I think this is the most fantastic and authoritative book on Access and SQL Server that I have ever read. It is filled with excellent examples that draw on the authors personal experience. A must read!!!

this are very good stories about the father of leo cullen, only it is difficult to understand for people who are not english or irish because some expressions are quit difficult to understand. But, it is funny and it gives you a special feeling of your own childhood.

I have read this book and loved it,a good story of americana. A must for people who love the irish history in america.

In this work, Leo Perdue has breathed life back into the task of theological interpretation of the Old Testament by clearly listing, defining and highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of the various categories of Old Testament interpretation

Dr. Leo Perdue points out a variety of new and imaginative directions for Old Testament theology. The Collapse of History gives the reader both an awareness and fresh appreciation of alternative models to Old Testament Theology. Models, whether in science or theology, allows one to construct a new hypothesis with which one can probe, develop and postulate the unapprehended. What Dr. Perdue gives us is a box full of keys with which we may attempt to unlock Old and New Testament's revelation about God and ourselves. Especially provocative are the new and engaging approach of liberation theology and imagination theology. Each of these new schools of thought have encouraged me to go beyond my old paradigms and probe new salient theological truths that are implicit and explicit in scriptural text.

Both liberation and imagination perspectives approach biblical theology with vigor and relevancy for our needy world today. I remained concerned how much of academic biblical thinking has been done apart from contemporary theology leaving the learner to juxtapose the two, whereby they can bring a message of relevancy to his/her listeners. Context is critical and so notes liberation theology. Its motif is found in its solidarity with the oppressed and the downtrodden of our world; as well as its rejection of authoritarianism and hierarchy. The underlying focus of liberation theology is freedom from sin, selfishness, indifference and arrogance to others suffering and plight, that come from Jesus Christ. Liberation theology sees Jesus Christ as the embodied extension of Yahweh's identification with the suffering, the poor and the enslaved of the Old Testament: the suffering servant, the redeeming God.

Imagination theology has given us a solution for moving from the historic text to a contemporary context. Often biblical theology becomes bogged down in the nuances of scripture, not realizing that for the majority of Christendom critical analysis, historical critique and source hermeneutics are meaningless if the text, and thus the revelation of God, can not be applied contemporaneously. Imagination theology allows for a transcendence of the orthodox and thus produces both the opportunity and ability for God's people to embrace a new vision of order; a kingdom that is responsive to suffering, exploitation and oppression of all of creation. Theological imagination leads to faith; and faith leads to a vital, living community of God; a community committed to ushering in "Thy kingdom come, here on earth as it is in heaven". The work of Leo Perdue is an important reference for any serious scholar or student of hermeneutics and Old Testament theology.

This is a really handsome book and with it's companion (vol. 2) makes a great addition to world lit. on your bookshelf. Some stories are novellas and some are only a page or two long but they're all artfully written and come from old established translations from late 19th century/early 20th. For anyone who wants to tackle WAR AND PEACE or ANNA KARENINA they should read a little of Tolstoy's more accessible short works and they can't go wrong here. My only complaint (and this goes for all Everyman series books) is that the text printed on the other side is annoyingly visible making reading a bit of a chore. This is a major blunder for any series of books purporting to capture the world's best literature but if you can ignore this (or at least get used to it) this would be a smart purchase because the price is right (if you buy it here).

Wizard Grays world was dark and gray but then he thought he needs to add some color everywere.So he painted everything and the only gray thing left was his name "Wizard Gray" on the door. An awesome book for teaching kids their colors.

If you want to understand the relationship between advertising and mass media, this is the book you need to read. Dr. Bogart's basic thesis is that media is so central to our lives that its future direction should not be left exclusively to the marketplace. This proposition may surprise some considering Dr. Bogart spent most of his working career as a advertising strategist and market researcher. This book will have a permanent - and prominent - place in your library

A wonderful book to share with students preschool to 3rd grade. This book shares the insight of a different approach to life as a crocodile, and that being unique is O.K. and fun. A great story for all classrooms, especially classrooms with diverse cultures.

Our local teacher's union gives a copy of this book as a present to each new teacher hired by our district. The book is part of three books given to each new teacher. The other two books are: "Pitfalls and Potholes: A checklist for avoiding common mistakes of beginning teachers" and "Bright Ideas: A Pocket Mentor for Beginning Teachers." The books are wonderful for helping new teachers feel confident and pursue their classes with style and zest.

William Kloefkorn and David Lee face off in their first officially collaborative project. The two authors complement each other brilliantly, and each side of the book has a sister poem in the other, full of the wonderful humor and exquisite self examination that both Lee and Kloefkorn have always delivered. A view of life from what could be your own eyes, Covenants is a brilliant collection of poems about life, as simple and as complicated as that.
