Dick Enberg

Sports Publishing LLC, 2004

Oh, My! This is a GREAT book!
This is a fascinating book, and makes a wonderful Christmas gift. The story of Dick Enberg's life is inspirational, well-written, and a page-turner. And most important, for people like me - you do not have to be a sports fan to enjoy reading this. Anyone can appreciate the stories, from Enberg's insightful view of his humble Michigan childhood to his ardent dedication to his challenging craft. ...

First Wave Publishing, 2006

Awesome Awesome book
I bought two of these books. One for my wife (and me too) and one for my best friend's familt that goes to San Jose Sharks games with us. My wife is already quoting things I didn't know. The other family loves it as well. Plus it's compact, so you can stick it in your back pocket and bring it to the game or have it on the coffee table next to the TV watching the game. Great book.

Flight of the Romanovs

2 reviews
John Curtis Perry, Constantine Pleshakov

Konecky & Konecky, 2002

Fascinating story of the "other" Romanovs
As a history fan I am of course familiar with the tragic tale of the fall of the Romanovs and the killings of Nicholas and Alexandra and their children. And of course I was aware that the Romanovs were quite a sprawling family, with lots of Grand Dukes and Duchesses, but I did not know a great deal about these individuals, who are all equally fascinating in their own right - and often even more ...

Classic Rock Albums: The Who: Meaty, Beaty, Big And Bouncy

John Perry

Schirmer Books, 1998

Most comical Who book I've ever read. Excellent book.
Excellent book, and very funny. Most Who books are so serious. Not a all like The Who I know. The chapter on 'I'm a Boy', and the stuff about Zeppelin, I couldn't stop laughing. Dave Marsh's 'Before I Get Old' is very thorough, but it's a bit dry. You can tell Meaty, Beaty, Big & Bouncy is written by a musician by the way the author conveys the feel of the music. Tells you more about ...

Advanced C Programming by Example

John W. Perry

International Thomson Publishing Services, 1998

A must-have book!
I've got a few C-programming books, but this is the one that I love best of all. It is a gem of a book that resonates with simple, crystal-clear explanations on topics so seemingly difficult to understand in the classic book by Kernighan and Ritchie. I would recommend using these two books together. What makes this book even more entertaining and readable is that Perry is not afraid to lay ...

John, The Airport Kid: A Magical Adventure

John Perry Jopling and Hazel Joan Jopling

BookSurge Publishing, 2007

A charming tale of passage
I've read "...The Airport Kid" and thoroughly enjoyed its message of passage from childhood to young adult in a simpler and more innocent era. The daily and life-changing experiences transpiring take the boy to young man with the help of his "friends", the flying machines and their pilots. A true love of flying and its characters is conveyed and we know at the end of the story that John will be ...

Perry has written one of the most concise summaries of the influences of power struggles, financial disaster and creative conflict on the Stones. Perry explores the history behind each track, often giving references to the bootlegged outtakes Stones fans crave.He also tells the ...

7 Reece Mews: Francis Bacon's Studio

Thames & Hudson, 2001

'Finding Order in Chaos': The Creative Space of Francis Bacon
Views of the studio at 7 Reece Mews in South Kensington, London, where Francis Bacon spent the last thirty years of his life from 1961 - 1992, inform us of many aspects of Bacon's life and art. The studio is notorious among artists' studios in that it is nearly non-navigable, so strew are the walls and floors and easels with the memorabilia and photos, drawings and articles that ultimately ...

University Press of Mississippi (Trd), 1989

The Catalog of An Important and Historic Exhibition
African-American folk art, and more specifically the twenty African-American folk artists of this book, were the subject of a large traveling exhibition which began at The Corcoran Gallery in Washington, and traveled across the country for the next 15 months, in 1982-3. This beautiful and in-depth book is lavishly illustrated both with plates of the actual art works, and photos of the artists. ...

Excellent Apache resource
An excellent resource on the Western Apaches, in particular, and the other Apache tribe in general. The author has spent a great deal of time on the San Carlos Reservation and knows his subject.

Dialogue on Good, Evil, and the Existence of God

1 review
John Perry

Hackett Publishing Company, 1999

Informative and easy
Possibly the easiest introduction to the problem of evil. John Perry discusses the problem in a dialogue format that is all at once engaging, humorous and informative. I strongly suggest this book as an introduction to reasoning, the problem of evil, and/or the philosophy of religion.

Disjointed War : Military Operations in Kosovo, 1999

1 review
Bruce Nardulli, Walter Perry, ...

RAND, 2002

Short but rich in details
This is the best synopsis of the Kosovo War and Operation "Allied Force" in particular that you can find, and despite the small number of pages it contains a wealth of information regarding the facts that led to the war, the military operations and, especially the reasons behind the NATO's decision to fight only by air. Great emphasis is given to the role (and mishaps) of Task Force Hawk deployed ...

Unshakable Faith

John Perry

Multnomah Books, 1999

Men of Sacrifice
John Perry has delivered the goods as a researcher and biographer. In this book about two luminaries of the 20th Century, who brought the light of their torches from the 19th, we have a book that will inspire everyone. There are places where it will not leave you tearless. Balance, honesty and contextual historicism are characteristic of Perry's work. Most reading it will concur with this ...

The Encyclopaedic Dictionary of Environmental Change (Arnold Publication)

1 review

A Hodder Arnold Publication, 2003

What is a Geoindicator? What the heck is Geoconservation?
A must for researchers in quaternary geology, physical geography, and the like. Compiled by British geoscientists who like to throw an occasional a in front of the letter e (see title), but we can forgive them for this. Extensive bibliographies provided for most entries...for a change. If you're an earth scientist or student in need of the right words to describe 'the end of the world as we know ...

1 review
John Perry

Thomas Nelson, 2006

Tells of the ongoing work of God's grace and sovereignty
The word `Watergate' usually brings up negative thoughts like political corruption and national disgrace. For White House-insider Charles Colson, his role in the Watergate saga led to a prison sentence that would become the starting point for Prison Fellowship, an international organization dedicated to taking the gospel of Jesus Christ to inmates, and also serving as an advocate for prison ...

Exploring the Genesis Creation & Fall Stories (Exploring Scripture Series)

John Michael Perry

Sheed & Ward, 1992

Interesting view of tradional religious thought
I had the pleasure of being one of John Perry's students in school. An excellent teacher and an excellent man, his books have greatly helped me in my quest for the truth of the Bible, religion, and my relationship with the creator of the universe. This book looks at some of the inconsistensies in the more "traditional" views of the Bible and focuses on how the Bible should actually be used ...

Exploring the Evolving View Of God: From Ancient Israel to the Risen Jesus

John Michael Perry

Sheed & Ward, 1999

Don't Miss This Book!
Dr. Perry is an excellen example of what mainstream moderate biblical scholarship is and should be! In this excellent work, he traces the evolving view of God through the Old Testament to the time of Christ. If you think that tradition doesn't evolve, you need this book. If you have been put off by the views of extemists on either side, you need this book.
