Scholarly content with coffee table production value
This is a beautiful book, richly illustrated, so much that it seems at first glance like it belongs in the category of "coffee table" books, with nice pictures but shallow detail. Not so. The illustrations are magnificently assembled and well presented, but they accompany masterful information content. The social, political, and technological backgrounds in which the galley and galleon (and ...

One of our FAVORITES!
A MUST for all children's libraries! I bought this book for my now 4-year-old when she was 18-months. She loved it then and has continued to enjoy it to this day. Now that she's a preschooler, she enjoys "acting it out." My 21-month-old has loved this book since she was around 8-months-old and she's very picky, but has always especially enjoyed books with pictures of kids and babies. I can ...

X-Men: The Complete Age of Apocalypse Epic, Book 2

Marvel Comics, 2005

Il più drammatico "What if...?" degli Uomini X
Premetto che considero una piaga, per il fumetto popolare americano, l'abuso di statagemmi (o meglio mezzucci) narrativi quali universi paralleli, viaggi nel tempo e stravaganze di tal fatta. Questi espedienti ammorbano la vita degli X Men sin dai tempi di Dyas of Future Past, dove però Claremont e Byrne l'avevano risolta con classe e discrezione. Anche il prologo dell'Era di Apocalisse risulta ...

John Francis Noll, Lester J. Fallon

Kessinger Publishing, LLC, 2005

Fr. Smith's dialogue of truth
This terrific book has been in print for over 80 years, and after reading it one understands why "Father Smith Instructs Jackson" has sold over 2 million copies. In dialogue form, Fr. Smith guides a curious, intelligent, but somewhat agnostic inquirer to understand the truth of the Catholic faith. Since it's original printing, it has been revised to incorporate the teachings of the Second ...

The Spanish Borderlands Frontier, 1513-1821 (Histories of the American Frontier)

4 reviews
John Francis Bannon

University of New Mexico Press, 1974

Excellent Overview of the History of the American Southwest
Originally published by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston in 1970, I first read Father Bannon's history of "The Spanish Borderlands Frontier" while in graduate school in 1980. I recently reread it to see if it still offered a useful overview of the subject. It does, despite the publication of David J. Weber's excellent "The Spanish Frontier in North America" (Yale University Press, 1992), which covers ...

Texas A&M University Press, 1995

This is the way it was
Guilmartin has written an excellent book that accurately describes what happened at Koh Tang Island. As a pilot that was there, I find the book to be a straight forward account of both the good and the bad. He has taken time to research the battle from both the Air Force and the Marine point of view. Using interviews from people who were there, sorting out the contradictions and fog of war. ...

Black Farmers in America

University Press of Kentucky, 2006

A Masterpiece: Unsurpassed photography done with great integrity.
John Ficara, a well respected photojournalist, undertook this ambitious documentary project on his own. With a world filled with "celebrity" journalisim, Ficara devoted a major period of time to document the plight of Black Farmers in America. Not done with pity or cheap shots, Ficara brought us a book with integrity, remarkably strong images, and an understanding of an issue overlooked by the ...
