This book should become a major contribution to Latin American studies, because it provides fresh perspectives on topics we'd thought we already knew well. It does so by relating Latin America to vital issues in history, notably recent research on frontier history, "the new Western history," & themes of race, class & gender. The chapter by Susan Socolow, discussing Argentine frontier women & thus engendering the history of the gauchos, is particularly strong, but so are most of the others. One drawback is that coverage is largely limited to the far margins of Spanish America (northern Mexico & Rio de la Plata regions), when there is plenty of work to do on the frontiers of core areas of Spain's New World empire, e.g. Peru & Bolivia. (There is some fine material on Brazil, but the book's main emphasis is on Spanish America.) Nevertheless, this work definitely advances understanding of important aspects of Latin American history.

...is what you experience when reading this delightful book. Extremely creative and filled with delicious recipes, this book became a favorite of mine instantaneously. I would recommend Cooking with the Bad Guys to everyone who loves a dash of chuckles, a pinch of history, and a healthy portion of spectacular recipes!

Never would one expect the stories of one man's erection be so thought provoking. I would recommend the book to all my students to read for the intellectual and philosophical aspects its has. The author has done a great job of turning the ordinary, evryday sphicter into an enormous source of pride for all men.

In need of cash, Polly deacon takes a job designing the props for a squabbling, dysfunctional touring children's theater group. But when the stage manager goes mysteriously missing before the first rehearsal, only Polly suspects murder. The local police show their usual lack of interest in her theories, but a series of gruesome, demented practical jokes proves that the killer is on the loose -- and it's like a member of the cast! Cue The Dead Guy is funny, engaging, cleverly plotted, skillfully written, and will leave the reader looking for more H. Mel Malton titles!

For all you Wraith players and storytellers who don't have any spectres in the game-- You have NO IDEA what you are missing! And, if you do have spectres but not this sourcebook, you could be doing a LOT better!

"Dark Reflections: Spectres" is Black Dog's first Wraith book. It does a GREAT job describing the mentality and characteristics of Wraiths who have fallen into their shadow. Storytellers will see how to properly incorporate spectres into the game, and players will learn how to properly play them.

Get this discontinued tome while you still can!

I am pictured in this book as a adoptions child. My name is Crystal Hart. My mom is Mattie and sylvester Hart. We met Dave a few years back at Wendy's in Orlando Florida. I would like a copy of the book so I can show my kids one day.

Clayton writes with insight, humor and sensitivity about the "tough guy" trap. Women should read, too

I can not explain completely but this book changed my life. After reading the book fully and then rereading it to apply to my life it changed how I viewed many things in my life. It allowed me to see things differently and then to react to things differently and find more successful ways in dealing with people events etc in my life. I stopped blaming everything on everyone else and took responsibility for how I look and reacted to things. That gave me strength to deal proactive and stop being a martyr to everything. I became an active maker in my life instead of letting everything else effect me. It was the right thing to come into my life at the right time. How I found it in the wrong section of the book store and how I happen to pick it up I will never know. But I am still very grateful.

Everyone who has ever had difficulty I have given them a copy of this book. And it has blown them all away when they were ready to see it.

I have read and used this book for Dr. Hartley's class on system simulation. It was invaluable. Incredibly insightfull and useful. Dr. Hartley's knowledge of control systems is very apparent and this comes through in the book.

The author of this study believed for many years that there was no possibility of remarriage following divorce. His study of the Greek and his familiarity with the Greek text led him to change his mind eventually. He came to believe that the innocent party to a divorce could remarry. He sites scripture to prove his point. This is more than a study of the separation which divorce brings. It reaches out to discuss how to treat those who are divorced. Frequently they appear to be second class citizens in the congregation of the faithful. The study is illuminated with the author's pastoral concern for all who are involved. How are fellow church members to treat divorcees?
Fourteen brief chapters are included in this study beginning with a statement of purpose. Christ's divorce law in Matthew 5:32 is discussed in the second chapter. The discussion continues with a study of the Jewish writing on divorcement. Does 'Put Away' mean Dissolution? Chapters five and six discuss fornication. Chapter seven discusses Christ's divorce law as seen in Matthew 19:9. Chapters 8 and 9 look at the meaning of fornication. The meanings of Romans 7:1-4 is taken up in chapter 10. I Corinthians 7: 10-15 is the theme of chapter 11. Chapter 12 gives the views of the church fathers on marriage and divorce. Chapter 13 discusses replies to objections and chapter 14 provides a summary of the evidence. A good bibliography of older books relating to the subject is also provided.

While this study was written some years go, it deserves attention as more and more churches are faced with divorces in their congregations. Both laymen and pastors will find the study enlightening and helpful
