I was very pleased with this book and I have read other books by Mr. Campbell and found them very helpful. Specifically, I took away from thios book the exact construction of the "David" class torpedo books. I fill this book helped to fill a void dealing with the construction this type of vessels.

It is in great condition only used one semester, have any questions just email me...parsons77@marshall.edu

I found this book to be perfect, especially since I'm more of a hands on person. This book takes you through several projects while teaching you the basics of the program. Since you are completing many projects, you get to see different ways you can use some of the features that Director offers.

The ESV seems to be a very accurate translation. It does not always read like contemporary English, but sometimes that's an advantage because it makes one stop and think about what one is reading. I really appreciate the way Crossway has some beautiful covers for these Bibles. I'd gotten tired of black and burgundy!

I love the little Bible and its color. The print is very small so wouldn't advise for the elderly, but is wonderful to fit in the purse or pocket. Very nice quality.

What a strange publication! The doctored version of the RSV with the Greek text in the order of the English words. I cannot see how this book can really benefit anyone other than a complete amateur. But... the grammatical information for the Greek text really is quite useful. The transliteration is handy for those too lazy to learn the Greek alphabet. Strong's numbers might be useful to some. Maybe the biggest blow is the fact that the CD-ROM is only for Windows. We Mac users are once again left in the cold.
For those seriously interested in the Greek text, I would suggest purchasing an copy of The New Greek English Interlinear NT by Brown and Comfort together with a good dictionary. If your Greek is that bad, you certainly will not need the grammatical information.
For those serious about their study, try the Nestle-Aland Greek-English New Testament - the Novum Testamentum Graece together with the real RSV and sumptuous notes.
By all means purchase this book. It will certainly impress your friends if it is placed on the coffee table.

It's always an exciting day, when the UPS or Fed Ex truck stops by my house with new books. I was especially excited when The English - Greek Reverse Interlinear New Testament showed up at my door. The first thought I had when I began to page through it was, "Where have you been all my life?" In my pursuit of biblical & theological studies over the past 12 years, I've used a number of different Greek new testaments. However, none of them were interlinear. This is mostly due to the fact that I was unable to find an interlinear Greek new testament with the right combination of features that would make it a compelling addition to my library. That being said, The English - Greek Reverse Interlinear New Testament is just the interlinear I've been looking for. Crossway has raised the bar for interlinear new testaments with this publication!

First, I'd like to talk about the binding. I think Crossway made the right choice to publish this work in hardcover. Many of the bibles available today have a soft or flexible cover. For many of the thinner and smaller bibles, I think this is definitely the way to go. However, for a work of this size, I prefer hardcover for several reasons. Hardcover books tend to hold up better on the shelf. They also tend to wear better than soft / flex cover books in the backpack or laptop bag many of us have in tow as we travel to class, church, or the library. Lastly, hardcover books tend to be easier to keep open on a desk or library table, whereas soft / flex cover books are nearly impossible to lay flat.

Next, let's move beyond the cover and binding and talk about the many important things you'll find within the pages of this new testament. If you're like me, you'll want to jump right into the biblical text and start reading. I'd encourage you to hold off for a few minutes and spend some time reading the introductory material following the table of contents. Spending a few minutes here will definitely help you to make the most of the textual features found within. The introductory material is as follows:

* Preface to the English Standard Version (explains translation methodology for the ESV)
* Explanation of Features, English Standard Version (discusses features in ESV text: section headings & footnotes)
* Preface (explanation of interlinear and reverse interlinear, brief essay by John Schwandt - Overcoming the Objections of the Dangers of Dabbling in Greek)
* Introduction (explains layout of interlinear text: ESV, Greek, transliteration, parsing codes, Strong's numbers)
* Guide to Parsing Codes (further explanation of parsing codes)

Once you finish with the introductory material, you'll be ready to jump into the biblical text. The English text is based on the ESV Text Edition: 2007. The Greek text is based on the Nestle-Aland, Novum Testamentum Graece, 27th Revised Edition. The reverse in reverse interlinear comes about by displaying the English text on top of the Greek text. Traditional interlinear new testaments tend to display the Greek text first. One of the things I appreciate about this layout is that with the English on top, I feel it allows me to effectively use this new testament for my devotional time as well as my academic study time. If it was laid out like a traditional interlinear, I think I'd be rather distracted by the Greek text above the English. The 2nd line contains the Greek text. The Greek text is ordered, so it lines up with the corresponding English word or phrase above it. This sometimes puts the Greek text out of order from how it appears in a traditional NA27 Greek new testament. Please note that there is a number to the right of each Greek word to indicate the word order for the entire verse as it appears in the NA27 Greek new testament. The third line, which follows the Greek text, is the English transliteration of the Greek word. This is very helpful for the less experienced reader who may not know how to correctly pronounce the all of the Greek words. The fourth line, which follows the transliteration, contains the parsing codes. These parsing codes allow the reader to understand the morphology of the Greek word. Trying to remember what these codes mean looks like it could be difficult. Have no fear, each two-page spread of the new testament text, has the most significant parsing codes listed at the bottom. Finally, the 5th line lists the Strong's number. This is an important feature, because it allows the reader to quickly look up that specific Greek word in an electronic lexicon. While I to do this through Logos Bible Software, I realize that many may not have access to this software. As an alternate, there are many free lexicon resources available on the internet.

Let me close by saying that I am very pleased with The English - Greek Reverse Interlinear New Testament. This is a prime example of the quality of work that is possible when three fine organizations like Crossway, The German Bible Society, & Logos Bible Software collaborate on a project. As I stated earlier, I have found this new testament useful for both my devotional time and academic study. I highly recommend this new testament for anybody wishing to expand their new testament study to include both Greek and English. My only word of caution is to 1st and 2nd year Greek students. You would be better served by having a standard Greek new testament as your primary Greek text for school work. The English - Greek Reverse Interlinear New Testament would be a great resource for double-checking your parsing and translation after you've worked over the Greek text on your own. Finally, there is one additional bonus to this new testament. Attached to the back cover of this book, you will find a CD-ROM containing an electronic copy of the English Standard Version and several other study tools. All things considered, this is a great resource for a very reasonable price. Let me end with one final thought. While I understand there would potentially be a smaller audience, I'd love to see a similar resource for the Hebrew old testament. I'll be so bold as to suggest the following title: The English - Hebrew Reverse Interlinear Old Testament.

Very light bible, very thin, pages are very nice and readable. The leather feels great and is very soft. I was worried that it would look just as ugly orange-ish as it does in the picture here, but it is more brown, so don't worry about that! It is certainly no study bible, but is great for on-the-go.

If you believe evaluation is a tool for effective leadership, this book could be a good source for reaffirmation of your belief.

This book is a breath of fresh air in Christian children's literature. The Gray's effectively engage the reader with a story that is true to it's Gospel roots through an equally important yet often less heard voice.

This book uses the powerful "Mathematica" tool, to present mathematical issues. Most of them are very interesting subjects, which include Sounds, chaos, ... The idea of discussing the subjects in dialogs, contributes a lot to the discussion. I really enjoyed the book, and it is suitable for everyone who likes mathematics, especially those who have "Mathematica".

A revised and greatly expanded 5th edition of Exploring Wells Gray Park was published in June 2004. Park visitors should buy the new edition because it has 100 more pages (now 350 pages total), 15 more hikes and trail descriptions, and 80 more photos. All the trails were re-hiked during 2003 and measured with GPS, so the information is all up-to-date.
The book is laid out with detailed road logs along each of the five access routes to Wells Gray Park. Points of interest, historical anecdotes, viewpoints, geological stops and trailheads are all described in these sections. The hiking section has detailed descriptions of 65 trails ranging from short strolls to overnight backpacks. There is also a guide to canoeing popular Murtle Lake, a kayaking guide to the Clearwater River, and recommendations for cross-country skiing.
The previous editions of this guide have sold over 21,000 copies and this revision is sure to be as popular. This book is a superb guide to anyone who wants to hike or tour British Columbia's fourth largest provincial park.

The Express Picture Dictionary for Young Learners uses the same format as the Oxford Picture Dictionary for the Content Areas: a large illustration containing vocabulary in situation context, small illustrations accompanied by words, the small illustrations all taken from the large illustration. Each chapter is a two page spread, with the small illustrations and the words wrapped around the large illustration, horseshoe shape. With the Oxford Picture Dictionary for the Content Areas, the large illustration is an entire page opposite the page for the small illustrations and the words. With the Express Picture Dictionary for Young Learners, the large illustrations are top and center. This means the book's binding goes through the middle of the large illustrations. It's a bit awkward, but it works. Most of the illustrations are action oriented. The illustrations in many visual dictionaries are loose and blurry. These illustrations are tight and clear. More verbs than the average visual dictionary. Plenty of rhymes. Several chapters have subcategories, always an effective strategy with vocabulary books. The activity book is large, colorful, inviting, and fun. Both the picture dictionary and the activity book have a vocabulary index. The vocabulary index for the picture dictionary includes the International Phonetic Alphabet pronunciation for each word.
