Book Description
This true story of a soul's life after death will change the way you look at A provocative work that makes the case that Jesus taught reincarnation. Using evidence from the Dead Sea Scrolls and Gnostic texts, it argues persuasively that Jesus was a mystic who taught that our destiny is to unite with the God within.

Fascinating book!.......2007-08-08
This book is overwhelming. Extremely well written. Random revelations for me: Karma provides the situation, but there is still free will. We can take action today to change our future. Reincarnation provides a way to defend God's justice while defending Old Testament law. Jesus' Sermon on the Mount: "The measure you give will be the measure you get." Jesus said we must come to terms with God while we are alive.
We must pay our karmic debts while we're living. Earth, not hell, is the place of punishment. Resurection occurs while we are alive; the spirit can work out its own salvation. If Jesus had a beginning, and became God's son, then others can also become God's sons. Jesus never said he was the ONLY son of God. How is man saved? By worshipping Jesus, or emulating him? Many Orthodox Christians believe Jesus is a way to escape punishment for sins, not a way to achieve union with God. Moses gradually became divine while on earth.
Jesus taught the kingdom is not a time or a place. Kingdom means the power to rule (inwardly). The path to God is different for each person. You don't have to be perfect to begin the process of divination. Faith, grace and works are a tripod -- each indespensible. Grace is God meeting us half way. He doesn't pick us up and carry us into eternity. Jesus' single sacrifice did not cancel our need to balance our bad karma, over this lifetime, many lifetimes. Paul said: "We need to work out our own salvation."
Orthodox Christianity inflated the power of grace to astronomical proportions. Gnostics saw grace as a boost, a leg up, rather than an elevator ride to the top of the mountain. Jesus rekindles the divine spark in our souls, and we're on our way! Amen!
Effective in a negative way........2007-04-19
This book was only effective in forcing me to seek out any other book on the subject. The history she went over I have no problem with. It is everything else that I find quite annoying. She seems to ignore alternatives to how she interperets scripture and what one person says about reincarnation, being born again, life before this current one, etc.
She also ignores concepts, themes, and issues that today may shed light on the subject. She doesn't address or let the readers know of any other authority on the subject, which to me, makes me that much more skeptical of her credibility and ability to write on the topic.
I feel that I am alone in this and that is fine, each book affects each person differently. I guess I was just looking for more, and the author(s) didn't deliver.
Fascinating and Spiritually Satisfying .......2006-05-05
I was assigned a research paper for my English class and we were permitted to pick whatever topic we wished. Reincarnation is something that has always fascinated me, and since I am a Christian who believes in reincarnation, I decided to write my paper on reincarnation in early Christianity, the Bible, and its revival in modern society. I needed 15 sources, but this book could stand on its own! Prophet discusses historical justification for reincarnation in Christianity as it relates to Jesus' teachings, the Bible, and the Roman Empire. It discusses the lost years of Jesus, and the possibility of him visiting India, and employing mysticism in his teachings. The practicality of reincarnation as she argues it left me spellbound. I was a believer to begin with, but after reading this, I am even more convinced that reincarnation belongs in Christian theology. Did you know there are approximately 28 MILLION Christians who believe in reincarnation? This is only one of the amazing things you will discover if you read this amazing book! Its food for the mind and it quenches the soul that believes there is more out there than our beloved Christianity is telling us! Trust me, it is amazing!
Okay, to all of the skeptics!.......2005-08-14
Well, this book has definitely valitated my belief in reincarnation. The Christianity bible(King David) is WAY to black and white for me. And the whole concept of reincarnation brings forth a better understanding of what the WHOLE meaning of life is. I claim to be a Christian since I strive to emulate Jesus christ. Christ's teachings and his whole persona has always had an impact on me, especially his shed of blood on the cross, I cry almost every Christmas just thinking about it! I still believe he was that "special" person, the son of God, or even God in flesh because of all of his special supernatural powers and gifts that he had. I also have a great open mind to the way other religions practice like Kabbalah and Buddism because mediation, in my opinion, is also a missing link in the "belief" system of christianity. I don't like the fact that they believe it's a form of letting evil spirits come in. So, I love Christ he will always be in my heart, but also accept the way other religions like to practice AND what they believe even though some don't believe he was "the son of GOd" and believe he was just a teacher. I also have great respect for the Buddah too.
Finally relevant!.......2005-08-07
I cannot really add anything to the other positive reviews without being repetitive. One point however, and no small point I believe, is that the book actually makes Jesus relevant to those who have either given up Christianity or, like me, never related to it at all. Christianity without reincarnation simply makes no sense - with it, the pieces fall into place, and Elizabeth Clare Prophet spells out how.

Nothing lasts forever. Missing Links is a testament to how ephemeral even great golf courses designed by master architects can be. It's enough to break a hacker's heart.
In this lovely homage to what once was, Daniel Wexler identifies 47 historically significant pre-World War II courses lost largely to the needs of post-World War II development, and then proceeds to tee up their stories. Some of the courses loom as mythically large as Atlantis--Charles Blair Macdonald's Lido Golf Club on Long Island is still considered one of the most innovative designs ever, and A.W. Tillinghast's Fresh Meadow Country Club not only hosted the first PGA Championship, it boasted Gene Sarazen as head pro. Each of the lost gems is presented with a history filled with anecdotes, a complete diagram of the layout, a scorecard, and as many vintage photos as Wexler could fit. Most intriguing, Wexler also projects how each course might measure up today. Lido, insists Wexler, would still have golf traditionalists salivating--it would be, he surmises, "one of America's best... Every bit as good today as the day it was born." Amazingly, Missing Links evocatively extols dozens more nearly as worthy. --Jeff Silverman
Book Description
Why do a book on courses that dont exist? In the 1920s, Albert Lasker spent nearly $4 million to build Mill Road Farm Golf Club on his ultra-private estate. Ever hear of it? Daniel Wexler has found these courses: The Lido, Timber Point, Bayside Links. These are the incredible stories of Americas Missing Links.

quality effort.......2006-04-01
who knew america lost so many great golf courses until this book came out? the list of architects reads reads like a "who's who" with tillinghast, macdonald, ross, reynor, mackenzie and others losing their works mostly to development and depression. more than 25 in all mostly from new york's long island, chicago and california.
representing the greatest loss was "the lido," a macdonald design on the tip of long island's southside long beach. it was ranked #2 in the world to new jersey's pine valley, with many prominent players and architects ranking it #1 overall in the world. a seaside links cut in hamptons-like dunes with ever-present ocean-winds, and with replicas of many of the world's most famous holes, the reader can't help but dream of going back in time and playing here. the other lost course that will leave you wishing for a time machine is a little further out on long island "Timber Point," from the lesser known architect C.H. Alison. from the images, it looks like a cross between pine valley and cyprus, with it's half in the pine forest, half in the dunes routing.
the writing style is at times choppy and more pictures or illustrations would have been helpful (assuming any more existed), but all in all it's an engaging work that would capture the attention of most golf enthusiasts. it should be a required coffee table book at private clubs. in addition to the history, club members should be weary that their club could fall victim to the "eminent domain" development demands or hard times that claimed so many of these once thought of as "untouchable" masterpieces.
The lost wonders of golf.......2005-10-08
Not far from where I live is a park. It is hilly, has a small river running along one side, pleanty of dips and humps. Gee, I said to myself, this would make a great golf course. When I looked at an aerial photograph of the park, I could see trees which defined what could have been golf holes. Walking along them, I could see there was once what appeared to be a fairly engaging course there.
This was not one of the courses discussed in Missing Links, but it did make me quite curious about the subject. What masterpieces of the architectural greats (Macdonald, Thomas, etc.) have disappeared? What were they like?
Highest on my list of courses I wanted to know about was Lido, CB Macdonald's work that was said to feature a hole drawn up by Alestair Mackenzie for a design contest Macdonald held on a trip to England. Another was Ponoxo, Tillinghast's own playground for creative design.
Of the former, records exist, and it is thoroughly chronicled in Missing Links. This and other courses also feature a small appraisal by the author regarding whether the course would hold up to modern standards, presumably Tour standards. There are period photos as well, which aid the imagination in reconstructing the holes.
The latter, Ponoxo, was never built, despite Tillinghast writing extensively about his plans in his essays. Even here, Missing Links gives some view as to what the project was about, and why it did not take off.
This book is a must for golf historians and architecture fans. I doubt anyone else will get much out of it. However, given that so many classic designs are falling to the hands of modern "reconstruction", this book adds to the record of design concept and strategy which will hopefully not be totally forgotten.
A fascinating and informative tour through time.......2003-10-19
The Missing Links: America's Greatest Lost Golf Courses & Holes by golfing enthusiast and history Daniel Wexler wonderfully showcases grand American golf courses that have two things in common: they were designed by some of the most talented architects in the history of the sport, and they no longer exist in the present day. Resurrecting memories of lost golfing paradises with a profusion of maps, black-and-white photographs, picturesque descriptions and trivia, The Missing Links is a fascinating and informative tour through time and golf courses gone by. Also very highly recommended is Daniel Wexler's superbly illustrated companion volume, Lost Links: Forgotten Treasures Of Golf's Golden Age (Clock Tower Press, 193220203X, $45.00).
A Fascinating Look at the Best Disappearing Links.......2001-06-28
Summary: The enthusiasm for private golf courses is almost as high now as it was when most were established around a hundred years ago in the United States. During the Depression and in the suburban expansions after World War II, many private golf courses either disappeared or were turned into home lots. Mr. Wexler has done an outstanding job of bringing these courses to life, even though we will never see most of these holes in person. The book features 27 of over 100 lost courses that he has found. Among these are courses that hosted the PGA Championship and the U.S. Open. So much for fame!
Review: If you did not know that these courses have ceased to exist in their original form, you would think that existing courses were being described. The 27 featured courses include a visual layout of the course, scorecard, hole-by-hole descriptions, history of its development, photographs of play and holes, a little about the course designer, and an assessment of how the course would be viewed today.
I was particularly impressed to see that many of these courses disappeared in New York State. Imagine having so many scenic spots changed away from golf today. It would never happen. Or at least I hope it wouldn't. What do you think?
Of the courses, I was shocked to learn that 6 or 7 would be in the top 100 in the U.S. today. Even if that is optimistic, it does seem like a shame to lose any great golf tracks.
As a Donald Ross fan, I was astounded to find out that expanding I-95 in New Jersey had helped doom his course, the Englewood Country Club. Even more remarkable was the loss of Pinehurst number four, so close to his masterpiece of Pinehurst number two.
In addition to enjoying this book, golf club members should think about how to provide for the financial security of the courses where they play. After all, many of these are on land that would sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars an acre. What is to stop conversions of more top courses into building lots in the future during times of economic troubles? Certainly, the many clubs that have invested extra millions in clubhouses and courses recently may have made this more likely.
After you finish enjoying this book, think about what else may have disappeared from your community. See if your local historical society has photographic records to help you see those missing parts of history.
Cherish what is fine . . . even when the costs are high!
Great for the golf nut, mediocre for the average man.......2000-10-20
This is an incredibly original and detailed work. Golf historians and enthusiasts will appreciate the detail, but the average sports fan might find it too tedious. But if you are a golfer, Wexner spookily evokes lost courses and estimates how the courses would play today. The book is a bit pricey; yet, that won't matter to the right customer. An excellent book within a narrow frame.

The Ape in the Tree: An Intellectual and Natural History of Proconsul
ASIN: 0674008669 |
Amazon.com
Like many scientists of his generation, Eugene Dubois (1858-1940) was devoted to the ideas of Charles Darwin. He was also profoundly ambitious, seeking not only to establish incontrovertible proof of human evolution from some apelike ancestor--and thus reinforce Darwin's theories--but also to earn a place for himself at the head of modern scholarship.
Logic dictated that the remains of apelike ancestors would be found in the tropics, writes Pat Shipman in her thoughtful biography of Dubois. And such fossils had indeed been turning up throughout the Dutch East Indies, to which Dubois traveled in 1887. There, he conducted a rigorous campaign of excavations, which yielded fruit four years later with the discovery of fragmentary remains of a creature that he called Pithecanthropus erectus, the "upright-standing apeman" who constituted a missing link between modern humans and their distant ancestors.
Dubois's discovery met with controversy on a number of fronts, and on his return to Europe he complicated matters by refusing to allow other scholars to examine his fossil collection. Irascible, competitive, and more than a little paranoid, Dubois managed to alienate even would-be allies, and thus to distance himself from the scientific community. Effectively self-ostracized, Dubois was deprived of the honors and appointments he had striven for. Though Shipman's arguments sometimes seem overwrought, she nevertheless helps rehabilitate the reputation of this "underestimated man" by pointing to Dubois's many contributions to evolutionary theory. --Gregory McNamee
Book Description
Born eighteen months after the first Neanderthal skeleton was found and a year before Charles Darwin published The Origin of Species, Eugene Dubois vowed to discover a powerful truth in Darwin's deceptively simple ideas. There is a link, he declared, a link as yet unknown, between apes and Man.
It takes a brilliant writer to elucidate a brilliant mind, and Pat Shipman shines as never before. The Man Who Found the Missing Link is an irresistible tale of adventure, scientific daring, and a strange and enduring love--and it is true.

Annoying style.......2004-11-05
I confess I ended up first skimming the last half of this book, then several weeks later going back and reading the last chapter and dipping in various other places, so I possibily have not read the whole book, which is extremely unusual for me. But like some other reviewers, I found the style - especially the present tense - awfully annoying and tedious. It also seemed halfway between historical fiction and scientific biography, with all the reconstructed (or imagained?) conversations and thoughts; and you can't which are which. The extensive documentation endnotes indicate that some of these reconstructions are based on letters, etc., but there's no way to tell, and much of it seems just too far over the edge into historical fiction. I enjoy historic fiction very much, but that's not what I was looking for here, and felt I'd been drawn in under false pretenses. Overall, interesting but a tough slog of a read, even if you're really interested in the subject.
good to learn more about dubois.......2003-11-09
Many thanks to Pat Shipman for bringing alive this strange man who lurks around the edges of the story of evolution, jealously hiding his treasure trove of bones. He is one of those characters who always shows up, but you never had a chance to meet.
Just as skilled paleontologists reconstruct long-dead animals from a bone here, a tooth there, Shipman resurrects Dubois from a note here, a letter there. Of course much of this we have to accept on faith: we have no more solid proof that Dubois's behavior in many cases was just as Shipman has recreated it. But without her leaps of judgment, this book would be very dull, very scanty reading. Parts of the book are slow as we examine the ins and outs of old controversies and theories, but this detail is important for us to understand Duboi's character and work. Slog on through, but remember that Dubois was kicking and screaming into his eighties, so the book does go on. Maybe just as well we did not digress into the Taung baby and other contemporary discoveries.
I have read other books by Shipman, so it came as no surprise to me that the book was meticulously researched, informative, and enjoyable to read. However, I hope I never again have to read a book written almost entirely in the present tense. Shipman is a good enough author that she does not have to resort to such a tiresome gimmick to bring immediacy to her scenes.
Professor Shipman, if you are out there in front of the computer screen, please keep typing, I am looking forward to your next book. But please do remember how interesting the tenses of the English language are.
Sepia Toned Portrait Charming.......2002-01-22
I recommend this book to anyone regardless of her or his interest in human anthropology. Shipman's portal to the science is well written and tinted with full details of family life. A three dimensional portrait of Eugene Dubois that Shipman has deftly produced in the manner of a Masterpiece Theatre episode. This flavors the science so it goes down like dutch chocolate. Now that I'm hooked on the science, I'm tackling her co-authored "Neandertals".
A great story, beautifully told, but with odd balance........2001-05-18
The sentences in this book have been so elegantly crafted that they flowed like a smooth running brook. Since my wife and I like to alternate reading chapters from anthropology adventure stories out loud to each other, we were captivated by the editorial polishing that allowed us to pick up speed with nary a fumble (except for the occasional technical, Dutch or Indonesian words). While we had expected rough and tumble science, we were pleasantly surprised by how much this one was about Eugene Dubois's human relationships and the ups and downs of his feelings. (Perhaps there is a sex difference among biographers that accounts for this.)
The first half of the book describes Dubois's family and friends to the exclusion of much of his science, with somewhat of an opposite imbalance in the second half. For example, early on we gleaned from the occasional aside and bibliography (annoyingly given mostly in Dutch without an English translation) that he wrote several papers and a book on the evolution of the sun as discerned from studying the earth's geology. Unfortunately, the author does not tell her readers how or why he did this, or how much of his time this took up, or even what he hoped these efforts would accomplish for him, though we are told that he was achingly ambitious. Instead we find excruciating details of his relations with his family and friends, and how he traversed the flora and geography of Java. Eventually, he discovered Pithecanthropus erectus, the "missing link" between man and ape.
Later, after Dubois and his family return to the Netherlands, we do get excellent blow-by- blow accounts of the scientific in-fighting as other fossils like Peking Man and other Java men are discovered that cause reinterpretation of his finds and provoke controversy about them (later they are relabeled Homo erectus). By then, despite ourselves, we were hooked on his family relations and so frustrated to suddenly be left hanging about what happened on that front. Shipman tells us how and why Dubois separated from his wife, but not explicitly why they got back together or how they get along after they did. While his children tragically die, or wander off, or or make bad marriages, we get little information about how he does end up with descendants.
Even the scientific story has some inexplicable gaps. The big debate rages over the status of Java Man and Peking Man along with Neanderthal and other finds. Even Piltdown Man takes center stage at one point. But the debates over Taung Child and other discoveries in Africa are never mentioned. Did I miss something? We both came away feeling that the book got too long and instead of editing it down, section by section, a production decision was made to simply delete some of the chapters!
Despite these glitches I learned a lot from this book. Dubois did more than find a great fossil. He wrote a great deal on encephalization quotients (i.e., the ratios of brain size to expected body size) anticipating much current work in the evolution of the brain. He also put forward daring alternatives to Darwinian gradualism, like saltations that occur in brain size and so create new species. He has major triumphs and tribulations, and then triumphs again. And most of all, The Man Who Found the Missing Link illustrates the old adage that a man's greatest strengths are also his greatest weaknesses. The independent, bold, ambitious tenacity of the younger Dubois that enabled him to abandon an early professorship to seek his fortune in Java, renders him a needlessly arrogant, stubborn, recalcitrant scientist and lonely man in his later age.
Intruiging but bothersome.......2001-02-15
I was initially put off by the fly-on-wall narrative style - direct quotations from meetings between friends or lovers and even personal and feelings and motivations being put down as fact. This is intermixed with copies of letters and diary entries that are well noted ... a trend in biography that I have a hard time getting used to.
After several chapters though, I was engaged by the substance of the story and these concerns faded somewhat for me. I also find it a bit unpalatable for a modern biography to gloss over quite so neatly the contributions or the conditions of the native people who were forced labor under colonial rule. These peoples may have little history written down, but it seems odd to not for the modern biographer/historian not to at least acknowlegement the situation.
I agree that the Amazon editor's review that Ms. Shipman is at times "overwrought" in the defense of a rather ghastly but brilliant man. Dubois turned out to be rather visionary in hindsight, but one gets the feeling of some of the other major players being slighted in this re-telling just because they happened to be wrong.
I did enjoy the book though, and I reccommend to anyone with an interest in evolutionary biology and the history of science. For the simple biography lover - my enthusiasm is lukewarm, the material is really only interesting in the context of the greaqt debate (that rages even today) about the origins of the human species. This book provides little context or additional information about that battle and would likely leave the uninitiated reader either confused or wanting more.

Following a search the author conducted over a period years provided great interest for me. Linking his family bible to the past in Germany and America was very exciting. I especially liked the way he connected the history of the times with the history of his family. It allows the reader to connect whith the quest and take part in the authors journey.
