I find this book interesting and easily comprehensible by individuals who are interested in Systems Science.

It looks into all aspects of Systems Science, such as Law of Requisite Variety, Systems Concept, Variety Management & etc.

I would highly reccommend this book for beginners and soon these individuals would love Systems Science.

Solid collection of essays in honor of Carl F. Henry. They address the church of Christ in its cultural setting, with facets on law, literature, art, history, media, science, environment, bioethics, etc.

Scholars such as D.A. Carson, Geoffrey Bromiley, Edmund Clowney, etc., all contribute well in an academia minded way.

Of particular interest and enlightenment was the very well done essays by Spitz on "The Historian and the Ancient of Days" as well as "Phillp Johnson's "Modernist Impasse in Law."

Some revolve around classic Niebuhr's grid while others burn new cultural analysis paths.

Good read and reference.

carson really spent his time well on this one. the witness accounts were riviting; as well as the photos and various illustrations. This book is a must read for anyone intrested in sizmec events.

Terrific book that focuses on the defensive game. Suggestions on read and react, pictures of various checks and positioning away from the play. Language and explanations are easy to follow and understand. Highly recommended!

This is a cool book that looks like it might have been used in home-ec classes during the '50s & '60s. It's very retro, but at the same time interesting - it tells how to sew your own clothes and even has tips for proper hygeine - like how to correctly brush your teeth! it's definently light reading, but more importently, it's fun!

There is no Irish for "No". The title of this volume immediately launches us into a realm of confusing and unreliable language. Carson uses language like a toy, the kind of toy you want to take apart to see how it works. He is forever stretching and making holes in language, highlighting its inadequacy to communicate. This is a familiar trope of "postmodernity". But for Carson this playfulness is bound to his subject, that is the city of Belfast. Just as language is a system which does not quite make sense, where symbols only have an arbitrary relationship with what they symbolise, so is the city. In undermining the authority of language, Carson simultaneously undermines the symbols which have had such an elevated position in the sectarian divisions of the city. The colour green and the colour orange, a person's name or a particular flag are shown to have only superficial importance. This is a clever volume (sometimes irritatingly so) on a very important subject. Carson refuses to sink to an emotive level, an achievement which should be given due credit in an environment where passions are running extremely high.

While this is catalogued as a children's book, I have found music lovers of all ages to be enthusiastic about its content and approach! In fact, no one enjoyed my son's Christmas present (this book) more than my father-in-law! The illustrations of piano history, parts of the instrument, and composers are interesting and add depth to the clear and concise text. There is an accompanying CD, a compilation of EMI recordings, which features a sample of compositions that is both instructional (with the text) and enjoyable (without the text). From cover to cover - endpapers are copies of Beethoven scores-- this book is thoughtful, well-researched and worth finding.

Mortgaged Heart is yet another example of Carson McCullers theme of spiritual isolation. You can feel the pain of each character. If you like McCullers as much as I do this is a great one.

Multiple Voices is a great complilation of developmental feminist film theory. Interesting and diverse essays are included: Christine Gledhill (one of my personal favorites), B. Ruby Rich, bell hooks, Teresa de Lauretis, Linda Williams and more. The anthology is broken into three parts: "perspectives", which gives a brief histoical and general overview of American feminist film criticism; "practice", which is a series of essays that apply the theory to various films/film genres; and finally, "course files" which are course outline suggestions for teaching theory to students.

This is a great book for someone well-versed in feminist theory. However, there are a few drawbacks to it which makes it a little less accessible to a novice. Namely, Laura Mulvey's theory is talked about in many of the essays, but her historic essay, "Visual Pleasure and the Narrative Cinema," is not included. Also missing from this collection is a good representation of French feminist theory.

A deliberately epthnic mystery with interesting twists in the plot. Carlito Rivera is a lawyer we all wish we believed in, with a ladyfriend of strength, Maria Fuentes, we hope we already have. It is her daughter's boyfriend who needs help proving he is not a murdered. Believe it or not, there is a Jewish cop, Woody Fertig, who is a key player in the solution. I would have liked more from this author so I could have seen the development of their characters and relationships.
