Drs. Begel and Burton provide an insightful compendium on the psyche of athletes of all levels. No student of sports should miss this volume.

In my 25 years of teaching, I have never come across a better collection to inspire children with the love of great literature. My students couldn't wait for the hour in which we would open this book and discuss, debate and argue the fine points about "The Open Window, "The Necklace," "The Black Cat" and "Richard Cory." After I retired I couldn't wait to share these same stories with my grandchildren. Not only are the stories wonderful in themselves as a way to talk about the power of the imagination and the importance of telling and facing the truth but the additional lessons on vocabulary and language make this an especially enjoyable way to bring young readers up to the next level of sophistication -- and eagerness -- in meeting their next literary challenge. This book is an absolute winner.

Either way, you win a greater perspective on the men and motives behind the great struggle that became known as the American Civil War.

Many true to the cause are profiled here with excellence, many years before Douglas Southall Freeman is credited with having given the "Cause" credibility and the Army of Northern Virginia under Gen. R.E. Lee the legitimization of having won the "Lost Cause" for time immemorial.

We read here and can understand why Vice President Alexander Stephens (without a middle name) rare strode far from and small radius surrounding his modest boyhood home, why Georgia was easily understood by others of his time as his "country." We can also see how Jefferson Davis himself became caught up in a Southern "Federalism"--almost of necessity. This great volume describing some of the greatest statesmen of the nineteenth century sweeps us up with the end of the true "second war for independence" and helps every reader understand why another was deemed by many not only timely but necessary.

Yet even in diplomacy to the Vatican, under Pius IX, we see the greatest difficulty the Southern Democracy had with acceptance. Each dipomat representing the Confederacy faced the same question--what consitituency did he represent? How could A. Dudley Mann, emissary from Davis to the Catholic Sovereign, purport to speak for any Confederate State on any remotly theological matter? As the Pontiff queried whether any of the emissaries were Roman Catholic in faith, he hit upon the fact that Mason could not even speak to any individual states' disposition on the fate of slavery, however much anyone would protest that it was everywhere withering on the vine and not much of a substantial diplomatic issue.

However cumbersome "state sovereignty" may have been for domestic government, the diplomats of the fledgling nation saw how as a guiding principle it was as unwieldly a concept as Republican Democracy leading to election of a sovereign through an obscure "Electoral College".....

Although the United States once again faced the cumbersome nature of some of its institutions by way of explanation to many diplomatic and journalistic corps in the infamous election of 2000, we have found somehow that it is stable and "works" despite obtuse explanation, and this wonderful book dips the pen of rational thought of the reader into the thinking and struggles of men who again pledged their "lives, fortunes, and sacred honor" onto the untested world stage. It was a time perhaps decades before the diplomatic world stage was prepared to accept unwieldy and contradictory nationalistic thinking on any kind of equal footing. However, we must also ask an ultimate question--were not the diplomats of the 19th century more prepared to accept what they could perhaps not simply understand on a theological, philological, or practical basis with more dignity and general respect than those who benefit from the advanced "communication" made possibly by the internet age?

Just as George Eliot is quoted at the beginning of the new film "GOds & Generals" and as Alexander Stephens also lauded as possible perhaps only from the resting place of his original front porch in Georgia, perhaps the mere contemplation of world diplomacy is only possi able from the tranquility of

We see how as diverse a nation as the C.S.A., with a West-Indian born Attorney General, Secretary of War, and ultimatley Secretary of State, Judah Benjamin, could be taken seriously on the world stage. Yet, the C.S.A. remained proudly and almost painfully rural, clinging to the values that waves of immigration had simply crushed under the pavements of burgeoning industrial cities. The emissaries of the Confederacy were met cautiously on a world stage that still struggles to balance principles of "basic" human rights with the "rights" of corportatons to raise the living standards of thousands while compromising the theological and sometimes cumbersome values of great non-governmental institutions from which sustainence of the spirit seems merely possible.

Even Pope Pius IX, searching for common ground, asked if the emissary A. Dudley Mason were a Catholic, only to find the very few Confederal diplomatics could carry such common ground.

And yet the Confederacy, like the United States itself, existed only under conflicting and controversial mandates, and this country continues to exist. This of course was brought to light in the Presidential Election of 2000. "Statesmen of the the Lost Cause" showed long before the publishing was of Douglas Southall Freeman that allegiance to seemingly antiquated and contradictory ideal CAN somehow work politically, and under the premise of good faith, lost somewhere in te 19th century, can function diplomatically. I suggest here that the experiment of the Confederacy merely saged what Churchill called "El Alamein"--
the end of the beginning of introduction of such lack of clear rpragmatic thinking on the world stage. We still are struggling with the "end of the beginning" of such international diplomacy, aand "Statesment of the Lost Cause" shows, I think, why this beginning has become more diffuclty, is instantaneous non-communication festers, and fewer take the time to consider the implications of deep thinking on a front porch swing, as Stephens was no doubt wont to do--as often as possible.

A beautiful cloth bound gold embossed stereotaxic atlas constructed to the highest standards of quality. Images, in multiple stereotaxic planes, are large and clear. Many features of this atlas are better than the Paxinos atlas in certain situations. Cell stained sections are printed in a vibrant blue which enhances the distinction between certain brain areas which are often difficult to distinguish in the black and white Paxinos atlas. Additionally, abbreviations are superimposed in black ink directly onto the section photo which eliminates the need to continuously scan back and forth between a section outline and the section itself. For copies of this atlas interested parties should contact Dr. Burton Slotnick directly.

I have a tremendous interest in Asian culture, and bought this book for myself on a whim. It turned out to be a lucky choice. Oda Sakunosuke wrote in the period prior to and during WWII. He was one of the "Hooligan School" of writers in Japan and his stories are perhaps too revealing and unflattering for the times in his country. This book has an introduction by the translator, Burton Watson, which, while brief, is highly informative. I loved this book.

If you're looking for a fun gift to give an expecting couple, this is it. While this book, I believe, is not meant to be very serious, it really has some great points to make while taking a relaxed and funny approach. Everyone will laugh at the pictures and all the "stupid" things never to say to a pregnant woman.

This book is very nicely done. It's for someone who is just a wee bit more than a beginner (I'm a beginner). An expert would maybe find it a little tame. But, I have a project in mind, a couple, in fact. The dvd which accompanies the book is excellent and I'll refer to some of it more than once. I recommend this book, and will buy the new book on routers, also with a dvd.

This book is very useul for all teachers because all teachers deal with behavior problems. The book was in great condition, brand new like.
