Product Description
Chapters: Harvest Records, Morrissey - Mullen, the Fourth Way, the Greatest Show on Earth. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 23. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Harvest Records was a record label created by EMI in 1969 to promote progressive rock music and to compete with Philips' Vertigo and Decca's Deram labels, initially under the direction of Malcolm Jones and Norman Smith. Harvest was distributed in North America by EMI's US arm, Capitol Records. With a launch release by The Edgar Broughton Band, it was home to such classic artists as Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, The Move, Electric Light Orchestra, Barclay James Harvest, Climax Blues Band, Kevin Ayers and Little River Band; Harvest also promoted more experimental styles of music. In addition, Harvest was the European licensee for the American label Blue Thumb Records from 1969 to 1971. Harvest Records' focus changed slightly as the 1970s drew to a close, beginning with the signing of post-punk groups Wire, The Saints and The Banned. New Wave artists Thomas Dolby and Duran Duran released their debut albums on the label in North America. Iron Maiden's first three albums were also released in the US by Harvest Records. Pink Floyd switched to EMI after the release of The Final Cut in 1983. In the US, Capitol initially treated Harvest as a separate label that they expected big sales from. After only a few issues, they had few sales to show for their effort and consequently only issued a few Harvest releases and numbered them within their standard Capitol LP series (mostly using Harvest for Pink Floyd releases). After this initial short-lived series, Capitol passed on most of the UK Harvest artists. In 1975, Harvest began a reissue sub-label named Harvest Heritage. This new label largely compiled material that had been previously releas...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=202323 ... Read more

Clear and to the point
I have been a follower of the Fourth Way ideas for the past twenty years, and during that time I have read almost everything. Once in a while I have had the "good fortune" of meeting such pearl of wisdom as this book. The author treats each topic, and all of then are really related with the inner work of change, with clarity and the experience of someone not just "explaining" the concepts. He speaks (that was my feeling) from the point of view of someone who has not only practiced what he talks about, but more importantly, who have become the words, wich, after all is the goal of every true way.
Since finding this book I went looking for his other works, bought then and to my soul happyness, they were all like that: Precise, practical, clear and very human. Go for it. You will never regret.

Great if you're already in the cult, otherwise, beware
All of the reviewers of this book (except for yours truly), as well as both of the "editorial reviewers," are (or, as in the case of Ms. Zannos, were) members of the Fellowship of Friends, the cult of which Mr. Haven had once been designated second in command by its founder, Robert Burton (no longer the case; he's been demoted).Its approach to the Fourth Way is highly idiosyncratic at best, a caricature of an abusive "New Age cult" at worst.Prospective purchasers would do well to do a little research on the Fellowship of Friends to determine whether they suppose a leader of such an organization is well qualified to be a spiritual guide.(Also, consider whether you really think "eternity" is a "prize," like a gimcrack in a Cracker Jack box.) Caveat emptor.

If Ouspensky is too dry then give this one a try
If you find the writing style of Ouspensky to be difficult
to follow then this is the book for you.The writing is
very easy to follow and is more germane to the unique
obstacles people face in today's modern world.This is the
book I give to friends who are interested in the 4th way
as I have found that they say Ouspensky is too hard to
understand.

An original and deep book
Mr. Haven expression of the Fourth Way qualifies it for inclusion with the great exponents of that tradition in this century: Gurdjieff, Ouspensky, Collin and Nicoll. I am grateful that I found this book.

A very practical book
"The Prize is Eternity" by Girard Haven is about the practical work of the Fourth Way. "Practical" means something more than physical or mental exercises that the reader can attempt in the privacy of his or her own study. In these pages, Haven speaks about the difficult, day-to-day work to awaken from the sleep in which we are all immersed. Practical means both beginning to see things as they are and attempting to act from what one sees. Practical also means distinguishing between the efforts that one is capable of making by oneself and the line beyond which one cannot pass without outside assistance. The Fourth Way is a teaching of spiritual development ... brought to the West in the early part of this century by George Gurdjieff and Peter Ouspensky. ... It can be said that the Fourth Way, more than any other system of knowledge known to us in modern times, stresses the importance of work on being. It is not enough to know the words, one must strive to be the words... ... Read more

An Early Allegory by E J Gold
This book later got republished as THE GABRIEL PAPERS.The later version has a few extra stories and some revisions, but the books are essentially the same.The book has some subtleties about the Sufi path and the 4th way embedded within it.The story is designed to create an "emotional shock" to take information that has been learned intellectually within the 4th way as a system (like the writings of Ouspensky, THE FOURTH WAY and IN SEARCH OF THE MIRACULOUS) and help one to feel its truth on another level.There is also some flavor of the kind of interactions that happen between teacher and student within this kind of work.The main drawback of the book is that it should not be the first book about the 4th way that a person should read.It needs a person to already be intellectually familiar with the ideas so that the information can then be felt emotionally.I think that someone who read this book as the first 4th way book would miss a lot of what is behind the story.E J Gold is one of the more interesting teachers within the 4th way tradition.I feel that he really understands what he teaches and that a person could grow a lot from working with the ideas.I still give this book five stars, even though it is less polished than the later GABRIEL PAPERS and even though it is not a good first book on the subject. ...

Product Description
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.
