The shroud of turin (no caps for shroud of turin)is proof that Jesus Christ was here back then. But as of right now, He is in the Heavens.
The important message of the book, on this topic (on the shroud)is that the He (Jesus Christ)came to save us in order for us to have Eternal salvation. People like to exaggerate or even show off by saying, "the shroud of turin" but what is more important for one is the Person who was wrapped in it (Jesus Christ)and not the cloth itself. The cloth will not take you to heaven but the God Christ will. Christ is Alive and He is in Heaven....we will have new bodies in this new world that Jesus Christ will establish Himself, but for that to happen we must be good and we must be in the book of Life in order to see this new world He will create. i also recommend you get a Bible ESV and read the word of GOD Christ. the shroud can be compared to this example: a person you meet who is very nice but who wore a polo shirt, but when he is gone, the shirt stays behind, but seeing that shirt will remind you of that loving person you always dealt with. You want him back(that person in your life) because he was so loving, caring, unique, and he was the only one who understood you-always and forever.

I bought this book, and the information True.
People should not look at this information from the Scientific point of view
because whole point to this is something even more important-and that is that Jesus Christ did Exist back then. The Shroud of Turin is the Evidence. It is no hoax at all. It is all Real. The point is that Jesus Christ, the True Creator God of this World roamed this Planet in the Flesh back in the day before He Left to Heaven in order to be With His Father (God). When He died, He was wrapped with this Shroud-this blaket sheet when placed in some Cave. Why do the Italians hold this Shroud with such caution/care?
Because it is real! It is like the only piece evidence that says to one that Christ was Alive. This book is recommended to Atheists who don't believe that Christ existed at all. This is proof that He did Live. Everyone will be shocked once He comes back to this Earth.....One has to believe in Him, as well as follow His ways because many will be damned to Hell.
This is a great book by Ian Wilson. 5 stars.

This book is absolutely outstanding. Any atheist, agnostic, skeptic, or uncertain person will have their eyes opened concerning Jesus of Nazareth when they read this book from cover to cover. There is no preaching at all in this book. There are no prayers in it to try to get the reader to accept Christ. It is 100% based on science and history and is loaded with pictures. Whenever I am tempted to doubt my Christianity, all I need to do is begin re-reading this detail-oriented presentation of facts and my doubts or unbelief goes away. The evidence is overwhelmingly conclusive that the Shroud of Turin is genuine. One can deduce (this is my inference, not necessarily the author's viewpoint) that the Shroud image has appeared on the cloth by a supernatural process, such as the literal Resurrection of Jesus from the dead. I have used this book to share the truth of Jesus with my associates and family. For the scientist it is especially appealing.

Delightful! The correspondence of 19 years between White and Lawrence is insightful, informative and elegant! Their letterse (far more elegant than e-mail) give us glimpses into life in the 60's and 70's and beyond. This book, which is expertly edited by Emily Herring Wilson has inspired a perennial garden at our Wisconsin home and a renewed interest in the writings of E.B. White, not to mention the writings of Katharine White and Elizabeth Lawrence. These two career women and ladie were supportive and encouraging of one another for 19 years!

The TWO GARDENERS in question are Katherine White of New Yorker fame and Elizabeth Lawrence who wrote a garden column for years for the Charlotte Observer in North Carolina. White's columns on gardening written for the New Yorker magazine were compiled by her husband E. B. White (CHARLOTTE'S WEB, STUART LITTLE) and published after her death in 1977 in the book entitled ONWARD AND UPWARD IN THE GARDEN. Lawrence wrote a number of books, including THROUGH THE GARDEN GATE and THE LITTLE BULBS. Her book THE MARKET BULLETINS was completed by the New Jersey gardener Alan Lacy. The market bulletins were wonderful publications farm women in the South used to communicate information about seeds, plants, animals, receipts (what they called recipes), and other items they for sale or being sought. Elizabeth shared a good deal of information about the market bulletins which were not published north of Virginia with Katherine whose one interests lay with garden catalogues when their friendship began.

Lawrence and White corresponded for several decades. The two women discussed their gardens, their columns, their books, and their lives. In the early part of their correspondence, they often wrote each other by return mail. Toward the end of Katherine's life, the letters were few and far between as illness began to affect her movement and ability to see. In spite of their suffering, they continued to observe the world around them and relay how things were going in the garden-the latest blooms, the ravenous mice, the unexpected cold snap, the new greenhouse. Their words remind me of the hope and comfort women have long experienced when a letter from a loved one arrives. As my 87-year old aunt with whom I still correspond says, it doesn't matter what you write, the smallest thing matters.

The editor of this collection of letters Emily Wilson, quotes a librarian who remarked after having read the letters Elizabeth and Katherine wrote to each other, "I got a feeling of moral interdependence on a creative level. Somehow I had viewed the creativity of successful people as a strong force that perhaps needed channeling but not encouragement. Now, on this new-to-me-plane, I see again that no man is an island."

As the editor of TWO GARDENERS/KATHARINE S. WHITE AND ELIZABETH LAWRENCE, I welcome hearing from readers. I am now writing the biography of Elizabeth Lawrence and would benefit from hearing others' understanding of her, both in these letters and in her books. Emily Herring Wilson

Guy Bailey has put together an extremely helpful resource that has a wide variety of games that are simple, yet fun. I found it to be organized and easy to understand. Most importantly, my students are having a great time participating in the games used! I highly recommend this book to anyone needing fun and creative ideas to enhance their curriculum. Its great!

This book is very organized and gives you specific times for each activity. Highly recommended!!

An exceptionally useful "Activity Finder" chart makes it simple and quick to find games to meet the needs of the adult supervisors and the children. The Ultimate Playground & Recess Game Book is an indispensable and very welcome addition to any school, summer camp, or family activities reference shelf.

I've been reading Mark Twain for thirty years and always enjoy his sharp, acerbic wit and profound observations. The Unabridged Mark Twain is a collection of some of his best stories and essays dealing with life on the Mississippi River, travels, political commentary and general good fiction. I think one of the hallmarks of a good author is that their writings become timeless and issues pertinent then can be found today. Highly recommended reading.

Samuel Clemens is one of the greatest American writers ever, and this collection contains most of his best work. It is better than volume II of the collection. I am working my way through the book again for the third time in 15 years. It is worth every penny you will pay for it.

I am certain that Mark Twain would be highly amused to read your descriptive title of this collection -- "The Unabridged Mark Twain (Abridged)"

Keep 'em guessing, eh?

If you're here because you haven't read Mark Twain's novels and are considering it, then buy this or whatever you can find, and read it. That's probably not the case though, so I'll review this volume.

This is essentially like most of the inexpensive but nice-looking collections of old literature that you see in book stores, with the leatherette covers and super shiny gilt page edges. Not super impressive, but looks good on the bookshelf.

The best part about this volume is that it contains the vast majority of Twain's works that most people would want to read, including Huckleberry Finn, Tom Sawyer, The Innocents Abroad, The Prince and the Pauper, and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. It also includes some classic short pieces, like The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County and Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offenses. In total, there is relatively little chaff in here. There is a second volume to go with this one, but it is nowhere near as good.

If you want a good Twain collection to put on the bookshelf, I recommend this one.

Just like it says this book is the players guide to W:tF. It has loads of info on the tribes of the moon and several new gift lists and rites. One section I found interesting talks about alliances between packs and goes into detail about how wan why they are made. Over all it gave me a bunch of ideas for my chronical. I recomend this to anyone playing Werewolf.

I received the book within days of the purchase and in tip top condition. I wouldn't hesitate to make a purchase from them again.

One thing that amazes me is the quality of supplements for Werewolf: the Forsaken. Pretty much everything released thus far has added depth and value to my games, and this one is no exception. Billed as the 'player's guide' for Werewolf, this book delivers exactly what it promises. The first part of the book goes into detail about each of the five Tribes of the Moon, exploring their individual culture, history, Auspice roles, and views on Renown, Harmony and Primal-Urge, as well as giving some sample story hooks. It has everything from mention of Blood Talon warriors who rode with the Mongols, to the roles assigned to Bone Shadow Irraka, to the Iron Master tradition of wearing decorations in their fur. And so much more. This is all stuff that expands upon and compliments what was written in the core book. Theres also a section on Ghost Wolves, explaining how and why Uratha choose the path, what their lives are like, and most intriguingly, options for STs to create a new 'sixth Tribe', with a few sample 'Tribes' included for good measure. Of course, as with everything else in the nWoD, this is all purely optional and STs can feel free to use or discard it as they see fit.

The next chapter is named Meat, appropriately enough, and contains just that. It's full of optional new Merits, Flaws, Gifts, Rites, Fetishes and Talens. Tooth and Claw, a new Fighting Style Merit, is introduced, and each Tribe gets a new Gift list, as well as suggestions for further Gifts (though it's recommended the ST be careful to keep things balanced). I found the Weakness and Information Gifts especially intriguing, but theres almost a dozen to choose from! Theres also examination of Harmony and, most importantly, pack structure, including new rules for using pack tactics! The final chapter, named Bones, goes into more detail on setting. A major portion of it deals with Protectorates, alliances between packs, and large scale interaction between local Uratha. This sort of stuff will doubtless be useful for Forsaken LARPs, but equally interesting was the examination of Uratha culture across the globe. Both the culture and regional problems are shown, along with several very different sample NPCs. How do the Uratha of the Middle East and North Africa view Islam? What strange cults threaten those in the Mediterranean? How much influence comes from the tribal animistic beliefs of Africa? And what are the Pure up to in Asia? All these are answered in this last section.

All in all, this is an excellent book. The sections on Tribe and global culture are excellent for adding some new dimension to characters, while the information on setting is useful for any large scale game. And, needless to say, the new mechanics are invaluable as well. Especially the stuff about packs. And, like I said, pretty much everything published so far has been a great resource. I find much of the information from this book going hand in hand with other resources, like Shadows of the UK and Lodges: the Splintered, adding more regional detail and variation to the setting. Whether you want to run a game in the wastes of the Sahara, or the slums of Rio, or the good old U-S-of-A, you'll find this book incredingly useful. I strongly recommend this as a resource for both players and STs.

I came across this book as an Amazon recommendation.
Wilson was one of my least favourite Presidents - so I thought this may give me another perspective.
I was captivated by the book - the complexity of WW's charachter, the same mistakes continuously repeated with links to his parental relationships.
In 50 years time someone will write a best seller of the Clintons as a psychological profile - this was the precedent.

Great book. Great surprise.

required reading as background history to understand the future we need to understand the past to the best of our abilities

This books presents a "personality study" of Wilson. I ordered it as a political scientist interested in individual-level analyses of international relations. I came to it with little or no particular interest in Wilson or House (who?) or American politics during the Wilson administration. I knew nothing of the authors.

I read the book in 2 days because I could not put it down. It well deserves the status of "classic." Although the psychological disposition and development of Wilson provide a motif throughout, the authors state their case in moderate terms and are kind enough to limit jargon-filled discussions to very few pages. Some readers will sense contradictions in the analysis, but they are not too distracting. Meanwhile, an impressive tale is told. The reader goes from the singing of hymns in church as a child to a bizarre last speech on a balcony (before Wilson dies). Wilson emerges as a perfectionist, an idealist, one full of self-doubt, and yet one unwilling to compromise EVER ! He also emerges as someone who had low self-esteem and a giant, hyper-sensitive ego which allowed him about 3 friends (his 2 wives and Colonel House). House was valued by Wilson because he knew how (and was willing)to flatter and say "yes" a lot to Wilson (to his face anyway). Personal diaries and letters add color to the discussion of the relationship. Wilson's complex make-up interestingly resulted in all too predictable dispositions and behavior. Participants at the Paris Peace Conference and Senator Henry Cabot Lodge understood this and played him like a cheap deck of cards. Thus, this great read teaches lessons about politics, personality and life!

Gives a sensitive, solid, and comprehensive insight into the art of filmmaking.

If you are a serious film buff, you will want to get Volume One of John Wakeman's incredible 247 page work on about four hundred film directors born before 1920 and well launched on their careers before 1945, primarily in the U.S. and Europe. Wakeman's book includes a photo, detailed biography, critical film reviews and a complete filmography for every director listed. All of my favorites are here along with many fascinating directors that I've only heard mention of elsewhere. Flipping through this volume, I come across Robert Bresson, Jean Cocteau, Maya Deren, King Vidor and many other notable and under appreciated directors. A small critiscism is that artists who dabbled in film and influenced other filmmakers, such as Joseph Cornell, are not included. Wakeman also acknowledges that his plan to include a few of the most admired Chinese directors "were undone by a lack of reliable information" in the early-mid 1980's. Despite these lapses, this is the only reference book to cover many of these directors and to go into such detail about their lives and their films. If you love film and its history, it is well worth having.

This work covers the major world film directors who had at least made a significant start on their careers by 1945. As a film historian who frequently analyzes directors and their films, I found this volume extremely valuable. It gives one a perfect opportunity to quickly cover the scope of a director's entire career, reading quotes from the director as well as opinions of prominent critics about significant films from that individual's career.

"World Film Directors" also provides a film historian or fan with the opportunity to enhance his or her perspective of a particular movie by receiving important information on the making of the film, as well as the director's view of the subject matter, as well as opinions of reviewers.

What impressed me most about this work was the exhaustive manner in which it covered film history from 1890-1945. While the breadth is spectacular, the book never bogs down into trivia or fact recitation for its own sake. The directors' lives and careers, as well as their significant films, are covered with the microscope applied to substance rather than minutiae.

This book rates as one of my favorites and I would recommend this one to anyone serious about vintage Beetles!
If you're serious about having your Beetle 100% original this book shows the reader the 49-59 annual changes made to the Beetle and what options are correct based on serial (production) numbers of the car.
It also shows correct paint codes and the options for the different models of the car (deluxe, standard, or export).
This period of the production of the Beetle is probably the favorite for any vintage fan and this book is definately an interesting and informative read.

Whether you own a 1949-1959 Beetle, or just dream of one, this is your book! It contains extensive information on your dream car, and guides you through the car in an excellent manner. The authors of this book have made thorough research before writing the book, and that benefits the reader. You can rest assured that the information you find here is accurate, and will help you understanding your car better. Because after all, it's not just a car, it's a lifestyle! You will find all the details you need about your car, which in it's turn will make you a better Beetle-owner.

Frank is a truly unique consultant. Honest, very knowledgeable and very hard working. I had the pleasure of working on a project with Frank while he worked SRM. I gave him a copy of Jim Stewart's book for reference and it gave him a little info but found a lot of holes in it.
When Frank came around and started writing the book, he ploughed his heart and sole into it, not wanting it to turn out the same way as the other SRM books on the market. The finished product is a wealth of information from a very smart individual. Well worth it. Good luck to you Frank.

This book is clearly written by a pro who has crossed the implementation pond of SAP SRM several times back and forth.
A valuable tool for recruiters, employers and project staffers alike to seperate the SRM men from the boys.
A great add-on and must-read to any SAP SRM curriculum for consultants.
If only such a CRM oriented book had existed in my SAP CRM Product Manager days...
