Noteworthy and Sophisticated
As the now definitive scholarly work on Buibert of Nogent, Rubenstein's delightful insight into Nogent's life is a well-written and thoroughly researched book that deserves a place on any scholar's bookshelf.

China Ghosts: My Daughter's Journey to America, My Passage to Fatherhood

Astonishing
We were with Jeff and Chris in Langzhou when they adopted their second daughter in 2004. In reading China Ghosts, we were transported back to that moment in time when after years of longing and broken hope, a precious and beautiful girl was placed in our arms; reminded of the feelings, emotions, and passion of why we started down that road less traveled. For those who have adopted, are ...
THE HOUSE OF CHAN COOKBOOK

lmille
A treasure! This is clearly a period piece, the production of which would be totally out of the question today. The narrative periodically degenerates into broken English (Chinglish?) which appears to be completely contrived (and should, therefore, not offend -- although I am sure that to some it will be offensive). But beyond that, and more importantly, we have cooked from a number of the ...

I learned from this pamphlet
I have been all the way through education to a final degree and teach college now. Yet, this little pamphlet ells more about education, real education, than anything I have read before. It discusses how we need real education not just the way schools just fit us into the slots that this society wants, blaming our grades for giving people in 'good' jobs and some people into "bad," all to mask a ...
Beverly Hills: The Anatomy of a Nightclub Fire

Robert G. Lawson

, 1984
A fantastic book about a terrible event
It is impossible to read this book without a sense of complete dread; almost like watching the Titanic sail and knowing the inevitable, terrible ending awaiting everyone. Robert Lawson is so completely thorough with his details that you know the evolution of the supper club building and all of its pitfalls as they unfold. I had to stop and read excerpts to my spouse with incredulity in my voice. ...

Absolutely Brilliant . . . .
One of the few compilations of work that has been well thought out where you can feel what the author is going through on each of the pieces. Absolutely brilliant!

Essential Version of Classic--Enlightening!
Oh my gosh, this book is so cool! And so very important in understanding Verne's place in literary and scientific history. This large format book is an annotated version of the most widely circulated English translation of t he Verne classic. And because of the annotations, we learn how HORRIBLY Verne's work was translated from the original French. A great example comes near the beginning of the ...
The Trial and Death of Socrates: Four Dialogues (Dover Thrift Editions)

Plato
Dover Publications
, 1992
Plato and Socrates and the Immortality of the Soul.
This edition of _The Trial and Death of Socrates_ contains Plato's four famous dialogues between Socrates and his friends and detractors before the noteworthy philosopher was condemned to death by the Athenian tribunal in ancient Greece. I find this topic of interest because of the close relationship between Platonic thought and early Christian philosophy during the period of roughly 250-750 ...

Sous Vide Cookery
If you are serious about being a chef, you must own this book. Only a few copies are printed in English (relatively speaking), so take advantage of this while you can. This is destined to become a collector's item and will increase in value over the years.

Hiscock's Whole Series is a Sailing Adventure Delight!
On taking delivery of their newly launched steel ketch "Wanderer IV" from the builders in Holland, Eric and Susan Hiscock sailed direct to England. After several "teething problems" had been cured and modifications had been carried out, they crossed the Atlantic to the Caribbean and on through the Panama Canal; turning North, they discovered the delights of cruising the coast of Central America, ...
The Human Tradition in Modern Latin America (Latin American Silhouettes)

William H. Beezley
SR Books
, 1997
Latin America comes alive through individual lives.
This book is an outstanding teaching tool for the undergraduate classroom, and a fine introduction to Latin American history for educated laypersons. The individual biographies cover a wide range of historical experiences, but share the unity of revealing the lives of ordinary Latin Americans from c.1800 to the 1980s. Castro, Pele, Evita & Juan Peron, etc. are not here, but the subjects are ...

Opening up spaces
Edward Cassedy might not be Rachel Carson but he certainly makes a wonderful case for alternative fuel sources. Ever since September 11, 2001 - it would be difficult to ask for conservation at a time when we need the US economy to grow. Cassedy posits that our fossil fuel base is running out and it is time to look at alternatives - again. This book takes us through the history, configurations, ...

CREEPY...MACABRE...SINISTER...STUNNING...
This is the French text edition of a wonderfully inventive novel, "Under the Skin", which is strangely compelling. It cuts across many genres, as it certainly qualifies as literary fiction, horror, satire, suspense, science fiction, and fantasy. It is extraordinarily riveting in its telling, propelled by a narrative that is all at once creepy, faintly sinister and macabre, as well as, at times, ...

French clarity or Les mots justes
Reading scripture in this French translation will sharpen anyone's mind.The language is so clear and unambiguous so that the word penetrates and causes the thoughtful reader to re-examine his views on scripture.Credit must be given to those scholars at the Ecole biblique who began this translation in the 1960/s It is still FRESH to-day.
