenon would begin all over again. Perhaps someday...

The four part adaptation of the first Tarzan novel was well written and well drawn and Kubert's love of the source material is evident.
The writing and art are so fluid and vibrant that these stories seem as though they were published last year and not more than thirty years ago. The adaptations are strong and detailed, and hold up much better than the more abreviated adaptations of Robert E. Howard's Conan story adaptations for Marvel, done around the same time.

I would point out that the four part adaptation is something rare for a comic book from the 1970's, which generally kept to a two part story at the longest, so Joe was allowed plenty of breathing space to do justice to the original book.

I don't understand the $50 price tag on DC's (and now Darkhore's) archive editions. THe price seems so exesssive for such a small offering of 200+ pages. One wishes Darkhorse could have added a few more issues into this volume, but worth the cover price regardless.

Way back in 1929 Edgar Rice Burroughs' "Tarzan of the Apes" was adapted in newspaper comic strip form by illustrator Hal Foster. A full-page Sunday strip began in 1931 drawn by Rex Mason, and since then Burne Hogarth, Russ Manning, and Mike Grell have been some of the big names that have drawn the Lord of the Jungle. The only problem is that I never lived anywhere that had Tarzan in the Sunday comics, so for me Joe Kubert is THE artist that I associate with Tarzan. By the time Kubert's took over the book with issue #207 of "Tarzan of the Apes" (April 1972), I had read all of Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan novels, so even though I was only buying Marvel comics at that time when I saw the 1st DC issue with its 52 BIG pages ("Don't take less! Only 25c), I picked it up and Kubert's faithful four-part adaptation of the first ERB novel sold me on the comic. After all, not only did you have the first 26-page part of the adaptation, but an introduction to ERB in "The Dum-Dum" (written by "Marvin Wolfman"), which would be the book's letters page, an adaptation of "Tarzan's First Christmas" from Hall Foster's December 27, 1931 Sunday strip, and the first chapter of an adaptation of ERB's "A Princess of Mars" starring John Carter by Murray Anderson. What more could an ERB fan possibly hope for in one comic book?

What we have in "Tarzan: The Joe Kubert Years, Volume 1" are the Kubert's first eight issues, #207-14. Prior to this time I had associated Kubert with his work on "Sgt. Rock," but his distinctive style was perfect for Tarzan. The story begins with a safari being attacked by a panther and Tarzan showing up out of nowhere to save a pretty young blond woman in a pith helmet. Her guide then tells the story of "The Origin of Tarzan of the Apes," starting in 1888 when a ship left Dover, England, with John Clayton, Lord Greystoke, and his wife Lady Alice. The first chapter covers the birth of Tarzan, the death of his parents, how he came to be raised by Kala of the great apes, and his battle to the death with Bolgani, his rival in the tribe. "A Son's Vengeance" (#208) is where Tarzan learns to read and that he is not an ape but a "man," and avenges the death of Kala when she is killed by a "hairless ape." "A Mate for the Ape-Man" (#209) begins with Tarzan defeating Kerchak and Terkoz, before leaving the tribe to find his destiny as a man. This is where we pick up the story with Jane Porter, her father Professor Porter, her fiance William Clayton (Tarzan's cousin), and the rest of their abandoned expedition, up to the point where Tarzan rescues Jane from Terkoz. "Civilization" (#210) finds Tarzan spending some quality time with Jane, but then rescuing D'Arnot from the natives and finally learning how to speak French (he already reads and writes in English). In the end he tracks down in America, learns she is about to be married to William and his own true identity as the real Lord Greystoke, and refuses to ruin her future.

Kubert is faithful to the action and the dialogue, such as Tarzan's final line, and does not have a problem drawing the young Tarzan as running around naked (drawn strategically, of course) until the point in the story where he gets his first loin cloth. The pace of the story really picks up in the final part: the first three sections covered the first 156 pages of my paperback edition of "Tarzan of the Apes," while the fourth chapter covers 89 pages (I have the page numbers written on the back covers of my original comic books). But since the whole last section is about Tarzan NOT getting Jane, while getting educated so that he finally speaks English too, there is not a lot of real action after the opening pages. The framing device of the guide and the blonde is finally resolved (no, she is not Jane, just another white woman who has lost her father in the jungles of Africa), and allows Tarzan to make the point that the jungle is more civilized than the real world. So the set up for the comic book is not Tarzan and Jane, but the time before our hero gets domesticated. This makes sense since ERB regretted the relationship between Tarzan and Jane (he thought La, High Priestess of Opar was a better match), and even killed Jane off at one point in the series.

The other four issues contained here suffer by comparison, but then anything would. "Land of the Giants" (#211) involves an evil little man named Kalban and the Kolosans, a race of giants. The little guy drinks their forbidden water and grows to be a giant as well, but by the time you get to the end of this one, where Tarzan battles a monster giant gorilla on top of a flying airplane, you are praying Kubert will get back to ERB's original stories. That happens with "The Captive" (#212) and the next two issues after that, all of which are taken from the "Jungle Tales of Tarzan," which happens in the same time frame as the first half of the first novel. This one features a great cover of Tarzan taking down a rhinoceros, and the story is about how the natives capture Tarzan and he calls Tantor on them. "Balu of the Great Apes" (#213) is a nice little story about Tarzan protecting a balu (baby) of his tribe and finding his place as their leader. "The Nightmare" (#214) is the story of what happens the first time Tarzan eats cooked meat and it disagrees with his stomach. So, except for that non-ERB inspired story in #211, this is a solid collection of Kubert doing Burroughs. I would not say that it is downhill from here, but rather than things are never as geaat as this awesome start.

I am very happy!!! I got an additional $12.00 savings by the time the book arrived. My university wanted $98.00 for the book & that is not including tax. I was able to save $38.00, NOT TO MENTION THE TAX i SAVED.
Thank you Amazon & nward!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : )

Great book, great shipper. Came fast and I am happy with the whole purchase.

I had to buy this textbook last year, as I was getting my teaching endorsement in Special Education. It is a good text, although mostly only useful if you are studying this for ceritification (I haven't used since I've been teaching).

This book is an excellent resource for all special education teachers. I especially recomment it for new teachers because it basically covers, in depth, the information that a first year teacher needs to organize their classroom, implement programs for facilitating teaching (e.g. peer tutoring,setting up reading and math programs, etc.).
It is a very challenging because of the amount of information covered. It teaches approaches to language arts and math (e.g. a concrete, representational, abstract approach to teaching math). It encourages and discusses ways to make teaching a more hands on approach to learning. I love it!

I have always used Cecil's book in my own research in developing materials. It is written clearly, is regularly updated, and presents sound thinking for special educators. If you work with students with learning and/or behavioral problems, this book is essential.

I READ THE ORIGINAL BOOK WHICH WAS SOLD OVER 10 YEARS AGO. THIS ONE HAS A DIFFERENT SUBTITLE AND PRINT DATE. HOWEVER, I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK HIGHLY TO ANYONE WHO IS PREPARED FOR ITS CONTENTS. THIS IS NOT A CHILDRENS'BOOK; IN MY OPINION, IT IS FOR THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN THE HUMAN PSYCHE. READERS/PRACTIONERS OF THE CRAFT OF THE WISE - THIS IS A MUST READ! ONE MUST READ AND ABSORB WHAT R.J. STEWART HAS WRITTEN, FOR IT WILL DEFINITELY MAKE YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR OWN TRANSFORMATIONAL PROCESSES. I CAN DESCRIBE PARTS OF THIS BOOK AS AN ELIXER FOR THE SOUL. WHEN ONE HAS EXPERIENCED THE 'DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL', AND EMERGED AS A STRONGER, WISER PERSON. I FEEL THIS IS A SHAMANIC TRANSFORMATION R.J. WALKS US THROUGH. THERE IS NO FLUFF HERE; IT IS FOR THE SERIOUS AND EDUCATED READER. TRULY A CLASSIC!

This is one of best books on fay tradtion i would check the rest of his books.I found that it has alot of useful infomation
and the book is not very bias which is nice to see in a book. Worth every penny.

R.J. Stewart stands alone as the premiere voice and exponent for the profound inner teachings and "mysteries" of the faery tradition. All others before have not had the capacity or ingenuity with which to speak so clearly; all others after him will forever have to refer to his astonishing work in this book. Where the finite limitations of speech and the constrictions of cultural conditioning governed the likes of the late Scottish seer, Rev. Robert Kirk, R.J. Stewart has presented an energetic blueprint for understanding this empowered tradition, which lies like a subterranean kingdom beneath the ordinary reality. I found this work, and all of R.J.'s works involving what he calls the UnderWorld tradition, to be refreshing, potent, and also a relief at one point, as his section on the purgative and cathartic process of an awakening seer was quite validating. In essence, I recommend R.J.'s other two books in order (EARTH LIGHT and Power Within the Land), and then stepping into this astonishing work.

Should be read by anybody interested in the Faery tradition, or on any occultist's shelf, really, even if they don't know that as their interest, the material ties in to all Western esoteric traditions. Its serious, scholarly, enjoyable, and transforming. You'll find yourself rereading and referencing this book, the same way it is frequently an "occult book author's author" - skip the middle-person - read the real thing. Its better.

If you're interested in the faerie world, and the foundations of western mystery traditions, this isn't just a "must-read," but a "must-own." You'll refer to this book over & over again.

Stewart covers a lot of highly technical ground in this book, which is more a textbook than recreational reading for most people. He provides detailed explanations of the Underworld (and Otherworld) and the design of the realities you'll encounter there. He relates this to the Tree of Life (Qabalah), and several other spiritual contexts, so that you can "connect the dots" with your own and others' religious backgrounds.

Stewart's "Underworld Narrative" (guided meditation) in the back of the book is annotated with explanations and tips. They're fascinating. Reading them makes the journey far richer than simply using one of his excellent tapes.

He's opinionated and well-researched. Not everyone will agree with him, or even like him. But, the information that he shares in this book is tremendously important if you plan to explore Otherworld realities. If you're intrigued by the faerie realm, this book will save you years of frustration, trying to understand how to get there, how to remain there comfortably, understand what you're encountering, and how to get back.
