William E. Barton

University of Illinois Press, 2005

Lincoln was a Godly man.
This book was originally published in 1920 and was republished in 2005 by the University of Illinois Press, presumably with the approaching bicentennial of Lincoln's birth in mind. A new introduction was written by Michael Nelson, professor of political science at Rhodes College. Barton, who died in 1930, was a Congregational minister who became very interested in Lincoln and wrote eight books ...

William Shakespeare

Barnes & Noble Books, 1998

From the Publisher
"'A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!' 'This above all: to thine own self be true.' 'If you prick us, do we not bleed?' These lines have become a familiar part of our shared cultural vocabulary, but can we name the Shakespearean plays in which they originated, or who said them and why? In this collection of Knowledge Cards you will learn the origins of forty-eight familiar quotations from ...

Kessinger Publishing, LLC, 2007

Delightful reading!!
A good friend introduced me to this witty author and Safed the Sage in the early 80's... my copy disappeared over the years, but Lo! and Behold! the Internet arriveth! Now I am able to read, re-read and share this good reading... Timeless... sometimes hysterical... you will enjoy! Ditto for the other Safed book, also to be found on Amazon...

Flora of Jamaica Containing Descriptions of the Flowering Plants Known from the Island: Volume 1. Orchids

1 review
William Fawcett, Alfred Barton Rendle

Adamant Media Corporation, 2001

Nice reprint
If you're looking at this, you probably know that this book is still a very valuable source of information on Jamaican orchids. This is a nice, amazingly inexpensive reprint of this essential work--ever so much cheaper and easier to get than finding one of the originals!The publisher has even taken care to print the captions accompanying the drawings on a separate leaf, rather than on the ...

The Metabolic and Molecular Bases of Inherited Disease

1 review
Charles R. Scriver, Arthur L. Beaudet, ...

McGraw-Hill Publishing Co., 2001

Comprehensive heavyweight
This is a suitably vast book for a vast subject. It covers every aspect of the application of human genetics to medicine, and the reviews are not only an ideal introduction to a genetic disease, but are heavily referenced as well. This makes it ideal as a guide to the most recent literature on the subject. The introductory chapters are essential reading as well.

William Eleazar Barton

Zondervan, 1990

Parables of a Country Parson
This small volume contains some of the most clever, funny and insightful material I've read in a long time. The old English style of writing adds to the charm of each little vignette. Anyone lookiing for some inspiration or just to have a smile put on your face should read Dr. Rosell's compilation.

Wonderful, whimsical "ancient" 20th century parables
A selection of parables from this and four companion collections have now been reprinted in "Parables of a Country Parson" (Hendrickson Publishers).

Lockhart's Nightmare

3 reviews
Wayne Barton, Stan Williams

Forge, 1998

As good or better than Fairchild's Passage.
A mystery-adventure set in the waning days of the old west, it has 350 pages, I wish it could have been more, James Lockhart trying to clear his name after being falsely accused of stealing the bank notes that he sells plus murder, with his traveling companion Marian Taylor who is accused of being an accomplice, they travel mostly by train with one air trip and several buggy rides from Sacramento ...

Hamlet (Penguin) (Shakespeare, Penguin)

William Shakespeare

Penguin Classics, 1981

To thine own self be true ...
NOTE: THE FOLLOWING CHIEFLY PERTAINS TO THE NEW FOLGER LIBRARY EDITION. William Shakespeare's "Hamlet" is arguably the most famous play ever written in the English language; it presents the world with questions and characters that have been the subject of thespian and scholarly debate ever since the Prince of Denmark's first appearance on the stage of London's Globe Theatre. Probably written ...

4 reviews, ...

Prentice Hall, 2007

Great Lessons in De-Risking, in a Very Readable Book !
After the Enron meltdown, risk management is as hot as fire. You can?t pick up the newspaper without stories about all the risks facing businesses and investors. I run a medium size business in a big city. If you want to ?de-risk? a company, you need to learn from managers who are already doing it and doing it well. This book has very detailed cases about the risk management programs at ...

Transmigration of Souls

7 reviews
William Barton

Aspect, 1996

One of the most underrated SciFi novels of all time
William Barton, with The Transmigration of Souls, has created something rarely seen in the SciFi genre; a story that resonates within people who feel the existential pain of life deep in their gut and who long for worlds without number, far from the mundane existence and quiet desperation that haunts those whose souls and dreams are too big to be contained within our tepid Western society. It ...

Tempest, The (Penguin) (Shakespeare, Penguin)

39 reviews
William Shakespeare, Anne Barton

Penguin Classics, 1981

Excellent activity based edition
The Tempest is rightly regarded as being one of the Bard's greatest works, containing some of his deepest thoughts on the nature of power and the relationship between rational man as controller of nature, and the animal man always to be at the mercy of the passions both of himself, others, and the world around him. In fact, this play could be thought of as representing Shakespeare's final and ...

When We Were Real

12 reviews
William Barton

Aspect, 1999

More about loss than about space opera
I finished "When We Were Real" (WWWR) a few hours ago after several hours of non-stop reading. I am still thinking about it. Another reviewer compared WWWR to the classic "Forever War", which is indeed a book which came to mind as I read. Against a background of war and wanderings, both novels consider what happens to sentient people when they are separated by vast distances and spans of time. ...

Dark Sky Legion

3 reviews
William Barton

Spectra, 1992

Well written but somewhat depressing
I bought this novel through Amazon's used book service as I am a big fan of William Barton. After reading it, I was left with a depressed feeling, this book does not depict humanities' future as bright as some authors do. But that is okay, as there is no rule that says everything has to be peaches and cream! However, I did enjoy Barton's later novels better than this one. There is sex in this ...

GURPS Space

Steve Jackson

Steve Jackson Games, 1999

SUPERB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahem ... This is one of the best roleplaying books I have ever read and certainly among the best for GURPS. If you want to create a pace-based science fiction campaign, this is the book for you whether you play GURPS or not. Everything is in here: spaceship design, alien races, solar systems, planetary governments ... all organised in a take-it-or-leave-it fashion. If something seems to techy to ...

Cthulhu Now: Modern Adventures and Background for Call of Cthulhu Roleplaying/3307

1 review
William A. Barton, Peter Corless, ...

Chaosium, 1992

More Like Cthulhu Then
I can see how this was a good product in its day. Published in 1987, CTHULHU NOW allowed players of Call of Cthulhu to run games in the present. At the time of this writing, that was 18 years ago. It feels less current and more ... nostalgic (?) to me. Of course, Delta Green is 10 years old now and there's been a lot of water under THAT bridge. Still, 1987 is more like "now" than it is like ...

When Heaven Fell

10 reviews
William Barton

Aspect, 1995

wow!
I have read six or seven of Barton's novels, and all are very good, this one is no exception. It is based in a world in which a Master Race has subdued Earth and also controls most of our galaxy. Mercenaries are hired by the Master Race, aliens and humans alike, Athol Morrison being one of them. The book centers around Athol and his adventures and personal life. I found this book simply ...

Official Riven Hints and Solutions: The Sequel to Myst (Bradygames Strategy Guides)

7 reviews
William H. Keith Jr., Nina Barton

BRADY GAMES, 1997

Too vital! You gotta have this book!
Riven was a super challenge and I hate cheating. This book was so awesome because it gave you ONLY the help you wanted when(if) you get to the point that you get really stuck. It is well divided so you don't see clues/info that would give away something that you didn't want to know. These people should get hired to write solution books for all the top games!It keeps you from being tempted to ...
