Somtimes a little dry, however this text has provided some very well thought-out bits of information. It seems as though the author was thorough in her research. It provides a good backbone to the study of gay history. She should be commended for her Herculean effort. It's information every gay man and lesbian should have in their arsenal if ever the topic comes up and you are called upon in discussion to defend the entire culture as a whole. Recommended reading.

"This government [Federal Government] will destroy the state governments, and swallow the liberties of the people." This was the declaration of Patrick Henry, found in these pages, along with many other intriguing and wonderful speeches. This text is a definite 'must read' in American History writings.

This volume is a collection of speeches, letters, essays, articles, and addresses presented during the era of American Constitutional history. Debate over the ratification of the constitution was obviously a huge debate in historical political philosophy and this volume is a great testimony of that fact.

It seems that the Federalist papers have received more attention in the classroom and in table talk conversations due to men like Hamilton, Madison, and Jay, and their respective writings. But we should not neglect a well rounded reading of political history and skip over the writings of the Anti-Federalists (Henry, Cato, DeWitt, and Brutus. In fact, I have the Federalists Papers in a collection as well as this volume and the two make for a wonderful evening of reading.

Were it not for the Anti-Federalists we would not have the Bill of Rights, and thus their opposition should be seen in history as a necessary cause if for no other reason than their concern that the State governments and rights should have some protection against federal incursion. Here is a volume of collected writings which demonstrates why, in my estimation anyway, the United States had such a well rounded and firmly established form of government and political history. These pages demonstrate an America were freedom of speech and opinion rise to wonderful occasions. If you love American history, more specifically historical American political history, then you should not be without this text and these writings.

A wonderful story! Historically accurate in every detail, Apache Gold tells the story of a young man, Charles Wayne. Charles is a station agent and telegrapher at Jefferson, a booming metropolis of two whole buildings, the station and the water tank. Charles is quite lonely in his little station until one day a train tramp is evicted from a train and left to die in Charles's care. The tramp tells him of gold--gold hidden somewhere in the mountains far away, and gives Charles vague directions. So Charles quits his job and goes in search of the hidden gold. But he finds more than he bargained for, including a mad professor, raging grizzly bears, and the torture-loving Apache Indians.

I recommend all of Joseph Altsheler's books, although Apache Gold is one of my favorites. All historical information in Altsheler's books is very acurate, and I like his strong heros.

This is the best amd most meaningful approach I've ever read on this topic. Taking the literal approach brings the Revelation alive and better viewed in light of the rest of scripture. I like the comment "this is the revelation of Jesus the Christ not world events". The book keeps taking in to account the plan of God for his people. We are keep aware of the fact that world events change but the word of God and his plan are forever. This view keeps you focused as you read the Apocalypse. Different views are spoken to in this book, and they are always rejected based on scripture not opinion. Seiss is honest enough to speak about his lack of understanding when necessary. Very humbel, and open to the will of God in his writting. A MUST reading and study for all who are interested in this topic.

This is one of the best text books of personality typing and information I have read. It is a list of Types and childhood causes for the formation of different types of people. I found myself, my personality strengths and weaknesses along with the causes. This book brought me to a knew level of understanding.

Well, maybe -everyone- shouldn't own this book, but any self-respecting, rock-banging Anglo Saxonist would do well to have a look. And if you can't spring for the 85 clams they're asking, then have your university library order up a copy.

Mr. Weaver's "Applications ..." has saved me twice. Here's how:

I was warned by a graduating Electrical Engineering Senior to study Fourier Transforms before taking ECE-303, Signals and System theory. Quite simply, ECE-303 was the weeding course, because most students were struggling with the transforms while also trying to learn system theory. Fortunately, I heeded the senior's advice and picked up copy of "Applications ...". At the time, it was a bit much for my tight student budget, but it earned its keep. I read the book over the summer before the class. Because the book is so well written, I was able to digest it completely on my own. It has the greatest clarity I've seen on the topic. Having an Engineering disposition, I immediate consumed his explanations that tie things back to the "frequency content" view. I not only aced the class, but I really enjoyed it. It's what Engineering was about.

Here I am (fast forward 10 years) taking an Engineering Statistics class to get back into things. Low and behold, Weaver comes in again. In the advanced areas of studies in statistics I've picked up on references to the Fourier Transform in the topics of moments, moment generating functions, and the Central Limit Theorem. As it happens, Chapter 11, Stochastic Analyis covers this topic, and I've now got the concepts. Of course, I've had to re-read Chapter 3, The Fourier Transform, since it has been, after all, a great while since I applied them!

An excellent, must-have collection for all who study Norris, this collection of early work has an informative introduction. It should be read in conjunction with McElrath's _Frank Norris and 'The Wave'_. Readers would appreciate an index (there isn't one) but the book is well worth the price just as it is.

Bobick has done it again. After reading Bobick's insightful translation and exposition of Aquinas' "De Ente et Esentia", I was pleased to find that his knack for explaining Aquinas' complex ideas in metaphysics and natural philospohy is repeated in this book. For those who wish to understand Aquinas in depth, this book is a must.

Joseph Urban was primarily responsible for bringing the influence of the Vienese Secessionist Movement and Modernism to the theatre of America near the turn of the 20th century. Sure, he wasn't the only one and this book doesn't try to over-state Urban's influence. The text lets the designs do the work.
The book is nothing more than a catalogue but what an extraordinary catalogue it is! The photos of the renderings and models are top quality and really good choices by the author and editors. One can really see the watercolor techniques in the renderings along with the development of the design ideas Uban went through in his varied and prolific life as a designer. I really enjoyed the ddesigns and written text associated with the New School of Social Research. His work seems to be a precurser to Mondrian without the sterility of some of the Bauhaus concepts. His theatrical work really enlivened his architectural work.
His designs for the theatre were outrageous and vital.
I rate this book so very high because Urban's work is so important to stage design in America. As I said earlier, this book is a catalogue - but what a body of inspired and fantastical work to catalogue!
