Homelessness in America is a comprehensive resource that examines the issues and causes of homelessness in the U.S., from poverty to housing, substance abuse, mental illness, race, and more. Wonderful stats, studies, and insights. As an employee of a rescue mission, I found this book helpful in understanding the homeless people we serve and in educating the public about their plight.

Certain you will pass! Even if you are new, this will teach you!

The Irish Republic by Dorothy Macardle. Published by Wolfhound Press. Price #40 hardback. "Whether the Irish Republic ever existed has been disputed not only by jurists and not only with words. For the Irish people the Republic was, for a few tense years, a living reality which dominated every aspect of their lives. its existence was a fact of human history, if not of logic or of law." With these eloquent words, Dorothy Macardle begins her monumental work on the history of the Irish struggle for freedom between the years 1916 and 1923. Its republication this week is an event in itself and is long overdue. The Irish Republic is a book which has been neglected for over 30 years, last reprinted in 1968 and frowned upon ever since by 'revisionist' historians. You will not find this book on most academic bibliographies. Because it views events from a frankly republican standpoint it was deemed out of bounds by the anti-republican historians who dominated history writing and history teaching. Yet the same historians used this book in the quiet of their university libraries as an invaluable source of information not to be found elsewhere. The great value of Dorothy Macardle's book is its attention to detail and its strict chronological approach. Add to that the 32 documents and speeches in its appendices and its biographical notes and you have by far the most comprehensive survey of the period. The book was written soon after the events it describes with the benefit of the author's personal experience and wide circle of friends and acquaintances who were centrally involved. The book, and Macardle's reputation, have suffered because of de Valera's association with it. De Valera wrote the preface and the book has been described by Tim Pat Coogan as a "hymn to de Valera". But to drag down this book along with the reputation of de Valera would be a travesty. It is not an apologia for any one person but is the testimony of a people in struggle. Dorothy Macardle was an independent-minded feminist republican. She played her own part in the national struggle, was for long an admirer of de Valera but, like so many others, became disillusioned with his regime in the 1930s. She was among the prominent republican women who publicly deplored the anti-woman 1937 Constitution and urged de Valera to change it. He ignored their demands. This book, the major achievement of Dorothy Macardle's writing life, deserves to be reclaimed and rediscovered. For anyone interested in Irish history it is essential reading. The cult of Michael Collins has distorted the view of the Civil War period and this book is especially important in understanding the republican perspective of that time. But equally, its carefully documented account of the Home Rule crisis, the 1916 Rising, the growth of Sinn Fein and the Tan war has to be read for a thorough understanding of those revolutionary years. All public and school libraries should be encouraged to obtain it. Hopefully a more accessible paperback edition will follow fairly soon so that many more people can add it to their personal libraries. By Micheal MacDonncha

Seyersted's work is so concise and to the point; I used this book for an English term paper on Kate Chopin and was extremely impressed by Seyersted's writing. I give this book five stars because I adore Kate Chopin's work (so I love the content), I envy Seyersted's detail, and also because this book helped me immensely in writing my term paper. Mr. Seyersted, wherever you are, thank you so much!

Morning & Evening Prayer of the Catholic Church, for Ordinary Time.
Good translations (far superior to ICEL), a great aid in learning Latin, and a great aid in praying.

Besides the translation, another interesting way in which it differs from "The Liturgy of the Hours" is the inclusion of 3 sets of Sunday Antiphons for the Magnificat and Benedictus in accord with the Church's 3-year Sunday Lectionary.

Highly recommended.

This book is just fantastic once you start to read you can not put it down. They are two very gifted individuals. There talent truly amaze me. I would love for them to keep writing.

This is an adorable book about a young girl who cannot sleep. She decides that she cannot sleep without her doll, her cat and her dog, her lion, and her you name it. After doing so, there are so many dolls and toys in her bed that there isn't any room left for her. By then she is so tired her mom helps her to take away the dolls, except for one, and she falls fast asleep. It's a very sweet book with wonderful illustrations.

My wife and I have personally been to the Sipan Project at Huaca Rajada three times. We feel that this book should be brought back in print right away!! Except for actually going to Peru, there is very few sources of factual information about this amazing find. The richest 'dig' in our part of the world EVER!! (began 1987). A story that will bring tears to your eyes, hope to your heart and is an awesome adventure tale that will keep you up all night. Find it, read it ... help to share and preserve the Ancient Cultures of our mutual past.(my actual rating is 22).

I got my first Los Angeles Diary in 2000. Per Annum, thepublisher, makes diaries for other major cities too. It's a pretty,small book easy to fit in any purse or pocket. The detailed maps ofone's city in the back pages are invaluable. You'll also find asurprisingly large listing of clubs and restaurants, shops, airlines,taxis, government, just about all the listings one could reallyimagine, in the front. There's space for some addresses toward theback too. Other pages have useful info too, and there's enough spaceon each calendar page to write a to-do list or series ofappointments. (There's a leather edition and a faux leather edition -... After lots and lots of use my faux leather edition did start toshow wear. I would upgrade to the real leather diary if you plan morethan light use.)

I love this thing!
