Los Beatles. Un dia en la vida
Muy bien documentado. Me parece una buena investigación acerca de la vida del GRAN GRUPO. Lo mejor, es que que todas las aseveraciones están respaldadas por referencias que pueden ser constrastadas. A mi juicio, es una buena investigación desde el punto de vista histórica y periodística. Vale la pena leerlo: entretenido y documentado (aunque hay algunas fallas en la traducción). Lo mejor que he leído acerca de los Beatles.

Anyone who liked the series will like the postcard book.
This book has lots of great color and black and white photos of the cast members. It also has a couple of nice shots of the ships interior. The control panels, space suits, 1st season costumes and a great shot of the LIS cyclops monster. I highly recommend this book. Buy it!

Love and Death in the Ancient Near East: Essays in Honor of Marvin H. Pope

Very impressive
I eventually bought this book because none of the libraries in my area had it! Marvin Pope was one of the big figures in Northwest Semitic studies a generation back. His ground breaking work in Song of Songs as well as his theories concerning the cult of the dead in the Levant provide the background for the title of this collection of essays. The list of contributors to this feschrift reads like a whose-who in ANE. Contributors incluse M. Dahood, W. Hallo, B. Foster, C. Gordon, R. Murphy, D. Pardee, and S. Parker just to mention a few. There are 35 articles in all. While the articles are a bit dated -- especially those involving the cult of the dead -- this is still an important work that will provide the student of the ANE with hours of fascinating reading.

Airborne heraldry of the Luftwaffe
The colourful and diverse unit badges worn by most Luftwaffe aircraft in WWII are of abiding interest to aviation enthusiasts, heraldic artists and modellers. You have to go back a long time (e.g. to out-of-print Aircam and Kookaburra publications) to find much attempt to catalogue badges and none of those offerings came anywhere near this 96-page, high quality paperback book. For anyone interested in the Luftwaffe, this is a must. It has three components parts

1) Most importantly, a full colour section depicting some 860 individual unit badges. All but a tiny handful have been attributed to known squadrons. Potential purchasers should note that this is NOT an attempt to portray individual pilots' personal markings - just the unit badges.

2) Text which briefly details each of these units, gives information on the origin of the badge (where this is known) and states the aircraft types flown.

3) A section of about 160 black and white photographs. These have been chosen to display the unit badges to best effect and this means that the photos are mostly well known already. This is not exactly a criticism, but if you already have even a modest Luftwaffe library you will experience some deja vu.

Overall, this is an excellent book. You also get slightly more for your money than the title suggests, since the authors have quite clearly included some unit badges being worn during the mid-1930s. This publication is typical of the high quality books on unusual subjects being marketed by the publishers Hikoki. Highly recommended !

A rare gem
Published in 1986, this volume is a reprint of five articles which appeared in ENGINEERING magazine in 1907 about the LUSITANIA and were later collected into a rare book. Since only nine original copies of this book exist, this reprint is a rare gem - a collector's item that any serious enthusiast must have. With an excellent introduction (including corrections to mistakes in the original book), 25 previously unpublished photographs, and rare diagrams of the vessel, this book is a classic for the ages.


Luther's Last Battles: Politics and Polemic, 1531-46

A New Methodological Approach
This book takes an extraordinarily unique approach to the discussion of the polemics of the "old man" Luther. Edwards proposes that many of the contemporary interpretations, of Luther's motivating psychological disposition as shaping the polemical work of the latter part of his life, from 1530 on, are incorrect. He insistently urges readers to put aside the pre-established views promulgated by Erik Erikson and his Crones- that "young man" Luther's troubled childhood had created a sort of ill-crazed, schizophrenic "old man." Edwards consistently takes a contextual, historical, and political approach to his very extensive interpretation of Luther's post 1530 polemics, minimizing Luther's mental and physical conditions.

"Luther's Last Battles" contains extensive interpretation of several of these latter polemical tracts. It is a task that few, if any, historians have undertaken. This being the case, it has allowed Edwards the freedom to promulgate his specific bent on the motivating drive of "old man" Luther.

Edwards ultimately concludes, that by approaching Luther's works through his new approach, it becomes clear that he had indeed carried strong political and theological convictions. His vulgarity and apocalyptic rhetoric were ultimately a result of the surrounding circumstances of sixteenth century society in the midst of the first Reformation.

Edwards's work deserves the highest praise. A reader ultimately gains an appreciation for the difficulty of such an analytical task. He has continually and effectively stressed the political motivation and interests in Luther's polemics. By attempting to provide a fresh outlook on the elder Luther, a task not often undertaken, Edwards has created an important new method for historians to use in evaluating polemical literature of the past. In so doing, he has demonstrated that the most complete evaluation of a person's persona and driving forces may be done only through historical contextual evaluation of primary sources. Goodbye Erik Erikson, Mark Edwards is here to stay!

The "Key" to happiness and sanity for Travel Nurses!!
My wife and I are Travel Nurses for Cross Country Travel and could not go anywhere without our Macmillan Color Atlas of the States! By using it we are able to find out about a possible travel location: what's the climate like, what's the landscape like, what's the cost of living, what taxes are imposed, what's the best way to get there and most of all...What type of activities go on in a certain area(fairs, festivals and national parks). The only thing that we don't like about the book is that we have yet to see an update. But, so far, we have found that the current printing is so concise, that it still plays an accurate part of our planning needs. I would recommend this book to anyone who travels this great nation of ours as well as those who never leave home(we found tons of stuff to do in our own home state that we never new existed).
