Unabashedly Sentimental -- Delightful
I guess that I'm getting old. In my mind the Dodgers still belong in Brooklyn. And all the other teams should be where they started. The Cubs, and a very few others are where they belong. Staying in one place gives one a sense of history, a sense of belonging, a sense of family. It's been sixty years and more since Andy Pafko made his Cubs debute before a crowd of 314 fans. What's he doing ...

A Classy Book about a Classy Ballplayer
It is an honor to be the first person to review this excellent book about the life of Billy Williams. In an age of baseball books called Vindicated and stories of steroids and other sordid aspects of the game it is refreshing to read this book about a player who exemplified class and a love for the game of baseball and a love for one woman his entire adult life. I am a lifelong Cubs fan and I ...

Takeovers, Restructuring, and Corporate Governance (4th Edition) (Prentice Hall Finance Series)

J. Fred Weston, Mark L. Mitchell, ...

Prentice Hall, 2003

Solid text to introduce this topic - readable and helpful
The fourth edition came out in 2003 and I am not familiar with earlier editions. In my view, this is a very good text. In its nearly 700 pages, it provides a solid and comprehensive overview of this interesting and important topic. Obviously, no textbook can be both a survey of the topic and provide complete coverage of every topic. This book goes deep enough that students being introduced to ...

Blackwell Publishers, 1965

Excellent Single-Volume Introduction to Old English
This is not the best reader, the best grammar, or the best primer, but if you're looking to use just *one* introductory book before tackling longer readings with a dictionary, Mitchell and Robinson have created a fantastic resource. Work through and memorise the basic inflections as outlined in the introduction, then read up on the basic syntax, and then jump into the eighteen readings while ...

China Background
I haven't read this book but have read several others by Nick Lardy and studied with him at Yale. I disagee with several reviewers who characterize Nick and his colleagues as ignorant about China and are simply imposing a western view. Nick was studying China and the economy (in Chinese) long before it was a popular subject and is intimately familiar with the country's economy. In a country where ...

Beowulf: An Edition

1 review

Wiley-Blackwell, 2006

Scholarly, great but not for the first time reader
Great extensive study of a classic epic. Extensive footnotes on a line by line basis make the translation and interpretation of the text easier and more vivid. For example line 1 "HWAET!", many scholars see this word as part of the metrical dip of 1. I and give it no more accent than a word like 'Now" at the beginning of a modern narrative 'Now we have heard...'. However Hwaet is found at ...

The Muscle Energy Manual - A Must
This manual, one of a series of three, is, like the entire series, an example of scholarly work usually not encountered with many other manuals or textbooks that deal with an individual manual medicine technique or a compilation thereof. The organization of the series is excellent, well and insightfully written, and superbly illustrated. It serves equally as a reference text, instruction ...

Gale Sayers; Fred Mitchell

Triumph Books, 2007

EVERY FOOTBALL FAN OF ANY AGE NEEDS THIS BOOK
Wow !! This is the best football book I have read in 20 years, and I have read a lot of them. It is so refreshing to hear the truth from a great hall of Fame player about today's spoiled players. Gale Sayers never had to come off the field to catch his breath after every long run he made like the 2007 NFL running back. He is now a huge success in the business world, so every high school and ...
