Counterpart: A South Vietnamese Naval Officer's War

6 reviews
Kiem Do, Julie Kane

US Naval Institute Press, 1998

A superb book for every American!
As a "young" Vietnamese -American who did not participate in the war, I find the book entertaining and educating. This is a book every family, especially Vietnamese American, should own because it is so well written with a sincere heart and offers an accurate realistic view from an ex Navy commander from South Vietnam. The more I read the more I admire and respect him for sharing all his ...

Robin Hood: A Cinematic History of the English Outlaw and His Scottish Counterparts

1 review
Scott Allen Nollen

McFarland & Company, Inc., Publishers, 1999

Several books in one
There are several theories and much speculation about whether there was a real Robin Hood or a combination of heroes and characters that compose Robin Hood. Understanding these theories help to understand the cinematic robin hoods. The first half of this book is not the cinematic Robin Hood but a tight and cohesive history of great Brittan with an emphasis on the origin of the Robin Hood ...

Linda Dillow

Thomas Nelson, Inc., 1977

Every Wife Should Read and Reread this Book!!!
I have been using this book as the companion text for a marriage seminar course I teach for nearly twenty years. You will not find another "marriage manual" that is as scriptural, and practical as this book. Linda is a talented writer who has been able to compose the perfect handbook for every wife. A very interesting, entertaining, and effective book. (...)

The Hidden Heroes of the Gospels: Female Counterparts of Jesus

1 review
Joseph A. Grassi

Liturgical Press, 1989

The Hidden Heroes of the Gospel
One of the most exciting results of modern biblical scholarship has been the rediscovery of the Gospels as narrative drama. Joseph Grassi's research in this area has led to the surprising insight that women are the real heroes of the Gospels when the dramatic art of the Gospels is understood. They are more often the models of the ideal disciple who has absolute faith in the person of Jesus and ...

Creative Counterpart : Becoming the Woman, Wife, and Mother You Have Longed To Be

12 reviews

Thomas Nelson, 2003

Helpful and concise
I am really enjoying this book. I can tell this will be the type of book I'd read over and over again. Linda Dillow is so "real" and uses so much scripture in her examples and applications to living the Christian woman's life.

Robin Hood: A Cinematic History of the English Outlaw and His Scottish Counterparts

3 reviews
Scott Allen Nollen

McFarland, 2008

From literature to legend on the screen.
As with his books on ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON and SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE, Nollen's ROBIN HOOD: A CINEMATIC HISTORY explores the transformation of a piece of literature into a motion picture, but here the author goes back 1,000 years to provide a look at how history becomes legend becomes literature becomes drama becomes film. The author does an impressive job of following the tale of Robin Hood ...

Encyclopedia of Witchcraft and Demonology: An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Witches, Demons, Sorcerers and ...

Rossell Hope Robbins

Book Sales, 1974

Essential Reading for any Occult Scholar
This book, especially in Hardcover(black with gold lettering) has a very authentic feel to it. The pages are thick and rough, the type face and black woodcut style illustrations, not to mention the information provided give it more "wow" than you would expect from older books on Witchcraft. The original was printed in 1959; I checked it out from the library for years just to have it around until ...

Hans Galinsky

Oberlin College, 1991

Interview by proxy
If you were too young and/or stupid to interview your grandparents from "the old country", here's your chance to learn about what it was like for them to emigrate to a strange new country while still a teenager. Thoroughly readable, informative, and enjoyable. Will enhance your respect and deepen your love. You will see pieces of your own family, your own history

Criminalising Harmful Conduct: The Harm Principle, its Limits and Continental Counterparts

1 review

Springer, 2007

A brilliant book on criminal legal philosophy
What is usually missing in modern discussions on criminalization, in particular the debate, which conduct should be prohibited through the criminal law, is some sort of criteria, reasoning or principles. This book offers exactly that. I particularly admire the fact that it is normative in its approach and that the author makes this clear right at the start, presenting (offering) her liberal ...

UNDERSTANDING BENG-RE: Bridging the Gap Between the English Language and Its American Counterpart

8 reviews
Moore

Citadel, 1998

No havering here
Margaret Moore's guide, 'Understanding British English: Bridging the Gap between the English Language and its American Counterpart' is an interesting, dictionary-style work which seeks to explain thousands of phrases which, while using words readily recognised by Americans, have a meaning or assumed context in British English (or other British variants, such as Australian or New Zealand England) ...

1234 Read: The Phonics Counterpart
Allan Forst Geimer

Trafford Publishing, 2006

The best way to learn to read is phonics. But there needs to be a better way to teach common NON-Phonetic words. We developed a counterpart to phonics by analyzing the usage of all the words in the English language to see which words are used most frequently. We found that 1,576 words are used 62% of the time. Teaching phonics while learning the 1,576 most common words first makes learning to read more effective. 1234 Read: The Phonics ...

Counterparts

12 reviews
Gonzalo Lira

Jove, 1999

A very sophisticated, complex first novel
Gonzalo Lira's Counterparts is a dynamite read. It is so rare to find something new in the thriller genre and it is especially surprising in a first novel. Lira writes about the FBI and CIA like a veteran. The plot is complex and full of real surprises - and some rather ODD moments. All the characters are interesting creations. They are all extreme in one way or another, but fleshed out and ...

Southern Counterpart to Lewis and Clark: The Freeman and Custis Sccounts of the Red River Expeditiom of 1806 ...

2 reviews
Dan Flores

University of Oklahoma Press, 1986

An intriguing study of forgotten history
Few people living today know that President Thomas Jefferson launched two expeditions into the Louisiana territory purchased in 1803; Lewis and Clark to the north, Freeman and Custis to the south. Lewis and Clark have been covered thoroughly, even triumphally, because they completed their task. Freeman and Curtis have been ignored because they were intercepted by Spanish soldiers after ...
