This book is excellent. If you like to know about the history of the United States and the people who shaped it. You should read this book. It really opens your eyes to what happened in WWII. "If we don't learn from our past we are doomed to repeat it."

While Brock's prose can be a bit stuffy by contemporary standards, this is still a seminal work in the field of architectural history and well worth review and ownership. The photographs by Francis Benjamin Johnston are hauntingly beautiful and are the standard by which architecture photographs are still judged today. Published in a limited edition by the Dale Press in Richmond VA 1930.

This book is a very limited edition and quite popular therefore it is very difficult to find. I must confess to finding it at an British publisher. If anyone is interested in how a golf course architect thinks and what they actually do, then this is a must book for you. It contains many of the letters between Colt, Allison, and Morrison that discuss many of the aspects of golf course architecture. This book also contains a great biography of H. S. Colt as well.

Certainly photography is a matter of composiotion and light and having your head in the right place at the right moment. But in the end what is photography really about? What are these photos really about? Pain, poverty, community, despair, abuse, childhood, church, worship, hysteria, joy, silence, praise, noise, solemnity, life and death. Faith. Faith as a matter of life and death. Yes, I suppose that's it.

Henry Augustus Rowland (1848-1901) was one of the seminal figures in the founding of modern physics in the United States. A principal founder and first president of the American Physical Society, Rowland is best known for his invention of the concave spectral grating for which he won a gold medal and grand prize at the 1890 Paris Exposition. Rowland was also a professor of physics at Johns Hopkins University and an influential mentor for a generation of professional American physicists. Drawing upon Rowland's personal papers, as well as those of his colleagues and students, George Sweetnam has written the first scholarly exposition of Rowland's life and work. The Command Of Light: Rowland's School Of Physics And The Spectrum is an impressive, seminal, and invaluable contribution to the history of modern physics.

This commentary on the Apocalypse of John is amazing. Swete wields a knowledge of the Koine Greek in a manner rarely seen in modern academia. He does take an Amillinial approach, but biblical scholars from all hermeneutical backgrounds will find this book an invaluable primary resource in their research of this perplexing chapter in the Bible.

The Bible speaks clearly that as the timeline progresses & the time of The Lord's return nears, the world will move farther away from God, attenuating everything pertaining to Godliness. Few Bible teachers, Theologians or Seminaries remain today that deal with the core of what is GOD. One must back up to a time not polluted by commercialism to get to the uncompromising truth of the Bible. Matthew Henry's Commentary cuts through to shine this light, a light so dim in the world today. For the serious Bible student. Warning, it may change your life (metamorphosed)!

I've graduated from Bible college and Seminary. I've read the Bible for 24 years. I have never read anything that amazes and even thrills me as much as the insights of Matthew Henry!

Deftly compiled and edited for contemporary readers by Henry C. Clark, Commerce, Culture, & Liberty: Readings On Capitalism Before Adam Smith is an amalgamation of significant writings published before Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations" (1776) impacted the world's perceptions on economics. A wide variety of authors ranging from Voltaire, to Ferdinando Galiani, to Jean-Jacques Rousseau, contribute to this absorbing source of pre-Adam Smith perceptions and judgements about economic matters prior to the birth of the American nation as a capitalist beacon to the nations of the world.

Leifermann is an excellent writer, and his commentary is insightful. This is not your typical Chamber of Commerce, tourist brochure type of guidebook. The book is comprehensive and attractive, chock full of useful information. It contains excellent photography and tell-it-like-it-is descriptions. It has the accurate maps that are a necessity to any adequate guidebook. If you buy only one resource on South Carolina, this book should be it.
