Frank M. Viollis, Charles Barnett III

The Salafar Press, 1998

Watch out, it has a magical effect!
NOTE TO THE READER: As the author of this work of fiction (which enjoyed a level of popularity far beyond anything I had ever anticipated), I suddenly found myself in touch with a wide and varied assortment of people who, much to my delight (and, to some degree, surprise) had become fans of my work. The review which you are about to read was e-mailed to me directly by one of those fans: Ms. ...

The Cycle of Cosmic Catastrophes: How a Stone-Age Comet Changed the Course of World Culture

16 reviews
Richard Firestone, Allen West, ...

Bear & Company, 2006

Worth Reading
For a 400-page book, this book is most certainly worth it and I could not put it down. "The Cycle of Cosmic Catastrophes" is one of the most serious works that I have ever read, and it was written by scientists who proposed that we are going through "cycles" of cosmic events as it seemed to be related to the one event that happened over 12,000 years ago in North America lands. This is no ...

Embracing the Love of God: The Path and Promise of Christian Life

11 reviews
James Bryan Smith

HarperOne, 1995

A Potential Classic
Embracing the Love of God is thought provoking and is,in my opinion, a potential "spiritual classic". Mr. Smith's extended essay is organized around three topics: Knowing God's Acceptance, Receiving God's Forgiveness and Experiencing God's Care. Read it, and keep it to re-read, when you need encouragement. Embracing the Love of God was a blessing to me, and I recommend you buy it.

This book is a collection of theoretical summaries, reports, analyses, and strategies all quite useful to anyone interested in generating some thinking and action around change. The team of five writers (Peter Senge, Richard Ross, Bryan Smith, Charlotte Roberts, and Art Kleiner) provide some original work, but also serve as editors to a vast quantity of material drawn from practitioners, ...

STOP THE PRESSES: The Crisis and Litigation PR Desk Reference

31 reviews
Esq. Richard S. Levick, Larry Smith

Watershed Press, 2007

Advanced Strategies for Crisis Communication
Don't buy this book for your PR department. Buy it for your attorneys. Levick bridges the gap between the need for an organization to speak publicly during a crisis and its legal department's desire to keep the corporate yap locked tight. An attorney himself, Levick understands perception trumps fact, and that at crisis time the real battle won't happen in a court of law; it's already ...

Authentication: From Passwords to Public Keys

7 reviews
Richard E. Smith

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2001

Masterful writing and in-depth treatment of the subject
I'm in complete agreement with the previous reviewers that this book is easy to read and that it clearly explains complex material. What I like is the way the author integrates theory, application and the human side of authentication. For example, he makes excellent use of tables to distill and display information, such as summary tables for attacks and defenses that are cross-referenced to ...

This Is A Fun Read, & Much More Reasonable than Sarah Vowell
Brian Lamb and his C-SPAN team have written a number of wonderful and extremely-informative essay-filled booknotes on American History and Characters. "Who's Buried in Grant's Tomb" is no exception.

A view of History from the Medieval Kitchens
Eileen Power's Medieval People sets out to study the Middle Ages not from the viewpoint of an Historical abstraction, but rather from that of the people who lived during the age. It is an account of six individuals who lived during the MA's; Bodo, a Frankish Peasant; Marco Polo, the famous Venetian merchant; Madame Eglentyne, prioress of Chaucer; an anonymous middle-class Parisian housewife; and ...

A hunting book that is actually about hunting
Black Bear Hunting is an exceptional book for the hunter. Unlike most hunting titles that quickly turn into a list of rifles, cartridges and retread ballistics table, Black Bear Hunting dedicates only 10 of its 370 pages to a the selection of appropriate weapon; smokeless and blackpowder rifles and handguns as well as archery equipment. The remainder of the book, in exceptional detail and ...

I am a regular participant in Sacred Harp singings. The 1991 Revision follows the practice of all revisions of The Sacred Harp since its original publication in 1844. In addition to the basic body of work, it includes about sixty tunes that are new to the book. These include a mixture of older tunes from the late 1700's to the middle 1800's along with a number of new compositions dating from ...

Extraordinary Circumstances: The Presidency of Gerald R. Ford

4 reviews
David Hume Kennerly, Richard Norton Smith

Center for American History, University of Texas at Austin, 2007

Unprecedented Access + A Brilliant Eye = Extraordinary History Lesson
Aside from the stunning photography which I'll get to, this important book gave me new insights into a mostly overlooked Presidency. Kennerly documented the Ford Presidency and shows us the actual moments that some of the most significant decisions in American history were made- the Nixon pardon and leaving Vietnam to name two- thus revealing Ford as a true leader and rare politician willing to ...

Mcdougal Littell/Houghton Mifflin, 1992

Clear, concise, easy-to-use algebra book
This a a wonderful algebra book, and I only wish it would be reprinted in a more affordable copy with all of the extras---teacher's copy, supplementary worksheets, tests and answer guides. I use this book in teaching algebra to my special education students, and even my 8th graders are handling the lessons with skill, and developing solid comprehension in the use of algebra. When I tutor at a ...

Fender: The Sound Heard 'Round the World

4 reviews
Richard R. Smith

Hal Leonard, 2003

More than a reference book or fan tribute.
I have a half dozen books on the Fender company and this is by far the best. The typical vintage guitar book serves two functions. It gives information on the history of the instrument - guides to production dates, etc. In addition there are usually lots of pictures for lovers of vintage instruments to salivate over ("guitar porn" as I've seen it described before). This book delivers in ...

Tracking Wounded Deer: How to Find and Tag Deer Shot With Bow or Gun

Richard P. Smith

Stackpole Books, 1988

Tracking Wounded Deer
Tracking wounded deer will put more deer in your freezer. If you hunt hard and put yourself in a positon to make a shot on a deer and loose the animal, nothing is more of a let down. There are so many variables involved in the hunt, the odds of making a marginal shot with a bow or gun is always there. I have been owning this book for so long, I can't remember where I bought it. I read it over ...
