John Ford

Jazz-Rock Solos for Guitar: Lead Guitar in the Styles of Carlton, Ford, Metheny, Scofield, Stern and more! ...

Norman Brown, Steve Freeman, ...

Hal Leonard Corporation, 2002

Great book and CD
Having been through several jazz instruction books, this is by far the best. It runs its solo lines over complex chords- the kind you hear the better players actually playing over. It explains the concept behind the lines before giving them. This way, not only will ...

Periodic Table (Quickstudy Reference Guides - Academic)

Barcharts Inc, 2002

A rich, durable, and handy reference of the Periodic Table and the properties of the elements
This is a terrific version of the periodic table for the serious science student. It has the atomic number, atomic weight, electronegativity, atomic radii and ionic radii, elctron affinity, and 1st ionization potential. It even defines what these terms mean, but if ...

A Time for Reflection: An Autobiography

William E. Simon, Gerald Ford, ...

Regnery Publishing, Inc., 2004

A Noble, Extraordinary Life
William Simon's is an extraordinary lifestory, and reading his memoir, published posthumously this year following his death in 2000, was thoroughly enjoyable. Simon's life had so many incarnations -- prescient Wall Street trader, principled public servant (energy czar ...

Calvin: Institutes of the Christian Religion (Library of Christian Classics)
John Calvin

Westminster John Knox Press, 2008

'Tis Pity She's a Whore and Other Plays: The Lover's Melancholy; The Broken Heart; 'Tis Pity She's a Whore; ...

John Ford

Oxford University Press, USA, 2008

Great books
All of these in the Oxford English Drama series are well worth the money. Thank heavens (and Oxford) that they are in print at this price. I am collecting them all. I've got a shelf of them now. Jane Smiley, writing on something else, said one doesn't need ...

Discworld (HC) (Discworld)

John Ford

Steve Jackson Games, 2002

Excellent and Self-Contained (mostly) FRPG rule-set.
I have the original paperback version of this book. It is an adaptation of Steve Jackson's Generic Universal Role-Playing Game System (GURPS) to Terry Pratchett's Discworld as a Role-Playing environment. A pretty good "GURPS Lite" extract of the basic GURPS rules is ...

Web of Angels

John M. Ford

Pocket, 1980

A precursor to CyberPunk - it's CyberGothik.
I am still amazed that noone else has ever given John Ford his due. This book is, as of now, the only title by him I have ever read. It is, however, one of the best SF books I've ever read (on a par with Dune), and certainly a far better construct of the wired far ...

Growing Up Weightless

John M. Ford

Spectra, 1994

Realized its power years after the last page
I read this book when I was too young to fully understand the complexity of the main character's decision about his future. When I started to go through the same sorts of choices, I found myself haunted by the book, even though I had finished it years ago. The most ...

Analysis of the Institutes of the Christian Religion of John Calvin

Ford Lewis Battles, John Walchenbach

P & R Publishing, 2001

Excellent
This book is very well done. He takes, in order, every book, section, and paragraph and explains the content of it in a concise way. The book is in outline form and can readily be used as a systematic theology--even though the institutes are not technically a ...

Geons, Black Holes, and Quantum Foam: A Life in Physics

John Archibald Wheeler, Kenneth Ford

W. W. Norton & Company, 2000

Excellent autobiography
This is really a wonderful scientific biography. Wheeler has an engaging, easy-going style that doesn't sacrifice detail and scholarly accuracy for readibility. It's almost like having a fireside chat with the great physicist about the entire history of 20th century ...
