5 out of 5 stars "Intentional" Connecting with Nature .......2004-08-10

The Findhorn Book of CONNECTING WITH NATURE explores an entertaining range of topics designed to connect the physical, emotional, & spiritual aspects of the reader with the complete spectrum of Nature that surrounds us all.

As the authors states, "You can reclaim your natural roots & access the peace & strength of knowing where you live. The advantages of doing so are wonderful & real. The world of Nature is life affirming; it offers a healing, vitalizing alternative to the activities & distractions of the modern world."

Whether we connect with our own garden, a favorite tree, a fly on the windowsill, or the phases of the moon, John R. Stowe expertly leads us to a deeper, and more joyful, understanding of Nature's presence throughout our immediate environment.

The author uses his own observations & those of participants in his workshops to cultivate a basic theme: the benefits derived from taking time to "tune in", in order to "start cultivating a deeper relationship" with all aspects of "The Living Earth".

"All these explorations are active, ongoing, & continually evolving," the author continues. "Our goal is to learn how to move beyond the old, harmful belief in separation & to learn--each in his or her own way--how to promote a new depth of harmony & balance within ourselves & the rest of the living world."

The end of each Chapter offers a variety of exercises to further ground our "intentional connection" with the natural world. Following through on even a small portion of these "experiences" & related suggestions would definitely lead the reader to a more intentional & productive relationship with all living entities on this planet.

As with all books by John R. Stowe, ample material, is presented in an insightful, sincere, & enthusiastic manner.

With illustrations by the author and a well-annotated list of other books on related topics, The Findhorn Book of CONNECTING WITH NATURE is an excellent & intuitive guidebook for those wishing to more fully experience the many benefits derived from one's own "Intentional Connection" with the Rhythms, Power, & Beauty of our Living Earth.

This book is most highly recommended!

                      5 out of 5 stars Must have guide for the Virgin Islands........2004-12-16

                      This and Frommer's guides always make up the bulk of my reseach before a production. In this case, I shot 2 weeks in the US and British Virgin Islands, relying mainly on these books. They offset each others weekness and/or gaps. Also, their contradicitons in beach or housing ratings are interesting. The maps are good including Ferry company names so you can look up the travel times and dates on the internet. (Just avoid Speedy's old Ferrys, one blew its engine and almost sank on me going to Virgin Gorda. We were rescued just in time.) I shot "The Best Virgin Island Beaches" DVD here on Amazon.com. So, after you read about these places, and you really want to see, hear and feel them, check our our DVDs.

                                Recoiling from a body blow to his injured shoulder, Air Force Captain Troy Bench crumples to the floor, writhing in pain. He wonders how much longer he can resist the physical and psychological punishment dealt by his Soviet interrogators. He thinks of his family and his Air Force Academy training, and is inspired. But is it too late? Has he already let them down? His mind sinks into despair.

                                Noble Cause cleverly weaves an intriguing story of a young Strategic Air Command jet bomber crew caught up in a shrewd scheme to deceive the enemy during the harrowing days of the Cold War.

                                      Book Description

                                      The close association between the United States and the Federal Republic of Germany was a key element in the international order of the Cold War era. No country had as wide-reaching or as profound an impact on the western portion of divided Germany as the United States. No country better exemplified the East-West conflict in American thinking than Germany. The United States and Germany in the Era of the Cold War examines all facets of German-American relations and interaction in the decades from the defeat of the Third Reich to Germany’s reunification in 1990. In addition to its comprehensive treatment of US-West German political, economic, social, and cultural ties, The United States and Germany in the Era of the Cold War provides an overview of the more limited dealings between the US and the communist German Democratic Republic.

                                                      This book provides a thorough development of the powerful methods of heavy traffic analysis and approximations with applications to a wide variety of stochastic (e.g. queueing and communication) networks, for both controlled and uncontrolled systems. The approximating models are reflected stochastic differential equations. The analytical and numerical methods yield considerable simplifications and insights and good approximations to both path properties and optimal controls under broad conditions on the data and structure. The general theory is developed, with possibly state dependent parameters, and specialized to many different cases of practical interest. Control problems in telecommunications and applications to scheduling, admissions control, polling, and elsewhere are treated. The necessary probability background is reviewed, including a detailed survey of reflected stochastic differential equations, weak convergence theory, methods for characterizing limit processes, and ergodic problems.

                                                      Another advanced and well written technical offering from Springer. Graduate students and researchers might enjoy Kushner's explanation of stochastic networks and his development of queuing theory. The treatment is sophisticated and demands a strong background in probability and statistics.

                                                      As a practical approach, he explains how often you have no other recourse but to solve the differential equations numerically. This method is shown with several examples, that help yield insight. (Though, of course, you should always strive to find analytic solutions.)

                                                      Kushner applies his analysis to several important cases. Most notably the modelling of the loads on a communication network.

                                                      Book Description

                                                      Xenophon's masterpiece The Education of Cyrus--a work admired by Machiavelli for its lessons on leadership--is at last available in a new English translation for a new century. Also known as the Cyropaedia, this philosophical novel is loosely based on the accomplishments of Cyrus the Great, founder of the vast Persian Empire that later became the archrival of the Greeks in the classical age. It offers an extraordinary portrait of political ambition, talent, and their ultimate limits.

                                                      The writings of Xenophon are increasingly recognized as important works of political philosophy. In The Education of Cyrus, Xenophon confronts the vexing problem of political instability by exploring the character and behavior of the ruler. Impressive though his successes are, however, Cyrus is also examined in the larger human context, in which love, honor, greed, revenge, folly, piety, and the search for wisdom all have important parts to play.

                                                      Wayne Ambler's prose captures the charm and drama of the work while also achieving great accuracy. His introduction, annotations, and glossary help the reader to appreciate both the engaging story itself and the volume's contributions to philosophy.

                                                      This book was indepth research of King of kings Cyrus the Great with respect how did He became the King of Persia/Iran.

                                                      Interestingly, Cyrus the Great became the King of Iran not by having large army but by hard work, and relying on His good allies and friends to establish His empire.

                                                      This truly is one of the most remarkable books I've ever read and I would encourage anyone with an interest in military science, government or leadership to take the time to read it. This book requires commitment and a quiet place to read and savor its thought-provoking passages. The investment of time and effort is dwarfed by the magnitude of the lessons this book has to offer. Make the commitment and you'll see why this book was a favorite of men like Alexander the Great, Scipio Africanus, Caesar and Machiavelli.

                                                      This book is not in the style of a Platonic dialogue, or a play (whether a tragedy or comedy), a Homeric epic (but if you're careful, you'll note parallels), or a history (like Herodotus).

                                                      No, Xenophon - a contemporary of Plato's, a student of Socrates - was considered a philosopher way back when. He tells a story and you might think it is a history that is meant to be accurate. There is nothing accurate about Xenophon's use of history in this book; however, the story is well-told and funny, and the prose moves fast in this edition. (Which was your primary concern, of course: that this was a good read.)

                                                      He does teach philosophy - ancient philosophy concerned with ethics and politics - in an interesting way. The plot of the book is as follows: Cyrus of Persia receives an education unlike any of his peers. With that education, and a considerable bit of ruthlessness, he attempts to take over the world.

                                                      It's difficult to write a story where different philosophical viewpoints define characters and events. Somehow, Xenophon pulls this off, and manages to entertain his reader with tales of battles, lots of humorous exchanges between characters, and even some love stories strewn throughout.

                                                      (If you do Classics, you probably want to get acquainted with Xenophon, fast.)

                                                      5 out of 5 stars A Brilliant Read.......2003-02-24

                                                      Herodotus' Histories is often considered the gold standard of knowledge pertaining to the Persian empire. Little is made of the fact that this Ionian had certain political grudges against his political masters and had never visited Persia or had entry into Persian society. Xenophone however was a nobleman who lived amongst the Persians and the Medes and was acquaianted with their ways and histories. Xenophone's observations on Persian society and religion are far closer to modern scholarship than Herodotus. Furthermore even the chronological inaccuracies of Cyropaedia are in the Persian tradition. As evidenced by Sassanian histories, the Persians had the habit of attributing the conquests of dynasties to their founders. However the most fascinating and thrilling aspect of reading this book is that the educational stories attributed to Cyrus are identical to the stories found in Adab or the Persian courtly literature of Islamic era. Given that Xenophone was not translated into Persian or Arabic, this confirms the authenticity of the materials used by Xenophone. I love this book and have read it twice already. I recommend it to anyone who wants to have a closer look at the realities of Persia.

                                                      5 out of 5 stars The opposite of xenophobia.......2000-10-02

                                                      Xenophobia is the fear of foreigners. Yet Xenophon's greatest book was a biography of the most hated foe of the greeks, Cyrus.

                                                      Cyrus was the greatest emperor of the Persian empire, and the antecedent (see what a great scholar I am? I can't remember all the exact facts like a real student should; I read this stuff for fun) of the Persian emperor who Alexander defeated right before Alexander went crazy and decided to conquer the rest of the world while he was on a streak.

                                                      In today's Jingoistic anti-Iran & Iraq climate, it's illuminating to get the Persian perspective on world history, and since I haven't found any Persian histories written from the ancient Persian viewpoint, this book is the best I've read.
