John Rawls

Belknap Press, 2001

Profound
Rawls set himself the difficult task of accomplishing for political philosophy what Kant attempted for moral philosophy; developing a systematic logical rationale for an intuitively attactive body of thought that raises this body of thought to new levels. Kant attempted to find a rational basis for the Pietist Christian ethics that he grew up with; Rawls attempts to find a rational basis for ...

Image Comics, 2008

Great Story
Captain Stoneheart and the Truth Fairy is a wonderful story with amazing graphics. My 6yr old wants to read it again and again. It's an exciting story, with swashbuckling hippos, and a great lesson snuck in at the end. Kids will love the pirates and fairies, and the drawings keeps the adults interested too! Highly recommended.

BookSurge Publishing, 2006

A uniquely creative story that is meant to awaken a child's imagination.
This book is such an amazing example of pure creativity that any child would be delighted to read it. Because of the imaginative quality of the entire book I am left to believe that the authors have a deep understanding of the imaginary nature or essence of childhood. This book won't disappoint you.

Millicent T. Kelly, Jennifer B. Freeman

Demos Medical Pub, 1996

Very highly recommended as a top alternative to medication for kids with epilepsy.
If you have or know a child with epilepsy, THE KETOGENIC DIET: A TREATMENT FOR CHILDREN AND OTHERS WITH EPILEPSY is a 'must' for your consideration: it offers a solution beyond medication which provides a doctor-supervised diet high in fat and low in carbs and proteins, which limits calories - and is proven to control seizures. There've been many advances in the field, so this updated 4th edition ...

For Better or For Worse: Divorce Reconsidered

6 reviews
E. Mavis Hetherington, John Kelly

W. W. Norton & Company, 2003

No Agenda, Except the Truth
This was a most helpful, elucidating book. It maps out what life after divorce is like, on the basis of an enormous, scientific study. Anyone who has been divorced, or is the child of divorced parents (or marrying one) will find in it all the touchstones you need to know about to help you guide your emotional life. After all the political fighting about divorce, here is a book with no agenda, ...

The Transition to Parenthood

4 reviews
John Kelly

Delacorte Press, 1994

The best book I read on preparing to have a new baby
The book focuses on the most important relationship to a baby--how the parent's relate to each other after the first child is born. The stability and love (or lack thereof) in the parental relationship creates the environment in which the child is raised. Men and women have different expectations and reactions to the birth of a child. This book is a long-term case study of what types of ...

Feeling Very Strange: The Slipstream Anthology

4 reviews, 2008

Highly recommended anthology, with involving cross-genre stories from all sources
Feeling Very Strange was one of the most celebrated anthologies of last year. It took me a while to get around to reading it, partly because I had read most of the stories already. But I finally did read it. I reread the stories I had already read, and was darned happy to do so. It really is an outstanding book. It includes some surprising and very effective pieces from outside the core ...

Screen Savers: 40 Remarkable Movies Awaiting Rediscovery

John DiLeo

Hansen Publishing Group, 2007

Make Old Movies New Again
I saw Seven Brides for Seven Brothers for the first time after reading about it in John DiLeo's Screen Savers. I would not have bothered to see it had I not first read DiLeo's analysis and insights regarding this underappreciated film. His essay led me to a much fuller understanding of its beauty, craft and surprising depth, making me want to see what I had previously considered an ...

Chicago Stations & Trains Photo Archive

John Kelly

Iconografix, 2008

Beautifully illustrated and informative
This beautifully illustrated and informative volume on the six historic passenger rail stations in Chicago is a treasure. TRAINS magazine had a feature on Chicago back in 2003, with shorts items on those stations, but this volume provides much more visual detail. My only complaint is that the photos are all B&W. Still, highest recommendation.

Washington Post Books, 1998

Great book!
This is the best guide to the DC and surrounding area, but in some cases this book needs to be updated. Some attractions have relocated or closed since the book was published. Fortunately, the book lists phone numbers and websites so you can make sure of the current location and hours of operation. I would highly recommend it to anyone, with or without kids, who wants to see the sights in DC ...

Till My Tale Is Told: Women s Memoirs of the Gulag

3 reviews

Indiana University Press, 1999

Till My Tale is Told
I think everyone should read this book. It only serves to make us realise how lucky we are and how we, especially in the West, can have nothing to complain about. The sufferings of the various women who in some cases had to fell trees in -50 degrees centigrade for 600grms of bread a day is inspirational. At some points I felt that I was ready fictional accounts as I found it hard to believe ...

Feeling Good: Strength Training with Your Significant Elder

John, B. Payne, J., Jody Kelly

AuthorHouse, 2006

Excellent book if your parents are getting old
This excellent book is written for adults whose parents are getting old and want to stay healthy and vigorous. The emphasis is on smart exercises that are age appropriate for older people. It talks about real people who get around as if they were ten or twenty years younger than their real age. Very readable and practical. I give it 5 stars.

Longmans, Green and Co. Ltd., 1961

Excellent book for the early medieval historian
I am a graduate student in theology and have been doing research for a few years now in early medieval church history, concentrating on corruption and controversy. While recently studying the filioque controversy, I had come across many many bits and pieces about this, but had never found an outline in one place until I came across this book. Kelly writes in a clear and easily understood ...

John., and Kenneth A. Beckett. Kelly

Readers Digest Association, 1991

Great Year Round Gardening
I found this book to be highly helpful for a new gardener. It not only shows combinations, but gives lots of year round tips. A friend brought it to me to browse, I was so impressed I had to buy the book for myself. I also told a few friends - that this is definitely the "1" book you want to have in your gardening library. I can't wait for mine to come, I'm sure my friend is anxious to ...

101 Key Terms in Philosophy and Their Importance for Theology

2 reviews
Kelly James Clark, Richard Lints, ...

Westminster John Knox Press, 2004

A very useful guide...
I have been teaching in introduction to theology and systematic theology course for the past half decade, and if there is one deficit that I find fairly common among the students, it is a lack of knowledge about philosophy. Once upon a time, a young man going to seminary would have a background in liberal arts with a thorough grounding in the basics of philosophy - things have changed! Many ...

Discipleship

2 reviews
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Augsburg Fortress Publishers, 2000

The Heart of Bonhoeffer
The fourth volume, "Discipleship" in the Bonhoeffer works series is an outstanding representation of not just Bonhoeffer the theologian, but Bonhoeffer the man as well. The fresh translation brings back to life the passion with which this man of God lived his life. Bonhoeffer viewed the church of his day as falling away from the teachings of Jesus, but within the pages of, "Discipleship", he ...

John Kelly

Futura, 1978

An excellent WW II aviation novel by a combat aviator
Jack Kelly was a carrier-based night fighter pilot during WW II. He has used his experience to portray a protagonist much like himself--a naval aviator on exchange duty with the Royal Air Force, flying DeHavilland Mosquitos over Occupied Europe. Kelly's intimate knowledge of night flying is shown through his hero, Lt. John Croft, who is assigned to a mission of vital importance ...

The Hillier Gardener's Guide to Trees & Shrubs

3 reviews
John Kelly, John Hillier

David & Charles Publishers, 2001

Superb! Better than Dirr's Hardy Trees and Shrubs
Every connoisseur of ornamental trees & shrubs will love this book. Containing more than 3,000 crisp, very detailed color photos, including the most awesome Cedar of Lebanon photo one can imagine, it is the single best illustrated encyclopedia on the subject of woody ornamentals. Although it is based on ornamental plants that can grow in the United Kingdom, and therefore incomplete for the ...
