Meistad carefully and fairly thoroughly picks through first Luther's interpretations and sermons based upon Matthew's "Sermon on the Mount", and then contrasts it with John Wesley's several sermons from the "Sermon on the Mount". I found it extremely helpful for my studies, although I got tired of turning pages from Luther's section to Wesley's section instead of having a side-by-side comparison of their interpretations. I would recommend reading it with "The Cost of Discipleship" (Bonhoeffer). Roughly one third to one half of it is also based on the "Sermon on the Mount" and offers a third insight, closer to Wesley's view than Luther's.

I was writing a paper for theatre history on women's entrance onto the stage, this book provided great info. for the start of my paper. It cited obscure performances by women in medival religious dramas and remained as interesting as a medival history book could remain while one is researching a paper.

Seymour Geisser is a well known statistician who has made many significant contributions to the field of statistics. I met and got to know Seymour when I was a graduate student at Stanford University. He was a visiting professor there one year. We both participated in a seminar on rereading the works of R. A. Fisher. I presented a review Fisher's controversial work on the Behrens-Fisher problem and fiducial inference along with the insightful and critical comments of Maurice Bartlett. Seymour was one of the most knowledgeable members of the class and he contributed much to the discussion of several reviews in the class, especially mine.

A Conference took place in 1994 in Taiwan in celebration of Seymour's 65th birthday. This volume contains the proceedings from that conference. It was published in 1996. It contains papers by many distinguished statisticians in areas of interest to Seymour including general methodology, prediction theory, design of experiments and classification, Bayesian inference, testing and model selection, modelling and prediction in finance and time series modeling.

Seymour was a leader in the development of the Department of Statistics at the University of Minnesota and personal reminiscences are given by Marvin Zelen and David Lane about Seymour during his terms at SUNY at Buffalo and at the University of Minnesota. Seymour is well known for his work in Bayesian prediction, DNA forensic science and sample reuse. His approach to statistical inference is summarized in his book on predictive inference.

These proceedings include 27 papers presented at that conference. The editors, Jack Lee, Wesley Johnson and Arnold Zellner all contributed interesting articles. Many other prominent Bayesian statisticians also contributed articles including Leonard and Hsu, Press, Geweke, Tiao, Berger, McCulloch, Parmigiani and Zelen.

This volume gives you a perspective on Seymour Geisser as a man and an influential statistician and presents an interesting body of research that will interest many statistical researchers, especially Bayesians.

Trust it to mary to tell a romantic love story in a funny and witty ways, I started reading her books with this one and have been hooked since!

The author provides a good introduction to Eiffel from a real-world and academic-software-engineering point of view.

Eiffel is presented, from a simple "Hello, world!" example through advanced language elements like exception handling, repeated inheritance, typing issues, and (strangely) parallel implementations. The author also provides a general introduction to object-oriented concepts, for those new to objects. A discussion of the primary Eiffel environments and libraries is included, for those interested in an objective view of the competing products in the area.

To fulfill the software engineering aspect of the text, a discussion of object analysis and modeling with an Eiffel twist is included. This section is somewhat out-of-date, given that it does not even mention the Unified Modeling Language, choosing instead to focus on one of its precursors, OMT.

The author went the extra mile, to his credit, with a discussion ! of verification and validation in an Eiffel context and a full Eiffel case study, a parallel linear algebra library.

This is a fine overview book of the Eiffel language, environments, and libraries for a software designer or developer. In particular, those developers that use good software engineering practices (analysis, modeling, testing, etc.) will appreciate the coverage of said topics within these covers.

We all once was, now are, or in the future will be, a newcomer of organizations. It has been less speculated, however, the meaning of entry into organization, socialization to it, and HRM policies to lessen voluntary turnover after newcomers' entry both in academia and management practices. In 1992, I had so much difficulty in writing up my dissertation on organizational socialization in terms of effective strategies to make newcomers socialized to company's culture. This book was a breakthrough; the sections of past process models of socialization and the review of Realistic Job Preview study were really helpful. After vigorous library-work afterward, I came to believe this book was perhaps the best summary on organizational entry (anticipatory socialization) and socialization. Only one that lacks may be the explanation about variety of socialization tasks (thus I rate 4-star). A handy but helpful guidebook both for academics and practitioners. Highly recommended.

This book is the best primer on Wesleyan sacramental theology that I've read. Dr. Staples presents Infant Baptism, The Lord's Supper, written Liturgical Prayers, etc. in compelling arguments based upon Biblical and Church historical research. Definately written on a post-graduate vocabulary level.

Not excellent, good. Unless you have the Paso a Paso 2 textbook, this is going to be positivly worthless because in Paso a Paso, you learn by recognizing pictures and associating words with them. The workbook is similar: it shows you a picture, you write down the word/fill in the blank/understand the phrase/etc. Also, when I read a book, or start working in a workbook, I usually like SOME kind of introduction, like "We hope you like this book" or instuctions on using the book, or EVEN a Table of Contents, but none of that in this book. You open up to the title page, you flip the page, and you're right to work. Otherwise this is a good book to work in.

This is a book just as interesting to the average citizen as to the police officer. It explains that police patrol is an active undertaking. We see officers riding the streets & think they just drive until someone calls for help. If they are doing their job correctly, there's much more happening than meets the eye. Much of it will seem common sense to the experienced officer, but even veterans often fail to follow the simple principles explained here. I bought my copy some years ago when the price was considerably less, but it's still worthwhile reading.
