I used this book for a paper I wrote on the Black Death, and I am planning on using it again. It was very useful and I would recommend it to those interested in this subject.

Unlike many magical biographies, this one has texture. That's probably because much of its content is derived from actual interviews with a great many members of Blackstone's travelling troupe, key among them being Blackstone's brother Pete and first wife Inez. For this reason, the perspective of Blackstone rendered here isn't from the vantage point of an audience member who watched him in the theatre, but rather a view from those who accompanied him on the road -- and that's refreshing. Vaudeville comes suprisingly alive with small details here, and Waldron does an unusually fine job of historical contextualization. Probably the best magical biography since Bamberg's Illusion Show.

The moose and the proprieter become great friends and the moose makes the townspeople admit how wonderful the food is. Children will ask for a moose to move in after reading this. The author read it on Chinwag Theatre- I want the tape!

Unlike any other music book I have ever seen. Rather than simply showing you various licks and techniques to memorize, Daniels goes deeply (really deep) into the theory behind the Blues, chord construction, major, Blues and relative scales, etc. In fact he gives a thorough background into music theory in general. (Though it is strictly via TAB, no standard notation here.)

The information is presented in the form of a story about and Old Man (called "Old Man") who teaches a young boy (called, you guessed it, "Boy") how to swing his axe. It sounds a bit hokey, but it's fun and it works. I guess that's what I like about this book. The info sticks in your brain and in your fingertips.

This is one of the most often quoted commentaries on the Book of Daniel. It has less information than Montgomery's commentary, but is more readable. Hartman and DiLella are often quoted in Bible dictionaries, encyclopedias, and other commentaries.

They include an unusual new translation of Daniel influenced by H. L. Ginsberg. Ginsberg believed strongly that Daniel was originally written entirely in Aramaic, and that this fact is betrayed by confused translation from Aramaic to Hebrew in the Hebrew portions of the book. Hartman and DiLella try to reconstruct the original Aramaic meaning by stripping away errors in translation.

The commentary has a lot of discussion of the "son of man" (or "one in human likeness.") It comes to the conclusion that the "son of man" originally referred to faithful Israel and didn't have a messianic meaning. The authors believe the messianic connotation derived from later apocalyptic literature (the Parables of Enoch and II Esdras.)

The commentary frequently cites Jerome's Commentary and Porphyry. They seem to be at ease with Latin, which isn't surprising for Catholic scholars.

Aside from the examples above, most of the explanations in the commentary are reminiscent of earlier commentaries like Driver's and Montgomery's.

Besides the fact that it's respected among scholars and frequently quoted, I think this is a good deal for the price.

I like it more that Di Lella's more recent commentary.

This is a well done book putting a nice spin on the life of Daniel Boone. It brings together historical facts from the time of this early pioneer and adds a host of interesting fictional characters and adventures. Nothing like a 12 month trapping and hunting excursion to make a guy homesick...well, at least for a couple days or so.

I was impressed with this book. Definitely a recommended read.

Fusfeld shows great aptitude in the great learning novel of economics and society today. This book shows that are wants are greater than are resources on earth today in our society.

This book was great in helping me get started with writing awesome proposals and submitting winning bids. Many similar titles don't go in to as much detail as this book. Since I've read it, I've submitted 8 bids/proposals and have been awarded 2. This is a great book for any small business owner in the consulting/coaching field.

Burmese Design and Architecture by Johni. Falconer, et al, offers a perfect balance between excellent photography and enlighting commentary, which together bring alive the splendor of Burmese, Mon, Arakan and other architectural styles.

Certainly a recommended book for the Southeast-Asia enthusiast!

While not a typical roleplaying game supplement, I think that this one is a must have for anyone with a twisted sense of humor. Buttery Wholesomeness has some of the funniest character creation charts and other supplemental material that you will ever see.
