Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules: 2002 Revision/2005 Update (Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules)

The American Library Association (ALA), The Canadian Library Association (Cla), ...

American Library Association, 2005

More is Less
As a graduate student in library school, I found this publication to be way to detailed for a course that is an introduction and overview of the process.

The Cousins' Wars: Religion, Politics, Civil Warfare, And The Triumph Of Anglo-America

Kevin Phillips

Basic Books, 2000

The best book on American history i have ever read
This is an amazing book, written, not by a formal scholar, but someone who made history himself, through his political activism for the Republican party in the late 60s. Kevin Phillips has clearly developed intellectually since then. Reading this book, and especially ...

Anglo-American Establishment

Quigley Carroll

G. S. G. & Associates, Incorporated, 1981

THIS BOOK IS THE GRANDADDY OF THEM ALL
The book gets five stars, not for holding one's interest nor its readability, but rather because it not only devolves the origins of the hidden criminal elements that were soon to control the US government, but more importantly, it devolves the tactics used to achieve ...

The Anglo Files: A Field Guide to the British

Sarah Lyall

W. W. Norton, 2008

A Fond But Caustic (And Hilarious) Look At The British
Sarah Lyall is an American journalist married to a British journalist. The Anglo Files is part memoir, part traveler's advisory, part hate mail, and part love affair. If that seems like a lot to pack into a 263 page book not including index, it would be in the hands ...

The Concise AACR2

Michael Gorman, American Library Association

American Library Association, 2004

Cataloging rules in plain language
Michael Gorman, one of the primary writers of Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, 2nd Revision, has summarized the rules in simple English so they can be used by relatively untrained personnel in small, uncomplicated catalogs. The cataloging described in Concise AACR2 is ...

A Century Of War: Anglo-American Oil Politics and the New World Order

F. William Engdahl

Pluto Press, 2004

Powerful and Convincing!!!
I was quite enmeshed in the first half of the book when Engdahl detailed how the 2 powers- the US and mostly the British sought to secure oil in the Middle East at the turn of the 20th century with the help of the House of Morgan- quite convincing. More surprising is ...

Beyond the Alamo: Forging Mexican Ethnicity in San Antonio, 1821-1861
Raul A. Ramos

The University of North Carolina Press, 2008

Introducing a new model for the transnational history of the United States, Ra?l Ramos places Mexican Americans at the center of the Texas creation story. He focuses on Mexican-Texan, or Tejano, society in a period of political transition beginning with the year of Mexican independence. From the perspective of the Tejanos of San Antonio de B©xar, ...

Anglos and Mexicans in the Making of Texas, 1836-1986

David Montejano

University of Texas Press, 1987

Don't miss
I can not tell you how many copies of this book I have given away. Why? Because if you're visiting Texas, or have just moved here, and you don't "get" it (& why would you?), or have lived here a while but have been only subjected to the official story, you MUST read ...

The Oxford Dictionary of American Usage and Style

Bryan A. Garner

Oxford University Press, USA, 2000

Sound advice, good principles, fun reading
Fowler's guide is too British. Merriam-Webster's guide is much too descriptive and seeks the low ground too often. Garner strikes just the right balance between descriptive (what most people actually say in common practice) and prescriptive (what good usage should be). ...

Avalon: A Novel

Anya Seton

Chicago Review Press, 2006

Anya Seton - an historial fiction writing legend
This is an incredibly beautifull, well-researched and eloquently written romantic novel. The characters are three-dimentional and believable and, to tell the truth, I could only read a few pages at a time.....and all I can equate it to was taking an occassional bite ...

Cold War at 30,000 Feet: The Anglo-American Fight for Aviation Supremacy

Jeffrey A. Engel

Harvard University Press, 2007

But the Market Preferred American Airliners
Overall, I found the book interesting ---- particularly the data on the British sale of Vickers Viscount airliners to the Peoples' Republic of China ---- a tad overwritten, particularly the repeated references to "the New Jerusalem." Was that phrase really in vogue in ...

Race over Empire: Racism and U.S. Imperialism, 1865-1900
Eric T. L. Love

The University of North Carolina Press, 2004

Generations of historians have maintained that in the last decade of the nineteenth century white-supremacist racial ideologies such as Anglo-Saxonism, social Darwinism, benevolent assimilation, and the concept of the "white man's burden" drove American imperialist ventures in the nonwhite world. In Race over Empire, Eric T. L. Love sontests ...

Mastery, Tyranny, and Desire: Thomas Thistlewood and His Slaves in the Anglo-Jamaican World

Trevor Burnard

The University of North Carolina Press, 2004

P. Stern
This fascinating book is scrupulously researched and very well-written. It is also, in its fine-grained portrayal of the slave-holder Thomas Thistlewood, deeply disturbing. The paradox that Burnard explores is how Thistlewood, an amateur botanist and would-be student ...

Essential Cataloguing

J. H. Bowman

Neal-Schuman Publishers, 2002

haven't read it yet, no matter how good it is or not good, it is a ripoff.
The price of this book is outrageous. The publisher, author, or whoever is responsible should be ashamed. This is a tiny thin book of less than 200 pages with lots of illustrations (not even color) and its paperback. I know textbooks are expensive but this has got to ...

The Book of Irish Families, Great & Small (Third Edition, Expanded)

Michael C. O'Laughlin

Irish Genealogical Foundation, 2002

What a Book!!!
I must borrow the words of another reviewer of this great book, this book of Irish Families is currently the best work of it's genre available!! I have found MANY of Mr. O'laughlin's books to be of such great importance with my Irish research.. but this one takes the ...
