A Hilariously funny - and nasty.

I can't even put it in words how brilliant this book is it's a mastepiece!!! I've read this book so often that I can't keep the count and I never get bored of it. Blanche Knott is a genius =)

Don't be fooled into buying a no-name joke book. Trust this one, one of the best

I have read about 50 POW escape books, most from WW2. This guy was tough. Most of the escapers are amazing people. I think most the escape books have more humor than this one. Richard Pape wasn't about being funny he was determined to escape at all costs.

I just finish Richard Papes' novel about his exploits as a POW in Europe during WWII. He has a great ability to tell not only his story of survival and wartime intrigue but those of the Poles and other eastern Ethics group. If you ever needed a pick me in today's fast pace world this book is it.

True story first person page turner about a British RAF pilot shot down during WWII and his accounts of being captured, escaped, captured again and escaped for a third time. Brillantly written, taking you on an across occupied Europe underground suspence story of bravery and heroism

This book has fabulous illustrations and good text. A wonderful selection for anyone into myth and legend.

This is an excellent book for all ages. It is highly illustrated with many different types of mythilogical creatures. These categories include: mythical birds, dragons and serpents, half-human creatures and mythilogical animals. The only problem is that it is fairly expensive for it's size but it's worth it. I paid $25 for it, well I should say my dad did but anyway it is an excellent book.

This is a truly amazing book. The artwork is superb and the text is excellent. It combines legends from Babylon, Greece, Phoneican, Egyptian, Welsh, Scottish and English legends all crammed into one excellent and comprehensive guide. I can't say how great this book is. Just buy it and you will see

TO ALL YOU AMERICANS OUT THERE. I'M TELLING YOU, THAT THIS BOOK IS THE GREATEST. AND THAT YOU SHOULD ALL GO OUT AND GET A COPY OF YOUR OWN. AND YOU'LL SEE HOW GREAT OF A WRITER WINSLOW ELIOT IS. I'VE READ THIS BOOK 6 TIMES. IT'S AWESOME!!! GET UP AND BUY THE BOOK, HOPEFULLY THEY WILL MAKE A MOVIE OF THE BOOK. IT'S THE BEST!!!

THIS BOOK IS THE BEST BOOK I'VE EVER READ, AND I COULDN'T GET ENOUGH OF IT AND SO I READ IT FOUR TIMES IN 5 DAYS. I WAS SO ADDICTED TO IT. I THINK THE AUTHOR DID A GREAT JOB WITH THE LOVE SCENES AND JUST THE WHOLE BOOK ITSELF WAS THE GREATEST. I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ALL READERS IN THE WORLD. IT'S THE BEST!!!

I found this book to be very fast reading and makes me want to keep reading it so I can find out what is going to happen next. I hope this author is going to write some more books

At over for feet high, the finished building is one of my prized possessions. I found mine at a flea market and, as the book was old, the center crease in the pages needs particular attention to avoid a pronounced ridge at about the fortieth floor. Reinforce the crease from behind and press it flat and it should come out ok. The addition of some foil trim at the top make for a really sharp model of the landmark.

this book has everything you need to have a hard days work using your hands....alot of fun, and well worth the effort in the end! great book and author!

I wish this book would go back into print. It is a very high-quality puzzle-type exercise. Took a couple of weeks and was never boring. Complete with a King Kong... Used to keep my completed version in my office until the cleaning lady smashed it by accident...

"It would take half the page to do justice to this ferociously funny novel... The imperturbable malice Admiral Gallery uses to spoof everything from the way the Navy is run to the poverty program is an exercise in risible ingenuity. This is one of the most hilarious sugar coatings over hard core of fact I have read and if it isn't made into a movie or serve as the nucleus for a TV series, there is no justice!" -- Jefferson Parish Times, Metairie, LA

Dan Gallery has captured the less seen side of military service - the people in uniform living their day to day lives. This book is a real gem for its humor and playfullness. A great read. Having been one, I couldn't stop laughing at the antics of American sailors.

The instructions are excellent, all of the templates are included, and the end results are attractive & unique. You don't have to be an exceptional artist to make these cards, and basic supplies (rubber cement, scissors, & colored paper) can be used for all of the patterns. You can also easily vary the designs with different patterns/types of paper or add that extra touch with lettering. The cards can be used for all occasions or no occasion, and cover all four seasons and major holidays. A wonderful addition to any library--I would recommend it for all skill levels.

Card givers desiring a more personal touch than Hallmarks or the computer can produce will find Sandra Lounsbury Foose's Card Shop packed with fresh new ideas for handmade cards. From a basic introduction to paper and supplies for ideas for year-round greetings, Card Shop includes ornament cards and bookmarks and provides an excellent, well-rounded set of project ideas.

I have made about half of the cards in this book at least once since I bought it in January, and I look forward to making some more. In fact, I just finished making all of my Christmas and Hanukkah cards from patterns in this book, and they came out pretty well. Most of the patterns lend themselves to personal touches, which keeps things interesting and allows you to get more mileage out of them.
I do, however, recommend a light box for making these cards. I got a cheap one for about $10. The light box gives you two advantages: one, you don't have to cut up your xerox copies of the patterns, which prevents you from losing the little pieces. Two, it's much easier to line up the placement of cutting lines, embellishments and the like.
The only complaint I have about this book is that some of the cards come out a little small. To remedy this, I set the copier to an enlargement setting, resulting in larger patterns.
I look forward to getting much more use out of this book!

We bought this cathedral for a school project in Dec. 2005. My son's 6th grade teacher assigned the Notre Dame Cath. to him. We heard you could use a model kit... We thought we were on easy street. HA!!! This thing was a monster, but after a while , it kinda became a good monster. We spent some time together in the evenings cutting, glueing and talking. I believe it has some Good Karma, But now we don't have room to display it. It's for sale, here at Amazon .com(9-18-2006}
I have done some wood working, built a kayak, iceboats and scale model ships. This was the first "card stock" I've done. The book comes with a fold out floor plan that you assemble the cathedral on. On the reverse side of it are pix of stages of construction. I took digital pictures of the reverse side for later referense. Because I wanted to glue the floor plan to a flat foam board, for a firm stable base to build on. Then after cutting and triing to assemble the first stage inner walls, I decided to cut foam board to line this whole assembly. With the added support, it was easy to keep things square so all exterior pieces fit nicely. We did not quite finish, there are the highest flying buttresses and some arch detail to complete. I believe we have 80 man hous into this piece. Email me if you have question or want to see the digital pix. Bob G.

you'll run, not walk to buy this model. It is very well designed and easy to understand. Construction takes a bit of patience, but you won't mind as you watch the Gothic spires and buttresses take shape as the Cathedral rises before you. We made a pilgrimage to Chartres after the September attacks and found solace in this very pure Gothic wonder. The book has nice black and white photos, and of course, the glorious 13th century stained glass is not represented well, but a visit to Chartres itself would fix that.

This model kit is absolutely fantastic! It is a very involved, accurate portrayal of the cathedral. I have an interest in Art History, and have always had a soft spot for Chartres. When I saw this model I just had to have it! It is a fairly complex model with many detail pieces. Sturdy paper board. Overall, worth the money! Not a weekend project. This is a long term hobby! I just love mine.

I enjoyed this edition of Chicken Soup as much as i have enjoyed others in the past. I would say however, that unless you're a scrapbooker (or somehow attached to one!), we may seem like we're all just a wee bit off! but get this to discover another hobby through great stories

I really loved this book. I even bought one for my best friend. We scrapbook together so each of these stories touched us in a special way.

I love this book! My fiance got me into scrapbooking a year ago and when I found out this book was coming out, I knew I had to have it to go with my newfound hobby. I can relate a bit to some of the stories. It should be in every scrapbookers supplies.

Without Jung's research and intense desire to know the realm of the psyche, greek word for soul, we would never have the ability to see cognate the workings in our modern world. Jung's descriptions of the archetypes allows us to formulate the proper questions which were posed by all great civilizations of the past. Most greeks never read Plato, nor were concerned about the dialogues. Same in our culture, most universities and the established psychology institutions do not accept Jung and even go so far as to discredit *the mystic alchemist*, as writing *dubious spiritualism*.
Those few of us who do embrace the spirit of man as part of the one true spirit of God, we find Jung to be a God send in these times of trouble and darkness (Gas now $4.20/gal!!!).
With america being about 60% atheist and the learning institutions about 90%+ atheist, Jung has not so far been given a fair hearing, nor ever will. Jung emphasizes throughout all his writings, *without depth (spiritual) experience, my concepts are just ink on paper) As we know atheists have no spiritual experience thus are officially excluded from all of Jung's intuitive insights.
Having said that, this new 2008 book of his 1936-1940 seminar has shown a side to Jung which i have not seen as yet in my 20 yrs of Jungian study.
Though Jung shows a profound insight into the general laws of the psyche when it comes to specific detailing certain dream symbols in the draems of the children, I have reservations and even will go so far as to say I have strong disagreements on many of Jung's assumptions of the dreams meanings.
Jung as we know was head strong and once he was locked into a discursive mode like old Socrates, there was little anyone could say edgewise when Jung had the floor.
Jung himself though would wanted us , his heirs to not just swallow everything he said , but in fact to question everything he said. Jung intensely desired his closest students to raise new insights built upon his researches.
Trust me, this new found perspective within me, has even surprised myself. For 2 decades Jung has been for me a icon and a master, at times unapproachablly deep so as not to be questioned. Jung always towered over my mind where I felt very small next to him. I think it was my recent peak at Philo of Alexandria that brought my mind closer to Jung's level.
Now I do find myself at odds with some of his dream allegories. .
Keep in mind Jung was writing in 1936, when as yet there were hardly any solid references which Jung could draw from. In the past 80 years we have access to a wider range of info, at laest for those like myself who know how to use that info.
Jung in his old age,once commented to Von Franz , he would have re-written all his books, except Answer To Job. Now I can understand why he made that statement, after reading a few of his comments in this dream seminar. Now I can see that Jung was human after all. Though obviously still god-like, bright shinning, to my level of consciousness.
In spite of my at odds with Jung here, looking over the signifiance of collected works for blind modern man , we know that God does not leave mankind in total darkness, but can speak to whomever will listen. Jung listened and fulfilled the role of prophet. A timely function that the church neither would nor possibly could fulfill. She is engrossed too much with dogmas and doctrines to be able to see and reflect the light of the soul's journey. The *sexual instinct* (I prefer to define as the romantic instinct for love . sex is something animals like dogs perform, humans have the POTENTIAL to make love) continues to be misundestood by the church. Jung finally brings Freuds great error into perspective. Which is that sex among humans should ideally be a ways to acheive spirituality, that is birth of love in the soul.

* I am more than sure, of all my reviews which have mostly votes of *no*, this one will never geta yes, but only accumulate countless *No* votes.
Was Jung's ideas ever welcomed? I expect no less.
EDIT:
Having read up to page 100, I went and skimmed through the other 400 pages.
Now its clear why prinston came out very late with this book. Its not Jung at his best, in fact rather dubious and rambling. There's questionable dream material be begin with. Take the dream on page 135 froma 4 to 5 yr old boy *lazy smile* description of a figure in the dream. can you imagine a 4 yr old boy describing a dream image as *A MAN WITH A LAZY SMILE*
Many other places as well. Jung even says things that where next sentence he backs off and re-arranges the idea.
I began having questions on some of Von Franz's material as of last week, after I completed the collection of all her books. She says things which I find to be contridictory and confusing.
I am beginning to re-evalute all of Jung. Something which I would never have imagined in my lifetime. Jung was a *god* for me.
Amazing how the mind when fed on ancient mysticism as presented by Philo can open ones eyes and shed light on Jung.
Jung indeed offers much insight into man's illness. Yet months before Jung passed away he told Von Franz, *I have hit a ceiling, I can go no futher*
I know why he became *stumped* and hita *dead end*
Jung continually emphasized that his work was no more than a beginning and that others after him would have to take up that path which leads to truth and knowledge of the soul's illness.
So far no one has taken up Jung's torch and am afraid to say, no one will. Most Jungian material is at best rehashing of Jung's ideas. And frankly, most of JungianISM books are rubbish. The material misleads and distorts Jung's position. A disaster Jung predicted would happen after he passed away.
That includes the Jung training center and the analysts in California. A institution which has nothing to do with Jung's true spirit. The spirit of gnosis as opposed to to the current Jungians as displaying *word juggling/manipulations* = *head information* . *Dry bones* No flesh, no breath of spirit.
BOOK NOT RECOMMENDED
June 29,2008

This book shows Jung at work using his methods of dream interpretation. Jung liked the seminar method and had ongoing seminars during the academic year from the early 1920's until 1940. The children's dream seminar has long been available only to close students of analytical psychology and was given between 1936 and 1940. In this seminar he takes dreams of adults who recall their dreams from childhood. So, do not expect to see dreams from children. He shows his magnificently wide range of knowledge of different subjects as he amplifies the meaning of the dreams put forth by seminar participants. The translations from German are by Ernst Falzaeder, a well known psychoanalytic historian, and are excellent. The book is the second to be published by the Philemon Foundation which is undertaking to publish all the unpublished works of C.G. Jung. HIghly recommended for anyone interested in the study of dreams and analytical psychology.

This book is a unique perspective on the dreams of children, although it must be noted that they are the dreams that adults had as they recall them from their childhood. What is unique about this book is that the introductory lectures about dreams by Carl Jung may be the single best presentation of the classical Analytical Psychology perspective of dreams. Secondly, the book is a powerful presentation of the unique contribution made by Jung. One unique contribution is the illustration of how the forces of the psyche already at play in the young child and how they contribute to the unfolding development of an individual's identity. A drawback is the case presentation method (a plus for others), which can make the material somewhat choppy because of the varied presentations. Overall, however, it is solid and unique contribution to the field of Analyical Psychology and all perspectives work from that group of psychologies under the umbrella of depth psychology.
