Campbell Books

Once again Charvella Campbell has done a great job in capturing the human experience. Reading this book I am reminded of those very few special poeple who have impacted my life. It rare that we meet people with whom we connect and even more rare that we realize this. I'm Still Dancing is the realization that to be happy is no sin and to always seek those that were able to help make that dream relationship come true.

Hopefully Charvella's book will bring me back in contact with one truely marvelous person whose presence had to have been from God, despite the circumstances. After all, we only live once! Here is to living on past rememberances of long walks, talks, and intimacies as the sun went down, with a person I hope to meet again......

I found this book interesting because it offers an opportunity for looking at one's self at the same time it provides inspirational stories. It's a different approach to exploring one's personal identity. The author gives exercises that help in analyzing our lives and suggestions for moving forward.

Ian Fleming: a catalogue of a collection is an Excellent Book, the one and only Bibliography produced to date. Its 71 pages are filled with information not readilly avaliable anywhere else, such as details of periodicals and reference material. Iain Campbell's collection yeilds many one-and-only items, such as letters to people who had dealings with Ian Fleming and his reaserch, special proof and advance readers copies (that are not believed to exist any more), and details of the Fleming First editions. The book is in wrappers (not a hardback-there was no hardback) with a clear plastic dust-jacket. It was privately printed by Commersgate in Oxford in 1978, (in an edition of about 1000, I will presume). It is difficult to say how many items are listed, but there can be up to and above 20 per page. The sections on the novels are divided into: First Edition, Proof Copies, Source Material, Antologies, Book Reviews, Book Club editions,Paperbacks(U.K), Foriegn editions, Film Brochures and related, and finnaly film Reviews. Other sections relate to the books and periodicals related to James Bond and Ian Fleming, (biographies, reference, critisicm, review). As you will suspect, much more thoughrer than you would expect of a 'Preliminary to a bibliography'. ...
Overall, the Campbell reference work on Fleming is an invaluable reference to any Fleming Collector. I have refered to it hundreds of times since i purchased it, as, I'm sure, you will!

Buckley's work on the agonizingly long and complex courtship of a distinguished Presbyterian minister (and later Confederate officer) and the divorced daughter of a Governor of Virginia is extraordinary.

The number of letters contained in this volume, PAINSTAKINGLY transcribed from handwriting that is (at least 50%) illegible, is astounding. The story told is compelling for even a cynical 21st century observer of love and life . . . and a rare chronicle of the political and personal impact of 19th-century Presbyterian varying "insights" into the mind, will, and intent of an sometimes angry and always fearsome God.

The notes and bibliography are priceless. They alone make the book a must-have resource for anyone interested in the 19th century history of southern Presbyterian protestantism, women's rights, religious bigotry, Rockbridge County, Lexington and most of the rest of Virginia. . . . . not to mention the geneaologies of perhaps half the population of the entire valley of Virginia.

Detailed, execellent, and pound for pound . . . no better value.

A credit to an editor's labor of love . . . and to the University of Nebraska Press for publishing it.

This book provides a great refference book on all kinds of riggings for Salmon Steelhead and trout.

What a refreshing and practical read. This book will help all who love the church and want to make it all it can be. The reflection and study questions at the end of each chapter make this book a very useable tool, and MacDonald's practical application of Johnson's theology and theory is clear, funny, touching, and on the mark. I've recommended it again and again to friends and colleagues.

Expertly compiled and knowledgeably edited by anthropologist John Martin Campbell In A Hungry Country: Essays By Simon Paneak, showcases the extraordinary expertise and life experiences of Simon Paneak (1900-1975), a Nunamiut hunter who was a uniquely valuable source of information on inland Eskimo history and cultural heritage. Provided with paper and pens by Jack Campbell, Peneak drew a series of pictures documenting Nunamiut life from 1969 until 1971. He also recorded his own earliest memories of life in the Brooks Range before the disastrous dispersal of his people to the coastal area in the early 1900s. Of special note is Paneak's retelling of a Nunamiut legend of flying whales, along with grim stories of warfare ad hunger. Illustrated with color photography, black-and-white illustrations, maps, bibliography, and an index, In A Hungry Country (also available in a hardcover edition - 1889963593, $59.95) is a treasury of anthropological and historical information, and a welcome contribution to academic Native American Studies collections and supplemental reading lists.

G. Campbell Morgan's love for the Lord, heart for the people, realistic view of the world, and understanding of God's presence even in times of suffering is made clear in this book. His grandsons have done an amazing job in capturing his story. It's a must read for clergy and laymen alike.

The book opened my mind to new ways of considering the laws under which God governs. While the book is only an introduction to the many other books written with considerably more detail, it gives wonderful insight to the possibillities many have considered throughout time. Reading this book was an incredible beginning to a new level of "being" in this human experience.

This is a beatifully written book about a young colonial girl who loves the wild ponies that have roamed the islands of North Carolina's Outer Banks since the 1500's.

Our views of Colonial history often comes from the urban tales - from people who lived in Boston or Philadelphia or New York, but the colonies up and down the Atlantic coast were settled sparsely with resourceful families who played important roles in helping to secure American independence.

This colorful story gives us a realistic glimpse of life in North Carolina, based on the legend of Betsy Dowdy who may have been the key to warning colonial patriots of enemy plans.

Smith has written a historically detailed account that provides an exciting and enjoyable read. This is the kind of book that brings history alive, and gives a different perspective on the times when colonial life turned Revolutionary.
