Enchanting, frightening, and original
"The Face In The Frost" is a richly imaginative tale of two wizards, Prospero (not the one you're thinking of) and Roger Bacon, who must overcome a third wizard, the evil Melichus before he destroys them, and a lot of other folks as well. Even if you think you've heard this story before, you've never come across a variation like this one. The closest analogue that I can come up with is ...

JavaServer Faces in Action (In Action series)

Kito Mann

Manning Publications, 2005

Rewarding book - if you work with it
Let me start by pointing out that his target audience includes people who currently develop Java web applications. So its fair then to say that if you are new to JSP and servlets, this isn't quite the book for you. So forget about getting any hand holding with setting up a servlet container or a gentle introduction to JSP actions. That said, if you know the top end of a web application from ...

An entertaining book.
This book is just what I expected. It will be a fun read and will fill in the gaps in my Fench which will enable me to better understand and to speak casual French. It may also help me to better understand rapid casual dialogue in French films. Je jubile!

New Faces in New Places: The Changing Geography of American Immigration

With immigrant communities popping up in so many new places, questions about ethnic diversity and immigrant assimilation confront more and more Americans. New Faces in New Places , edited by distinguished sociologist Douglas Massey, explores today's ...

Global Jihad: The Future in the Face of Militant Islam

Patrick Sookhdeo

Isaac Publishing, Inc., 2007

We all need to read this important book
Patrick Sookhdeo is well aware of the global terror campaign. But he is also aware that there is much more to this struggle than just suicide bombers. There are theological, political, moral and ideological issues as well. Thus this book is not entitled "Global Terror," for that would give a misleading impression of what this battle is really all about. Terrorism is simply one facet of a ...

Face in the Abyss

Abraham Merritt

Donald M. Grant Publishers, 1991

Not at all what I expected but still a great book
By the title and the chapter names of this book, I expected it to be set in a more Tolkien setting. This book starts out in what I believe to be 20th century South America. When you first read it, you expect a sort of Indiana Jones storyline. Boy does that change in a hurry. I won't spoil the whole story but I will say this, the imagery is fantastic. I was able to picture vividly, so much of ...

Betty Louise Bell

University of Oklahoma Press, 1995

Tears, Laughter and Appreciation
In Betty Louise Bell's Faces in the Moon she takes a Native American story away from the stereotypes, creating a narrative of the struggle of Cherokee women. Her story beautifully weaves the themes of poverty, self-identity, and tradition through a spiral of time and character. The narrator, Lucie, revisits the memories of her life while facing the impending death of her mother. Because Faces in ...

Basic Books, 1996

Attack the Right...and TOTALLY ignore Leftist murderers
Pathetic...how can anyone discuss the "racist right" and ignore the overwhelming hate the left has for ordinary White Christian people? Blacks rioting and murdering for "social justice" are treated with kid gloves because.."Oh they were just addressing White racism"...PUHLEEEZE... Folks there is something going on with the White people of America. They are hammered constantly with ...

In the Face of Suffering: The Philosophical-Anthropological Foundations of Clinical Ethics.

Jos Welie

CREIGHTON UNIVERSITY PRESS, 1999

like a good wine, it is well worth the special order
One of the best books recently published in medical ethics. The caring physician will be delighted at this passionate, yet well argued non-utilitarian essay. This is a unique opportunity for bioethicists, patients and healthcare providers to get acquainted with continental thinkers, rarely sited in the other side of the Atlantic. Prof. Welie outreaches well beyond the scope of bioethics jargon ...

Churchill Livingstone, 2003

The most useful, helpful practical guide to understanding.
This book answers questions about my self, my health, about others and their health with a breathtaking generosity of goodness. The goodness of everyone conveyed by the author is not to be confused with a sugar coated sweetness but an honest look at the options we have in perceptions. The gentle teachings conveyed pictorially via facial markings gives the questioning readers a bright ray of ...

In His Face: A Prophetic Call to Renewed Focus

Bob Sorge

Oasis House, 1994

An outstanding book on finding the heart of God
Bob Sorge's journey for the past 6 1/2 years is one of heartache, trial, the temptation to quit, and ultimately the story of a servant of God who finds his primary purpose in the face of the Creator. This book chronicles the period of time that the author calls a "season", meaning that coupled with the faith that God heals and makes whole is a deeper need built within us to find our Savior as ...

Living in the Face of Death: Advice from the Tibetan Masters

1 review
Glenn H. Mullin

Snow Lion Publications, 1998

Good collection, but not for beginners
This is a nice collection of works that deal with the Tibetan Buddhist approach to death. Note that it is basically an edited volume of translated pieces, and as such is not perhaps the best introduction to the subject. The first two translations in the volume, especially "Death and the Bodhisattva Trainings" are very instructive and inspiring. Many of the other translations, however, are ...

Touching, immensely moving and beautifully produced.
Living Proof: Courage in the Face of AIDS I have been providing emotional support to people living with HIV/AIDS for more than five years in Australia and while living in Brazil, I had the experience of losing a good friend with AIDS. I consider Carolyn Jones' book - Living Proof: Courage in the Face of AIDS, the best book ever produced about HIV and AIDS. It summarizes it all. Not only through ...

McGraw-Hill, 2007

A teacher's review - Great supplement for most students
This is neat! Do not mistake it for a text or curriculum to actually learn the Spanish language. However, as a supplement, it is a really neat way to increase your vocabulary, as well as learn idioms, phrases, and countless ways to express yourself. My Spanish 2 students enjoyed passing this around in class while they were working on a recent story project. To describe characters, or yourself, ...
