The Quest for El Cid

8 reviews
Richard Fletcher

Oxford University Press, USA, 1991

Excellent history of the Cid and the al-Andalus
Chances are, if you were famous and died a long time ago, Charlton Heston has played you in some epic film. Such is the case with El Cid, the Spanish warlord who successfully played the Christian and Muslim tensions and ended up seizing Valencia for his own. Fletcher's book cuts through the myth to explore who the Cid really was, at the same time offering very intricate portraits of the history ...

Cross and Crescent UK (Allen Lane History)

Richard Fletcher

Viking Adult, 2003

Informative, Well Written, Insightful
I became with Richard Fletcher's book as a result of a very favorable book review, and quickly realized why the review was so positive. When I finally located it, I was surprised how small it was. Nevertheless, Fletcher presents a concise and highly readable analysis of Islamic-Christian relations since the founding of Islam. One aspect of the book I found especially fasinating was the ...

The Color of Liberty: Histories of Race in France

1 review

Duke University Press, 2003

France, Race, and the Struggle for Political Freedom
As I write, vehicles all across France are ablaze. Since October 27, 2005, thousands of cars in suburbs and neighborhoods in various corridors of the country have been burned by predominantly young French citizens descended from North Africa and West Africa. These disgruntled youth represent a class of 'de jure' French citizens who do not consider themselves 'de facto' citizens of the French ...

Rebel Private: Front and Rear: 8Memoirs of a Confederate Soldier

15 reviews
William A. Fletcher

Dutton Adult, 1995

THIS ONE NEEDS TO BE IN YOUR COLLECTION
Excellent, first had observations made by a common private in during the Civil War. The author IS NOT a professional writer. This makes it all the more valuable. The author is not writing the book to entertain, or to pass along old, gory war stories. This is a story by a simple man trying to tell us his point of view, simple as that. This account is quite valuable to anyone interested in the ...

Moorish Spain

Richard Fletcher

University of California Press, 2006

Riveting, accurate and succinct
For all students of Islam, Richard Fletcher's 175 pages of text are critical reading that dispel the myths wide of a kind, gentle "golden age" of Andalusian Islam. Many accounts exist from Islamic conquerors and subjugated Christians, but only three important contemporary reports meet scientific tests---a "single but crucial administrative document from the Islamic side," "a small amount of ...

Barbarian Conversion

Richard Fletcher

Henry Holt and Co., 1998

Judicious, Large and Instructive
This book is a compendium of dates, places, facts, and personages bearing on the penetration of Christianity into pagan Europe from Late Antiquity onwards. In scope, the book is large. The author marshalls overwhelming masses of supporting data to make his clearly stated points. In many regards, the methodology harks back to an earlier era of scholarship which in its extreme is represented by ...

Richard H. Gaze, John T. Fletcher

Academic Press, 2007

The most beneficial book in this topic
The book is full with very beautiful color pictures, about the Agaricus diseases and pests. This book is very helpful for mushroom growers, teachers and scientist too, if they are work with fungi.

Records of North American Elk & Mule Deer, 2nd Edition

Boone and Crockett Club, Jim Zumbo, ...

Boone & Crockett Club, 1996

A MUST for Elk and Mule Deer Hunters
This hardcover book is a must for anyone, like myself, who loves to hunt elk and mule deer. Each state and province is separate in the book and each animal from the Boone and Crockett is listed by the state or province from which it was taken. I also found the book, COLORADO'S BIGGEST BUCKS AND BULLS and Other Great Colorado Big Game, Second Edition, to be of help when planning mule deer and ...

Cooking for Yourself (Williams-Sonoma Lifestyles , Vol 12, No 20)

9 reviews
Janet Kessel Fletcher, Chuck Williams, ...

Time-Life Books, 1999

The Perfect Cookbook
The receipes are for 1 person, the ingredients can all be purchased at my local grocery store, the cooking methods are straightforward, and the dozen or so recipes I've tried so far have taken no more than 15 minutes to assemble and 30 - 45 minutes to cook (the Chocolate Pudding takes 10 minutes start to finish). But what I really love is the taste of the results - full of flavor and out of the ...

The Sandman

Ralph Fletcher

Henry Holt and Co. (BYR), 2008

Mr. Sandman
A tiny little man named Tor cannot sleep. One day he finds a dragon scale. As he files down the scale's sharp edge, a breeze blows the scale dust into his eyes which results in "a great wave of sleepiness." When he awakens, he determines that the dragon scale sand can be used to help wide awake children fall asleep. Alas, he needs a supply of them to stay in business so he must go to the dragon's ...

Classic Pasta at Home (Williams-Sonoma Lifestyles , Vol 1)

3 reviews
Janet Kessel Fletcher, Richard Eskite

Time-Life Books, 1998

A short book with some very nice recipes
The number of recipes won't overwhelm you, but maybe that's a good thing. I found a half-dozen recipes here that I really liked, and several quick, easy ones that I now make frequently; that's a pretty good ROI for your cookbook dollar. The book also boasts the usual W-S glossy photos of every entree, which while they don't quite make this a coffee table book, do give you a good idea of what ...

Napoleonic Wars Wellington's Army: Wellington's Army (Brassey's History of Uniforms Series)

2 reviews
Ian Fletcher

Potomac Books, 1997

An above average addition to the uniform debate for Napoleonic wars
Ian Fletcher is a renowned scholar of Napoleonic Wars history and in this volune published in the Brassey's series, attempts to outline the likely uniforms worn during the Napoleonic Wars by Wellington's army. He points out the problems right from the start - the lack of real pictorial evidence of what was worn, the fact that uniforms altered markedly, the documentary evidence available, ...

God the Father

Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, ...

Deseret Book Company, 1979

Printed on jacket flap:
"In the scriptures we read that 'this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.' (John 17:3) Joseph Smith declared the first principle of the Gospel to be 'to know for a certainty the character of God.' (History of the Church 6:305) Man's eternal progress clearly depends on his coming to a knowledge of his Divine Father; we must know God ...

Dell Books, 1972

ALFRED HITCHCOCK'S THE BEST OF FIENDS
Alfred Hitchcock's The Best of Fiends is part of a series of short story collections released in the sixties and seventies. Alfred Hitchcock, as I understand it, was not even peripherally involved with these books (his introductions were ghost-written). Best of Fiends contains fourteen crime and suspense short stories by these authors: H. A. DeRosso, C. B. Gilford, Rog Phillips, Edwin P. ...

U. S. Bureau of Mines, Richard A. Dick, ...

Too old
I purchased this book because it listed the publish date as 2005. It is actually a reprint from 1983. The information is ok but outdated.

Bloodfeud

7 reviews
Richard Fletcher

Penguin Books Ltd, 2003

Brilliant
Fletcher's 'Bloodfeud' is a little keyhole through which we can look clearly at the world of eleventh century England. Moderns tend to view all people of the past as the same as they, in funny clothes, perhaps a trifle more violent, and with poor table manners, all of this informed more by Hollywood than by research. We have so little real, hard information about these times, and almost no record ...
