Out of Date
As the owner of two Ridgebacks,I read this book awhile ago.I reread it recently and there are many out of date subjects.It explains that puppies born with Dermoids or Ridgeless should be put to sleep.I bought a puppy to discover that he had 3 large Dermoids.Many vets do this operation now.Dermoids surgery is anywhere from $150-500.What is the matter with a Ridgeless puppy?Nothing.At least find a good home for the puppy.Many people dont mind a ridgeless.Out dated vaccination info.I recommend Natural Health for Dogs and Cats by DR Pitcairn.

The Complete Rhodesian Ridgeback
Very good book if you are geared toward showing your dog. Or if you were really interested in the the lineage of the breed in three countries. For the novice recipient of such an awesome
dog, I found it completely lacking in real world advice, save for one chapter. I guess I should have bought " ridgebacks for dummies" because this book mostly went over my head. The content was well written, though. The Authors know the breed.

A good book for a tuff breed
Ridgebacks are not easy dogs, and this book helps you understand that.Little things like explaining why your Ridgeback will retrieve a ball once or twice, but then get board unlike many popular canines is very helpful.This is a great book to help a person get to know the breed, but if youalready have a Ridgeback I hope and pray that there is nothing in here thatyou don't already know.I have raised, trained, and have shown twoRidgebacks and I love the breed more than many other breeds I have workedwith.As always the best place to learn about a dog is talking to arespected breeders, trainers, and handlers, but this book is helpful withunderstanding the important background of this great breed.

Very limited overview of the breed
Not the best choice for someone researching the breed or living with their first ridgeback.The entire text needs expansion and updating; sections on training and health matters were completely lacking in any meaningfulcontent.

Great primer for those interested in this breed.
This book was very complete and had lots of good information for the uneducated Rhodesian Ridgeback owner.The pictures and information were all first rate - however somewhat dated.Lots of good info on raising andbreeding ridgebacks too. ... Read more

Book Description
This book offers a reassessment of the political philosophy of the British Idealists, a group of once influential and now neglected nineteenth-century Hegelian philosophers, whose work has been much misunderstood. Peter Nicholson focuses on F. H. Bradley's idea of morality and moral philosophy; T. H. Green's theory of the Common Good, of the social nature of rights, of freedom, and of state interference; and Bernard Bosanquet's notorious theory of the General Will. By examining the arguments offered by the Idealists and by their critics the author is able to penetrate the deep layers of hostile comment laid down by several generations of later writers and to show that these ideas, once properly understood, are not only defensible but interesting and important. ...

Art and Eyebrows
Like many artists, Jack Nicholson has done some hideous things.Like some, he has insisted that they be kept quiet.

After reading this book it will be hard to enjoy him as an actor, but not impossible.One thing which does come through is his absolute devotion to his craft.

And then there's his eyebrows.

He has a natural demonic appearach because he has arched eyebrows.They make him look Satanic and maybe worse...

Enjoy the book!

Jack is a shining star in a world full of mediority
Not much more to be said. Very intelligent, charismatic, immaculate performer. Thanks Jack. Thanks for your inspiration.

Didn't read it, but made it pretty
I designed the interior of this book, and did the 16 page inserts. I think Jack is great, and felt honored working on this project. I haven't read the book, though. I have too much respect for him as an actor and don't want toknow what he's like offscreen.

Too many mistakes and incorrect info in this book
In this book the author states that he interviewed me, included quotes as well.I never met nor talked with Mr. Thompson, even though he writes that he interviewed me in my "Palm Beach home". I've never lived inPalm Beach.He claims to have talked with my father.That meeting nevertook place.Alas, if this part of the book was fiction, where's thecredibility to prove that the rest is true?Too many "confidentialsources".Using that as a crutch you can say anything about anyone. I know the many truths in Jack Nicholsons real story and from what I cantell, Peter Thompson has fallen short on uncovering and perhaps evenknowing what the truth is.By the way, biologically speaking, I am Mr.Nicholson's half sister. ...
