Forgotten Continent: The Battle for Latin America's Soul

7 reviews
Michael Reid

Yale University Press, 2008

An Indispensable Guide to the Latin America of the 21st Century
Mr. Reid, a writer for The Economist magazine, arguably the best magazine in the world, delivers us an extremely concise, well-written book on a region that America turned its back on after fostering democratic reforms in the 80's, but one which has now been cast to the forefront of world affairs due in large part to the huge commodities boom, the flood of investment into their capital markets, ...

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2008

My Favorite Farquhar Book So Far
I've read all Michael Farquhar's books and I'm constantly amazed by the way he makes history so much fun. In this latest collection, he assembles stories of some of the most fascinating Americans you've never heard about--from the Mayflower murderer to the mother of Mother's Day. Each chapter is a delight, focusing on a different neglected notable who, as Farquhar writes in his Introduction, "may ...

Potomac Books Inc., 2001

Maybe the best book I ever read
Ive read this book twice. Once in HighSchool and then when I got out of the military. I must say after facing hardships my time in the service I felt it much easier to really begin to understand the hardships Sajer faces in this epic journey on the Eastern Front. Sajer describes the hardships of the German Soilder on the Eastern Front like no other. He takes great strides to explain to the ...

Wizards of the Coast, 2001

Return to the best setting ever!
I was very unsettled when the old parent company TSR went under in 1997. I loved the lavish boxed set filled with maps and cards. The novels was what it was about for myself. I loved the Dragonlance Chronicles in the mid 1980s. Then I happened upon the old gray box called the Forgotten Realms. I thought it revolutionary as an open-ended adventure setting. I didnt have many friends interested in ...

Great Depression revisited
This is a good look at the Great Depression from a different point of view. It was hard to put down. Really insightful as to Roosevelt's thinking.

Pass this book on to others-share it with the world.
I was speaking with a friend of mine when I mentioned a faux pas that I had made several years ago in an Armenian grocery, knowing that my friend is Armenian and knowing a little about the genocide of the Armenian people. He surprised me by telling me about this book and recommended it to me highly. I was further surprised when he told me his cousin wrote the book about his own father. Not ...

Gregory A. Freeman

NAL Hardcover, 2007

If you don't study history you are condemned to repeat it.
Just finished a great book called "The Forgotten 500" by Gregory Freeman. It recounts a risky rescue mission launched during WWII to save over 500 American and Allied flyers who had bailed out over Yugoslavia. The airmen were saved by the local Serbia people. The Serbs saved them from the Nazis at great personal risk. And fed from their meager rations. Many Serbs died for harboring US airmen. ...

The Forgotten Ways: Reactivating the Missional Church

25 reviews
Alan Hirsch

Brazos Press, 2007

Fantastic! Provokes good thinking and self examination!
Alan's written a great reminder: The Truth of the Word is increasingly being hidden from view by the organized church. Unintentionally perhaps, but it's the net effect. Additionally, the not-yet-Christians have gotten an increasingly distorted view of who Jesus is and what He said. Alan also presents and consistently reinforces a great reminder that it's not a pastor's job to tell others ...

Sacrifice of the Widow (Forgotten Realms: The Lady Penitent, Book 1)

Lisa Smedman

Wizards of the Coast, 2007

Very Good Book
This was a very good book. Stedman ties together sever sub plots that remain from the last book of the War of the Spider Queen "Resurrection".....which was a train wreck. She carries on with the characters from that series and makes them work. This book was very entertaining and an easy read. Steadman made keeping up with the old characters and sever new one easy to do. Lisa Stedman did a very ...

The Forgotten Door (Apple Paperbacks)

Alexander Key

Scholastic Paperbacks, 1986

A gentle, thoughtful gem
Like so many others, I read this lovely book when I was much younger, and it has remained with me to this day. It's a deceptively simple story, told directly & clearly, which poses quite a few difficult ethical & moral questions about the world we take for granted. Yet it's never preachy or heavy-handed. Through the eyes of Little Jon, we not only see the flaws of our own society, with its ...

Dreams: God's Forgotten Language

John A. Sanford

HarperOne, 1989

This book gave me the power that I never knew I had within..
During the course of reading this book, it gave me a sense of the power that I never realized existed. I learned to use my dreams for God to talk to communicate with me about so many areas of my life that I seemed to avoid and fear. In addition, in my dreams, it was there that I learned to face my fears and reall see the shadows of who I really am as my TRUE self. If you are ready to learn ...

Ascendancy of the Last (Lady Penitent)

Lisa Smedman

Wizards of the Coast, 2008

Lovely conclusion
Up front, I am a Lolth-worshipping drow lover. As such I loved this book, it was my favorite out of the three which recovered amazingly the stumblings of the second one. The plot as usual for Smedman was nicely woven together and in some ways rivals the skill of Salvatore's for writing about drow, displaying an excellent understanding of them. In a similar way to WotSQ, this series at times ...

Forgotten Algebra

Barron's Educational Series, 2003

Helpful book, and I'm already great at Algebra!
I sat down, opened this book, and then I learned. I already know algebra, I'm great with it, but I thought I should refresh some skills. I suddenly realized that there were so many shortcuts I could be taking. I got faster at algebra. The hard questions on the SAT became easy for me (on the subject of algebra). If you need practice, use this book. If you don't know algebra, you will learn ...

Forgotten New York: Views of a Lost Metropolis

Kevin Walsh

Collins, 2006

wonderful guide to the real New York
Every large city has its famous landmarks & signature structures which define it in the eyes of the world. For New York, the statue of Liberty, the Empire State building, Times Square and, after 9/11, the absence of the World Trade Towers. These are the sights that travellers and tourists want to see, and having seen them, think that they have "done" New York. But they have surely missed the ...

Forgotten Armies: The Fall of British Asia, 1941-1945

11 reviews
Christopher Bayly, Tim Harper

Belknap Press, 2006

Well told story
This book is a facinating retelling of the fall of the British Raj. The authors do not spare the Allies because of the misbehavior of the Japanese. One can see the consequences of the colonial attitude to the native southeast Asians--the British really did reap what they sowed. Also the authors do an excellent job of describing the terrible position of the people of Malaysia, Burma, and ...
