This book effectively discloses the lack of integrity in the Church.. Well writen and presented. Yet, it leaves one with the feeling that one has only exposed the tip of the iceberg. For other books that expose Vatican lies on a much broader scale try "Murder in the Vatican" by Lucien Gregoire and "In God's Name" by David Yallop.

The book is difficult to digest even if you are interested in the crisis unfolding in the Catholic Church. The book is primarily cheap gossip exploiting the immature gay sexuality of the Vatican. The writer gloats excitedly over petty indiscretions and drops names of clergy no one knows except those who live inside the walls of the Vatican. What is appalling is the fact that the authors are in denial about what is really going on and misses the important elements of the situation like the cause, the harm done to the faithful and a remedy. Unless you are interested in Paris Hilton in a roman collar don't bother.

I found the material in the book very troubling and informative but I felt that the impact was diminished by the multiple authors and the obvious lack of a single editor to give an overall shape and tone to the book.

This is a text designed at the third grade level for Bryman/ITT Tech and the like. The Workbook is a picture book of examples, little of which relate to the assignments at the end of every chapter. Note there is neither index nor glossary. The CD's that come with it require validation and are timed to expire after 180 days. ESRI is proud of this book, but without justification. It lacks any sort of professional documentation for the ArcGIS and ArcMap programs and questions to [email protected] are ansered by "see the book." They vary the theme a bit, but this is always the reply. But "the book" doesn't have the necessary data to acomplish the assignment.Unnecessary frustration with this deal.Best to be avoided.[...]

The original 1927 Wetzel Publishers version of The Dagger has a genuine gold foil stamped graphic on a leather calfskin cover! The top pages are gilt, The pages are printed only on one side because they are letter pressed, one page at a time on fine watermarked acid free paper. The author obviously wanted his work packaged well. The collection of poems itself is a significant work because it waxes down a place and time in a coastal Shangri-La region of Spanish California before it was buried in towns and roads. California was Eden like.

The headphones don't stay on, and it runs out fast, and the volum doesn't work that well! And the buttons on the cd player, it doesn't work!
