Very entertaining and informative biography on Ms. Jolie =-).......2007-01-06

This biography on Angelina Jolie was very well written and informative. The book included tons of fun facts about her, and had alot of great pictures. I enjoyed the book very much and would absolutely recommend it. If you're a Jolie fan, this book is for you. I also recommend Notes from My Travels by Angelina. That book was very touching and inspirational. I highly recommend both books.

nothing new here.......2006-07-07

Ordered the book to find out something new about Angie. Well, it was dissapointment- there was nothing new I could learn about Angelina. And the book wasn't that interesting to read generally.

Skip this book.......2006-03-13

I'm an Angelina Jolie fan and had hoped to learn a lot about her by reading this biography. I was seriously disappointed. I didn't learn much, as well as the book was not well written. I felt like half the book was dedicated to reviewing her movies or telling more about the movie plots, which I don't care about. I wanted to learn more about Angelina Jolie as a person, and frankly, this book didn't teach me much. It was a waste of my time to read.

ENTERTAINING.......2006-03-11

I FOUND THIS BOOK ABOUT ANGELINA TO BE A GOOD READ. IT IS SHORT AND SWEET, EASY TO READ. IT COVERS HER LIFE AND CAREER IN GENERAL WITHOUT A GREAT DEAL OF DETAIL. IF YOU LIKE TO READ ABOUT THE MOVIES SHE HAS MADE AND A BIT ABOUT HER PRIVATE LIFE, THEN THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU. IT HAS MANY PICS AND IS A NICE KEEPSAKE IF YOU ENJOY THIS GORGEOUS AND TALENTED ACTRESS. A NICE BUY.

Nice read.......2005-05-20

The book is a short read, 144 pages. It has a nice assortment of black and white photos, no color photos except the front and back covers. If you have been following Angelina for some time now, you'll already have seen most of these photos. Most of the photos are either screen shots and promotions, or from various award ceremonies. As a long time fan of Angelina, I was surprised to see that this book had a good bit of information on her that I didn't already know. There's a lot of quotes from magazines. The author breaks down most of Angelina's movies, and I do think he spends a tad too much time describing the other actors in these movies. Either way, it is a cheap book and a nice addition to a fan's collection, also a great read for the brand new fan. I recommend!

I love Carol Kent's writing. In this book, she shares such good and humorous stories, but ones with a poignant side as well. I have used many of them to read on tape for a vision impaired, bed-ridden friend of mine who suffers from multiple sclerosis and can't read herself. She has enjoyed them and asks for more.

Brooke was 13 when she crossed over following a tragic automobile accident. After her death, her mother needed answers to questions to obtain peace in her life. During her search, she found herself asking Brooke to help her understand the secrets of life and death, and why someone so young had left such a promising life. The author had long used automatic writing, so it was natural to interact with her daughter in this way. Angel in Disguise is the record of their mother-daughter conversations across the veil. It is also a story of an intimate connection between heaven and earth. The dialog also reveals Brooke's amazing wisdom as she comments on the real-life dramas in her mother s life.

Book Description

This inspiring book was written by a woman eighty-seven years young who wants her grandchildren to know what her wonderful world was like. The world has changed, but the affairs of the heart remain the same. Her generation faced many of the same temptations, hopes and fears that young people face today.

Staying in love with a life-time partner is possible. It is also a blessing beyond belief. As an Air Force Family, their many moves at home and over seas meant constant adjusting to new friends, jobs, schools, churches...new everything. Extra love, including tough love and understanding are key ingredients.

Without the Lord's help, her life as a wife and mother would have been a nightmare, not a beautiful dream come true. Nor would she have been able to climb the mountain confronting her family in the year 2002.

Well written, authentic characters, great story.......2004-03-25

"Angel In Disguise" was a pleasure to read. Though there were many serious life situations, it was well written with the main characters of Pete and Sunny the key to handling them with humor and love.
The character of Pete Maquire was well representive of someone whose life has been altered by chronic pain, and disability. It is a subject that so many experience, but so few who don't experience, understand. It affects you mentally and physically. It was great to see how and Sunny Keegan could accept and love him, even with his handicap.
Sunny's personality was a joy also. Both were a testament to what God can do in one's life, if we allow Him in.
Pete and Sunny played off each other well and it was pleasent to read a book where the couple were not constantly fighting to stop the relationship that was unfolding throughout the story. The humor that was weaved throughout the book was wonderful.
This book is a definite pick me up, and it makes you wish there was a 2nd to follow through.

Very Entertaining.......2000-06-16

I really enjoyed this book and finished it in a couple of hours. Sunny and Pete are both reluctant contestants on the Dream Date show. Sunny was talked into it by her team and Pete's sister(who works for the show) pushed him into appearing. Both of them are surprised when they end up being the "match" for the show. They are obligated to go on a date and then return to the program and say if it was a dream or a nightmare. On the first date, they both seem surprised at how well they really do seem to "match". I was continually surprised with the twists that their past throws into the present.

Everthing from Abatis to Zymolysis..........2000-08-19

Too bad this book has to be special ordered but I guess it's not a best seller. Thank goodness Amazon provides a service that allows you to find out something about a book not readily available. This book is for serious gardeners who really want to know what a "knar" is (an upward growing root of swamp trees which enables them to breath). Did you know trees breathe? Sure they do, and what they exhale we breathe.

But this book is also for beginners and the merely curious. You can find out about "kitchen gardens", "NPK" and "root-rot." In other words, when your garden book is written in such a way that the author of the book assumes you have knowledge you don't have, you can use this book to look up the terms you don't understand. Think you won't need it? Do you know what "NPK" stands for? If not, you need this book. NPK is the symbol for nitrogen for leaves-phosphorus for roots-potassium for flowers and fruits. You can't grow anything without it and ALL fertilizer companies list the amounts available in their product.

A novel view of Paul!.......2002-01-01

Very interesting work focusing on the cultural background to the Pauline era. It investigates some new angles and approaches to the traditional stance often employed by New Testament scholars, thus envoking original and valid arguments based around Paul.

Book Description

Recorded history is a finely-woven magic fabric of intricate lies about events predating the sixteenth century. There is not a single piece of evidence that can be reliably and independently traced back earlier than the eleventh century. This book details events that are substantiated by hard facts and logic, and validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources.

Customer Reviews:

Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03

Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.

Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19

Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.

Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09

There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.

For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.

Very Interesting.......2007-03-07

It is a good proposal and I believe it will mature into something even better in the future. I think it deserves to be read.

History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10

Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.

I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.

Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.

Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.

I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.

This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.
