PRIVATE LIES is an awe-inspiring tale of two people destined to find happiness. Once again Robyn Amos has entertained readers with another excellent tale of romance and suspense. This novel was such a fast-paced enjoyable read that I did not want to see it end.

This story is very real and well written. The chemistry between Jaunie and Trenton is hot. And we also have several little mysteries along the way to keep one aptly entertained. She also tackles some serious topics like child runaways but in away that fits with the plot of the story. A definite must read.

This novel was all of that and then some. I really enjoyed the novel. The plot and story line were very creative and interesting. I was elated when Jaunie and Trent finally got together. Finally, Robert found someone that he could have for keeps. Four failed marriages!! That's not really good. Keep up the good work Robyn!! Looking forward to your next novel.

This is truly a work in the tradition of the Great Bible of 1549 and the King James Version. It's unfortunate that the British monarch no longer gives royal authorization to Bible translations, because the REB is much more suitable for church use than the NRSV and whatever translation was chosen for the 1979 Book of Common Prayer Psalter. The Psalms match the dignity and poetry of the Coverdale Psalms that were abandoned in the BCP after 400 years. Truly a translation for the ages.

I agree with most of the reviews below: This is a majestic, beautifully worded translation of the Bible. I have been using it extensively for devotional reading or as a secondary bible. It does tend to paraphrase a bit from time to time. This translation is new and different, yet does not change the meaning of the scriptures, just words them differently from those in the KJV/RSV tradition. It is more elegant and dignified in language than the NIV but roughly the same as far as literalness as a translation goes. (Neither excessively literal or overly dynamic)

One reviewer below commented about how the "woman taken in adultry" part in the book of John is regulated to the end of the book. This was done for "textual criticism" reasons, which I don't agree with, but the missing segment is eventually included and not completely deleted. I would rather it be left as it has originally been. Other than that, I really like this translation.

The Revised English Bible is a 1989 revision of the big selling New English Bible. Whereas the New English Bible kept some archaic language, the REB revision is entirely in modern language. The REB is generally reliable too, the only whiff of religious bias coming in the translators' decision to drop the name "Jehovah" from the handful of places the NEB uses it in Exodus. It is also a shame that the fine illustrations some editions of the NEB used have not been carried over to the REB. The quality of the printed product is excellent though.

I love the REB translation as an alternate to the very popular NRSV. Faithful with a rendering of English that makes one see things differently, this translation is not as appreciated and widly known as it deserves to be!

This book is a wonderful read for both science fiction/ fantasy and romance readers alike!

Sharon Green seems prone to long series, but this book was perfect. Gareth might not have been the most realistically done male, but Regan is next to Tamrissa, my favourite Green heroine. She is talented, realistic, and convincably vulnerable. But that's to be expected. This story is the perfect kind of sweet, not being mushy or sigh like but the kind of thing that just makes you put it down and say 'that's the best book I've ever read!'

A classic Sharon Green tale of self-discovery, challenge, and romance. Regan is a intelligent, talented woman who is an outcast from her family BECAUSE of her strenths. She is betrayed, and becomes her father's political pawn. Eventually, overcoming difficult odds, she finds true love with a wonderful man, and learns to value herself and her unique gifts. It's an easy book to read over and over again!

Pawn--Or Power?

On the world called Plateau, telepathy has become the prime source of power, an unopposed weapon with which the ruling elite, the Uppers, can keep an oppressed population under strict control. But when Regan, a daughter of aristocrats, fails to claim her telepathic heritage, she becomes a mere pawn in her father's deadly political games, married off to Gareth. the very man who, unbeknownst to Regan's father, is the leader of a secretly building resistance movement. And suddenly, discovering the key to her dormant powers becomes vital. For only through telepathy can the rebels hope to overcome their cruel telepathic overlords.

Sacred Union The Healing Of God by intuitive counselor and spiritual teacher Beth Green is a profoundly spiritual treatise that challenges the commonly held notion that God is a perfect, changeless being. Instead, Sacred Union: The Healing Of God proposes an evolving, complex God that is the totality of all being. A dynamic, iconoclastic, thoughtful and thought-provoking work that seeks to reconcile the age-old dichotomy of a world filled with horrible evils and the worship of a holy supreme creator, Sacred Union: The Healing Of God is a transcendental work with a message that reaches past all boundaries within the mind and soul.

You haven't heard it all before. This work requires a few re-reads and probably several study times to make it yours, and even then... It makes me think and rethink and has caused a welcome reshaping of my belief system. Those of us who have grown up with the concept of a higher power have seldom given thought to our impact upon God or even broadening the way we define God. The fact that we are so disconnected from ourselves and others is a crippling condition of the human race. This book offers a way through.

SU:THOG is a practical theology based on observation, common sense and intuition for those of us who need to know "Why?". Beth logically explains the nature and purpose of existence with wit, wisdom, keen insight and compassion. The central tenet of the book - God is the totality of all, evolving - validates our individual experience and transcends it. Read this book for a new persepctive about relating to God and healing ourselves.

Beth Green has taken the myth that God is perfect and turned it into the truth. If we are created in God's image then God has got problems, just like we do. Beth sets us free from needing the big God, little us relationship and brings God to level ground, beside us, where God belongs. This book is not religous as it allows the reader to beleive in, as many 12-step programs put it, "God as you understand God." It has freed me to have God at my side as my friend and companion, not somewhere in the sky, far away from me when I need it most and when it needs me. Sacred Union: The Healing of God has made me see that in healing myself, I heal God, the God within me, the God without and the whole that is God.

As a former Navy Corpsman, I found this book to be OUTSTANDING! Fully half of the book is devoted to the uniforms and equipment of Navy Medical personnel, and I agree with the earlier reviewer who felt that this should be reflected in the title. Other than that small beef, this is a great book, a welcome addition to Navy historical works, and I look forward to the rest of Mr. Warners' series.

Jeff Warner has written the most monumental, complete and historically accurate books on WWII Navy, Uniforms, Equipment and Gear on the market to date. It is clear that the author knows his subject matter and he knows it very, very well.

This book is rich with full color, high quality photographs, as well as original photographs direct from the National Archives. The subject matter flows easily from one topic to another. The author's descriptions are well written, clear and concise. Complete outfits and gear are shown, head to foot, showing how the gear goes together, how they were assembled and which items were used during what year, then paired with original photographs illustrating and documenting exactly by whom, where and when they were used.

It is obvious that the author embarked on a huge project and put an immense amount of research, hard work and dedication into this book. Since this is the first volume of a series, it is clear that the following volumes promise only more of the same quality, consistency and excellence.

Whether you are a veteran, collector, curator, historian, teacher, artist, scale model-maker, costumer, re-enactor or simply have a keen interest in the Navy during WWII, this book is a definite MUST HAVE.

Let me start by saying OUTSTANDING JOB SIR! This PHENOMENAL BOOK is festuned with a plethera of never before seen images and information!! This new book has everything! Any one who is interested in the US Navy in WWII should have this book on their bookshelf!

The photos are crisp and clear, the descriptions are great and the information is phenomenal!Mr. Warner took may of the photos outdoors, so you have a difficult time relizing that these are not actual war time color slides. his section pertaing to the sub force was amazing to say the least, the simple fact that he had an original black dyed set of the khakis in this book was mindblowing! And the fact that said uniform actually was on a model who was on an actual sub was incredible! Really loved this section. His gear layout are unmatched, as well as his use of wordage to describe the equipment.

Never before have I seen a reference book with so many original picture that havent been seen a 100 times before in other book, buy this book for the original pictures alone!

If anyone out there is hesitant to buy the book due to the rather high cover price, well then, said person might be called an imbecile! a really superb reference book, like this one,are hard to come by, as well as worth their weight in GOLD!!!This book is worth its weight in Platnum! Don't be a penny wise and a pound foolish, spend the money for this book, it's well worth the price! I would have paid twice this amount if asked by my book dealer!

I am looking forward to the other 4 volumes of the US Navy in WWII from Mr. Warner in eager anticipation, especially his chapter on Aircrew and pilot uniforms.
all my best,
paul w. miraldi

I just received my pre-ordered copy of this new book and I was very impressed with it. This is the first I've seen of any reference books about the U.S. Navy and it's quite good. Osprey does have a comic-book size volume called "The US Navy in WWII" but it's practically worthless.

Of course no book of this type is perfect but in my opinion, this book's faults are minor and are far outweighed by its merits. Here are the pluses and minuses that I discovered although your interpretation might be different.

These are the things I didn't like; the author used live people to model most of the uniforms for the photos. That's okay but it looks like there are only about 5 or 6 guys wearing about 30 different uniforms. It was a little disappointing to see the same few guys wearing so many different uniforms. However, to his credit, the author does apologize for this in the forward.

It looks as though the photo quality is not as crisp and clear as in other books of this type. I know some writers use slide film or new high tech digital imagery these days. The photos in this book just aren't eye-popping quality.

The title is a bit deceptive. About 80% of this book is devoted to Navy Corpsmen and USMC uniforms & field gear. Maybe the title should have included something about Navy Corpsmen.

The price is very high at $79.00 retail.

These are the things I did like; everything is in one volume. This isn't a book about one subject like helmets, knives or patches. Complete uniforms are shown and the subjects are thoroughly covered from A to Z.

This book is very informative, not just pics of WWII stuff. The author has shown step-by-step instructions for assembling packs and other equipment and the complete list of all the medical items carried in the navy corpsman bags is wonderful. Some experimental items and camouflage are shown as well. The official regulations are often quoted in the text for the wearing of insignia and uniforms which adds a lot of credibility to the author's work.

There are a few recent USMC uniform books already in print that feature similar items. Namely, "Grunt Gear" by Alec Tulkoff, "Paramarine" by Chris Mason and "USMC Uniforms, Insignia and Personal Items of WWII" by Harlan Glenn. I have all of these books and I found very little repetition in "Sailors in Forest Green". Notably, the other books devote little or no attention to dress uniforms which is covered very well in this book. Also, none of the other books give little more than a passing honorable mention to corpsmen. The original combat photos of navy corpsmen and the layouts of the gear they used are also covered here in detail. In my opinion, if you have other USMC reference books, this one will compliment them, not rehash the same material.

With all of the overkill of books out there on U.S. paratrooper gear and German SS camouflage, I'm glad that someone has finally taken on the job of writing a series of serious reference books about the U.S. Navy in WWII. After seeing this first book in the series, I'm really looking forward to the rest of them. All things considered, I give it 5 stars.

Although I am not an expert, I am a scholar, and I found this book of poems by Sappho who lived in 700 BC Greece a pleasure to read. I liked the design and layout, and the translation is geared to today's readers.

This polished translation brilliantly reflects those spare but sparkling lines from the winsome poet of a lonely isle and heart. I find it still superb after many readings. Highly recommended.

"To Eros: You crush me." The tenderness and splendor of Sappho's poetry has never been so lusciously rendered as in this translation. Every little word sings with love and warmth. Thank you, Willis Barnstone, for omitting the cumbersone ellipses and brackets of translations past. Now we can enjoy Sappho's passion undisturbed.

More or less 150 years after Homer's Iliad, Sappho lived on the island of Lesbos west off the coast what is present Turkey. (Due to political upheavel she went two times in exile, the second time to Sicily for a short time ).

Sappho takes a special place among the poets of Antiquity. She was already famous in her own time. Plato said that she was the tenth Muse and someone called her poetry " as refreshing as a morning breeze ". Her poems are vivid and she needs only a few words to describe essential human feelings. She calls solitude for instance " this icy numbness of being alone ".
( Nice to know: from Sappho's poems remain about 500 lines. All Tragedies by Aeschylus have a total of 8144 lines. Conclusion: What's left of Sappho's poems is next to nothing. )

" Wedding of Andromache " is one of the most vivid descriptions in the poetry of Antiquity. It gives an almost journalistic account of the homecoming of Hector and Andromache. A fragment of Barnstone's translation:
" ...
and all set out for Troy
in a confusion of sweet-voiced flutes, citharas,
and small crashing cymbals
and young girls sang a loud heavenly song
..."

Sappho excels also in describing landscapes and nature ( something you don't find often in Ancient literature ). A fragment of " Aphrodite of the flowers ",
"...
Here ice water babbles through the apple branches
and roses leave shadow on the ground
..."

This translation was published in 1998 but as a work of art in itself, it's by no means outdated.

hello am shravya from india.
i am really crazy abt Ms. enid blyton's novels.
i really love them a lot. she is a very good writer and she has just got a lot many innovative ideas and she has put them all into her works to make them more interesting and adventurous.
she is just awesome and her so are her books!!!

shravya,
india

I remember reading this book when I was about 7 and I was instantly hooked on The Secret Seven and their marvellous adventures. From then on I saved my weekly allowance of $2.50 to buy all of Enid Blyton's books which I still have. Reading this book today takes me back to my childhood where in my imagination a half built house could become a Medieval Fortess and a creek could become a Raging River.I suggest you give this book to your children and if their attention spans have yet to be corrupted by 3 minute flashing videos on MTV they will love this book.Harry Potter has nothing on The Secret Seven. They really ROCK!!!

it is indeed surprising that enid blyton doesnt seem to be in vogue any longer, infact her books which made many a long summer afternoon fly are not even available today. her variuos mystery and adventure series, incl famous five, secret seven, five findouters, the adventure series starring kiki the talking parrot, the r's mystery series with miranda the monkey and snubby the scallywag, and ofcourse her inimitable school stories the St Claires and Malory Towers and all timeless classics whcih i enjoy even today. i will be happy to chat to like minded readers

I second the comments made by the reviewer above. I can still remember reading The Secret Seven and Famous Five books when I was a kid and praying that I too somehow will be transported to their world and relive all the adventures that they've gone through. I came in here looking for Ms. Blyton's books for a gift to my niece but I was doubtly dissapointed that they are mostly out of print. Harry Potter and the like are nice books but nothing compares to the Secret Seven and Famous Five series. Read one and you'll know what I mean.

Wow! This is one of those books where you find yourself saying "Why the ...didn't I think of that!" It's a fun read but the answers are kind of startling. With the shiny red cover it makes a thoughtful Valentine's Day gift. Truly food for thought. Hmmm.

I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! The general idea, new answers to the same old dilemmas...when I finally closed the book (I read it in one sitting - I was riveted!) I found myself wondering, "Hey, why didn't I think of that?" C.A. Green is direct and to the point - no nonsense answers, "political correctness" out the window...but there's TRUTH in this book! I probably laughed the whole way through - but I saw so many of my friends/family members (okay, okay, I saw myself at least once), that I'm sending copies to ALL my friends ASAP. I say, buy this book, but don't just buy it, let's all LEARN from it!!!

I learnt of this book while flying home from the USA. My seat mate was laughing and I asked what was the book. It was SHORT THOUGHTS by C.A. Green. I love this book. The advise is right on the nose. One is able to hear one's mother or grandmother telling you all these things.
Ever word is true but said in such a funny way as not offend except for the guilty of course!!!
Already, several colleagues and friends have asked what I am reading that makes me laugh so much.
This is good advise on how to live our lives and right now, I think the world can use it.
My Christmas shopping is now over thanks to C.A. Green. Everyone gets a copy.
Thankyou C.A.
Bryan

Finally someone who has the balls (or I'll bet uterus) to give the right answers to those annoying, insane and constantly recycled questions sent in to advice columnists. This writer is wise.

Each piece of advice, or "thought", was funnier than the last. Giving "Short Thoughts" as a gift is a cute and subtle way to knock some sense into the head of that man or woman in your life who needs a little guidance. (That's what I'm doing!)I hope to see more from this writer.

Similar to the marvel essentials same format big books in black and white.This volume include
ADVENTURE COMICS 250- 269 - 1958 to 1960
THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD 50,71,85- 1963 TO 1969

WORLDS FINEST COMICS 95-134,136,138,140-1958 TO 1962

Green Arrow is probably one of those characters who is always destined to be a bit of a second banana to more popular heroes. He's been around since making his debut in More Fun Comics in 1941, and unlike some of the other heroes (flash, Green Lantern) the Golden age and Silver Age Green Arrow were both named Oliver Queen. This latest edition of Showcase Presents concentrates on the Silver Age Green Arrow who made his first appearance in the pages of Adventure Comics # 250 as a back-up feature to Superman. This book reprints several dozen Green Arrow stories from the pages of Adventure Comics, Worlds Finest Comics, and The Brave and the Bold. Most of the stories are only 6 - 8 pages in length and involve Green Arrow and his sidekick Speedy tracking down some sort of two-bit criminal with their wide array of trick arrows.

A few things are interesting about the character right off the bat...First, the writers were doing their best to make Green Arrow and Speedy into another Batman and Robin. Both Oliver Queen and Bruce Wayne are wealthy, [...]types with young wards who come under their guidance. Green Arrow had his Arrow Car, Arrow Plane, his secret Arrow Cave hideout, and the police even had their own Arrow Signal to contact GA when there was trouble. Unfortunately what Green Arrow didn't have his writers like Bob Kane or classic villains like the Joker or the Riddler. One thing that these early Silver Age stories did have going for them is the art of Jack Kirby. Now Kirby fans might be a bit disappointed as this is not Kirby at his finest. It's not close to what fans are used to from his 1960's period. There could be a couple of reasons for this...First he probably didn't have an inker as strong as Joe Sinnott, second, and more likely, was the fact that in the 50's DC's editors really didn't encourage a lot of artistic style from their artists. They wanted books finished quickly and Kirby could crank out the pages as fast as anyone. Lee Elias took over the art chores after Kirby left and did a commendable jog. He was unspectacular but steady.

Most of these tales were written by Ed Herron or Robert Bernstein, a couple of guys kind of lost in the annals of comic lore although Herron is somewhat famous as the creator of Captain Marvel Jr. in 1941 for Fawcett Comics. As mentioned, Green Arrow and Speedy fight crime with a variety of outlandish trick arrows including: rope arrows, short circuit arrows, aqualung arrows, fire cracker arrows, harpoon arrows, glue arrows, buzz saw arrows, and many, many more. I think my favorite is the dry ice arrow. And then there is his villains which are not exactly the Flash's Rogues Gallery...Mighty Mr. Miniature, Phantom Bandit, Camouflage King, The Pneumatic Man, and the Spectrum Man. There are also a large number of Sci-Fi style elements with the pair battling a giant mechanical Octopus and a robotic archer that fires rapid-fire arrows, as well as numerous alien threats. You had to love the 50's!

While most of these stories are throwaway quickies, there are a few notable stories. "Green Arrow's First Case" from Adventure #256 tells the story of GA's origin. "World's Worst Archer" from Adventure #262 relates how GA first met Roy Harper and took him on as his ward and sidekick. Another important story from a historical sense is from Justice League of America #4 where Green Arrow is elected to membership in the JLA. In a story from Brave & the Bold #85 Green Arrow teams with Batman to track down a man who tried to kill a Senator. This story features a cover and art by Neal Adams and it may be the first time Green Arrow sported his now trademark goatee. At least when Batman sees him he says that he didn't recognize him at first.

This is a welcome edition to the Showcase Presents series which, along with the House of Mystery and Jonah Hex editions is reprinting material that has not been seen in decades. Pure silver age fun and excitement!

Great comics with very-difficult-to-find material, in a phone-book size very useful for those afternoons in which you have a lot of spare time and want to review old material about your favourite character. Includes the Kirby material. I'm still enjoying it. If you are a Green Arrow fan, then you MUST buy it.
Besides, i'm spanish and i live in Spain. I have to say that the package arrived the day they told me and i had no problem with it. If you're foreigner, don't fear to buy here. ;)

This is a real fun collection. Sure Green Arrow was kind of derivative of Batman. Where Batman had the Batcave, the Batmobile, the Batplane, Robin and even a female counterpart in Batgirl, Green Arrow had the Arrow Cave,the Arrow Car, the Arrow plane, Speedy and even a female counterpart in Miss Arrowette. They were both millianaire playboys with youthful boy wards and there was even a Bat and Arrow signal. What can you say except DC knew a good thing when they saw it in Batman, so they tried to repeat their success with Green Arrow. Unfortunately for Ollie Queen and Roy Harper, the never achieved the iconic level of the Dynamic Duo.

This may be due in part to the fact that the Emerald Archer never faced the villainous A-squad that Batman did. Almost anyone can rattle off a few of Batman's rogue's gallery if given a minute. But how many even serious comics fans are familiar with Green Arrow foes such as: Iron Archer, the Pneumatic Man, The Birdman Gang and Bonzo the Ape Archer?

The stories are often gimmicky, problems are solved by using some kind of convenient trick arrow. This is probably in part because that as back-up stories many of G.A.'s tales are pretty short and require a speedy resolution, such as one provided by a trick arrow. But Green Arrow's skill with a bow and quick wit is cited as often as his crazy arrows as the reason for his triumphs, and later, longer stories often required Green Arrow and Speedy to actually use their gray matter to solve problems. And sometimes the gimmicks were just downright amusing: Boxing Glove or Umbrella arrow anyone? This is a delightful and imaginative and BIG compliation. Because there are almost 70 stories here, you can read several a day for weeks before you finish. Read'em while your cooking,doing the laundry or leave this volume lying around the toilette to class it up. Here are a few highlights:

Upon reading this book, I was instantly moved. Although I am not an African American like Mr. Tette, I am a Chinese American immigrant.

Mr. Tette's words flew off the page as I was reading his wonderful book. We may have had different specific experiences, but our journey was ultimately the same. This clearly is one book I will never forget.

Kosi Tette does an excellent job in portraying the thoughts, thought-processes and the aspirations of the African Immigrant with the undying quest to succeed in America. Anyone in this category cannot help but overwhelmingly agree that Kosi Tette has read their mind. His ability to link events of the past to challenges of the present and to dreams of the future surely make Kosi an outstanding luminary who gives high credence to the image of Africans here in the US. Kosi is surely stepping into the ranks of Anthony Kwame Appiah of Princeton & Harvard fame.

'Silent Struggle' is so well narrated and studded with analytical and philosophical thoughts that I just couldn't put the book down when I picked it up. And when I was done I was still looking for more to devour!

I will like to see a sequel - especially how Kwasi adjusts to the strife the US has had to go through with the economic recession and the terror attacks and what it means to the African Immigrant caught in the middle of all of this which can be hard to comprehend. Once again the trail-blazing skills of Kosi are going to be very well needed for a lot of us for navigating this land of seemingly endless opportunity, if approached the right way.

Excellent job. It easily makes 5-Stars!

I enjoyed reading every bit of "Silent Struggle".
Mr. Tette's book does not only tell the world about the hurdles that Africans living abroad face, but, it also depicts the emotional conflicts that all foreigners face when they make a life outside of their home country. Job well done!

Never has the story of the African immigrant been told with such brilliant humor. This book is not only a must read for those who want insights into the experiences that mould and dictate the percepttions of the African Immigrant in the West. It also alerts all immigrants to the pitfalls that may accompany certain decisions. It gives praise to the host country where it is due and subtely alerts all to the the perils of certain dogged cultural positions and myths held by the soujourner. I highly recommend this book for your next 3 hour plane trip, light hearted, witty but very true afterall the writer lived it persoanlly or through close friends in the same perdicament.
