The Beethoven Compendium: A Guide to Beethoven's Life and Music

5 reviews
Anne-Louise Coldicott, Nicholas Marston, ...

Thames & Hudson, 1996

Fascinating and Wonderfully Complete!
This book offers chapter after chapter of information on every aspect of Beethoven. I find that every time I pick this book up, I can find something interesting to read about. Obviously the music as catalogued and described. Beyond that, details of the great composer's personality, writing style, health difficulties, as well as his known views on a variety of topics provide endless hours of ...

On Our Own Ground: The Complete Writings of William Apess, a Pequot (Native Americans of the Northeast)

3 reviews
William Apess

University of Massachusetts Press, 1992

Outstanding
Eurocentric assumptions perpetrated by white males have obscured the incredibly brave and noble work of Native American writers. As a feminist who is interrogating those eurocentric paradigms, I am delighted to come upon this wonderful book.

Citizen Washington

33 reviews
William Martin

Hachette Audio, 1999

Audio version: Entertaining!
The audiobook runs 6 hours and is surprisingly fun to listen to. Other reviewers have covered most of what you need to know so I will just add a parental advisory: contains rough language of a creative sort that boys of a certain age may like to quote, so if you are looking for something educational for a family car trip, this may not be suitable. Otherwise, I certainly recommend this book as an ...

The Biology of Disease Vectors

2 reviews

University Press of Colorado, 1996

Excellent reference text
As a PhD student in vector borne infectious diseases, I have found this book incredibly helpful. The text is interesting, timely, and easy to read. It is one of the most comprehensive, insightful reference texts out today. If you are a student interested in infectious disease, entomology, parasitology, or medicine, this book is a "must have."

The 1864 Field Artillery Tactics: Instruction for Field Artillery

2 reviews
William F. Barry, Henry Jackson Hunt

Stackpole Books, 2005

"Caissons in front of your pieces--Trot--March!"
I've always been amazed that a good Civil War smoothbore crew could fire two aimed shots per minute in the heat of battle. (A rifle crew was just a little bit slower because of the extra steps involved in loading a powder bag that was detached from the projectile.) But after examining the incredibly detailed drill instructions in The 1864 Field Artillery Tactics manual, I get it. Artillery ...

I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue

2 reviews
Tim Brooke-Taylor, Barry Cryer, ...

Robson Books Ltd, 1980

Great loo book
What do you expect from a book of Limericks from the long running radio comedy show? Wordsworth? These constitute the cutting edge of modern limericks from some of the best (or worst, depending whether you like puns etc) wordsmiths in the business. This is the ideal book to set beside your loo.

Contemplatives in Action: The Jesuit Way

2 reviews
William A. Barry, Robert G. Doherty

Paulist Press, 2002

No Longer Divided
One of the greatest challenges of responding with a life-giving "Yes" to the call to become a living reflection of Christ's presence in the world is dealing with the seemingly conflicting pulls. Do I spend time in prayer or in service? Do I want to join a religious order or become involved in a ministry where I live? "Contemplatives in Action" shows how these paradoxes can actually become a ...

Finding God in All Things

3 reviews
William A. Barry

Ave Maria Press, 1991

My Best Friend's World
Jesus knew life hurts, and he healed. We, too, live God's dream by trusting God in prayer and becoming good friends with Christ. We end up being more sensitive talkers and listeners and knowing what to do for ourselves and the world. FINDING GOD IN ALL THINGS is written for the increasing numbers who practice the spiritual exercises of St Ignatius. Author William Barry ends the chapters with ...

Up From Liberalism

William F. Buckley Jr.

Hillman Periodicals, 1961

Up From Liberalism
I'm a college student studying on a liberal college campus who will probably pursue a career in Constitutional law. Reading this book has helped me understand my political philosophy much more clearly. Up From Liberalism by William F. Buckley, Jr. is a witty, sagacious, and very perceptive book declaring the fresh conservative alternative to liberal establishment politics. It is a must read ...

Transmission Electron Microscopy: A Textbook for Materials Science

6 reviews
David B. Williams, C. Barry Carter

Springer-Verlag, 2008

Excellent introduction to TEM
In the 70's and 80's the book by Hirsch et al. was the TEM reference tome, and Eddington's book the applications manual. Time has marched on, and this book is the new replacement for both! Carter and Williams wrote a very easy to read, yet well detailed, text and reference for TEM. They cover quite literally everything, in just the right level of detail for 1st or 2nd year grad students. This ...

Paying Attention to God

2 reviews
William A. Barry

Ave Maria Press, 1990

Illuminating
Father Barry succintly describes prayer as a personal relationship with God. This in fact is the focus of Part I of "Paying Attention to God." As we progress through the chapters, we discover the various aspects involved in developing our own relationship with our Creator. It is an eye opening experience. Upon completion of his explaination of the variuos stages, he proceeds to correlate ...

Robert (editor) (Ann Bridge; Barry Pain; Oscar Wilde; Vincent O'Sullivan; Alexander Pushkin; Desmond MacCarthy; Hugh Walpole; Eric Ambrose; M. R. James; Saki; William Wilkie Collins) Aickman

Fontana Books, 1972

Good collection in a great series
Throughout the two decades from 1964 to 1984, Fontana published a remarkable skein of ghost story collections, piloted by R. Aikman and later by R. Chetwynd-Hayes, no mean supernatural authors themselves. Some of the paperbacks in this series, which winds its way up to the "20th Fontana Book of Great Ghost Stories" are now collectors' items and worth over a hundred dollars apiece. For this ...

Glencoe Accounting: Real-World Applications & Connections - First Year Course

1 review
Donald J. Guerrieri, F. Barry Haber, ...

Glencoe/Mcgraw-Hill, 2000

Amazon is GREAT!
I am a high school business teacher and I received this book along with the various teacher editions. However, because our order was for only 3 student books, I was not given the student version of the chapter working papers. This made making lesson plans tedious because I needed to format sheets to match, so needless to say, I was NEVER so happy to see that Amazon had the student version! The ...

A Catalogue of Southern Peculiar Galaxies and Associations, Volume II: Selected Photographs

1 review
Halton C. Arp, Barry F. Madore

Cambridge University Press, 1987

For The Professional Or The Amateur, A Treasury Of Diverse Celestial Objects
An extraordinary and beautiful publication, this register of southern hemisphere galaxies surpasses Arp's 1966 compendium of northern objects in scope, detail, and variety. The plates, prints of black and white negatives from the U.K. Schmidt Telescope in Australia, inspire deep curiosity and evoke stunning beauty. Though presented without adornment in the plain style of an academic list, the ...

How to Live With Autism and Asperger Syndrome: Practical Strategies for Parents and Professionals

1 review
Chris Williams, Barry Wright, ...

Jessica Kingsley Publishers, 2004

Only one of its kind
This is a different kettle of fish to Tony Attwood. But very valuable. Tony is a god and the tone is optimistic generally which is good as an introduction but he doesn't get to the nitty gritty of faecal soiling or being awake all night! This book is more directly concerned with specific problems of behaviour. Education is not covered. I wish I had had it when my own AS child was awake all ...

Allowing the Creator to Deal With the Creature: An Approach to the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius of Loyola

1 review
William A. Barry

Paulist Pr, 1994

Masterful Insights Into The Spiritual Exercises
Barry is a very well known, highly respected and extremely experienced spiritual director, retreat director, and psychologist who writes this text out of that wealth of theoretical knowledge and pastoral experience for spiritual directors and primarily for directors of Ignatian retreats. The title affirms a faith that God deals directly with souls and the director's task is merely to facilitate ...

Campbell-Mohn, Breen and Futrell's Hornbook on Environmental Law: From Resources to Recovery (Hornbook)

1 review
J. William Futrell, Celia Campbell-Mohn, ...

West Publishing Company, 2001

A Landmark Book
The history of environmental law in this country is one of media by media legislation where pollution is chased from air to water to land rather than cleaned-up. In this book Celia Campbell-Mohn et.al. revolutionizes the way in which environmental law is organized and analyzed. Instead of breaking the environment into sectors as resources (species, minerals) and sinks for pollution (air, land, ...
