The making of the Middle Ages (Yale paperbounds Y-46)7 reviews
R. W Southern

Yale University Press, 1964

Fascinating, but not introductory-level material
The Making of the Middle Ages by RW Southern When I asked for suggestions as to what I should read to expand my knowledge of the social history of the Middle Ages, a friend with a degree in Medieval History suggested Richard Southern's The Making of the Middle Ages. I was hoping for a fairly straightforward book about women, warfare, technology, medicine, what it was like to live in a Medieval ... 		  
  







  
  
Esther Waters: A Novel (Paperbound)3 reviews
George Moore

Classic Books, 2007

First major English realist novel
George Moore was an Irish landowner who received his indoctrination into the world of art and literature in France. His encounter there with the realist movement led to the first three truly realistic (defined as against the prevailing moralism and/or melodrama of Victorian fiction) novels in English literature proper: A Modern Lover, A Mummer's Wife and Esther Waters. Of the three, Esther ...

Far away and long ago : a childhood in Argentina (Paperbound)4 reviews
William Henry Hudson

Library Reprints, 2007

A Naturalist's Childhood on the Pampas
As we continue to pave over the beauties of our world and turn them into concrete wastelands, it is good to think back what life was like 150 years ago before we began the process of destruction in earnest. W. H. Hudson, the naturalist, is revered in Argentina, where they refer to him as Guillermo Enrique Hudson and name streets and towns after him. In simple and stately prose, he writes about ... 		  
  







  
  
The Portable Arthur Miller: 2 (Viking paperbound portables, P 71)3 reviews
Arthur Miller, Harold Clurman

Viking Adult, 1971

Good Compendium of Miller's works
I wanted to read Death of a Salesman. While searching I found this book which has 5 of Miller's plays (including his famous ones, Death of a Salesman and The Crucible) and a few other little works of his. This is a great bargain, considering that a single play by Miller is about $9.00 and this is $12.00. A pretty good deal, if you ask me!

I ordered this book for my literature studies and it is an excellent resource or English poetry, prose and literature. Not only was it more economical to order from Amazon, but it came sooner than expected. If you want one of the best companions for lit, this it the one.

Magoffin was a name familiar to the Mexicans who had trading relations with Susan's husband for years before he married her and took her with him from the states on an expedition to Chihuahua, Mexico.

Archetypes of Wisdom: An Introduction to Philosophy, Paperbound Edition (with CD-ROM and InfoTrac)6 reviews
Douglas J. Soccio

Wadsworth Publishing, 2003

A Must!
Having first read Archetypes of Wisdom (an older version) back in my first year or so of college, I eagerly awaited revisions to the book I fell in love with. Soccio did not disappoint. The newest edition of Archetypes of Wisdom is its best yet and I strongly encourage anyone interested in philosophy to give this book a read. Ideas are presented in a clear cut manner as is the biographies of ... 		  
  







  
  
Golden Book of Springfield (Paperbound)2 reviews
Vachel Lindsay

Classic Books, 2007

The High Priest of Illinois
The Golden Book of Springfield is a super arcane, esoteric gem!! It should be required reading in every Illinois school. Lindsey attempts to do justice to his home state, by creating a futuristic Illinios filled with life and dignity. So unlike the Illinois of his time or anyone elses. Lindsey has a deep knowledge of the occult which is apparent to anyone who reads this book. The book is ... 		  
  







  
  
Urgent Whispers: Care of the Dying [Paperbound]4 reviews
Jerral Sapienza

Llx Pr, 2002

Urgent Whispers: Care of the Dying
It's about time that someone in Western society breech the taboo related to death and dying. Death isn't a fun subject, by any means, but it is something that all of us will experience. Like it or not, no one can escape losing a loved one and certainly we all have to die, at some point, ourselves. Mr. Sapienza has masterfully captured the essence of meaning and beauty of the death process. Who ... 		  
  







  
  
Biology: Concepts and Applications (Paperbound with InfoTrac and CD-ROM)1 review
Cecie Starr

Brooks/Cole, 2002

Great textbook, wonderful learning aids.
The pictures and diagrams in this book are one of the best I've seen in all my textbooks I use in college. It makes college biology easier to learn from. I also highly recommend: The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations by Patrick Leonardi, Volume 1, Volume 2 and Volume 3. These study guides have practically every kind of question that can be ... 		  
  







  
  
A Jewish Understanding of the New Testament (University Paperbound Editions)1 review
Samuel Sandmel

University Publishers, Inc, 1960

I can't put it down!
I am in the process of converting to Judaism from Christianity. This means that I have lots of questions and confusion about who Jesus was if he was not the messiah. When I bought this book, I expected it to be dry and difficult to get through. Indeed, the introduction is, but it's largely unnecessary for the enjoyment of the remainder of the book. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the ...

An early book on Deontic Logic, from 1913 Yale Law Journal

The last two relate to the ability to create or discharge the first two. The ... 		  
  







  
  
Art of the Moving Picture (Paperbound)1 review
Vachel Lindsay

Classic Books, 2007

quite astonishing
Quite astonishing, wrote one critic, and this, often very dreamy, book of 1915!!! is exactly this. I am not a movie critic, just a reader and this book was a delight to read. It deals about the era of the silent movies, around 1915 when there were no Rambos or Terminators running across the screen with Qsound and computerised warping effects. It was the time when everything had to be expressed in ...

Yale University Press, 1967

An ongoing review in four parts, part 1: What it is and how to prepare to read it.
I am rereading these after many years. In working my way through these volumes, I realized that these books require some preparation on the part of the reader. I thought I would therefore tell you exactly what these books are and make some suggestions for preparing to read them. As will become clear when I explain what they are, for me to critique them would be presumptuous and odd. WHAT THESE ...

Wounded Knee in historical & military perspective
ONE USUALLY SEARCHES IN VAIN FOR AN AN EVEN HANDED NON PARTISAN ACCOUNT OF THIS SAD EVENT. MR. UTLEY APPEARS TO DO JUST THIS IN HIS 1963 PRESENTATION WHICH IS EMPATHETIC YET FACT DRIVEN. HE PROVIDES DIRECT EVIDENCE, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT BIG FOOT'S WARRIORS WERE WELL ARMED & DID INDEED COMMENCE FIRE ON FORSYTH'S 7TH CAVALRY AT POINT BLANK RANGE. MILITARY ARCHIVAL DATA PROVIDES LITTLE SUPPORT FOR THE ...

Longman, 2008

Very nice for an english book
This is by far my favorite english book I've ever had! The content is organized so well that it's incredibly easy to find whatever you're looking for. I didn't even have to really read anything because I could so easily find what I was looking for. Very nice! The language is simple, concise, not inflated, and straight to the point. Very easy to understand.
