1,001 Reasons to Love America (1,001 Reasons to Love)

1 review
Hubert Pedroli, Mary Tiegreen

Harry N. Abrams, 2004

A positive spin
Just the sort of title that publishers love, so much so that Stewart, Tabori & Chang have trademarked the words '1,001 reasons to love...' so expect to see more of these books. The six chapters, Land of the Free, American Experience, From Sea to Shining Sea, Made in America and the American Dream, use the basic reason text but frequently expand it into detailed explanations and additional ...

Beacon Press, 1985

Do not emancipate yourself without it!
I would like remind readers that this book is the first volume of the two that constitute "The Theory of Communicative Action" (the second volume has as subtitle "Lifeworld and System - A Critique of Functionalist Reason"). The first volume was published in English in 1984, while the second volume appeared in 1987. The two volumes are not independent books and should be read as a single book. ...

A Baseball Book Like No Other
On P. 205 of 1001 Reasons To Love Baseball, Danny Peary and MaryTiegreen list 17 classic books which have become iconic reverences to baseball. They could have included one more - their own magical, wondrous, can't put it down adoration of the game. 1001 Reasons to Love Baseball is different from any other baseball book I've ever seen. I found myself not just reading it but carrying it ...

1,001 Reasons to love this book!
I just got this book from Amazon thanks to Amazon's speedy delivery which I much appreciate. The book is small but heavy. It is full of great photographs of all breeds. It even has the famous 9/11 Golden Retriever dog being scaffolded from one area of the wreckage to another. I can tell already that this is going to be one of my favorite dog books!

Not just for horse lovers
I thought I knew all the reasons to love horses but Sheri and Mary have catalogued just a few more (1001 to be exact). The appeal of this book is not limited to horse lovers,though. Each page is a work of art. The photographs are captivating. The reasons are compelling. The pages are each pulled together with beautiful illustrations and borders. 1001 Reasons to Love Horses has given me the ...

Great Book, Great Gift!
I am often searching for gifts for those men in my life who don't seem to want for anything I could buy. But there I was in Barnes & Noble where this great new golf book was being featured. Although not a golfer myself, I thought the design and photograph's were terrific. I immediately bought one for my brother-in law and another for a friend, both who are avid golfer's and happen to share the ...

Practical Reason (Philosophical Papers, Volume 1)
Georg Henrik Von Wright

Cornell Univ Pr, 1984

In this volume, Professor Von Wright explores a philosophical area that he has made peculiarly his own: deontic logic, the name he coined in 1951 for the logical study of action, normative concepts, and discourse. The present collection is in large part devoted to an important new essay entitled "Norms, Truth, and Logic," in which the author presents what he hopes will be his final thoughts on the controversies surrounding the subject.
