A Knock at Midnight: Inspiration from the Great Sermons of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr.

9 reviews
Martin Luther King Jr.

Hachette Audio, 1998

I wish I could give this EXPERIENCE 10 stars!
Notice I refer to the cassettes and the companion book as an EXPERIENCE as I both listened to and read the REVEREND King! Although the media focused on the visible part of his ministry, the civil rights movement, his sermons are profound and awesome in their implications for today as well as their in their powerful delivery during the mid-1950's through 1960's. Although I will cherish both the ...

Committing Journalism: The Prison Writings of Red Hog

5 reviews
Dannie M. Martin, Peter Y. Sussman

W W Norton & Co Inc, 1993

Amazing but True
In this book, Dannie Martin and Peter Sussman have done more to shed light on the idiocy of our prison system than any other book I have read on the subject. Dannie Martin is a convicted criminal, and I expected the usual whining about the system and how he got a poor trial, etc. Instead, what I found was a series of insightful articles written about the prison system by someone who has the ...

one for aestetics . . . and a smile
This book has some unique and incredible black and white photography of Bush both on and off-stage. It gives the readers a glimpse into Bush's life with some comedic commentaries that are always good for a laugh. You can't use it for a book report, but it's one you'll enjoy for a long time. And hey it makes a great gift for Bush fans!

Peter Kobel

Little, Brown and Company, 2007

A Sumptuous Book on the Silent Era
I received this book as a Christmas gift and while not a definitive volume on the Silent Era, it is truly beautiful. They have various chapters from the stars, the directors, genres and etc. This book is loaded with photos of stars and posters and is a large coffee table book. I have read bits and pieces but not cover to cover, yet. Still, I can highly recommend this book to anyone interested ...

Sociology Themes and Perspectives

5 reviews
Martin Holborn, Peter Langley

Collins Educational, 2005

The Last Word on Sociology
While going through the book in1986, I often wondered if a more comprehensive, lucid and well-researched book could ever be written on the subject. My conviction still remains strong after all these years. This book is quite different from the usual introductory books on sociology meant for college fresher, which come packaged with pictures, photographs, case studies, box items and rather ...

Gray's Anatomy: The Anatomical Basis of Medicine & Surgery

17 reviews
Henry Gray

Churchill Livingstone, 1995

Amazing work by the authors and illustrators!!!
This is an AMAZING book to say the least. I have to say, that this book is not for someone who is just starting in the medical field, as it is written in complex medical terminology. However, if you are in the medical field, than this book is a great reference. Every section of the body is broken down to the most minute detail. And the illustrations/pictures are absolutely amazing; they make ...

6 reviews
Peter Delves, Seamus Martin, ...

Wiley-Blackwell, 2006

THE CHOICE OF MANY DISCERNING LEARNERS
The inclusion of all the latest abstruse developments in the field of immunology was part of a concerted effort to make this latest edition of "Roitt's Essential Immunology" standout in the crowd. It is an elaborate text whose popularity attests to its high quality. Good enough, the traditional use of simple descriptions were retained in this new edition, while additional efforts were made in ...

Dictionary of the Later New Testament & Its Developments (The IVP Bible Dictionary Series)

4 reviews

InterVarsity Press, 1997

A Powerful Resource for Christians Everywhere!
In every respect, Dictionary of the Later New Testament is a magnificent achievement in the study of early Christianity. It is both authoritative and scholarly and takes the study of early New Testament literature to a new level. I found the articles on Hebrews and Acts to be especially well written and helpful, and the book's thorough coverage of other non-canonical early church literature ...

Internal Medicine (Internal Medicine (Stein))

2 reviews
Jay H. Stein, John H. Klippel, ...

Mosby, 1998

The first truly comprehensive medical textbook I've seen.
I first came across this book last year when I was feverishly studying for my 4th year medical exams. What really excited me was that I could look things up in the index and actually find a paragraph or two explaining my query, no matter how obscure the reference. Textbooks like Harrisons baffle me; why would I want to spend 45 minutes looking at the ten different times my word has been mentioned ...

The Desecularization of the World: Resurgent Religion and World Politics

3 reviews

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1999

Pseudo or Real Desecularization?
Second submittal (revised) Sociologist Peter L. Berger's 1974 book Pyramids of Sacrifice: Political Ethics and Social Change foresaw what we now call "globalization." His 1983 book with sociologist Brigitte Berger The War Over The Family anticipated what has been dubbed as the "cultural wars." And his 1966 classic The Social Construction of Reality was way ahead of its time with regard to what ...

Martin John Yate, Peter J. Sander

Adams Media Corporation, 2002

Highly Recommended!
Career management expert Martin Yate and finance whiz Peter Sander have assembled a dandy handbook on making effective presentations. After pointing out the value of developing this key career skill, they focus on how to prepare a good speech. They go from identifying your audience, to determining how best to deliver information, to being ready to be hot stuff at the podium. Similar books have ...

Leadership Moments: Turning Points That Changed Lives and Organizations

2 reviews
Arthur L. Jue, Peter Amato, ...

Trafford Publishing, 2007

"Good judgment decisions" require and reveal character.
As I began to read this collection of essays, I was reminded of Vince Lombardi's assertion that leaders are made, not born. "And they are made just like anything else that has ever been made in this country -- by hard effort and that's the price we all have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal." I was also reminded of The Managerial Moment of Truth in which Bruce Bodaken and Robert Fritz ...

3 reviews

Servant Publications, 2006

Catholics and Evangelization, Past, Present, and Future
This work is an updated version of papers presented at a 1994 "new evangelization" conference that grew out of an article by Fr. Avery Dulles (now a cardinal). Dulles, who was the keynote speaker, and other presenters addressed efforts of Vatican II participants and Popes Paul VI and John Paul II to clarify the call for Christian evangelization. The 23 articles are grouped under six headings: ...

Buffalo Bill's Wild West: An American Legend

2 reviews
R. L. Wilson, Greg Martin

Chartwell Books, 2005

Buffalo Bill's Wild West: An American Legend is a Legend of a Book
I was looking for a gift for a true western history buff. Many of the books out there sugarcoat the story of the West. This one is the best book I have seen on an amazing man. The details of the adventures along with the non-colorized photos are just excellent. For anyone interested in this section of American history, this book should be on your bookshelf. It's also a very good coffee table ...

Clayborne Carson, Peter Holloran

Hachette Audio, 2005

MLK "A Knock at Midnight" Sermon Series Review...
The sermon series is awesome!!! Each sermon has an introduction that gives the listener valuable tidbits about the sermon. You can feel the effect of MLK's powerful oration abilities. All of the sermons are still relevant today and anyone who has a pulse can benefit from listening to the set.

Hommage to Martin Kippenberger: The 80's, Paintings and Sculptures

2 reviews
Merlin Carpenter, Mayo Thompson, ...

Holzwarth Publications, 2003

Another Kippenberger Book
You must have this book because it is another Kippenberger book. Just in case you have missed something. Really, this is a very brief volume, so if you are looking to buy Kippe stuff, i'd recommend the "Nach Kippenberger" and/or the "Kippenberger" ones. This has a few brief essays by people who knew/worked with him. The piece by Albert Oehlen is touching and it highlights their mutual ...

Houser: The Life and Work of Catherine Bauer

2 reviews
H. Peter Oberlander, Eva Newbrun, ...

University of British Columbia Press, 1999

A Feminist Activist In Housing Policy
Houser is part biography and part intellectual history of the early days of idealsm and activism in the housing movement. Oberlander and Newbrun are effective in using a sensitive telling of the life of Catherine Bauer to evoke a sense in which housing policy today has lost its way despite the foundations laid by Ms.Bauer and her colleagues. This book is a must read for those interested in ...
