A New Favorite.......2006-11-05
I haven't read much by Dostoyevsky which I've always considered above and beyond me. And so, the sleek thinness of the book allowed me to be less intimiated.
I read the whole book, without reading the intro, just to see how it would go. I found that the seperate sections were very specific and I was able to follow Dostoyevsky's line of thought for once. His use of using the characters to represent political and social issues, in the Catholic view from the Western and Eastern perspecitve was very modern and fascinating. Despite its small stature, it took me a good while to go through it. I read it very carefully and gradually because you just can't read anything by Dostyevsky fast, otherwise, as I've learned, you won't get anything out of it.
I then read Guignon's introduction which further inhanced my understanding and appreciation. It propelled me to read the whole thing again and I got even more out of it. I know I will be reading this book again, in the very near future. In fact, this book incites the desire to read the whole book, because you don't know how it all began and ended.
It's a great introduction to not only the whole book but to Dostoyevsky's style and insight into the human condition in the modern world. It is not just Russian and Orthodox views that he questions but Western influence and its role as well. It's just worth the time and effort it takes to read it and trying to understand it.
An interesting Christian view.......2003-03-19
This book is a collection of select chapters from "The Brothers Karamazov."
There is a lengthy introduction that explains in detail the author's philosophy and how it is revealed in each of the four chapters presented here.
"The Brothers Make Friends" is simply here to introduce the two brothers Ivan and Alyosha. Ivan is the Europeanized lover of science, and Alyosha is the young Romantic. Dostoevsky uses his characters as representatives of different worldviews, and develops action in such a way to show how each worldview could be flawed.
In "Rebellion," Ivan's character is developed as he reveals his disdain at the suffering of children and how cruel it seems since they are without sin. Ivan says that he realizes there is suffering and that no one is responsible. This shocks him because he values order, and yet there seems to be no justice in the world.
In "The Grand Inquisitor" chapter, Ivan tells a fable based in the Spanish Inquisition in which the Catholic Inquistor judges Christ, who has returned. He condemns Christ to death saying he valued freedom of faith over mankind's happiness (in ignorance of freedom).
This small book concludes with the incredible story of Father Zossima. In the "Russian Monk," Dostoevsky explains the old Russian, holistic vision of sobornost (love of the entire world and one's taking responsibilty for the sins of all). In this worldview, if all choose to follow it, all will serve all and the world will be a paradise.
Dostoevsky's storytelling is very emotional, and not so much picturesque. But there is so much impact in his words and message! This book is one of my all-time favorites, and I cannot wait to read "The Brothers Karamazov" in its entirity. This, probably, could also serve as a great introduction to Dostoevsky.
Definitely worth a look.......1999-11-17
Guignon's essay is borne out of and reflects such a genuine enthusiasm that it's ultimately worthwhile to read it just for fun even if you happen to disagree with his interpretation of the fable. It certainly provoked me into returning to and re-reading Dostoevsky's tale.
Customer Reviews:
An excellent beginning to the story of the Special Forces Team of ladies.......2007-02-13
I've read three of Cindy Dees' Medusa books now and have actually read them all in the wrong order - not that it mattered. The "Medusa Project" is the first book in the series, followed by "The Medusa Game", "The Medusa Prophecy" and "Medusa Rising." This first book sets the scene for the others and details how the group of six ladies came together to become the only female Special Forces group in the American military - as well as being kept secret.
Each of these books has focused on one of the six ladies and "The Medusa Project" focuses on Major Vanessa Blake, a member of the Air Force who has always wanted to be in special forces after her father, a Navy SEAL, died when she was young. She's struggled against the glass ceiling for over ten years - and yet suddenly she gets her chance when being selected by Jack Scatalone as the team leader for a new group of women.
Unfortunately Vanessa and the other ladies soon discover that high-level political machinations mean that they are going to be made to fail - their tests are all incredibly difficult, they face opposition everywhere and even Jack seems to be against them. However they gradually win over most of their opponents - including Jack - but it's not enough. Then Jack gets taken hostage and the Medusas are the only suitable group to go in and rescue him.
This book is set in a desert region of an Arab country ("Game" was set in an Olympic village and "Prophecy" in snowy Norway). I enjoyed the fact that the author, although essentially writing a similar book each time, varies the details so much. Each book has the Medusa heroine finding her man (who all seem to be rather muscly types) but there is a different setting and location and different trials for them.
There was some rather repetitive writing in this book (although less so in the others); for example, characters regularly "bit out" as a euphemism for "spoke". I was also rather amazed at the combined skills and talents of these women, particularly in languages - was this realistic? Perhaps it is, I've never met a special forces person myself!
This is a really good series and this book is an enjoyable read. The fact that the next two books are even better is a very good sign for the future books by this author!
You won't regret it!.......2005-11-11
You'll love the story of Major Blake and the first all female special forces team. I can't wait for the next one in the series!
FANTASTIC ! And only 30 years after Title 9.......2005-04-03
30 years or so since Title 9 the initiative supporting women's athletics in this country, and the efforts in the 70s to allow women full access into the military and Cindy Dees has written what will be seen as a landmark adventure / suspense novel with 6 top female officers/ athletes/uber-intelligent women being trained as special forces operatives for the military. Vanessa BLake is the main heroine and she rocks! MIT trained computer whiz is picked for a program that men in power is sure to fail- a pilot project where women are trained in special ops. We are talking CHuck Norris Delta Force/ Navy Seal stuff here- silent stalking, killing and gathering intelligence in complete anonymity in the far corners of the world with nothing but their wits to survive. The ladies deemed "Snake" ladies by themselves as members of the Medussa Project exceed all expectations and earn a place eventually in the intelligence world. This is fiction- and a few years in the future- but as a woman who grew up with the first women ever attending West Point in the 80s- I am thrilled to see such physical and intellectual prowess being achieved in a series of books like Bombshell. It was only a few years ago that women in the service were unusual. I love seeing Silhouette taking chances and publishing such a great book- CIndy Dees is one of the top writers working for the Bombshell line- her characters are rich and they aim high. Keep up the good work! Great reading for Jr High and High School age girls- sex is treated with respect and the discipline , persistence and teamwork that the women use is a fantastic guideline for success .
Five stars is just not enough for this book--Ten minimum........2005-03-22
Cindy Dees new book THE MEDUSA PROJECT absolutely rocks in an all out kick butt military story involving women finally being `allowed' to join the Special Forces program. It is so well written and just so fabulous, I hardly know where to start.
Air Force Major Vanessa Blake after waiting years for the opportunity is tasked to lead the first ever all female Special Forces team. She is brilliant in her strategy against all odds from the get go. She uses her brains and skills to maneuver around all the walls put up to block her goal. Starting with getting a hacker to help pick her team electronically instead of slogging through thousands of paper files.
Lieutenant Colonel Jake Scatalone the tough as nails trainer on a mission to do whatever it takes to make the Medusa's want to quit during training. But they don't quit. They unite and pull together making their team the best. They tough out every thing he dishes out eventually earning his respect and support.
I read this in one day alternately cheering because it was just so good and pouting because it was over when I was done.
I finished it an hour ago and I already want to read it again.
My advice...run, do not walk to get a copy of this book. It will go right on your keeper shelf. I have to say this is my FAVORITE Silhouette Bombshell thus far.
SORRY BUT THIS IS A TEN STAR RATING! .......2005-03-20
My only problem is the F'ing -well Hell what do you expect!
A little classier swearing! [PS this is not about the SEALS]
Air Force Major Vanessa Blake has been trying for ten years to be allowed to join the Special Forces Ops but wouldn't you know the old windbags in Congress won't allow women in combat. She wonders why her father, a Navy SEAL kept going back on tour instead of staying with his family. It caused a lot of bitterness in her mother.
Lieutenant Colonel Jack Scatalone was sent to the Free-fire zone Alpha in North Carolina to make contact with Blake. He got tired of waiting and armed himself with a paint gun and ended up getting himself splatted. A "kill" for Blake.
This is not what happens to him. So he drags her [figuratively speaking] up before the JSOC commander, Wittenauer in full mud regalia.
Thus begins a combative give and take that is a joy to watch.
Scats job is to see that the women are given a chance to fail. Or at least make them quit.
Blake has a two week period to find five women to make a team and a room full of all enlisted woman. Being up on computers she enlists the help of one of the Pentagon hackers and picks out 5 woman in about four days.
Oh then begins the wonderful bonding of 5 diverse women into an operational team of deadly proportions.
Air Force Major Vanessa Blake - 33 - "Viper" - computer expert.
Captian Aleesha Gautier - "Mamba", Jamaican by birth, ER doctor,trained surgeon, fluent in French, Spanish & Portuguese, collegiate swimmer and scuba diver.
Air Force Test Pilot Misty Cordell - "Sidewinder" - 2 years retired - top stick in every squadron she ever flew with - Stunt pilot for fun - fluent in Russian & German - Champion surfer and triathlete for fun.
Marine officer Karen Turner - "Python" - been trying to get into Special Forces for years.
Officer Isabella Torres - "Adder" - top photographic image analist in air force intelligence & a cryptography expert - fluent in Spanich, French, Italian, Farsi, Hebrew and Arabic.
Katrina Kim - "Cobra" - half Korean petite, elegant - another who had fought for years to join, in her case army Special Forces sniper.
The women have high hopes that the testosterone fortress has been breached. They expect JSOC to give them the roughest, toughest, nastiest [...] for trainers.
At the same time [and running along with their training period] Delta Force three become lost in Bhoukar - these are Jack's men and he is upset and wants to find them.
We read of their ongoing experiences at the same time that Jack is trying to fail the women. Wittenauer and the President Stanforth confer with each other in trying to find these men.
:) Blake confronts Wittenauer [after the reported failed project "Medusa" and disappearance of Scatalone] to send in the Medusas as officially they don't exist. What did he have to lose?
This is so action packed and yet emotionally restrained that it is impossible to put down. It is always "just one more chapter".
You get to love the characters, the women's abilities to outthink their problems to cure their short comings. There is a whole hearted respect developed for the men and women of this story. And believe me - much more to the plot.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ********** DEFINITELY A KEEPER - GOOD FOR READING MORE THAN ONCE.
Book Description
Cat, the halfbreed telepath hero of Catspaw and Psion, joins a research team on Refuge, homeworld of his mother's people, the Hy-drans. Immediately, he finds trouble when he helps a Hydran woman escape human pursuers. The decimated Hydran population of Refuge is confined to a bleak 'homeland' by a huge corporate state, Tau Biotech. Tau also controls Refuge's one unique natural resource, 'Dreamfall.' The tangible residue of cast-off thoughts from beautiful, enigmatic cloud whales, dreamfall forms vast reefs, sacred to the Hydrans but mere exploitable data to Tau. Caught between Tau and the desperate Hydrans who fight to reclaim their world, Cat must somehow forge the ruins of the past into a means to defeat Tau's brutality and save his people-and himself.

Not Free SF Reader.......2007-09-03
Dreamfall is a sequel to Catspaw, or part of a series, however you want
to look at it. This time, Cat is on his mother's planet, and pretty
much immediately gets into trouble, something he is really very good
at. Yet again, a huge corporation is controlling a substance, and he
runs afoul of them and their aims. Not really a big surprise. Cat
becomes involved in the struggle, and is naturally on his mother's
people's side, not the megacorp.
I'm totally bummed.......2004-02-11
As far as I know, this is the last book Ms. Vinge wrote about Cat, and I think that's a damn shame. This book does not do him justice. I think Catspaw is one of the best books I ever read about sci-fi psychics, but this book was pale in comparison.
The first problem is the girls. Kissindre and Miya aren't half as interesting as the symbplayer and Elanor taMing (sic). Even Jule had more spunk than Miya, and every time Kiss shows up, I keep thinking, Aren't you the dull student from Catspaw? The answer is yes.
Also, because Cat is so enamoured of Miya, he spends a large chunk of the book being bubbly and happy. That's no fun! Cat is best as a snarky, cynical freak, and I'm not interested in listening to him go on about his 'one true love.' He makes up for this with much suffering towards the end, but still, this section is painful.
The most disappointing thing about this book is that the ending is not a great ending for the trilogy. His life is still up in the air, and he doesn't really grow in his power at all, if you know what I mean.
If you're like me, you pretty much have to read this book if you read Catspaw. Just don't get your hopes up too high. This book does nothing to diminish my very high opinion of Ms. Vinge as a writer (read my other reviews) but I think this is her slightest work.
If anyone's interested, I found Joan's homepage. Looks like it might be kinda old, but still authentic:
[...]
still fairly good.......2004-01-02
This book is good i enjoyed it very much but it is not as good as the first two.Catspaw is still my favorite.
Best of the 3.......2003-08-19
I liked Psion and Catspaw very much, but I enjoyed Dreamfall the best of the 3. It is true that the end was disappointing, as one reviewer here points out. But that's the author's prerogative.
Perhaps I enjoyed the 3rd book the most, because it builds on, and transforms, the character and world of the earlier books.
Perhaps it is because I am starting to get older myself, just like Cat is...
Dreamy dreamy...spoiler alert!.......2000-12-23
Dreamfall is the third book in the Cat series, and the least enjoyable in my opinion, which makes it about six times better than all books anyway. Dreamfall is the story of Cat's exploration of his heritage. While traveling to a distant planet with his university to study the "cloud whales," Cat goes to the "Homeland" (where the indigenous Hydran population lives, much like Native Americans were pushed off of their land to reservations) and ends up in a mess. His telepathic talent still doesn't work except maybe once in a while, so he finds he isn't really welcome over in the Hydran town because keeping his mind closed is offensive to them. As he is feeling hopeless about not fitting in with either the humans or the Hydrans, a woman smacks into him, running away from security, and drops a child's databand into his hand as she runs away. He helps her escape and ends up taken into custody himself. He is interrogated and briefly tortured, but since he knows nothing he is unable to help them catch the Hydran woman, who apparently kidnapped a human child. It comes out that the child is Joby, a baby with neurological damage that makes him unable to control himself at all, and so his family hired a Hydran companion for him to make him able to move and react the way he wanted to and try to rehabilitate him. The woman, Miya, took off with their son for reasons unclear. Cat feels a connection to the woman, though, and ends up meeting her again very soon, when she explains herself to him. She takes him to the Hydran town and tries to help him get to know the people, though her sister, Naoh, takes an immediate aversion to him. Miya and Cat become lovers, and Cat learns the Hydran language and attempts to act as a go-between for the humans and the Hydrans. But trouble is brewing (of course). The humans see the Hydrans as terrorists holding the child hostage, and the Hydrans--specifically a freedom-fighting radical group of them--see the humans as invaders. They are led by Naoh in a fight against the humans, and Cat is swept up in it, yet again, trying to find his feet. Cat thinks Naoh is wrong and very sick, and tries to stop the Hydrans from attacking the humans, but Naoh is too persuasive and ends up getting hundreds of people to riot. And the humans retaliate with a kind of gas that makes Hydrans unable to use their psionic abilities, rendering them helpless and confused. Cat, Miya, and Joby retreat to a quiet place to heal. There are tons of details I've missed here, of course--Cat's attempts to expose Corporate Security's treatment of their bonded workers; Cat's friendship and relationship with Kissindre Perrymeade, his classmate who is somewhat entranced by him; his relationship with an old woman known as an oyasin who teaches him much about life and himself. But of course it all comes together in an ending that definitely isn't "happy" but just seems right. Cat is much more mature now and his exploration of the Hydran part of himself is fascinating; he always felt very human because of being raised thinking he was only human, and so it's great to see his acceptance of both halves.

Customer Reviews:
Gods of the Egyptians.......2005-08-24
Published more than 100 years ago, it still appears to carry authority. Very detailed account of Egyptian deities. Needs concentrated reading; of interest to people with more than a passing interest in the topic. New edition. A second volume follows this.
Extensive.......2005-06-30
I disagree that Budge did not mention that Christianity came from Egyptian religion. He did mention, in one of the first chapters that both Judaism, Christianity and Islam all are rooted in traditional Egyptian religious practice. I found that statement highly enlightening. And although he does pay tribuite to the classical Western view that ancient Egyptians were "half savage," he does clarify that he disagrees with that statement. In Budge's opinion, the Egyptians are clearly complex in their religious beliefs depending on where they lived and no broad statements of condemnation can be made about what little we understand of them. I do think he holds a high opinion of the ancient Egyptians, and although I cannot read hieroglyphics I trust that what he writes is to the best of his knowledge (at the time) correct.
Clearly presented !.......2003-08-01
I find the narrow mindedness of the earlier reviewers disgusting. It is typical of our present day amateurs to judge excellent work after having briefly skimmed over it with sporting eyes.
GIVE BUDGE THE CREDIT HE DESERVES!.......2000-11-08
I noticed many criticizing Budge for this 2-vol. set on the gods and goddesses of Ancient Egypt. To his credit, he provides much useful and obscure information that modern authors tend to leave out. If you want simple definitions of the gods and goddesses, then no, these volumes aren't for you; but, the Ancient Egyptians religion was not a simple one. I love Budge's books more that anything because he provides the heiroglyphic texts for you to see for yourself, you don't have to rely on what someone else says they mean. There are times he makes statements about the Egyptians that are now considered untrue (i.e. that they were savages... or other statements about their religion) but if you read his other books, you will find that his opinion changed over time, and he says so in his books. I would recommend any of Budge's books for the extensive amount of information they provide, and the actual heiroglyphic texts they provide for you to translate yourself if you choose to.
WARNING: ONLY USEFUL FOR THE LEARNED!.......2000-08-25
For those looking for a clear and up-dated overview of ancient Egyptian religion, THIS IS NOT THEIR BOOK. As it happens with many of Budge's books, this two-volumes set is quite out-dated and, moreover, it is highly-speculative (but without warning one that what he says is just that: speculation). Non the less, for those with a rather deep acquaintaince of the Egyptian Mythology and beliefs, it still could be helpful in certain matters. And, as it always occurs with Budge's works, there are scattered here and there some bits of useful data. Another criticism, which can be extended over to any of his other titles, is the lack or meagre references to the bibliography or documents from which he extracted his quotations. So that, BEGINNERS BEWARE!

Valuable resource!.......2000-03-29
This facsimile is a very helpful resource for identifying Thonet-furniture. Around the turn of the century the Thonet company produced modernist furniture designed by members of the Vienna Sezession, Otto Wagner, Josef Hoffmann, Kolo Moser, Marcel Kammerer. Some of which can be seen in this catalog; their number and place in the catalog is pointed out in the introductory essay. The book is a valuable resource if you are interested in antiqeus and early 20th century design. Thonets designs are the prototypes of modern furniture.

Book Description
The autobiography of one of Paramount's major female stars of the 1920s, Esther Ralston.
Customer Reviews:
Silent Movie Beauty Tells Her Story.......1999-07-18
Esther Ralston, though not a superstar, was certainly a popular leading lady during the 1920's in Hollywood. She was a gorgeous blonde and a very pleasant personality. She tells her life story in this charming if slight autobiography, which curiously ends in the early 1950's (it was published in the 1980's and Miss Ralston died in 1992.) I think this book could have been better with a more probing editor, someone who would have tried to get a little more information out of her about specific films. Please note this book is published by an academic publisher, thus there are not many photos and no dust jacket (at least not for earlier printings.) Miss Ralston was a true beauty and one longs to see more photos of her. Still, it is encouraging to see a publisher who realizes that you don't have to be a "legend" to be interesting.
