          Book Description

          Many Christians today are caught in the same trap as their unchurched peers-reacting to decisions and events rather than understanding how life's seasons tie together and what God is looking for in each. For those seeking a sharper vision of God's plan for them, the life of King David presents a portrait of an imperfect yet godly leader-a person who stumbled and soared through seven interwoven seasons of life. Retired pastor and businessman Thomas A. Vaughn demonstrates how David allowed God to help him build a foundation for life in his boyhood season. Vaughn then takes readers into David's times of battle, wilderness, blessings, and even backslidings, before exploring how the man after God's own heart found forgiveness and left a formidable legacy. Readers will be encouraged to do the same with this seamless and discerning book.

            Author/illustrator Diane Iverson introduces the young child to the wonders of the changing seasons in Discover the Seasons. Rich illustrations and sensitive poetry vividly capture the unique spirit of each part of the year: celebration for spring, learning for summer, work for fall and rest for winter.

Tasty recipes using freshly gathered fruits and vegetables provide the final, irresistible highlight for each season.

            & 150 drawings & 6 x 9 . For beginning naturalists of any age Winter is no time to limit nature activity. In Discover Nature in Winter, informative background on melt-freeze cycles, winter stargazing, deciduous and coniferous trees, wildlife behavior, and much more are paired with hands-on explorations that bring the winter season to life: determining windchill, observing winter constellations, identifying tree branch patterns, studying life in frozen ponds. In this book, snow is not the defining characteristic of winter, but a drop in temperature, making the activities appropriate for readers in any region. With little more than a notebook, a hand lens, and curiosity, readers will be equipped for limitless winter discovery. Elizabeth Lawlor and Pat Archer have also teamed up on Discover Nature at the Seashore, Discover Nature Close to Home, and Discover Nature at Sundown

            5 out of 5 stars Neat book!!!.......2003-09-07

            I always wondered what happened during winter - how does so much spring forth in springtime when its so quiet over the winter. This book gives us a terrific foundation for understanding all that. There are chapters on trees and what's going on inside them, "winter weeds," insects and how they overwinter in their different forms, and mammals and what they're doing to survive. Its just so absolutely amazing. There are activities throughout the book as well so it doesn't need to be just a nice winter read but a nice chance to get outside and explore too!

                    A friend had the book and we all loved it. I can't wait to get my own copy. The book is fun, creative, well done and brings back many memories of hours of fun and the joys of youth.

                    5 out of 5 stars Barbie Loves L.A........2004-04-01

                    This book is just TOOOO CUTE! It is so well done from the text to the photographs. I still have my #6 Barbie with many of the clothes featured in the book and the photographs of my favourite hot spots in L.A. The book makes this such a special souvenir (it was a birthday gift)uniting my childhood with the present. Barbie, I'm 2 years older than you and look just as great!!!

                    5 out of 5 stars This book is fab!.......2004-02-09

                    Barbie loves L.A. is by far the cutest book I have ever seen. I postitvely love it! My favorite picture would have to be Barbie at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. Barbie's outfits are so rad and she goes to a bunch of my favorite places in L.A.! I wish some of those outfits were mine!

                    5 out of 5 stars I love Barbi.......2004-01-26

                    Fabulous! Fabulous! Fabulous! If you love Barbie or love L.A. you will love this book. If you hate L.A. and love Barbie you will love this book. If you hate Barbie and love L.A. you will love this book and if you hate both you will still love this book.

                    It's really great.

                              Book Description

                              The systems movement is made up of many systems societies as well as of disciplinary researchers and researches, explicitly or implicitly focusing on the subject of systemics, officially introduced in the scientific community fifty years ago. Many researches in different fields have been and continue to be sources of new ideas and challenges for the systems community. To this regard, a very important topic is the one of EMERGENCE. Between the goals for the actual and future systems scientists there is certainly the definition of a general theory of emergence and the building of a general model of it.

                              The goal of this book, is to recall to the systems community an important challenge to be dealt with in the immediate future: the study and characterization of general features of what is commonly qualified as ` emergence', chiefly in complex systems such as biological and cognitive ones. Such a topic was a fundamental one at the very beginning of the systemic movement, and to it the founding fathers, such as Von Bertalanffy, Ashby and Von Foerster, devoted most efforts. In more recent times, however, the interests shifted towards an empirical study of systemic properties characterizing human organizations, and the subject of emergence was partly abandoned. Notwithstanding, the understanding of what is emergence, and of the circumstances which allow for its occurrence within a complex system, is of crucial importance for systemics. Namely all systemic properties - the ones which allow a system to behave as a whole and not as an aggregate of constituents - are just emergent properties.

                                "There is not one human problem which could not be solved if people would simply do as I advise." So said Gore Vidal.

                                Almost sixty years ago, Gore Vidal burst onto the literary landscape with his World War II novel "Williwaw". He never looked back. To date he has published twenty-nine novels, one short story collection, six theatrical plays, and numerous books of nonfiction. His novel "The City and the Pillar" (1948) was a groundbreaking work in the history of homosexual literature. In "Myra Breckinridge" (1968) Vidal created a ribald parody of sexual morality and identity. In 1967 Vidal published "Washington, D.C.". It would be the first of seven novels that have come to be known as the American Chronicles, a sprawling history of the empire filled with a cast of the most significant social, literary, and political figures of the United States.

                                Conversations with Gore Vidal features provocative and intriguing interviews with one of America's most prolific authors. Vidal was an enfant terrible in the 1940s and a marginalized homosexual in the 1950s. As Edgar Box he wrote mysteries and as a screenwriter he penned the script for Ben-Hur. In 1960 he ran for Congress. In the 1990s, he appeared in films such as "Gattaca", "Bob Roberts", and "Shadow Conspiracy". His essay collection "United States: Essays 1952-1992", which features 114 pieces on everything from Howard Hughes to French literature, won the National Book Award.

                                Vidal proves himself here to be a witty, acerbic, cantankerous conversationalist, one who is willing to --- and often eager to --- defy conventional wisdom and lacerate the tired clichés inherent in both politics and literature. A defiant political insider who is related to both the Gores and the Kennedys, he is a proud Leftist who nevertheless does not hesitate to slash at party orthodoxy when he deems it necessary.

                                Being more familiar with Vidal the personality than Gore the author, I was fascinated by this series of interviews that took place over decades. He is incredibly bright, witty and insightful. He is also very consistent in his stories from interview to interview. It was a pleasure to read.

                                4 out of 5 stars A Fun Collection.......2006-07-18

                                Gore Vidal is one of America's wittiest and intelligent commentators (besides a first class novelist and essayist). This collection of interviews given between the years 1960 and 2003 are presented chronologically which allows the reader to watch how Vidal's views and opinions develop and shift. Being a collection of interviews many of the anecdotes get to be a bit repetitious. Other than that, the collection covers a wide range of subjects -- American history, the craft of writing, the state of literature, television, movies, and politics of all kinds. And all subjects, Gore Vidal gives a lot of food for thought.

                                5 out of 5 stars Gore scores again.......2006-07-13

                                As always, Gore Vidal is direct,honest and penetrating in his perceptions of the American and human cultural experience. Who do we have to fill this gap when he is gone?

                                5 out of 5 stars Conversations with the Master.......2005-03-22

                                In 11 interviews from 1960 to 2003, Vidal talks about sex, religion, the movies, politics, literature--in short, everything that makes life interesting. Lots of gems scattered throughout. Vidal is America's greatest living man of letters. Not since Edmund Wilson have we had such a great critic, and the two of them along with H.L. Mencken comprise the three great public intellectuals of 20th-century America. Hear America's greatest public intellectual talk in this new volume. The only disappointment you'll feel is when the conversation runs out at the end.

                                I wrote VIEWS with Gore Vidal almost twenty years ago. It is a delight to see that it has been a source of information for various scholars throughout these many years. I arranged the book in a new way for doing interviews, putting Vidal into a dramatic setting where he had to answer questions from more than twenty of us engaged in interviewing him. I myself interviewed him off and on for more than three years. Reviewers at the time called my format a new kind of Mega-interview form. I recently included material from VIEWS in a huge 750-page study that will be published by Edwin Mellen Press in 2001, a work to be known as GORE VIDAL: A MENIPPEAN SATIRIST. Vidal is America's greatest satirist--ever! And those people who read VIEWS will see that Vidal spares very few his quick thrusts of ridicule to bring them down to earth for a good laugh--at their expense, of course.
