I borrowed a copy of this book from my local library for the purpose of research for Wargaming (a strategy game played with scale models) The information in general was first class. Some of the info. I have not been able to find in other books. There is detail on vehicles of the German army, Which was & is my primary interest. The historical background, organisation of the Army, tatictics, Equipment -- The list is not endless but it it seems comprehensive, Detailed, Genuine

This is the the one and only living memoir of William The Conqueror. Although laden with some historical inaccuracies of pre-Norman England, this chronicle is perhaps the only memoir of William I during his lifetime. It was written by William I's own chaplain, William Of Poitiers(WP) who knew him personally. WP was a knight before becoming a priest in his king's court. His descriptions of the Battle of Hastings is perhaps the most valuable historical information about battle tactics in the eleventh century. Unfortunately WP was unable to finish his chronicle for unknown reasons. Speculations indicated that he fell out of favor in William I's court. This text in its original Medieval Latin was unfortunately preserved in only one manuscript. This original manuscript is now lost, probably disintegrated by a fire. Fortunately it was edited once by Duchesne in the 17th century. The edited text is used as a basis for the present edition we have today.

An absolutely brilliant piece of work dealing with the theatre. an absolutely mind boggling inspection of the psychological power of drama that sets it aprt from any other literary genre

I am only one of a lot of women out there but wanted to personally say I love this book.

I call it my "man bible". I literally carry it with me all the time. I don't keep it at home because heaven forbid he would find it. I have now read the book twice and am now going through it again a third time underlining everything that I want to emphasize in my head. That way I figured I could look at these lined phrases in those emergency circumstances.

This wonderful book has really given me new eyes to look through. I will probably memorize it from cover to cover and then read some more. I have already seen some changes! This book is the best thing I have found in a long time.

I had the very amazing privilege to have a bonding few hours with Mr. Greye this past Friday. He is a mind-blowing painter, wonderful poet (and listening to him read his poems outloud is just as great), AWESOME musician, and One Charming Individual.
Jiulian Greye is very honest. This shows in every art form he wishes to profess.
Included in this book are also poems by his son Ian, One Charming Individual himself.
Very pure, raw, and vivid pieces of literature.
Very recommended.

Kathryn Davis is a master storyteller in the truest sense of the word. Not only does she cast a spell over her readers, compelling them to read on and on, but her subject matter is unique and uniquely presented.

A fictional romantic mystery involving the intertwining of two unlikely characters, an elderly, Danish composer of operas and a young American single mother, the story begins at Helle's hospital deathbed and is told through Frances Thorn, the young mother and sole support of twin girls who was drawn into an intimate friendship by the elderly female composer. When Helle dies, she leaves Frances a legacy: An unfinished opera. Frances is faced with the task of its completion. Rummaging through the things that Helle has left behind, Frances comes to grips with her own identity as she discovers the hidden secrets of Helle's life.

Readers are treated to a look at Denmark and the Danish not found in a tour guide and a sense of the operatic that will move even the most hardened souls to music.

Through Helle and Frances, Kathryn Davis tells us that even in the darkest corners of our deepest secrets, liberty and salvation may be found.

My daughter (aged 7) identified with the Thai girl in this story, found herself caught up in the girl's desire to dress beautifully for her friends. Then, when the ending twist came, she wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry--but she loved it! I recommend it for parents and grandparents to share with early elementary aged girls (especially). the illustrations are also very colorful and appear to be culturally accurate.

This is an awesome book. It is about a girl named Katie, who has(of course)silver eyes. She has the ability to move things w/her mind, which is called telekinesis, I think. She doesn't have any friends her age, because they all think she is weird and they are afraid of anyone that is different (namely, her). Katie hears about some kids her age that might be like her. She tries to find them, and gets into some situations that complicate things, but Katie is desperate for a/some friend/s who understands her. I definitely reccomend this book for kids, or anyone, actually. (Although I hope there is a sequal written for this book, because this book is begging for a sequal)

This contains the history behind the famous glass flower collections at the Peabody Museum. It is packed full of beautiful photographs and you will be amazed how realistic (and unlike glass) these creations are! Simply excellent.
