From the Back Cover

The universal appeal of Charles Peguy (1873-1914) has made him one of France's best-loved poets. His influence has also caused a gentle but unmistakable shift in twentieth-century Catholic thought, leaving a legacy that continues in such writers as Bernanos, Marcel, Guardini, de Lubac, and Balthasar. In The Portal of the Mystery of Hope Peguy offers a comprehensive theology ordered around the often-neglected second theological virtue, which is incarnated in his celebrated image of the "little girl Hope". As the first critical edition of Peguy's poetry to appear in English, this volume also contains a biographical chronology, a bibliography, and a host of notes that situate the poem in the context of Peguy's life.

This ingenious work, a poetic narration in the voice of God the Father, leads you into a meditation on the three virtues of Faith, Hope, & Charity with "the little girl Hope, born on Christmas Day" emerging as the "one flame that pierces the eternal shadows." Along the way, Peguy encompasses many themes: fatherhood, childhood, the beauty of work, the beauty of sleep. He closes with the imagery of the Prodigal Son, and the amazed conclusion that even God, in a sense, dared to hope for our salvation in His fatherly heart.I'm afraid of saying more, in as much as it is impossible to do justice to this work, and I'm afraid of making it appear saccharine, which it is not. It's a work of wonder and consolation, penned by a genius, whose love of his native Lorraine and France is mingled almost inextricably with his desire for his eternal homeland.Suffice it to say that I return to this book every spring during Holy Week, and the freshess of Peguy's vision always affects me.If you have enjoyed Francois Mauriac, or C.S. Lewis' "Suprised By Joy" or "The Weight of Glory," you'll love this.

This book is written in a cadence that is meant to mesmerize you... back to your childhood, back to all that is innocent and pure. It may seem repetitive and slow at first, but stick with it: it builds to a beautiful crescendo that doesn't disappoint. It will open your heart and fill it with love.

What a gift we have in Charles Peguy. Exceedingly poignant view of matters of the faith, personal joy and suffering. A reminder of what Hope really is.

Certain lines are "classic" while others seem repetitive and are not as enthusiastically received. It may be one of those books that never really gets finished.

great book

I was a little underwhelmed. I'm not Harold Bloom or anything but I do know when I am reading something great. This wasn't it. I thought it rather like reading a rough draft or pages out of a diary. In my opinion, our dear little Hope would have been much better served by an " epic " half as long. I shall stick with Gerard Manley Hopkins thank you very much.

A prefatory Note: This review is a little unusual. I wrote it years ago for a weblog, wherein I was discussing New Age texts and New Age ideology. And the need for a Christian response.I also wrote it very spontaneously. For it had HIT me with incredible power ...Rather than rewriting it now and lose the spontaneous quality, I am only going to shorten it somewhat, with the most minimal revision, leaving the original, unusual style and many New Age references intact:"Hardly more than 24 hours ago, as I write these words, I started to read The Portal of the Mystery of Hope. Started to read, knowing almost nothing about the book or its author, the French Catholic poet Charles Péguy. Now having finished it, a day later, I am reeling ...What can I say? This is perhaps a book that should not be 'reviewed' at all, till one has read it ten or even twenty times ... One senses that much, so very much resides within ...The work of years, perhaps to excavate and that one cannot competently comment on, until much more is fathomed. But still my heart wants to record my first impressions ...My heart wants to proclaim, however inadequate my proclamation ...What do I say of your work, Charles Péguy? A work of profound, profound, profound and noble heart. A work by a man I know almost nothing about, save that he was evidently so very, very human ...A work covering so many varied themes ... from the glories of nature to the wisdom of children to the esoteric healing Power of the Night. Of the Mystery of Mary, Mother of God ... Of the Mystery of France, 'the eldest daughter of the Church' ... Of the tenderness of family - wife and husband, parent and child, or of the JOY of being truly NATURAL and CREATURELY ...All of this and much, much more is expressed in the form of long monologue, by which a Franciscan Nun is teaching the young Joan of Arc. But as meaningful as all these things undoubtedly are, in invoking them, I only scratch the surface of this authentic masterpiece.How to go deeper, than these surfaces, albeit pregnant surfaces? What is underneath them all? What is underneath them all, that stirred me like no book has stirred me for years? That brought wetness to my eyes? A stab. I can only take a little stab at it.Human-ness, profound tender, tender human-ness. Human, creaturely naturalness. The wonder of the flesh that the angels will never know ... But not only human-ness, but knowing that this humanness is the very humanness of Christ ... who learned to FEEL what neither God nor angel had ever felt before.All these disembodied spiritualities that I have touched on in this weblog ... A Course in Miracles ... The Power of Now ... Alice Bailey ...Here we have the majestic message that Christ came to bring us something so very, very different to 'spirituality without a body' (as Richard Moss has called the Course in Miracles). (Yes, I know that not all these spiritualities so explicitly negate the body, as does the Course in Miracles. I know that some indeed pay a certain sort of attention to the body. But to read you, Charles Péguy, is - well, for me, at any rate - to realise how - by comparison - how disembodied, how detached from nature, they truly are. You are so NATURAL, Monsieur Péguy, in the most joyous, wholesome sense of that word).The Franciscan Nun tells young Joan ..."What those that are carnal lack, as we know, is being pure.But what we ought to know is that those that are pure lack being carnal....The angels are certainly pure, but they aren't the least bit carnal.They have no idea what it is to have a body, TO BE a body.They have no idea what it is to be a poor creauture.A carnal creature.A body kneaded from the clay of the earth.The carnal earth.They don't understand this mysterious bond, this created bond,Infinitely mysterious,Between the soul and the body....This my child is what the angels do not understand.I mean to say, that this is what they haven't experienced.What it is to have this body; to have this bond with this body; to be this body,To have this bond with the earth, with this earth, to be this earth, clay and dust, ash and the mud of the earth,THE VERY BODY OF JESUS....Jesus Christ did not come to tell us tales.You see he didn't make this voyage of coming to the earth,A great voyage between you and me(And he was so comfortable where he was.)(Before coming.He didn't have all our worries.)He didn't make this voyage of descending to the earthTo come recount anecdotes for us....His incarnation, which is really his assumption of the flesh.His taking on of flesh and of the carnal, his taking on of man and his being placed on the cross and his being placed in the tomb,His in-carnal-ation and his agony....Because Jesus Christ has become our carnal brother...It is to us the weak, that he was given.He depends on us, weak and carnal,To bring to life and to nourish and to keep alive in time...To keep alive the words of life,To nourish with our blood, with our flesh, with our heartThe words which without us would collapse fleshless.To grant (it's incredible)to grant to the eternal words,In addition like a second eternity,A temporal and carnal eternity, an eternity of flesh and of blood...A worldly eternity....[Jesus Christ who invented] a new justice. A justice of love. A justice of Hope."Yes, the Christian Mystery is at the core of all the Nun is teaching Joan.... a towering understanding of the Christian MysteryLeading to a goal which is not a disembodied eternity, leading to a goal which constitutes no Luciferic short-cut ... but again to:"a second eternity,A temporal and carnal eternity, an eternity of flesh and of blood...A worldly eternity."A Second Kind of Eternity!Wherein Eternity Marries Nature. (Nature becomes Supernatural, as in the administering of Holy Communion).Yes, again, the Christian Mystery is at the core of all the Nun is teaching Joan.But how Péguy delineates not only the core, but so many outer facets to the core, so many expressions of Humanity and Nature, Being Redeemed ...To take but one single further example, how this nun comprehends the poignancy of human fatherhood:"Children are never the ones who do the work.no one ever works except for children.It's never the child who goes to the field, who tills and who sows, and who reaps and who harvests the grapes and who trims the vine and who fells the trees and who cuts the wood.For winter.To warm the house in winter.But would the father have the heart to work if he didn't have his children?And in the winter when he works hard in the forest?With his billhook and his saw and with his felling axe and with his hand axe.In the icy forest.In winter when the snakes sleep in the woods because they're frozen.And when a bitter North wind blows.That cuts to his bones.That passes through each of his limbs.And he's completely numb and his teeth are chattering.And the frost makes icicles in his beard.All of a sudden he thinks about his wife who stayed at home.About his wife who is such a good homemaker.Whose husband he is before God.And about his children who are peaceful and safe at home...They pass before his eyes, in a flash before his mind's eye, before his soul's eye.They live in his memory and in his heart and in his soul and in his soul's eye.They live in his gaze.In a flash he sees his three children playing and laughing in front of the fire.His three children, two boys and a girl.Whose father he is before God...It's right that the father die before the children.He thinks about them, by God's grace, and immediately the blood rushes to his heart.And warms him so...The bitter north wind in the forest.Has just now frozen two big tears that fell stupidly upon his cheeks.In the sunken furrows of his cheeks, and were just swallowed by his bushy beard.Like two icicles.There he is laughing and ashamed.Laughing to himself and ashamed both inwardly and outwardlyAnd even laughing out loud.Because it is sweet and it is shameful to cry.For a man.So the poor man tries to be discreet.Pretends that he wasn't just crying.People always try to be discreet."And that again, was to sample, but a single example of Péguy's paean to NATURE ... including human nature and the natural beauty of things. Nature in the process of Being Redeemed, of course, and being made whole once more ... Wholesome ... So many more facets of the Mystery of Christ could still be cited here from The Portal of the Mystery of Hope.I have chosen Péguy's paean to fatherhood, again, as but a single instance of the poet's pierced embrace of Human-ness. Humanness on course to Christed Wholesomeness ...True Wholesomeness. Not stuffy pretence of piousness, but the real thing. That real sacred-human quality that enters into us at Holy Communion, for example.O, spiritual seekers outside religion, how once I understood your concerns!I understood you Anthroposophists, who felt the Church was bankrupt in revealing the Mystery of Christ. But here in the twentieth century, is a loyal son of the Church who fathoms the Mystery of Christ and who knows that Christ is Lord of a New Justice ... No longer do I share your despair in the Church!O New Age Friends, so taken with spiritualities that fly into the timeless realm; 'in tune with the infinite'; an eternity, that is not 'a worldly eternity', not a Conjunction of Opposites ... a Conjunction of Opposites that negates neither eternity nor carnal, temporal nature ...How often you New Age Friends have seemed to me to hold the assumption - conscious or not - that anything really valuable can be found within the "Holistic" Sphere.In a really good "Holistic" bookshop ... That there really is not much of spirituality outside this Sphere, which is of real worth...But I doubt that few if any "Holistic" shops, have ever stocked The Portal of the Mystery of Hope.(I might add that I held such assumptions myself, unconsciously for nearly 20 years. The Pope? Catholic Theology? What have they to tell me of anything truly spiritual?)(Good Lord! What arrogance! I who knew nothing at all about the Catholic Mystery!)Today I have come to see such vast and great treasures, beyond the "Holistic " Sphere, never even guessed by so, so many within it. Sometimes however, these treasures are not so accessible to folk who prefer popular faire.Thus at times, I hesitate to recommend to friends great modern Christian writings, whether those of Wotyla, Ratzinger or that anonymous masterpiece, prefaced by Hans Urs von Balthasar:Meditations on the Tarot - because their scholarly style is more demanding than most of the New Age books.Indeed, I have felt a need for literature that is profoundly revelatory of the Christic Mystery, but which is more accessible, without losing profundity.Charles Péguy - you are the answer to a prayer. Your book strikes me as truly quite accessible.How I would like to see your half-forgotten French masterpiece resurrected in the consciousness of the English-speaking world. How I would like to see your book amongst the so-called holistic shelves ... but rather than holistic, I fear these very shelves are far more SELECTIVE than is commonly appreciated.O Charles Péguy, I wonder what I might have thought of you twenty years ago, had I discovered you, perhaps on a bookshelf at Findhorn or by word of mouth along the New Age grapevine ...But of course, all that is but to dream. Because from all my years in New Age circles, I cannot recall an author as tender as natural and human as you, who realized the Way of Christ was to lead us evermore into such tender, natural creaturehood ... into finite, tender flesh ...O Charles Péguy! All this is but a portion of what you have evoked in me these last hours.I realize I hardly do you justice at all. For example, I have said nothing at all of what you say of the little girl HOPE, so surprising to God, or the terrible, terrible freedom, awesome freedom and responsibility God has given us ...But if I serve to encourage any who read this, to hunt down the English translation of your masterpiece, I will be more than happy ...O Charles Péguy! Who were you? What were you? Noble soul, most noble heart who understood the heart of Christ and Christianity and who communicated them with such unfathomable and tender eloquence of HEART ...Who are you? I must find out.

This book would be good if it were not for the embarrassing number of typos and mistakes. I'm fortunate in that I already know a lot of the material that is being presented so I have been able to notice many of the errors, but I'm still concerned that there are many inaccuracies that I am not noticing on topics I'm unfamiliar with.The fact that this is a second edition is even more puzzling. If this is a second edition, how much worse could the errors in the first edition have been? The official website does not have an errata or notes so there's not even a location where you can check to see what is wrong in the book.The errors present are a real shame, because this book could've been quite good. The topics are covered in a sensible order at a good clip and could be quite useful to many a programmer. Unfortunately, with this book, you can never be sure if the material being presented is correct.

This book was quite an interesting read. Though a book of math and physics sounds like it would be boring, I found the text to be pretty engaging. At 688 pages, it’s not the longest technical resource, but the authors manage to pack a good deal in those pages. Of course, there is a lot of math in here, but that’s not all. Even some random topics like mazes and game theory pop up near the end. I really did enjoy the book and it seems worthwhile.Some of the areas of focus include even basic number representations, arithmetic, algebra and trigonometry, vectors and calculus, to mass and acceleration, collision detection, force and motion, friction and more. Finally, in the last section, the authors cover some tangential topics like tile-based games, mazes, game theory and AI, even search techniques. Really, a good roster.One of the main reasons I purchased this book, aside from general interest, was to gain some knowledge to apply to a custom physics engine. While that’s still (in my mind) a debatable goal, I do feel like Mathematics & Physics for Programmers has helped, at least with the general concepts.Unfortunately, I did not try to implement any of the equations or pseudo code from the book, so I won’t comment on the accuracy of the code. It’s possible there were errors that I did not notice. I typically don’t base my implementations directly from books. I use the books to understand the big picture, to get a sense of what’s possible, and to understand the vocabulary and terms that I need to search for. Then I’ll find resources online when it comes to writing the code.What I will say, though, is that the text is not as good as the other big 3d math books, specifically 3D Math Primer for Graphics and Game Development by Fletcher Dunn or Mathematics for 3D Game Programming and Computer Graphics by Eric Lengyel. For sure, if you are only buying one or two math books for game development, get either of those first. However, if you are like me and you’ve already read the popular books on the topic, this isn’t such a bad choice as a refresher or to round out your knowledge.

Good instructional material but for me I would have liked to have a text book style problems to solve. xxxx

It lacks depth of content. Basically useless.

This is not a book to read in a weekend, is a technical literature, but succeeds in capturing the need for advanced programdores inicantes and even games.I recommend traveling the fabulous underworld of these sciences are physics and mathematics.

This has to be one of the worst written books for understanding I have ever bought.The author makes explaining simple fractions so complicated even the mathematicallybrilliant students in my class were confused. I could write a page full of negative commentsabout this book, but I think I have captured the essence of this book in my first two sentences.

I picked this book after reading lots of reviews. I wanted a book that covered game physics and could help me reconnect to the math I was using on the job. But this book, while covering every topic I was interested in does a very poor job of explaining what is going on. The author often throws out a complex equation with no explanation of the terms and transforms the equation into a seemingly different variation with all new terms and zero effort to tie them together. The code is too agnostic, and not useful for reading or using. I am back at amazon looking for a better book, this one is to simple for someone versed in the math and lacks the explanations needed to help someone get back up to speed on the subjects. If you had never had a college physics course or taken calculus you would not be able to get anything out of this book at all.

The book is complex. It fails at trying to keep its teachings simple, though I can't program yet so that may be why. However, I'm out of work so I would enjoy getting back the $25 I spent for it. :(

Book Description

By the early 1960s, Jimmy Hoffa had a stranglehold on the presidency of the Teamsters Union. However, his nemesis, Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, was convinced that Hoffa was a corrupt force whose heavy-handed influence over the union threatened the nation. As Attorney General, Kennedy established a “Get Hoffa Squad” that set out to unearth criminal wrongdoing by the labor leader in order to remove him from power. A number of criminal trials in the 1950s and early 1960s resulted in not-guilty verdicts for Hoffa. Matters would finally come to head in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in a climatic, but often overlooked, historical moment chronicled by Maury Nicely in this engrossing book.After a Christmastime 1962 acquittal in Nashville of charges that Hoffa had illegally received funds from a trucking company in exchange for settling a costly strike, it was discovered that several attempts had been made to bribe jurors. Fresh charges of jury tampering in that case were quickly filed against Hoffa and five others. Moved to Chattanooga, the new trial was held before a young, relatively untested federal judge named Frank Wilson. The six-week courtroom conflict would devolve into a virtual slugfest in which the defense team felt was necessary to turn its ire against Wilson, hoping to provoke an error and cause a mistrial. As Nicely shows in vivid detail, Hoffa’s Chattanooga trial became the story of a lone, embattled judge struggling mightily to control a legal proceeding that teetered on the edge of bedlam, threatening to spin out of control. In the end, Hoffa was convicted-an extraordinary change of fortune that presaged his downfall and mysterious disappearance a decade later.In examining how justice prevailed in the face of a battering assault on the judicial system, Hoffa in Tennessee demonstrates how a Chattanooga trail became a crucial tipping point in Jimmy Hoffa’s career, the beginning of the end for a man long perceived as indomitable.
