U.s. Armed Forces Nuclear, Biological And Chemical Survival Manual20 reviews
John Boswell

Basic Books, 2003

Vital Info
As someone who served in the Army, I have had plenty of NBC training and can say that this book is something that everyone should take the time to read. In fact I learned even more from this book because it is presented in a way that anyone can understand, and it is targeted for use by the civilian population. READ IT, it may save your life one day.

John Boswell

University Of Chicago Press, 2005

I enjoy this..
I enjoy this..It's very good and phenomenal in that it's the first work of it's kind really. It covers the Greeks to Aquinas. John Boswell is a cutie. This has a wonderfully attractive cover, as well as the original one which is no longer shown of a second-century mosaic. This covers the beginning of the Christian era to the fourteenth century. It is extensive with many footnotes..I like it, ...

John Boswell, Lenore Skenazy

Broadway, 2004

Just Like My Family Christmases...Only Funny!
I thought this was such a great idea for a book, but I wasn't sure how it would sound to actually sing the songs. If you can get through them without laughing, you're doing better than I did! Really, Really fun for the whole...Okay, for MOST of the family! I saw a concert in New York that featured opera singers singing these songs, and that convinced me to buy the book for my family sing ...

Couldn't have passed my Art Content Praxis without this book!!!
I bought this book to review for the Art Content Praxis. It's been about 20 years since my art history classes so I definitely needed a refresher. Although, I did remember a lot and reviewed other books, this book put me over the top. It's fast paced and easy to read! Short highlights to remind you of things you may have forgot and adds what you may have missed. 		  
  







  
  
The Kindness of Strangers: The Abandonment of Children in Western Europe from Late Antiquity to the ...7 reviews
John Boswell

University Of Chicago Press, 1998

The Strangeness of Times Past
If you read thsi book at all, read it slowly and thoughtfully. Don't rush to assume that it reveals an anti-Catholic bias, as other reviewers have, and don't facilely dismiss the author's theses about long-term trends of illegitimacy, child abandonment, and infanticide being in lock-step with the structures of the Christian religion. Boswell is a very thorough scholar; before you challenge his ... 		  
  







  
  
Same-Sex Unions in Premodern Europe22 reviews
John Boswell

Vintage, 1995

Of Boswell, Timidity and Denial anent History,
Messrs.: Some reviewers' titles, when combined with their texts, are remarkably suggestive of Freudian slips with regard to what is seemingly in their respective minds, and reveal where their thoughts and inhibitions lie. Part of this is exposed by an attendant desire to promote whatever they define as a sort of self-supposed or imagined world standard for an amorphous mythical "tradition," ...

You'll find ideas that can be used in any industry
I hadn't known too much about David Novak, chairman and CEO of Yum! Brands, the home to KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Long John Silver's, and A& W All American Food . . . that's no longer the case, though, since I've devoured THE EDUCATION OF AN ACCIDENTAL CEO, the inspirational book he wrote with John Boswell. Almost every page had an idea that could be implemented not just in the food ...

Main Street Books, 1996

This book will outlast a jar of mayonnaise
A "how to" book may seem an unlikely choice for a review submitted with the sole intent of winning 100 bucks of Amazon books credit. However, you must love books and maybe have even thought about writing one, otherwise you would not have landed here. Push your virtual shopping cart to the aisle marked "Boswell" and grab this book.
