4 stars (The best dictionary for NT Greek) - This is the *best* NT Greek dictionary for students of the Greek New Testament. Thorough scholarship; many entries exhaustively categorize word meanings and all provide references to other ancient literature. A necessity for doing scholarly work in the New Testament, and a serious reference tool for the pastor or student. If you do any work in the NT, you *need* this lexicon. The 3rd edition revamps the earlier glosses and attempts to provide definitions for words. Also has words from the Apostolic Fathers and other early literature. However, the price is VERY STEEP. Especially for students. If you are a student on a tight budget (and don't need to purchase the latest and greatest copy of Bauer), I would recommend doing obtaining a used copy of the 1st edition, which can be found for under $30 at the time of this writing. The glosses are basically the same in 1st and 2nd edition, the only thing that is changed are that more mistakes are corrected. The 3rd edition's definitions are nice, but in general I find it is more helpful to get glosses to point me in the right direction and use a concordance/search program to get a better understanding of how a word is used in the NT. 5 stars (THE Greek lexicon for New Testament research) - For anyone serious about studying the New Testament or New Testament Greek, this is the lexicon of choice. Perhaps that which sets it apart the most is its thorough references to early Christian literature at the time. This gives us a fuller understanding of what words actually mean. Too often we are confined to other examples within the canon of Scripture itself for further light on what a word means. Here we are taken much further. The very informative "Foreword to the Revised Edition" and "Introduction to the Lexicon of the Greek New Testament" are included, and should be read for a greater understanding of how the dictionary works, the history of the lexicon and some tips on Ne...

5 stars (Better than the Oxford Blackfriars) - Of course, the Oxford Blackfriar's 60-volume edition would bankrupt most of us by it's sheer expense. But if one wants an English translation opposite the Latin original, it's certainly the reference work that many scholars prefer. For the rest of us, the English Dominican Fathers' translation of the early 20thC. is very, very good indeed. It's single virtue is that the same translation of words is used consistently throughout, even if the particular choice of words might not strike 21stC. readers in quite the same way. Some of the language is beginning to show its wear and tear, but once one is in the mindset, the reading is exceptionally clear. For those new to Aquinas, his methodology may strike some readers as odd. It's really a simple, yet elegant, system. First, Aquinas poses a question to be answered. Then he gives a variety of answers from others in the past. When you see, "but I reply," then you know you're getting to nugget of Aquinas' gems. After his reply, he responds to each of the previous author's opinions, stating why or how they are in any way deficient. Several features become instantly obvious. Aquinas had an encyclopedic mind and a good knowledge of Patristic and Aristotlean thought. Whenever possible, his answers are an a priori synthesis of the best Patristics and the best of Aristotle. These five, dense volumes in this edition illustrate the majestic scope of his enterprise. (His Summa Contra Gentiles is very similar.) There isn't really a subject or vantage that Aquinas doesn't cover. All his Summas are really magisterial (in the non-ecclesiastical sense). Lastly, Aquinas' command of the syllogism is unparalleled in human history. This is at once both its strength and its weakness. Strength in the sense of deductive logic, weakness in the sense of inductive logic. I'm convinced one can use the syllogism to argue just about anything, and if Aquinas is an example, he's an example of this mastery...

5 stars (Makes you feel smart) - Any author who can summarize the history of "nearly everything" in such an entertaining manner is truly a great writer. Bryson makes science understandable and actually succeeds in making the reader feel smart. You find yourself laughing out loud at the antidotes he offers up about great men with great ideas. This is a must for any home library. 5 stars (great audio book) - I bought the orginal abridged audio book and liked it so much that I purchased the unabridged version. 17 hours of Bryson! 5 stars (Short History but comprehensive) - Bill Bryson's Short History is a highly informative account of the history of science which manages to be both engaging and entertaining. It is impressive for the quantity of historical detail it includes and for the narrative style which includes anecdotal material which helps the reader to want to read more. It describes scientific concepts in highly accessible terms for the layperson which adds enjoyment to the reading of his account. ...

1 stars (Complaint) - It has been nearly a month and I still haven't received the book yet. Could you please review the order and return my money? Thanks. 1 stars (Who is this book written for?) - This book does not seem to be written for students! This book seems like an "Oh-Ho, look at how smart I am, let me see if I can confuse Mathematics Doctorates everywhere! Students, ha! I will impress all of my colleagues with this little gem!" Granted that reading math is not the easiest thing to do, but this is not an amiable book for students, I would be more inclined to be taught with a Schaum's Outline than this! This seems to be a trend with mathematics and science text books though. Only written to impress others in the field with little care for someone trying to actually LEARN the material. Thank you for your time. 1 stars (Poor excuse for a math book) - Maybe I was just spoiled in high school with good math books (such as Triola's Statistics book and Sullivan's Precalc text). This book has too many faults to recommend. The only plus to this book is the movies on the green CD-ROM. However, they only explain the most basic of problems and can be worthless when doing the exercises in the book. A red CD-ROM was also included and seems to be useless. An example--chapter two is very poorly done. I've had to resort to other sources to understand limits. There is too much emphasis on physics and not enough on math itself in section 2.1. The example problems in the book are hard to understand. It's a good thing I have a great professor. They seem to be verbose and the book reminds me more of Deitel's awful programming books than of a math text. The practice problems are a joke since the book doesn't really say how to do 70% of them. Color would be great for visual learners who like to take the step by step approach (rarely practiced here; quite a few steps get skipped) and prefer not to read it in paragraph form. Honestly, what kind of math book is written like...

4 stars (Good Book, worth owning) - I'm glad I bought this book, not only for it's historical significance, but also to be able to continuously refer back to it for refreshing. While I really enjoyed the first two chapters (also the longest), it started to get long-winded towards the end. This is still a very quick read and worth it's price. Two parts of the book bring up a sensitive subject (which I won't spoil) which surprisingly seemed to be a fairly common way of life for samurai. No, I'm not talking about ritual suicide, or some of their strong beliefs in honor and service, but instead something that 99% of us I'd wager never would associate with Samurai lifestyles. While unsettling, it's worthwhile learning the truths about their habits without over-glorification. Certainly a classic book which has the potential to enspire everyone to reach for their full potential. 3 stars (Hagakure for beginners) - As the title of my review suggests, I think this book makes a good introductory text for someone who doesn't have a lot of time to dedicate to studying bushido, someone who is just getting acclimated to the new way of thinking, or someone who is merely curious. The positives: -Each quotation is clearly titled and indexed, making it easy to find and reference specific quotes regarding specific topics. -Some translations have been changed to better accomodate the literal English-speaking reader. The negatives: -Short. It is only a small sampling of the wisdom of Hagakure. -While the modified translations will help English speakers avoid some of the pitfalls associated with reading from a different cultural context, they are also an incomplete and sometimes shallow understanding of the text. Again, as an introductory text this one is a good one. For a better, more complete translation of Hagakure, look for the one by William Scott Wilson. It is one of my favorite texts, though I will admit that when pressed for a quotation on short notice, I will still o...
