Genevra Gerhart
Slavica Pub

a really wonderful book!
I have the 1974 paperback edition, and I can't give it enough praise. It's simply awesome! It gives a unique insight into the customs of Russian people as related to their history, their land, and their language. In the preface, the author states that her goal is to "explain in what physical ways the Russian world differs from [the American], both the given world of nature and the world of ...
Getting the Message: A Plan for Interpreting and Applying the Bible
5 reviews
Daniel M. Doriani
P & R Publishing
, 1996
A Solid Introduction to Bible Study
I have been on something of a quest to find the right book to use in an adult Sunday School class on biblical interpretation and application. While this book still isn't quite perfect, it stands head and shoulders above the other dozen or so books I have read on the topic in the past year. If I could assign it a more exact numerical rating, it would probably be about 4.7 out of 5. The book is ...
Canine Body Language: A Photographic Guide Interpreting the Native Language of the Domestic Dog

Brenda Aloff
Dogwise Publishing
, 2005
Really helpful in understanding a problem dog
I used Aloff's pictures and descriptions of dog body language to try to understand an adopted dog that I thought was showing signs of owner-directed aggression. He wasn't. He was trying to tell me a lot, but I hadn't understood it. After I studied the book, I changed my reactions and behaviors. We developed a very good and positive relationship. He "mellowed" according to other people. ...

Great book to have!
I had this guide when I went to Kenya, and I highly recommend it! It was very useful when I got very ill and needed to explain to a Swahili speaking doctor what was wrong with me. I also used it when I'd go to the Masai Markets and I always got a much better deal when I'd barter in Swahili. The Kenyans can speak English, but they appreciate it when you try to speak to them in Swahili. I loved ...

Jane Teresa Anderson
Lothian Books
, 2003
Everything you need to know about your unconcious mind
If you think that dreams are trivial and unimportant then think again. As Jane Teresa Anderson explains, your dreams are the key to understanding why you feel and act as you do in certain situations. If you always know exactly why you react a certain way and are in complete control of any situation, or have never wondered why the same issues keep coming up for you over and over again, then you ...
Japanese Verbs: Saying What You Mean

Outstanding book!
I've had this book for over a year now and have had a chance to really wear the pages down. I must say that the lessons are structured very well and are short enough to make review a painless task. Something Mr. Matheson states in it is that Japanese is really made up of about 80% verbs and their various conjugations. That was a revelation that really helped to take me to a higher level in my ...

Excellent Theoretical Framework
This is excellent material if you are conducting any kind of serious research on NAFTA and its negotiations' development and outcome. It provides with a huge theoretical framework, every step of the process. If your line of work is game theory, this book will really help you (or at least it worked wonders for me). This is mandatory reference material for anyone interested in studying NAFTA.

A well rounded complete look at Ogam
I give this book 5 stars because in my mind it is the most well rounded book on Ogam and Ogam divination available today. Mr. Mountfort puts forth a scholarly study of Ogam including history of, his interpretation of, making of, and casting of Ogams. What struck me the most about this book was his painstaking effort to link for us the individual meanings to thier corresponding myths. Along with ...

Great for beginners
I bought this book in conjunction with a very very primary Italian language course, and ended up getting more from the book than I did from the course. The book is well laid out in the sense that every chapter is the logical followup to the previous one, and you get a great sense of confidence because it's such a great teacher, and makes it so easy to get to love the language. By halfway ...

How to Read Classical Tibetan, Volume One: Summary of the General Path

Craig Preston
Snow Lion Publications
, 2003
Great for beginning readers of Classical Tibetan
Preston's book is a great text for self-study. I particularly appreciate that he used Dzong-ka-pa's page and half Summary of the General Path as the basis of his translation training. This summary is at the end of the three-volume set that has been recently translated as the Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment. Each volume is around 350 pages. This Summary is, I think, ...

Good intro for Bible study
This was a book that I picked up for a class at Moody. I must say it went very well with their supplement material for a college class. It takes the student through the process of what to look for how too pull out key text, how to hold thing in context, how to cross reference, background, and a whole lot more. I recommend this book for any one who wants a strait forward look at basic Bible study. ...

A wonderful and witty book by esteemed children's author Bill Adler, Jr., the "Baby-English" book provides parents of young ones a snicker, chuckle and occasional true belly laugh.

Kent, Harold Richards
Augsburg Fortress Publishers

Best Introduction to Hebrew Poetry
The "Guides to Biblical Scholarship" took a decisive turn for the better shortly before this volume was produced. This is easily one of the better volumes. Petersen clearly demonstrates the techniques and structures utilized by the Hebrew poets with plenty of examples from the biblical text. Terminolology has become quite confusing in this area, but Petersen cuts through these ...
