Mosby, 2005

Highly recommended
This book is considered the "Bible" for vitreo-retinal specialists, as this book gives a comprehensive and conscise insight to diseases, treatment and opinions in the subspecialty. I highly recommend this book to any general ophthalmologist who has a keen interest in the vitreo-retinal subspecialty, and to those who are planning to take post-residency fellowships in this subspecialty.

Foraging Theory

4 reviews
David W. Stephens, John R. Krebs

Princeton University Press, 1987

a much cited classic
Foraging Theory is truly indispensable for anyone working on foraging of any kind. It is a great reference that I seem to keep going back to. My copy is nearly destroyed with notes and coffee stains. I would go so far as to label it unavoidable, because it is cited in so many papers and reviews. Thankfully, as a math-centered, unavoidable book, it is also a pleasure to read. I find that the ...

Everyday Greatness: Inspiration for a Meaningful Life

13 reviews
Stephen R. Covey, David K. Hatch

Thomas Nelson, 2006

A book that you'll often want to revisit!
Be forewarned: EVERYDAY GREATNESS: INSPIRATION FOR A MEANINGFUL LIFE by Steven R. Covey; compiled by Donald K. Hatch is not a "typical" Covey book along the lines of his classic THE SEVEN HABITSOF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE. Rather, it is a collection of short pieces that originally appeared in READER'S DIGEST that Covey effectively brings together with running commentary. . . the ...

Encountering Evil: Live Options in Theodicy

2 reviews
John B., Jr. Cobb, David R. Griffin, ...

Westminster John Knox Press, 1982

Very well done
Although there are probably as many theodicies as there are people in the world, Stephen Davis does a fine job selecting scholars who represent various, major viewpoints on the classic problem of evil to elucidate their positions. John Roth represents a theodicy of protest whereby it is insinuated that God may not be totally good. God, says Roth, has a dark side and so must be persuaded by ...

15 reviews

"Harry N. Abrams, Inc.", 2006

"So what is it you like about that old music?" *
Wow! Every so often you run across something that knocks your socks off. R. Crumb's Heroes of Blues, Jazz, & Country left me barefooted. In the 1980s, Robert Crumb, whom Robert Hughes appropriately once called the "Breughel of the 20th century," created sets of trading cards featuring some of his favorite blues, jazz, and country musicians. (The plan was to include one card per LP sold by ...

It was a sensation, indeed, when the young British artists took over the art scene in the 1990s. But what came before them? With works from more than 100 artists, Blast to Freeze traces the epoch-making art movements of an entire British century, from the outbreak of World War I to the collapse of the Soviet Union, beginning and ending with a decided break from the traditional. In 1914 a group of young British artists, the Vorticists, in their ...

Barrett Tillman

Forge Books, 2003

Nice anthology of WWII novellas.
I picked this title up as as a means to pass the time during a stint on jury duty last week. Thumbing through the book in the bookstore I was immediately attracted to the title (mainly because of the subject) but also because Stephen Coonts edited the book (and his Flight of the Intruder is one of my favorite titles). This collection of 3 novellas read quickly and held my attention. This ...

Southern Illinois University Press, 2007

Angels in the American Theater: Patrons, Patronage, and Philanthropy examines the significant roles that theater patrons have played in shaping and developing theater in the United States. Because box office income rarely covers the cost of production, other sources are vital. Angels—financial investors and backers—have a tremendous impact on what happens on stage, often determining with the power and influence of their money what ...

Thompson Student Bible-NIV

1 review

Kirkbride Bible Company, 1999

Revamped Organization Makes This Bible Even Better
This Thompson Student Bible gets it right. The original Thompson Chain reference was a great bible study tool, with many helps, charts, topical studies and archaeological facts. The problem with the former editions, was the editor's insistence of making the reference material available as appendices, and not in context with the text. One might read about the city of Jericho in the book of ...
