These plays are fun to read. They might seem old fashioned because they were written two hundred years ago, but actually I think they are relevant today and any day. I've read all four plays already dozens of times, and I wish more people could become acquainted with this period's marvelous literature.

would like to know the nada book price on 1994 mazda pickup b-4000 that all .

Sylvia Townsend Warner counted herself very lucky to have William Maxwell as her New Yorker editor and readers of this volume of their correspondence would agree Warner wrote 153 stories between 1936 and 1977 and found a devoted and discering fan in Maxwell. Many of the letters deal with both Warner's and Maxwell's writing. On occasion Maxwell has to gracefully reject one of Warner's stories (usually with the reassurance that the story is wonderful "but not for The New Yorker"). But what the reader comes to appreciate are the writers' accounts of momentous occasions and everyday life. Maxwell gives us wonderful accounts of an Adlai Stevenson rally and the Vietnam Moratorium. His account of the NYC blackout (in a letter dated November 17, 1965)is one of the best things I've ever read and worth the price of the book. It's such a seamless piece of writing, with each detail depending on what came before, that to quote bits of it would be to trivialize it.
Maxwell, who lived with his wife and two daughters in NYC, is also good with domestic detail and affecting and funny observations. He relates a conversation in which his small daughter laments that he is bald."'Would you trade me in for a daddy with more hair?'" 'Yes," she says, teaching me a lesson."
And on his resuming piano lessons in middle age: ". . .And Mozart is sustaining though I cannot do it. I would rather not be able to do Mozart than any composer I can think of."
Townsend who lived in England with her companion, Valentine Ackland offers a number of home remedies for illness, my favorite being champagne for any ailment above the waist, brandy for anything below. And she writes with droll humor of her life in an English village: "Poor Niou (a Siamese cat) has just had her first affair of the heart, and of course it was a tragedy. As a rule he flies from strange men, cursing under his breath, and keeping very low to the ground. Yesterday an electrician came; a grave mackintoshed man, but to Niou all that was romantic and lovely. He gazed at him, he rubbed against him, he lay in an ecstasy on the tool-bag. The electrician felt much the same, and gave him little washers to play with. He said he would come again today to to finish off properly. Niou understands everything awaited him in dreamy transports and practising his best and most amorous squint. The electrician came, Niou was waiting him on the windowsill. A paroxysm of stage-fright came over him, and he rushed into the garden and disappeared.
He'll get over it in time; but just now he's terribly downcast."
The volume is filled with fine writing and the reader wants very much to know these two people personally.

William Allingham wrote this poem just right because you really believe the fairies. I've had this book since 1989 and the dust cover is unwrinkled and unripped. I will certainly hand this book down to my children and make sure they do the same. This certainly is a must have for all little kids.

Accessible, well-written, and utterly compelling history is loaded with facts and dates, but more than that, this book places each president in the context of his times. Therefore, we come to understand the era itself; with the policies, debates, and legal questions fully explored.

This text proved an invaluable guide to the subject of hospital finances. This was a subject I was not particularly interested in, and the book surprised me. It is readable and clear. The logic flows smoothly. There are plenty of examples, illustrating assorted principles. After reading several books on the topic of hospital finances, this one stands out for its clarity.

I think this is a wonderful book. It kept me spellbound for hours.

People of color are often conflicted when viewing the message of the Gospels, despite the overwhelmingly large numbers who consider themselves as "Christian". For African Americans, there has always seemed to be a disconnect between a faith which has been used at various times to justify the enslavement and degrading of an entire people, and questions are raised about the relative negativity toward blackness and black people within what is the normal canon of Christianity.

Some of these questions have been increasingly addressed by scholars in the Black church tradition who, armed with research and additional intellectual armor and tools, have sought out the origins and resulting historical praxis of systematic racism within the church. One cannot effectively minister to a people from a sacred text which seems to imply that an entire people are accursed, and destined to be enslaved merely because of their color.

In FROM EDEN TO EGYPT: The Book of Genesis Revisited, Dr. Michael Williams has constructed a very readable, and easy to follow exposition which deserves to be on the bookshelf of any Christian. With sound scholarship and methodology, Dr. Williams utilizes history, archaeology and anthropology to outline the "mise-en-scene" and social backdrop of the Old Testament and ancient peoples to delineate what he feels is the proper interpretation of the book of Genesis and its importance to the liberation of the African American.

The book is, and would be, a welcome adjunct to any biblical study program undertaken at the church or community level. Because of its organization, the book lends itself easily to being taught as "units", and also each chapter has its footnotes grouped at the end of the chapter for ease in locating further resources.

For the person of color interested in adding to their biblical knowledge, this book makes a welcome addition and for people charged with developing church religious education programs, it would make a valuable tool to be used by teachers of adult and young adult groups, especially in urban situations.

This text was VERY helpful. The illustrations and examples were enough to explain the topic without havung to read the entire book.. Also the problems given at the end of each section were very good. Some were tough; however, the author starts you out with easy problems and works up to the more difficult ones. This text definitely is a good learning aid.

It is an excellent book for understanding the basics of marketing. It can be said that it is the door to the marketing world. An ordinary person can go through this book and then can look forward for other advanced books like Marketing Management of Philip Kotler.
