Carl J. Richard

Harvard University Press, 1994

An American Classic
Richards asserts through this book that the "classics," being the ancient Greco-Roman historical/literary tradition, were the primary influence upon the American Founders through their education and socialization. The Founders' theories of government, their views on human nature, nature, and virtue, were all classical in essence and origin. The classical education of these great men gave them ...

Carl, F. H. Henry

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2003

Should Christianity influence the culture - read this to find out!
An incredibly astute book that challenges fundamentalist Christianity with a weakness in their armor - an inability and unwillingness to address social ills and evil in the world. But that can't be, fundamentalism clearly and correctly identifies the problem with the world is sin and the solution is the saving grace and transforming power of Jesus Christ in the life of an individual. While ...

Georg Buchner

Hill and Wang, 1963

An excellent translation of a genius's work
Buchner, unknown to many readers, stands as one of the great prophets of literature. By predicting future literary movements and historical trends, Buchner stands at the head of some of the greatest literature of the modern world. His influence in the Theater of the Absurd, Existentialism, and the reaction against Hegelian idealism attest to his genius. Considered by many to be much too ...

If your science curriculum is putting your students to sleep, this book will help you jumpstart their interest. There ...

Richard B. McCaslin

University of Arkansas Press, 2007

McCaslin Brings History to Life
Sadly, I was unfamiliar with the works of Richard McCaslin when he contacted me about using my great grandfather's image and war record in this latest book. Since our first contact, I have been impressed by the author's attention to photographic detail and the scope of his knowledge of the War Between the States. My family has long had Captain George Moore's war record, but by recounting it ...

Carl Francese, Richard S. Sorrell

Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company, 1995

Great Book!
This book was written by two of my teachers at college, in Lincroft, NJ @ Brookdale Community College. Carl Francese and Richard Sorrell teach the course "1960's Pop Music" @ Brookdale, and in 1998, they wrote this book for their course, because they could find no genuine college level books about the 1960's Music scene. I had known Richard Sorrell from a previous course and I had mentioned to ...

Zondervan, 1985

Review of set, not specific volume
Let me start by saying that I have owned the full 12-volume set for about a year and use it quite frequently as a resource. To be fair, I have yet to use this particular volume. However, as there seem to be no competent reviews on the set as a whole, I did want to add my impressions of this terrific resource. I can say that I'm very satisfied with my purchase of the 12 volumes in this set. ...
