Smith Word Dancer Press, 2004 History at its best So many books appear yearly on San Francisco that it's easy to miss one - and San Francisco's Lost Landmarks is not one to miss; it holds riches like few others. Where competitors offer listings of dates and facts, San Francisco's Lost Landmarks uses vintage pictures to blend with history to tell of lost pieces of the past. From the Tivoli Opera House and Gardens to Ralston's failed Grand Hotel, ...             Domino System Administration (Landmark)28 reviews Rob Kirkland Sams, 1999 Nice Admin Guide, Lots of Reading A good book that has a lot of Domino Information. I find myself referencing it from time to time. A nice tool to have at your disposal.             Holiness17 reviews Old LandMark Publishing, 2006 Holiness Excellent treatise on holiness and the Christian life. I would highly recommend it.             Guadalcanal: The Definitive Account of the Landmark Battle45 reviews Richard Frank Random House, 1990 History at its Best All but one of the other reviewers has given this book a four or five star rating. There is a reason. This is an exceptionally well-written book that covers a broad range of topics. Most military historians pick one type of warfare--ground, naval, or air combat--and focus on that area, even if they look at a number of different wars. Guadalcanal does not lend itself to such a focus. It was ...             50 Success Classics: Winning Wisdom for Life and Work from 50 Landmark Books16 reviews Tom Butler-Bowdon Nicholas Brealey Publishing, 2004 I strongly believe the three books in the author's trilogy are really an intellectual treasure! 50 Self-Help Classics: 50 Inspirational Books to Transform Your Life, From Timeless Sages to Contemporary Gurus 50 Success Classics: Winning Wisdom for Life and Work from 50 Landmark Books 50 Spiritual Classics: Timeless Wisdom from 50 Great Books on Inner Discovery, Enlightenment and Purpose In the first instance, I have bought these three books in one go because I have been fascinated ...             Absolute Surrender18 reviews Old LandMark Publishing, 2004 A Favorite Right up there near Brother Lawrence's "The Practice of the Presence of God" (free online at the Practice Gods Presence web site) are the wonderful works of Andrew Murray. "Absolute Surrender" is a classic in every sense. These gifted children of God have a way of restating, enlivening, and magnifying the very words of Our Lord and do greatly glorify Our Father.             Class Action: The Story of Lois Jenson and the Landmark Case That Changed Sexual Harassment Law25 reviews Clara Bingham, Laura Leedy Gansler Doubleday, 2002 Iron determination Like some other reviewers I came across this book after seeing the movie North Country. The movie though is just good entertainment pulling at the heartstrings and very loosely based on the legal problems of single mother Lois Jenson. The book, I'm pleased to say, is much more gripping and will keep you turning the pages until the end. I thought it raised various issues like: *Why did ...             Thirty seconds over Tokyo (Landmark books)24 reviews Ted W Lawson Random House, 1981 A Classic Rememberance of World War II I first read this book so many years ago that I can't remember, but I think it was about when I was in the eighth grade, say about 1955. I remember the book, and I remember the Van Johnson movie. The scene where the Chinese peasant brings Van Johnson the pair of slippers only to see that he has lost one leg stays with me even now. ==This is a classic book. It was written by one of the pilots on ...             The Attributes of God23 reviews Old LandMark Publishing, 2005 Know who God is. Pink gives an in depth look at who the Bible says God is. It is extremely Biblically based, with every page having numerous scripture references. It is important to know who the God of the Bible is. Most who profess belief in the God of the Bible think they know who that God is. Yet, if the god we have in our thoughts does not match the God as recorded in the Bible we are in error.             The Imitation of Christ72 reviews Old LandMark Publishing, 2005 The treasure Why claim trinkets when you can read one of the best devotionals on the market. I use it to keep my daily life in check, to remember to have the right focus and to live what I believe. This is the top of the charts for a "Christian" work. Brother A'Kempis was a great instructor and a wise disciple. So much of todays mediocre fluff is twisted by society, self centeredness and lazy Christianity ...             An American Summer12 reviews Frank Deford Sourcebooks Landmark, 2003 Don't judge a book by its cover... I have to admit I was reluctant to read this book club pick when I saw the cover. It looked like a trashy summer novel without much substance. How wrong I was! Frank Deford brings the summer of 1954 to life with his novel about the unlikely friendship between a 14 year old boy, Christy Bannister, and 23 year old Kathryn Slade. When Christy rescues Kathryn's dog from near disaster, he is ...             Don't Feed the Monster on Tuesdays!: The Children's Self-Esteem Book12 reviews Adolph Moser Landmark Editions, 1991 Amazing Book! I can't get over how incredible this book is! I was excited by the titles and reviews but wasn't sure how it would be received by my kids. They were rivoted by the book (my intonations helped a bit ;) and as soon as we finished we did some great role-playing of what makes the monster grow and shrink. I'm so happy - what a great tool to refer to in our everyday conversations! THANK YOU ...             Photographing the Southwest: A Guide to the Natural Landmarks of Southern Utah & Southwest Colorado15 reviews Laurent Martres Graphie Intl, 2002 Where in the World is Laurent? As others have said, this is a great book, both for photographers and visitors interested in "off the beaten path" advice. Laurent really helped me to find some of the most beautiful parts of this country, particularly in the escalente area, bryce, zion, and avoid some of the more crowded and touristy places. Wether you take pictures with an SLR, disposable, or just with your eyes, you can ...             Brief Gaudy Hour: A Novel of Anne Boleyn12 reviews Margaret Campbell Barnes Sourcebooks Landmark, 2008 captures the spirit and essence of Anne Boleyn Anne Boleyn stands alone in her garden taking in the tranquility and joy of her surroundings, before her life is changed forever when she is summoned to court to serve for Katherine of Arragon - Queen of England. It was while serving the Queen that she caught the attention of Henry VIII - King of England and husband to Katherine. Anne, though, is deeply in love with Harry Percy. It was an ...             The Little House Guidebook11 reviews William Anderson Demco Media, 1996 Invaluable Resource for Little House Fans William Anderson has done a fabulous job in painstakingly documenting everything there is to see from New York to South Dakota that has anything to do with Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Little House" series. Ever wondered what happened to Pa's fiddle? Or if the house dug out from the banks of Plum Creek is still intact? This book has the answers. Complete with color photographs, addresses, phone ...             Religious Affections16 reviews Old LandMark Publishing, 2005 Rich, Rewarding, and Convicting This is one of the great devotional Christian classics of the 18th century, but it still packs a mighty punch today. It began its life as a series of sermons preached by Edwards to his Northampton congregation in 1742 and 1743, and was first published in 1746. Edwards discusses the place of religious fervor and feelings in the Christian life. For those who prefer a more staid and serene Christian ...             February House: The Story of W. H. Auden, Carson McCullers, Jane and Paul Bowles, Benjamin Britten, and Gypsy ...16 reviews Sherill Tippins Houghton Mifflin, 2005 The bump and grind of a literary bawdy house Sherill Tippins has done an amazing job of finding the significant narrative threads in the chaotic convergence of creative lives that occurred in the months before Pearl Harbor when Harper's Bazaar editor George Davis and British expatriate poet W.H. Auden rented a brownstone on 7 Middagh Street in Brooklyn Heights and actively recruited other creative artists to live with them. Among the ...             In the Castle of the Flynns16 reviews Michael Raleigh Sourcebooks Landmark, 2002 Chicago natives, take note! Look at this list and see if any items bring back memories: Wieboldt's, "suntan lotion," Shedd Aquarium, forest preserves, "da boda ya," Belmont Avenue, trolley buses, Waveland Avenue, Wrigley Field, Ernie Banks, calling your mother "Ma," calling soda "pop." Well? If those make your past come blowing into your present, then this book is for you. Anyone who grew up in an ethnic working-class ...             The Diamond Conspiracy15 reviews Nicolas Kublicki Sourcebooks Landmark, 2003 A powerful read The book is extremely well-researched and it transports you from the halls of the Justice Department to places like the Vatican, Beverly Hills and Russia. The Russian passages were most intriguing -- I felt I was actually there. The research gives this book its strong feel of authenticity. You almost have to wonder just how deep the author slipped into the closed circles of hidden power to ...             Joseph Lowery's Beyond Dreamweaver14 reviews Joseph Lowery New Riders Press, 2002 TAP INTO THE POWER OF DREAMWEAVER MX !
