Never before has a textbook been so clear in explaining the grammar of a language I knew nothing about. Kudos to Mr. Landreneau, he has done an excellent job. The Cajun language should be preserved and this is the best effort I have seen.

The Author did a great job writing this book in terms most people can understand. Illustrations were O.K.,Breed Predispositions were good. Covered everything that might be an Orthpedic problem. Great book to have on the book shelf for anyone with dogs period. Will recommend this one.

a great book for all ages my favorite book an emotinal book with great chacters and story line.

McDonald and Sanders have done an excellent job of convoking the best and brightest to discuss issues around the formation and understanding of the biblical canon.(Their use of the word "debate" for the title may be a bit of an overstatement considering the respectful collegiality of the participants.) Every contributor is a highly credentialed major player in the field. The editors express disappointment that Bruce Metzger, Roger Beckwith, Earle Ellis, Brevard Childs, and Gerald Sheppard were unable for various reasons to contribute articles. While their thoughts would have been interesting, the 31 Jewish and Christian scholars who did contribute are not to be considered second string (many of whom quote and reference the five absent giants anyway).

My enthusiasm for the thought contained in this 662-page book is based on having read the introduction and five randomly selected articles: "The Notion and Definition of Canon" (Eugene Ulrich), "Jamnia Revisited" (Jack P. Lewis), "The Old Testament Apocrypha in the Early Church and Today" (David J. Harrington, S.J.), "The Codex and Canon Consciousness" (Robert A. Kraft), and "The Problem of Pseudonymity in Biblical Literature and Its Implication" (Kent D. Clarke). As far as I can tell, these are new papers, not reworkings of existing materials. Harrington's thoughts on the Apocrypha, for instance, go far beyond anything he expressed on this subject in his own excellent book, INTVITATION TO THE APOCRYPHA (1999). Clarke's article on Pseudonymity answered a lot of questions I've had about this issue and I felt it did a good job of showing how a person's assumptions about a biblical book's pseudonymity (whether the practice is honorable, innocent, and licit or dishonorable, deceptive, and illicit) affects how a person is likely to judge that book's status within the canon. So far I've been impressed with everything I read. I look forward to savoring the remaining 26 articles.

Editor McDonald provided four interesting appendices and the bibliography is worth the cost of the book (they seem to identify English translations of scholarly works created in other languages when possible, though I noticed they did not do so with Trobisch's FIRST EDITION OF THE NEW TESTAMENT, Oxford, 2000; otherwise, the bibliography seems to be quite current).

If you're at all curious about how the Bible came to be and why different religious traditions have different Bibles, THE CANON DEBATE will give you lots to mull over. Accessible, but challenging.

This Marvel Masterwork is a full-colour, hardcover, action-packed depiction of Captain America's earliest adventures.

Inside this Marvel Masterwork Origional Stan Lee brings to life the Legendary Captain's Origin and his first adventures, with classically brilliant artwork, including the epic Sleeper Saga and the Red Skull's first explosive battles with Captain America.

As well as this all of the original covers are presented on the front and back of the marble-decorated sleeve as well as inside the book, each shown before the tale it origionally protected.

All-in-all a good buy and a good read. I don't have to tell you it would take thousands of pounds/dollars to collect these tales individually.

So basically buy it if you can get your hands on it.

The material in this book is incredible. I cannot recommend it highly enough to both law officers and security specialists. Dozens and dozens of blueprints for homemde bombs. You need this knowledge.

I picked this book up because of the back flap, and feel in love with it...It makes Wraith seem more like a real adventure and less like a game of rules and rolling dice. I think anyone who likes supernatural tales with down-to-earth protagonists would like Caravan of Shadows...

This book is a necessity for any first year cardiology fellow or housestaff managing cardiovascular patients. Thats all the time I have to write!

Lee Ramsey has done what few others have been able to manage. Most preachers aim their sermons in one of two directions: either in the pastoral direction or in the prophetic direction. Ramsey suggests that these are not really two different directions, but examples of what it means to care. Ramsey's book shows how care-full preaching, done with theological savvy, can move toward both concerns, instead of being conflicted.

The book is extremely easy to read, but don't be fooled; it's not superficial. Ramsey touches on all the serious theological issues, from the nature of sin (in its personal and its social dimensions) and the nature of redemption, to God's own caring as a model of congregational vocation. For Ramsey, being fully human goes beyond self-actualization and beyond personal altruism. Being fully human and faithfully Christian means being part of a community that directs its care-ing beyond itself.

He shows how sermons work, over time, to heal people in congregations and still create congregations committed to caring for the world. His evaluation of sermons moves beyond typical issues of "style" to demonstrate how sermons offer deeply theological understandings of what it means to be compassionate. Ramsey gives sustained attention to the way language and metaphor work and how illustrations function (sometimes against the preachers' intentions) to shape congregational understandings. His use of popular preachers is especially helpful. His close analysis of the layers of meaning in a sermon and how images and language work together is quite wonderful. His insights will certainly be helpful as preachers put together their own sermons.

Anyone who cares about preaching, or about pastoral care, or about prophetic ministry should buy this book. Ramsey's own style is clear and gentle, but doesn't shy away from the critical question: how does preaching create Christians who really care?

Highlighting actual professionals working in the field of family and consumer sciences (home economics) was the most interesting part in writing this book. Through the many profiles, it is evident that the careers in this field are extensive and interesting. They include the occupations of teaching and education but much more. For example, the traditional subject areas (foods and nutrition, clothing and textiles, child development, housing and interiors, human relationships, health and family living) are explored in each of five career fields: business, education and communications, human services, science and technology, and the arts. The pros and cons of entrepreneurship and types of businesses that lend themselves well to self-employment are included.

In addition to spotlighting actual careers, thirteen chapters cover general career education information, such as choosing a career, developing skills for job success, and finding and keeping a job. These chapters incorporate the skills that employers look for in new employees.

Careers in Focus - Family and Consumer Sciences is a textbook intended for secondary study, as well as vocational and technical education studies. However, its information is specific to anyone who is choosing a career, finding a job, and/or wanting to be successful in the workplace.

My background is in education. I have taught in Missouri and Wisconsin schools for over 25 years. My special interest in the field of family and consumer sciences has inspired me to write several cookbooks and guides to nutrition and physical firness.

May this book inspire you to choose a career that will be right for you!
