Unconquered: Theme Anthology (Heath Middle Level Literature)

1 review

D. C. Heath and Company, 1995

We Used D. C. Heath Tapes to Educate Our Daughters
Sylvan Learning Centers evaluated their reading at 1-4 years above grade level! Reading makes such a difference in future life! This particular set concerns the stuggle for civil rights, and as such is very important. Made for 8th grade, but good enough to hold an adult's interest!

Houghton Mifflin Co, 1953

A "must" follow-up to "A House Divided"
This book is "part two" of A House Divided and follows the same family into the politics and turmoil of the Reconstruction Period. If you enjoyed the first book, this one is another great read. It delves into the social and political problems of the Reconstruction era, such as enforcing the Freedman's Bureau, starting the new political South and establishing a new social role for the ...

TSR Hobbies, 1986

Surprisingly good
Here's a great, rare adventure set in the world of Conan's Hyperborea, and featuring some of Clyde Caldwell's best illustrations of all time - Red Sonja! This dark, gritty adventure (for levels 10-14) will see your PCs battle their way through many classic foes - Sotha the Magus, the Succubus, and much more as they quest in search of the lost treasures of Marcol. Easily adapted to a Greyhawk ...

not all fantasies are fantasy
A story of liberation, struggle and destruction. Ryman has crafted a timeless mythical fable that should be read by all.

What A Great, Heartwarming Story!
The Norman Conquest is such an interesting period to read about, and it takes a very talented author to insert humor, lovable characters and a heartwarming love story into this violent period of time, and Howell accomplished this with remarkable ease. Eada of Pevensey is a great heroine. She is feisty, strong, and courageous but she is also mature, willing to see other's point of view and caring. ...

The Religion of the Mithras Cult in the Roman Empire: Mysteries of the Unconquered Sun

Roger Beck

Oxford University Press, USA, 2007

Excellent read for academics, but not accessible for non experts.
An excellent book on understanding the 3D structure of Mithraeums. However, this is a highly academic and technical book, and is aimed at experts in the field. I read this in the same time when I was reading (Mithras Reader Vol1 An academic and religious journal of Greek, Roman, and Persian Studies) and found them to complement each other very well.

The Villain: The Unconquered Seminoles

Blimey! A tasty geezer or wot?
If you didn't know how to rob a bank, drag a van, blow the gaffe, poke the pony, or wot, know wot I mean, then you aint read this then, 'ave you now? It's almost written in cockney rhyming slang and seems all too authentic to me. Like an episode of The Sweeney, except from the Villain's viewpoint, the old Bill seems to have come to the conclusion that crime pays! The book's worth a read if only ...

Bertrice Small

Ballantine Books, 1981

One of Small's early successes, but the rot begins to show
I started to read the works of Bertrice Small back in the late seventies when she started to be published. When she started to write, the genre of historical romance had a love story that was written around historical events, generously served up with plenty of details, and tended to make the characters the center of the story, rather than the time and place. Sex, if and when it appeared, was ...

Spirit of the Shuar: An Incredible Read!
Deep within the mountainous rainforest of Ecuador, many days walk from the nearest road, lives a tribe that call themselves Shuar ("the people"). Their homeland is a place of wondrous beauty and yet great danger, where anaconda lurk in the rivers and jaguar prowl at night. Spirit of the Shuar is a book that tells their story, in their own words. After you have read it, you will know why Spirit ...

Seminole Views: A Postcard Panorama of America's Only Unconquered Tribe

Rainbow Books, Inc., 2007

Surprising insight into a secretive Indian tribe
I was amazed at the many personal insights of members of the tribe themselves. Many bits and pieces of history and tribal stories fleshed out a great blank spot in my understanding of the Seminole people. I continue to find new gems of insight everytime I leaf through the book. Well done!

Unconquered Countries: Four Novellas

Geoff Ryman

St Martins Pr, 1994

Ryman's better at longer lengths
I read this earlier in the summer, and I have to admit to having forgotten most about the stories here, but I remember being vaguely disappointed after finishing the collection. I like Ryman a lot--his novel, The Child Garden, is one of my favorite novels, and I thought that both Was and 253 were very good. Maybe I just like him at longer lengths? * "A Fall of Angels" -- Too much science, not ...

Unconquered Hearts
I think this book is very interesting and very well written. It is a good story, flows well and keeps your interest. I think it requires talent to obtain this when writing a true story. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in Native American history, American history in general or even if you enjoy historical novels.

The Unconquered Sun

Ralph Dulin

Macmillan, 1963

Disappointing.
Ralph Dulin writes capably enough. But he just doesn't seem to be very interested in his ostensible subject: the emperor Aurelian - a remarkable character, about whom a fair amount is known. Instead, he concentrates on the empress Severina - about whom virtually nothing is known. Which leaves Dulin free to portray her any way he wants to. Unfortunately, he portrays her as a very dull bird ...

Red Sonja / Claw The Unconquered: Devil's Hands (Paperback)

John Layman

Wildstorm, 2007

Remember the days when Sonja and Conan fought side by side?
The Wildstorm/Dynamite crossover with Claw and Red Sonja is the best crossover published with the fiery red heroine so far. The story and plot are pretty basic and isn't all that complicated but it is the conflict and resolution that both warriors experience that makes this book hard to put down. This is the best Sonja story since Roy Thomas was writing Conan due its realistic elements and grim ...

Robert Jordan

Sphere, 1988

Howard would be proud!
Well, if you don't already know who Robert Jordan is please ask whoever it is that has kept you locked in that closet to buy you the entire Wheel of Time series--and this book of course--before inserting you back into that dark, miserable vault. Then read them all voraciously. You will not be disappointed, with this or any of the other many books Mr. Jordan has written. This book in ...

Chicago Top 40 Charts 1970-1979: The Unconquered Seminoles

Another Magical Mystery Tour!
For those who enjoyed my first book, Chicago Top 40 Charts 1960-1969, this book continues the musical journey. As a broadcaster for the past 30 years, I know that a set of Joel Whitburn's Billboard chart books are indispensible. But often, it was the local and regional hits that drove popular music. In Chicago Top 40 Charts 1970-1979, I identify every tune to reach the WLS weekly music survey by ...

The Unconquered Sun

1 review

Ballantine Books, 1965

Well-written historical novel about Imperial Rome
This is a rather well-written historical novel about Imperial Rome, specifically the rise and fall of Aurelian, who became emperor at a crisis point during the 3rd century A.D. and was able to restore the empire's fortunes. He was a worshipper of Mithras, "the unconquered sun" (hence the title of the book).
