This book is the best book I have found to help you review and expand your knowledge of Spanish. It is meant for someone who already has a basic command of the language. There are short, easy lessons in practical grammar and vocabulary that are combined with exposure to Spanish literature. The lessons are followed by brief quizzes with the answers provided in the back of the book.

Compiled and written by William E. Paul (Chief Editor of "Bible Editions & Versions", the Journal of the International Society of Bible Collectors), English Language Bible Translators is a biographical reference to 346 of the men and women who were involved in planning, organizing, translating, and editing an English language version of the Bible and the New Testament, of which there have been more than 300 translations produced in the English language over the past 600 years. Each individual entry spans an average of one page, and the entries are arranged by the translators' last names. Succinct and informative notes on each individual's life, ranging from the 1700's down to the twentieth century, make English Language Bible Translators an excellent and rapidly accessible reference guide for Biblical Studies scholars.

Lubitsch is one of the ten greatest filmmakers. Ernst Lubitsch's American Comedy is the best analysis yet written about his films. It's a shame that it's out of print, but anybody interested in Lubitsch should try to hunt it down.

I am director of secondary student teachers at Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri. I teach courses in Middle School Philosophy, Educational Psychology, and Teaching and Classroom Management. I have found this book to be very helpful in presenting information about the basics of the middle school philosophy. It encourages educators to seek excellence in the education of youth during this critical time in their development.

The title may be slightly misleading and even off-putting but do not put down this book. The authors summarize several years of research done at Colorado State University. This reasearch has allowed them to develop some powerful process models which explain the evolution of fluvial systems over time. These models, while derived from flume work, apply well to the real world. Observations discussed and inferences put forth by the authors have been documented in the field by researchers for companies such as Exxon. They fit quite well with the sequence stratigraphic ideas found in the professional literature published by AAPG and SEPM (to name a few). Every geologist who wishes to become a competent stratigrapher should read this book. A great follow-up to Schumm's earlier book 'The Fluvial System.' CJ

Having studied approximately 30 volumes on gnosticism and early Christianity (all of the others having been written since publication of the Nag Hammadi texts), I was astounded to find that a British theosophist, writing in 1936, had reached conclusions concerning human spirituality that contemporary writers are only beginning to approach.

Using meticulous, literal translations of scripture from ancient Hebrew and Aramaic, Kingsland demonstrates that the Bible did not reveal a new theology, but merely brought the teachings of the ancient Egyptians and wisdom of the Upanishads to a Hebrew audience.

Kingsland shows that Judaism and Christianity did not break new ground in monotheism, and that the term itself is a misnomer. (A literal translation of Genesis, for instance, refers to {"him, the gods" -- a deliberate ambiguity demonstrating that the divine is neither singular nor plural, but infinite and beyond definition.) He was also a fervent believer in the "power to move mountains." And, while giving no evidence that he had (or had not!) achieved mastery of the physical realm through his own spiritual development, he leaves the reader convinced that the powers attributed to Jesus are within the reach of anyone.

A must read for any seeker of the higher spiritual truths! If you read only one book on "gnosis," start here!

There's much more to the type of Frederic Goudy than Goudy Oldstyle, and you'd be suprised at some of the familiar typefaces that came from his hand. He created over 100 types, including what is now known as Berkely and Copperplate. Most designers are lucky if ONE of their types finds its way into common use. Goudy has at least ten. This is a facsimile of a volume that appeared in Goudy's lifetime. My only complaint is that I wish it had been reproduced on letterpress -- printed pages produced by modern means do not carry the same authority, or produce the characteristic relief of the old printing methods. Nonetheless, we are fortunate to have it available.

One of his many on the city's neighborhoods, this book captures the old balck U Street in all its glory. Nicely done indeed!

The back cover describes this as "a wholly unprecedented form of novelistic photojournalism."

It's unprecedented, alright. I've never seen anything like it. If you appreciate photography, and/or you're fascinated with psychology, and you have the intellectual curiosity to enjoy a new kind of documentary, buy this book.

The last time a book had this strong an effect on me was when I read Dalton Trumbo's "Johnny Got His Gun" in high school. Since then I've read many hundreds, perhaps thousands of books. I read an average of 4 books a week. I haven't seen anything really fresh for a very long time.

The book was written by then UW-Milwaukee Professors Starbuck and Nystrom. Dr. Nystrom, my graduate advisor, is an excellent author and the book provides detailed information regarding the structures and actions or organizations. Their theories on organizational decay are very useful in understanding organizations.
