Clear and concise. That it was written from a Jewish perspective -- somebody who could not leave any concentration camp -- made it even more insightful. We should all be aware of the history that Jehovah's Witnesses were quite successful in peacefully standing against Hitler and his regime.             Forge of Progress, Crucible of Revolt: Origins of the Mexican Revolution in LA Comarca Lagunera, 1880-19113 reviews William K. Meyers Univ of New Mexico Pr, 1994 Study as History demands, an insite to the Laguna. The Laguna Region has been mis-understood by many; not so a fellow from Australia and this William K. Meyers and some others, including Reed. How strange, that it will take "strangers" to document this part of Old Mexico, and then, so sweet... the Laguna was made by foreign peoples, not only of other States; Zacatecas would probably announce a good part of the population! The Iritilas lost, of ...             The Crown and the Crucible (The Russians, Book 1)16 reviews Michael Phillips, Judith Pella Bethany House Publishers, 1991 Strong Story Line I read this whole series a couple of years ago and after reading many, many books since, I still hold that this is my favorite book. The whole series is great. I knew nothing of Russian history before reading this series, so I learned quite a bit! Though the book is full of historical facts, it is written in a way that doesn't make you feel like you are reading a history book. The story is ...             The Standard of Honor: The Crucible of Honor Trilogy4 reviews J. Colford BookSurge Publishing, 2004 a very surprising genre this book does not fit into many typical fantasy or fiction genres. the impressive thing is that it creates its own, and you are not left wondering at a definition. very powerful religious overtones and incorporation of the Holy Scriptures makes the characters real and vulnerable, reliant on their God. The scope of the book is wide enough to keep interest, but focused enough that you come to know ...             Crucible of Freya (Sword and Sorcery)8 reviews Clark Peterson White Wolf Publishing, 2000 Look Out Wizards! I must say that originally I was skeptical of a non-Wizard's company providing materials for the Dungeons and Dragons game, but when I opened and perused a copy of the Crucible of Freya, that changed. The quality of the cover and the cover illustration grabbed my attention. I purchased it immediately and took it home to digest. The graphics are top notch, the plot and story are excellent and the ...             DWELLERS IN THE CRUCIBLE (CLASSIC STAR TREK 25) (Star Trek, No 25)7 reviews Margeret Wander Bonanno Star Trek, 1991 The best Star Trek novel I've ever read The two previous reviewers just about said it all, and I can't add much more than my endorsement of this book. I read this book for the first time when it was first released, and it has yet to be surpassed by any other Trek book I've read since. Like the previous reviewer pointed out, it was written before the writers' guidelines were established for Trek novels, and the result is an ...             Parris Island Daze: My Drill Instructor Was Tougher Than Yours9 reviews Bob Shirley Infinity Publishing, 2006 A Wonderful Book "Parris Island Daze is the best book I've ever read on boot camp at Parris Island. I've read every word in the book and even read some aloud to my wife. It's a wonderful, wonderful book that I hope all Marines will read and enjoy. It's great." Former Governor of Georgia and U.S. Senator Zell Miller, author of Corps Values: Everything You Need To Know I Learned In The Marines.             Crucible of Empire4 reviews John Edwards 1st Books Library, 2002 Well researched. What a great story! I really enjoyed this book. So much so, that after reading it, I went to one of Edwards' book discussions. His presentation on the Spanish-American War was very interesting, and you can tell that his knowledge of this often forgotten chapter of American history is rather extensive. His main character is a Seneca Indian named Elijah Wolf; a soldier's soldier, whose frustration with his ...             Art of Swimming: In a New Direction with the Alexander Technique2 reviews Steven Shaw, Armand J. D'Angour Crucible Publishers, 1999 If you swim, you should get this book. I've been a regualr swimmer for about 30 years - 4 to 5 times a week, an hour or so each time. About 2 years ago, a friend gave me a book about the Alexander Technique to read, saying it might be of interest to me and my swimming. I was quite interested and managed to attend a workshop where I got some hands-on experience with the work. One evening, a group of us went to the pool with one of ...             Crucibles of Leadership: How to Learn from Experience to Become a Great Leader6 reviews Robert J. Thomas Harvard Business School Press, 2008 Filling in the Blanks In 2002, Robert Thomas (the author of this book) and Warren Bennis discovered something important about how leaders developed. They had set out to determine the differences and similarities between young leaders (geeks) and older leaders (geezers). But the key finding of their book, Geeks and Geezers, turned out to be the importance of the defining moments that shape leaders. Thomas and Bennis ...             Civil War Petersburg: Confederate City in the Crucible of War (Nation Divided)2 reviews A. Wilson Greene University of Virginia Press, 2006 Great Inside View of The Last Citadal Before, During and after the War Will Greene, longtime National Parks historian in Virginia and currently the CEO and Chief Historian of the Pamplin Civil War Park at the scene of the Petersburg break through, writes a very well researched history of Petersburg giving the personal view. Through Greene's book you see the residents and the city before the war leading up to the political evolution of session. Petersburg, as noted ...             Crucible of American Democracy: The Struggle to Fuse Egalitarianism and Capitalism in Jeffersonian ...2 reviews Andrew Shankman University Press of Kansas, 2004 How what is came to be. This book is a well-focused incursion into several ongoing debates in early American historiography. Anyone who has read academic history about that period in the last thirty years should be aware of the republicanism-liberalism debates as well as the arguments surrounding the development of capitalism in the early republic. Shankman's book focuses on Pennsylvania politics during the years of ...             From the Crucible2 reviews Constance Bovier Xulon Press, 2004 Comments on "From the Crucible" Ms. Bovier's stories of individuals who have gone further spiritually than the 12 steps are a beacon for others seeking similar progress. The stories are reminiscent of those in the "Big Book" of Alcoholics Anonymous, but are aimed at expanding spirituality past the 12 steps.             The Crucible/Book and Cd-Rom2 reviews Arthur Miller Penguin USA Electronic, 1994 Crucible review The Crucible is very touching in places as Abigail strives and does everything in her grasp to get Proctor for herself, and ends up going too far. I am only 15 and yet I know a good book when I read one and this is a good book.             The Crucible (Twentieth Century Classics)2 reviews Arthur Miller Viking Penguin, 1976 "Show honor now, show a stony heart and sink them with it." When John Proctor says these words to his wife Elizabeth at the conclusion of this play, he has faced accusations of being in league with the Devil and is ready to face consequences meted out by the religious tribunal he has faced. Though he has sinned by committing adultery with Abigail Williams, he believes the witchcraft trials which have ultimately consumed him to be the result of human, ...             Russians: The Crown and the Crucible/a House Divided/Travail and Triumph2 reviews Michael Phillips Bethany House Pub, 1992 AWESOME!!!!! I loved these books! The story of Anna and Sergei and Katrina fascinated me till the end, and then some. The setting interested me, as did the time period. He made the characters real and believable. One of my favorites of his.             Dragon Rises, Red Bird Flies: Psychology and Chinese Medicine2 reviews Leon Hammer Crucible, 1990 This dragon flies! "Dragon Rises, Red Bird Flies" demystifies the Chinese Five Element Theory and other Eastern energy medicine basics in a readable format. As a practitioner of one of the Oriental modalities, I'm finding my understanding and teaching enhanced, as I enjoy Leon Hammer's expressive style.             Leadership in the Crucible: The Korean War Battles of Twin Tunnels and Chipyong-Ni (Texas a & M University ...2 reviews Kenneth Earl Hamburger Texas A&M University Press, 2003 A real gem For those who seek examples on what constitutes good leadership (and bad for that matter) would do well to read Col. Hamburger's work. Set in Korea during the pivotal months of Jan-Feb 1951, he tells of the Battles of the Twin Tunnels and Chipyong-ni as fought by the 23rd Infantry Regiment and its attached French Battalion. He leaves nothing out, not only examining the command styles of Cols ...             Tangled Lives: Daughters, Mothers and the Crucible of Agin2 reviews Lillian B.
