A companion piece along with O Hehir's GAELIC LEXICON FOR FINNEGANS WAKE as well as Bonheim's LEXICON FOR THE GERMAN IN FINNEGANS WAKE, this text is an invaluable reference tool for reading Joyce's last great work. Simple, concise, this work lists the Finnegan word or phrase on the left, the Latin or Greek derivative in the center of the page, and the author's interpretation of the correlation between the two on the right hand portion of the page. O Hehir does this for a phenomenal 514 pages. While using various other secondary texts to assist me through the Wake, I found this to be most helpful for Joyce knew Latin, a little Greek, as well as a handful of other languages (including Gaelic and German--being Irish and having listed in Trieste). Furthermore, I was surprised to find that Joyce had left a large portion of the Latin terms and phrases untouched throughout the Wake, thus making this text all the more important. The other 140 pages that comprise this gem is a Greek and Latin lexicon for the rest of Joyce's works. Indeed, a must-have for any Joyce fan or scholar.

THE CNE-4 STUDY GUIDE, PUBLISHED BY SYBEX, IS ANOTHER GREAT EXAMPLE OF THE QUALITY WORK THAT IS DELIVERED FROM SYBEX. THE AUTHORS OF THIS BOOK HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB IN ARRANGING THE CONTENT IN A MATTER THAT IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW. THIS STUDY GUIDE HAS EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW TO PASS YOUR CNE 4 EXAM. THE CNE-4 STUDY GUIDE IS VERY COMPREHENSIVE, ALLOWING FOR THIS BOOK TO NOT ONLY BE USED AS A STUDY GUIDE, BUT AS A REFFERENCE MANUAL FOR HOW-TO INFORMATION WHEN ADMINISTRATING OR SUPPORTING A NOVELL 4.1 NETWORK. ANOTHER GREAT FROM SYBEX

This is a tremendous book - some of the greatest stories ever written, attractively packaged and reasonably priced. These are not really "short stories", as most of them are longer than 50 pages, and they all require careful attention, but the effort is well worth it. While some are better than others, there is not a weak story in the book.

This book contains all Robert's poems, including epitaphs, plus all his song lyrics, but not the sheet music, because he did not compose any music. Of course, there is one song of his, Auld lang syne, which is extremely well known, although not many people are aware that he was its writer. This is not a biography, though some brief historical details are provided. If you want an in-depth biography, you must look elsewhere.

Robert Burns wrote about every topic you could imagine - love, nature, politics, people, anything that was topical in the late eighteenth century. Among the most famous poems are A red red rose (including the line Till a' the seas gang dry my dear), To a louse (including the line O wad the Power some giftie gie us) and To a mouse (including the line The best laid schemes o' mice and men).

The poems and songs are presented chronologically in the order of date written. Personally, I would have preferred the book divided into chapter, with each chapter covering a different theme, but it doesn't really matter. There is an index of first lines as well as an index of titles.

A glossary is provided to allow translation from Scottish to English. People sometimes joke that Britain and America are two countries separated by a common language, but this glossary is a reminder that the same can be said about Scotland and England. I cannot say how easy or difficult you will find the dialect. I was born of Scottish parents so I learned a bit as a child even though I was raised in England. Hopefully, you will most of it reasonably straightforward with a bit of practice. The quality of the poetry makes it well worth the effort.

Within the main book, at the bottom of each page, footnotes are provided to set the context of the poem or song where this is deemed useful. For example, Ballad of the American war has footnotes giving brief details of events between 1775 and 1784, so you will immediately realise that the poem doesn't just focus on the war itself, but also its aftermath.

Conservative Enviromentalism is not a hack job which merely dispels the whole enviromental movement out of hand. This book is written by conservationists, who believe fervently that there are better solutions to our ecological problems than passing federal regulation.

Conservative Enviromentalism properly offers solutions at the local level and believes that much of the problems found today should be cured in our neighborhoods and municipalities.

The real kicker about this book though, is their concept of the "Ledger," which use the basic double-entry accounting method to help quantify the costs and gains of environmental regulation.

This book is a truly remarkable work, which will have lasting impact in the ecological debate.

without a doubt the best investigation of a standing stone monument ever undertaken. This book could change the way we examine all other masonry structures to discover their history, hidden deply within.

Although this is the fourth volume of the new edition of WJ's correspondence, in a way it is really the first, and would be a good place for a reader desiring a more intimate acquaintance with William James and his world to start. Volumes 1-3 were devoted to the letters to and from his equally famous novelist brother -- an appealing idea and one probably calculated to increase interest and sales, but perhaps questionable on more fundamental grounds. Be that as it may, as a reading experience Volume 4 can scarcely be recommended too highly. William James is probably one of the most lovable letter writers ever to set pen to paper. In these letters every sentence comes alive and breathes.

James possessed to a high degree qualities of attention, powers of observation, and an adorable desire to render experience vividly. It is a cliche to say that "a world comes alive" in pages like these, but that is the feeling I have when, for example, I read a letter written from Dresden to Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. on May 15, 1868: "Wendell of my entrails! At the momentous point where the last sheet ends I was interrupted by the buxom maid calling me to tea and through various causes have not got back till now. As I sit by the open window waiting for my bkfst. and look out on the line of Droschkies drawn up on the side of the dohna Platz, and see the coachmen, red faced, red collared, & blue coated with varnished hats, sitting in a variety of indolent attitudes upon their boxes, one of them looking in upon me and probably wondering what the devil I am, When I see the big sky with a monstrous white cloud battening and bulging up from behind the houses into the blue, with a uniform coppery film drawn over cloud & blue which makes one anticipate a soaking day, when I see the houses opposite with their balconies & windows filled with flowers & greenery -- ha! on the topmost balcony of one stands a maiden, black jaketted, red petticoated, fair and slim under the striped awning leaning her elbow on the rail and her peach like chin upon her rosy finger tips -- Of whom thinkest thou, maiden, up there aloft? here, *here!* beats that human heart for wh. in the drunkenness of the morning hour thy being vaguely longs, & tremulously, but recklessly and wickedly posits elsewhere, over those distant housetops which thou regardest..."

This jocular yet earnest mood is perhaps the most pervasive one in these letters. Yet we also get glimpses into the deep and suicidal depressions he fought during his early years. Several of the letters in this volume blossom into fascinating six- or seven-page ruminations on some of the deepest questions of philosophy and religion, for these are the years in which James, "swamped in an empirical philosophy," won through to a view of the world that found room for consciousness, will, and spirit. It is in his letters to (and from) Holmes, the physician Henry Bowditch, and his bosom friend Tom Ward that we feel most intensely James's mind and heart grappling with the ideas he cares most deeply about.

But James is not always mulling over deep principles. At eighteen years of age he briefly considered becoming a painter, and began studies to that end, so it is in his character to be fully alive to surface details of the scene about him. A commentary on cultural and political matters full of interesting judgments runs though these letters. Readers will also come to feel they know well every member of the James family. WJ's letters to his sister Alice are especially remarkable.

Though my initial reaction to the policy of extremely restrained annotation practiced by the editorial team was one of frustration, in the end I came to appreciate the free hand it gives us to reread letters more carefully and to feel ourselves into the wonderful and mysterious crannies of the inner life of a great human being. To this end, I recommend deferring the introduction by Giles Gunn until after they have concluded the letters. Professor Gunn (of UC Santa Barbara) has interesting and pertinent things to say -- especially about James's relation to his father, the Swedenborgian theologian Henry James, Sr., on whose work Gunn has written -- but there is nothing there that cannot wait until readers have first immersed themselves in the primary texts.

The volumes of this series are beautiful in their craftsmanship, and it is an aesthetic as well as intellectual delight to manipulate and peruse them. This volume would make an excellent gift for a bright high school senior or college freshman, since the problems of youth and of finding a vocation hold a special place here -- for anyone struggling with a chronic or debilitating illness (James is plagued with back and eye problems through most of these years) -- or indeed, for anyone who reads!

This book is yet one of my most favorites. The detailing of this fine writen book makes you actually not want to put it down once you start to read it. The movie is wonderful, but the book takes you to the next level that the movie leaves out.

So if you are a person who craves more detailing in an action and adventure, this is the book for you. No lie, you will not be disapointed. Take my word for it.
