Borden Books

This book, based on a true story, is both informative and entertaining. The story is set in 1927 in Cincinnati and revolves around the fight that Jack Dempsey did not win. But the theme of the book is what makes it such an excellent book. The paperboy did not quit just because his was not the best corner or the "Extra" did not sell well. He was dependable and rewarded for doing his best. The book appeals to all ages of children and even to adults.

If you're fascinated by Lizzie Borden, this book -- a collection of 26 papers presented at the conference held on the 100th anniversary of the infamous murders -- will keep you glued to the page. Here you will find Lizzie, the person and Lizzie, the case considered from five perspectives: psychological/women's issues; historical; literary; legal and forensic; and bibliographical. Sample titles: "The World Owed Her: Lizzie Borden's Shoplifting," "Lizzie, You Mean and Spiteful Thing," and "Librarians in the Life and Legend of Lizzie Borden."

But what really sets the book apart is its compelling suggestion that Lizzie may have been a victim of childhood incest (three papers focus exclusively on this idea). "The evidence, often the product of modern sociological, psychological, and clinical research, is persuasive and certainly provides us with a new way of looking at the crime," writes editor Jules Ryckebusch.

Indeed, the book's biggest virtue is its total departure from the usual did-she-or-didn't-she. I really couldn't put it down, although several spelling and grammatical errors detracted from my reading pleasure.

This textbook was incredibly informative and helpful. The author had an excellant style of writing that made the material intriguing. It sparked my interest in the area of psychology. I am very greatful to the professor who required this textbook for his class. It made my learning experience a memorable one. I am still informing others of the appealing things that I learned from this book.

This book was written as a textbook for an introduction to the biology of women by two women who, as biologists, have both a deep understanding of their subject matter, and the skill to convey their knowledge to others. We all accept on at least a superficial level that women are different from men, and that their biology is unique and specific, but we often fail to know just how and where those differences are. In the history of western medicine many strictly feminine characteristics have been explained by men in masculine terms, and this book does not do that.

Other recent books on about women rhapsodize or celebrate the female body, but this one explains it. This is not a roadmap or a geography, this is an owners manual-like an owners manual for a high performance, sleek and exciting sports car-and like any maintenance manual for an exotic and tempestuous machine, it makes for interesting reading even if you don't happen to own one.

As a practical matter this manual should be in the hands of all the owners-young to old-and read by all those who love them.

David Kent was an amateur actor and as a child actor took part in Orson Wells radio show War of the Worlds that scared listeners of a Martian invasion. He was a consumate Borden Scholar and insisted in writing only true facts. His book "40 Whacks" is a classic. David died before publication of his book and play. The book is a hardcover limited edition.

This book is a MUST for mothers considering preschool for their children! Here is a step-by-step guide through the maze of choices that is clearly written, easy to read, and keeps the individuality of the child foremost in mind. From discussions of day care and learning skills to child development and fostering the parent-school relationship, this well organized, well-indexed book has it all. I couldn't invent a question SMART START did not answer.

This book should become a part of everyone's library because of its practical wisdom and inspiration concerning the nature of life. One can consider it a book on the philosophy of life that is applicable to all you human beings regardless of race, gender, religious preference, geographic location, socio-economic status, profession, level of education, or age. If a person can read, he or she should start with this book. It is better than just about every self-help book on the market or any college course that introduces the discipline of philosophy or the science of business.

More specifically, Alfred Montapert discusses 47 fundamental laws of life that every human being should master in order to maximize his or her full potential. Some of the laws that are discussed are the following: attitude, habit, motivation, success, creativity, self-decipline, prayer and meditation, freedom, responsibility, love, and heredity and environment. I have had this book in my possession for twelve years and have read it many times from beginning to end; I always come away with a different understanding about my life every time I read this book because there is so much insight into one's every day experiences. This is a book that you will never get tired of reading because its principles correspond with reality. If you apply these principles that Montapert explains, it is a guarantee that you will be successful at whatever you attempt to accomplish. Montapert is a very wise person, and he has put his understanding of life in this book as a gift to all who are willing to read it.

Mouni Sadhu's book on the Tarot is not an easy read. Compared to many more recent books on Tarot, Psychology and Spirituality it may appear to be outdated and rather difficult. It is important however to place the book in its historical and social context.

Essentially the book contains the philosophical viewpoint of a Russian Esoteric Group at the turn of the 20th Century, which influenced Mouni Sadhu's early thinking. Sadhu in turn, developed the basic material gained from this group to produce this spiritual/esoteric masterpiece of a book which incorporated his later mature thinking. This included his work with Paul Sedir's Society of Spiritual Friendships, as well as Sadhu's acceptance of the great Indian Teacher Sri Ramana Maharishi of India as his Spiritual Master.

The book culturally was written at a time when it was believed that certain techniques (which are now freely written about elsewhere) should not be given to the general public via a book transmission. When this point is understood, it helps to make Sadhu's 'Tarot' much clearer in its approach to esoteric truth. Mouni Sadhu believed that if a person had the right moral and mental abilities this would enable them to understand the meaning of the lessons contained in the book. This may not a popular attitude today when instant information is expected and demanded of readers. But Sadhu wrote all his books with the intention of helping his readers to think deeply about what was being read and to practically experience where possible what he was describing from his own personal experiences.

The book is certainly not easy to follow, but to readers who persevere with the ideas and exercises contained in the book, benefits such as greater clarity of thought, a sense of personal direction and greater inner freedom are a few of the benefits of Sadhu's 'The Tarot'

I really enjoyed this book! I finished it in only 2 hours but I am still thinking about it days later! It is about a 13 year old boy in depression-era Mississippi who may or may not be crazy. He meets the enigmatic Charles who is his exact opposite. The main character has the same name as the author but I really hope this isnt autobigraphical. I highly suggest this book to anyone who is looking for something out of the ordinary.

If you have no other children's book on the Wright Brothers, this is one to have. The poem in the beginning is a comprehensive study on the Wrights. The book is carefully researched and accurately showed the accomplishments of Wilbur and Orville Wright during that first decade of aviation. Though a picture book, it will appeal to all ages and will be a keeper
