50 Spiritual Classics captures the diversity of life journeys that span centuries; continents; spiritual traditions and secular beliefs: from the historical The Book of Chuang Tzu to modern insight from the Kabbalah; from Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet to Eckhart Tolle's recent The Power of Now. The first and only bite-sized guide to the very best in spiritual writing; this one-of-a-kind collection includes personal memoirs and complelling biographies of such diverse figures as Gandhi; Malcolm X and Black Elk; Eastern philosophers and gurus including Krishnamurti; Yogananda; Chogyam Trungpa and Shunryu Suzuki; and Western saints and mystics such as St. Frances of Assisi; Hermann Hesse and Simone Weil. The last fifteen years have been a golden age in the genre of personal spitirual awakening; with names such as Eckhart Tolle; Neale Donald Walsch and James Redfield breathing new life into the literature. 50 Spiritual Classics showcases these newer works alongside traditional classics such as St Augustine's Confessions and Teresa of Avila's Interior Castle; and conveys the great variety of spiritual experience. In its commentaries of both the conventional classics as well as new writings destined to endure; 50 Spiritual Classics makes universal the human spiritual experience and will inspire spiritual seekers everywhere to begin their own adventure.

If this book were only a reproduction of these plates; it would be a bargain; but Dempsey's commentary provides a great deal of insight placing the plates in context and identifying anomolies and commonalities. I can only add that I have no idea how a set of contemporary plates will illustrate the professional or mercenary aspects of the army!?0 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Excellent but lacks in-depth analysis of professionalism.By A CustomerI found it an excellent book but it really lacks specifically an in-depth analyses of the mercenary and professional aspect of Napoleon's Army.2 of 4 people found the following review helpful. A real uniform research.By Eman M. VovsiThis is the way how a book about the hisory of military uniform should be written! We'd got so many of fake ones - and this one is a real treasure! There is only a thing - the author states that there is no material containing Hussars regiments which has been written and put together in one volume. I would like to reffer to the great L. Fallou's work "Notre Hussards"; published in 1902 in Paris that pretty much covers the subject of the hussars' development starting from the very first regiments of the XVII century.
