"A gift, a free gift with no strings attached"
-I'm never gonna forget that quote! Anyway, this is such a nice book, we read the Barrington Bunny story every Christmas and I love it. It's really moving and insiteful.

Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion (Penguin Classics)

10 reviews
David Hume

Penguin Classics, 1990

Is God Knowable By Reason?
David Hume made a reputation by writing on reason and its limits. The main thrust of the Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion is to question whether theological arguments for God that assign Him positive attributes (omniscient, omnipotent, omnibenevolent, etc.) go beyond reason's limits in assigning these attributes. We watch Cleanthes (believer in theological arguments), Demea (believer more ...

THE book on Bach, a comprehensive legacy

In my search for suitable gifts for assorted clients, this is a five star What's New find.

Benjamin's Blind Spot: Walter Benjamin and the Premature Death of Aura

Vance Bell, David Brottman, ...

Institute of Cultural Inquiry, 2001

An exceptional book
It's been months since I've been this excited about a book that's scholarly in nature. Benjamin's Blind Spot is two books in one: a collection of essays by various authors who consider Benjamin's treatment of aura; and reproductions of the Manual of Lost Ideas, an odd compendium of art, text, and objects that was left on the doorstep of the Institute of Cultural Inquiry in the 50s. The ...

CreateSpace, 2008

A Real Find
The minimal listing here on Amazon does not do this work justice. This little gem is a lovely treasure trove created by a group of professional artists and writers from around New England. All of the tales and images center around the concepts of what walls and bridges may represent. They enclose and isolate, allow us access to worlds beyond our own, bind us yet bring us together. It is chock ...

Fraction Jugglers: Game and Work Book and Math Game Cards

Workman Publishing Company, 2001

Having Fun Learning Fractions
Fraction Jugglers is the best book we have ever seen to help kids (and adults!) learn how to use fractions. It starts from the very beginning (naming fractions) and gradually teaches everything you need to know. The illustrations are cute, the text is easy to understand, and the games are fun. We watched children laughing and excited to play as they were competing to see who would win the most ...

The Truth That Sticks: New Labour's Breach of Trust

Martin Bell

Icon Books, 2007

Scorching attack on Labour's lies and sleaze
Martin Bell, the BBC reporter and Independent MP from 1997 to 2001, has written a scorching book on the Labour Party's record in government. Its 1997 election manifesto promised, "We will clean up politics. ... Our mission in politics is to rebuild this bond of trust between government and the people." But, as Bell writes, "on the issue on which it was elected, public trust in public life, its ...

Martin Bell

Harpercollins, 1986

The most thought provoking book on Theology since Romans.
Martin Bell's writing style will amaze you. He keeps on surprising the reader with new waves of exciting theological insights. I personally have never read a book where I was so drawn to the writer's emotions and thoughts. My favorite quote from the book is, "God will not let us go to hell in peace." As in so many other places in the book, Martin Bell is right on and the reader knows ...

R.M. Bell, 1992

Girl Grows Magic
Good folksy fairy tale where the protagonist is a girl not scared to get her magical green fingers dirty. My two year old immediately loved the story of a young baby growing into a little girl and "doing something wonderful." I like that there are lots of opportunities to identify and name vegetables in the exciting if not overly refined illustrations. Also, I really recommend this book for ...

Nenshu and the tiger: Parables of life and death

Martin Bell

Seabury Press, 1975

Another masterpiece from the author of "The Way of the Wolf"
I was lucky enough to run across this book in a used bookstore operated by a man in his basement. The stories and songs are awe inspiring, especially the title story, which is a beautiful, yet abstract account of the crucifixion, death and ressurrection of Christ as seen by the observer, Nenshu. The images and emotions pour out of the text as if the reader was there experiencing it himself. ...

In Harm's Way

It's Not What You Think
Same title - different book. This is an account of a reporter living in war-time Bosnia. It is not about the USS Indianapolis sinking and having sailors being attacked by sharks.

All Roads Lead to Murder: A Case From the Notebooks of Pliny the Younger

Albert A. Bell Jr., William Martin Johnson

High Country Publishers, 2002

great new Roman mystery
If a writer wants to introduce a new series in the somewhat crowded field of Roman mysteries, he'd better have a unique twist. Albert Bell has done that. Instead of fictional sleuths, he uses historical characters, Pliny the Younger and the historian Tacitus, in the first of what promises to be a fine series. Bell combines historical knowledge, witty writing, and a plot with just enough ...

Erotique Noire/Black Erotica

Anchor, 1992

Owned it before, bought it again...
This book is a wonderful introduction into the world of erotic writings. very creative; also very well-written. It was one of the first of such novels I had come across and it was very - 'inspiring' - to say the least. Let's just say I learned to let go of a few inhibitions after reading it, so it was worthwhile to me! If you are trying to compare this book to the writings of Zane, you will ...

[The Author], 1992

Taking an idiom literally
When we ask someone if they are engaged, we are asking if they have made with their partner an explicit and reciprocal promise to enter marriage. When Mary Thorne is asked the question, she takes it literally and means something wholly different. Mary Thorne is the niece and adopted daughter of the eponymous main character of the novel, Doctor Thorne. (If you'll permit an aside before ...

Conflict in the Former Yugoslavia (Roots of Modern Conflict)

2 reviews

ABC-CLIO Ltd, 1999

Full of errors, misinterpreted facts, and false information
The idea behind writing this horribly amateuristic work was noble: to gather a large number of encyclopedic facts about the wars of Yugoslavian succession--something that would be useful to historians, journalists, politicians, and ordinary people. Examples of gross errors and misrepresentations: In one part of the book the main war protagonists are listed in the alphabetical order. Since one ...

An Accidental MP

Penguin Audiobooks, 2000

An interesting look at the work of a non party MP
Martin Bell lost in his attempt to win the seat of Brentwood and Ongar in the 2001 general election, however this memoir looks at his time as MP (Independent) for Tatton from 1997 until 2000 when he wrote this book. Quite candid and interesting, it looks at the work of a man who was the first MP to be non party affiliated since 1950, (minus succesive Speakers) and it examines the strains and joys ...

from the back of the book
The author has once again opened up the Gospel in totally new ways.His first book was titled The Way of the Wolf: The Gospel in New Images. Through compelling character--such as Ursula, friend of children; Chuda-ko, the pirate; Hatfield, the dhariki master, and his formidable opponent, Jennings--the mundane becomes special and the transcendent touches everyday life. And the silver wolf, indeed, ...

Forget You Had a Daughter: Doing Time in the 'Bangkok Hilton': Sandra Gregory's Story

Sandra Gregory, Michael Tierney

Vision, 2003

A Story of Survival
This was a rather timely read given the current situation in South East Asia with Sharpelle Corby and the Bali 9. In this book, Gregory tells the story of how she set out from Britain to spend 8 weeks in Thailand, accompanying a friend of a friend she had no previous acquaintance with. Gregory loved Thailand so much that she decided to stay on, until she became seriously ill and distraught over ...
