The New Concise History of the Crusades

34 reviews
Thomas F. Madden

Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc., 2005

Great book to start with!
I am not going to write too many details because other reviewers have already done a good job in doing so. I am just here to tell you that I have long been a student of history and the Crusades is one of my major areas of intrest. I have read many books on the Crusades and I can honestly write that this is the best book for someone just getting started in studying this fascinating era. Madden is ...

I think the cartoons are hilarious!
The reason I think that they are so sensational is because I drew them

Digital Color Management: Encoding Solutions

Edward J. Giorgianni, Thomas E. Madden

Prentice Hall PTR, 1998

This book will endure for decades as the book to beat.
I am the author of eight books, and my latest one is on digital imaging. In a word, I find Digital Color Management astounding - both in scope and in clarity. The writing is superb and the material is beautifully illustrated. I believe this book clearly reaffirms Kodak researchers as a prescient within the imaging industry. My only criticism is that this book was not available while I ...

Crusades: The Illustrated History

2 reviews

University of Michigan Press, 2004

Seeing is Perceiving
"Crusades - The Illustrated History," Thomas F. Madden, Editor, shares all the strengths of Madden's "Concise History of the Crusades." It is a refreshing and positive look at the falable but devoted knights and kings of Christendom who deeply desired to see the holy sites of Christianity delivered from the hands of their unbelieving conquerors. It is eminently fair in its approach to ...

The Fourth Crusade: The Conquest of Constantinople (Middle Ages Series)

4 reviews
Donald E. Queller, Thomas F. Madden

University of Pennsylvania Press, 1997

A lucid explanation of a perplexing historical event
To the contemporary mind, the Crusades represent a bizzare, even horrific, historical event. It is difficult, if not impossible, for those living in the 20th Century to comprehend the religious fervor that prompted thousands from Western Europe, both the great and the humble, to commit themselves and their fortunes to the expirgation of the infidel from the Holy Land. Of the sordid history ...

A Concise History of the Crusades (Critical Issues in History)

19 reviews
Thomas F. Madden

Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc., 1999

Primer On Crusades Corrected
The Crusades are truly one of those most misrepresented and misunderstood items commonly brought up in normal people's conversation as though they knew what they were truly about. Madden is a scholar who has researched this topic, and can begin to inform us to consider something other about this history than what is commonly put out in public by politicians and others with something to gain by ...

Crusades

Thomas F. Madden

Duncan Baird Publishers, 2004

A superb addition to any lay Crusade historian's library
Within the covers of this book is an even-handed, albeit introductory, approach to the enigma known as the Crusades. It is written in more of an essay style, giving brief glimpses into various topics within the long history of the Crusades. There are numerous photographs which will interest the eye and much simple explanation of their importance to the narrative text. Also included is a ...

Fire-Up Your Learning

Thomas L. Madden

Stratigent Press, 2001

An excellent start for Accelerated Learning
This book is written in a very easy to understand and easy to apply format. Is an excellent option for students, teachers and parents (specially those concerned about how to get the best from the natural ways to learn). Although this is an elementary book, is the best I know about how to introduce the reader in the ABC of Accelerated Learning: multiple intelligences, learning styles, the 3 brains ...

Empires of Trust

DUTTON ADULT, 2008

Roman history that is truly relevant
Classicist Thomas F Madden has seen the light. He realized after 9-11 that academics have a larger role to play in society than ivory tower occupiers. Since 9-11 he has consciously striven to help people understand the past and how it can help us determine the context in which we make some monumental decision in the present. While he still writes and publishes for academics, he has included the ...

Enrico Dandolo and the Rise of Venice

1 review
Thomas F. Madden

The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2006

Interesting, but hardly exhaustive
While Madden's history of one of the most significant Doge's in Venice is interesting, it lacks a certain something. The first half barely touches on Enrico Dandolo, instead focusing on his father and the actions of Michiel and Ziani. While the most interesting event in Dandolo's life (the Fourth Crusade) is covered in detail, anyone seeking a full picture of Dandolo's life will be disappointed. ...

Thomas J. Madden

Transmedia, 1997

A Book That Helps You Go Far, In PR!
I thought this book gave great insight into the world of PR. The author really took me up to the front line and into the trenches of a dozen or so PR campaigns. To me, the personal approach made the subject matter fun and interesting. I learned a lot about the field. It was good reading.

McGraw-Hill/Irwin, 1996

Great Tools & Concepts
One of the best marketing books i've read! The authors do bridge the knowing-doing gap. Most books focuse on the strategic plan of marketing or on a specific area or buzzword, forgetting the everyday work. This team managed, with excelence to convey a lot of practical knowledge with solid theoretical foundations, this makes this book a pearl that is accessible to those not having solid ...
