Neither Fear Nor Favor: Deputy United States Marshal John Tom Sisemore 4 reviews
Wesley Harris
RoughEdge Publications, 1999
Family history revealed
What a joy to read this book!!!! So much history and excitement. John Tom Sisemore is my great-grandfather. I remember reading newspaper clippings about the murder but was never provided this much information of the incident and the events leading up to it. Mr. Harris has done an outstanding job of honoring the life and death of a wonderful lawman. One of the best books I have read in a ...

Neither Waif Nor Stray: The Search For A Stolen Identity4 reviews
Perry Allan Snow, Perry Snow
Universal Publishers, 2000
Neither Waif Nor Stray: The Search For A Stolen Identity
Powerful! A must read for anyone who suspects they may have a Home Child or Orphan Train Rider ancestor. Mr. Snow gives hope for researching these lost ancestors. Too many people do not know that these children were placed on both sides of the US/Canadian border. Mr. Snow's analysis of the psychological effects should help Home Children and their descendants to understand how this shameful ...

Dear Mom: Why Raising Four Boys was Neither Boring nor Monotonous5 reviews
Jean Willett
Goblin Fern Press, 2004
Warm, loving, funny!
Jean and Dann certainly had a full life! It's very interesting to read how life differed then to now. I also had the pleasure to meet Jean and Dann this week, and knowing them in person makes the book even more real for me. They are incredibly nice people! If you get a chance to read this book, you won't regret it. In fact, get one for yourself and one as a gift for someone. I'm going to save ...

Neither Black Nor White: Slavery and Race Relations in Brazil and the United States4 reviews
Carl N. Degler
Prentice Hall College Div, 1971
Perhaps the best book on race relations ever
By comparing and contrasting the two separate, though similar
contries, Degler not only provides a world class history of
the institution of slavery in both countries, but forces the
reader to examine their own prejudices in the matter. Perhaps
it is the best book written upon the subject, and is a valuable
addition to historians, socialogists, and anyone interested
in understanding the ...

Eva-Lena Rehnmark
Pomegranate Communications, 2000
Absolutely Incredible
I would suggest this book to anyone!! Eva-Lena Rehnmark has done such a fine job of telling the story of wolves and has some of the most incredible illustrations that I have ever seen done of wolves. The illustrations and story worked so incredibly well together, and I am excited for the next book that she makes, whatever the subject. ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE AND EXCELLENT BOOK!!

Neither Virgin nor Martyr : Holiness in the Third Christian Millennium4 reviews
Donald F. Jr. Kilburg
Dorrance Pub Co, 2000
Neither Virgin nor Martyr
Neither Virgin nor Martyr is a thorough and fascinating illustration of the history of sainthood in the Catholic Church. If offers much insight into the lives of these heroic people and the process by which such recognition is granted. More importantly, Neither Virgin Nor Martyr leads us to a deeper understanding of how we, as a church, have arrived where we today find ourselves, not only in the ...

A Big New Free Happy Unusual Life: Self Expression and Spiritual Practice for Those Who Have Time for Neither7 reviews
Nina Wise
Broadway, 2002
Brilliant and funny
Nina Wise subtitles her wonderful book, "Self-expression and spritual practice for those who have time for neither." And she could have added, for those who don't habitually shop at the Self-Improvement section of the store. I had my qualms but I had first heard the author's name from an impeccable source so I carried on and bought it. I quickly realised this wasn't Buddhism Lite or ...

Neither Beasts Nor Gods: Civic Life and Public Good3 reviews
Francis Kane
Southern Methodist University Press, 1998
Fantastic book for anyone interested in political philosophy
I had the fortune of reading this book (in manuscript form) in one of Dr. Kane's classes. He is an excellent professor and an excellent writer. Several years later, many of my views of social discourse and community involvement were shaped by Dr. Kane. Perhaps the most vital lesson from this book is the way in which speech, in its most poignant form, is action and action, in its purest form, ...

Alas Yugoslavia!
Neither Red nor Dead, an autobiographical memoir by Dr. Stevo Julius (Medvista, Ann Arbor, MI, www.medvistaa.com, Amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com) is a great read!

Neither Liberal Nor Conservative Be: An Action Plan for People Disgusted By Polarized Politics2 reviews
Larry R. Bradley
Kindred Minds Enterprises, 2006
Great perspective of today's political landscape - and what to do about it
Mr. Bradley has a great way of breaking down very complicated political concepts into a very easy-to-read, and sometimes even fun, book that really helped me understand my own political philosophy. I've always wondered why I wonder -- do I have my dad's political views or my own? I'm 45 and I think Mr. Bradley's book gave me my own direction for the first time in my life. I can now sift through ...

The best summer read!
This book is absolutely incredible! The story pulls the reader in right from the first page as we begin to look into the lives of the characters. The diverse backgrounds of the characters as well as the different locales can appeal to every reader. I couldn't put the book down and it took me all of 8 hours to finish it. A must-have for your romance novel collection! I can't wait for the ...

Neither Ballots Nor Bullets: Women Abolitionists and the Civil War (Nation Divided)1 review
Wendy Hamand Venet
University of Virginia Press, 1991
Essential American Women's History Study
Venet writes an in-depth examination of early grass-roots political power of women. This often unexamined subject goes beyond the single person biographies commonly available and weaves a well-researched tapestry of people, places, and ideology. Highly recommended, especially for those looking for another view of Civil War Era women. Highly readable.

Neither Do I Condemn1 review
E. Robert Palmer
Johnson Publishing Company, 1951
Excellent account of what we need to do for our children's health
Sue Palmer is an experienced writer and broadcaster on children?s education. This very useful book makes a strong case for some traditional values. Our children need to develop focus, self-restraint and empathy; they need to learn to do as you would be done by; and they need presence, not presents, parents who listen and talk to their children. She recommends real food, less of sugar?s empty ...

Neither Victims Nor Executioners2 reviews
Albert Camus
Housmans Bookshop, 1975
Albert Camus' discourse on peace
Camus sets forth his views on how peace should be universal but how it is unlikely to occur in the near future due to rising and conflicting world powers. This is more of a position paper than a book, but is rather deep.

Neither to Laugh Nor to Weep: A Memoir of the Amenian Genocide2 reviews
Abraham H. Hartunian
Armenian Heritage Pr, 1986
Shockingly superb
This was one of the first books I read about the Armenian Genocide, and probably one of the best--definitely the most detailed. Hartunian is a superb writer and takes the reader in (like all the greats can do) so that they feel like they're there. His vocabulary drills a permanent picture into the reader's mind. I still have images of how terrifying it must have been to be in Hartunian's shoes, ...

Neither a Candle Nor a Pitchfork1 review
Joyce Porter
White Lion Publrs., 1975
The Worst Spy Ever (Neither a Candle nor a Pitchfork)
Just as Inspector Dover is literatures worst detective, Joyce Porter's Eddie Brown is its worst spy. Ms. Porter delights in displaying the many character flaws of Eddie Brown, industrial spy. This is the 3rd book in this series, and they are all excellent. Sir Maurice, his boss, tells Eddie that his next mission is in America, which is a big fat lie. This information abates slightly Eddie's ...

Neither Give Place2 reviews
Jefferson H. Floyd
Xulon Press, 2002
An excellent tool for both pastor and layperson
Neither Give Place is absolutely spellbinding. I keep thinking "why didn't I think of this?" It is the tool that I have been waiting for in my ministry. In this day when there are so many hurting and dysfunctional people, it is important that ministers such as myself have tools that prepare us to help these people. This book is that tool.

Neither Black nor white;: The whole church for a broken world1 review
David O Shipley
Word Books, 1971
Race, church, and structures of both
David O. Shipley's book was ahead of its time. Written almost four decades ago, he provided a blueprint for the organization a church, which would in turn service not only the needs of the church, but the greater community. Shipley also provided critical insight and thought regarding race relations through autobiographical stories. And he outlined the organization of small cell groups, a ...
