9 reviews
Peter C. Brush, Sally Davis, ...

Pearson Prentice Hall, 2004

Takes the difficulty away from learning Latin
Latin has a reputation of being a difficult and dull language to learn. Most textbooks present it in a scholarly way, focusing on transaltions of the works of ancient authors, and not giving modern learners a connection to their lives. The Ecce Romani series presents Latin in an innovative and attractive way. Every chapter begins with a a painted color picture and short story (in latin) about ...

A Theological Guide to Calvin's Institutes: Essays and Analysis (Calvin 500)

1 review

P & R Publishing, 2008

A superb overview of a monumental work
Having first read The Institutes in 1978, I always wanted to have something that would help me over the rough spots. This book does just that. Each essay covers a portion of The Institutes and has been written by leaders in the field of Calvinistic studies. These scholars are sympathetic to Calvin but don't follow him blindly. In a few places they mildly disagree with him (but in an agreeable ...

The Butterflies of Canada

1 review
Ross A. Layberry, Peter W. Hall, ...

University of Toronto Press, 1998

A book for all naturalists
The most perfect book about butterflies in a specific region ever made! It contains the latest information about all butterflies in Canada and it is well illustrated with 32 great colour plates covering all species (I think). This is the only book you need about butterflies in Canada.

Tibor Kalman, Perverse Optimist

17 reviews

Princeton Architectural Press, 2000

If a man smiles at you...
I first heard of Tibor Kalman while browsing a copy of "Interview", just to learn that it was a tribute. Sometime later, I found a smiling bookcover looking at me. I bought it. I was waiting for the bus and started to read it... I could not put it down again. I read textes, subtitles, infos, even the small characters of the work reproduced. It was not enough. It made me regain the somehow lost ...

The tragic love triangle of Roxane, Christian, and Cyrano
The scene that has made Edmond Rostand's verse drama in five acts, "Cyrano De Bergerac," a classic drama is the balcony scene, where Cyrano is feeding the inarticulate Christian the lines with which to woo the lovely Roxanne. Finally Cyrano pretends to be Christian and speaks to Roxanne directly, while hiding in the shadows. Cyrano loves Roxanne as well, but would never dare to speak to her in ...

Adolescent Medicine: A Handbook for Primary Care

1 review
Victor C Strasburger, Robert T Brown, ...

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2005

Accurate & Accessible
This is an essential aid to anyone who sees teenagers in their practice. The authors have produced a consistent, easily read style. The book is relatively small (portable!) with up to date information and very useful tables -- to the point and accurate. The recommendations are pragmatic; some summaries such as in Sports Medicine (ch 28) could be given directly to a teen and reviewed with them. ...

Landmark Speeches of the American Conservative Movement (Landmark Speeches)

This book sets out to make going to Shakespeare performances or acting in them a richer experience, and it should have a wide appeal to both actors and audiences. It also celebrates Sir Peter Hall's fifty years as a director of ...

Essential Marvel Two-In-One, Vol. 2 (Marvel Essentials)

1 review
Marv Wolfman, Roger Slifer, ...

Marvel Comics, 2007

The next chapter in a great collection of stories.
Marvel Two-In-One was an opportunity for Marvel to continue on the "Team-Up" bandwagon of the 70s using The Thing as the stable character throughout. While the first volume of this collection dealt mostly with one-shot stories, this second volume picks up as the series had started to catch its stride. There are several stories that spread out over multiple issues, and we see the inclusion of such ...

Cities in Civilization

Peter Hall

Pantheon, 1998

Wonderfully researched, flowing prose
Peter Hall's magnum opus is essential for any armchair urban historian... His writing flows with an almost breezy style, making the book compusively readable. The scope is impressive, and Hall delivers in his monumental task, the wide breadth of knowledge being nothing short of remarkable. Even after reading it, I use the book often for reference in my studies; it was well worth adding to my ...
