South-Western College/West, 2008 Everyone needs to read There were a few sections of highlighting and underlining, but the text was still readable. I am finding this book very interesting. It contains a lot of information-a little overwhelming; however, gives a good overview of the principles of law. It is my favorite book this term. Most books I put back up for sell-I think I am going to keep this one.             Strategic Management: Text and Cases Gregory Dess, Alan Eisner, ...

Do not skim the ...             Image-Music-Text5 reviews Roland Barthes Hill and Wang, 1978 STRONGLY recommended for anyone with insomnia Roland Barthes strikes me as an unreliable logician and a philosopher that one should be wary of. His premises are largely unsupported (or supported only weakly) and his statements often paradoxical or vastly generalized. His vocabulary is of such an unnecessarily high level that it strikes me as a smokescreen for faulty logic. Furthermore, I side with John Irving in his defense of Kurt ...             Texts of Terror (Overtures to Biblical Theology)7 reviews Phyllis Trible FORTRESS PRESS, 1984 In memoriam...

Metzger, Bart D. Ehrman Oxford University Press, USA, 2005 Excellent introduction to New Testament studies Very little needs to be said about this book. It's an excellent introduction to the manuscript history of the New Testament. The work is well-written, relatively easy to read, and could be used by introductory college classes in the subject. Indeed, it was probably written for that specific purpose. As a side note, Bruce Metzger is a Christian, while Bart Ehrman is an atheist. Metzger even makes ...             The Revelatory Text: Interpreting the New Testament As Sacred Scripture (Michael Glazier Books)3 reviews Sandra Marie Schneiders Michael Glazier Books, 1999 THE TEXT of TEXTS!
