This book was pretty good, although it does have some slow parts. The hero and heroine are Cole Barton and Kristina Parker. Kristina comes to Texas to see Cole's best friend Drake Carlson and ask him for help after she wounds a rich and influential man when he attacks her. She knows she is only a lowly maid and will probably go to prison for wounding a well respected and wealthy man, even though she was only defending herself. She leaves Philadelphia and goes to Texas under the guise of her employer Samantha Carlson, Drake's daughter, she plans to tell Drake the truth immediately, but when she gets to Texas Drake has had a heart attack and she cannot tell him the truth for fear the shock will kill him. He has not seen Samantha since she was three, and since Samantha and Kristina have similar coloring, he does not realize she is not his daughter. He asks on his deathbed that she marry Cole so he can die in peace. They marry and Kristina falls in love with Cole but fears what he will do when he finds out the truth. Sweet and romantic.

This is a detailed examination of New Deal industrial policy and how it attempted to grapple with the problem of "monopoly." The problem, in short, is this: Americans want the benefits of large-scale industrial production such as lower prices, greater economic security, etc. At the same time, we suspect that such a system may threaten individualism and democracy through over-bureaucratization and concentration of power.

This ambivalence is reflected in the incoherence of New Deal policy. The book traces the evolution of policy from the government-sponsored cartels of the NRA in the early days, to the partial planning in agriculture and transportation, to Thurman Arnold's vigorous antitrust campaign of the late 30s. The final section of the book deals with FDR's response to the 1937 economic downturn, when broad reform programs gave way to deficit spending.

This is also the story of the conflicting goals of different schools of thought within the Roosevelt Administration: At one end were the planners who saw "bigness" as inevitable and beneficial, but who wanted a more centralized process of economic decision-making. At the other end were those antitrusters who wanted to break up large organizations in the name of "competition." Professor Hawley points out that these conflicting approaches resulted not only from economic theorizing but also from a "clash of values," values inherited from the Hamiltonian and Jeffersonian traditions respectively.

I recommend this book not only for majors in History or Politics, but also for general readers who want to think more clearly about political economy. Professor Hawley clearly defines his problem and examines the record thoroughly. He offers no neat solutions, but sheds much light through his scholarship.

This is a great book. It is full of helpful hints for any youth worker or youth pastor. I loved reading this book because it was so helpful in giving ideas and helpful stragedies to work with teenagers in different settings. I would stronlgy recommend this book to anyone who was thinking about working with youth. Also, this book contains helpful information if you wanted to start a youth ministry of your own.

This book is a very good book to begin exploration of the ongoings between North and South Korean since the Korean War. Mr. Kirkbride is knowledgable on a variety of events which have ensued following the Korean War. This book provides its reader with a great beginning point for exploring the subject and a good summary of major events since the Korean War.

There were two negatives to this book. The first was that the summaries of the events were not very detailed, and sometimes it was difficult to actually know the outcome of the situation. Had I not been already familiar with the incidents, I would not have fully understood their significance. The second negative was a lack of editing. There were numerous typographical errors throughout the book. For me, this is a big detractor and the primary reason I rated the book with 4 stars.

If you are looking for a solid compilation of major aggressions which have occurred between North and South Korea since the resolution of the Korean Conflict in 1953, this is a very good book.

The majority of clinically trained chaplains for 50 years owe a huge debt to Wayne Oates. Since his influence spread through the Clinical Pastoral Education Movement, anyone serving as chaplain is on speaking terms with his 40-50 books & hundreds of articles.

In his preface he clearly states his goal: "The disciplines of nurturing silence are what this book is about." Dr. Oates keeps his constant theme: "discovering your privacy in order to nurture silence is to discover, Ecstasy as an entrancing joy. It means 'to stand outside of oneself or apart from' so that you center down in silence." Then he proceeds to develop those ideas just like he spoke and/or taught in seminary lectures & seminars.

Our beloved mentor, still a gifted imaginative writer draws upon scripture, stories, poetry, philosophy & nature, exactly like he taught Pastoral Psychology & Theology. To catch a short glimmer or taste of his gourmet thoughts, I dare you to risk getting hooked on his deep Wisdom of the Spirit in a sample of Oates!

As an avid fan of the greastest sport in the world this book is a must. Baseball is a complex sport with many rules and regulations . To truly enjoy the "GAME" you need to know the rules. Why did manager X do that or why is that play illegal are questions that can be researched and analyzed and debated . This book is the final word . Also now that major league umpires are all under one roof it will be more interesting to see how they interpert these rules .

This book is broken into 6 section regarding the Duke. The first part is about his early years. Section 2 is full of trivia questions about the Duke for each 10 year era. Section 3 covers all about his movies, directors, and others that he worked with. It has some very good pictures. Section 4 covers items named or made of or in his likeness. Section 5 is about his television specials and more questions about him that you didn't know. Section 6 is about book written about him. Very informative and great Christmas present.

although i bought this book elsewhere, it is very informative for those who remember that there was a standard oil in many states after its breakup in 1911. however,there are some flaws in the book's text-they used the spelling of "it's" incorrectly(example: "standard is the best in it's marketing area").

THE OUTHOUSE PAPERS is simple light-hearted fun about such diverse concerns as Corn & Insults, Gold Rushes & Festivals, Love Lore & Chickens, Civil War Slang & Cowboy Cooking Lingo, Dogs & Famous People, Hobo Jokes & Farmers, Mark Twain Wit & Mule Eggs, Fingernail Lore & Fiddling Around, Inventions & Hunting Tales, General Stores & Headstone Humor, & much, much more!

A bit of earthy frivolity for when we're about our serious business. Every throne room should have a copy - even those in our libraries!
