Gettysburg as seen through maps
Gettysburg as seen through maps
Much has been written on the 3 days at Gettysburg, and excellent maps have been produced, but Bradley Gottfried concentrates on the battle through examining the various troop movement through detailed maps. He breaks down the entire 3 day battle into major combat segments giving concise accounts while showing the actual troops engaged and how they moved and ...

Tristan: With the Surviving Fragments of the 'Tristan of Thomas' (Penguin Classics)6 reviews
Gottfried von Strassburg
Penguin Classics, 1960
Great literature, great edition
Around the middle of the 12th century, an author we know only as Thomas wrote a French version of the popular legend of the star-crossed lovers Tristan and Ysolt (usually known in English as Tristram and Yseult). Thomas may have been French or English. Most of his poem has been lost. A generation or two later (the dates for both authors are uncertain) a Strassburger named Gottfried wrote a ...

Our Farm: By the Animals of Farm Sanctuary 1 review
Maya Gottfried
Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2010
Special personalities
As an admirer of this author-illustrator team, I thought it couldn't get any better than Good Dog. But Our Farm does. It doesn't get any better than Gottfried's Violet the Pig whose self-image brings a smile whenever I think of it. I have ordered more for children and friends in my life, and recommend it highly.

Discourse on Metaphysics and Other Essays
Gottfried Wilhelm Freiherr von Leibniz
Hackett Publishing Company, 1991
Discourse on Metaphysics and Other Essays contains complete translations of the two essays that constitute the best introduction to Leibniz's complete thought: 'Discourse on Metaphysics', a short course in his metaphysics, written in 1686 at the time his mature thought was just crystalising and 'Monadology' of 1714, a summary of Leibniz's mature metaphysics, written late in his long career. These are supplemented with two essays of special ...

A Terrible Splendor: Three Extraordinary Men, a World Poised for War, and the Greatest Tennis Match Ever ...27 reviews
Marshall Jon Fisher
Crown, 2009
Splendid!!!
Have not read a book this good in a while. It was quite a bit redundant in some places but that just kind of reinforced the surrounding the book is set it. The story is heart wrenching (shoot me! sad books make cry more than anything). It is not just a story about a sport, but something more. Besides it being grounded in history, "A Terrible Splendor" is a book that reminds people of the ...

The Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Workbook: Your Program for Regaining Cognitive Function & Overcoming ...18 reviews
Douglas J. Mason
New Harbinger Publications, 2004
Great for Mild TBI
This book not only explained the biology and physiology behind brain injury but also offered excellent exercises to remediate problem areas. The book also included a self-assessment tool. Having a mild TBI, I found the exercises challenging but appropriate. It's easy to read and entertaining, too!

Schaum's Outline of Engineering Economics6 reviews
Jose Sepulveda, William Souder, ...
McGraw-Hill, 1984
Very helpful
I bought this book to help me study for the fundamentals of engineering exam. My school didn't require an engineering economics course, so this was my first exposure to the material.
The material was concise and easy to understand. Within four chapters I knew everything I needed to know for the FE exam. It was good enough that it inspired me to buy Schaums's Outlines for several other ...

Direct Social Work Practice: Theory and Skills4 reviews

Brooks Cole, 2009
An excellent basic overview of Social Work Practice
I graduated 10 years ago with my Bachelors Degree in Psychology. Now, I find myself in the first semester of a Masters Program for Social Work.
This book has been excellent in "refreshing" my brain on ideas and concepts I learned 10 years ago; not to mention it hit on social work material that had not been addressed in my Psychology program. But do not worry, there is plenty of new info in ...

The Transparent Cabal: The Neoconservative Agenda, War in the Middle East, and the National Interest of Israel25 reviews
Stephen J. Sniegoski
Ihs Press, 2008
The Transparent Cabal
This thoroughly researched & well-documented book should be a MUST for every intelligent voter, for it proves how the neoconservatives and the Israel lobby--unlikely bedfellows though they may be--pushed through an agenda on the bush administration that harmed our military, our nation, our economy, our reputation and the world.
It is a MUST so that we and our congress are not fooled again, ...

The Artist's Guide to Animal Anatomy4 reviews
Gottfried Bammes
Dover Publications, 2004
wonderful training and reference
I was quite pleased with this book. I found that Bammes can be a difficult read, but the illustrations are well worth the investment for the artist studying animal anatomy. He presents a systematic approach of understanding the bones, muscles and surface planes of the torso, front legs, rear legs and head of some iconic animals. Animal anatomy understanding wouldn't be complete without the ...

The Battle of Gettysburg: A Guided Tour2 reviews

Stackpole Books, 1998
Concise yet complete tour guide with great graphics
The editorial reviews on this paperback are right on the mark. It is an excellent 124-page booklet that follows the formal tour guide route. The front tour section starts by providing just the right amount of "selected" detail (with some well-cropped and selected photos)on each of the 16 stops (36 pages). I was able to take the book out and use it as a quick stop tour. I found the positons ...

The Black Death: Natural and Human Disaster in Medieval Europe19 reviews
Robert S. Gottfried
Free Press, 1985
most informative
This is by far the best book regarding The Black Death that I have ever read. While it states that it only covers the first few years in Europe the author does an amazing job of providing a solid foundation of the plague's origins. The author provides the information in a logical order and has done quite a splendid job of putting what was obviously an enormous amount of research into a very ...

The Courtier and the Heretic: Leibniz, Spinoza, and the Fate of God in the Modern World41 reviews
Matthew Stewart
W. W. Norton & Company, 2007
Irreverent but brilliant
Matthew Stewart has retired to pursue a life of contemplation. The world of books would benefit a great deal if more clever people and iconoclasts had the means to do this.
Not only does this tale entertain its reader in a way that academic books are not allowed to, it is surely a serious contribution to the history of Spinoza - even if the academic establishment has grave doubts. It is ...

Fold: Leibniz and the Baroque9 reviews
Gilles Deleuze
Univ Of Minnesota Press, 1992
one of Deleuze's very best
Deleuze's sojourns into the history of philosophy, as everyone knows by now, paint a stark contrast to his "independent" works; the former being wonders of concision and clarity, each one like a diamond cutter, and the latter being drawn-out, often tedious, and in general more difficult to pentrate. The Fold falls somewhere in between the two as he wrote it so late in his life when most ...
