Bernard Books

Excellent book to spark students' interest on dinosaurs and their particular facts.

Kenneth Melchin's book is an excellent introduction to Ethics and to the method elaborated by Bernard Lonergan. For those who are interested in an "inside-out" approach to ethics, starting with one's self, this is the book to buy.
You will gain insights into not only your own moral foundations, but will also understand the patterns and habits that make up our social realm.
Original, readable, thought provoking, what more could one ask for!

This guidebook was crucial to my few days in Brussels. I used this compact and user-friendly book to plan my trip. I found all the information accurate and interesting. All the highlights, and some quirky sights, were covered. Most importantly, its portable size and built-in maps made finding my way around so easy. However, as a disclaimer, it is the Best of Brussels. If you are looking for an in-depth book, this one isn't for you.

Dr. Rende is my theology teacher in high school and i think he is a very good teacher. He has a lot of knowledge and always has answers to our questions. He is very educated especially in theology so i am sure this book is very good and if filled with a lot of good information. So everyone should buy this book and you will learn a lot.

Reminisce with Caribbean Radio, Georgetown street characters, the cinema, dance halls, rum shops, jumbies, the pork-knocker, Christmas, folk songs, cricket, superstition, and much more. These nostalgic articles are precious momentoes that give enjoyment and insight, the more often you read them. Heydorn's research is rich in detail and has significant historical and educational value. It is based on the creole proverb that "nah everything scholar know, he learn from teacher". - Geoffrey Da Silva, Consul General, Republic of Guyana. Bernard's reminiscence of our heritage embody many fond memories with humour and charm, in a warm and fundamental way - Barbara Ferreira, Guyanese/Canadian. Bernard Heydorn's vivid, rich recollections have been a hit with our readers - Sharief Khan, Editor, Guyana Chronicle

I am just an ordinary reader which can tell you what he likes, what he dislikes, and usually can't explain why. So I found it difficult to express my feelings regarding this beautiful book. But it touched me on some special way so I decided to motivate the others to read it and to feel it. It is an ecological novel which shows us the life of sea pulps through the eyes of Danny, a little sea pulp. Their life becomes the life of victims because of human destructive influence. After the reading of the book, everyone becomes aware of this problem, and some of us became motivated to do something to help those beings to survive. I hope that it is not necessary to wait too long to live with all the animals in peace as it supposed to be. Also I hope that it won't be necessary to wait too long for another book of this extraordinary author. Read it and enjoy it.

I've listened to all of Bernard Cornwell's Saxon series in audiobook format (and read them in hardcover, too) and this is the best of them all. Richard Armitage's reading is vastly superior to the other narrators (Tom Sellwood, Jamie Glover, and Gerard Doyle). Mr. Armitage is a master storyteller. His narration does not sound like the book is being read (as it sometimes does in the other versions) -- it's being performed -- no, it's lived. The pacing is impressive -- calm and contemplative when required, intense and passionate for the action sequences. He adds just the right level of humor (sometimes wry but without too much sarcasm) which is sorely lacking in the other audiobooks.

Mr. Armitage's range of voices and accents is astonishing. He's lucky to have such flexible vocal chords to be able to go high enough yet gentle for the women and children and never sounds false or forced. Hild, Gisela and Thyra are particularly wonderful, exuding patience, passion and rage. I lost count of the number of male voices he created but the range is stunning -- some very bass, some very tenor -- age, class and region all incorporated so smoothly that at times I forgot that one person was creating them all. Every voice, even the least incidental ones, has a distinct character.

It's a shame that Amazon doesn't sell this version but you can get it through audiobookcollection{.com}. This company is in the UK but they do ship overseas. I truly hope that Mr. Armitage will be available to record an unabridged version of Sword Song, the next book in the series.

This is a favorite from my own childhood and has now become the same for my own children. The very curious fish, Lorezo, explores the ocean with his large family, and one day his curiousity causes him to fall behind. He must learn how to fend for himself as he searchs the sea for his family. The illustations are drawn in a way that encourages the child to find Lorenzo within the pages where he is hidden among his fellow fish, the other fish, and his environs. Your children will enjoy being read this one again and again!

8000 años de historia en 255 paginas no es muy creíble pero el autor lo ha logrado de una manera muy condensada dándole importancia a los hechos mas conocidos de este pueblo tan admirado por su Historia Antigua como por su importancia después de los atentados del 11 de sept.

Se aborda los inicios de Egipto con la ayuda de varios mapas los cuales son muy útiles para seguir la narrativa del autor, desde sus orígenes la importancia del Nilo para Egipto a sido primordial, un país que esta abierto a cuadro mundos; por el sur, a África Nilotica; por el norte, al espacio mediterráneo; por el este, a Oriente Próximo y al mar Rojo, y por el oeste, a las inmensidades saharianas.

He disfrutado mucho la lectura de este libro pero creo que autor debió de abordar con mas profundidad algunos periodos como el siglo XIX(es el capitulo VIII de 1801 a 1914) la Conquista Francesa de 1798 se le da un capitulo, el incidente entre Francia y Inglaterra por Fashoda esta muy bien abordado ya que gracias a este pequeño problema entre dos Naciones Imperialistas se le dio mano libre a los Ingleses sobre Egipto y Francia renuncio a sus pretensiones Históricas a cambio de Marruecos y el apoyo contra Alemania, si esta tratara de protestar por la conquista del Norte de África.

No puedo olvidar mencionar el buen trabajo que hizo con los capítulos dedicados al Periodo Mameluco el cual es muy difícil conseguir información en Español al respecto además de la conquista Árabe(se incluye una pequeña genealogía de la Familia del Profeta Muhammad)

También debió de abordar con un poco mas de profundidad la Rebelión del Mahdi o mejor conocida como la Rebelión de los Dervishes para los Británicos, el autor describe de una manera muy interesante el Egipto moderno, de la caída del Imperio Otomano hasta 1999, pasando por las guerras Árabe-Israelí y de manera rápida la Crisis del Canal de Suez.

Este libro te ayudara a conocer mejor a Egipto y su pueblo pero 8000 años de historia en un solo tomo es mi parecer muy difícil pero si queremos adentrarnos en Egipto de una manera rápida y sintetizado este es el libro que tal ves te pueda ayudar. Muy Recomendado.
