Product Description

Darkness seemed to envelop the famed MacArthur Park, as one man attempted to bring light to its darkest corner. He had been sent more than 7,000 miles to speak to its daunting residents. It was the home of murdrers, drug addicts, thieves, pimps, prostitutes and unfortunately, the destitute and homeless. This is a true story, parts of which you will find hard to believe. It is a moving account of human tragedy, of drug abuse, deceit, greed, pain and death...events so dark and mysterious, the deft humam reasoning.

Keys to Purchasing a Condo or Co-op by Friedman et al........2004-06-20

This is an excellent purchase if you intend to purchase a condo
or coop in the not too distant future. The authors explain the
investment value of condominiums, as well as tax benefits and
the process of qualifying for a low-interest loan. The process
involves an offer, contract and close to transfer title.
A typical checklist of things will involve the following:
o price o maintenance fees
o parking o storage facilities
o life style o ownership approval
o location o utilities
o budget o by-laws

Important documents must be formulated; namely, a declaration
of intent, bylaws, budget and deed. There are a number of important internet sites for buyers of co-ops and condos; namely,
fanniemae.com hudgovlenders hud.gov/broker

This work is an important acquisition , if you intend to buy
a co-op or condominium. The paperwork and legal issues are
considerable. This text explains the details in simple English
with examples of how to fill out the paperwork and negotiation
complexities. It is well worth the price.

Book Description

A third of our time on earth is spent sleeping, yet our dreams, if we remember them at all, have been relegated to nothing more than curious anecdotes. When Sigmund Freud awakened modern interest in the dream a century ago, his theory of interpretation undermined the potential insights dreams had to offer. For Freud, dreams were little more than fragmented puzzle parts made up of events from our waking lives. Most of us today still live under Freud's far-reaching influence. When we wake up after experiencing a powerful series of images, we too readily explain them away or simply ignore them all together. Whatever emotion or insight the dream evokes slowly fades. But what if Freud was wrong? Unless we challenge his deeply-ingrained assumptions, we will forever lose the gift of our dreams.

International bestselling author Rodger Kamenetz believes it is not too late to reclaim the lost power of our nightly visions. Kamenetz's exploration of the world of dreams reopens all the questions scientists and psychologists claimed to have settled long ago. The culmination of decades of research, The History of Last Night's Dream is a riveting intellectual and cultural investigation of dreams and what they have to teach us. We discover how the age-old struggle between what we dream and how we interpret our dreams has shaped Western culture from biblical times to today. Kamenetz introduces us to an eighty-seven-year-old female kabbalist in Jerusalem, a suave Tibetan Buddhist dream teacher in Copenhagen, and a crusty intuitive postman-turned-dream master in northern Vermont. He fearlessly delves into this mysterious inner realm and shows us that dreams are not only intensely meaningful but that they hold essential truths about who we are. In the end, each of us has the choice to embark on this illuminating path to the soul. But one thing is certain: our dreams will never be the same again.

Customer Reviews:

This book is getting great reviews.......2007-10-13

"The History of Last Night's Dream" may well change [your life]. Kamenetz's fierce honesty and unflinching self-revelation inspire both admiration and awe and sympathy and a sense of kinship. We are all dreamers, are we not? This smart, funny, and revolutionary book is filled with compassion for our dreaming minds, for the ways in which they reveal ourselves to ourselves, for the ways our dreams, nighttime or waking, can carry us back to love and so to God.
--Susan Larson, New Orleans Times-Picayune
"Last Night's Dream" is the tale of Kamenetz's attempt to break free ...by training himself to place dream imagery on an equal footing with text in his quest for a spiritual connection. The book is deeply personal and artfully written; Kamenetz was an established poet before his 1994 classic "The Jew in the Lotus" turned him into a Jewish Renewal celebrity. It is also an accessible primer on the evolving status afforded dreams in Jewish and Western thought and science.

Book Description

This book offers a detailed introduction to the tribes of the New England region - the first native American peoples affected by contact with the French and English colonists. By 1700 several tribes had already been virtually destroyed, and many others were soon reduced and driven from their lands by disease, war or treachery. The tribes were also drawn into the savage frontier wars between the French and the British. The final defeat of French Canada and the subsequent unchecked expansion of the British colonies resulted in the virtual extinction of the region's Indian culture, which is only now being revived by small descendant communities.

Indian Tribes of the New England Frontier-Men-at-Arms.......2007-01-29

Very nice short history, and a great painting guide. Highly recommended.

New England frontier tribes .......2006-04-18

Michael Johnson has through Osprey produced a series on the amerindian tribes.

For these interested in brief sketch histories of the tribes of the regions they are quite good.

This one on the tribes of New England pretty much serves that purpose.

For those interested in period information there isn't that much.

The illustrations by Jonathan Smith are quite good though figure A6's hands are too big and too mature for a child's.

Good Book, Slightly Misleading Title.......2007-09-16

This book is subtitled "The complete guide to attracting, identifying, and understanding your feeder birds." While it is good at the "indentifying" and "understanding" parts, it leaves something to be desired in the "attracting" department. I had hoped for a book that would tell me what has a good chance of drawing specific birds, but except for hummingbirds, it really doesn't go into detail about the topic. It's still a good book as far as it goes; I simply don't think that it's much of a guide to attracting the specific birds you have reason to believe are in your area, but goes with a considerably more general approach.

Stokes BirdFeeder.......2007-01-09

You just can't go wrong with this one! For the home user, it really gives you a good amount of information with clear pictures.

Not stoked on Stokes.......2005-08-02

Disappointing. I was expecting an Audubon-style reference book, but got a simpler, very brief, nothing new, thin, magazine-sized tickler. I've heard good things about Stokes, but this book wasn't a winner. Was looking for more details about plantlife, positioning of shrubs, feeders, bird baths, landscaping etc, but book consisted more of bios on birds with a little bird-feeding info. at the beginning of the book. Save your money and go elsewhere. :-(

Good Book For a Beginner.......2005-02-14

As a complete novice to birding and gardening, I found this book a helpful starting point. It does not identify many species, but did help me recognize most of the birds coming to my newly purchased feeders. It contains only the most common birds, the Tufted Titmouse, Cardinals, Black-capped and Carolina Chickadees, etc.

It also contained helpful information as to what common birds favor what types of feeders and provided information on some bird behavior and how to buy binoculars.

The maps of where the birds are found are not very detailed. They also purposely leave out any information on birds some may find undesirable, like Starlings and House Sparrows, which can be aggressive and keep small songbirds away.

This guide is for the utmost, novice and does not contain extremely detailed information on identifying and feeding birds. The information is very generalized and only covers common backyard birds.

Nevertheless, it is a helpful introduction only for someone like me who knew next to nothing when I purchased it.

Great how-to guide for any backyard birder.......2001-11-12

The Stokes have put out several books on birds, and definitely know their stuff. It shows in this book, which has just about everything you could ask for.

One section goes over the different types of feeders, and the various seeds that birds enjoy. Hummingbirds get their own special mention, as do squirrel baffle techniques. There's even a section on bird behavior - what to watch for, what certain things mean.

Then the book goes into the common birds found at backyard feeders. There are lovely photos of each bird, a map showing where they tend to live, how to tell them from other similar birds, how they act, what they eat, and much more.
