Miriam Haskell Jewelry (Schiffer Book for Collectors)

20 reviews
Cathy Gordon, Sheila Pamfiloff

Schiffer Publishing, 2004

Costume Jewelry at its best
Dealing with jewelry is both to me, profession and hobby. So I also like reading books about the stuff I love, and this one really got past my expectations. It helps getting insight not only in a really interesting branch of the jewelry business, but tells also about the people behind the design. At the same time, the author manages to give a helpful guide to the ambitioned collector of that ...

Voices from Haskell: Indian Students Between Two Worlds, 1884-1928
Myriam Vuckovic

University Press of Kansas, 2008

Haskell Institute of Lawrence, Kansas, first opened its doors in 1884 to twenty-two Ponca and Ottawa children, sent there to be taught Anglo-Protestant cultural values. For a century and a quarter since that time, this famous boarding school institution has challenged and touched the lives of tens of thousands of Indian students and their families representing a diverse array of tribal heritages. "Voices from Haskell" chronicles the formative ...

The Haskell School of Expression: Learning Functional Programming through Multimedia

11 reviews
Paul Hudak

Cambridge University Press, 2000

If you like programming ...
in general, and if you don't know Haskell, OCaML, ML, or F#, then you really should buy this book and work through it. A generation ago, Abelson and Sussman wrote "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs," which brought world-shaping clarity to programming in the form of a generic, functional approach. In the time since then, "types" and "lazy evaluation" have fundamentally improved ...

Programming in Haskell

12 reviews
Graham Hutton

Cambridge University Press, 2007

Excellent Introduction to Haskell
The author has obviously explained Haskell to many people before, and drawing from this experience, he creates a book on programming in Haskell that is a quick read -- dare I say, even, a "page turner". Few instructional books clearly explain their subject matter, and fewer still make that subject matter a tasty treat to be savored. Not everything is covered, to be sure, and a few topics ...

Haskell: The Craft of Functional Programming (2nd Edition) (International Computer Science Series)

14 reviews
Simon Thompson

Addison Wesley, 1999

Review from a first-year computer science perspective
Most of the reviewers for this text so far seem to be more experienced programmers or computer scientists. So I am writing this review to give a different perspective. My uni has this year chosen Haskell as the INTRODUCTORY language, apparently because it: 1) Is a clear implementation of some fundamental programming concepts 2) Puts everyone on an equal footing, since no-one is likely to ...

The Haskell Road to Logic, Maths and Programming (Texts in Computing)

2 reviews
Kees Doets, van, Jan Eijck

College Publications, 2004

The Haskell Road to Discrete Math
Want to learn discrete math as in the non-calculus version of Math 101? Willing to work hard to learn it? Then this is the book for you! It is written in a user friendly style. The book has a chatty tone when explaining serious topics. The chat is the talk of experts, however, so it should never be underestimated. The book will teach you the functional programming language Haskell. This ...

Journey Beyond Words (Miracles Studies Book)

12 reviews
Brent A. Haskell

DeVorss & Company, 1994

Beyond Words
Since this book was initially intended to be a study guide for "A Course In Miracles", there is a tendency think that to buy this book would require an involvment with the Course. On the cover it is clearly labled as "A Companion to The Workbook of The Course" and is also designated as "A Miracles Studies Book". As a result I feel that this book has not yet reached a wide enough audience. This ...

Bryan O'Sullivan, Donald Stewart, ...

The Trouble with Harriet (Ellie Haskell Mysteries)

5 reviews
Dorothy Cannell

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2000

A winner as usual for Cannell
In Chitterden Fells, Ellie and Bentley Haskell look forward to a romantic vacation in France. However, they delay their second honeymoon when Ellie's long-lost father Morley unexpectedly (except by the Gypsy fortune teller) arrives. Accompanied by an urn containing the remains of his beloved Harriet, Morley settles into Ellie's home as if he owns it. The presence of a live Morley living with ...

Goodbye, Ms. Chips (Ellie Haskell Mysteries, No. 13)

3 reviews
Dorothy Cannell

St. Martin's Minotaur, 2008

Goodbye Ms Chips
I always love Dorothy Cannell's books. It had the right ingredients for a mystery book. It also had some suprises. The characters were believeable, you felt that you had sometime in your life run into someone that resembled at least one or two of the characters. It was good.

Magnetic Mansion (Return to Eden)

3 reviews
Forrest Haskell

Top, 2007

Amazing!
Magnetic Mansion is a wonderful fictional story based on a true story of a house that my family lived in in Michigan. Many of the details concerning the house itself are true and I love the way Mr. Haskell made the storyline interesting and intriguing. I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a mystery and doesn't like to get bored when reading!! Cynthia Bain Texas

The Story Of The Seer Of Patmos
Stephen N. Haskell

Kessinger Publishing, LLC, 2007

The book of Revelation pronounces a blessing upon everyone who "reads" or even "hears" it read. Yet, many treat it as a mysterious book that should not be read and cannot be understood. S. N. Haskell has opened the book of Revelation up in an easily read style that explains it and its relation to our day. This book, originally printed in 1905, makes an excellent study book for young and old.

The Other Voice: A Companion to the Text of "the Course" Chapters 1-15 (Miracles Studies Book)

The Other Voice : A Companion to the Text of 'the Course'
Along with A Course In Miracles, this is yet another extraordinary "helper" from above. I read it everyday and use it with my several-times-daily A Course In Miracles study. It's richness is truly beyond words, it's helpfulness is indispensible.

Rachael A. Haskell, 2008

Great therapy book
I am a therapist and have used this book with many children who have self-esteem issues or anxiety. They read it with ease and love how it rhymes. What they love most are the pictures of this adorable dog- he seems to pose for the camera and the kids reading making an instant connection!

The Wolf of Haskell Hall (Candleglow)

14 reviews
Colleen Shannon

Love Spell, 2001

A great retelling of the 'red riding' story!!!
A super romp. She is the heir to Haskell Hall, a forthright American. The LAST Heiress. Her fate is tangle with Ian Griffith the last of his line as well. Both are bound by a 100 year old curse that says Ian will stalk the night as a wolf and will kill the Heiress of Haskel Hall - just as his ancestors killed all the others - unless Lil can find away to leash the heart of the wolf and set ...

Social Ministry: An Urgent Agenda for Pastors and Churches
Haskell M. Miller

Herald Press, 2000

The True Story of Saint Nicholas
Rebecca Benson Haskell

"Hood, Alan C. & Company, Inc.", 2006

Santa Claus is real. His name comes from the Dutch colloquial "Sinterklaas," a short way of saying Sint Nicolaas. This charming book, ideal for under the Christmas tree, is the result of the effort of a great-grandmother from Marblehead, Massachusetts to tell her family about the real Santa Claus, a Christian saint born around 260 AD, known to us as St. Nicholas. His way of giving anonymously became the foundation for today's Christmas Eve ...

Bridesmaids Revisited: An Ellie Haskell Mystery

7 reviews
Dorothy Cannell

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2001

Dorothy Cannell Hasn't Lost Her Touch
Although I seldom read Gothics anymore, I read my share of them when I was young. Ms. Cannell serves up the standards: deep dark family secrets (one was easy to guess, but the others took me completely by surprise), great wrongs from the past that need to be set right, people being killed because they either KNOW TOO MUCH or could unwittingly REVEAL ALL. She didn't leave out the ...
