The book of the blood
This is the ultimate power register of the ruling classes. Simply, this book charts the ruling Royal and Princely houses of Europe. Traditionally considered the last word in matters of succession, protocol, and marriage. Known for it's accuracy and the publisher's inability to be bribed or pressured in matters of inclusion or exclusion. The rock against which pretenders are wrecked. Not for the ...

"A Typically British Scandal--politics, sex, vice, espionage, and hypocrisy" (p. 188)
I made the mistake of beginning this book after 9:00 P.M. I was still reading tenaciously when dawn broke, and I reluctantly had to put it down from sheer exhaustion. Faster paced than any novel, this gripping story, ripped from the headlines of the 1960s, tells how an affable, gregarious, handsome, and unconventional man, who was both a gifted osteopath and a talented artist, and who had many ...

Entertaining and Informative
I was assigned this book as supplementary reading for my AP government class, and while some of my friends didn't like it, I loved and am now re-reading it. The authors admit that their intent was 1) to make people see the Bill of Rights as more than a legal document, but a guideline created by framers who had no idea how different the nation would be centuries later, and 2) to make people think. ...

This great collection of classic poetry was edited by her daughter, Caroline Kennedy. Caroline wrote a forward and an introduction to each chapter of the poetry and in her writings you achieve a depth of knowledge about Jacqueline Kennedy and an appreciation ...
A Patriot's Handbook : Songs, Poems, Stories, and Speeches Celebrating the Land We Love

Caroline Kennedy, 2005
Patriotism, not mindlessness
A Patriot's Handbook celebrates many of the finest moments in American history. Contrary to what a few reviewers have said, however, this is not a mere collection of flag-waving sound-bites. I honestly wonder if they read the same book I did. The version I had contained portions from The Jungle, talking about the unfairness of certain economic systems in place at the time. The version I had ...

This is the greatest gift I could ever give... It has changed me
After reading the first installment (Best loved poems of JKO), I shared many of my favorites with my niece who's barely 10 yrs old. She fell in love with "Annabel Lee" by the great EAP. I was so intrigued by her interest. I then ordered a copy of "A Family of Poems", 2 copiesfor she and I. The illustrations are magical as well as the words the depict them. I have found such pleasure in ...

Excellent... if you're the right audience.
This book is written by a couple of lawyers who specialize in privacy issues. It is essentially a collection of thoughly researched court cases with added commentary from the authors. As such, it reads like...well... a collection of court cases. A copy was originally lent to me by a very well-read and intelligent friend of mine who considered it overly dry. I, on the other hand, loved it. It's ...

Excellent book
This is a well-written, fascinating study of a small Christian college and the changes it has endured over its 150 year history. The authors sensitively and honestly examine the social and theological changes that have occurred in this Reformed Dutch church institution of higher education. Like most Christian colleges founded in the U.S. in the 1800's (such as many Methodist, Presbyterian, and ...

reviewed by Johanna Granville, Clemson University, Clemson, SC USA Caroline Kennedy-Pipe's monograph, Stalin's Cold War: Soviet Strategies in Europe, 1943 to 1956 focuses on the motives and decisions of one leader (Joseph Stalin), rather than with the outcomes or implementation of previously made decisions by people or classes of people.

my constant companion
I had heard that Senator Byrd of W. Virginia kept a copy of the US Constitution in his pocket. I was not sure where to get one also. I found it here at Amazon, and for a good price as well. I use to show what is actually written, if someone is in doubt. And it gives a nice, brief explanation of the meanings behind the words. I am getting a copy for all of my grown children. A very good edition.

Just A Thought In Todays 213-212 House Energy Vote July 31 2008
I bought this book and it's a nice read and very historical, of course. I just wanted to put it in context today. 07/31/08 The house voted 213-212 not to extend the session. The main reason it was brought up was to debate the issue of our nations energy future One vote mattered to keep Congress in session, it voted against that debate. I wonder if that can be pinpointed to a single Representative ...

A must-have book for Sovietology's students
A very comprehensive and insightful book on Soviet Union as well as Russia's foreign policy. People who are interested in the origin of Soviet foreign policy-making but not familiar with it in detail should read this book as a starter. This book offers not only a well-ordered historic events sequence, but also an insight of how historic study of foreign policy could be integrated with theoretical ...

Inspirational
This book is a compilation of short biographies of the winners of the Profile in Courage Award. It is a group effort, being the work of numerous historians and writers. I found these stories inspiring because many of them illuminate political leaders who took actions they knew would be detrimental to their careers. Yes, most of the award winners have been on the liberal side, but personally I ...
