William H. Robinson, Jordi Falgas, ...

Yale University Press, 2006

Beautiful, but confused
The catalogue for an exhibition held at the Cleveland Museum of Art in 2006 and at the Met in NY in 2007, this book is beautifully illustrated and very well written. It is a treasure trove of information on the history of Barcelona and enables the reader to discover some great and overlooked artists like the painters Ramon Casas (a sort of Spanish Manet) and Santiago Rusiñol, or the architect and ...

Brings yesterday into focus for today's girl
My 7 yr. old advanced reader found this book not only reasonable to read, but it held her excitement at wanting to know what would happen to each of the characters as the wagon train progressed on its journey and met real dangers. It was not too scary, but filled with the concerns of real life in the pioneer days. The story developed the unfolding of a girlhood friendship in such a way as to ...

The New Testament in the Original Greek

11 reviews
Maurice A. Robinson, William G. Pierpont

Chilton Book Publishing, 2005

The newest and most accurate Greek NT available
I have long believed the Majority Text (MT) to be superior to the Critical Text (CT, i.e., the NA/ UBS text) and even to the Textus Receptus (TR). My first introduction to the MT was via the textual footnotes in the NKJV. These reference Hodges and Farstad's Majority Text. Later I became aware of Robison & Pierpont's MT, and having studied their differing methodologies, I came to believe that ...

Your First 90 Days In A New Job (How To Make An Impact)

William Robinson

Lulu Inc., 2004

Gave this book away...but made some notes first
I read through this book in about an hour or so. I felt most of it would be very remedial for many managers. Since I am not a manager (and not going to be), much of this book's content did not pertain to me. However, two topics did stand out. The description of the four managerial types (Laid Back, Ready-Fire-Aim, Popular & Hard Nose) with 'handling' suggestions would be useful for ...

The crux of his thesis is this: US foreign policy has changed in the last twenty years or so from open support of authoritian regimes in countries where the US has economic and/or strategic interests to a program ...
