Review Date: 2003-09-02
This is a beautifully designed book of photographs that reflect the many different ways people have expressed their sorrow of the 9/11 tragedy and their pride as Americans. The photographs are presented in pairs and carefully sequenced. Dr. Lyons provides no captions or comments on the photographs. They speak for themselves if we take time to listen.

Against the Jews
Helpful Votes: 10 out of 11 total.
Review Date: 2008-02-23
Revilo Oliver was an old school racialist and a hardcore anti-Semitic professor of the classics, claiming that good Jews merely cover for the bad Jews, meaning that there are no good Jews. He studied comparative religions deeply, but did not value them as truthful or helpful, but he thought they merely revealed the mindsets of different races. In this volume, the eloquent professor with his large vocabulary and sardonic humor critiques Christianity as the religion of the west and also as a hoax perpetrated by the Jews on the gullible goyim (cattle). At times, I felt that Oliver was a bit paranoid, such as when he claims that by the year 2000, there won't be enough farmland to feed the ever swelling masses of non-white people. He also felt that it would almost be better that white people slit their throats now, rather than go through the suffering that non-whites will give them once they violently overthrow white society. He was a firm believer in a Civil War 2 situation, rather than a slow decline of white civilization through the intermixing of the races and a low level violence against white people. Oliver did not believe in peace and love because that leads to miscegenation that brings the decline and destruction of white civilization. He also did not believe in stupid wars that split the blood of white men over religion, race, or ideology while the Jews gleefully fund both sides of the war and watch the stupid goyim destroy themselves. Oliver's view of the world was a grim one in which each race competes to be the master race and a race has to be aggressive if it wishes to survive. He hated pacifists and thought that wars against other races would be inevitable. He also thought that Rousseau should have died in obscurity with his unrealistic beliefs in the brotherhood of man and the nobility of savages. Rousseau stated several times that he could not handle reality and it shows the degeneracy of white civilization that we take such a crank seriously and let Jews run our affairs. That other degenerate of the French Revolution that some people take seriously, Marquis De Sade, should have been put to death for kidnapping and torturing people.

The first essay explains how Christianity is a religion of white people of the West only and how it is has been complete folly to try to convert other races to Christianity. He explains that other races are just pretending that they are Christian to receive aid from the white man, and that in earlier times, the white man's military would punish anyone who decided to have missionaries as the main dish in a barbeque. There is also a translation problem with certain theological concepts that do not translate well into other languages, such as the meaning of truth. He warns that the divide between the races is vast and white people should not assume that non-whites are merely white people in disguise who think like us and want to behave like us. We are not very good at detecting deceit from other races because we have a tendency to be truthful and honest. He mentions the folly of the romantic generosity of white people who feed other tribes who basically will always be our enemies but are perfectly willing to accept our aid. But Oliver regrets the decline in Christianity to a certain extent because it helped unify whites and many fundamentalist Christians, the only ones that take the Bible seriously, are often far right in their politics and actively resist communism. He thought that communists intend to turn us into unthinking, robotic slaves. Ersatz Christians, however, still cling to the social superstitions of Christianity such as the belief in the equality between the races, although they do not believe in the miracles of the Bible or the divinity of Christ. The decline in Christianity can be attributed to our tendency to be rational, wanting to follow the truth wherever it may lead. Scientific facts have made us doubt the Bible.

In another essay, ¨The Jews love Christianity¨, Oliver basically shows that he is an atheist and he thinks that Christianity is destroying the West with its beliefs in the equality of all God's children, universalism, and its foolish altruism toward other races. He states that the early Church fathers were Jews who tailored the New Testament to serve their interests. He thought the Sermon on the Mount was silly and destructive drivel. He states that no one can follow the Bible to the letter unless they are schizophrenic because of all the logical contradictions in the Bible. He accused Christians of reading the Bible in a trance in which they let go of their critical faculties that they use with other texts. He also says that Christianity has had a problem with Marrano Jews who superficially accept Christianity and infiltrate the church and laugh at the gullibility of the goyim who think that they are converted. He would prefer that we make Beowulf our sacred book since it supports the values of truthfulness, honor, courage, heroism, and loyalty to one's nation and tribe. He does not like Christianity for its holy war between an imaginary good and evil and for its emphasis on the importance of the afterlife rather than this life.

This is a good book for exploring the racialist mind. Oliver has some insight into race relations as basically a hostile and competitive situation, even though he is a bit paranoid, negative, and disturbing at times. In a strange way, he asks us to be like Jews, who are aggressive and loyal to each other. He also compares us to Jews, stating that whites are a hated minority around the globe. I would say sometimes we are hated, but also admired. He longs for white unity across the boundaries of class, nationality, and language when there is none really and probably never will be.

I bought this for my classroom library. Students can easily read about Alexander Graham Bell because of the easy readability.

I sometimes use this book to teach reading skills to my students. This is a great book to use for compare/contrast in a reading center. Students can easily find the information. For example, students could compare and contrast the lives of Alexander Graham Bell and Albert Einstein.

Great Book for School Reports
Helpful Votes: 2 out of 2 total.
Review Date: 2006-02-23
My 9 year old daughter and I both enjoyed this book. It was purchased primarily for use on a school essay. She found all of the information she needed and it was easy for her to understand. The book was wonderful and she became very interested in Alexander Graham Bell. It was no longer an "I have to read book", but an "I want to read book"! The glossary and the timeline in the book were very useful. The book also has many wonderful pictures in it. Another book we also enjoyed very much was "Always Inventing" by Tom L. Matthews. It is also about Alexander Graham Bell. It also includes many wonderful pictures and a timeline. I believe that both of these books are well worth purchasing. I can see us using them for future reports and projects and they will be passed down to her 5 year old brother. Now when she uses the phone she thinks more on how it came to be.

Old - But Not Out of Date!
Helpful Votes: 0 out of 0 total.
Review Date: 2007-07-20
I picked up this book and cannot put it down. What a great text! The reader will have to know their (High School) Algebra and Geometry. Have a Reference available if you have been away for some time.

After this book, you may be ready for Geometry of Curves (Chapman Hall/Crc Mathematics Series), followed by Plane Algebraic Curves (Student Mathematical Library, V. 15) and/or Introduction to Plane Algebraic Curves.

The former is more Analysis/Topology based and the latter Algebra. They are German texts, you will certainly need a strong foundation in Analysis and Abstract Algebra. Prepare well!

There are a host of books on AG - Those above are inexpensive, except Geometry of Curves (Chapman Hall/Crc Mathematics Series), light and quite prepratory for advanced study.

"Reluctant Bride...Unlikely Groom"...Good Read
Helpful Votes: 3 out of 3 total.
Review Date: 2003-12-18
When a leather-clad stranger forced Paige O'Halloran into a limousine, she knew her humdrum life was about to change. Then her abductor turned out to be longtime nemesis Rye Warner - hired to be her bodyguard. And in order to keep her safe, he was hiding them away in a honeymoon cottage!

Rye couldn't believe his luck. He was being paid to protect the prim-and-proper Paige, the same woman he'd been verbally battling with for years. But now that he'd finally gotten a look at the elusive Ms. O'Halloran, he knew he was in for some cold showers. For suddenly Rye wanted to turn their "honeymoon" into the real thing.

A good read with lively, amusing dialog as two unlikely characters battle each other to keep their strong attraction under control only to fall in love.

A history, guide and plant guide for alpine adventures.
Helpful Votes: 2 out of 2 total.
Review Date: 1998-11-21
This little book covers the history, geology, weather and climate of the New England mountain summits. It takes you upward through the northern hardwood forest, transition zone, spruce-fir zone, balsam fir zone and the alpine zone. It is an identification guide to the plants, their habitats and communities. Animals -- birds, amphibians, mammals and insects -- are described. The book design and layout are clear and attractive. I give the photos A, the reproduction A-. There is an index to the illustrated species, scientific and common names. Altogether it is an exquisite, small book to carry on the trail and to enjoy by the fireside. 96 pages.
