The Adventure of the Detected Detective: Sherlock Holmes in James Joyce's Finnegans Wake (Contributions to ...

Greenwood Press, 1998

Brilliant analysis of Joyce's use of Holmes in FW
I was a friend of the late author's and therefore recuse myself from any sort of critical review, but am anxious to let others know of its availability. It is a model of Joycean analysis, in my opinion, written in an elegant, spare style and with great good humor. He has made a significant discovery that should excite and illumine both Sherlockians (Bill was a member of the BSI and prodigious ...

The Eagle & The Monk: Seven Principles of Successful Change

William A Jenkins

Hastings House, 1998

A Must Read
I had the pleasure of meeting Bill Jenkins at a conference in Portland,Oregon last August, and his book and his talk made an immediate and lasting impact on how I viewed organizational needs. I have used one quote over and over as I have worked with my retired teachers organization. "Individuals and organizations that continuously change are the ones who experience lasting success." I am 73 ...

This book is an encyclopedia of 1,200 United Methodist Churches in Mississippi with brief historical sketches for almost all of the active congregations. Over 150 line drawings of church buildings from every region of Mississippi add a special dimension to this book, written as a project of Mississippi Methodists' 200th anniversary in 1999. The appendix lists churches by county and year of ...

Hamlet (Arden Shakespeare: Second Series)

6 reviews
William Shakespeare

Arden, 1982

Simply Indispensable
When Henry James sat down to write on his Venetian travels for what later became the Italian Hours, he began with a disclaimer: "It is a great pleasure to write the word; but I am not sure there is not a certain impudence in pretending to add anything to it." Turning to Shakespeare, we might amuse ourselves by writing on, say, Hamlet, but can anything be said that's not already been said, and ...

William L Jenkins

William Jenkins Enterprise, 1999

Excellent reading material for educators
William Jenkins does a marvelous job explaining the complexities of the African American child. The book is easy to read and lends itself to rich conversations about educating children. If you are responsible for training teachers I would recommend this book for you and those you are training. I would also recommend this book to anyone who works with young people in the community. It may ...

Hamlet (The Arden Edition of the Works of William Shakespeare)

6 reviews
William Shakespeare

Arden Shakespeare, 1982

best version of Hamlet to buy
An excellent version of the play, a balanced and comprehensive introduction, and extended notes about subjects of controversy or interest -- if you want to buy a copy of Hamlet this is the edition to get. Most people have not read many versions of the play; nor have many people read most of the hundreds of books and articles on this play. For whatever strange reason, i have made it through much ...

Michael P. Gabriel, Francois Baby, ...

Michigan State University Press, 2005

printing of important Canadian document relating to American Revolutionary War
The three writers of the journal were agents sent by the British governor of Quebec, Sir Guy Carleton, to travel among the surrounding parishes and missions to find out who had lent support to the American troops in their invasion of Canada during the Revolutionary War. The Americans knew that they had support among some of the French-Canadian "habitants" (i. e., peasants). Though this support ...

Tituba

1 review
William Miller

Gulliver Books, 2000

Understanding Persecution from a Unique Vantage Point
This is a fantastic book for ages 6 to 9, about Tituba, the slave from the West Indies whose harmless but very sincere and sacred pagan beliefs and practices sparked the Salem Witch Trials. Besides telling a little known story of black slave history, it is particularly refreshing to read about the persecution of nature worshipping people, and how easy it can be to be accused of witchcraft for ...

The Path of the Heart

William Jenkins, Joy Jenkins

1st Books Library, 2001

I believe
I was looking for a book that went beyond the token spiritualty offered in so many popular titles. Through this book I really began to understand who I really was and where I am going. I began to communicate with those that I missed on the other side and am well on my way to bacoming a master on my own. This book not only opened my heart, but touched it as well. Bravo!!!!

You Paid How Much For That?: How to Win at Money Without Losing at Love

Natalie H. Jenkins, Scott M. Stanley, ...

Jossey-Bass, 2002

Outstanding book for couples
This is an outstanding book for couples who want to succeed in their marriage and financial affairs. Not too many books out there that deal with relationship and finance, many couples today deal with the financial issues presented to them but never see the other issues in their relationships that also affect their financial situation. This is a must read book!!!!!

A Thousand-Mile Walk to the Gulf

9 reviews
John Muir

Mariner Books, 1981

John Muir is really underrated as a writer
The title sums up quite a bit of the review for me. Not only was he a brilliant naturalist and visionary, but he was a better than decent science and adventure writer. This book, thousand mile walk to the gulf, is from Muir's younger days when he basically dropped out and went exploring. He walked from Wisconsin to the gulf, shortly after the war, and literally slept wherever. Hedges, roadsides, ...

Rekindled: How to Keep the Warmth in Marriage

6 reviews
Pat Williams, Jill Williams, ...

Fleming H Revell Co, 1995

The most life-changing book I've ever read
Pat Williams touches on nearly every husband in America ... good intentions but failing at the point of most importance -- The Home. He showed how that through prayer and patience, he won back the one thing he thought he'd lost forever. Although his wife wasn't receptive at first, the power of prayer and persistance finally broke through. A definate encouragement to those husbands who, like ...

Murray Leinster, William, Fitzgerald Jenkins

Aegypan, 2006

The Invention That Saves The World
I was delighted to find this book back in print. I had an e-copy from The Gutenberg Project! (I guess it won't be available there much longer.) I love all of Murray Leinster's stories - they typify all that constitutes Classic Science Fiction: Frustration with Human Frailty & Limitations, Cynicism juxtaposed with Idealistic Ethics, Simplistic Romantic Love, an Individualistic Inventor/Hero who ...

Kosovo

15 reviews

Kosovo Ica, 1992

Important history
I don't recall when I purchased this magnificent 1992, William Dorich volume, published by the Kosovo Charity Fund and Serbian Orthodox Diocese of Alhambra, Ca. But given the destruction of magnificent Orthodox Christian churches over the last two decades in Kosovo and Serbia--most notably in the last few years--I am especially glad to have it. The 180-page book is of museum catalog quality, ...

Hamlet (Arden Edition of the Works of William Shakespeare)

William Shakespeare, Harold Jenkins

Methuen, 1982

Best Shakespeare editions - for students and wannabe students
I'm not ashamed to admit it. I find Shakespeare difficult. I need help. The Cambridge School Shakespeare editions, with the classroom activities and assignments on each facing page, give me the focus and direction I need to finally truly enjoy the text. I thought I didn't like Shakespeare until I took a class on several of the plays. It turns out that I love Shakespeare when I'm doing close ...

This World Is Taboo

1 review
Murray Leinster, William, Fitzgerald Jenkins

Aegypan, 2006

A Fine Romance
_This World is Taboo_ is one of Murray Leinster's Med Service yarns. It originally appeared in _Amazing_ in 1960 under the title "Pariah Planet." It received little critical attention when it first appeared, and what little it got was lukewarm. I believe that it deserves a better fate; it is one of the top half dozen novels that Leinster wrote. It has one characteristic that makes it stand out a ...
