Niall Williams

Bolinda Publishing, 2008

Amazing read...like being there
This is the first book I've read by Niall Williams. He is an amazing writer. He plays with vocabulary and sentence structure and somehow (without being gimmicky) transports you back 2,000 years ago, on the island of Patmos, living day by day, in faith, beside the apostle John. You live humbly and expectantly awaiting the return of Christ. Heresies arise. John gets old. I don't want to give ...

Theology and the Political: The New Debate sic v ([sic] Series)

1 review
Rowan Williams

Duke University Press, 2005

Fantastic Collection
This is a solid contribution to the burgeoning intersection of the religious and the secular (post-Marxist) especially as it relates to the reemergence of political theology (after communism) and the reexamination of St. Paul in continental theory (Agamben, Badiou, Taubes, Zizek, Graham Ward et al). This volume does not ring as a manifesto--there is not enough agreement among the essays to forge ...

The Organization Man

William H. Whyte

University of Pennsylvania Press, 2002

The 1950's Corporation: Friend or foe?
William Whyte, who was an editor at Fortune magazine, argues in this 1956 bestseller that some people not only worked for an organization, but sold their psyches to them as well. These "organization men" willingly subordinated their personal goals and desires to conform to the demands of corporations and other organizations. This is different than modern-day workaholism -- the "organization ...

Elana Bell; Oscar Bermeo; Jai Chakrabarti; Robert Bevan Dalton; Sabrina Hayeem-Ladani; Mara Jebsen; Raymond Daniel Medina; John J. Trause; Scot Lee Williams; Rich Villar; Chad Griffin

Friendlyfire Press, 2005

Worthy purchase for any poetry or art lover
Parse: Alchemy has vividly descriptive poems and thought provoking artwork. I liked all of the authors and the artwork, which is a surprise, because normally I don't like all the authors in a collection. They have individual styles and rhythms that are expressed well. Yet, the editing and compilation of works combines beautifully to smoothly transfer into the next writer. The artwork relates ...

The Christian in Complete Armour

William Gurnall

Moody Publishers, 1999

Inspiring, challenging. You'll grow or put the book away!
Absolutely the most challenging book I have read this year! It has made me evaluate how I look at the things around me and how I interpret events in my life. I have been more transformed into the image of Christ because of this book and I highly reccommend it to anyone who is serious about dying to flesh and living for Christ.

King Henry V (Cambridge School Shakespeare)

William Shakespeare

Cambridge University Press, 1993

A popular play in an edition fabulously rich in helps
This play is best known for the St. Crispian's Day "Band of Brothers" speech given by King Henry just before the battle at Agincourt. It is a powerful speech that rallies people at all times and everywhere. Sir Lawrence Olivier made a film version in 1944 during WWII and Kenneth Branagh made another as recently as 1989. You can count on there being more versions. Epecially so when computers ...

The Civil War Times Illustrated Photographic History of the Civil War, Volume I: Fort Sumter to Gettysburg ...

4 reviews

Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers, 1994

Essential for any Civil War library or collection.
I received this (and volume II "Vicksburg to Appomattox") as a gift from my wife. The articles are incisive, exploring events both leading up to and the during the actual conflict regularly ignored by other works. Although a magnifying device may be required for the text by some readers, the compact size of the two volumes makes them ideal "traveling books." (Ever try packing an oversized book ...

I can't wait for you to write another book. I'll be the first in line to buy one!! Lisa Cycholl, Detroit MI

Call and Response the Riverside Anthology of the African American Literary Tradition (Anthology of ...

3 reviews

Houghton Mifflin Company, 1998

This book sings to me
This is no mere literary anthology. It's a history, a cultural statement and a new way of looking at the African American tradition. Song lyrics weave themselves through the poems, around the stories, under the essays and beyond the non-fiction articles. Where else could anyone find the rhetoric of Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and the old down home Virginny blues of Jimmy Reed? This has the speech ...

Clinical Handbook of Pediatrics

3 reviews

Williams & Wilkins, 1995

Excellent Book for the Wards
This is an excellent book for pediatric residents and medical students in pediatric rotations. The book is organized by symptom e.g. abdominal pain, chronic cough, and it provides a comprehensive list of differential diagnosis, flow charts for diagnosis, as well as short discussions on most common diseases associated with that particular symptom. A must for pediatric rounds.

Insight Guides

Apa Productions, 1998

A great book but not a travel guide
This book has a great introductory value. It shows how diverse and beautiful this country is. The photographs are of outstanding quality. The truth is, some of the places I visited looked much worse than their photographs in this book (like Vigan, for example). One must understand though that this book is NOT a travel guide though (despite some tourist info it contains). It is more like set of ...

The Blue Helmet

William Bell

Doubleday Canada, 2007

Should be more widely available
I don't understand book marketing. Why is this book available in Canada and only available through resellers in the United States? It isn't as though Amazon hasn't figured out international shipping. And, anyway, shipping to Alaska from Canada can't be THAT much different from shipping to Alaska from wherever Amazon books come from in the United States. And, another anyway, I doubt that marketing ...

Dean Smith, Gerald D. Bell, ...

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2005

Must Read for College Basketball fan
Dean Smith's book The Tarheel Way was a great read. This book is for kids 12 and up. Unlike many sports books it relates sports to the real world. Dean Smith and his co-writers do a great job of that. Dean Smith's book talks about the way he ran his basketball team. Dean Smith was all about life lessons and how basketball related to the real world. He does a great job of explaining the ...

Apa Productions, 1995

excellant for all purposes
This was a comprehensive guidebook that gave enough information on all subjects to get you where you were going, tell you how to do things, and alert you to diverse sites and events that were especially interesting. Most important was its way of presenting enough historical, cultural, and political information to make one aware and able to navigate Barcelona's unique environment while at the ...
