Barton Books

I have been using these books with this author since 2000 and think the quality of the written book is excellent but I have had problems with the binding of the book breaking when you open the book. If the manufacture could strengthen the binding I'd give it 5 stars!

This book gave a lot of insight that I needed to help me with research. It is the most informative on ancient customs and traditions and I highly recommend it.

This weighty study examines the nature and process of aristocratic society and power in the northwestern Iberian peninsula during the high middle ages. Non-clerical magnates filled multiple roles, including family protector, landlord, judge, courtier, church patron, military commander, and diplomat, and the inheritance of these duties from one generation to the next led to a growing awareness of lineage. The lower half of the peninsula was still in Moslem hands, which had a lot to do with how the noble warrior class developed, because the concept of crusade led to influence far from home and the court. Many of Barton's sources are not available in English and he includes several previously unpublished documents, as well as a very extensive bibliography, a biographical chapter on the counts of León and Castile, and a set of relevant genealogical tables.

These were all good, entertaining stories. Especially liked "Far Above Rubies" and "Family Circle". Good value.

If you are interested in African-American literature but are daunted by how little you know this is a good book to start with. It introduces the reader to different styles of writing as well as varied authors. So there should be some writers that the reader would enjoy.

This book was a good resource for studying for the ASWB exam for social workers.

It was overall a pretty good book. Not what I would call exciting, but certainly worth reading.

Help me brian! Daddy is hurting me. Help me get away from him! There is a sharp pain in my rib and i feel blood spurting from

A short but sweet tale. Makes a great bed time story that has instantly become a nightly request from my 3 and 5 year old.

This work is a seamless compilation of information from the corners of the globe detailing innovative new approaches to the alleviation of global poverty through creative efforts in the private sector. Beyond useful and insightful facts and information, this book goes on to organize and present the knowledge in a framework that serves to effectively establish the context of global poverty and therefore the efforts to alleviate it. Because of this context-building framework, as a reference material, this volume is greater than the sum of its parts.
