I have used the receipe for Peach Eggnog for years. It is a hit every time. Great receipes like Chocolate Eggnog, teapot cookies, basil-garlic snack wafers and many, many more. Not only great recipes but great craft ideas to serve your goodies in. Highly recommended.

Best translation of this work. Useful notes and essays. Highest recommendation.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Date with the Devil. I especially liked the tension leading up the climax. The characters are colorful, and the main female characters are real survivors--they have spunk. It's a love story set in a plot of horror. I read Called from Darkness first, and this is the sequel.

Adds substantially to the ethnography of Melanesian mortuary ritual. . . . The cumulative result is a forceful demonstration of how mortuary ritual can organize and channel the flow of Melanesian social life.

Hardin is to theoretical and strategic labor relations as Elkouri is to contract administration. It is the place my staff is instructed to start on any collective bargaining issue. Also as with Elkouri, it tries so hard to be balanced that neither management nor union regotiators may be able to find the hard edges they might be looking for. Its utility in the public sector depends on how similar the state or local bargaining law is to the National Labor Relations Act. If the bargaining duty language is similar to the NLRA, the public sector practitioner will find Hardin useful.

This book is a window into 16th century English life and a biography of someone a little different than the people we can normally read about from this period. Although scholarly, the Devon Gentleman is very readable. This book is definitely worth your time!

This book is much less conventional than the other established texts for freshman or sophomore discrete math/computer science courses. It places more emphasis on math problem solving, and contains a wonderful selection of interesting and challenging problems based on puzzles and games.

My impression of reading through the book is the focus is more on establishing a solid foundation on mathematical reasoning; using discrete math puzzles and games as examples in achieving the goal. It also contains much less of boring computational/ algorithmic worked examples than regular texts. This makes the book immensely more useful for math enthusiats and high-school math competition contestants, in addition to its regular use in courses for math majors in universities. Computer science majors with a focus on algorithm and programming may feel the book has too much of a math-centric problem solving focus, and probably should look elsewhere.

Overall, a fascinating read; highly recommended.

This was a great book. I am one of the lucky ones and I have a rare hard-back copy of it. It starts out in Kristins dream when she is walking up to Freddy's house. If you can find a copy of this rare book don't hesitate to buy it. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

This is an amazing book, and greatly needed. It is the continuous history of Christianity in Palestine from the year 33 to now, detailing the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian Christians by the Israelis. Wagner writes without hate and without fear. This is not an attempt to bash Jews in any way. It is an attempt to bring to light a forgotten history. How we as Christians have been present there since the very beginning, in a continuous witness, until the present day. How Palestine was about 20% Christian, until al Nakba- the Catastrophe, when the Zionists invaded the land and took the land from the people of Palestine. And now, it is about 2% Christian- mostly because of flight to Western lands, since the Christians tended to be better educated and wealthier and able to leave when things got too hard.

And Wagner shows who it was who made it hard, and how purposely this plan was put in place. It is gut-wrenching to read accounts of people who saved Jews from the Nazis, as they watch the ethnic cleansing of a town. The Zionists go from house to house, shooting the victims. And the man who protected Jews, who watches this, reflects that it seemed just like what he had witnessed under the Nazi regime.

Thankfully, such genocide was localized. Unlike with the Nazis, on the whole, the ethnic cleansing was done without murder and mass destruction of a people. It was done surreptitiously, through disinformation, through enforced poverty, and generally making it hard to live there.

We've perhaps heard this before. What Wagner does is remind us that it was also happening to Christians- that this was an area with a large Christian minority at one point. He writes simply the story of Christianity in the land of it's birth, and it has its end with these last 50 years, as native Christians have endured persecution from the Israeli government as well as from Palestinian Muslims around them.

Wagner is to be applauded for writing a book about a neglected history, and doing it without resorting to hate speech to denigrate the Jewish people. He points out the problems with the government, and as he says, in order to truly be a brother to someone, you have to point out how they need to change, and become more just. This is the true sign of love and brotherhood. Wagner's evidence is overwhelming, and his writing compelling. This book should challenge and enlighten you into new ways of seeing and believing.
