Marshall Books

In "Global Marshall Plan", Radermacher sets out a scheme by which we could use the very little time we still have to arrive at global sustainability. His approach is that of an "eco-social market economy", i.e. a market economy within a framework of ecological and social rules, necessitating improved and more coherent global governance structures, but not a world government. Radermacher recommends using the rules which already exist and which are globally agreed upon (often with the important exception of the United States), such as those laid down in the UN system and which adress issues such as labour standards, climate change and biodiversity, but which are not taken into account by e.g. the WTO and the Bretton Woods Institutions. The Global Marshall Plan aims at bridging the WTO and the BWIs on the one hand, with the rest of the UN system on the other, thereby making global governance structures more coherent. At the same time, Radermacher proposes the introduction of small global taxes, such as Tobin tax or a tax on kerosene to finance global sustainable development and the attainment of the UN Millennium Development Goals.
For me, this book, along with Radermacher's other recent publications, is an essential part of the bunch of keys humanity needs if it would respond to the current developmental and environmental crisis.

From the front cover through to the final photograph, the Global Table is set to serve up an amazing display of colourful settings. Each themed event is styled in innovative and informative ways, captured by stunning photography. If you entertain and need inspiration then look no further and if you don't, then buy this book and get those invitations sent!

Although much of the information covered here is available in the more easily found Spirit of St Andrews, this original work is far more profound in the impact it has on the reader.

Inside is an overview of Mackenzie's views on golf architecture, mostly drawing on his experience while in the UK. It was after this book was published that he found his way to the Americas and left a lasting mark on the profession.

By reading and rereading this book, much of what was upheld by the classic architects not only becomes clearer, but it also shows us quickly how course construction has strayed from its early ideals.

The renewed interest in golf architecture, and Mackenzie in particular, will hopefully spawn a new age of course construction. This book, one of the best of its kind, should be read by the student in whatever edition he can find.

To clarify a detail or two, the book was first published in hardback in 1960 by the copyright owners NICHOLSON KAY LTD,194-200 BISHOPSGATE, LONDON EC2 and was printed in England by Adlard & Son Ltd, of London and Dorking.
The book is extensively illustrated by GRAHAM with all the quips and complaints used by modern golfers.
The book is full of light hearted humour about a very serious game and has several anecdotes that apply to many situations other than golf.

This is a wonderful book for young children. The illustrations are soothing to the eye and restful to the spirit. Just lovely!

As heralded by such masters as Eckhart Tolle and Don Ruiz the earth at this time is graced by a number of awakened divine flowers of consciousness which grace us with their tremendous healing power and gentility. Marshall Ball is no doubt one such light in our world. His healing gift is through the power of his words. In this important document of our time [A Good Kiss] Marshall Ball uses his gentle and seemingly simple use of the English language to incite a healing effect that evokes deep emotions and directly effects the heart. Short of a miracle, both of Marshall Ball's books are a collection of communications poetically expressed and clearly echo teachings from A Course in Miracles, Eckhart Tolle's Power of Now and Stillness Speaks, and the Conversations with God books, none of which have been a source of study for this young man of 17. It seems Truth is spoken again by another source of pure love, but here, with heavenly gentleness and a poetic voice that can lift and heal the coldest of hearts. I highly recommend reading and studying both "A Good Kiss" and "Kiss of God" as material for spiritual study and personal growth. May this gentle heavenly force continue to grace us with his divine wisdom and healing voice.

This book is excellent; I'm surprised that it is out of print. This is the conclusion to the Aloha Cove series, so make sure to read them in order.

This book is a wonderful collection of quotes from children that have been overheard by grandma and grandpa. It is thoughtful, touching and just down right hilarious. I recommend this book to ANYONE: parents, grandparents, teachers, children, pastors etc. because there is something in it that we all can relate to. It maker a wonderful present and really lets your childs, or your, grandma and grandpo know you care no matter where they live.

John Marshall [1755-1835] was Chief Justice of the United States for the last 34 years of his life. During his long tenure, he turned the Supreme Court from an afterthought into a primary tool for the centralization of federal power; he defined America, though we can still debate whether he got the definition right. This book details how Marshall went about his task.....

This is NOT a biography of John Marshall [see my other reviews]; it is a series of case studies which trace the expanding power of the Federal Judiciary...Marbury v. Madison established the principle of Judicial review of legislative decisions...Virginia v. Cohens asserted federal authority in state affairs...the National Bank...land titles...Indian treaties......there is still disagreement over some of Marshall's decisions, and there was hell to pay over some of them at the time. "John Marshall has made his decision; now let's see him enforce it"...the various ramifications of that statement {which Andrew Jackson MAY not have ever made} are mind boggling....

Charles Hobson is editor of The John Marshall Papers, one of the 2 or 3 greatest living Marshall scholars, and a nice guy [as was Marshall]; he has written a five star book. Do I actually recommend it? Maybe. If you are an attorney or historian with an interest in the topic, it is an absolutely essential volume. Well written, well organized; for me, it was a page turner. For the casual reader, don't waste your money, or insult Mr. Hobson. You will need a good background in either Law [not me], or history [me] to understand it.
