Wow! I was required to read this book for a history course, but was amazed at the depth and feeling that is gleaned from the immigrant experience. Whether for education, entertainment, or if you would like to gain perspective on ancestral roots, I highly recommend this book. In a semester of drab, boring history reading, this book stood out!

I love this book! Reassuring statements to children that Jesus cares for them backed by bible verses. Makes learning these verses easy and fun for children. The illustration of this book is so precious! It and the message of this book make it #1 in my book! I have the whole series for my 8 month daughter and I am buying it for all my friends with children.

John Grey Gorton is my father. Need I say more?

I may be biased but this book corrects many of the incorrect facts in other references. Enthusiasts either love or loath John Snetzler as an organ builder but he undoubtedly held and contibuted a great deal to English musical history.

A "venus fly trap" named Audry2 is created by a man in a flower store on skid row. When people notice how the plant is growing, the store gets more buisness. But why is it growing? It is feeding off the blood of humans and other things. Can Audry2 be destroyed before he hurts thousands? Or will there be more of them? Read the book and find out...

When my parents finally bought a computer, they also purchased this book. On the day my mother could explain Windows 98 to me, I bought a copy for myself. Simpson's book lives up to the claim that it is a friendly introduction to the basics. The author assumes that the reader has little or no prior computer experience, and the book may be used as either a tutorial or a reference. Simpson knows not only Windows 98, but also how to communicate it to readers. If you're new to computers or tired of just getting by in Windows 98, try this text. Illustrations, keywords in boldface, and marginal highlights make the material easier to find, learn, and remember. Additionally, there are chapter-end summaries. I also enjoy having room to make notes in the margins. The content includes: understanding hardware and software basics, organizing windows, managing files, using the web, getting e-mail, printing, troubleshooting, etc.

The quaintly punctuated title of Cardinal Newman's first novel, LOSS AND GAIN; OR, THE STORY OF A CONVERT says much. Nineteenth Century England abounded in conversion novels and Newman's stands head and shoulders above all the rest. That, at least, was the opinion of Harvard history professor Robert Lee Wolff in his monumental 1977 GAINS AND LOSSES: NOVELS OF FAITH AND DOUBT IN VICTORIAN ENGLAND.
...
John Henry Newman (1801-1890) deserves a far wider non-specialist readership than he now enjoys. Once England hung on his every word: whether sermon, philosophy, church history, poetry, apologetics, satire or controversy. He does not lack for professional readers who take up formidable masterpieces such as APOLOGIA PRO VITA SUA, THE IDEA OF A UNIVERSITY, ARIANS OF THE FOURTH CENTURY or A GRAMMAR OF ASSENT.
...
LOSS AND GAIN may well be the easiest and best place for non-specialists to begin with myriad-minded John Henry Newman. It is a novel about Oxford and fleshes out Newman's belief that students form their deepest convictions from their discussions with one another and not from teachers. It is also a novel very much like a Platonic dialog that presents and wrestles with various theories of why intelligent young men are either content to stay with their inherited personal faith or are moved to seek another.
...
LOSS AND GAIN covers six years in the life of Charles Reding (pronounced READing) and his interactions with family, teachers, tutors and fellow students of various Oxford University colleges about which of the Christian denominations and trends in England of the 1840s had greatest claim to be taken seriously and to teach the truth. Problems debated are perennial since the Reformation: is there a visible church? Does it have authority to teach definitively? What is faith? What is reason's role in reaching faith? Who needs a Pope?
...
A tutor's systematic lectures on the 39 Articles of the established Church of England, interpreted by the hero as mere 16th Century "articles of peace," a doctrinal hodgepodge of Roman Catholicism, Zwingli, Luther and Calvin, leaves an increasingly troubled Reding shaken in his inherited trust in his clergyman father's simple faith in the Church of England. Some of his Anglo-Catholic friends play at re-establishing Catholic practices without the Roman Catholic beliefs behind them. Others move towards rationalism and Unitarianism. Others yet are caught up in the emotional but action-oriented and society-transforming Evangelicalism of the age.
...
In the end Charles (like Newman after a 12 year struggle) opted to become Roman Catholic, thereby losing his right to take an Oxford degree, and alienating friends and family alike. He gained, he judged, truth and peace.
...
The debates of Oxford in the 1840s go on today in America and elsewhere. Recently converted himself to the Church of Rome, Newman pokes fun at the frequent shallowness and selfish career seeking that an Establishment of (the wrong) religion inevitably promotes. He also lovingly enlivens a bygone time at Oxford University where until very recently he had himself been the foremost leader of the Oxford Movement to reform the Church of England in a Catholic but non-Papal direction. Had he persuaded in TRACTS FOR THE TIMES # 90 even one Anglican bishop of the correctness of his Catholic interpretation of the 39 Articles, very likely neither Newman nor hundreds of others would have so suddenly gone over to Rome.
...
The book has color, humor, religious insight and respect for individual consciences. Charles Reding exemplifies Newman's belief that God leads each person of good will at an individual, unforced, respectful pace from his or her inherited religion toward ever closer union with Himself. He who first tastes Newman through reading LOSS AND GAIN will not be disappointed and will reach out for more and more of his works, both verse and prose.

John Stuart Mill sets the stage for all liberal political thought. He discusses such topics as the role of society over the individual, the role of the individual over society, the death penalty, the importance of the individual, the ideal voter, the ideal citizen, the role of women in society, and the importance of personal liberty. Alan Ryan superbly organizes this edition by also including some constructive criticisms of Mill's thought in the last partition. This book is an excellent edition for any student of political philosophy.

As with the first book, this one is decidedly and deliciously unsettling. Biscombe is a great place to read about, but I don't think it's safe to visit there. These stories combine that good old science fiction trait of making you think about things you thought you knew in a different way with the chill of the supernatural. Until I read "No Truce With Kings," I'd never realized that we citizens of the USA should have a more sympathetic view of Oliver Cromwell than I learned from my history classes and books. If I thought that what goes on in "Let the Train Take the Strain" were true, I'd be terrified to drive my car again. On the other hand, I'm sorry that "Rollover Night" isn't true. What a show! You'll meet with an interesting modern look at an ancient profession in "Canterbury's Dilemma" (No, thank you, Mr. Fersen). "Oh, I do Like to be Beside the Seaside (Within Reason)" is another story I firmly hope is purely imaginary because the implications are so dreadful. "I Could a Tale Unfold" should make you want to know more before you buy that piece of used furniture you have your eye on. [In the next-to-the-last paragraph of p.164, shouldn't that be "tail" end, not "tale"?] I'd hate to be guilty of writing the poem on p.167! As for "Up From the Cellar", it's good to know Mr. Disvan had a reason for putting up with Mr. Oakley all this time (even though the end makes even more interesting by implication the second promise that Mr. Disvan made at the end of "It Has Been Said" and what Mr. Oakley thought he saw on p.56 of "Rollover Night"). I'm sorry that Mr. Whitbourn won't be writing the stories that he describes at the end of the book, but it was nice of him to scatter these crumbs for his readers. He certainly succeeded in leaving me wanting more.
