Helpful resource that could be improved.......2007-05-14

The best thing about The Complete Games Trainers Play is its sheer size. Actually, it isn't nearly as big as some reviews imply. It is really around 1000 pages, not 2000+. And for some reason, a significant percentage of those pages are left blank. But even with that caveat, this is still a sizable resource.

If you are willing to devote 30+ minutes to finding an activity, you are sure to find one (or five) that are ideal for your training event. The fact that individual "games" can be removed from the ring binder is also helpful. This allows you to use the activities without carrying the whole book around, and to easily photocopy sheets for individual participants as some activities require.

However, there are some significant downsides. There is no real way to find appropriate activities without flipping through virtually the entire book. A large number of the activities aren't very good. And, most of the book is in a strange "typewriter" typeface that makes it look like it came from 1972. (Oddly, there are some pages which are randomly sprinkled through the book that use a different, more recent-looking typeface.)

To really upgrade its usefulness, Games . . . would benefit from taking a leap into the computer age. In other words, along with the printed book, a computer CD should be included. This could feature a good, searchable index, which is now lacking. It would also make it possible to print out games, and modify handouts on the computer to your organization's needs.

I've never bought any other resources like this, so I can't say if this is better or worse than others. I can say that in spite of the steep price and the drawbacks, I'm definitely glad I purchased it. It was very useful to me, and will be again in the future. However, there are a few simple steps the authors and publishers could take to greatly improve it.

Trainers Dream.......2006-11-03

This is a great tool of Trainers. Keeping your trainees engaged throughout the training is always a challenge. This tool give creative ways to assess retention of information. The games are great and the administrative forms and suggestions are wonderful.

Lots of games here.......2004-12-08

People love playing games a lot more than listening to lectures; this is indisputable. I didn't like all of the games listed here, but so what. Several I found helpful and intend to use.

Not Impressed.......2003-09-30

Although there is a lot of information packed into this book, I was very unimpressed with the layout and visual design. It looks like it was typed up in 1970. The graphics are ancient and the layout is just one big binder with no cross-referencing or indexing available. To find a useful game, you have to sift through hundreds of pages. It really is a shame, as there are some clever games here to loosen up an audience.
Frankly for this price, I expected something a bit flashier and filled with reproducibles that I would want to copy and hand out. The way it looks now, and with it's unwieldy format, it's going to sit on my shelf.
If I hadn't spilled water on it, I would have sent it back for a refund.

The Complete Games Trainers Play.......2000-05-23

This book was helpful in planning an in-house managment training session. The book is divided into sections making it easy to locate games targeted at specific areas. The book is actually a 3" 3 ring binder. It is a large book, however, it does contain a wealth of information.

Book Description

This book contains more than 100 pages of scanned court rules and court forms from the New York Small Claims Court. These forms and rules are all explained in detail in the main text of the book.

A useful tool.......2007-09-16

This book is a practical tool to take with you to Court. I was able to refer to specific parts that were applicable to my case. As a result, I was able to save time and be more effective.

This book was o.k........2007-01-09

But a but disappointing considering all rave reviews I read prior to buying the book. It was basic and general information that I could have possibly received from online websites. If you are clueless about the process and are not internet savy, then it is a great book for you. It gives you the basic foundation.

Easy to read, simple and complete.......2006-07-14

I live in Upstate New York and there are not that many great legal resources in the self-help field in the local libraries. This book really did the trick! Surprisingly, it was easy to read, simple and complete. If you have a small claims issue, you need to look at this book.

Valuable Resource.......2005-11-21

My autobody rep told me about this book b/c the insurance would not cover my accident. This was a bargain for the amount of useful information inside. Remember to bring to Court more than one written estimate for your accident case as the book tells you to do so! You can really win in small claims court and this is the guide to help you.

Met the Author at a National Conference.......2005-10-30

Richard Solomon was the keynote speaker at the Bail USA conference. He was very impressive and gave great information about the use of the small claims courts (which was featured in the New York Times). I bought the book to assist in my collection efforts. I particularly like the idea of limiting debt to an amount below the level of small claims court so I can use these "lower-expense" courts than either collection agencies or attorneys in "regular court."

Book Description

The Great Copernicus Chase is an anthology of 36 incidents drawn from the history of astronomy. The chapters range from Stonehenge and ancient Egypt, to the Great Comet of 1965, and to Albert Einstein. In this series of articles, arranged roughly chronologically, Professor Gingerich covers all the important periods and developments in astronomy. The book is generously illustrated throughout, and opportunity has been taken to add illustrations to articles that originally had none. The curious reader will learn of the origin of the zodiac, Islamic astronomy, fake astrolabes, the foundation of modern astronomy in the USA, and the discovery of the spiral arms of our Galaxy. Although Professor Gingerich prepared this material primarily for readers interested in the historical background to astronomy, there are many original research discoveries and insights. This is popularization and intellectual history combined. The Copernicus Chase refers to Owen Gingerich’s attempt to make a census of all extant copies of De Revolutionibus. Some of the many adventures that have befallen him in this quest feature in the book. The majority of the chapters originally appeared in Sky and Telescope, the monthly astronomy magazine published by Sky Publishing Corporation of Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Customer Reviews:

Incredibly gifted writer!.......2000-11-08

This book is an incredible mix of great story-telling and superb teaching. He has selected some fascinating topics, and manges to explain the astronomy behind it very well. His writing is so good that I even enjoyed some of the chapters that I didn't think I was going to be interested in!

One good way to judge somebody is to see what they say about something you (think) you know something about. Gingerich always adds new insight to topics that I thought I was familiar with already. One of my favorite examples is the cola-can universe when discussing Stonehenge. Read it for yourself!

Great collection of essays for the astronomy lover........2000-07-28

A collection of 36 Gingerich articles that appeared in various magazines in the 1970's and 80's, all with a brief introduction by Gingerich. This collection is immensely entertaining, as he tackles such issues as Ptolemy's attempts to explain the motions of Mercury to the discovery of the Milky Way's spiral structure. Every essay is meticulously researched and will present a rich source for the amateur historian of astronomy and science.

Great astronomical historical reference.......2000-05-30

Being a collection of 36 magazine columns, The Great Copernicus Chase doesn't "read". Each chapter is completely independent, ready to be studied when you need or want information on its subject.

But that information is thorough, clearly explained, and scholarly. There are high quality illustrations with detailed captions. It's printed on heavy coated stock, a keeper.

For example, consider Chapter 17 titled "Fake astrolabes." Gingerich explains how astrolabes work and shows detailed photographs of several. He points out what distinguishes a genuine from a fake. Finally, he offers suggestions for further reading. It's about 6-1/2 pages in length (this chapter) and can be read in 10 minutes. But if you were considering purchasing an "old" astrolabe, it could save you hundreds (or thousands!) of dollars. I tried searching the internet for comparable information, unsuccessfully.

Other chapters deal with subjects like: the zodiac, Stonehenge, Islamic astronomy, Galileo, Tycho Brahe, Kepler, comets, eclipse paths, nebula, planets, the Milky Way, and Einstein.

Book Description

Superfluidity is the jewel in the crown of low temperature physics. When temperatures are low enough, every substance in thermal equilibrium must become ordered. Since some materials remain fluid to the lowest temperatures, it is a fascinating question as to how this ordering can take place. One possibility is the formation of a superfluid state, a state in which there is macroscopic quantum order-effectively quantum mechanics in a tea-cup. The author develops and presents these ideas in the beginning of Basic Superfluids. The book assumes some basic knowledge of quantum, statistical and thermal physics, and builds on this background to give a readable introduction to the three superfluids of low temperature physics. A short chapter describing experimental techniques is included. The emphasis throughout is on physical principles rather than technical detail, with the aim of introducing the subject in an accessible yet authoritative way to final-year undergraduates or starting postgraduate students.

Book Description

The God of Evolution is an insightful, thought-provoking work that shifts the boundaries of theology by examining the traditional understanding of God and melding it with evolutionary ideas.

Edwards begins by looking at the biblical stories of origin and the evolutionary world view. From there he examines the nature of God and God's power, the nature of human persons, including an exploration of original sin and grace, the divine-human relationship, and the impact of an evolutionary world view on the understanding of the Holy Spirit and the person of Jesus. In these discussions Edwards weaves together the insights of contemporary scientific thinkers and the ideas of theologians such as Teilhard de Chardin, Karl Rahner, and Jürgen Moltmann in a careful and nuanced way.

Dealing with a topic in theology today that is attracting wide interest, this book is especially valuable in that it is written in accessible, non-technical language. Therefore, it will appeal to general readers with an interest in science and/or theology. It will also be a valuable ancillary text for undergraduates.

Customer Reviews:

Thought provoking, but only a tentative step.......2005-05-02

I understand where both of the two substantive reviewers are coming from on this book. Firstly, I recommend that anyone interested in the religious implications of evolution consider buying THE GOD OF EVOLUTION, not because it provides definitive answers (although Edwards seems to think he does), but because it's a pioneering attempt to address the religious implications of evolution.

Darwinists won't care at all about this book; it was written for Christians seeking some understanding about evolution beyond the often infantile abuse heaped upon it by the Dawkinses of the world.

There are plenty of books that already address the religious implications of evolution, of course, beginning with THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES. But despite Darwin's clever and disingenuous comments in that book that he didn't see how a belief in natural selection conflicted in any way with traditional religious belief, Darwin had already lost his religious faith before he published ORIGIN, and he and the thinkers most closely associated with Darwinism (Huxley, Haeckel, Spencer, etc. etc.) were aggressive anti-Christians. This anti-religious, and specifically anti-Christian, tradition among Darwinists continues to this day with Dawkins, the late Gould, Dennett, Ruse, et. al.

So Edwards is taking on a big task in attempting to reconcile Darwinian evolution (the beginnings of life ex nihilo and natural selection as the principal operating cause of all biological complexity and diversity) with traditional Christianity. It seems clear that Edwards is a believing Christian, so this book is a sincere attempt to achieve this reconciliation.

The question to ask, really, is whether Edwards understands Darwinism better than the Darwinists. They all think that natural selection is a cruel mechanism that unleashes massacre and starvation on the vast majority of living beings but is for the greater good of the biosphere as a whole. The fact that Darwinists are almost exclusively atheists speaks to their view of the kind of God implied by Darwinism. Edwards thinks that Darwinism is consistent with a loving God. Yes, Edwards knows that there is some regretable pain associated with natural selection, but in one of his most superficial sections he tries to make light of all the suffering that the Darwinists, by and large, have the intellectual honesty (perhaps because they secretly relish it) to acknowledge.

Interestingly, Edwards is so committed to strong-form Darwinism that, while he mentions, he does not emphasise the much more ambiguous perspective of physics and cosmology, which seems to suggest some sort of eerie design in the universe, with all its precise constants and finely tuned balances of power, without any of which life could never have evolved. Edwards doesn't need this evidence because he is quite happy to accept Darwin's vision of a cruel, apparently purposeless world. Edwards sees his contribution to theology as his novel proposals to show how the Darwinian vision is perfectly consistent with a loving God who can be worshipped by Christians.

Does Edwards succeed? Not in the view of this reader. He advances some interesting ideas, esp. early in the book, with his reflections on the relational nature of God. But his understanding of evolution is shallow and enthusiastic. In fact, some of his proposals are inadvertently dangerous, as a more clever thinker than Edwards could easily turn them around and use them against Christianity. But Edwards (along with John Haught), is trying to get the ball rolling . . . that is, he is trying to get theologians and religious thinkers to engage seriously with Darwinism, and that is a necessary task.

Readers intrigued by the attempt, however, should also consider reading Simon Conway Morris's book LIFE'S SOLUTION, with its broader view of evolution, in order to first get some of the scientific facts.

Why Didn't I Read This 10 Years Ago?.......2004-05-24

Wow. Now this is the kind of evolutionary theory I'm talking about. For me, I've gone through the process of rejecting literalism and non-allegoricalism for the first 10 chapters of Genesis. I've gone through the acceptance of the scientific validity of evolution. I've worked through ideas on how I can accept Biblical Truth from Genesis, and also evolution. But I want to further clarify that in my mind, understand how both can be true. This book significantly helps in that regard.

I found Edwards' understanding of the Trinity immensely helpful. He writes that "'God' has no ontological content without communion. Nothing is conceivable as existing only by itself. There is no true being without communion." That is a conception I can relate to. From this premise, Edwards explores how a communal Trinitarian God would create, patterning life after Themself, as a internetworking of communities. And in my studies of biology, this is certainly what I see. I have long accepted Bonhoeffer's idea that God is Trinity, for God is perfect, and perfect in all things. He is therefore perfect in Love, and Love requires a lover and beloved. But lest we say that God needed us, He needed to be perfect in Love long before He created anything- which means He needed to have a beloved and lover within Himself, hence the Trinity. But then, how explain three, and not two? Edwards answers this, discussing how perfect Love requires a lover, a beloved, and then sharing the love with each other, as they love another. It is through evolutionary theory that we can better understand the Trinity; more than that, Trinitarian theology necessitates an evolutionary viewpoint.

From here Edwards looks at the way God limits Himself in creation, arguing from an Arminianist approach. Not being Arminianist myself, I found these particular arguments less helpful. But I did appreciate Edwards' discussion of how chance, natural selection, and imperfections are actually necessary in a perfect creation- for without random mutation, it would not be possible for an organism to perfectly adapt to new situations. Hence the seeming imperfection is actually part of a perfectly formed creation.

One of the greatest quandaries in accepting an evolutionary position as well as a Biblical worldview is the problem of original sin. Edwards does a wonderful job of illustrating how both philosophies blend. Our genetic code is morally neutral, but allows for the opportunity of far greater violence and destruction when it is combined with our cognitive abilities and moral awareness- something very similar to the eating of the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Indeed, the argument could be made that the enigmatic aspects of that passage are greatly illuminated when understood within the developing awareness of our species.

In the last few chapters Edwards analyzes how we can understand the various facets of the Godhead through evolution. How the Spirit has been present throughout creation, as has the Son, and their presences inherent within all of creation. So therefore, we can look at any of our fellow creatures, and see that of God in them- not that they are God of course, but that God is present within them, as He is present everywhere. Indeed, the Spirit and Wisdom become the motivating forces of all evolution, in a continuous creation that takes place at one time as one event. (For is not God outside of time?) Edwards comes from a Roman Catholic perspective, and so he displays the standard Western focus (neither good nor bad) on the Persons of the Trinity rather than the Unity of the Godhead- I found it helpful to consider what he said of the different parts of the Trinity as simply representative of all of the Trinity.

Throughout the text, I appreciate that Edwards presents not only his view, but that of many other theologians and biologists, along with a coherent synthesis of his beliefs on the matters. This allows me to follow his thinking, and also integrate aspects of other beliefs that might fall outside of Edwards' own. I also liked his support for the understanding of God as not only male, but also female, relying strongly on scriptures for this support, such as showing the clear line of female Wisdom being the same as the male Jesus in the Bible and Patristic authors. Edwards writes in a clear manner, but tremendously deep, illuminating, and encouraging. I am grateful to God for finding this book, and having the chance to read Edwards, for I now feel that I have a much better grasp on the integration of evolution and Biblical theology.

A Trinitarian Theology?.......2002-07-19

I picked up this book in the interest of seeing how Trinitarian thought could apply to the theory of evolution. Edwards' subtitle to this book is 'A Trinitarian Theology'. We shall see if this subtitle applies to the book. The book is rather short (144 pages) and should be considered more of a survey text rather than a full treatment on the intricacies of evolutionary thought. The theory of evolution is accepted and never called into question. A literal view of the 6 day creation is negated although Edwards does point to the significant doctrines that one can still take from the first two chapters of Genesis regardless of whether you take it literally or symbolically. Edwards is faced with a dilemma: He believes that evolution is true and also holds a belief in the Christian God. Historically these two beliefs have been difficult to combine. Edwards asks how God fits into evolution. Note that Edwards begins with evolution and attempts to merge his faith in the Christian God into it; he does not start with God and try to merge evolution into Him. This is a subtle but crucial difference as one involves changing theology (the choice Edwards makes) and the other changing science.

The first two chapters contain most of the references to the Trinity. The main premise is that since ontologically (in essence and being) God is relation, His creation should also be considered as being ontologically relationship oriented. This takes care of science's claim that all is interrelated including the evolutionary development of humans. Science is full of references to the relationships between cells to species etc. In short, reality is fundamentally relational. However to apply the relational structure between the Godhead and man is one thing; looking at the relationships developed by evolution/science is another story. Relationship, from an ontological standpoint is more than just being related to; there is a consciousness of communication. If Edwards' premise is accepted the road is paved to allow theology to change (or evolve) in order to meet the requirements of modern evolutionary thought.

Edwards then attempts to explain the more capricious sides of evolution (natural selection etc) and how a loving God could allow some animals to be victims and others to dominate. In order to do this Edwards adopts a process theology (derived from Whitehead) to explain that God limits himself in His actions and allows a certain freedom to His creatures. This takes the responsibility for evil away from God and (voila!) deals with some of evolution's cruelness. To process theology Edwards adds the increasing interest in random chance that is found in most studies of evolutionary thought today. Taken together (a limiting God and chance) evolution is not portrayed as evil. Obviously it is difficult to ascribe morality to chance.

The chapter that tries to deal with the problem of sin is the weakest in the book. It takes the line that sin is more a result of human finitude or limit than due to a separation between man and God. Of course there is no Fall in the evolutionary framework. Man's struggle with his environment and with each other is more a result of the evolutionary process than it is of a sinful nature. Edwards does not divorce God from being involved with His creation but is ambiguous about when this begins. Edwards must tackle the point where man becomes spiritual, the point that God and man first intercept. Is it near the beginning of the evolutionary cycle, further along at Neanderthal man or only when homo-sapiens distinctly evolve? When does sin appear? If sin is taken out of its historical Christian context you can be sure that grace will be as well. Grace for Edwards is something that is always in the background, not a description of God directly intervening in the lives of his creation. This, of course, limits the importance of the incarnation.

The final chapter discusses Christ in the evolutionary context by adopting a Wisdom Christology. This incorporates Sophia (the personification of wisdom) as the main force propelling evolution forwards in a positive manner that fulfills God's purposes. While a small argument could be made for this position it is a far different country than the Trinitarian basis that Edwards begins the book on.

In order to make this book seem more mainstream than its hodgepodge of modern theologies would appear, Edwards continually quotes or reflects on the thought of some mainline thinkers. Karl Rahner, the eminent Catholic theologian is the most quoted person in the book followed closely by German Protestant thinker Jurgen Moltmann. How far these two great theologians ascribe to Edward's thought I have yet to determine as I must read their actual texts outside of the evolutionary frame Edwards constructs around them.

The book is well written but takes the form of individual essays that are then tied together to make a whole. The last paragraph of each chapter refers to the first paragraph of the next. Each chapter begins with a restatement of the original thesis. There is nothing wrong with this per se since this is really a survey work.

The book is worth reading in order to be able to discuss the creationism/evolution debate in a different and perhaps more helpful light. It raises more questions than answers, or more correctly, it gives weak answers to good questions. It is not a synthesis of Trinitarian theology but it is a good summary of some ways of dealing with God in an evolutionary context.

Deeply insightful........1999-08-27

Denis Edwards possesses lucid insights and reveals a surprising consonance of Christian revelation with the theory of evolution.

`The God of Evolution: A Trinitarian Theology' illustrates that the natural world reveals immense wisdom and purpose - and the facts of the world reveal more of a 'Master Plan' than an accident. Edwards shows that in the Christian perspective, everything is seen as an embodiment of the divine - expressed in the nature of God as a 'Trinity'. Everything in the natural world existence is interconnected, and the underlying heart of the matter is the Absolute - The Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

An excellent book. Highly recommended.

Book Description

"This is Hollywood, man. You can do anything!" In Brian J. Hayes' satiric novel of low-budget Hollywood, this is the mantra that Jeffrey Morris, a naïve production assistant newly arrived from Ohio, quickly learns from the sleazy producer who takes him under his dubious wing. To Jeff's own surprise, he finds himself being seduced by the temptations that surround him; eventually, he has to decide at what price is he willing to sell himself in order to make the movies of his dreams.

If you like satire, this is a book for you!.......2001-01-12

"A Boyscout in Hollywood" was just my kind of read. If you enjoy satire, wit and laughing out loud while reading, you will enjoy this book. The author's depiction of the characters made them so visible in my mind that I just know I would recognize them on the street! I have highly recommended this book to my family and friends and do the same to anyone else.
