Tuckerman Ravine | Timeless New England

In April 4, 1937, some 2,800 hardy spectators and a small number of ski adventurers, many of them members of the Dartmouth Outing Club, trekked the roughly 2.5 miles from Pinkham Notch, New Hampshire, to the base of the immense […] View Details

Recent reviews
Outstanding 4.6 /5 from 933 reviews
While this hotel seems like it's a bit out of the way (tucked away in what seems to be more of an industrial area), it's a short drive to plenty of services/restaurants and it actually has its own restaurant that is open for breakfast, lunch & dinner. It is directly across the road from one of the Calgary Airport runways, but despite that, I didn't really notice the sound of planes taking off that much. Comfortable room. Reasonably quiet HVAC system. The staff were really friendly at the front desk, too. I would stay there again!
A beautiful hotel with excellent service. Sleek room with lots of storage and heated floors in the foyer/bathroom. Tucked in an industrial area, so you have to drive to have access to what they don't have but if you are settling in for some onsite swimming, resting, working out it is great! Onsite restaurant is expensive, even with the 20% off breakfast vouchers they give on admission.
Truly enjoyed our stay at Radisson. Loved the very modern and stylish design, starting at the lobby and throughout the hotel. The room was spacious and very cool and slick. Loved the heated floor in the bathroom. Staff was very friendly and efficient. Breakfast was buffet style and good. Only hoped that breakfast would be included in room rate. It would be nice to have access from road looking a bit more finished. Could barely see the Radisson sign from road when arriving.
Restaurant service was extremely slow
Our comforter had a funny smell when we got there and as soon as I told the front desk they were there changing it within minutes. Great service staff.

Hey Rose -
What year was this taken at RFK? I believe that is me in the background with the white T-shirt, hat and blue shorts. I was there in 89", '90 (rain, so that wasn't it), '91 and '93. If that is me, I probably have my fist to my face because I am trying to keep from puking up my mushroom and peanut butter sandwich with the beer chaser.
Nice to see you havin' a ball. Hot or not I'm sure you had a good one!
Never had such a good time...........
RFK shows were my favorite, Ilved in DC suburbs in 80's and 90's never missed a show there! We'd always go down way early and party down by the river.

Sign of the Day - LASAGNA
Interpreter Q & A: Asking Questions vs. Being Nosey
Interpreter Tips | Thursday, July 21, 2016
In an educational setting, a student asked me to accompany her to interpret a conversation with one of her teachers. On the way to the teacher's classroom, I asked "What did you need to see the teacher for?" The deaf student responded, "It's none of your business, you are the interpreter and you will do what I tell you to do!" Needless to say, I was shocked at this answer.
I always try to prepare myself and avoid misunderstandings. For example, before going into a doctor's office, I ask the client why they're there, to prepare myself as well as to get a feel for the client's signing style, etc. I'm not being nosey and I feel this response was very curt and rude. Is this how we are viewed?
Not trying to be nosey
An Experienced Interpreter's Perspective:
I think there are a number of issues at play. First, there is your question and reasoning behind it. I applaud your rationale. You were trying to be prepared for the event and to try and gauge the Deaf person's sign style/preference. That's great! However, I wouldn't have asked why the student wanted to see the teacher. It may be misconstrued as fishing for information.
If this was a first-time assignment, I think the most I might ask would be, "What does the teacher teach?" That way, the subject being taught would prime my brain for certain terms and/or grammatical aspects of ASL/English.
If you're trying to measure a young student's signing preference, you could ask about another less threatening topic. One question I use is "What is your favorite game?" Lots of times, young kids will answer by talking about their favorite video game. They're more relaxed and it helps me find a good starting point for matching their preferences.
The second issue is the Deaf student's response. Remember that she's young and part of being a student is learning how to be a savvy yet polite consumer. If this educational setting is your full-time position, you should talk with the student as soon as you can after the interpreting event. Be honest but not authoritative. Remember, diplomacy can be your best friend. You might want to tell her that it always helps the interpreter to have something to start with, both content and communication preferences, so that you can be ready to interpret. This way the student might volunteer necessary information next time without an interpreter having to ask.
Experienced Deaf Consumer's Perspective:
That sounds familiar to me. I have seen and heard this reaction from students. I believe the student is learning how to utilize an interpreter. Some students will use too much power without common sense. Often, deaf students are told that interpreters do not have the right to be nosey about their personal lives, but at the same time they do not understand how the Code of Ethics really works for them. This student probably didn't even think ahead about the fact that the interpreter is going to find out what the topic will be in a few moments anyway. They just don't know why you are asking those kinds of questions.
After the initial meeting – not right away, but later on – you should have a nice comfortable talk with the student about why you ask those kinds of questions. Explaining this would be beneficial. Some students need help learning how to utilize interpreters and what to expect later in the deaf community. Eventually, the student can decide whether the interpreter's questions are appropriate prior to situations. This student is still learning.
12 Facts You Probably Don't Know About Helen Keller
Deaf Culture | Monday, June 27, 2016
Helen Keller became deaf and blind at 19 months old. She was famous from the age of 8 for her experience of overcoming great obstacles in order to learn to communicate. This early part of her life is the most well-known, but the story doesn't end there. Helen would go on to become not only well educated, but famous in her own right as an author and activist. She has even been said to be one of the 20th century's leading humanitarians and was named one of the most important people of the 20th century by Life magazine.
Here are 12 facts you probably don't know about Helen Keller.
#1 Her famous life story was based on the autobiography she wrote.
Helen Keller's early life was made famous through the well-known story The Miracle Worker, which was made into a Broadway play (1959-1961; 1994; 2010), television drama (1957; 1979; 2000), and film (1962). It was even adapted for Spanish (TVE, 1978) and Italian (RAI, 1968) television.
The Miracle Worker tells the story of Keller's breakthrough in understanding the connection between words, language, and the world around her. Many people don't realize The Miracle Worker story is based on Keller's first book, the autobiography "The Story of My Life," which was published in 1903 when she was just 24 and went on to become a renowned classic, translated into 50 languages.
#2 She thought of herself as an author first.
Although she accomplished many things, Keller saw herself as a writer first – her passport listed her profession as "author."
She used both a braille and regular typewriter - she used a braille typewriter to prepare her manuscripts and then copied them on a regular typewriter.
She published fourteen books, many articles and essays, and was a frequent contributor to magazines and newspapers. The Helen Keller Archives contain over 475 speeches and essays that she wrote on topics such as faith, blindness prevention, birth control, the rise of fascism in Europe, and atomic energy.
#3 She was an Oscar winner and her life inspired two Oscar-winning movies.
Helen Keller won an Oscar for Best Documentary in 1956 for the story of her life Helen Keller in Her Story (also known as The Unconquered). She accepted the Academy Award at the age of 75. Keller is the only person to win an Academy Award for appearing in a documentary about her life and also have someone else win an Oscar for portraying her in another movie about her life.
The Miracle Worker story won many awards. The 1962 film won Academy Awards for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. Patty Duke, who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, is the only actress to win an Oscar for a role in which only one word is said (she says, "Water!" in the famous scene in the movie when Keller understands that what she is touching at the pump is called water). The original 1959 The Miracle Worker play ran for 719 performances and won the 1960 Tony Award for Best Play, in addition to Best Direction, Best Stage Technician, and Best Actress.
#4 She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest honor that an American civilian can receive.
In addition to Oscars and Tonys being awarded for adaptations to her life story The Miracle Worker, Helen Keller received many awards during her lifetime. She received the Theodore Roosevelt Distinguished Service Medal in 1936 and in 1964 was awarded the highest honor that an American civilian can receive, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. She later received Brazilian Order of the Southern Cross (1952), the Philippines' Golden Heart, the French Legion of Honor (1952) and Japan's Sacred Treasure. She was elected to the Women's Hall of Fame at the New York World's Fair in 1965, the Alabama Women's Hall of Fame in 1971, and the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1973. A U.S. Stamp with a picture of Keller and Sullivan was issued in 1980. Other countries have issued stamps with her image as well, including Spain, India, Liberia, Nicaragua, Republic of Maldives, Mauritius, Brazil, and Japan.
#5 She was well-educated and the first deaf-blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree.
Helen Keller graduated cum laude from Radcliffe College (Harvard's Women's College) in 1904 at the age of 24. She was the first deaf-blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. She also learned to read French, German, Greek, and Latin in braille!
In June 1955, Helen was the first woman to be awarded an honorary degree from Harvard University. She also received honorary degrees from Temple University in Pennsylvania, Glasgow University in Scotland; Delhi University in India; Berlin University in Germany; and Witwatersrand University in Johannesburg, South Africa.
#6 She performed on the Vaudeville circuit as a speaker.
Keller was offered a chance to join Vaudeville as a teenager (Vaudeville is a genre of entertainment featuring specialty acts and the Vaudeville circuit included many venues across the U.S.), but turned down the opportunity because her family and her teacher Anne Sullivan didn't think it was a good idea. Keller eventually convinced Sullivan. Keller performed on the Vaudeville circuit from 1920 to 1924 as a lecturer with Anne Sullivan.
The public was intrigued by Keller and wanted to see for themselves if she could do all of the things she was credited for – most deaf-blind people during this time were institutionalized and assumed to be "retarded," rumors also circulated that Keller plagiarized, that her books were written by ghost authors, and that her teacher Anne Sullivan and her husband used Keller to spread their own views. Keller wanted the opportunity to re-tell her story the way she wanted it told, to be an advocate, and to educate others on the struggles of the deaf-blind.
Keller was billed as "The Star of Happiness" and her show was a success. The audience was surprised to hear her speak and the most popular part of the show was the Q & A at the end, where Keller got to showcase her quick wit and push her political views. When asked if talking tires her, Keller responded, "Did you ever hear a woman who tired of talking?"
#7 She was a world traveler and visited a total of 39 countries across 5 continents.
Helen was a world traveler and visited a total of 39 countries across 5 continents. She was an activist for both the American Federation for the Blind and Helen Keller International (which she helped to found), and spent much of her later years traveling around the world, raising money and awareness for the blind and other social issues.
She didn't slow down. In 1955, when she was 75 years old, she embarked on one of her longest and most grueling journeys - a 40,000-mile, five-month-long tour through Asia.
#8 She was a dog lover and was the first to bring the Japanese Akita dog breed to America.
She loved dogs and had dogs throughout her life.
She introduced the Japanese Akita breed to America after receiving her first Akita dog, which was a gift from police officer Ichiro Ogasawara during one of her trips to Japan.
#9 She has a love affair with one of her assistants.
An interesting story that is not included in many biographies about Helen Keller is she had a love affair in 1916 at the age of 36. Anne Sullivan and Keller worked closely together and lived together, however, Sullivan was away seeking treatment and recuperating from tuberculosis. Peter Fagan, a 29-year-old Boston Herald reporter, became Keller's secretary during this time and they fell in love. However, 1916 society, including Keller's family and Sullivan, didn't think women with disabilities should get married or have normal romantic desires. Fagan and Keller had taken out a marriage license and had planned to elope. They tried twice to run off together, but were stopped by Keller's family and teachers. The third time, Keller waited on the dark porch with her packed bag, but Fagan never showed up. Some of Fagan's family say the family legend is that Fagan was threatened by the Keller family and he retreated because he feared for his life. They also say Keller's teacher Anne Sullivan was jealous of anyone else getting close to Keller and insisted the relationship end.
#10 She was a dignitary with many famous friends.
Helen became a celebrity among celebrities and she met a number of influential and famous people.
Among her friends were author Mark Twain and inventor Alexander Graham Bell. She made quite an impact on Mark Twain. They met at a lunch held for her in New York in 1895. He was so impressed with her that he encouraged his benefactor to fund her education, which he did. The financial support allowed her to pursue a college education, becoming the first deaf-blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree.
Twain once said, "The two greatest characters in the 19th century are Napoleon and Helen Keller. Napoleon tried to conquer the world by physical force and failed. Helen tried to conquer the world by power of mind — and succeeded!" Perhaps inspired by Keller, one of Twain's famous quotes is, "Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear, and the blind can see."
Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the light bulb, helped connect her family to the Perkins Institute for the Blind, where they found Anne Sullivan and where Helen later attend school for a few years. She dedicated her first book, The Story of My Life to him, "To ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL who has taught the deaf to speak and enabled the listening ear to hear speech from the Atlantic to the Rockies, I dedicate this Story of My Life."
She met 12 U.S. presidents - every U.S president from Grover Cleveland to John F. Kennedy. She also met leaders of other countries, including the Queen of England, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, Prime Minister of Israel Golda Meir, and Japanese Emperor Hirohito.
Additionally she met many famous people, including Albert Einstein, Henry Ford, Andrew Carnegie, Eleanor Roosevelt, Will Rogers, Emma Goldman, Eugene Debs, Charlie Chaplin, Katharine Cornell, Jo Davidson, Martha Graham, Enrico Caruso, and Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes.
#11 She was a political activist with strong political views, which were considered radical.
Keller said, "So long as you can sweeten another's pain, life is not in vain." She lived by that mantra and is remembered as a social activist who fought for the rights of others. What many don't know is that she had strong political views, which were considered radical for the time.
She wrote socialist pieces and was such a controversial author that the FBI did surveillance on her, and the Nazis burned a collection of her political essays in 1933. Media that once supported Keller lashed out at her for her socialist beliefs. She remarked on the change of attitude from one editor, "At that time the compliments he paid me were so generous that I blush to remember them. But now that I have come out for socialism he reminds me and the public that I am blind and deaf and especially liable to error."
Causes she advocated for included:
- She was a suffragette who advocated for women's right to vote and access to birth control.
- She was a pacifist and protested the U.S. involvement in World War I.
- She was an early supporter and donor of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), fighting particularly for the rights of blind African Americans.
- She joined the Socialist Party and fought for workers' rights.
- She co-founded the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in 1920.
- She helped to found Helen Keller International in 1915.
- In 1921, Helen joined the American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) and worked for the organization for over 40 years.
- She testified before Congress, strongly advocating to improve the welfare of blind people.
- In 1925, Keller addressed the Lions Club at their International Convention in Cedar Point, Ohio. She challenged Lions to become "knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness." Since then, the Lions have worked to aid the blind and visually impaired. They have helped millions of people worldwide and continue to have sight programs designed to prevent blindness, restore eyesight and improve eye health and eye care.
#12 Helen Keller Day is celebrated on her birthday – June 27th.
Helen Keller's June 27th birthday is commemorated as Helen Keller Day.
Helen Keller Days have been proclaimed by the mayors of Newark, New Jersey, Annapolis, Maryland, and is recognized annually in the state of Pennsylvania and Alabama. Helen Keller Day was authorized at the federal level by presidential proclamation by President Jimmy Carter in 1980, for the 100th anniversary of her birth.
Her birthplace, a plantation called Ivy Green in Tuscumbia, Alabama, is now a museum and the City of Tuscumbia hosts an annual Helen Keller Festival the last week of June.

(bright, upbeat music) (camera shutter clicks) (camera shutter clicks) (camera shutter clicks) - Hey, welcome. My name's Chris Orwig, and I'll be your host and guide on this training adventure. And I'm really excited about this training title, and here's why. What we're gonna do is take a look at how we can make our photographs of people even better. And you know what? Some of the most impactful photographs of all time have been photos of people. Isn't that interesting? Sometimes you look at those photos, you see the before and then the after, and you say, "How did they do that?" Well, we're going to demystify that.
I'm gonna teach you how to really make your photographs of people come to life. Now, this is not a beginning Photoshop training title. So if you ever feel like you're over your head, go ahead and check out some of my other training titles and then hop back to this one. And, even more, in order to be good at retouching, we have to be creative, we have to be insightful, so as a result, I though it'd be fun to include a few creative tips throughout this training title. So what exactly are we gonna cover here? Well, while we're going to cover a wide range of topics, here are a few. We're gonna start off by looking at color and tone, because really, you have to get that right from the get-go.
Because if it's not right, all the rest of our retouching will be irrelevant. Then, we're gonna focus in on the small details. And there, we're gonna talk about how can we clean up our photographs? In particular, how can we work on those little small details in Camera Raw? And then, how can we work on those little small details inside of Photoshop? And, after we've done that, we're gonna get to some other topics. How can we enhance our photos? For example, how can we reduce or remove wrinkles? How can we brighten or whiten teeth? And then, one of the most important aspects of our photographs of people: the eyes.
How can we brighten eyes, sharpen eyes, add a little bit of sparkle to eyes? Or for that matter, how can we change the eye color? And then, of course, we'll work on eyebrows and eyelashes. Then we're gonna get to some other topics like makeup. How can we add or enhance or change makeup? And then, we'll say, well, what can we do with the body? How can we add a little bit of symmetry? Or, for that matter, how can we do some thinning? And after we've learned all of these different little skills, we'll say, okay, the very end of this training title, how can I put all of those skills together? How can I work on one image from start to finish? And we'll have a workflow chapter where we will do just that.
Now, as you can tell, I'm incredibly excited about this training title. And I'm excited because I love photography of people. It's one of my passions, and I love making my photographs of people that much better. And so, we're gonna dig in to how we can use Photoshop in order to make our photos of people stronger, more compelling, more engaging, and more inspiring. So, we have a lot of ground to cover, so without further delay, let's begin.

(April 7, 2010)--Joycelyn Moody, UTSA Sue E. Denman Distinguished Chair in American Literature, was one of 35 people from around the world invited to participate in the 2010 Oxford Round Table Sessions at Lincoln College, a component of Oxford University in the United Kingdom.
The Oxford Round Table Sessions promote education, art, science, religion and charity by means of academic conferences and publication of scholarly papers.
Participants were nominated by colleagues, and Moody was one of three professors of literature included in the group. Other academic disciplines represented included nursing, political science, public policy, mathematics, fine arts, business administration, women's studies, philosophy and oceanography.
Moody commented and led a discussion on a paper on applications of biblical scripture about women at a faith-based college. She is the author of the book "Sentimental Confessions: Spiritual Autobiographies by 19th Century African-American Women."
"My experience with the Oxford Round Table was truly extraordinary and invigorating," said Moody. "The university community at Oxford generated a stimulating educational environment, and I felt privileged to engage with the impressive scholars who convened to discuss a broad range of diverse and complex issues facing women in the academy. Because we represented so many different backgrounds and disciplines, we had significant ideas to share with each other. That level of intellectual and international exchange is rare and thrilling."
The Round Table Sessions provide participants with the opportunity to network on a critical topic of scholarly interest or specialization and share research across various disciplines. In addition to the discussions, participants made local and regional trips to tour the Oxford city center, university grounds and Cotswolds, the site of Britain's lush sheep-grazing lands.

You people are sick. Millions of dogs are killed in this country every year because there aren't enough homes. So all of you people with small peens are out breeding your dogs and adding to the pet over-population crisis. Every one of you people should be spayed and neutered so you don't spread your stupidity.

Best in Japan: Société Générale
Best in Japan
Japanese markets have been driven by political events over the past year. After Shinzo Abe's election as prime minister ushered in an aggressive programme of monetary expansion and government spending, the Nikkei 225 index responded by reaching a multi-year high in May, before giving up some ground. The yen's performance has been nearly as dramatic. At the end of July, it had depreciated 10% year-to-date against the US dollar. It is against these dramatic shifts that Société Générale (SG)...

The Problem With... P!nk's "Raise Your Glass"
's coming out with a new album, so we better get this party started.
We all know Pink (or is it P!nk?) as the punkish champion of all the "underdog" kids in high school. It's great marketing. I wish other artists would... oh yeah, they all do. To her credit, though, Pink's voice seems to indicate that she invests a bit of experience and emotion into her music. She also advocates for a few charities and causes and I have no problem with that.
"Speak Up and Sing" I say--so long as she doesn't repeat that dripping-wet Cirque Du Soleil thing she did at the Grammys back in January. That was just weird.
Anyway, the "dealio" with her new single, "Raise Your Glass," is that it sounds too much like tracks that Katy Perry and others have recently dished out, with their poppy guitar chords and the party beat.

The other problem? Her cliche-filled lyrics undermine her talent and passion. This track has stale lines all over. You can't get more derivative than this line: "Slam, slam / Oh, hot damn." Meanwhile, the bridge in this track has a crooked line ("Don't be fancy / just get dancey") followed by a line that I thought died at the water coolers in 2008 ("Why so serious?"). The Joker, she ain't.
So, OK: With a derivative sound and stale lines, "Raise Your Glass" just isn't a great example of what Pink can do well.
I could say that Pink opened the door for other pop artists to do odd and provocative stuff, but she was hardly the first.
Besides, I just hear the "wrong in all the right ways" bit from the chorus as "rebellious in all the legally and socially acceptable ways."
Then again, maybe that's why I can't write pop music.

From card running at idle to full load underneath Crysis 2, the total wattage increase is only 200 watts. At idle it seems to draw 10 watts more than the ATI 5770 card it replaced.
Card has over twice the raw thru put of the previous card it replaced but the GPU rendering in Sony Vegas only improved 20% which indicates the drivers need serious work to improve it. Photoshop CS identifies the ATI OpenCL drivers and gives full GPU acceleration.
Sitting at idle, the card temperature is 57°C while the motherboard and CPU are sitting at 85°F! Default fan speed is to slow and allows the card to heat up to much whether at idle or at max. Setting the fan speed to 40% drops the temperature over 12°C without much noise. When playing games, I manually set the fan speed to 50-60% to keep the temps down in the 60-65°C range. The fan is loud at the higher speeds, but its low pitch sound makes it more bearable. At 100% it's impressive the amount of air it can move and how loud it is.
In my computer, the card has a 230mm fan on the left, two 140mm fans to the front, two 120mm fans to the back, and another 230 mm fan above so the card has cool air blowing across it at all times. When playing Crysis 2 or GPU rendering, it's impressive the amount of heat the card blows out of its vents. If you have a computer that normally runs hot, I'd look at one of the other brands with multiple fans.Read more ›
It's been 2 months for them to address my issue, and still remains unresolved.
So, if you buy this card, just hope that it won't break down or you will be dealing with awful customer support.

Copyright 1986 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
"Jeffrey Burton Russell is not only a conscientious historian, he is also an introspective essayist who acknowledges his own continuing struggle to understand the nature and the source of evil."―Robert Coles, New York Times Book Review
"It is more than the history of demonological imagination as it has been displayed for half a millennium in theological controversies, in poetry, novels, paintings, and witch trials: it is the history of European man trying to cope with the terrifying riddle of radical evil. . . . Both an extremely rich scholarly work and an exiquisite exercise in a topic that is unlikely ever to die off in our civilization."―Leslek Kolakowski, Journal of Modern History
"This book moves with sustained seriousness and brilliance across five centuries, from Luther's time to our own . . . and, although it has all the virtues of great intellectual history, it is explicitly rooted in a profound moral analysis of our own era."―M. D. Aeschliman, National Review
"No few sentences can adequately convey the book's richness of content and seriousness of purpose. Russell has without doubt bequeathed us a magnificent synthesis of Western culture's modern, tortuous grappling with the ideas of radical evil and the devil."―Brian Easlea, American Historical Review
"An excellent and important intellectual history."―Library Journal

viewed since the Reformation. Russell takes a historian's stance to examine
a subject both controversial and mystifying at best. No stone is left unturned
as he looks at how the devil is viewed by church officials, commonfolk,
and intelligentsia,and how these views are reflected in the artwork and pop-culture
of those times. This work manages at once to be intellectual and an easy read,
thorough and engrossing. A must for anyone fascinated by the forces that have shaped Christian thought.
This volume picks up with the beginning of the Reformation, whose emphasis on sola fide revitalized older medieval ideas of diabology. Some interesting, and scary, fragments of Martin Luther's life are retold, including the tidbit that one of his most important biographers, Heiko Oberman, described Luther's whole existence as a "war with Satan." He also uses this section of the book to look at the diabology of John Calvin and sixteenth-century mystic-contemplatives St. John of the Cross and Teresa of Avila.
With the appearance of the Enlightenment, increasing popularity of empiricism, rationalism, and use of the scientific method, people started to take diabology – or at least the possible existence of the Devil – much less seriously (which is hardly a surprise). In this section of the book, Chapter III, the reader gets a plodding, thirty page-long piece of exegesis on Milton's "Paradise Lost," which while it is a poem largely about the Devil, seems to consist of too much summary and too much ham-handed literary analysis.Read more ›
The idea of the Devil, the very personification of evil, has changed much since the early days of Judaism and Christianity. By the dawn of the Renaissance, the Devil had undergone a kind of "rebirth" himself. Though the onset of the early modern era had seen the beginnings of science and reason, superstition and religious persecution was at an all time high. Russell examines the role of the Devil in the Reformation and during the height of the Witch Craze. Though they differed on many points of theology, Catholics and Protestants definately agreed that Satan continued to be a very real and very dangerous foe. Russell continues his story into the Enlightenment and the Age of Reason, which saw the Devil lose his teeth, followed by his romanticization in the 19th century as a rebellious anti-hero.
Though still feared by the credulous and railed against in the pulpits by evangelicals, Satan has largely been reduced to a shadow of his former self, an advertising ploy whose imagery is used to sell everything from deviled ham to movie tickets. Russell's books are generally considered the standard modern work on the history and myth of the Devil, and this volume examplifies why this is so. Well worth checking out.
In 'Mephistopheles: The Devil in the Modern World' Russell paints on a broad canvas pointing out the immense scale of diabolical infusion within the modern day 20th century landscape. No facet of life is devoid of his demonic image and influence; art, music, fashion, advertisin, politics. He's everywhere.
A grand conclusion to a monumental amount of research!

"Extremely informative"
I'm going to have to listen to it multiple times to make sure I have all his tips on paper so I can go back to them as needed. He shared so much information, that you'll need to review from time to time. He have detailed explanations on what tools to use and for what purpose. Great job!
"lots of tips"
Overall the book was good as I got a lot of tips which I have already started to use. So the return on investment in purchasing was and is very high. I have one suggestion, the book is very drawn out and it could be easily 50% shorter.
"Can't wait to start my business!"
Yay! I will have to listen again and implement each chapter as I go. I want multiple little streams that turn into one big stream
"A bit dated maybe"
useful info, but got a bit dated (even if just by a few years). still very useful tips and ideas. worth the listen.
uh, it ended.
no characters, not a story
"can do" people.

"Practical, It Works - Overall Excellent"
The book is extremely practical. I am in the web design / technical field for over 15 years now and was amazed by some of the things the author brought to my attention. I am ready for my next "info" product....you ask when....read the book and you all will answer I am ready "NOW"
Web tips
No but would love to listen more from these guys.
Do you give seminars and small business face to face advice
"Lots of good information"
Yes, I will listen again, or buy the printed copy in order to look up the many informative pages he mentions that are on his web site.
N/A not that type of book
Lots of information to absorb. Well organized and pretty easy read even for a real novice.
Quality, Value, Community!
"Packed with ideas, information and inspiration!"
A Must Own
When I realized that I now have ALL the tools I need to create Six Figure wealth for myself and my family. This book, coupled with my life experience = Six Figure Income!
The style is clear and no-nonsense, yet entertaining when appropriate. This book is not crammed full of useless
I was compelled to listen in one sitting. However, I have now listened to it four times, because like a great movie, you always see something you missed the 2nd, 3rd, 4th time around, and there are too many priceless gems in this treasure trove of information to miss.
I have a huge
The authors have a website that supports listeners with additional resources, information, ideas and yes, further inspiration! Thank you, Audible, for making this audio-book available.
Thank You, Jonathan Rozek & David Lindahl for this invaluable resource.
"a sales page , thats it"
a total sales page, maybe a page or two of useful info, misleading cover
what a waste of $$$$$$$$$
dont buy!
"This book sux"
I never written a review before but I have to say something because it was so bad.
I never never give 1 star rating to any of the book but this one deserve the lowest star possible. This book piss me off so much and it was painful to listen to. When I finally finished it, I felt cheated. Please dont waste ur money on this book.

I could not quite distinguish her face in the poorly-lit room, so I was not sure who she was.
