St. Paul the Traveler and Roman Citizen3 reviews
William M. Ramsay, Mark Wilson
Kregel Academic & Professional, 2001
Not to be Missed
I have been waiting a long time for this modern reissue of Ramsay's classic work. Wilson's edition does not disappoint. The book is beautifully printed (the old editions were so dreary) and now includes over a hundred color photos of relevant sites and images. These images are carefully placed near the texts that they illustrate. Also maps, charts and colorful sidebars have been added. ...

Not a book for beginners (he is a Michelin 3 Star chef) ...

Applied Functional Data Analysis4 reviews
J.O. Ramsay, B.W. Silverman
Springer, 2002
functional data analysis by example
In 1997 Ramsay and Silverman wrote a standard text that stands out as a classic book teaching the functional approach. With this new book they take the approach of teaching by example. Each of chapters 2 -12 present a case study first. The one on childhood growth is standard fair but they also present unusual cases such as modeling a juggler and analyzing handwriting. In eachcase they show how ...

The Art of Robert Bateman5 reviews
Ramsay Derry
Pomegranate Communications, 2006
The Art of Robert Bateman is superb & endearing.
To see a Robert Bateman work is to glimpse a moment in Nature's time when an elk treks across a vast winter landscape of snow, conifers & mountains; or a stream bank where tender green plants glow against the moist earth & a minute bird perches; or a trumpeting bull elephant confronts you in a storm of dust. Roger Tory Peterson has written an expressive introduction & Ramsay Derry's profile of ...

Dictionary of Pastoral Care and Counseling5 reviews
Abingdon Press, 2005
Thoughtful and useful dictionary
The Dictionary is useful for readers across a wide spectrum, not only for pastoral carers. Contains concise and practical information. The theological import of each entry is spelled out. Each entry has a bibliography for further reading or cross reference. I found myself browsing at leisure!

Schirmer Books, 2005
Great book for getting your songs into movies
I bought this book because I wanted to learn how I can get my songs into movies and tv. I heard that was the best way to make money and get exposure. This book gave me the answers and even the names of people who select music for films and tv. I already got one of my songs into a film that competed in Tribeca Film festival. Some of the writing is a little long handed but the information is ...

A Chef for All Seasons10 reviews
Gordon Ramsay, Roz Denny
Quadrille Publishing Ltd, 2002
Excellent Addition to the Gordon Ramsay French/Scottish repitoire
`A Chef for All Seasons' by the English high tempered chef, Gordon Ramsay looks like and is very much of a `follow the trend' book, just as `healthy eating' and `quick cooking' themes are bandwagons on which cookbook writers jump to squeeze another ounce of interest out of their audience for their latest book. Unlike some other seasonally or calendar oriented books such as Alfred Portale's `The ...

It is more likely to find its home on the ...

Anglican Spirit2 reviews
M.M. Ramsay
Cowley Publications,U.S.
An Excellent Introduction
Rowan Williams, the current Archbishop of Canterbury, notes in his foreword that this is a book that is really needed right now. Given that tensions in the Anglican Communion have been increasing for quite some time and that they are now at the point where the Anglican Communion is likely to change in some significant and painful ways over the next few months, it is well worth looking back and ...

The World Of Robert Bateman3 reviews
Ramsay Derry
Wellfleet Press, 2005
Wonderful
This book, together with "The art of Robert Bateman" is one of the best wildlife art books ever published, and truly shows Bateman at his best. The later collections (especially the very last ones) don't even come close to the beauty of the paintings in these two books. In most paintings the animal is just one character, sometimes not even the main one, while the landscape and the surroundings ...

Voting About God in Early Church Councils3 reviews
Yale University Press, 2006
Excellent Study of Church Councils
Ramsay MacMullen has written one of the best introductions to church history that I have come across. He focuses on how church councils in the period between 325-550 voted on and defined the doctrine of God. So in the Christian patristic era, truth was determined by majority vote, the assertions of traditionalists to the contrary notwithstanding. Of course, minority bishops at councils were ...

Excellent Reference!
"The 100 Best Businesses for the 21st Century" is excellent! The book is simple and easy-to-read. But each of the businesses has been researched carefully and well-documented for follow-up work. We recommend this book for lots of folks - it's great for a second job, a career change, and retirees looking for additional income. According to the author, "corporate America has squeezed the ...

The heroes of Rimau: Unravelling the mystery of one of World War II's most daring raids2 reviews
Lynette Ramsay Silver
S. Milner Pub, 1990
A true story so gripping and close to the facts
This is an beautifully written book that flows faultless from start to finish. I was first fascinated with Operations Jaywick and Rimau after seeing the dramatization on TV in the late 80's/early 90's. However, like most TV and film, it left me gasping for more information. I wanted to know why those heroes died the way they did. By sheer luck I found this book and could not believe the ...

The armies of the first French Republic and the rise of the marshals of Napoleon I2 reviews
Ramsay Weston Phipps
Oxford University Press, H. Milford, 1926
To Follow The Drum
The only reason that this five volume work is rated with five stars is that is the highest I could go on this forum. It rates a 'ten' easily. This monumnetal, authoritative, exhaustively researched work is also a great read. Ramsay Phipps delved into the lives and accomplishments of some of the greatest soldiers in history and came up with the definitive work on the period. Generally, we ...

Gordon Ramsay's Fast Food: Recipes from "The F Word" (UK Hardcover)2 reviews
Gordon, 2007
Excellent cookbook
This is by far the best cookbook I own. His recipes are all quick to make but taste like you spent hours. He uses an easy to understand approach to his recipes plus gives you a list of common things that everyone should keep in their kitchen for quick gourmet meals. We've cooked for friends with these recipes on several occasions and they keep asking when they can come back!

My only regret about this book is that I found it tucked away in a young reader's section--after this year's Chanukah celebrations had ended.
It's a lovely story for mid-level young readers who love adventure and enjoy learning Jewish stories.
This one is the classic story of Judah Maccabees's victory, against all odds, in the ancient battle for Jerusalem and the First Temple, against the ...
