Cornell University Press, 2002

Great book for history buffs and builders alike!
What a great book to give the reader a background about the history of the Adirondack. It not only tells you how to build a Guideboat blut it explains why it part was designed the way it was. It is truly a must read for anyone who is interested in Adirondack history, small wooden boats or woodworking. I can not recommend this book any higher.

Crossway Books, 2006

Celebration Of Truth
John Piper shows the solid and sober Christian Athanasius was: 'He is surrounded by an atmosphere of truth. Not a single miracle of any kind is related to him. The saintly reputation of Athanasius rested on his life and character alone, without the aid of any reputation for miraculous power.' pg 41, quoted from Archibald Robertson. The fourth and final instalment of 'The Swans Are Not ...

Contending with Contradictions

Lexington Books, 2001

A long overdue contribution to the study of Cold War history and Chinese foreign policy, "Contending with Contradictions" provides an incisive interpretation of China's relations with Poland and its irreversible impact on the communist world. Mercy A. Kuo provides a unique contribution to the miniscule corpus of literature on the subject. Her approach is threefold: Kuo offers a comprehensive interpretation of the historical relevance of the ...

Pauline E. Hopkins

Oxford University Press, USA, 1991

Historically important
Written in 1899, at the end of the heyday of the sentimental romance genre, this was--I feel--a subversive application of the style. Likely written for a white audience, the African-American authoress was determined to counter some of the more pernicious rumors about blacks, especially black women. To use today's terms, Hopkins was floating her own memes, including the idea that the mulatto, ...

Zachary Lockman

Cambridge University Press, 2004

Possibly a must read
Zach Lockman's "Contending Visions of the Middle East" traces the development of present "Western" attitudes towards the Middle East/Islam/Arabs (which he argues have been erroneously conglomerated) in the West and specifically in America. His arguments, while not particularly new or unique, are well developed and provides a student of Middle East studies or the general reader not only with ...

An Extraordinary Book - Will Enlighten and Challenge Us All
I could not put this book down. The author explores the various sides, themes, and politics of the Balkan crisis. No voice is silenced but all voices are given time to speak. It is fair, accurate, and unbiased in its look at the terrible crimes perpetrated on the Bosnian people. Beautifully written and full of compassionate insights.

Routledge, 2000

How We Got Here/What We Have Here/Where Shall We Go
So your interested in globalization? Well, this book takes a look at it through the lenses of the American far-left (Cavanagh, Wallach)AND the far-right (Buchanan, Perot). How do these ideologies merge? Well, they don't, but the book does examine how they arise from American ideologies of yesteryear. And that is really the book's strong point. How are American cultural beliefs exceptionalism, ...

Theory and Metatheory in International Relations: Concepts and Contending Accounts
Fred Chernoff

Palgrave Macmillan, 2007

The book is an introduction to new debates in international relations. It shows why anyone who wants the best answer to foreign policy problems, like how to deal with North Korea?s nuclear arms program, must look at debates in IR theory, and also debates in metatheory. The latter involve questions about whether IR is much or little like the natural sciences, whether prediction is possible, and the like. The book poses policy questions ...

Guarding the Gospel of Grace: Contending for the Faith in the Face of Compromise (Galatians and Jude
David M. Levy

Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry, 1997

GUARDING THE GOSPEL OF GRACE: CONTENDING FOR THE FAITH IN THE FACE OF COMPROMISE?It?s amazing how even the ?littlest? misunderstanding about God?s grace can complicate the Christian life. When we lack peace, joy, or victory in our walk with Christ, oftentimes it?s because we?re not clear on how God?s grace works in our lives. In some cases, the little misunderstandings can lead to more tragic results. It?s safe to say that much ...

This book is principally about the fighter aircraft of WWII and what they were like to fly. Ron Collis joined the RAF in 1940 when he was 19.

Contending With Words: Composition and Rhetoric in a Postmodern Age

1 review

Modern Language Association of America, 1991

Getting dated, but still provocative
In 1992, when this book was published, it was an excellent introduction into current arguments in the field of writing instruction. As a publication of the Modern Language Association--an organization dominated by literature teachers--it was also a great primer for understanding how literary theory could be used to deepen teaching (where actual literature teachers usually just disparaged the ...
