Outstanding.
I am chief resident at a teaching hospital. This book was highly recommended to me

very impressed with the solid content in each chapter and the clear, extensive
illustrations throughout this book. It is invaluable and will remain a part of my medical

Transending contemporary departmentalism
in this thoughtful work, the author (the former dean of the graduate faculty of the new school for social research & a political philosophy professor) examines the work of each of these seemingly unconnected men and their attempts to understand and present the human condition. this work transcends specialization and is an important piece in the study of the moderns break with the ancients. dr. white was the first ph.d.student of leo strauss in the usa. he is, as well, indebted to the thoughts of kurt riezler, with whom he also studied.

Very informative
Mr. O'Brien gives a vivid detail of the 105ths movements from the landing on the beaches of Saipan to the final evacuation from the Gyokusai attach in Tanapag. He follows his uncle Lt. Col. William J. O'Brien from battle to battle all the time merging stories of the hundreds of other men who fought along side him. Giving an almost play by play of scirmishes from survivors stories. I couldn't put it down. I will never Hash through the jungles here the same way again! Infact, I went to the memorial and looked for his name of the thousands that are there and I found it. As you look at it you face to about the appoximate location of Tagapag village.

Bittersweet memories of another day.
This is the story of Frank Shields, a great tennis star who was ranked as the best tennis player in the whole world in 1933. It was witten by his son.

Shield was a real high liver in the early 20th century running with Barrymores, Clark Gable and other. He was a free liver and a free lover. A passionate Irish fellow, he was wild and irresponsible, and yet irresistable in his own way.

William Shields writes of his father with a warm love, even though he does give notice to all his imperfections.

Don't want to review. Looking for videotape of PBS program.
Can you help? PBS ran a series on this subject some years ago. I'd like to find a copy.


The Dramatic Works in the Beaumont and Fletcher Canon: Volume 10
Published in Hardcover by Cambridge University Press (1996)
Authors: Francis Beaumont, John Fletcher, Robert Kean Turner, George Walton Williams, and Cyrus Hoy
Amazon base price: $160.00
Average review score:

An interesting collection
Having taught B&F in my early 17th cent. drama class, I can recommend Wit without Money and, to some extent, The Wild-Goose Chase. I would not bother with Wife for a Month, one of the weakest and poorly written of their collaborations. Nevertheless, this is a handy book.


Flat and Curved Space-Times
Published in Hardcover by Oxford University Press (2001)
Authors: Ruth M. Williams and George Francis Rayner Ellis
Amazon base price: $90.00
Average review score:

An excellent and crystal clear presentation of relativity.
This is one of the best introductions to the subject that I've read. The explanations are transparent with ample illustrations and examples. There are also many exercises to help the reader enforce what he has learned. There is also a very helpful annoted bibliography (actually the Afterword) which guides the reader to more advanced reading.

It is really a shame that this book is not quoted more often. Overall, this is a very fine book.

Wiggins is a smashing editor.
Since Amazon.com can't be bothered to list the contents of all the books, I thought I'd be helpful: this book contains The Maid's Tragedy (Beaumont and Fletcher), The Maiden's Tragedy (Middleton), The Tragedy of Valentinian, and The Insatiate Countess (from a draft by Marston).

The set of books to read about the Saint
This first volume of a projected 3 volume edition of documents pertaining to the life and order of Saint Francis will easily become the source for all followers of Christ through the inspiration of this timeless saint. It provides the best translations and most recent scholarship on the life and times of the saint. In many way St. Francis is the most universal and beloved of Chirstian saints. Often called to second Christ as his life exemplifies the ideals of Christian service. Highly recommended.
