A healing book
This is an excellent and healing book by a holy priest, which should not have gone out of print. It describes how excessive fear caused by neurological, emotional or medical problems can distort a person's religious life until he or she thinks almost anything is a sin. But better yet, it describes how a person can, with help, get out of this situation and reclaim a healthy faith life.

My second grade son's favorite book
I highly recommend this book for parents who think their kids are ready to try reading on their own. My son rates this book above the Magic Tree House series and surprisingly above the Pokemon books by Tracey West. I wish they would get on the ball and put out more Wishbone The Early Years books.

Thank you
When I did my BFA some 15 years Mr. Horenstein's "Basic Black and White Photography" was the standard textbook. This new title is more complete and better designed. The web content is superb! Well done!
Robin Hood and Other Outlaw Tales (Middle English Texts)

Welcome to Sherwood! (and Barnsdale)
Do you know need a reason to buy this book? I can give you an excellent one -- it's called the Table of Contents. It lists 700 pages worth of Robin Hood ballads, plays and more. It has the earliest ballads and plays where Robin is merely a yeoman, the first play that casts him as the Earl of Huntington, and later ballads that give the "origins" of Little John, Maid Marian and Will Scarlet. Also, there's an introductory article on the history of the legend and complete introductions and notes to all the ballads and plays. The notes and introductions are by Stephen Knight and Thomas Ohlgren, two top Robin Hood scholars. If you want to read the original tales of the outlaw, or if you are teach a course in Robin Hood, this book is an excellent buy. Just treat it with care. I notice my cover is fraying somewhat.

The Welsh King and His Court

Meticulous discourse of the Welsh royal household
Aptly edited by the collective efforts of T.M. Charles-Edwards, Morfydd M. Owen, and Paul Russell, The Welsh King And His Court is a massive compendium of essays filled with meticulous discourse of the Welsh royal household and the governmental roles of those officers charged with upkeep of horses, sleeping quarters, meals, etc. Primary source texts are presented in English translation, and the essays are written at a college reading level. The Welsh King And His Court is a scholarly text that combines deep thought with multi-level analysis of historical politics. An intriguing and recommended historical study, with a very helpful glossary, abbreviation list and index.

Just a beginning, but what a beginning!
This series starts off in a rather subdued, moody tone and gathers momentum as it goes. Very little in Moorcock is unexplained and apparent loose ends often get tied up in a different series altogether! His trick is always to leave you with a new set of mysteries, rather like the best detective story writers. It's one of the reasons you keep turning the pages and, indeed, keep reading the series! Exploration with Moorcock promises a great journey, some interesting discoveries and some mighty mysteries, just like space exploration, really, or 19th century exploration. This is what maintains the sense of wonder, even through his non-fantasy books like the great MOTHER LONDON or the Pyat series. As Angela Carter says in her introduction to Moorcock's book on writing technique DEATH IS NO OBSTACLE, he is a writer driven by a generous talent and an enormous curiosity. It is that curiosity which constantly drives him to explore new ideas, new ways of story telling and new ways of looking at the world! His influence has been immeasurable on the science fiction field alone. His ideas infuse the field. I read this first when I was a teenager. It led me to some of America and France's greatest modern writers, several of whom have already acknowledged Moorcock as a contemporary master! In England and France he is known as an important literary talent. This is a great introduction to the Eternal Champion series, but it is only a fraction of the mighty multiverse that is Michael Moorcock (as one of his own music hall characters might proclaim)! If you want wit and farce and Elric, try Elric at the End of Time. If you want dark melodrama and moody characters, Elric of Melnibone is the guy for you!
A powerful fantasy tale
"Elric of Melnibone," by Michael Moorcock, is a sword-and-sorcery tale whose hero, Elric, is the albino king of an ancient island nation. Elric lives in a world of magic and warfare; it's a place where humans have dealings with powerful supernatural beings.
This is a decidedly adult fantasy story; Elric's is a world of drugs and slavery, and this story is dark, violent, and full of political intrigue. Moorcock succeeds in giving the story an evocative, mythic feel. The author has created, in addition to Elric, some really memorable characters (such as Doctor Jest, the master torturer). The book is full of wonderfully cinematic scenes and skillfully realized fantasy concepts. And the melancholy Elric makes for an interestingly offbeat hero.
Ultimately, "Elric" is about such resonant issues as love, ambition, responsibilty, and the seeming pull of destiny. For a compelling companion text, try Ursula K. LeGuin's "A Wizard of Earthsea."
The Greatest Fantasy Novel of the 20th Century
I cannot recommend this book highly enough to any writer or reader seeking the consumate fantasy hero novel. Its construction and wording are exquisite, and it follows all of the classic elements Robert Campbell mentions in "The Warrior's Journey." Elric is such a rich, fascinating character that it is impossible not to identify with his struggles. The war between Chaos and Law is our own internal struggle, the warring conscience of Mankind, ever at odds, striving for balance, yet rarely acheiving it. Like Elric, we find only small solace, even in Tanelorn, for struggle is what drives us--the fire in the brain, the quest for the unattainable. We are all Warriors At The Edge of Time, and Moorcock uses his magnificent style to convey this ongoing war we call "life" with elegent prose that truly makes "Elric of Melnibone" one of the pivotal fantasy novels of our century. A must read! A perfect 10!

All-in one, explains the whole enchilada. Great for students
Kleppner is the one name I think when I'm in a doubt regarding any stage of the advertising procedure. The book is not extremely intensive, but explains in a precise way each stage. It might be too USA oriented, but works fine for international students. Surely a must in every student's library.
