Book Description
Virginia, the "Old Dominion" state, is at once timeless and strikingly contemporary. Birthplace of eight of America's presidents, including Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe, and home to an impressive array of ultra-modern industries, Virginia is a land of endless variety, beauty, and charm. A state of seeming contradictions—onetime queen of the confederacy yet proud to elect as Governor the grandson of former slaves—Virginia celebrates its vivid and romantic past, while striding towards it future confidently.
A land of serenely bucolic landscapes, of fox hunts, debutante cotillions, peaceful plantations, and stately historic tours, Virginia also dazzles with its diversity. Where else can one leave the glistening strand of Virginia Beach for the airy splendor of the Blue Ridge Mountains? What other state boasts both legendary Jamestown—site of England's first permanent colony in the New World—and rustic Chincoteague Island, second home to wild ponies descended from horses that swam to safety after a Spanish galleon sank? Indeed, Virginia is the site of many of America's most famous cultural landmarks and homes—Colonial Williamsburg, Appomattox Court House, and Jefferson's classically proportioned Monticello, just to name a few.
Virginia, A Pictorial Souvenir is a marvelous photographic portrait that vividly captures this historic state. It guides the reader to such architectural splendors ad Danville's Millionaire's Row with its magnificent Victorian and Edwardian home, and spectacular sites such as the Natural Bridge in the Shenandoah Valley and the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway. These images and more make this book a perfect keepsake for anyone acquainted with the timeless charms of "Old Virginny."

Virginia: A Photographic Tour by Carol M. Highsmith & Ted.......2001-01-05
Being a proud native Virginian, I have read many a book about our great Commonwealth. None, however, have captured the true spirit and beauty of Virginia the way "Virginia: A Photographic Tour" by Carol Highsmith and Ted Landphair does. The photography is so pure and captivating and the text captures the best of each corner and story of Virginia. Highsmith and Landphair make me feel as if I were there in person. Isn't that what a geat book does, bring you into the very pages you are reading? I enjoyed this book so much I bought 12 copies to give as Christmas gifts. Already I have received thank you notes and calls with similar responses to mine. These responses are what inspired me to write this review.

Book Description
This volume represents the first collection of articles contributed by research leaders working on the Myb family of transcriptional regulatory proteins. In more than twenty chapters the authors discuss the range of biological processes and diverse cell types in which Myb proteins operate. Although concentrating on the three vertebrate Myb family members, homologues from lower species are also discussed because of the light they are able to shed on the evolution and function of these proteins. Individual chapters describe the involvement of Myb proteins, in particular c-Myb, in normal and diseased development and function of many tissues including haemopoietic cells, blood vessels, the gastrointestinal tract and the brain. Several chapters explore the mechanistic details of the action of Myb proteins, especially structural features, their interaction with DNA and other regulatory proteins, and the variety of genes that are regulatory targets for this group of transcription factors. This work will be of interest to those working directly in the field and also to the wider research community investigating the transcriptional regulation of development, differentiation and growth. The therapeutic potential of manipulating Myb function is also discussed making the book appealing to clinician scientists in several fields including haematology, oncology and cardiology.

amazing... .......2007-05-07
This book was sooo interesting, I couldn't put it down. Despite being Christian or not, (I being in the latter category), it really shines new light on how you see the Christian faith, or any faith in general.
bastardized, trite, dogmatic, vulgar thinking relieved ocassionaly by a flash of wit.......2006-10-22
So much for the most "lucid" of German prose writers, doesn't anyone think it peculiar his style resembles that of a conspiracy theorist warning us of the perils of the illumati and the freemasons. It is dogmatic to the point of shrill, and surprisingly lacking in real self-confidence. (perhaps he using his rhetoric as a way to convince himself of things not even he can believe.) It is full of vulgar unnatural and irational opinions meant mainly to shock lacking true conviction in the end. There is a constant confusion of thought and feeling, a endless muddying of the waters of interesting thought by a kind of upside down stoicism that could only be the product of a thorougly dacadent romanticism. There is also a kind of disturbing right wing athuritarianism,that is obviously the product of (M. Andre Gide's words )Nietschze's insane jealousy of Christ. He distorts history into a recreation of his own amusing and rather twisted pysche. His rants against christianity, while amusing, are often a attack on liberal christianity, which Nietschze being the ultra right winger he is patently despises. They confirm always a midn that worships strength as a confession of weakness.
Nietzsche is NOT the antichrist!.......2006-08-21
Nietzsche is not fed up with christianity, he is fed up with christians, and the people who distort christianity. Nietzsche is not the antichrist, he is simply the Messenger in a greek tragedy. We are the antichrist.
"In reality there has been ofnly one christian, and he died on the cross. The Evangel died on the cross. what was called 'Evangel' from that moment on was already the oposite of what he had lived"
antichrist 39
Five stars for Nietzsche, three for the lack of notes. Also, there are many times when Nietzsche writes in french or latin and there is no note or translation.

Assault Upon All That Is Conventional.......2006-06-20
To read, and to review, Fredrich Nietzsche who is one of the pre-eminent philosophers of the modern era is not a task to be taken lightly. A critique of his work is probably beyond the purview of one sitting or one writer.
Here, Penguin Classics combines two of his better-known works, Twilight Of The Idols and The Anti-Christ, into one tome. Both works were, perhaps ironically, written at the twilight of the German philosophers life. He would descend into personal chaos a year after finishing the latter title and end up insane. The coming of the conflict would not have been a surprise given the polemic, frustrated and bitter nature of his work here. Bearing that, Nietzsche also musters enough humour amidst his onslaught of logic to cast a bitter smile upon his subjects.
While The Twilight Of The Idol (his unkind take on Wagner's Twilight Of The Gods) is a panoramic and wide-reaching synopsis of his misanthropy and clash with conventional history, The Anti-Christ turns his pen into a more focused attack against Christianity. Taking accepted thinking and the mainstream as his prey, the German philosopher spares no fire when bearing down on Greek philosophy, Englishmen, Germans and the Jews, among others. Christianity might be his main source of contempt, and certainly his keen interpretation of that dogma is torrid and furious, but Nietzsche's mildly tolerant views on Buddhism, the Romans and Islamic Moors, in contrast, must have juxtaposed his condemnation even further and driven his contemporaries and eventual enemies just as much into furor.
Despite several notable contradictions and conflicting arguments the books and Nietzsche are both a fascinating revelation of the world mythos and an unrelenting denigration of individual thought patterns.
On the Brink.......2006-01-01
The two works contained in this volume were the last two works that Friedrich Nietzsche was to complete in his lifetime. Shorly after finishing them, he went insane, and in reading The Anti-Christ, in particular, one senses that he is very much at the end of his rope.
There are two ways of reading this book. I fear that many read it primarily as an attack on Christianity (which it certainly is), but it is also far more than that. If one takes Nietzsche's tirades against Christianity (in both its Protestant and Roman Catholic variants) seriously, one is left with a sort of bad version of Feuerbach: highly reactionary, occasionally humorous, and without the potential for changing minds. In short, Nietzsche's attacks are really quite banal and devoid of creativity - not to mention that he did them better in his younger days before his madness began to set in.
The second way of reading this book is the way that both shows Nietzsche's insight and the frightening ways in which his insight would be picked up by the Nazis, in particular: "When one gives up Christian belief one thereby deprives oneself of the *right* to Christian morality" (Twilight, 80). Nietzsche sought to replace Christian morality with Dionysian morality, which celebrated destruction as much as it celebrated creation, which looked toward what he termed, in an earlier work, "the overman" who was humanity risen above itself.
If one wants to understand Nietzsche, one must not read him as the anti-prophet (indeed, the anti-Christ) of God's death, but of the anti-prophet of life after the death of God, which is also the death of all that this God anchored. It is an irony that the self-styled anti-Christ who "philosophized with a hammer" so as to "sound out idols" would spend the last 10 years of his life clinically insane while the world outside would just begin to discover him. The question that must be asked is whether or not the location of the concentration camp Buchenwald directly across the valley from the Nietsche archive in Weimar is a continuance of this irony or its natural consummation.
Book Description
`Anyone who wants to gain a quick idea of how before me everything was topsy-turvy should make a start with this work. That which is called idol on the title-page is quite simply that which was called truth hitherto. Twilight of the Idols - in plain words: the old truth is coming to an end...' Nietzsche intended Twilight of the Idols to serve as a short introduction to his philosophy, and as a result it is the most synoptic of all his books. Continuing in the spirit of its immediate predecessors On The Genealogy of Morals and The Wagner Case, it is a masterpiece of polemic, targeting not only `eternal idols' like Socratic rationality and Christian morality but also their contemporary counterparts, as Nietzsche the `untimely man' goes roaming in the gloaming of nineteenth-century European culture. He allies philosophy with psychology and physiology, relentlessly diagnozing the symptoms of decadence, and his stylistic virtuosity is such that the sheer delight he takes in his 'demonic' mischief-making communicates itself on every page. A brilliant new translation, this edition provides detailed commentary on a highly condensed and allusive work.
Customer Reviews:
buy a different translation.......2001-10-06
For the sake of brevity, I will say merely that this translation was entirely successful in its aim to vulgarize Nietzsche's stylistic idiosyncracies for the sake of mass consumption. This is a beautiful book, and deserves a more sympathetic treatment. R.J. Hollingdale's translation is the best, but even Walter Kaufmann's is preferable to this one. It DOES matter!
A Philosophy of the Hammer.......2001-02-25
In this book, Nietzsche is concerned with bringing about the end of those idols that have the "feet of clay." Much has grown hollow in the light of modern discoveries, and the old idols must fall. We are not to worry too much about what shall replace them, because Nietzsche's hammer is impatient to speak. And new values need room before they can flourish, so it is out with traditional (mis)conceptions for Nietzsche.
This book is an interesting insight into Nietzsche's, if not the human, psyche. He reveals the insecurity that must stalk those who fancy to be significant people (are you really the ideal/person you represent to be, or just an actor?) This book is also the origin of the famous "what does not destroy me, makes me stronger" maxim. It's a terse and impressive statement, but it is clearly not always true. You may not come out stronger out an illness or a psychologically traumatic experience. Nietzsche overvalues hardness and overestimates the power of the subconsiouss to motivate our actions. As a short and insightful book, however, this is still a great read.
Praising Nietzsches attacks on humanity.......1999-03-19
ALtough this isn't the best or most sophisticated work Nietzsche has to offer, it certainly is worth reading for anyone interested in his life and works. It is some kind of summary of everything he has said in his previous books. Christianity, morals, Kant.. it's all in here. His last attempt to show the world what it's all about, just before he went insane. My favorite part are the first couple of pages where statements can be found like "Is man just a mistake of God, or is God just a mistake of man?". Absolutely recommended for anyone whose interested in philosephy in general and Nietzsche particulary.
