He presented the views of the pagan critics with both sympathy ...             Green to Gold: How Smart Companies Use Environmental Strategy to Innovate, Create Value, and Build ...17 reviews Yale University Press, 2006 Must read Excellent breakdown of the drivers for companies to go green. Also excellent analyses of strategies used by the corporate world to achieve their goals with green programs. Many examples of what worked and what didn't work. Great reading!             An Introduction to the New Testament (The Anchor Yale Bible Reference Library)49 reviews Raymond E. Brown Yale University Press, 1997 Extremely helpful and easy to understand I am a somewhat new Christian and have really felt a connection with God since becoming faithful. However, I became wary of Church dogma and completely literal, simplified views of info in the Bible. I knew it had to be deeper than that. I had a hunger to learn more about the history of the New Testament and it's books, letters, etc. to help me better understand it. This book was extremely ...             The Illusions of Entrepreneurship: The Costly Myths That Entrepreneurs, Investors, and Policy Makers Live By36 reviews Scott A. Shane Yale University Press, 2008 Believe or not, we study entrepreneurship, but much of our implicit belief about entrepreneurship turned out to be wrong I was drawn to this book when Dr. Shane gave us a quiz about the FACTS of entrepreneurship. Believe it or not, although many of us might have thought we were savvy in entrepreneurship, we got almost none of the questions correct. After that, I placed a pre-order for this book and waited for months before this book was first in print and available. It was quite a worthwhile. What we got ...             Lichens of North America19 reviews Irwin M. Brodo, Sylvia Duran Sharnoff, ... Yale University Press, 2001 Beautiful A coffee table book that you will be proud of! The most beautiful pictures I've seen on lichens.             J.M. Barrie and the Lost Boys: The real story behind Peter Pan20 reviews Andrew Birkin Yale University Press, 2003 Tragic and Beautiful Prompted by the movie "Finding Neverland" I wanted to learn more about the Davies family and their relationship with Barrie. My research lead me to this book. The tragic story of the boys and Barrie was an eye opening read. Birkin is an artful weaver of ancedotes, interviews and history. While I was reading the book I got lost.I started feeling like I was an intimate friend of the families, ...             Calder Jewelry16 reviews Alexander Calder Yale University Press, 2007 Fun and Inspiring! What a wonderful book. Beautiful photographs of wonderfully organic pieces. It's a joy for anyone who likes interesting, kinetic works of art. For anyone who works in metalcrafts and jewelry, it's also a wellspring of ideas. These pieces really help to open the imagination to the possibilities of what can be done with some wire and very little else--no solder, no kilns, no adhesives. The ...             Divorce: Causes and Consequences (Current Perspectives in Psychology)42 reviews Alison Clarke-Stewart, Cornelia Brentano Yale University Press, 2007 Invaluable Insight for those Thinking of Marriage or Divorce Clarke-Stewart and Brentano deliver powerful insights and advice for anyone considering marriage or divorce. They provide statistical evidence for the various causes and consequences that are associated with marriage and divorce in a manner untypical of most textbooks. This book reads more like a novel, as much of a page-turner as one would expect from any novel. However, the lessons learned ...             The first part of King Henry the Fourth (The Yale Shakespeare)17 reviews William Shakespeare Yale University Press, 1964 The two sides of Hal Henry IV remains one of my favorite Shakespeare plays, even though the tragedies and comedies get far more attention and seeming appreciation than do the histories. As an English major, I examined Henry's (Hal's) character, and I focused on his development from a somewhat foolhardy young man into a self-assured, even manipulative prince. It is hard to say which of these Hal truly is, or if he is ...             The Birth of the Messiah: A Commentary on the Infancy Narratives in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke (The ...18 reviews Raymond E. Brown Yale University Press, 1999 Magisterial I was reluctant when this tome about the infancy narratives had been recommended, and after the first chapter discovered this was no ordinary book. There are myriads of commentaries, but none like this! This book elaborates at length on the short gospel narratives of the birth of Jesus, and how the NT authors had woven OT material into those narratives. It elaborates on the role of the Blessed ...             Neanderthals, Bandits and Farmers: How Agriculture Really Began (Darwinism Today series)12 reviews Colin Tudge Yale University Press, 1999 A gift for the intellect The book barely caught my eye as it is so small, something like 5 X 8 in size and small as in 52 pages. I even wondered how much ionformation could someone share in 52 small pages. First off, this is a small book that is a series of short books by leading experts in evolutionary theory from the Darwin@LSE programme at the London School of Economics. Having said that, the book has 3 basic ...             The Working Woman's Pregnancy Book12 reviews Yale University Press, 2008 Complete and Realistic guide to pregnancy Dr. Greenfield's book is a complete informative book that provides pertinent information and comfort to those women considering or experiencing pregnancy. Her facts are accurate and reflect the latest "state-of-the-art" medical and technical knowledge. She addresses issues about the human emotional element that are sometimes forgotten in books of this nature. I highly recommend this book to ...             Ferdydurke13 reviews Witold Gombrowicz Yale University Press, 2000 Linguistic archetypes and immaturity "Ferdydurke" by Witold Gombrowicz has finally been properly translated into English. Not that this is an event worth mentioning in general, but the point to be made is that the world of translation offers room for all kinds of mischief and sloppiness. Who would have thought that it were perfectly acceptable for publishers to allow translation from a second, and not native tongue? Imagine, for ...             The Destruction of the European Jews15 reviews Raul Hilberg Yale University Press, 2003 A Seminal Work on the Holocaust Hilberg's brilliant and dispassionate treatment of attempts throughout history to destroy the Jews sets a new standard for scholarship and for the historical analysis of emotionally charge subjects. Through his own efficient analytic framework of precedents, antecedents, and scope of organization, Hilberg gives us a lucid formula for both understanding and explaining the subtext, context, and ...             Religious affections (His Works)16 reviews Jonathan Edwards Yale University Press, 1959 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 ...             The Encyclopedia of New York City15 reviews Yale University Press, 1995 Massive NYC Info..Accessible andUnique! Looking for very old maps of the Big City, the Mayoral and Presidential elections, Capsules of about every neighborhood in all 5 boroughs, histories of Broadway, Wall Street, MidTown, Columbia and NYU, the New School, and every other educational institution. Music from Classical to Jazz to Pop to Rock (but there is no listing for Sinatra! I think there should be.)How about the incredible ...             Beginning Chinese Reader (Beginning Chinese Reader, Part I)14 reviews John DeFrancis Yale University Press, 1977 good I'm not going to repeat what has already been said but DeFrancis states that this book and volume 2 combined contains 120,000 characters of running text using just 400-500 distinct characters!!! It is this repetition and various presentation of characters in different contexts that I find the most valuable. I am not sure where else you can find such a large number of what is essentially graded ...             Fighting Windmills: Encounters with Don Quixote12 reviews Yale University Press, 2006 What a treat! Not only is Fighting Windmills a great story about a great story, but it is a pleasant and enlightening journey down literature lane with Don Quixote and his faithful sidekick.             Tyndale's New Testament14 reviews Yale University Press, 1989 Excellent Rendition and Work When I read about Daniell's work and passion for Tyndale and his Bible, I decided to check it out. I was completely impressed with the work, Daniell retained the idea of Olde English, with more current English spelling, quite a fete. Interestingly, you will also read a quick history of Tyndale's life and desire to have the common man have the scriptures in his hand. What punctuates this work ...             Benevolent Assimilation: The American Conquest of the Philippines, 1899-190312 reviews Stuart Creighton Miller Yale University Press, 1984 Essential A very interesting story about the American armies attempt to end the Phillipine insurgency that broke out in the wake of the Spanish-American war. Originally allied with the Americans the Phillipinoes were angry that the U.S had promised indpedendence and from their point of view, reneged on the promise. An insurgency broke out and the American army used classic anti-insurgency methods to ...              search for books affections, agriculture, assimilation, benevolent, christian, commentary, companies, competitive, consequences, darwinism, destruction, encounters, encyclopedia, entrepreneurs, entrepreneurship, environmental, ferdydurke, illusions, introduction, investors, narratives, neanderthals, perspectives, philippines, pregnancy, psychology, reference, religious, shakespeare, windmills books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
