The University of North Carolina Press, 1989

Highly recommended
I've had and used this book since it came out in 1980. I always recommend it to all of the classes and seminars I give on reptiles and amphibians and to all of the people who ask for a good field guide because, for the size and cost, there are none better for this part of the country. Well worth the money if a handy, accurate, well-done field guide with great photos and range maps is what you ...

Summons of Trumpet: U.S.-Vietnam in Perspective

15 reviews
Dave R. Palmer

Presidio Press, 1995

Excellent overview of Vietnam War
Palmer's book was one on the first I have ever read on Vietnam, and remains one of the best. It is mostly concerned with overall strategy and campaigns; less with individual battles and operations. The book severely criticizes the Johnson Administration (with a particular venom for Robert McNamara) but is much more positive about Nixon. The author's attitude towards the South Vietnamese ...

A Practical Guide to Feature-Driven Development (Coad Series)

5 reviews
Stephen R. Palmer, John M. Felsing

Prentice Hall PTR, 2002

Elegant, Effective and Powerful
The Feature-Driven Development (FDD) method proposed and described in this book is elegant in that it combines simplicity and power, and effective because it will deliver applications that support business requirements. Although the approach is based on object-oriented development, and the book is focused towards that approach, it can be refactored into function- and procedure-oriented ...

Presidio Press, 1994

The Legion of the United States
This little gem of a book is one of the most interesting I have ever read. It covers the disbanding of the Continental Army, the fear of a standing army by some of the Founding Fathers, the anti-military stance of the anti-Federalists, the Constitutional Convention and how Washington was 'elected' as the first President, and how the US quelled both the Indian problems in the Old Northwest and ...

R. R Palmer

Harper & Row, 1967

Excellent Account of how the French Revolution impacted Euro
R.R. Palmer's "World of the French Revolution" is an excellent account of how the French Revolution impacted Europe. Palmer shows how the ideals of liberty and equality swept into other European land with the help of French armies. Palmer also dispels many of the myths of the revolutionaries such as them being members of the Illuminati, or other secret societies. Instead he shows how most of the ...

Excellent history, well written, interesting, a focus on character.
This is an excellent book, well written, clear and concise. It focuses on the Year of the Terror during the French Revolution. There are several strengths to this book. First, Palmer does an excellent job of giving short biographies of the major characters that ruled France as a committee during this period. They include Carnot,the military officer who maintained the war office during the ...

Euripides, 1: Medea, Hecuba, Andromache, the Bacchae (Penn Greek Drama Series) (Penn Greek Drama Series)

2 reviews
Euripides, Slavitt David R, ...

University of Pennsylvania Press, 1998

a return to classics
I went to Columbia, with the most prominent 'great books' curriculum still in existence. 25 years later, I'm finding myself re-reading and discussing many of the titles. The Penn Greek Drama series is a handsome library of new translations that give fresh takes on the classics. It's useful to have Euripides on the shelf when you return home from the recent bravura performance by Fiona Shaw as ...

Edmund Husserl

Springer, 1997

Phenomenological Confrontations
In the clash with Heidegger, Husserl's phenomenology came into close contact with a devisive bug named "intersubjectivity". After dealing with the differences inherent in their two positions, Husserl decided that the only way to remedy the situation, and therefore phenomenology, was to begin work on the phenomenological analytic of ethics, or how to found the possibility of an ethics (this ...

Implants in Clinical Dentistry
I found this book very well organized, well illustrated and easy to read. It was full of practical advice for the practitioner wishing to place and/or restore implants. It gave unbiased information on how to surgically place and restore single and multiple fixed cases as well as removable implant cases using four different implant sysyems (Nobel Biocare, Astra Tech, Strauman and Frialit) but ...

R. Barton Palmer

Twayne Publishers, 1994

For the serious film studies student
As one of Dr. Palmer's students at Georgia State University, I found him to be an excellent professor, one who is proficient not only in film but also in literature and classical studies. His insights to this very-American genre is, at least, obtainable and useful. His instruction, as well as his writing, is readable and his insights are easily applied to the study of nott only film noir, but ...

Outstanding Comparative Analysis
Written over 40 years ago, The Age of the Democratic Revolution is still the major effort at interpreting the political upheavals of the late 18th century. Covering a remarkably broad range of societies, Palmer deals with France, the American Revolution, Britain, the Holy Roman Empire, various German states, Russia, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. This is an effort to reveal ...

'Plautus : The Comedies (Complete Roman Drama in Translation) Vol. 1

1 review

The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1995

Plautus: The Original Comic Genius
This is definitely worth the purchase if you are at all a fan of European Theatre. The plays of Plautus inspired many others, including Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors. Thus, any fan of the theatrical world would be missing out if they did not check out this book of the wildly irreverent, slapstick style writing of Plautus.
