I am a former student of Dra. Benito-Vessels and I have to say that I loved this book. It was used in a class about Spanish Women in the Middle Ages and this book was interesting and informative. Both of the authors did a great job presenting different facets of the lives of Spanish women in the middle ages and it really taught a great deal about those times. On a topic that does not have a great deal of information, these two women made the book come alive with history and got me interested in learning more and more about the topic. I would recommend this book to any Spanish History buff that is interested in the rols of women in the Middle Ages. Particularly facinating are the stories about Jewish Women in the Middle Ages and what they went through to survive the Expulsions/Conversions of Jews in 1492. This is a MUST READ. Felicitaciones a las dos escritoras!

This is an excellent source for the serios student of vernacular architecture. Noble's book is thorough. He introduces the reader to the evolution of barns and catagorizes barnes by ther ethnic orgin - i.e. German Barn; English Barn. The book contains many photos, but as imoprtant are the plan and section diagrams that Noble provides. This is an excellent sourcebook.

This is a very helpful guide for general readers and for college students taking courses on British history. It can also be used as a quick argument-settler even by university academics. The timeline in the back of the book is a great bonus, as well as the dynastic charts. Given that it is only 372 pages, it is extremely comprehensive, with fairly good coverage of Scottish and Irish topics as well as the English side of things. Occasionally it does lack topics, but almost never misses out on basic themes and names and places. Wordsworth, like Penguin (and unlike Dover), tends to use a cheap paper stock. But the good news is that Wordsworth usually underprices Penguin. I think so highly of this little pocket book in terms of its value-for-money that I wanted to assign it for my History of Modern Britain class. I was very sorry that it was then "out of print". I hope that Wordsworth gets it back on shelves (and on Amazon's ready-to-ship-list) and into readers' hands soon.

With a wealth of archival sources previously unavailable, this first study of eighteenth-century Russian Freemasonry to appear in English examines the Masonic lodges and their meaning for the men who were drawn to them. As some of the earliest organizations in Russia to open membership beyond social class, the lodges offered the opportunity for social interaction, personal discipline, and a free exchange of ideas. Teaching new standards of civility and politeness, they helped to prepare the way for the birth of a civil society in Russia. WORKING THE ROUGH STONE reveals the private world of Masonic lodges and the significance of the brothers' rituals and practices. By "working the rough stone" of their inner thoughts and feelings, the social and intellectual leaders who belonged to the lodges sought to distinguish themselves as champions of moral enlightenment. As men of conscience and superior moral worth, many envisioned a future of social action that could bring about change without challenging the social and political precepts on which Russia's stability depended. In addition to exploring the inner workings of the Masonic lodges, WORKING THE ROUGH STONE shows how Freemasonry became part of a larger social transformation that saw the development of salons, literary circles, and learned societies. As quiet shelters for men of learning and conscience, these institutions offered a social alternative to life at the tsarist court. The lodges thus played an important role in fashioning personal and social identities at a time when questions of identity were widely debated in Russia. During the reign of Catherine the Great, the lodges were perceived as havens for democratic ideas dangerous to the aristocracy, and many of them were forced to close their doors. Freemasonry would eventually flourish again in Russia, although the lodges' fortunes have fluctuated with history's upheavals. For Smith, Freemasonry is a prism through which to view changes in Russian society Anyone interested in Russia, Europe during the Enlightenment, and the history of Freemasonry will find WORKING THE ROUGH STONE rich with insight into the hidden social nexuses that created cultural politics in the 18th century.

This book rocks!! It has everything: sex, violence, royalty, political intrigue and buried treasure. The sweeping cinematic imagery of this rip-roaring thriller had me perched on the edge of my seat - unputdownable!! It captures contemporary Scottish aspirations for independence together with trans-atlantic interest. Buy this book!! Apart from anything having been written by a fellow Houston it should be on anyone's bookcase.

I really enjoyed Nancy Feldbush's first book, "Walking in the Midst", so I knew I had to read the sequel. As much as I liked the first book (5 stars), I liked this one even better. The book has everything--romance, mystery, suspence, and a positive theme. It's the kind of book that makes you feel good when you're done. I'm totally hooked on the characters. This book can be read as either a stand-alone or a sequel (but it would be a shame to miss out reading the first one). I hope this author writes more books--and soon!
