PRAISE FOR EL DIABLO IN TEXAS
ARISTEO BRITO'S NOVEL IS AN EMOTIONAL JOURNEY. HIS SINCERITY IS OBVIOUS AND HIS IMAGES ARE TRUE PRINTS OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT.I HAVE NOT BEEN SO MOVED BY THE INTENSITY OF A NOVEL IN A LONG TIME. THE PLIGHT AND HEROISISM OF A PEOPLE SO OPPRESSED COULD ONLY BE DESCRIBED SO ELOQUENTLY BY ARISTEO BRITO. I AM ONLY SADDENED THAT I COULD NOT READ IT IN IT'S FIRST EDITION OF SPANISH, BECAUSE I IMAGINE ...

The Two Wings of Catholic Thought: Essays on Fides Et Ratio

2 reviews

Catholic University of America Press, 2003

Orthodoxy on parade
This is an excellent study of John Paul II's difficult encyclical on faith and reason. Most of the contributions deal with the vexed issue of "Christian philosophy," a much disputed topic in the 1930s which has been given new life by our reigning philosopher-pope. Highlights are the fine essays by Avery Cardinal Dulles, placing the current issues in historical context, and the remrkable essay ...

Lamont C. Hempel

Island Press, 1995

A Superb Book
This excellent book looks at the essence of environmental change on a global scale and the institutional responses required to manage it. While governance continues to be accutely territorial and splintered, the extent of environmental problems is increasingly transboundary. This book, while very interdisciplinary, is firmly grounded in political theory and applied policy analysis. Dr. Hempel ...

Dog Rock

1 review
David Foster

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1985

comic wit and crime thriller
One of the really good Foster novels, along with Moonlite, but written with less scientific information than many others and a slightly more relaxed and overtly comic posture. Like Dylan Thomas's Under Milkwood, Dog Rock is really a portrait of a typical isolated country town. Who better than an outsider, an eccentric postman to notice things and turn his skills and intelligence to solving a ...

Entry Way Publishing, 2007

Doctor Dave's Dragon Tales
What I liked most about Doctor Dave's Dragon Tales is that you can stop the book at almost any place and pick it up again and it flows so well that you never have to remember what happened last. I taught Kindergarten for several years and was always looking for something to read to the children. This book is perfect. The characters are colorful and lively. I think children can relate easily ...

David Foster

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1988

a story of migration, education and colonial life
This is a bigger book than it might appear. It is written with dense detail and a blunt, comic style, in language closer to Billy Connolly than Somerset Maugham. It encapsulates a story of displacement,in cross-section the story of colonial life in Australia, with its oddities and anomalies amplified to highlight the politics of the underdog in the formation of the nation. The descriptions of ...
