Reconsiderations
The Afrikaners: Biography of a People (Reconsiderations in Southern African History)
Hermann Giliomee
University Press of Virginia
, 2003
The best book on South African history
This fascinating book is subtitled, "Biography of a People," and it certainly lives up to it. The book follows the history of the Boers of South Africa, from their arrival in the seventeenth century, through to the final collapse of apartheid and beyond (the book ...
The Survivors of Israel: A Reconsideration of the Theology of Pre-Christian Judaism
Mark Adam Elliott
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company
, 2000
Great Resource for 1st Century Judaism
The theory, loudly proclaimed by E.P. Sanders, never sat well with me. He argued that all Judaisms in the first century shared a common core and that all Israel would have a place in the world to come. Well, this is the rabbinic view from much later. But, as Mark Adam ...

The United States and the End of the Cold War: Implications, Reconsiderations, Provocations
John Lewis Gaddis
Oxford University Press, USA
, 1994
The Cold War ended with an exhilarating wave of events: the toppling of the Berlin Wall, the rise of the dissident poet Vaclav Havel, the revolution in Romania. Americans rejoiced at the dramatic conclusion of the long struggle. "But victories in wars--hot or cold--tend to unfocus the mind," writes John Gaddis. "It can be a dangerous thing to ...

Mark Roseman
Picador

Excellent Monograph
This is a readable, thoughtful monograph on the origins and historical significance of the Wannsee conference, the notorious January 1942 meeting where Nazi officials finalized plans to exterminate European Jewry. Noting that the decision on genocide was probably ...
Electric Motors and Control Techniques
Irving M. Gottlieb
McGraw-Hill/TAB Electronics
, 1994
RichardNabuda@Email.MSN.com
Overall I found this to be an excellent book. I enjoyed every page, and in particular tracing out circuit operations of the various schematics. I thought the diversity of circuits was great. Nowhere in the title did I see "Basics of" or Fundementals of". This is not a ...
Divine Truth or Human Tradition?: A Reconsideration of the Roman Catholic-Protestant Doctrine of the Trinity ...

AuthorHouse

Fantastic and thorough exploration of the Trinity!
Having researched this doctrine and read dozens of books, I have to tout Navas' book with a whole heart. This book shows years of intense research, coupled with a love for truth and a humble heart. Navas presents the arguments of Trinitarian apologists, many who ...

State University of New York Press

Public Editor #1: The Collected Columns (with Reflections, Reconsiderations, and Even a Few Retractions) of ...
Daniel Okrent
PublicAffairs
, 2008
Observing the Times, from a distance
Okrent was the first, and still - 3 editors in - probably the best of the Public Editors; it fell to him to define the role, and he basically used his biweekly column to take on simmering controversies, challenge preexisting notions at The Times, and occasionally dip ...
Quite Contrary: A Biblical Reconsideration of the Apparitions of Mary, 3rd ed.
Timothy F. Kauffman
White Horse Publications
, 1998
And the dominoes fell!
I was a devout Catholic and follower of Marian apparitions, when I saw an ad for this book in 1996. It was with fear and trepidation that I ordered it. However, it turned out to be a life changing event and led me to see the errors of the Catholic Church especially ...

Art and Revolution: The Life and Death of Thami Mnyele, South African Artist (Reconsiderations in Southern ...

Thami Mnyele's life spanned the era of apartheid. He was born the same year the National Party won office and came of age in a time (the 1960s) and a place (Johannesburg) that offered a sensitive young black artist little encouragement. In 1985, in the waning days of apartheid, he was killed by ...
