Michael Thompson

Osprey Publishing, 2007

A Well Done Campaign Summary
Granicus 334 BC: Alexander's first Persian Victory by Michael Thompson is a well-researched and well-written campaign history. The author has a firm command of this subject and has enhanced his narrative with excellent photographs of the actual battlefield. This was a short but important battle in history and clearly a precursor to Alexander's further campaigns against the Persian Empire. The ...

Crescent, 1979

The best catbook ever
I have been to the local bookstore twice just to get a look into this book. The pictures are just amazing and often captured the moment. For first-time catowner, more experienced owner or just catlovers this book gives you much of the information you need. Again the pictures are the best part of the book.

Ph.D., Theresa Barker Michael Thompson

Ballantine, 2005

A must for parents
No matter how involved you are with your child, it can be impossible to truly understand what is going on inside his/her school. This book gives parents a valuable look at what our children are dealing with every day. Mr. Thompson tells individual stories from the kids' viewpoints--extremely helpful. I saw my own child in his example of a boy who is "allergic" to school....and reading about ...

Music for the Easter Season
Lovely use of the Gospel accounts of the Risen Lord. I would, however, recommend that you get the cd also. It is amazingly spiritual and hauntingly beautiful.

Michael Phd Thompson, Teresa Barker

Ballantine Books, 2008

Offers great deal of insight into minds of boys
"It's a Boy: Understanding Your Son's Development From Birth to Age 18" by Michael Thompson, Ph.D. is one of the best parenting books I've seen as far as being dedicated to understanding what is going on in a boy's brain. As a mother of two boys, I admit that sometimes I am completely befuddled by their behavior. I have (obviously) never been a little boy and because of that, I can't necessarily ...

Speaking of Boys: Answers to the Most-Asked Questions About Raising Sons

12 reviews
Michael Phd Thompson, Teresa Barker

Ballantine Books, 2000

There is nothing wrong with my son
After another unpleasant meeting with my 9 year-old's teacher, my husband and I began to feel thoroughly discouraged and worried. I decided to do some research, came across this book, and nearly wept with relief. Our current school system is dominated by women who fail to understand the psychology of boys. Prior to having sons, I believed that boys were rambunctious and agressive due to ...

Have Mercy on Me, O God: The Great Canon of St. Andrew of Crete (Schola Cantorum of St. Peter the Apostle)

1 review
Ill.) Schola Cantorum St. Peter's in the Loop (Church : Chicago, J. Michael Thompson

Liturgical Pr, 2000

Beautifully done, very accessible
This CD is an Eastern Christian Service (Akathist, I believe) that has a slight "Western" sound to it as it is performed by Eastern Catholics instead of Orthodox. It is basically Eastern liturgical music with a slight Gregorian sound to it. It is clear, in English, and very professionally and beautifully done. The fact that it is promoted by both Eastern Catholics an Orthodox is telling of its ...

Best Friends, Worst Enemies

Ballantine Books, 2001

This book is important.
Alice Miller (author of The Drama of the Gifted Child and Breaking Down the Walls of Silence) has long emphasized that if we are serious about solving society's problems, we must focus on how we treat children --- as individual families and as a cultural. This book is an excellent contribution toward that end. From thought-provoking observations to practical suggestions about solutions, Best ...

Perigee Trade, 2000

THERES STILL A PERSON IN THERE
I bought this book because I have an 84 year old father with Alz. I found it interesting, and not as dry and dull as I had expected. I had a hard time putting it down even though MANY situations describe my family's case very closely and it hit near to my heart. I recommend this book, even over the 36 HOUR DAY, as very informative. I particularly appreciated the personal stories, but did ...

Equal Shares: Making Market Socialism Work (Practical Utopias)

1 review
John E. Roemer, Richard Arneson, ...

Verso, 1996

intellectually and societally challenging
This book requires true open-mindedness and personal questioning. If one ponders with reasonable sincerity about the growing poverty and the increasing gap between the rich and the poor, considering solutions - as opposed to socio-economic band-aids, perhaps this approach might be taken more seriously... albeit impractical for the capitalist societies. It should be more broadly read and debated ...

Dan Kindlon, Michael Thompson, ...

Ballantine Books, 1999

Must read... and you won't be able to put it down!
This is the best book I've seen about raising boys. My husband and I both have read every single page -- it's the first parenting book we've ever really read together, and we've talked about all of it. My husband felt like he was reading about all the secret struggles he went through as a child too. This is the first book that's made me want to change the way I parent...

The Congruent Life : Following the Inward Path to Fulfilling Work and Inspired Leadership

6 reviews
C. Michael Thompson

Jossey-Bass, 2000

A Bold Book
In this bold book, courageously written by an author who has tasted business success and found it bland, we are challenged to rethink the values we have been taught since preschool-that "success" is measured in quantitative terms, that "happiness" is having the most toys, and that "making it" in business means you have to sacrifice all other aspects of your life-especially the spiritual aspect. ...

The Magic Lens

Michael Clay Thompson

Royal Fireworks Pr, 1995

Fabulous for Teachers!
I taught from this book while student teaching in a Gifted English class at a middle school, and through it, watched my students come to a new understanding of Grammar. They were excited about learning how the English language fits together, and they all wanted to know how I learned to teach like that! I give all the credit to The Magic Lens! I bought a copy for my own classroom!

Fireworks: The Lost Writings

1 review
Jim Thompson, Robert Polito, ...

Popular Library, 1989

Terrific collection of short stories
This is a must for every Jim Thompson fan. Some of the stories are biographical, which will give the reader more insight into the man. Other stories are just terrific examples of crime noir. This World and Then the Fireworks is included as kind of an unfinished novella, and it is really something. Very twisted, even for Jim Thompson.
