Some Buried Caesar (Unabridged)15 reviews

Fantastic Entry in Nero Wolfe Series
Some Buried Caesar begins with an auto accident as Archie Goodwin is driving Nero Wolfe to an orchid exhibition. Wolfe, in his own considerate way, loses no opportunity to tell everyone he meets that Archie has wrecked his car. While this definitely helps fuel some of the comedy in the book, it's not quite the central plot thread. It turns out that Wolfe and company get sucked into a murder ...

Great read!
I could not put this book down. In this book, you get how society as a whole functioned from building and navigation of ships to courting, weddings and burrials.
I highly recommend this book!

Rh Value Publishing

Rare find- great book
I picked this book up in the bargain rack at a mall bookstore in South Carolina while on a road trip in college. It is still one of my favorite books of all time. I read everything else Berger ever wrote because of this novel. It will make you laugh out loud. The characters are great and the plot is hilarious. As for the previous reviewer- it was made into a movie- a low buget comedy filmed in ...

Great Feuds in Medicine3 reviews
Hal Hellman, Harold Hellman
Wiley, 2001
Serious Fun
What a delightful page-turner this book turned out to be. I needed information, fast, and this sounded like a good buy. It sure was. The author makes very complex ideas and medical procedures understandable for lay people, but doesn't sacrifice the seriousness of his subject. His wry wit does not demean the eminent and not-so-eminent figures he writes about but, rather, brings them back to life. ...

Harlequin, 2002
Terrific fun! Highly recommended
Duets once again provide a hearty dose of love and zany humor with two fun novels. Both stories are delightfully amusing as Carol Finch and Jennifer Drew provide romantic romps that have become a trademark of the Duets line. This Duets selection, part of the Bad Boy Grooms series, will definitely keep the reader highly entertained with its outrageous hilarity. THE FAMILY FEUD by Carol Finch: ...

Ira Heilveil
Perigee Trade, 1998
Great resource for dealing with longstanding family strife.
Hidden undercurrents in families can wreak tremendous damage. Heilveil shows the reader how to unmask and deal with the issues underlying family feuds. One of the best self-help books I've ever read, and it appeared at just the right time to help me through a crisis. Highest praise!

Blood Feud (The Wilderness Series)1 review
David Thompson
Leisure Books, 1999
Great book
David Thompson has done it again. "Blood Feud" is the 26th book in the Wilderness series. I have read all 26. They all have been good but I believe this is one of the best. I can just see the clan family from Georgia or Arkansas as they speak and the words flow through the pages. As usual Nate King and his family handle everything in mountain fashion. Would recommend this book to anyone who ...

A fascinating comparative analysis of a tragic set of events
This trenchant edited volume dissects a series of critical events that, while prominent in the public realm, have yet to receive adequate attention from students of social and political affairs -- the explosive scandals that rocked many nations after public health officials became aware of HIV contamination of domestic and international blood supplies. These events represent not only a ...

This is a delightful book covering a dozen different disputes from the early history of California. Mr. Secrest uses the central San Joaquin Valley and surrounding area to create a wonderful backdrop for many of the stories. Each account is quick and interesting making the entire book a joy to read.

Jesse L. Byock

Ian Myles Slater on: Finding a New Path in Familiar Places
It has been nearly a quarter-century century since UCLA's Professor Jesse Byock completed this book (the copyright date is 1982; Amazon's date of 1993 for the paperback edition is for that format only). It marks an attempt to reverse a long-prevailing view of a whole body of literature, the Sagas of the Icelanders. It is not easy reading; but it repays the effort it takes. It has been well ...

Bloodtaking and Peacemaking: Feud, Law, and Society in Saga Iceland1 review
William Ian Miller
University Of Chicago Press, 1990
Opens a Wide New World...
I read this book while a student in Miller's semi-infamous class "Blood Feuds" at the University of Michigan Law School. I went into the class thinking that it would be interesting and fun, but that I wouldn't learn much from it, since I already had such an extensive familiarity with the Icelandic sagas: as an undergraduate I had translated some of them from Old Norse to English, and I had read ...
