Good product but not economical........2006-12-09
I would have given this book five stars, however, it's not economical. Aspen publishers (publishers of this Q & A series) also publish Finz Multistate Method. The Finz product contains 196 tort multiple choice questions whereas the siegel's tort Q & A only has 92. Keep in mind that these products are published by the same publisher, therefore, the questions in the siegel's series appear in the Finz Multistate Method. Furthermore, the Finz product has Contracts, Property, Constitutional Law, and Evidence questions. However, the Finz product does not have essay questions but you could always google old essay exams and answers. By purchasing the Finz Multistate Method, you'll end up saving more money, have the convenience of having all the questions in one book, and have many more questions.
Great for Test Preparations.......2004-01-14
This book is extremely useful in preparing for a torts exam. In fact, the fact patterns on one of the questions was so great that my professor copied a large portion of it on our final exam question (the ethical side of that can be debated with Emory).
Helpful for learning the intentional torts.......2002-11-04
I entered Law School with a great deal of reluctance about any sort of commercial aids, especially flash cards. However, I have since discovered that some commercial aids are helpful with certain aspects of studying. These Torts flashcards have been valuable in helping me learn the elements of the various intentional torts, and spotting those torts in a hypothetical fact pattern.
This product should not be your primary means of learning torts, but I recommend them as a supplement, especially learning the elements of the Intentional torts!

Newton's Clock: Chaos in the Solar System
ASIN: 0691005451 |
Book Description
Celestial Encounters is for anyone who has ever wondered about the foundations of chaos. In 1888, the 34-year-old Henri Poincaré submitted a paper that was to change the course of science, but not before it underwent significant changes itself. "The Three-Body Problem and the Equations of Dynamics" won a prize sponsored by King Oscar II of Sweden and Norway and the journal Acta Mathematica, but after accepting the prize, Poincaré found a serious mistake in his work. While correcting it, he discovered the phenomenon of chaos.
Starting with the story of Poincaré's work, Florin Diacu and Philip Holmes trace the history of attempts to solve the problems of celestial mechanics first posed in Isaac Newton's Principia in 1686. In describing how mathematical rigor was brought to bear on one of our oldest fascinations--the motions of the heavens--they introduce the people whose ideas led to the flourishing field now called nonlinear dynamics.
In presenting the modern theory of dynamical systems, the models underlying much of modern science are described pictorially, using the geometrical language invented by Poincaré. More generally, the authors reflect on mathematical creativity and the roles that chance encounters, politics, and circumstance play in it.

Intersting yes, accesible?, well not to me at least.......2006-06-16
I have an engiineering degree and an inclination to study mathematics, yet the book demands a level of sophistication that is ver high (at least to me), and the book only has 1 equation!!!! I bought it thinking into would lead me by the hand into the complex land...I find myself working very hard to keep the pace
A VALUABLE BOOK ON NONLINEAR DYNAMICS.......2004-11-23
Most popular books on scientific topics are by professional writers who know how to construct interesting narratives but don't really understand the science. Thus they are overly impressed by those whom they have recently interviewed, remaining ignorant of the broad picture and history of their subject. Seldom does one come across a well-written book for the general public by scientists, but "Celestial Encounters" is an exception to this general rule.
Both of the authors (Florin Diacu and Philip Holmes) are distinguished researchers in the area of nonlinear science and also fine writers. Thus the reader is ever in good hands as the technical parts of the book are not dumbed down; the more technical sections (which can be skipped in a first reading) are correctly and carefully written in simple English. Anyone reading through this book will come away with greater understanding of the famous N-body problem of celestial mechanics - including both the history and how it fits into the fabric of modern mathematics, particularly in connection with the development of nonlinear dynamics and the modern theory of chaos.
The historical perspectives presented are particularly vivid and informative. I don't know where one would find a more interesting and better informed discussion of the curious events surrounding the award of the 1889 mathematics prize by King Oscar II of Sweden to Henri Poincaré.
Ecxellent presentation, exciting subject.......2000-04-21
The book is a great pleasure to read. The style is light and profound at the same time. It talks to a sientifically mature reader but does not sacrifice the simplicity and the elegant clarity of the exposition. History and mathematics are well balanced. What I liked, probably, the most was that the process of scientific discovery is described is highly emotional (and as a scientist I share the same sentiment). It's also nice to see that Eastern European mathematicians received a fair credit here, which does not happen too often in histories of mathematics published in the States.
A nice historical and mathematical introduction to Chaos.......2000-03-21
It is a complete history of Dynamical Systems theory and at the same time an exposition of the mathematical ideas involved in this theory. An excellent introduction for beginers, and a good panoramic vision for people interested in science.
It was a dark and stormy seminar..........1997-09-03
If you enjoy math and astronomy-related topics and are curious about the history of some
fascinating 20th century discoveries concerning the n-body problem, this book should satisfy you. Warning: this book could also annoy you, if you
are the least bit sensitive to empty calories
such as:
"Napolean gazed deeply into Laplace's eyes...",
which liberally lard up the text.

Ned Dougherty, author of Fast Lane to Heaven, almost died at the age of 37--an experience that ultimately saved his life. Before he collapsed on the cement outside of his nightclub in the Hamptons of New York, he was leading a hedonistic lifestyle of heavy drinking and short-term relationships with women half his age. Then, one day after fighting with his business partner, Dougherty felt his chest tighten and suddenly he was unable to breathe. "My sense of hearing turned inward, and I was listening for sounds from my now silent lungs, which seemed to have collapsed," he recalls in his characteristic gripping narration. "For a long, pregnant moment, everything before me stood still. I was dying and I knew it. In a split second, I thought: This is it! This is how it all ends! Suddenly, I felt what seemed like an electrical explosion in my head, and my body collapsed to the sidewalk." As an ambulance crew valiantly tried to resuscitate him, Dougherty shifted in and out of his body. Finally, he felt his spirit lift out of the ambulance and he was left standing before a tunnel that curled like an ocean wave and "stretched directly in the heavens." From there he entered a "life review process" in Heaven that forced him to reckon with his past as well as the life he created in the present. Nothing was the same after that.
Readers can't help but like Dougherty. He's brutally honest about his character flaws and alcoholism, so when redemption comes, it's all the sweeter. (And it isn't instant--he has to return to a few years of hard lessons before the benefits of the near-death experience truly take hold.) Count on an exceptionally smooth read with an endearing narrator who offers classic, yet unique encounters with life and death. --Gail Hudson
Book Description
Ned Dougherty lived a life that anyone searching for power and material wealth would deem successful - until the 1984 incident that caused his death. While medical personnel struggled to restart his silent heart, Dougherty left his body and experienced a series of events so vivid and unusual that they profoundly changed the rest of his life. The experience opened th door to encounters with various aspects of the divine spirit, including the "Lady of Light," a being Dougherty later clearly identifies as the Virgin Mary. To Dougherty and others who have experienced her presence, the Lady is both guide and teacher, fostering spiritual advancement and sharing the Creator's plan for humankind.

Another Good NDE Book.......2005-05-28
In the last few years, I have read many books on the topic of near death experiences (NDE's), and I have yet to tire from reading about the wonderful journeys these people have experienced.
This particular book is about a man who took a wrong turn during his life, and wound up being an alcoholic club owner who was dabbling in drugs and had some pretty shady characters as friends. After a violent fight with one of these "friends", he started to not feel right, and within a few minutes he was dead.
The book then goes on to describe the experiences he had while clinically dead, how he was treated by the medical profession after he was brought back to life, and how this experienced impacted his life.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who's had an NDE and is looking to hear of other's experiences, as well as those who are just plain interested in this topic.
Changing your life can be difficult, even after an NDE.......2005-01-27
This is a story of an NDE that happened to a very worldly human being who struggled with the clear message of the NDE for a long time after returning to this world before finally accepting it. Strangely, to me at least, this makes Dougherty's account quite believable and entertaining. Dougherty claims that his NDE immediately affected his life profoundly and turned him into a more loving and less worldly human being. Reading between the lines of Dougherty's book, it's clear that although Dougherty's heart may have been changed, Dougherty still struggled to abandon his old way of life for a long time after his NDE. Despite the change in Dougherty, he clung to his old Nightclub business until it was taken away from him. But eventually he embraced the message from his NDE and changed the focus of his life. The message that I took from Dougherty's book was that even when your heart changes, it can take a lot longer to turn your life's focus around. Dougherty's book inspires you to have hope, don't give up on the changes you want to make, and take heart, sometimes it takes a lot longer to change yourself than you think it will. I like this book and recommend it. As for his predictions and prophecies, they are neither convincing (just a little too unclear) nor unconvincing. If you are looking for miraculous predictions to convince you of the veracity of NDEs, then you are missing the most important content in virtually every NDE.
Not ONLY did his book foretell 9/11..........2005-01-12
Interestingly enough, he also wrote in his book that "the Lady of light" told him that there would tidal waves and earthquakes and a shifting of the earth on its axis. AND, he wrote that She also revealed that there would be man-made castastrophes in: The Middle East (W's war to vindicate pappy), then in Europe (Madrid train bombing), then in Africa (Egyptian hotel bombing), then in Russia (school murders).
In the very same order as these tragedies occurred.

My Fav. NDE Books - I've Been There Too.......2004-01-01
One day in 1995 I died, and had a NDE. Ever since then, I've been reading everything I can on the subject. According to most stories I've read, I had an unusual one, not going down a tunnel, but experiencing many interesting phenomena all the same. It seems to me that there are some NDE books and magazine articles that are just hype, and published just to give recognition. I have found, through my many years and multitudes of books on the subject, that there is an underlining truth and spirit that pervades the true experiences. So, I have compiled a list of my best reads for NDE books - ones that I consider genuine and adding validating light to the personal NDE experience. I have left out compilations, these are personal narratives. I hope you enjoy them too.

Incredible, Amazing Near Death Experience.......2003-08-04
Ned Dougherty's Fast Lane to Heaven, is an incredible tale of one man's transformation after his near death experience. Similar to Betty Eadie's and Dannion Brinkley's vivid recalls of their NDEs, Dougherty is also able to recall with vivid clarity his journey and all that was shown to him.
Dougherty was living the hedonistic, fast lane of life, with homes in both The Hamptons, and West Palm Beach, driving expensive cars, having many expensive toys, and operating two thriving nightclubs. Alcohol was his admitted drug of choice, and cocaine use was intermittently part of his lifestyle, as were meaningless relationships with meaningless beautiful women.
After suffering an apparent heart attack, Dougherty realized that he was no longer "in his body", and was met by a former friend who "died" in Vietnam. Dougherty recalls in stunning detail his life review, future life events, future world events, including the 9-11 attacks on New York and Washington, his meetings with The Lady of The Light, God, and other spiritual beings. Because Dougherty's life's mission is not yet completed on earth, he is told he must go back.
Needless to say, Dougherty's life is forever transformed after his heavenly encounters, and amazingly, the doctors could not find anything physically wrong with him - all of his medical tests were normal. Yet Dougherty knew that he had died, but all of the doctors could not find anything indicating a heart attack.
As foretold to Dougherty, he indeed turned his life around, and is no longer living a hedonistic, fast lifestyle, but a more spiritual, contemplative one, which includes hospice volunteering, as well as forming his Angels of Mercy organization which provides miracles to those in need. He is still visited by The Lady of The Light and his devotion and faith in God has deepened greatly.
I found this book truly amazing, and I have read all the NDE books that I can, and this account is one of the best. His honesty and admittances of his former lifestyle helped to portray him as he truly was/is. He was not portrayed as someone without any flaws, or perfect. I am sure that all readers can relate to his imperfections in one way or another. The reader can only "try" to relate to his struggles and difficulties in "trying" to live an earthly existence, after seeing and experiencing all that he had with his celestial encounters. Synchronistic encounters reaffirmed to Dougherty that all that happened did indeed happen. Events shown to him that would occur in his life happened not according to Dougherty's "trying" to make them happen, but instead they happened according to God's plan.
I have to disagree with the other reviewers, as I think that they tended to focus only the events which were predicted for 9/11 and entirely missed the messages contained within the book.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in NDEs. There is a most startling message in the book from Archangel Michael that was given to Dougherty, that is worth reading several times over. A message for us all.
This book is just another confirmation to us all that there is nothing to fear in dying, that we all are constantly guided and loved, and that we only have to ask for help from above. There is so much more to life than "toys" or material possessions and Dougherty proves that point very well.
This book's message is incredibly timely for what we are living though now and thank you Ned Dougherty for sharing your wonderful incredible experiences for us all.

Everything Angels.......2005-09-01
"Angels are not restricted to any particular cultures or religions and, in fact, seem to be embraced by all." - From the book
Throughout the centuries, angels have been a popular motif in literature, art and music. Most religions have a theology concerning angels, with some ascribing specific attributes and associations to each. In fact, some spiritual traditions even encourage interacting with, and praying to, these celestial messengers.
Jacky Newcomb, known as "The Angel Lady", has amassed a cornucopia of angel facts, mythology, theology, and personal experiences in her 331-page book An Angel Treasury. From frequently asked questions to angel quotes, healing stories to magical correspondences, An Angel Treasury serves as a reference book, comprehensive almanac, and inspirational guide. Some of the information you'll find in this engaging book includes:
* An alphabetical listing of hundreds of angels
* Occupations and hobbies and their corresponding archangel helpers
* Correspondence of angels and planets, directions, seasons, days of the week, crystals, candle colors, herbs, and more
* Angels in culture (including art, films, movies, music, and TV shows)
* Angels and children
* Angel affirmations
* Angel altars
* Guided angel meditations (including Meet Your Guardian Angel)
* Angels and the Zodiac
* Fallen angels
* Angels as guardians
An Angel Treasury is a treasure trove of life-affirming quotes, anecdotes, and historical lore. If you have a special connection with the angelic realm or are intrigued by these celestial beings and how they are connected to our earthly life, you'll be thrilled by what this book has to offer.

Open your minds..........2001-10-19
You have to have an open mind to read this book and know that is all based on true stories from very serious people. I happen to believe that "we are not alone" and it's wonderful to hear that the ET are here to help, inspire and heal. You won't be able to put this book down. Thank you, Virginia.

VIRGINA has given us a wonderful gift in writing this book so that those beings that need our help can come to us. THANK YOU Virgina we bless you always.
Hard to Put this Book Down.......2000-01-20
Virginia Aronson has a wonderful knack for keeping the reader on the edge of her seat. I truthfully could not put this down. She has done a great job of investigating and research which really makes this great reading -- knowing how much work went into this book. There is more to healing than we realize and I feel this book will help to open the frontier to more information regarding celestrial healings. Keep up the great work Virginia.
been there.......2000-01-06
I would greatly appriciate it if you would contact Ms. Aronson for me and pass along my email address. There is a lady in need of her help, her son has unexplained scars since he was 4 years old and fears "the big eyes" he is now 17 and suicidal. Please help us he is her only child...

Eileen Freeman believes in angels. Not the stern, demigod figures we've sometimes painted them to be, but rather intelligent beings, different from humans, who are vastly more ancient and wise. They show themselves to us visibly; they talk to us; they teach us. They want us to know about them and their mission, which is to help us, as individuals and as a race, to grow in love and wisdom. They don't care whether we're Christian, Buddhist, Moslem, Hindu, Sikh, or anything else. All they need from us is a certain openness to their existence and an active willingness to be part of the encounter. They want us to survive. In Touched by Angels, Eileen Freeman details these encounters--that of the woman who thought God had abandoned her dying husband until she saw an angel, praying quietly by his bed; that of the young man who gave up drugs after an angel appeared to him at a family funeral and led him to the grave of a man with his same name; that of the young girl whose fear of death was forever dispelled when her guardian angel assured her that her grandmother wasn't cold and lonely in her grave, but warm and happy in heaven. Those who have experienced these mystical visitations--from Dag Hammerskjold and Cotton Mather, to ordinary adults and children--have each believed, with a strange clarity that precluded doubt, that what they were experiencing was true. As Freeman assures us, such close encounters are a gentle promise that our God is a loving God who cares intimately about each one of us, even giving us into the care of a guardian angel, who leads us toward love and away from fear and hate.

The most authentic book about the angels I've ever read.......1998-06-17
Touched by Angels is one of those rare books that includes, rather than excludes readers. It isn't polemical or designed to criticize views of angels other than the author's. The author asks important questions like Why are we so interested in angels these days, and Why are the angels so interested in us? and she answers them very cogently. The stories of angelic intervention reflect the experiences of people of all religions and no religion, of white and black and hispanic, of men and women and kids, of people in danger or not. She writes in an easy conversational style that doesn't require a dictionary to understand! The book is great. I recommend it highly.
