Great content, important read for any bible-believing, God-honouring Christian!
This book was written in response to the rising trends towards the acceptance of charismaticism in mainstream Christianity today. The introduction briefly outlines the history of the charismatic movement, and also the current situation in the world today. The rest of the book is divided in two main segments. 1) The first 10 chapters of the book where the authors systematically examine various ...
Two Leggings: The Making of a Crow Warrior

A review of Two Leggings
This book was prepared by Nabokov from notes from interviews between the ethnographer and collector Wildschut and the aged Crow warrior Two Leggings. Those looking for a general account of plains Indian life in the mid to late 19th century may be disappointed. This book deals almost solely with Two Leggings spirtual pursuit of 'power' or 'medicine' to give him success in horse raids. And by ...

A review from Shannon!
I saw SUE in Chicago last week. In this book I learned that SUE was named after Susan who found the fossils. Susan had a dog named Gypsy. They kept on digging up duck-billed dinosaurs. Sue's boned weighed 4 tons!! The Field Museum bought it for over eight million dollars! SUE is a T.rex. I think that SUE did fight with other dinosaurs. SUE is 67 million years old! I was happy to see SUE ...

Excellent book for divers and anyone interested in sharks.
What an excellent, well organized reference source for anyone interested in sharks, and especially for scuba divers looking for a good identification book. Of all the shark books I've reviewed, this one tops my list and is recommended to readers of my web site.
Criminal Law (University Casebook Series)

Foundation Press

A Valuable Resource
This textbook is a testament to the fact that Richard Bonnie is truly one of the giants in the field of criminal law. Everything this man writes is valuable; the chapters on mental health and insanity alone make purchasing this book worthwhile (Bonnie is an expert on the insanity defense). This book definitely leant itself to rich and provocative classroom discussions. I enjoyed the book ...

THE book to have re: the beans
For anyone who struggled to understand why the nephron concentrates, then dilutes, then concentrates again the urine, this book will do much to ease your pain. Since medical school I've purchased Editions 1, 3, & 5, just so that I could keep up with my interns & residents. Here's how he does it: #1: short book, (you know how intimidating those tomes can be) #2: lots of diagrams #3: end-of-chapter ...

The Imperative
The imperative for the Christian thinker is to integrate being a Christian with living and working in the academic world. A decade ago Should God Get Tenure? explored the legitimacy and participation of the Christian in the academic world. In The Two Tasks of the Christian Scholar, William Lane Craig and Paul M. Gould, with a cadre of academics, take the work of Charles Malik and propose the ...

Excellent introduction
This is an excellent introduction to a potentially complex paradigm. The concepts are presented in clear and simple language. Examples are used from the current literature to illustrate the points being discussed. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in Behavioural Genetics

A must-read!
This book is a must-read for anyone with an interest in elections and democratic governance. There has been much talk about the role of money in elections and the impact of campaign contributions on how politicians govern. But rarely do we hear about the people behind the money. Who are they? Why do they give? To whom do they give? How much access do they have to members of Congress? These ...

Quality supplement
This book by Iron Crown is a quality addition to the middle earth roleplaying world - it combines excellent material with an easily understandable, logical presentation pattern. I personally find Mirkwood the most fascinating area of Middle Earth, and to be able to acts within it is great fun. Dwarf, elf or hobbit; no character should be without a bit of first hand experience under the ...

Looking for a good diet book? Your weight is over.
It's nice to see more diet books coming out that are based on good, sound science- just like this one. In a nutshell, this book emphasizes walking to lose weight; in fact it even comes with a handy step counter so you can get a good idea where you've been (and for that matter, where you need to go). All in all, I found this to be a great concept, the only drawback being people who don't have ...
Hollywood's White House: The American Presidency in Film and History
1 review
University Press of Kentucky
, 2003
An American Mirror
Films in one way or another are a mirror for their culture in which they're made. They show who we are, who we want to be, what we're afraid we are. We do the same thing with our citizen kings: the presidents of the United States. This superb book looks at how Hollywood has looked at our presidents and thus how Hollywood has looked at us. Anyone interested in film or history will find this a ...

It's amazing what reading a good textbook actually feels like!
Let's be blunt: most science textbooks, especially at the introductory level, are terrible these days. They're filled with fluff, poorly formatted, have examples that don't explain the exercises at all (I shake my fist menacingly at Tipler), and above all, just don't teach the material very well. It's clear the authors understand it (usually), but it's also clear they just don't get how to convey ...
Behavioral Genetics in the Postgenomic Era

American Psychological Association (APA)
, 2002
Introductory book on behavioral genetics
The book is a rather good introductory book upon behavioral genetics, covering various emotional and behavioral disorders. It is stimulating and interesting, and very academic in nature. To a reader searching for practical implication of behavioral genetics, there may be little appointment. No matter what, I do agree that the behavioral genetics is a subject that every psychologist, or even ...

A magnificent guide to a magnificent group of plants
The flora of South Africa is a stunning example of bio-diversity in the world. Due to a large variety of habitats many plant families have developed a wide range of species, a lot of them endemic to this region. While botanical enthusiasts worldwide focus on succulent and caudiciform plants the unbelievably rich geophytic flora of the Cape (including the orchids) is not fully discovered for ...
The West Wing: The American Presidency As Television Drama (The Television Series)
2 reviews
Syracuse University Press
, 2003
Camelot the way it should have been
The West Wing is an idealized look at how the American presidency should have been; idealized but not flawless. Jed Bartlet has plenty of things to drive anyone close to him around the bend. This book looks at the Emmy award-winning series from a number of perspectives. Anyone interested in American history or the presidency will find this an essential look at a peculiarly American institution. ...
