With all the chaos going on in the world this book is
just what I needed. I needed to read again about things
I could do to connect to source. Granted I have heard
of many of them but needed to be reminded that it is up
to me to do my part to keep this connection.

When energetically all around is going crazy, especially
now, this is my goal to stay aligned. With the stock
markets ups and downs lots of people are working from
FEAR. I don't want to operate from there so I must
stay in Alignment.

This is the second book we have read by Karen Bishop and her quality of writing is as good as the first one. She easily explains difficult spiritual concepts that we have wondered about and touched on but weren't able to express until reading her new book. In a nutshell-- she is explaining how we can consciously strive to "fit" into new and exciting spaces and therefore, be in alignment with new and higher ways of being. She easily explains our on-going spiritual evolutionary process.

With all the chaos in the world right now, Bishop takes the edge off the stress and makes us comfortable being in a peaceful space.

This is the first time I have actually read into the process of ascension, and I don't know if I was more frightened or interested at first. Now I am just plain excited, and Staying in Alignment has sparked a great interest. I have since began reading other books that will help me through these crazy changing times. I have to say that before I found Karen's work I thought I was the one going crazy, my first reaction was "cool I'm not going crazy there's a lot of other people feeling some of the same stuff I am, and it's for real". Thank you Karen.

I am almost finished reading this refreshing book, Stop The Funeral. This book addresses the underlying issues that tend to cause untimely funerals: naturally, spiritually and emotionally. I would recommend this book to everyone, but I feel the best audience is fathers and their sons. If this book's insights are followed, we can indeed stop (and prevent) some funerals!

I was greatly impressed with this writing, Bishop Hilliard has hit it right on the nose when it comes to the dying american family. This book should be included with every going home kit to new parents when they leave the hospital. Reading this important book will help them right out of the gate of life in bringing up the new precious life God has entrusted to them . Many of us have had a life where there has been emptiness and darkness. Stop the funeral helps to shed a lot of light on the life The Lord would have us live. Instead of 2 thumbs up I give it 2 arms lifted to Jesus.

It's difficult to easily categorize these dark works of fantasy: they are short stories written by such notables as Ray Bradbury, Michael Bishop, Nina Kiriki Hoffman and others, blending literature and art and all based on the strange kinetic sculpture Crowded After Hours by Lisa Snellings. Dark carnival stories probe the limits of humanity.

I have no problems with spiders. When an arachnid lodges itself in the upper right hand corner of my shower, it's me (not my hubby) who forces it into an empty glass and releases it back into the wilderness (i.e. out the window). I don't think they're particularly cute, but I respect what they do. Similarly, I didn't think I had any problems with tarantulas either. I'd never held one or stared one in the eight eyes, but I wasn't about to freak out over reading Sy Montgomery's excellent addition to the "Scientists In the Field" series. It was with zero reluctance that I plucked "The Tarantula Scientist" from its shelf and proceeded to page through it. Just my bad luck that such paging began with a stomach churning view of young gooey transparent tail whip scorpions riding on their mother's back, really. To my infinite surprise I found portions of this book grotesque, other parts, disturbing, and every single page can't-physically-tear-my-eyes-away fascinating. For any kid vaguely considering transferring their love of the creepy crawlies into a full time career, this book is a must-have. Just keep a firm grip on your phobias while you peruse it.

Our hero is named Sam Marshall. He's an average college professor (go Hiram!) with a truly above-average obsession. Marshall loves tarantulas. He loves to travel to distant rainforests and observe them in the wild. He loves to tend to his five hundred live spiders in Hiram College's Spider Lab. But most of all, he loves to discover new and interesting things about the species. Tarantulas, as it happens, are relatively mysterious creatures. No one in the scientific community has ever taken the time to understand their growth rates, space needs, ways of creating homes, social obligations, etc. No one until now, that is. With Sam at the your side, the book takes the reader up close and personal with these magnificent lords of the jungle floor. You watch as Sam coaxes a Goliath birdeater tarantula out of its hole. You thrill to see (in graphic color photographs that could win awards for presentation alone) these tarantulas as they shed their furry spiky skins. You cower as Sam navigates a snake ridden cave floor to capture more and more tarantulas for his needs. From the comfort and calm of Ohio to the dangerous but beautiful forests of French Guiana the daring life of an arachnologist has never been so thrillingly portrayed.

This book won the coveted Sibert Honor as one of the best non-fiction books of the year. It's hardly a surprise though. First of all, the pairing of author Sy Montgomery with photographer Nic Bishop is nothing short of inspired. Sy's text makes scientist Sam Marshall come alive for child readers. Through him they learn how one becomes a world premiere tarantula specialist. The book intersperses factual information about the spiders with the actions Sam takes from place to place. Best of all, the book includes a fabulous selected bibliography, spider websites of note, info on French Guiana, and a portion discussing what to do if you're thinking of buying your own personal tarantula. None of this cold hard information keeps Montgomery from placing little moments of reflection in his text as well. A discussion of a hike through the rainforest notes that finding answers to science questions, "means long hikes through a wet, warm rainforest where even the sunlight glows green through the leaves". And the book really shows how scientific discoveries are made. Kids in school might be under the mistaken impression that all facts about the known world are... well... known. But by reading this book we watch and Sam notices something about a spider (it makes a noise, possibly with its legs), tests a theory (by shaving the spider's legs), and reaches a logical conclusion (the noise DOES come from the legs!). What other book does this so well, I dare ask?

And still there are the pictures. Oh the pictures. Bright beautiful full page color pictures that can't help but grab your attention. You see crazy insects, a bag FULL of empties tarantula skins (mesmerizing to say the least), webs, a tarantula flinging spikes at an opponent, and more. My sole regret was that the book goes on for some time about the beauty of a rare bird (whose name Amazon.com won't let me write here, doggone it), but never shows us so much as a glimpse.

All in all, spiders have never been so well documented and presented for the general child reader public. If you're tired of wearing socks all the time and wouldn't mind getting your socks knocked off, here is the place to start. It will scare little kids, entrance older kids, and mildly freak out parents. What more could any good science book do?

Kids in grades 4-6 and more will relish Nic Bishop's startling close-up photos and scientist Sy Montgomery's vivid descriptions of scientific investigations in his Tarantula Scientist. Almost 80 pages pack in the photos and plenty of facts about the giant spiders, and will delight kids of all grade levels with accounts of investigative qualities. More than a picturebook but not quite a pre-teen read, this will reach a larger audience than most simple spider coverages.

Even squeemish spider-haters couldn't help but love this book, it's so readable and fun! Arachnologist Sam Marshall leads the author and photographer on a quest that will inspire even the most reluctant young scientist. Journeying through the jungles of French Guiana, we enounter the world's largest spider, the Goliath Birdeater Tarantula. Nic Bishop's photos of the spiders are unexpectedly beautiful (how many eyes does that thing have?); he even managed to capture images of a spider shedding it's skin on a silk mat it wove especially for the occasion. The book has a lot of human interest as well, as readers learn that Marshall was an apathetic student himself, until the joy of discovery through research snared him. (Marshall is considered to be the world's foremost authority on tarantulas, and now is director of a the J.H. Barrow Field Station at Hiram University, where he is also an assistant professor.) One of the neat things about this book, beyond telling us everything about tarantuals, is that it gives us a glimpse what scientific inquiry means in the field and lab. There are photos of young lab students working with their research projects; a grade 5-8 reader would relate and be inspired by this portrayal. This book would be an excellent addition to any middle school library or a great gift for an aspiring biologist or tarantula owner.

What The Spirit is Saying to the Church
Helpful Votes: 15 out of 15 total.
Review Date: 2005-10-10
Bishop Alexander is a gifted theologian and pastor and he is also my diocesan bishop here in Atlanta, and I know him as a good and decent man. For that reason I would be expected to read his book on this most important subject. I am gratified to be able to say this short book is one of the most cogent and well-reasoned I have ever read on the subject of gays and lesbians and the place they should have in the Church. Some might assume that since Bishop Alexander voted to confirm Bishop Gene Robinson of New Hampshire that he must be a "liberal" and that's that. As This Far By Grace indicates, his current position that gay people and their relationships can indeed be channels of grace is one he came to gradually and over time. He relates his own personal journey and looks critically at those scriptural passages that have been used to attack homosexuality. He does not merely engage in a battle of "proof texts" by quoting one passage to refute another; he examines the context of each and concludes that none of these Bible passages contemplates anything like a committed or monogamous relationship. For Episcopalians who have an open mind on this issue but may not fully understand it, this book treats their possible reservations with respect; it is not a polemic. It could be read by itself, or in combination with "To Set Our Hope On Christ," the US Episcopal Church's theological justification for ordination of gays to holy orders and for placing positive value on gay relationships. Together they set forth a strong case that justice for gays and lesbians is indeed what the Spirit is now saying to the Church.

This is an articulate account by someone who was there. Bishop Alexander guides you through scriptural references and invites you to consider his perspective on homosexuality and then to find your own path. This is an excellent "guide book" for the thinking Christian on this important issue.

This book makes me want to become an Episcopalian.The bishop not only exaimes the "hot" passages that have been used against gays but reflects on scripture, worship, prayer and service from an Episcoplian perspective. His explanation of Midrash as an aid in interpretation and his appreciation of traditon and liturgy in Christian life are compelling and inviting. His emphasis on using your mind as well as your heart when you read the Bible is certainly a needed reminder in our time. Bible study is a part of the Christian calling. Understanding the clutural setting of these particular passages as well as so many others helps us see that there is more here than meets the eye. In the first chapter he shares his own journey from an anti-gay Christian to an affirming Christian. For those who might fear that the "evangelical" way of reading scripture is the only way,this is a valuable book. By going beyond the narrow question of homosexuality to the larger questions of faith, the bishop helps us view the entire matter from a wider perspective.

This bibliography of Thomas B. Mosher, one of the most interesting actors in the printing and graphic arts at the turn of the century, is an essential tool for collectors, librarians, and book dealers. The author's meticulous, compulsive even, research uncovered much new information, both bibliographic and biographic and presents a stunningly complete picture of the man, Mosher, and his importance. Bishop investigates, and throws new light on, Mosher's reputation as a "literary pirate." Equally importantly Bishop examines Mosher's "graphics piracy" and identifies many of the artists, mostly British, whose designs Mosher used, often without attribution. Finally Bishop establishes Mosher's influence in disseminating, in America, works of many known and unknown British writers. The appendices at the back of the book are, alone, worth the price of the book.

A cure for melanoma

Review Date: 2000-03-30
Beata Bishop, a British journalist and author, received the dread diagnosis of widespread melanoma, normally a death sentence. Her surgeon offered her no hope for survival, nor did the grim statistics for "the black death" as it is called. Then Beata became aware of a nutritional therapy that was offered in Tijuana, Mexico, the Gerson Therapy. After speaking with several people who had succeeded on this therapy, Beata travelled to Mexico for the Gerson therapy. This book is the story of her odyssey of survival, recovery and rebirth into vibrant health using the natural processes of her own body to heal and defeat the cancer. It also details the psychological healing that accompanies the physical processes of recovery. Bishop is a sensitive, articulate writer, aware of and able to express the feelings of despair, hope and joy that she experienced. This book has been translated into German, Czech and Hungarian, and Bishop now lectures on her therapy, twenty years after her diagnosis of "terminal".

Review Date: 2005-01-19
I would hope this book will help to make more people aware of the Gerson Therapy which is the best hope for all cancer patients and also for anyone with a degenerative disease. Beata Bishop's story is one that has been repeated many many times by other people who have used this therapy. She vividly recounts the stages of surprise, grief and then determination to get well and take control of her treatment that people who have gone on the Gerson Therapy have shown while they defeat the cancer that has temporarily taken them down. The USA medical community for the most part has hid its eyes from the most effective cancer treatment on the planet mostly out of self-interest and unwillingness to admit that large amounts of organic nutitrion, detoxification from the many sins of the typical American diet, some key supplements and avoidance of some key negative foods are what bring the body to a state where it can heal itself, rid itself of cancerous tumors and also heal other degenerative conditions and illnesses of the body. To this day over 20 years after her treatment on the Gerson Therapy Beata Bishop in London, England is promoting the Gerson Therapy to others and is also helping to heal people overcome their pyschological limitations to complete healing in her own private practice.
Please read this book and then explore the Gerson Therapy for yourself with the book, "The Gerson Therapy - The Amazing Nutritional Program for Cancer and Other Illnesses" by Charlotte Gerson and Morton Walker, D.P.M. Read also the definitive original work on the Gerson Therapy called "A Cancer Therapy - Results of Fifty Cases & The Cure of Advanced Cancer by Diet Therapy" by Dr. Max Gerson, M.D. Videotapes by Charlotte Gerson are also available at the web site, www.gerson.org, and they help to explain the Gerson Therapy in more detail and how to do it yourself at home, although for very advanced cases of cancer or other advanced illness it is best to travel to their facilities in Mexico for on-site treatment. Also, please go to the web site, www.gerson miracle.org, to see a free 90 minute documentary film called "The Gerson Miracle" by Stephan H. Kroschel and screenplay by Howard Strauss, son of Charlotte Gerson, on the Gerson Therapy. This documentary film won first place at the Beverly Hill Film Festival in 2004. Howard Strauss was instrumental in getting it made and continues the hard work of spreading the good news about this therapy. You can also order the film's DVD at either site. If you can also please read "Cancer Winner" by Jacquie Davison although it is currently out of print. It is another very inspiring read by someone who cured herself of malignant melanoma (a skin cancer whose name literally means "black tumor") with the Gerson Therapy.
See for yourself why the famous Dr. Albert Schweitzer, M.D. said of Dr. Max Gerson, "I see in Dr. Gerson one of the most eminent geniuses in the history of medicine." Dr. Max Gerson extended Dr. Albert Schweitzer's working life by approximately 15 years after treating him for advanced adult onset diabetes with the Gerson therapy when Dr. Albert Schweitzer was 75 years old. The inimitable Dr. Albert Schweitzer was cured and thereafter worked until past the age of 90.

This book was intriguing. After forty years, the author, Janina Bauman, is ready to tell her story of her life and experiences in the Warsaw Ghetto during the Holocaust. The story begins telling what a good life Bauman has with her father as a doctor and a loving close Jewish family. Then as the story goes on the war begins and their town is transformed into a Jewish ghetto. They are forced slowly to move from place to place, within the ghetto, each one worse than the other. With her remaining family she escapes the ghetto only to find more problems along the way to freedom, but in the end everything works out. This book gives in excellent detail, Bauman's experiences of friendship, love, death, poverty, adventure, and family problems. Many of her personal diary entries are included also showing exactly how she was feeling. The story is full of adventure and feeling and it was a joy to read.

Winter in the Morning is a captivating book. Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. It gives a very detailed account of a young girl's life during the Holocaust. It shows how this wealthy Jewish girl becomes stricken with poverty, alienated from her friends, and was sent to another school. It gives accounts of all the "safe houses," which were the houses that took Jews and hid them. It also showed how they lived in the ghetto with many other Jews, fighting disease, lice, and finding food that was scarce. This book was very inspiring, as well as well written. It gives an insider's version of the Holocaust and war and is very interesting, factual, and moving. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested in what really went on in the Holocaust.

To let you know how good it is. It attracts even an 2 years old boy, my nephew. He glabed this book and flip it back and forth looking all those pictures longer than an hour long at the first time he noticed the book. Now he tried to ask me to read him story about it everyday.

Besides listing the specification and showing tons of colorful images that should have been found in many other books, this book adds explanation and graphical illustrations about how those warplanes complete their missions in the real battle fields.

For example, from this book, you can find out the whole missions details of a SR-71 Blackbird from taking off, refuelling, capturing enemy information, until returing to its base.

Most fighters, attackers, bombers, spyplanes from WWII up to now are covered. I recommend this book to those who loves warplanes.

One of the most valuable resouce in this book is the first report on an educator, Mr. Fang of San Francisco, who used Internet with his Chinese English Language Learners to communicate with the world in Chinese. When most of the world just heard of the word "World Wide Web," he and his student were already publishing an online secondary school student magazine in Chinese. They also realized live chatting using Chinese characters on AOL. This is really amazing.

An excellent resource for computer application in class

This is yet to be the first complete resource on how to implement computer integration of curriculum in classrooms. When computers are placed into our classrooms, most teachers do not have any idea on how to use them. This book serves as a wonderful resource to guide teachers step by step to set up a successful program. Also, it provides probably the first case study on how ESL students can benefit from computer based instruction in Chinese and how computers process a non-roman language like Chinese.
