southern author
I am a staff member for a major southern magazine. We get a mountain of mail every day... manuscripts, books for placement in our magazine. Most of what we receive as far as humor goes is not what our staff and colleagues would buy. A reader sent in this book for possible review by our magazine here in Alabama and I just had to order more copies for my friends! This is really an outstanding ...

Very Positive book
The book was given to me as a gift. I cannot tell you how great it was, to start a Sunday Morning out, in such a positive way. Jesse James has a great sense of humor , but still profound. His namesake would be proud. I hope he does another book soon. I am a new fan. Very impressed!

A COOL BLAST OF BOND
If I may wax nostalgic for a moment, I can still recall the very first James Bond movie that I sever saw...actually the first three Bond movies...it was sometime in the late 60's or early 70's and my mom took me and my brothers to the drive-in theater to see a triple feature of Goldfinger, Dr. No, and From Russia with Love...in that order. I know I never made it past the credits of From Russia ...

Collins Press, 2005

A history and a reference to any dedicated jewelry student studying Cork craftsmanship
Cork Silver And Gold: Four Centuries Of Craftsmanship was published to coincide with the exhibition in the Crawford Gallery Cork, but stands alone as well as the first to detail the work of Cork silversmiths and goldsmiths, and will appeal to specialty art collections. Both public and private holdings were culled for this feature: what results is a display which will serve as both a history and a ...

C. Jack Trickler

Cork Hill Press, 2003

A Bible History for Regular Folks
This is an easy to read history of the writing of the Bible, as well as of the time periods when the writing took place. It's a great book for those of us who would like to know more about the Bible but are intimidated by the the overly scholarly or religious tomes covering the Bible. While it's not a suspense novel like Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, it has as many belief shaking suprises, that ...

Hugh Duffy

Cork Hill Press, 2004

A College Teacher's View of a Great Book
This reviewer is rarely impressed with contemporary books on philosophy or theology. Yet, this writer was most favorably impressed with Father Duffy's QUEEN OF THE SCIENCES: THE SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CATHOLIC THEOLOGY AND LIBERAL LEARNING. While the book requires careful study,it is well worth the effort. Chapters one and two are good introductions to the use of reason in effecitve ...

Olga Ots

Hats Off Books, 2003

A "must read" book about Castro's betrayal.
Olga's vivid details about her life growing up under Fulgencio Batista and later Fidel Castro Ruz are very revealing, even to those who also lived this nightmare. An incredible account of Fidel's manipulation and betrayal of the revolution, resulting in Cuba's subservience to the Russians.

Geraldine Stout

Cork University Press, 2003

Very informative
A very comprehensive, informative book. I had seen it in Ireland, but didn't want to carry it home. I was so happy it find it here on Amazon. The information is well presented, probably more than most people need, but it is all there. Great illustrations.

Maura's Boy: A Cork Childhood

Christy Kenneally

Irish American Book Company, 1997

What a great life this boy had!
You'd expect -- particularly if you read much Dickens -- that this short, personal history would be dim and depressing. It is anything but that! While Christy Kenneally may have lived in great poverty of life-style, he didn't life in poverty of love, laughter and joy. Antics, adventures and affection show through every page, every character and every story. I loved it!

Atlas of the Irish Rural Landscape (Irish Cultural Studies)

2 reviews

Cork University Press, 1997

accessible and non-trite treatment of the irish landscape
This book explains the Ireland that you are likely to see when you go there. It is a welcome change from the countless "magical/tragical/literary ireland", photography books that are full of pseudo poetic descriptions, photos of freckle faced redhead kids and nuns on bicycles. It demonstrates much of the development of the towns, villages and even the houses in an intelligent and clear manner ...
