The book will be most appreciated by those searching for a true grace-oriented scholar who glorifies the Lord, not himself, in his writings. Words cannot describe how inspirational this work is. Unger's pedigree is outstanding, his scholarship supreme and his style easy-going and understandable. When reading his Commentary, one can imagine taking feverish notes at his class lectures at Dallas Theological Seminary. What a rare honor and treat that would have been! This book is the Magnum Opus of the greatest Old Testament Scholar of our time.

This is an incredible book that examines the basic ideas in each book of the bible; looks at it in historical context; in symbolic interpretive context and more. The dictionary is incredible. And includes also a concordance and maps. A must-have guide to anyone studying the Bible. Full of insight too.

I loved this book. It's written in that Young Adult style that defines early twentieth century fiction. Today we call it "Disney" style. In fact, it would make a great Disney Movie. A young man feels that to win back his father's respect, he must recover a priceless pearl that is hidden in the handle of one of the first six-shooters. He almost dies along the way, and is later hailed by the Cheyenne as having mystical powers. The struggle to recover the lost pearl leads him through the hardships that eventually mature him. I only wish there was a sequel.

This is the story of Captain Voss who circumnavigated the globe in 1901. He was the first to circumnavigate in a canoe as well as the smallest vessel at the time. The voyage took 3 years, 3 months and 12 days. It's informative, educational, exciting and loaded with humour. This is one of the finest books I've read and I guarantee you'll enjoy it.

This book is highly recomended to those of us who must struggle through veterinary microbiology. It makes the subject decipherable, and does not slip into the jargon that is so often found in science textbooks. The book begins with intrductory "How viruses work" material, before moving onto the various virus groups. Each section of the book starts out with a general introduction on how that group works/attacks, wheteher they need intermediate hosts, lifespan in the outside environment, etc. Then, it delves further into each virus within that family (genus/class?) with sections on pahtology, epidemiology, etc. All in all, a very nice reference book for veterinary students. There is not much info on West Nile, but there is a nice section on Foot and Mouth. Generally, those viruses which are important in the West, plus a few that are important for other reasons arecovered. Other viruses are mentioned. There is also a small section in the back on prion diseases, which may not be important currently, but will be important to know about, even in te USA (Scrapie, Chronic Wasting Disease, just to name a few.) I highly recomend this book.

As a Medical School lecturer, running a virology course, I found this book to exactly what I had been waiting for. It is more fleshed-out and more virus-centred than the otherwise excellent introductions to infection and immunity by Mims and by Mitchinson but isn't as dry and encyclopedic as Fields (or Nathanson's big "Viral Pathogenesis"). It deals in a well-organized, clear and accessible way with the current scientific understanding of the interactions between virus and host at the molecular, cellular, systems and population levels, and provides sufficient clinical examples to be appealing to medical students and biologists alike. Clinical students will need, in addition, to have access to a more systematic text. My only gripe is that, as a duo-tone softback at a little over 200pp., the publishers have priced it too high for the mass market it deserves.

I really liked this book. Rather than being your standard coffee table oversized hardcover (which is a lot of what you find these days about architecture) this book presents a serious and fascinating discussion about architecture and the modern world. Their new approach, looking at three clients, puts the architects in a new light, offering greater depth and understanding of what it takes to build a modern monument. Anyone with a more than cursory interest in architecture would certainly enjoy and learn from this book.

I've heard Frederick Douglass' name for years, all throughout history classes, but never had a really good idea of what he contributed to history. Ms. Weidt has done an excellent job of weaving pertinent facts about this hero's life into an intriguing narrative. Interesting for both children and adults, this book does much to evoke the strong-minded, highly-principled person who inspired so many others to follow his example. I highly recommend this book.

A book of great use to any individual interested in music, be it academic or recreational. Written with exciting clarity, humor and insight these 11 little known composers find immortality under Jensen's skillful intellect. The revealed influence these, until now, unsung composers of the 19th century had on more successful contemporaries (Chopin et al) allow an unusual light to illuminate the over-analyzed "greats" of the age. This book should be housed in everyone's collection!

Way's is an almost staggering achievement. Mr. Way (now deceased) spent approx. 80 years of his life collecting this information. There isn't any other source that comes close to Way's if you need to know about steamboats on the Western Waters (Pittsburgh westwards).
