Hayes Books

I am a practicing trusts/estates attorney and find this book to be absolutely worthwhile and great to read. The author writes in a way that allows you to understand the law of trusts in a way that is unique. The book refers you to the the lengthier treatises for further review but...No real need to go further unless you have the time.

The book is a concise approach to understanding trusts and a must have for anyone whom deals with them. It's a steal!

This book was a disappointment. I have been a trust attorney for over fifteen years and I found this source book to be without value. I would not suggest this book to anyone serious about the important responsibilities of a trustee.

The concept of this story could be a good one. However, I found that the writing was a bit overdone. The character development was a bit slow and the dialogue confusing. I have always found this time period interesting but the story told here is not.

The daring beginning to the adventure of the handsome twins wisked me away with it's fast paced description. Angela Hayes truly brings you close to the character's thoughts and keeps you on your toes wondering what will happen next. This book is a must read for those who love the life on the sea, a hint of romance, and a nonstop adventure.

the emperor's new clothes!!

While Monet is my favorite Impressionist artist, I have little affection for most of the work he did in the last years of his life. However, "Monet: Late Paintings of Giverny from the Musee Marmottan" is about more than the work the artist did during the first part of the 20th-century. What is fascinating about this book is how it talks about Claude Monet as a skilled landscape designer who turned his garden at Giverny into a living canvas which served as the subject for almost all of his later work.

The text of this book consists primarily of four essays: (1) "The Musee Marmottan and Claude Monet," by Arnaud d'Hauterives, the museum's curator, that briefly discusses the history of the Monet collection found there; (2) Lyn Federle Orr's "Monet: An Introduction" provides what is really an overview of Monet's body of work; (3) Paul Hayes Tucker's "Passion and Patriotism in Monet's Late Work" discusses how the artist started focusing on particular elements and enlarging them in his paintings. This essay is illustrated with not only reproductions of Monet's paintings but photographs of Monet's garden from that period; (4) "Monet as a Garden Artist" by Elizabeth Murray focuses on the strong parallels between Monet as a painter and a gardener. The essay includes a detailed diagram of both the Flower Garden and the Water Garden at Monet's home in Giverny, as well as an axial view of the two. What I like most about this book is that I learned more about the garden and its relationship to the famous paintings of the water lilies, the Japanese bridge, and the other familiar sights.

This book ends with the Exhibition of 22 paintings displayed at the Musee Marmottan, from two "Water Lilies (Nympheas)" paintings from 1903 to a painting of "The Roses (Les Roses) from 1925-1926. Almost all of these paintings reflect the darker style of his last years. However, I think with this book you will come for the paintings, but stay for the garden. Of course, now I have a strong desire to go there and see these things for myself. For a visit there, albeit a slightly fictional one, check out "Linnea in Monet's Garden," a children's book that adult will certainly enjoy by Christina Bjork and Lena Anderson.

this is one of the stupidist books I have ever read. Blah. Boring!! There is nothing to look forward to. Please don't hurt yourselves! Don't waste precious time reading this stupid book! It has no beggining and no ending! How can anyone call this a book?

It was a great book.It told a good story about a boy who gets made fun of for not being a courageous boy.The boy tries to prove that he is courageous.

This quirky book is easily misunderstood but was made into a play and performed to hysterically funny reviews. I believe it's a satire on the unreality of breaking into acting. Odd and wierdly refreshing.

I don't see how this book deserves a star. Cici is one of the flakiest charactres I've ever read about. She wants to become a famous actress.....yet she doesn't take acting classes, or accept an ensemble role in her school play. She thinks she won't have to go to college to become an actress.....but I'm an actress myself, and I know it takes a lot more work than just sitting around waiting to be "discovered" and thinking you'll be a great and talented person just becaiuse your family owns a movie theatre.

This book is a wonderful defense of the Pre-Trib view of prophecy. Mr. LaHaye goes into all the Scriptural justifications for holding this view, while at the same time defending it from the attacks of those who DON'T hold it, particularly Dave McPherson, whose books attacking the Pre-Trib Rapture view have a number of flaws in their arguments. At the same time, Mr LaHaye reviews, and Scripturally refutes, the other views of eschatology (end-times prophecy). I recommend this book.

This reviewer read "No Fear of the Storm" in 1993 after reading "The Pre Wrath Rapture of the Church" by Marvin Rosenthal. The contrasting tenor of both book is astounding. Rosenthal is firm, but gracious. LaHaye is simply vitriolic.

Beginning on page 95 (chapter 8), LaHaye demonstrates that the pre-trib position is, to him, nearly as important as the virgin birth. He calls Nelson Publishing a "formerly reliable publisher of pre-Trib material", as if they have betrayed a core doctrine Christianity.

He claims that the Pre-wrath position is the "most confusing interpretation of end-time events...that no one...would come to on his own..." LaHaye, over the last 11 years, has been proven wrong time and again as people have come forth saying the pre-Wrath view fills in the blanks, and answers the questions pre-Trib theologians have been neglecting to answer forthrightly for years.

Rosenthal is misrepresented on page 103 as having midtribulational presuppositions (read chapter 2 of Ryrie's "Basic Theology" for the simplest handling of presuppositions). The fact is well known that Rosenthal was a pretribulationalist with strong resistance to alternative views. One might say, tongue in cheek, "his hope was built on nothing less than Scofield's notes and Moody Press." And LaHaye knows it.

Page 146 contains a harsh paragraph that should concern Christians: "What has [neutralized Christians] is the pietistic movement's error that politics is evil and that heavenly minded Christians should not be involved in changing society through government." This is a grave error by LaHaye. The fact is, Christians were never called by Christ to change society through Government. The political system *is* evil because it is not of God: it is a kingdom in conflict with the kingdom Christ is building. It is a man-made structure set up for accomplishing man's goals. In a word, it is Babel. Society is composed of human souls, and changing those souls cannot, and never will be, done through government. A reading of John MacArthur's "Why Government Can't Save You" explains this with ease.

LaHaye literally "predicted" on page 113, to wit: "I predict it [the pre-Wrath view] will prove to be an aberrant brainstorm that, despite its deep-pocketed two-year promotional campaign, will fade away before it becomes a fad."

I have waited ten years since my original reading to write these words: LaHaye is wrong, and his "prediction" smells of bad fruit.

Speaking of deep-pocketed promotional campaigns (which, from LaHaye's quote above, must be a common denominator of false teaching), we are reminded that this is the same LaHaye who is author of the fictional "Left Behind" series which, in this reviewer's strong opinion, is a clear violation of Rev. 22:18-19. LaHaye has camped so strongly on his position that he has added chronological characteristics, fictional characters, subordinate plots, and dramatic nuances to the inspired and revealed Word of God -- a bit of "help" I am confident God did not ask for from LaHaye. Won't it be interesting if LaHaye finds himself thrust into tribulational pressure he did not expect to encounter, face-to-face with the plagues he had no fear of, and in direct fulfillment of John's warning in Revelation which said, "Don't add anything to this book."

"No fear" is the beginning of LaHaye's downgrade, where he embraced personal goals over sound doctrine. Matt. 24:4: "See to it that no one misleads you." (NASB) This book is misleading.

Highly unfortunate that my instructor made this a required text. I do admit that it has interesting information, but for a condensed LPN program, where there is no time for searching all over the world, I say that this is a waste of time when you want quick information. Nice for the library (after graduation), but not worth the headache. Spend your money where you can get the help.

A step by step pharmacology textbook for the nursing student and the seasoned nurse. Excellent source of up-to-date information on the latest drugs, the action of the drugs, the effectives of a drug. It's a who, what, where, how and when pharmacology textbook for the nurse.

You only need to read the first chapter of this book to obtain all its information. The rest of the book just regurgitates the inital info by siting examples that are uneeded and boring. The only reason I bought it is because my university requires this class. This book is painfull to read and I advise all teachers to seriously consider alternatives before purchasing this piece of garbage. Try assigning Aristotle's "Retoric", or anything else but this monstrosity!

good condition, new, and it was send a little late but alright.

I already have some of Rory Hayes' comics in the UG's where they first appeared, but it's great to get this much dementia in one package. I wish they had re-printed all of BOGEYMAN #1, but that's a small complaint. You feel more like you are reading the work of an insane person here, than with the more professional-looking work of S. Clay Wilson or Crumb, who may be weird, but are clearly putting you on. Weird, funny and disturbing. I looked through this in a bookstore and then ordered a copy from Amazon. Well worth having.

I did buy this, thinking they'd culled the best of Hayes' material and placed it within a frame work of "what happened" or at least a "why". What you get is a sloppy retrospective of a man people more fondly recollected than for first hand knowledge of what he produced, which is no bargain. Very little of it has quality, and very little of it seems charming. It is raw, ugly and unrewarding. Honest it might be, but this is not the honesty you wish for, as there seems to be no forgiveness or desire to move through it. If it was therapy for Rory Hayes, fine.

It isn't that I cannot respect a talented primitive. There is just less here than I expected. Basing just on the cover, I thought it would be interesting. It's the cumulative details that you see after you pop open the book to realize that the value you spent and what you get aren't equal.

And the large factor of Rory Hayes dying from drug overdose and drug usage seems to be glossed over, as is the information I gathered years ago, that as he got older, he did less. This is a bunch of drawings from an older disturbed teenager.

If you pick this up in a store, you would put it back. I know I would. Sorry I bought this.

Wow. I just read this book yesterday and I doubt the effect will ever wear off. Rory Hayes may be one of the most interesting artists I've ever heard of. His speed (among other drugs) addiction had a lot to do with the look and feel of his work, though drugs would later be his downfall. This is what I can say about the book: EC comics-inspired acid trip visuals, disturbing stories and artwork, bears who commit murder and are sometimes victims themselves, an alcoholic old lady who always groans and takes meth, horribly gruesome scenes of bodyparts being chopped off, and other things that Amazon would never allow me to put. It is the work of a strange, pale, skinny, wall-eyed creature who grew up troubled. If I could use one word to describe his work, it would be "outsider". WARNING! This book is definitely NOT for the weak of heart!

Extremely small book, some nice pictures but not enough, 2-3 for each group. Good side is that for each pathology there is a short explanation, so it is not just a picture.
