I started reading Dion Fortune 35+ yrs ago. This book tells lots about the behind the scenes about Fortune & her Magickal group. Richardson was not a member of her order who had to dig for his facts ...and dig he did. The bock contains the Magickal records of 2 major members Christine Hartley & Charles Seymour. It talks about Fortune's true inner plane contacts as well as the entities invoked and mediated by the entire Lodge. The book also goes into the fact that Fortune sacrificed here inner plane contacts due to the publication of her seminal work "the mystical Qabalah," whereupon she had to develop new inner plane contacts. This book is well worth the read.

R.C. Richardson has done all students of the English Civil War a great favor. As hotly debated as the U.S. Civil War, this book surveys the historiography (i.e. the history of the history of the "variously explained" - English Civil War, English Revolution, Puritan Revolution, Great Rebellion) of this transformative 17th century event from the 17th to the 20th century. Richardson frames his analysis in the context that "at no point since 1640 has consensus characterized historical writing on this subject." (p. 240) Highly recommended for any student of British history.

How can this be Jane Richardson's debut novel? It was absolutely brilliant! I've been looking forward to Ms. Richardson's release almost as long as she has. (Maybe not quite that long.) ;) And I have to say, I was not disappointed. She carefully crafted endearing characters that have stayed with me though I finished the book months ago.

Before I began to read this book, I had wondered why it was considered contemporary romance vs. romantic suspense. It is about a British cop and an FBI agent after all. As I began to read, I realized their jobs were merely the backdrop and the thing keeping them apart. The story was about these two characters and how they nimbly travailed through this lifestyle in order to gain their own happily ever after.

I heartily recommend this book.

This small, easy-to-read book is a powerful tool for understanding the context of each state's admission to the Union. Although each state is dealt with briefly, he covers a lot of ground in the words he chooses. As a teacher/home educator, I appreciate the running tally of north vs. south states and the progressive maps. These help to simplify things even further for an overview of this history.

It's a great book by itself for a general overview of the time period, or can be used as a launching point for more in-depth research. This is a great little find!

It is the best Dinosaur book that I have seen so far in my life.
It has everything.

Careful theological scholarship is the means by which each age can review its theological past. Among its justifications is that new conditions provide new eyes with which to view our inheritance and thus to correct a distorted present. It is scarcely disputable that we owe some of the greatest theological writing to the need to controvert and refute those heresies - or, rather, those different forms of the one underlying heresy - which would turn Christianity into its opposite. Future generations may well have cause to thank even the most tiresome modernism and political correctness for their focusing of questions that would otherwise have gone unexplored. How much more can we thank those great minds, beginning this century with the ecumenical trio of Barth, Rahner and Lossky, who have reminded the church of the centrality of her confession of the triune God. Not all the plants in the garden, are, however, worthy of cultivation; the sheer fashionableness of trinitarian categories should remind us that there are trinities and trinities, and that in particular there is a continuing and unreconciled difference between East and West that cannot be healed except by careful and scholarly examination of the overlaps and differences. This study of the work of two modern British theologians reveals not only that British, nay English, theology has something important to offer, but that a comparison of two of its representatives from different generations opens up aspects of the relationship. The character of the theology of William Temple, not now much discussed, is becoming clearer with a measure of the clarity that hindsight provides, and this book adds to our understanding. His movement out of his early grounding in British idealism, cautiously transcended as the years go by, was in part the fruit of a deepening of trinitarian insights. Especially in this context, his essentially western direction provides a useful contrast to aid the chief scholarly contribution of this study, the retrieval of the trinitarian theology of John Richardson Illingworth. Often dismissed with faint praise, and simply classed along with those whose work on Lux Mundi puts them into a fairly recognisable class of rather immanentist high church Anglicans, the originality and depth of his contribution is here made interestingly apparent. It is at this place that we learn of the gains of the recent interest in the theology of Eastern Orthodoxy, for to see Illingworth with the eyes given by our recent re-education in the Cappadocian contribution is to see him anew. Here is indeed a western theologian who does offer possibilities for a measure of genuinely ecumenical conversation.

This book is about the life and times of Douglas Mcphillips and believe me he had a very interesting life......the absolute best book i have ever read!!!! If you can find it BUY IT!!!!!!!!!

I have read several guides to Dublin and the Rough Guide is the best by far. It is packed full of information in, and unlike many of the other guides, it includes information on off-the-beaten path destinations and day trips outside of Dublin.

It has lots of practical information that the first-time traveler to Dublin should know, like what buses you can take from the airport, the (new) location of the Dublin Tourist Office, and the costs of public transport.

The style of the Rough Guide is very enjoyable as well. Instead of just a few recommendations for rooms and restaurants, the guide includes many suiting virtually all tastes and budgets.

Highly recommended.

This is a terrific book with a lot of appeal not only to people interested in pines, but to a wide audience of ecologists, land managers, foresters and graduate students in ecology. There are 22 chapters by authors from 4 continents, with close to 3000 references. The book offers a wealth of insight into the effects of humans, fire, evolution and systematics of pines, reproduction and life histories, pines and invasive ecology and more. It may be too expensive for many readers, but get your library to buy a copy, at least. J. Gurevitch, Associate Professor of Ecology and Evolution, State Univ. of NY at Stony Brook.
