I picked this book up in a local thrift store for $1.99, intrigued by the beautiful red and black cover design with a mysterious witch standing against the backdrop of an ocean expanse, within a circle of flames. The title of the book was equally enigmatic to me, not knowing the relevance or meaning of it within Pagan history or practice. Flicking through the pages I noticed that there was some ...

An amazing book about an amazing woman. A++++
This is going to the top of the "books my kids must read" when they are going off to college or leaving home. This book is a supposedly a series of Stella Adler's lectures about acting, but it is also very inspirational as a series of lectures about how to live. Addler says that "The whole thing about acting is to give. The actor must above everything be generous. He doesn't hoard his ...

An excellent book covering the major ideas of Adler
The book presents the major works written by Adler himself. The editors give excellent commentary through out the book to help elucidate Adler's main ideas. The editors frequently compare and contrast Adler and Freud, making for very interesting reading. A must for any clinician.

This book has greatly helped me. I think this should be required reading in any school, be it home or public. I will certainly have my new born read it (well, once she is old enough). Now I have so many more tools available to me while reading. You will not read the same after reading this book. If you apply this book your skill will greatly increase. It has help me love to read!

Perfect read for daydreaming and wandering around the world.
My attention was drawn to the cover of this delicious book, AND because I have been to Venice several times. Had never read any of Adler's books prior to this. Loved "Meet Me in Venice" because it is purely make-believe and it was really grand to sit in the sand, hear the ocean and get taken away from it all. I could not put it down. Since then (3 weeks ago), I have read "One of Those Malibu ...

Another good book from E. Adler
I really enjoyed this book. In typical Adler style, it had lots of gorgeous locations, which she does a masterful job of describing to the reader. Looking forward to the next one.

It was a "bellisimo storia d'amore".....
.... or as I learned - a "beautiful love story'! My constant daydreams of traveling to Italy (and/or Greece) were temporarily satisfied by this lovely book. Ms. Adler's descriptive writing made me feel as if I were in the quaint Tuscan Village watching from the sidelines, could feel the hot sun, see the bougainvilla flourishing, taste the fresh fruit, good cheeses & meats & excellent wines. I ...

Jonathan Adler is FABULOUS!
I adored this book. I loved the stories and I loved the IDEAS. Now, pay attention: He doesn't lay out a formula for decorating and yes his rooms are a little "over the top." Would I have two giant chinese dogs on my patio? No..., BUT, I'm on the hunt for two smaller ones because I loved the idea. His other concepts -- using tassles in unexpected places, usuing color, pillows, adding ...

Summary Without Loss of Depth
How do you summarize a summary of 2500 years of thought? Great! Mortimer Adler was one of the greatest philosophers of the 20th Century, primarily because of the literally ecyclopaedic nature of his knowledge. I say literally encyclopaedic because he edited the Encyclopaedia Britanica and wrote The Synopticon, a summary of Western philosophy, among the scores of other books bearing his name. ...

Stella Adler on Ibsen, Strindberg, and Chekhov
This book is a must for serious actors who wish to further their understanding of the great writers for the stage. Before reading this book, I was, as an actor, very intimidated by the works of all three writers, but now feel like I can approach their plays with some degree of clarity and purpose. Adler writes from the point of view of performer, literary analyst, and teacher, a combination that ...

Her story centers on her aunt, Lily Molyneux, a beautiful woman of 19th century Ireland who drove men to madness. Because of a brutal rape, Lily becomes pregnant.

Psychological Acting
This is a very good book for people who want to dedicate their lives to acting. It goes through basic conditions which people have to create for themselves so acting works for them. The field of acting is so tenuous that it takes all the concentration a person has, this book gives guidance to gaining that concentration. I found it to be a valuable tool when studying to become an actor. I ...

Finally, Somebody knows what they're talking about part 2
I bought this book at the same time I bought Delivered From Distraction. I read this book first because of it's focus on adults and medications which is what concerned me most. After my insurance company took away my name brand prescription, I began to take the generic which proved disastrous on many levels. Since that time I have struggled to find a medication that would be right for me and OK ...

Great Textbook About International Management
I have had the pleasure of using Adler's book for several years now. Simply put, it is far more enjoyable to read than the average textbook and is packed with useful information for those wanting to learn. Adler does a superb job of addressing the various dimensions of culture. She explains culture quite clearly and makes many connections to management practice. But maybe what I like best is ...

The price beats what most college bookstores charge. I always reccommend purchasing online it could cut the cost of the book in half. However if your going to purchase your college book online you should visit the college bookstore and find out what the instructor requires for the class a few weeks ahead of time so you dont get stuck paying for expedited shipping.

Almost as good as a trip to the Italian Coast
The characters came alive and I was able to totally immerse myself in their tale. It was astouding to look up the specific places mentioned in the book, and find out they were real - and what glorious places in which to find oneself. A great escape!
