This brilliant collection of essays by Eugene D. Genovese and Elizabeth Fox-Genovese covers numerous aspects of the spread of merchant capitalism in the colonial period of American history. They see the American experiment as begun in dread of modernity and as part and parcel of the most extreme early capitalist reactionary movements in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Far from intending to provide the cutting edge of historical development, many of the early colonists were trying to recreate a reactionary paradise before the Fall they saw occurring in European society.

The planet EARTH houses well over 600billion people... and in the land on which they are housed under cloak of gases we call ATMOSPHERE are natural potentials for disaster. The same elements that form disaster are often the elements that provide us our sustenance. REMOTE SENSING and AERIAL INTERPRETATION allows us to plan HOW we use these landforms and elements WISELY.

The book provided by Avery and Berlin is a must have for any land developer or engineer who intends to maintain equilibrium with nature in his design. The book provides first hand knowledge of basic instruments and technology used in locating sources of precious commodities and for streamlining expense of damage/progress survey used in Agricultural and Energy careers. Acquisistion of the skill offered by this text enables VISION beyond the facade. It was one of many required texts in my own field of study.

The biblical term "stewardship" has been used so often to mean "fund-raising" that in my church we've had to stop using it in order to focus attention back onto its message that "The earth is the Lord's and everything in it," while "He has given us dominion over all the works of his hands." So it was with absolute glee that I discovered this unique book on true Christian stewardship. Eugene Grimm asserts, "Fund-raising is a financial matter. Stewardship is primarily a spiritual matter. Fund-raising is concerned with raising money for the budget. Stewardship relates to how we live out our commitment to Jesus Christ.... Stewardship is more than financial giving.... Stewardship is what we do after we say we believe." This book gives detailed, practical counsel on how to go about supporting the Lord's work in a local congregation, and it refreshingly insists that "When we look at principles for vital stewardship, we are looking at principles that can help people grow spiritually." Randy Alcorn writes more profoundly on the biblical principles underlying stewardship, and Larry Burkett provides more detailed advice for submitting our personal finances to the lordship of Christ. But after spending twelve years reviewing all kinds of literature on the topic of stewardship education, I know of no book that I can recommend more highly for pastors and church leaders who want to conduct an ongoing "stewardship campaign" that is intended not to raise money but to raise Christians.

This is the only book I have ever seen over the Solitario. This collapsed dome has represntitive strata from most of the geologically significant areas of Texas. This book is a treasure trove of information and comes with very informative full sized maps of the solitario.

In this excellent book, Nina Glick Schiller and Georges Eugene Fouron tackle the question of national identity, transmigration, and the effect that this has had on Haitians. The authors chose to write the text as a dialogue between two separate and distinct voices: the first is a voice of the social scientist, attempting a theoretical understanding of social and political aspects of transmigration; the second voice is the personal, intimate one, encompassing the thoughts and emotions of Haitians. The theoretical points made are underscored by real-life narratives, which add depth to the scholarship. I believe this approach is a successful way of creating a "dialogue" between the authors and the subjects (especially in cases such as this, where Georges fits into both categories).

I especially appreciated Schiller's diasporic perspective as a Jew. Her insights to the experiences and differences between Jewish Diaspora and African-Caribbean Diaspora are illuminating.

As a collector of local ghost books, I picked this up on a trip up the California coast. Senate is really the most entertaining author in the genre, rivalled only by Hans Holzer. In contrast to other regional ghost tale collectors, Senate presents his tales in the first person, as he and his colleagues investigated them. This is in contrast to the typical method of simply presenting the direct accounts of regular folks who've had paranormal experiences. It makes the book much more engrossing and at times quite creepy. The volume is slim and so are the accounts, but especially if you are drawn to fictional ghost stories, this book will definitely satisfy.

I absolutely would recommend you buy this book. 10 Day competancy review was the best review of Global I've ever read. If you are in the middle of the year and just want to study early its a great book for you, however if its the day before and your ready for a allnight cram its just as good. If you want to ace the Regence I'd deffinately reccomend this book to you.

A very readable layman's introduction to the "secrets" of how modern Bibles are translated. Chapter 10: Science Comes to the Aid of Bible Translators diagrams how meaning is identified in the Hebrew or Greek and reproduced into English according to the "criterion of closest natural equivalence ... the touchstone of faithful translation--the guarantee of both accuracy and acceptability" (p. 109).

This "closest natural equivalence," which is more widely denoted by the term "dynamic equivalence," itself has been kidnapped by some Bible publishers for their own work--notably the God's Word version. They use the term to mean something between dynamic equivalence and formal ("literal") equivalence. But if you've read this book, you'd know who said it first!

I bought my 'first' copy of this book in (about) 1982, at the Greek Festival in downtown Salt Lake City. As a 'not so hot' cook at the time, and since I enjoyed going over to a Greek, friends mother's house on Sundays, I made many things out of it, by just going 'word for word'. Sad to say, the book, among most everything in my house was stolen. In 2001, another friend of mine, still living in Salt Lake, sent me another copy, which, got 'lost'. This lovely woman, Ellen V. Furgis, having heard of my 'plight', sent me a WONDERFULLY INSCRIBED + SIGNED COPY of it personally. Ellen Furgis, not only puts 'heart + love' into her recipies, but actually puts it into 'life' in general. After all, if a 'little Irish/Jewish girl can make these turn out wonderfully, anyone can. I cannot recommend this book or her, highly enough.

A lovely and nuanced translation of a wonderful allegory, with vivid characters and lively detail. Chaucer fans will enjoy.
