Excellent coverage of little-known Leyte Gulf incident
Little Wolf at Leyte is an extremely thorough examination of the life and death of a World War II destroyer escort and her crew from the time of it's construction and commissioning to it's death in the Battle of Samar. Samuel B. Roberts, as warships go was a little player in a large setting.But, during the Battle of Samar, this ship suddenly became a big player ina big scene. Without the dedication and gallantry of her crew againsttremendous odds, the battle for the Philiipines may have been a great dealcostlier for the United States and her allies.The author examines many ofthe crew from the commanding officer from Washington, a reserve lieutenantcommander named Copeland, to a young gunner's mates from Oklahoma. He does excellent work in bringing the human spirit into sharp focus during thisbattle.Little Wolf at Leyte tells the reader about Gunner's Mate Paul H.Carr and his short life.His example was just one of many at the Battle ofSamar in October 1944.This is a must read for Naval history enthusiastsas well as being an excellent text for learning leadership traits.TheNavy has honored Little Wolf by naming three ships to commemorate thisaction.One for Samuel B. Roberts, one for the commanding officer, AdmiralCopeland and one for Petty Officer Carr. This alone should encourage othersto learn why this battle was so pivotal to American fortune in thePhilippines. I highly recommend this book. ... Read more

Product Description
During the winter of 1818-1819, Samuel Taylor Coleridge gave fourteen lectures on the history of philosophy. A shorthand writer took down twelve of them in the most detailed version of Coleridge's lectures known to exist. The transcriptions are imperfect and inaccurate in various ways, but, when they are combined with Coleridge's own notes, as in this edition, the result is a coherent and largely complete whole.

The lectures contain Coleridge's interpretation of the history of philosophy. He opposed the idea, widely accepted at the time, that the philosophy of the Enlightenment had advanced by conquering religion. He believed that this view had doomed philosophy to the low esteem in which it was held in Britain, and he wanted to counter it by showing that the philosophy of the Enlightenment was largely derivative and that neither philosophy nor religion could stand alone. This series of lectures was his most systematic attempt to survey the relationship of philosophy to religion from Thales to Kant.

The edition presents a fully annotated and indexed text of the lecture series, and it provides in addition the complete texts of the shorthand reports and of Coleridge's own notes (which were omitted from the Coleridge Notebooks), along with newspaper and manuscript reports by people who attended the lectures. The volume includes an appendix by Owen Barfield, which is drawn from his incomplete manuscript edition of the lectures. ... Read more

Product Description
This is Robert LeFevre's magnum opus. Considered the definitive work on the nature of liberty, Mr. Robert LeFevre's The Fundamentals of Liberty is a combination of over 25 years of work as a lecturer, author and president of Rampart College. The book took five years to complete and was finished only a few weeks before his death in 1986.Viewed today as one of the founding fathers of the modern libertarian movement, LeFevre was a major influence with campus libertarians during the turbulent 1960's. His philosophy on ownership, the nature of man and his government sent shock-waves throughout California and eventually the world.Some of his chapters titles include: The Industrial Revolution; the Robber Barons; Epistemology; Property and Ownership; Early Man; Socialism; Communism; Wealth; Banking; The American Story; The Declaration of Independence; Freedom; Withdrawal of Sanction; and more (34 chapters), hardbound, 487 pages ...

.. a clear and compelling vision of liberty ...
Still profoundly controversial more than fifteen years after his death, Robert LeFevre's The Fundamentals of Liberty is a deeply penetrating and insightful work that encompasses, in clear, step-by-step fashion, a unique and compelling vision of liberty and the freedom philosophy that resulted from over 25 years of study and thought in LeFevre's work as a newspaper editor, lecturer, author, and as the founder and president of Rampart College.

Widely regarded as one of the founders and pioneers of the modern libertarian movement, Robert LeFevre was a major influence on college campuses during the tubulent 1960's and into the 1970's. His philosophical vision regarding ownership, the nature of mankind, and the role of government was often controversial to say the least, and sent shock waves thoughout California and the rest of the world. Many who attended his lectures or his Freedom School in the Colorado Rockies were and continue to be deeply influenced by his views.

Some of the chapter titles in this impressive volume include: The Industrial Revolution; The Robber Barons; Epistemology; Property and Ownership; Early Man; Socialism; Communism; Wealth; Banking, The American Story; The Declaration of Independence; Freedom; Withdrawal of Sanction; and more! (34 chapters in all!)

The information contained in this rare volume covers, in clear, simple, step-by-step language, most of the concepts personally presented by LeFevre in his famous Freedom School, first in Colorado, and later in California. In an earlier form, it was distributed as a mimeographed home-study course. Completely re-written and expanded, this magnificent work, LeFevre's magnum opus, was completed in 1986, only a few weeks before his death. It provides an excellent and revealing introduction to key concepts and ideas, both for the new student and the advanced scholar. ... Read more

Delightful Reading
I really like books by Robert Goddard and this one was especially good.A good touching story with a touch of mystery.Very enjoyable.

arrived quickly and in great shape!!!
My books arrived promptly, haven't had a chance to read them yet, but looking forward to it.Great condition.

Where has he been?
I recently discovered this author after reading a column by Stephen King about his favorite books of 2008.He mentioned this author and how dazzled his was by the excellence of his writing.I agree!I recently purchased this and two other of his novels, and I plan to read them all.Mr. Goddard combines historical backgrounds with very compelling fiction. Treat yourself today and purchase one of Mr. Goddards novels.You won't be able to put the book down.

Most likely this is Goddard's Best
Robert Goddard is the master of intergenerational mysteries:those skeletons in the closet must come out eventually, and not at the most convenient time! Other reviews will give a synopsis of the plot; I will tell you here that this remains the best English mystery I have read, bar none.If you like convoluted plots and mysteries within mysteries, this is the novel for you. I liked it so well, I have bought half a dozen used copies and shared them with friends. Read it, you won't find all the answers until the last page of the last chapter.

Good historical mystery
I enjoyed following the different characters through the twists and turns of this story set in WWI-era England. Really kept me guessing, and kept me interested through the different threads of the story. ... Read more

Shining the Light on One State's Highly Flawed Constitution
State constitutions don't get the attention they deserve. They are important historical documents, and they have considerable influence on state and local government. Alabama's constitution is, according to the scholars and journalists who know it well, one of the longest (more than 315,000 words) and worst. In recent years, a grassroots movement for a new constitution has spread across the state. So the timing is right for a rigorous look at the history and practical consequences of the current document. "A Century of Controversy" serves as a terrific primer for understanding how this constitution came to be, how it has survived for more than 100 years and how it continues to impede home rule and good governance generally. Along with furthering debate about constitutional reform in Alabama, this book should inspire students of other state constitutions to take up their pens. ... Read more
