Chilton Reviews

A nice help for the basics of the car, and almost everything about the engine, transmission and suspensions. With this book, you can keep your car like new, checking the work of your local FIAT service or doing it yourself.

It seems this is the ONLY workshop manual available for the Fiat Tempra. So if, like me, you have one of these excellent and underrated cars, this book will be an essential purchase. Am I saying that Fiats go wrong a lot? Not exactly, but the Tipo/Tempra is a complex vehicle, and knowing what's going on under the bonnet is a useful help. There is no Haynes manual for these cars, so, look, if you want a workshop manual, get this one.

This book, received as a gift, is one of the finest and most enjoyable art books I've read (in several decades of reading books on art). It covers the history and technique in detail - along with the behind-the-scenes stories and fascinating intrigue related to the theatre, the factories, and the courts of the period. The prose is authoritative and lively, and the color plates are absolutely breathtaking. It's exquisitely produced - a coffee table book that captivates all my guests.

Publisher's Info

The lack of serious and sustained investigation of the historical figure of James "the Just", brother of Jesus, is one of the curious oversights in modern critical study of Christian origins. James the Just and Christian Origins addresses this problem. The questions that surround this exceedingly important, yet largely ignored figure are several and complicated. Was he really the brother of Jesus? How influential was he in the early church? What was the nature of his relationship to the other apostles, especially to Paul? How did James understand Christianity's relationship to Judaism and to the people of Israel? Out of this grows a very important question: In its generative moment, was Christianity in fact as well as in its self-awareness, a species of Judaism? Contributors from several countries are currently engaged in collaborative study in James and early Jewish Christianity. James the Just and Christian Origins is the first of several planned volumes to be published.

very helpful, just what i needed and recomend any one with a motor that is in this book to get it. The price of the book would only pay for 1 hour of a mechanic that may only be an apprentice on advice, you can do it buy the book and save.

The Book is a great tool to have if you have a Polaris Jetski..and if you are like most people with their toys, you will have a few problems here and there. This manual gave me exact information needed to completely overhaul the machine!

The last time I used a highlighter on a book, it was around 1988, I was writing a college paper on Virginia Woolf's "To the Lighthouse," and I needed to mark recurring themes. In reading "Profound Healing" 15 years later, I finally reached for a highlighter again, because I knew that a) I would be keeping this book for a long time, and b) after I finished gobbling up the "plot," I would want to return to important passages and remind myself of exercises and references. So even if you're like me and using a highlighter on a book is a form of heresy, keep one handy when you're reading "Profound Healing." (I showed the book to my older sister, another book lover like myself, and she pretended to grow faint and need smelling salts when she saw the highlighting!)

This book tells the inspiring story of the author, whom I have met, and her journey from cancer, to an acceptance of and preparation for death, to physical healing. In Part One, she tells of discovering that she had advanced cervical cancer and how she decided to treat it (and NOT with the radical surgery recommended by her doctors). She refers to earlier spiritual training, but fear not! in Part Two she tells that story and introduces us to her spiritual teacher and her own inner (and outer) journeys. Part Three is the post-cancer adjustment period, and Part Four outlines the 12 Steps she identifies for the healing process.

Canfield writes, "Profound healing is not a cessation of physical symptoms, but an expanded awareness of our spiritual nature." She does not "blame the victim" or offer miracle cures for relieving symptoms, but rather points us to a deeper, more numinous realm. Having met Cheryl in person, I can attest that she is an unassuming and humble person and is not caught up in trying to convince people of anything their own intuition doesn't corroborate.

I am a skeptic. I haven't experienced the mystical things Canfield and other spiritual writers say they have experienced. But I don't discount their experiences. Who knows, maybe I'm the woman with her eyes closed who just hasn't seen the sunrise yet -- it doesn't mean that sunrises aren't "real." Fortunately for the skeptics among us, Canfield does not ask us to believe what she believes. She just presents her experience. Take what you can from it and find your own blessings.

This book has detailed step-by-step that makes it easy for even a beginner to assemble the quilts, but provides enough challenge for experienced quilters. I had a great time working my way through this book!!

Ralph Strauch's unique background in both mathematics (working as a Senior Mathematician with the Rand corporation) and the Feldenkrais method of body movement, gives THE REALITY ILLUSION a blended perspective of rational thinking and physical intelligence. Strauch suggests exercises to do by yourself and or with a friend to demonstrate the way our physical strength and health are altered as we change the focus of our attention. This book has excellent illustrations throughout, and is an excellent guidebook for examining our forms of perception.

This book is a tribute to a remarkable jazzman, Henry James "Red" Allen.
