"Faces Of The Holocaust: Marcel Jabelot" is an award winning documentary by Barbara P. Barnett (author, documentary filmmaker, Holocaust educator, and Head of Modern Languages at The Agnes Irwin School) in which Marcel Jabelot, a survivor of the French Holocaust who was imprisoned in the Nazi concentration camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau tells his personal story with remarkable candor and an inspiring grace. After surviving Auschwitz-Birkenau and the Death March, Marcel somehow found the strength to start a new life in Paris after Germany's defeat in World War II. In the face of a despicable trend of Holocaust denial in some quarters of the western world, it is personal eye-witness testimonies like that of Marcel Jabelot that will stand like a beacon against the return of European anti-Semitic fascism. This 60-minute DVD documentary should be a part of every academic library's Holocaust Studies collection. Also highly recommended is the book form of "Faces Of The Holocaust: Marcel Jabelot" which would make an excellent addition to community library World War II and Holocaust Studies reference shelves.

I admit it, I paid full price for this thing. I'm still glad I did, though I took a big gulp when I bought it. Particularly given that I've built my FLW big photo book collection from discounted used, though excellent condition purchases. I saw this in the store and I just had to have it. It was an indulgence, no question. But I took the plunge.

190 pages. 12 1/4" tall x 9 3/4". The paper dust jacket has two beautiful photos, one each for the front and back of the home in the context of the wood that it is in. The inside covers and facing pages to them have a photo of the creek that the home stradles. This photo is lush in the woods where the home is located. The home is not pictured in this facing page two page sized photo. It is a clear indication that the book was lovingly made. The hardcover itself is white fabric with the title stamped into the front cover just as it appears on the dust jacket.

The author is the son of the people who commisioned the home and it says he, "...entered Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin Fellowship in 1934. During Fallingwater's design and construction, he often served as intermediary between his parents and Wright."

There are 53 full page photos and 30 of those are of a single photo, that is 15 photos, taking up two full facing pages. About 5 of the other 23 full page photos also cover about a third of their facing page. One facing set of pages has one drawing. There are about 27 other pages with color photos. And there is a fold out with front and back each showing a architectural drawing. There are 3 photos of the site before the home was built and a few of the home being constructed, all black and white. There are about 6 architectural drawings and about 10 other drawings including, in the introduction, drawings of woods or buildings in woods. There are 41 pages with black and white photos. There's one extensive ariel photo on two facing pages of the home in the context of a few square miles of the woods in which it is located. There is another ariel photo that is just above the home. The magnificent architectural drawing of the home almost fills two facing pages. Most of the photos are interior shots. The exterior shots give you a real sense of the home in its natural context.

There's only about one page that is all text. There's about 48 pages that have both text and photos. Throughout, the author tells the story of Fallingwater, from inception to completion and into its existance as a home no longer to be lived in but to be shared with any visitor through guided tours. His perspective is a unique one and he tells the story like a professional.

Fallingwater is known as the finest residence in America. This book, completely dedicated to this single building, is worthy of its subject. You can feel the love of the author for his parents, for FLW's work and the love that he put into making this book without it being sappy. If you never get a chance to tour the home this book will be, certainly, the finest opportunity you have to get a complete look at it through and through. I still can't believe I paid full price for it. But, by golly, I'm glad I did. It is virtually a work of art itself. chrisbct@hotmail.com

In the late '50s I had the unusual chance to personally ask FLW what school might be best to learn City Planning. Not knowing then that his inimitable, signature response would be "you can't learn that in a School, you have to learn by doing."

Later, I also had the pleasure of knowing Paul Bonfilio, and can attest that his own product here is a labor of love that reflects an intuitive, heartfelt resonance.

BTW, if you have the opportunity to personally visit Fallingwater, try to exactly time it to that week in May when the surrounding wooded Moutain Laurel canopy is in their full and profuse bloom for an added breathtakingly magical experience.

Valuable research which all but predicted today's..random killings...& acts of terrorism Professor Mildred passed away..at 75. Hopefully-her early break-thru work will be updated,with forward...& Epilogue soon,(especially on school violence)

This work is an efficient survey of agriculture and its relation to population growth through history. The chapters are designed to focus on population growth through time. For example chapter 2 is: Reaching for 5 million ( to 8000BC); chapter 3 is: Towards 50 million ( 8000-2000BC); chapter 4 is: The first half-billion ( 2000BC-1500AD); chapter 5 is: Towards the first billion (1500-1825) etc. Under each heading is a discussion of the critical agricultural developments during that time period. The last chapter focuses on the problems of feeding 10 billion people in the future.The research is detailed and knowledgable. The sources are modern and uptodate. The writing is precise. It is an excellent book that covers a lot of ground in a small compass. Highly recommended.

HPP - Hypno Peripheral Processing - is a powerful paraliminal technology (that is, you can hear it, if you are still conscious). It is dichotic - two stories simultaneously - and they are really stories, some metaphores - it doesn't sound like a regular hypnosis tape. This technology is different from the rest - the guy makes a lot of breaks, basically he stops shortly after each few words. Some of the words are emphasised by being pronounced harder, or because there are near one of the stops, so you can't but notice them. So you could hear "the body can" in one ear and "fix itself" in the other - but each of these is part of their stories, just they are synchronized so that you notice them somehow.

Even though I only listened to this program, any of the tapes from HPP series is highly recommended. I like everything about them: his voice, his stories, parables, Powerful effects!
The hypnosis supposedly works if you get into a state where you are not listening about it consciously (might seem like you slept). For this reason, I would recommend using a light and sound machine (such as Proteus) for helping you get your brain in optimal state for getting the suggestions.

Its great to have a book that owners and veterinarians alike can read for reference. Ferrets aren't as popular as dogs and cats, therefore books and information on ferrets are hard to find. This book is a comfort to have for any ferret-owner.

I used this to visit a few sites in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. Directions were right on the mark!!! As long as you know which way is north it's easy to follow the diagrams. The only tricky part is getting to one of the starting points if you're not familiar with the areas, but mapquest or google can help you with that. I loved that it organized all the Arizona sites for the shortest trip and made it posible to see them all in one day!

I highly recommend First Book of Daily Readings by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones because it is different from most modern daily devotional books in that it is not written by an apostate author who is trying to appease and entertain a lukewarm audience. His daily entries are taken from his books and his lifelong research and study of the bible. He delivers clear meaningful messages which have distinct references to the scriptures and the teachings of Jesus Christ for the reader to ponder and apply to daily life. I found it inspirational and well written. It presents sensible no nonsense ancient solutions to modern day challenges.

this is the best tape i have found on this subject and i do have several others that i have tried. not only do you get the technecs but also two very good actual sessions to listen to when you need them. i can truthfully say that this tape alone could have given me many skills i learned doing biofeedback. i highly commend the authors for making this available to everyone and at such an affordable price
