The Forgotten Man and Other Essays
William Graham Sumner

Cosimo Classics, 2007

Though his writings are not spoken of as frequently as they once were, William G. Sumner was a prominent voice in the laissez-faire economic and social philosophies of the late 19th century. This 1919 volume collects some of his most significant essays and lectures, including: . "Protectionism, the -Ism which Teaches that Waste Makes Wealth" (1885) . "What is Free Trade?" (1886) . "Prosperity Strangled by Gold" (1896) . "The Delusion of ...

What Social Classes Owe to Each Other
Sumner William Graham

Book Jungle, 2008

...Written more than fifty years ago--in 1883--WHAT SOCIAL CLASSES OWE TO EACH OTHER is even more pertinent today than at the time of its first publication. Then the arguments and "movements" for penalizing the thrifty, energetic, and competent by placing upon them more and more of the burdens of the thriftless, lazy and incompetent, were just beginning to make headway in our country, wherein these "social reforms" now all but dominate political ...

Greek Enchiridion: A Concise Handbook of Grammar for Translation and Exegesis

2 reviews
William Graham MacDonald

Hendrickson Publishers, 1986

When Less Is More...
"Enchiridion" is a compound word from the Greek, meaning roughly "something you can hold in your own hand." In this case the "something" is a modern, well-organised and easy-to-use reference for New Testament Greek. Such a work necessarily leaves much out in order to remain small and manageable, but NT exegetes are unlikely to have only this book in their arsenal of interpretation. I know of no ...

Great Law Book!
This book is FULL of different case studies and cases that have occurred through time. It is a great Law book to read if you are interested in studying Law, another book my Law prof. recommended, but I haven't bought yet, is Black Law Dictionary. It is a dictionary of like all law. If you are facing court or any legal issues, I recommend checking out this book as well.

What Social Classes Owe to Each Other

William Graham Sumner

BiblioBazaar, 2007

Sumner promoting the virtue of limited government.
First published in 1883, Sumner's "What Social Classes Owe to Each Other" is an excellent source for the promotion of limited government. Sumner talks about the "Forgotten Man" in context to the socio-political and economic of a state. He defines the differences between the "weak", "poor" and the "burden" and how the humanitarians, reformers and the philathropists of our society seek forced ...

A Companion to Cognitive Science (Blackwell Companions to Philosophy)

2 reviews

Wiley-Blackwell, 1999

For the postgraduate
I do agree with Nessander that it is pretty inaccessible for most laymen. However, I do like the concise but still fairly substantial papers in the rest of the companion, since I do know aspects of the field (cognitive science) well. The book will mostly serve academics, or students at the postgraduate level who require a thorough introduction to specialised areas of cognitive science, but do not ...

Macmillan, 1990

The perfet good to aquire a good general overview of History
I abhorred History when I was at school. When I've matured and grown more realist I've started to consider the importance of history to try understand what happens around me. I started with The Penguin History of the World" by J.M. Roberts; I don't recommend that book for beginners though it's a good book (I actually hadn't courage enough to finish it, it exists in audiobook too). This book ...

Extensive
Books are college-level, extensive. Though, while they are extensive, they are an easy read and offer simplistic historical representation.

Vathek: With the Episodes of Vathek (Broadview Literary Texts)

8 reviews
William Beckford

Broadview Press, 2001

Beckford's Soulscape?
The tale of Vathek is undeniably a wonderful oriental fable, where enlightenment ethics are presented and critiqued. If read in conjunction with Samuel Johnson "Rasselas", Montesquieu's Persian Letters and "Arabian Nights" one may be able to better understand the landscape upon which orientalism (a term used by Beckford himself to illuminate the period's infatuation with the orient, not to be ...

The Catholic Wedding Book: A Complete Guidebook for Brides, Grooms, and their Parents, with Instructions for ...
Molly K. Hans, William C. Graham

Paulist Press, 2007

THE CATHOLIC WEDDING BOOK, now in a new, revised edition of this best seller, will take the pain out of wedding preparations, answer all your questions and make planning your wedding easy. The Catholic Church teaches that marriage is forever. The truth is that no sane person would want to suffer through the preparation for a marriage more than once. Some say that a wedding is God's way of testing a couple to see if they're fit for ...

Al-Ghazali's Path to Sufism: His Deliverance from Error (al-Munqidh min al-Dalal) and Five Key Texts

Abu Hamid Muhammad al-Ghazali

Fons Vitae, 2000

Epitome of sincerity
As someone who enjoys al-Ghazali's work (espeically the Kimyaet Saada- Alchemy of Happiness, entirely translated into English by Jay Crook), I felt necessary to read this autobiographical work to further understand this great scholar. This book was much more than I expected. Although short, it conveys the development of one of the most brilliant minds of human history. One is most struck with the ...

Colonial Latin America: A Documentary History

Kenneth Mills, William B. Taylor, ...

SR Books, 2002

excellent collection of documents
This is an excellent collection of documents, but then I am biased since I've been a student of Ken Mills... The editorial introductions situate each document historically and culturally. Very useful for beginning students, undergraduate or graduate.

Doctor Who: The Nightmare Fair: The Missing Episodes

Graham Williams

Carol Publishing Corporation, 1992

The Toymaker is BACK!!!
One of my favorite villians returns: The Celestrial Toymaker. The splendid plotline highlights how evil (yet strangely likeable) the character is. The original debut of the Toymaker was in the lost episode featuring the first Doctor. A terrible shame it is that this episode was also lost to the television fans. Fortunately, we can read about it! The plot has many surprises and twists and not ...
