Very readable, excellent recipes, great information, and lots of fun.

" Just over 1600 kilometres to the south of Hamburg and a little eastwards, a pair of F-104S Starfighters belonging to the Aeronautica Militaire Italiana, the Italian Air force, were high over the Adriatic and curving round to head back to Rimini for a landing.

They had been engaging in a high altitude interception exercise with a pair of F-15 Eagles who were well on their way back to base, somewhat miffed. "

So begins chapter 4, and there follows a fascinating description of just how the Starfighters trounced the Eagles.

The book describes how German, American, Australian (ex F-111 navigator ), Italian and British pilots are formed into a new squadron flying the new improved ( fictional ?) Tornado ADV for NATO. A darn good read which manages to pack in a feast of aerial incidents.... engine fires, blown tires.... plenty of dogfighting and of course the famous Tornado terrain hugging flights.... highly recommended.

If your preaching has become dry or application is a struggle for you as you preach, this book needs to be a part of your library.

As someone who wasn't politically informed, I wasn't sure what to expect, but the title caught my eye. I'm really glad I read the book, because I feel much better informed about the political process, and am able to separate fact from opinion when I 'talk politics' with my friends and family. This book gives me the confidence to talk intelligently with anyone regarding politics, since I am now armed with a great deal of factual information. It's a great reference guide for relevant information on any political issue, from term limits, the budget, the debt, government waste, and the Truth.

If John Jay Chapman is remembered at all these days, it is as an eccentric who once thrust his left hand into a coal fire in penance for mistakenly beating up a friend. This is as if Vincent Van Gogh were to be remembered only for cutting off one of his ears.Chapman was, in fact a brilliant and passionate writer in many genres, an unrelenting foe of social injustice,and a penetrating critic of American philstinism and materialism.The last anthology of Chapmans writings appeared in the late nineteen fifties , and was edited by Jacques Barzun, who has supplied a fine ,judicious introduction to the present collection.A welcome feature of the present volume is a selection of Chapmans unpublished letters--some of the finest everwritten. One of them includes one of the most brilliant and succinct analyses of Lincolns life and character that I have ever read. One can only hope that a Chapman revival will take place, and that someone will eventually get around to doiing similar anthologies for Sydney Smith or Albert Jay Nock.

In order for us as educators to effectively assess our students, we must decipher how our students learn and understand.

That's essentially what McTighe and Wiggins help us do here. I also bought their textbook for a course I took in Assessment. It was fascinating.

This book, along with the textbook is very useful in Unit Planning and shows its readers how to effectively use the "backward design" technique. Teachers, I can only describe the technique as assessment the way WE think it should be.

This handbook is a step-by-step guide with tons of reproducibles.

Very useful find for planning the school year!

In these times when Western Civilization faces terrorism from world-wide Muslim militants, we need to pay attention again to the word EVIL. This book uses the ancient Jewish Kabalah traditions to explore how and why evil comes about. Very thought-provoking.

I have used Understanding Isaiah as a reference book now for the past six months and I love how it teaches the wonderful truths of the love that Jesus has for all. I read through the Bible passages and try to understand, but so many times there are refernces to the way of life of the Jews that I am not famliar with and Donald Perry beautifully explains the true meaning often going with a phrase by phrase dissection of each verse. One of the best qualities of Understanding Isaiah is placing the words of Isaiah in the original poetic form. That alone reveals a beauty within the words of the great prophet. Each explanation then uncovers the facets of a glorious gem just waiting to be understood by all who will just look to be more fully persuaded to believe in their Redeemer as another great prophet said.
