Broken English (Ohio Amish Mystery Series #2)

6 reviews
P. L. Gaus

Ohio University Press, 2000

Great Gaus!
I hope Paul Gaus continues on with his Amish work. I am a fan of Amish Lit. and mystery. I have read many books before about the Amish and "their ways" by people who claim to be experts. They are not, but Mr. Gaus is. Right from the begining to the last page, his detail and knowledge, entangled with suspense and intrigue will make you too, a Gaus reader for life. His story lines and ...

Fields: Second Book In Awakening Land Trilogy

6 reviews
Conrad Richter

Ohio University Press, 1991

Intensity Again
Richter loses no time establishing THE FIELDS as a direct and strong descendant of THE TREES. With no time wasting, he recreates the forest and Sayward's battle against the "big butts," those mammoth trees blocking out the sun. Her relationship with her man, Portius Wheeler the lawyer, seems at first to strengthen: seven kids in all, and a childhood tragedy once again accepted. We readers ...

The Trees: First Book In Awakening Land Trilogy

Conrad Richter

Ohio University Press, 1991

Discover Older Literature
If you are looking for something good to read, you might want to try this older American Literature by Conrad Richter, The Trees--what a great story. I have really enjoyed this, and it helped that years ago I had seen the film of The Awakening Land, so it was easy to picture and hear the voice of Elizabeth Montgomery as Sayward. Karen Loving

The Scarlet Letter (Centenary Edition of the Works of Nathaniel Hawthorne, Vol. 1)

405 reviews
Nathaniel Hawthorne

Ohio State University Press, 1963

A wonderful piece of literature, however
I completely agree with most HS students that this book should be optional reading for them because HS teachers should very well know that there are many different minds that need very different kinds of reading material and exposure to variety is not always a good thing that's why you end up having reviews of books like this by some HS students who puke on it rather then have savored it like I ...

Separate from the World: An Ohio Amish Mystery
P. L. Gaus

Ohio University Press, 2008

Separate from the World is a story of a rift between two Amish factions, one that favors the use of medicine and that participates in a college study of genetic traits particular to the Amish community, and the other that rejects any outside influence. Once more, P. L. Gaus takes us inside a separate culture and, in a manner both gentle and grim, highlights the complex relationship of the Amish and the “English” as they live inside ...

A Fantastic, Captivating Read!

Guide To EKG Interpretation: Revised Edition (White Coat Pocket Guide Series)

8 reviews
John A. Brose, John C. Auseon, ...

Ohio University Press, 2002

You must have this book!!
Dr. Brose's "Guide to EKG Interpretation" is a resource that all physicians in training should seriously consider acquiring. It is an extremely thorough book, and its size is deceptive. You wouldn't think a small pocket-size book could pack this much information! As an illustration, I had a question on my Part II board exam about a "J wave", something I had never heard of, even after my EKG ...

WHY WE READ FICTION: THEORY OF MIND AND THE NOVEL (THEORY INTERPRETATION NARRATIV)

4 reviews
LISA ZUNSHINE

Ohio State University Press, 2006

A Remarkable, Exciting Approach to Literature
I purchased WHY WE READ FICTION after reading a number of strong books on evolutionary psychology written for non experts, including Dennett's CONSCIOUSNESS EXPLAINED, Wright's THE MORAL ANIMAL, and Pinker's THE BLANK SLATE. After reading these works and finding myself fascinated by their insights and their explanatory powers, I was curious to see how evolutionary psychology might be applied to ...

Fighting the Greater Jihad: Amadu Bamba and the Founding of the Muridiyya of Senegal, 1853-1913 (New African ...
Cheikh Anta Babou

Ohio University Press, 2007

In Senegal, the Muridiyya, a large Islamic Sufi order, is the single most influential religious organization, including among its numbers the nation’s president. Yet little is known of this sect in the West. Drawn from a wide variety of archival, oral, and iconographic sources in Arabic, French, and Wolof, Fighting the Greater Jihad offers an astute analysis of the founding and development of the order and a biographical study of its ...

A Good Reference!
This book gave excellent explanations for learning linguistics. I enjoyed reading this book and working on the helpful exercises at the end of each section. I ended up learning about linguistics without an instructor as a result of this smartly designed textbook.

All The Fun's In How You Say A Thing: An Explanation Of Meter & Versification

11 reviews
Timothy Steele

Ohio University Press, 1999

All the fun really is in how you say a thing.
I am currently a student in an undergraduate creative writing program, and I love (and write) free verse. A previous reviewer criticizes Steele for his "rejection" of free verse; this reason is the basis of his/her low rating of the book. Timothy Steele doesn't have a deep admiration of free verse. He even calls it secondary to the main accentual-syllabic tradition. Although I agree with the ...

Ever Present Origin: Part One: Foundations Of The Aperspectival World (Englis Series, No 1)

4 reviews
Jean Gebser

Ohio University Press, 1986

Gebser's Magnum Opus
This book is not a light read. However it is a fascinating read penned by one of Europe's hidden philosophical treasures: Jean Gebser. The Ever-Present Origin is a translation of _Ursprung und Gegenwart_, a book which was published in German in two parts around 1949 and 1953. The central contribution of this book is Gebser's analysis of the history of culture -- mainly but not exclusively Western ...

Traditional Healers: And Childhood In Zimbabwe (African Studies)

1 review
Pamela Reynolds

Ohio University Press, 1995

Good
Reynolds is my medical anthropology professor at UC Berkeley. The book, like Reynolds, is engaging and interesting. Reynolds is compassionate and very intelligent. These qualities are clearly evident in her book. It is a wonderful resource for both laymen and anthropologists, for anybody interested in healing systems outside of the Western tradition. Read the book.

DEATH OF CONTRACT: SECOND EDITION

5 reviews
GRANT GILMORE

Ohio State University Press, 1995

Saved my neck in law school--and I enjoyed it, too
When I took Contracts as a first-year law student, I read the cases, went to class, and didn't have the faintest idea what it all meant. It seemed to be a mind-numbing mix of similar facts with different conclusions. Then I read this book and--voila--it all seemed to flow together so cohesively and clearly. And, on top of that, the book is well written, has flashes of humor, and is very short. ...

A Prayer for the Night (Ohio Amish Mystery Series #5)

P. L. Gaus

Ohio University Press, 2006

A Splendid Read!
This is one mystery you'll truly enjoy! I love reading about the Amish and this book is no exception. The author displays a keen knowledge of the Amish lifestyle and I love the way the three boyhood friends have become modern day sleuths among the people of the past. You won't be sorry for buying this book!

Alexander The Great: A Novel

Nikos Kazantzakis

Ohio University Press, 1982

A winner in all aspects
First I would like to mention that I have read all of Kazantzakis's work in Greek, and most of it in English. The translation of this book if very good, and most of the meaning of the original text is properly conveyed. Kazantzakis aspect of Alexander the Great is a Greek's point of view. Nevertheless Kazantzakis, like in all his works (Zorba the Greek and The Last Temptation to name but a few) ...
