From a Singaporean.......2007-06-25

As a native of Singapore, i bought this book in hopes to duplicate some recipes of the local hawker center.
The book does not disappoint with detailed recipes for local Singapore Hainaneses Chicken rice and Laksa among a whole list of others. Unfortunately, they are spread throughout the book and you basically have to thumb through cover to cover and make your own index for reference.
The book also goes further to give tips for tourists and explanations of culture and practise that i found interesting.

All in all i was pleased with this purchase and have already started using the recipes in my home.

Book Description

Drawings of Choice reflects the wide range of contemporary drawing -- from the casual sketch to the elaborate picture, presenting preparatory studies as well as accomplished, technically labored drawings. The book includes works by 46 artists from an extraordinary, privately held collection of contemporary American drawings from the 1960s to the present that emphasize the crucial role that drawings play in the development of the artistic process. Represented are works by prominent American artists, as well as younger, lesser-known artists. The collection is particularly strong in its group of minimal and conceptual art from the 1960s and 1970s, by artists such as Carl Andre, Dan Flavin, Sol LeWitt, Agnes Martin, Richard Serra, and Lawrence Weiner. The very personal character of this collection and especially its exceptionally high level of quality make it a perfect subject for the study and teaching of contemporary drawing and art in general.

The Comprehensive Catalog to U.S. coins is the most informative literature to enable the beginner expand his/her knowledge of U.S. coins but also enrich the novice by broadening his/her expertise in other U.S. coins. This piece of work is very helpful for all stages of individuals seeking knowledge of early to modern type coins. I always refer to this catalog of coins when I encounter an early type piece I'm not familiar with. This book not only expands but also tantilize my mind by the many types of U.S. coins depicted.

Detailed, interesting catalog of united states coins.......1999-01-12

This book has many similarities to the Red Book, but it goes into considerably more detail, alerting the reader to the rarity of many coins in high grades and adding information on rare, unusual coins such as the unique Jefferson nickel of the wartime issues struck with its mintmark in the original location. Such details make this book far superior to the Red Book, lacking only the yearly update of prices to truly dominate the field. It also contains a section on patterns, entirely lacking in the Red Book. Comprehensiveness and good formatting earn this book its high rating, and easily justify it as a general reference despite it's out of date status.

very good.......2007-01-12

i think this was a very good bio into the life of Mr.LaVey. After reading most of his books, this gives a better understanding of who he was and how he came to be the founder of the Church of Satan.

Anton LaVey - The Secret Life of a Satanist.......2007-01-09

Interesting read to say the least. The man portrayed in the book had one of the most interesting lives ever. However, his entire childhood and most of his early adult life until the creation of the Satanic Church was complete fiction. It is ironic though that the man who was the representative of the Father of lies just happened to be an enormous liar.

I recommend this book to anyone who really would like to know what a true satanist is. It explains the life of Anton LaVey from how be began his life to how he found the Church of Satan. And his erotic involvements with Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield. There are alot of interesing things to find out.

Hell's Own Carny Barker.......2005-08-03

I never knew Lavey. Sometimes, reading about him, one wonders whether anyone ever really did. If you can read between the lines though (too few can), there are some deeply funny and even profound brushes which can be had with the man.

In choosing to either deify or villify him, both his sycophants and his detractors seem to get it all wrong. Lavey is best evaluated warts and all, but also with an eye to the card hand that his critics desperately hide. A quick survey of the characters (or lack thereof) of his three biggest antagonists (the sources of basically every negative accusation making the rounds) speaks for itself. But to whitewash him of any fault would equally leave an impression unworthy of what his legacy suggests.

Much has been made about the fact that Lavey seems to have invented a large part of his 'past' and I feel, from reading this book that this is evidently true. This is supposed to prove that Lavey was a fake and that any of his ideas are suspect. If this is so, then the works of Andy Warhol, Vladimir Nabokov, Jim Morrison, B. Traven and Orson Welles should all be dismissed as counterfeit.

According to Freud, we all make up our 'personas' and attendant 'pasts' as we go along. However, if this book is any record, we don't all do it with equal skill or taste.

Perhaps Lavey's greatest feat of Black Magic was his ability re-enchant the world by awakening an interest in all that is lost, forgotten or damned by consensus reality. Perhaps... but even if he was nothing more than an endearing curmudgeon with a renaissance grasp of junk culture, all his 'artifacts' would still be worth a million kewpie dolls to those with eyes to see.

Yankee Rose indeed.

Book Description

This classic biography first appeared in 1905 and still offers a valuable resource to scholars, theologians, and others interested in Irish history. The well-documented study depicts St. Patrick’s early life in 4th-century Britain during the Roman occupation, his abduction by Irish raiders, his conversion to Christianity, and his lifelong efforts to convert pagans and found churches.

Fine, Objective Study of Patrick.......2001-10-14

As he does with most of his work, Bury deserves more accolades for this critical study into St. Patrick and the varied evidence that exists to explain his life and times. Shrouded in mystery and legend, much of this "evidence" can only be trusted to a certain degree or must be considered within the broader context of the evidence's own origins, and it is this realization that Bury uses to craft the first modern and critical assessment of Patrick. Each unique source is discussed as to what its individual reliability and relevance is, then all of the specifics on this study are masterfully organized in a thorough appendix of which Bury could have been proud.
With this critical evaluation method forming the basis for Bury's study, the end result is a very readable and engaging overview into the life of St. Patrich and the christianization of Ireland, a process that has been largely simplified and therefore obscured by a wealth of legends and myths. As interesting and valuable as these myths are for their own purposes, they cannot meet the needs of the true objective historian, and for this person Bury presents the original alternative from obscurity to scholarship.
Though more recent literature on the subject exists, the general study by Bury still stands as a valuable and respectable Patrick source and I feel comfortable advising anyone with an interest in Irish or also Christianity's early history to give it a look.
Like always, Bury's book is a winner indeed.

dated critical study: good, but not for generalists.......2001-10-05

John Bury published his life of St. Patrick in 1905, and the Dover edition is an unabridged republication of that work. It includes an introduction written by Liam de Paor in 1998. It is regarded as a classic in the study of St. Patrick and provided the generally accepted interpretation of his life up until the publication in 1942 of a lecture by T.F. O'Rahilly entitled "The Two Patricks." There have been significant and substantial changes in the academic understanding of St. Patrick since the publication of John Bury's work. As Liam de Paor notes, "The perspective provided by the research of the present century mainly is based on a more rigorous criticism of the Irish sources. We can no longer, for example, take Irish fifth-century annals as contemporary, or even near contemporary, with the events they record. They are reconstructions, embodying much guesswork, made by scholars and disputants of the seventh and eighth centuries, who sought to cast their interpretation of earlier times in annalistic form. Nor can we take at face value the work of seventh-century hagiographers such as Muirchu and Tirechan, both of whom produced accounts of Patrick in the service of the claims of Armagh. Bury, of course, by his training and background, well understood the importance of the criticism of sources. However, he did not have available the results of the work on early Irish texts that has been done by numerous scholars over the past ninety years, and he was led into undue reliance on secondary and tertiary sources for want of better ones. Our picture of fifth-century Ireland is very different now from what it was at the start of the twentieth century." (pp. xix - xx)

The book is 404 pages long excluding the introduction and preface and consists of four main sections. The first section is 224 pages long: Bury's account and discussion of St. Patrick's life, its significance and context. The print is large and considered by itself this section could serve as a quick introduction to the basic narrative of St. Patrick's life and times. However, as de Paor notes, the scholarship on this subject has progressed significantly since 1905 and there were several instances where I had wished that the author had explored his subject further. For example, it appears that St. Patrick had designated funds for the manumission of Christian slaves in Ireland and had established rules for the use thereof. Pope Gregory apparently OK'd this procedure for use in Britain as well. Was this standard procedure for proselytizing missions in the 5th Century AD or was it confined to the far reaches of the occident? Were there any Papal rulings on the institution of slavery or was this just a tactic used in the far West, perhaps one that originated with St. Patrick given that much of his youth was spent as a captive sold into slavery? In any case, at least for me, there were several instances where I supposed the author presumed his audience was familiar with more of the context of those times than I think most general readers could be reasonably expected to know.

Pages 295 to 391 are Appendices A - C: notes on the sources, notes on the text, and extended discussions on particularly vexing questions, respectively. The print for these is quite small, and there are a number of difficulties for the general reader. To begin with, readers without Latin will find it difficult to tease out useful information from these as much of the critical evidence is presented in Latin which is not translated. (The main narrative also contains Latin, but I think the context makes it comprehensible.) There is also some -- though not much -- ancient Greek. Also, the text itself infrequently indicates when you should refer to the endnotes and sometimes refers you to endnotes that do not exist. The maps included do not highlight those places in Ireland that St. Patrick visited, there is no map for Britain or Gaul (which are important elements of the story), no line indicating the suggested paths St. Patrick took and no chronology. Moreover, since much of the endnotes are concerned with scholarly disputes that were current in 1905, which may or may not have much relevance to the current discussion, I imagine that they are of much more moment to those interested in the historiography of the study of St. Patrick in the early 20th century than they are to generalists like myself.

To sum up, I think that the general reader will profit from Bury's basic account of St. Patrick's life, but should be aware that much of the scholarship is outdated and that much of the supporting notes will be dated and unintelligible to him if he does not know Latin. Paor, in the introduction, mentions two studies "which should be consulted by the serious inquirer into these matters" (p. xix), R.P.C. Hanson's "St. Patrick--His Origins and Career" and E.A. Thompson's "Who Was St. Patrick?", but I cannot vouch for their accessibility to the general reader because I have not read them. Bury's index is good and comprehensive.

Rediscovering the Real Man Behind the Day of Revelry.......2001-04-23

Out of the millions of people who lived and died in the fifth century A.D., the names of only two are widely recognized throughout the English-speaking world today: Attila the Hun and St. Patrick. And Attila isn't commemorated by an annual day of remembrance that is observed from Temple Bar to the Golden Gate. This book, authored nearly a century ago by a distinguished British historian of Late Antiquity, seeks to recover the real Patrick from the legends and haze (perhaps induced from drinking too much green beer?) that have come to surround him.

Bury's expertise in the late Roman Empire (he is better known today for a series of the lectures, "The Invasion of Europe by the Barbarians" and a two-volume history of the later Roman Empire from 395-565 A.D.) serves him well in this exploration of the world of St. Patrick. Patrick was born in western Britain in the late 4th century, probably around 388-390 A.D. At this time, Britain was still a distant province of the Roman Empire, but it was being rapidly being stripped of its defensive troops in order to meet the more central threat to the Empire presented by barbarian invaders like Alaric and the Visigoths. These grand historical currents impacted Patrick's life very directly at the time of his sixteenth birthday, around the years 404-05 A.D. Niall, High King of Ireland, took advantage of Britain's weakened defenses to launch a piratical raid up the Severn estuary. Patrick was captured and carried off into slavery as a prize of war.

For some six or seven years, Patrick was assigned to watch over the livestock of his new master in the wilds of sparsely populated western Connaught -- very likely, Bury thinks, on the prominent mountain and pilgrimage site that to this day is known as Croagh Patrick. His servitude lasted for six or seven years, during which time he developed the passionate Christian faith that determined the course of the rest of his life. Then he managed to escape and made his way to one of the ports along the country's southeastern coast, where he was taken aboard a ship bound for Gaul.

Curiously, after reaching Gaul, Patrick made no immediate effort to return home. He became a monk for a number of years at the monastery of Lerins, on an island off the southern coast of France. Later, he continued his religious training and was ordained as a deacon at Auxerre, also in Gaul. By the time he finally returned home for a visit, his parents were dead, and he seems to have found nothing in west England to hold him there. He returned to Auxerre, where he was selected for the mission that made his name immortal in 432 A.D.

Bury establishes that the traditional idea that Patrick brought Christianity to a land that previously knew nothing but idol-worship and the sorcery of Druid priests is very much wide of the mark. There already seem to have been extensive Christian communities in Ireland at the time, particularly in the southeastern part of the country. Christianity had enormous prestige throughout the European world at the time because of its adoption as the ruling faith of the Roman Empire; Patrick's contemporaries of course could not foresee that its western portions would be carved up among various Germanic invaders within a few decades. Patrick was not even the first emissary dispatched by the Roman church to Ireland; a predecessor had gone out a year or two earlier, but died quickly of disease. Bury concludes that Patrick's mission was as much concerned with seeing to the organization of the existing Irish churches as it was with pursuing conversion efforts in the northern and western reaches of the island.

Patrick, however, was haunted by thoughts of the children of the north whose lack of baptism condemned them to eternal damnation under well-established Christian doctrine (notably promulgated and defended by St. Augustine only a few years earlier). He embarked for the region of Dalriada on Ireland's northeast coast, in an area (Down) now part of Ulster. He began his missionary efforts there and carried them forward over the years that followed in a broad band stretching across the country from the valley of the Boyne in the east to Clew Bay in the west. In later years, there were also some efforts in Munster and Leinster.

Bury notes that Patrick faced opposition from the Druid priests and sometimes was in physical danger, but you are left with a sense that his missionary efforts were significantly less perilous than those of the first clerics who undertook the conversion of the Slavs and Balts east of the Elbe half a millenium later. One major king, although personally disinclined to the new religion, readily granted Patrick land upon which to build houses of worship. The lack of self-confidence that afflicted adherents of the traditional religion was most clearly delineated by the fate of Patrick's former master, a chieftain named Miliucc. Hearing that his former slave was coming in an effort to convert him to the new religion, and "seized by a strange alarm lest his former slave should by some irresistible spell constrain him to embrace the new religion against his will," he gathered all his possessions together in a funeral pyre and immolated himself. The sight of the resulting conflagration -- a horrifying result of his own good intentions -- greeted Patrick as he approached from the south, and must have seared his soul forever.

Patrick lived long enough to see his new converts murdered and kidnapped by Christian raiding parties from across the Irish Sea, and Bury suggests that his final years may have been troubled by disllusionment. This book is scholarly, thorough (there are 165 pages of appendices discussing sources and various controversies), and ultimately quite moving. My only objection is that Bury is too sober a historian to tell you where the legend about driving the snakes out of Ireland came from!

History!.......2000-01-06

Bury's presentation and analysis of the facts are history at its best. This is the way history should be done. Although I have not seen Evidence One of rebuttal to Bury, most modern historians all follow lock step the axiom that Patrick started an autonomous Celtic church separate from the universal church. The extensive notes are worth the price of the book!

Readable and interesting, full of stories and humor........1998-10-15

One of the finest scholars of the late Roman world, John Bury died in 1927 leaving a distinguished record of research and writing. Bury's LIFE OF ST. PATRICK was one of the earliest scholarly attempts to separate fact from fiction in Patrick studies. Very quickly following the death of the saint a great body of stories and traditions arose around him. Some of these stories were plainly fabricated; others contained more than a grain of truth. As a scholar of the late Roman world Bury knew the territory very well and tells a compelling and plausible story of the earliest days of the Irish church. While scholarly, the book is readable and interesting, full of wonderful stories and wry humor. In his introduction to the reprint of Bury's classic, one of the greatest contemporary Patrick scholars, Liam de Paor, calls the book "a monument of enlightened scholarship and . . . of permanent value."
