Review:This book gave me a different perspective of the Russian people, not necessarily a better one; however a different one. I found they have a fervent love for their country, a deep-seated respect for Stalin and, in my opinion, a strong respect for military action. Stalin-ism killed many of their family, friends and co-harts, imprisoned them, maimed many, destroyed their health, starved them and yet many still wish for his promises, regardless of their cost.
I enjoyed the book from cover to cov... Read more
Review:Katharine Graham's book is a useful study of life in Washington and the Washington Post. This is a very nice audio version of the book. For those who haven't the time to read, or have vision limitations, this is a very good substitute for the book. Read more
Review:I can't believe how interesting this book is. This book will not remind you of the science class that you hated all those years ago. In fact some of the things you were taught back then may have not been completely correct now that gene mapping has started revealing new knowledge!
Get this book! You probably will need to be educated about this stuff in the VERY near future. Read more

Review:It was ok but the author (Joseph Campbell) of this book was from the 1960s and I do have the DVD by the same author on the same subject.. I enjoy reading about Myths and the possible connection with some of its concepts with our Major Religions. My curiosity is because of my lifetime Christian experiences both in our Lutheran Church and in real life. The book then begs the question "Are religions (specific ones ) and Myths more or less one and the same and does that trump peoples faith....a qu... Read more
Review:The Power of Awareness will help you understand the relationship between your consciousness, feelings and subconscious. Neville spells it out clearly in easy to understand language.

Neville's books can help. 5 Stars all the way. Read more
