The Annotated Sherlock Holmes: The Four Novels and the Fifty-Six Short Stories Complete

Arthur Conan Doyle

Random House Value Publishing, 1988

Two volumes in one...
William S. Baring-Gould (1913-1967) was one of the greatest Sherlock Holmes scholars ever. Publishing several works on Holmes publically and privately, this annotation of the Holmes canon is perhaps his greatest work, and was his last. Published in 1967, the copyright inscription shows that it is held by his widow, Lucile M. Baring-Gould. This particular listing is for the one-volume edition ...

Blackstone Audiobooks, 1999

Great science fiction!
This really is an excellent book, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is best known for Sherlock Holmes, of course, but he was also an excellent science fiction author of his time, up there with Wells, Verne and the rest, and a wonderful writer in general. The Poison Belt starts off rather humorously then become intense, sad, and joyful in turn. Professor Challenger is another larger than life character, and ...

A HAPPENING - Bittersweet Adolescence of a Nation
This book took me weeks to read, not because it was dull but because the copious footnotes at the end of each of the 14 excellent essays demanded investigation. The essays complement one another to present a more complete and cogent view of the antecedents and realities of the counterculture than any other volume I have yet seen on the subject. Counterculture names, say Braunstein and Doyle, ...

Latino Success

Latino Success
A great book that shows one does not have to negate who they are in order to be successful. In fact, it even helps understand how to proudly embrace a Latino background as part of one's identity. I would recommend this book for Latinos looking to enter the business world in the US, anyone interested in the Latino experience in the US, and anyone that has experienced the embarrasing moment of ...

The French Revolution: A Very Short Introduction

13 reviews

Oxford University Press, USA, 2001

Great Introduction to the French Revolution
Lets face it: many people point to the French Revolution as the source of innumerable subsequent political ideological movements, but when pressed, nevertheless have difficulty describing the essential elements and personages involved in the actual event. One likely cause for this phenomena is the habit of "aping" the attributions of others without really knowing the subject matter itself -- the ...

Jansenism: Catholic Resistance to Authority from the Reformation to the French Revolution (Studies in ...

William Doyle

Palgrave Macmillan, 2000

William Doyle on Jansenism
This is an excellent short but detailed introduction to Jansenism. In only 90 pages of narrative Doyle deals with the various manifestations of Jansenism in Europe, not merely France and the Low Countries, with many gems of detail not easily found elsewhere, such as biographical data on French Appellant Bishops. First class and highly recommended, and an encouragement to further research.

Don Tapping, 2008

A LEAN LESSON FOR THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
I found this book very to the point and practical for the many trades we deal with. As our business has been sharply impacted by the downturn in new home sales, we have to become much more efficient for the few buyers that are out there. Simply Lean for Construction gave us insight into how we can improve our supplier relationships (sub contractors mostly), while improving our internal ...

Fairyland: In Art and Poetry

Metropolitan Museum of Art New York, 2001

A SUPERB PAIRING OF ART AND POETRY
British artist Richard Doyle (1824-1883), the son of a portrait painter and caricaturist, may be best remembered by some as the creator of the cover design for Punch, which was used for over a century. He also illustrated a number of children's books and created beguiling paintings of fairies, the wee folk. It is the latter that is used to illustrate this lovely keepsake volume. Doyle's ...

Super Reader
A lovely origin story. Dr. Watson, returned from a war and in need of lodgings is led to Baker Street. In this fine location resides one Sherlock Holmes. They are soon on the trail of a mystery that involves a corpse, and a word scrawled in blood on a wool. Then there are dodgy mormons and a bit of wild west action.

Nicely Done
Timson is an able interpreter of these beloved tales. Each character has individuality and the overall tone is faithful to Conan Doyle. The musical interludes are used sparingly and effectivley lending a heightened sense of atmosphere. Naxos is to be commended for putting the entire Holmes canon before an admiring public in these fine new editions.

Doyle, William

Blackstone Audiobooks, Inc., 2008

FANTASTIC book; very well written and researched
We can nitpick and split hairs 'til the cows come home about the sub title, etc., but the simple fact is this: this is a great, great book. Very well written and researched and lots of good information on the (management/ administrative) styles of Presidents from FDR to Clinton. Quite a page turner and hard to put down; good photo section, too. This book will make you appreciate the job of the ...

The book is divided into three parts: Writings on Revolutionary Origins Since 1939, The Breakdown of the Old Regime, and The Struggle for Power. And in each of these sections important chapters are ...

An American Insurrection: The Battle of Oxford, Mississippi, 1962

William Doyle

Doubleday, 2001

I was there on that very morning.
I am 62 years old now. On that morning when the 716th MP Battalion was brought to the campus, I was in one of the groups exactly as pictured in the middle of the book. At the time I had no idea what the big picture was. I just did as I was told. I was in the army for about a year prior to that day, but never had live ammunition except for practice. We had our gas masks on and our bayonets fixed. ...

An escape book!
Another classic adventure which uses the written word instead of computer graphics to make you visualize this mysterious world of sudden death by million year old living beasts and proto-humans. Get your best Amazon River basin map out and see if you locate this wonderous plateau. If you have seen the movie, you only have half the story. Read the book. For fun, become familiar with the story ...

An American Insurrection: James Meredith and the Battle of Oxford, Mississippi, 1962

William Doyle, 2008

TRUE STORY THAT READS LIKE A NOVEL
William Doyle brilliantly recreates a little remembered incident that challenged America to its core: the attempt of an Air Force veteran named James Meredith to exercise his right to go to school. That would, on the surface, seem an easy task. However the year was 1962, the school was the University Of Mississippi, and the citizen was African American. The battle which took place left an ...

This is Great!
I have listened to many of the Sherlock Holmes recordings in the marketplace. The BBC Radio Complete Conan Doyle Sherlock Holmes Cd set outshines them all. The production values are outstanding, and Clive Merrison is a great Holmes. Don't let the price scare you - it works out to just over $2.50 per CD
