Customer Reviews:

We use this book everytime we go out for dinner!.......2000-04-13

Having read lots of "guidebooks" about cities both in the states and in other countries, I can confidently recommend this book as one of the most comprehensive and usable! As residents of the Twin Cities, our household brings out this book everytime we want to know more about a building we've seen, when we want to know how late the zoo is open, or when we can't decide where to have a great dinner out. It is fun to read, very well organized by areas of the cities, and includes great information, such as history of neighborhoods and buildings, menu recommendations for restaurants, and where to find "hidden" locales. Excellent!

This is a great book.......2000-04-12

Unlike all the other Minneapolis guide books i saw. this one has an entire chapter about the mall of america (which is the whole reason for our trip to minneapolis), but it lists and describes many of the stores (especially the unusual and unique ones), and it has interesting facts about the mall. The book also has great maps. And the best part is, it color codes it's entries. Parks and outdoor activities are printed in green, hotels are in blue, resturaunts in red, etc. This book was a huge help in planning what to do and how long to stay.

Beautiful book........2005-02-09

I purchased this as a gift for a friend, and I was excited to see how beautiful it was. I am a Beatles fan as well and I was very tempted to keep it for myself. :)
It's a heavy, well made picture book. You can't help but smile when looking at some of the photos. You just wish you could have been there at that moment they were taken.
If you love the Beatles then I am very sure you'll love this book. Don't pass it up!

Overdone photo "memoir" book.......2004-07-12

Freeman really doesn;t have a lot to say about either the Beatles or the photos he took of them...no professional insights on photography and no intriguing thoughts on the Beatles in the context of the British pop culture scene in the 1960's. Photos are nothing new beyond the album covers, nothing we haven't scene in Hoffman's, Gunther's, Benson's and even Beatle Biographies from Davies, Schaffner and Norman, etc.
Don't waste your money - by Hoffman's or Lewisohn's chronicles book if you want nice photos, and more insightful text.

AND MAY I INTRODUCE TO YOU...MEET THE BEATLES!.......2004-04-08

This book is a treat anybody would love. There are a plethora of delightful photographs that will make readers, from the inveterate fans to those just becoming familiar with the Fab 4 feel as if they are "meeting" the Beatles.

This author has a real flair for natural expression and the writing style is crisp and fresh. This is a book with something to offer everyone and I cannot recommend it highly enough. As the only Beatles' fan in my family, I've "introduced" many relatives to the wonderful phenomenon that was the Beatles!

This one gets a stellar endorsement and an enthusiastic "YEAH, YEAH, YEAH!" from me! I love it!

The best yet!.......2003-11-14

For anyone who thinks this is just a re-issue of the the previous book, think again. There are something like 30 "new" pictures. I just loved the new look on some of the older one's like Lennon with the Panda that's now in color and the pic of The Beatles with Mick Jagger really brings you back. This book was such a delight, I purchased the collector's edition that includes a limited edition print for my husband. At the price listed here on Amazon, you will not be disappointed by this book.

MEET THE BEATLES.......2003-10-21

This book makes you feel like you really met the Beatles! The NEW book has a revised text that is great and many new pictures I never saw before! This book is a winner and a must for every Beatles fan.

Customer Reviews:

A charming holiday-themed, full color picture book.......2002-12-14

Firefighter's Night Before Christmas is a charming holiday-themed, full color picture book story, told in rhyming verse by Kimbra Cutlip (and enhanced with the artwork of James Rice), about a firefighting team who are called away to handle a blaze just moments before a familiar Christmas holiday visitor slips down their chimney and leaves some very special surprises. Firefighter's Night Before Christmas is recommended for any family, school or community library Christmas bookshelf as being a heartwarming and entertaining story celebrating the courage of brave people who serve the public, as well as the manifold joys of the Christmas season.

A Beautiful Book.......2002-11-24

I read this book and thought that it was absolutely wonderful! The illustrations are not as bright and shiny as I would like but the message shines through. I think that now is even more important to remember the wonderful work of our firefighters. I really think that this will become a holiday fav!

Book Description

This book is an account of the battles fought by Judas Maccabeus between 166 and 160 B.C. against the forces of the Seleucids during the revolt of the Jews against domination by the Seleucid empire. It reexamines the accepted assessments of Judas Maccabeus’ activities and achievements and seeks to reconstruct the course of the military and political events of his time. Part I examines the composition and strength of the armies on both sides, their armaments and operating methods, and discusses the extent of Judas Maccabeus’ success. Following an introduction evaluating the Jewish writings from all points of view, Part II gives detailed accounts of the battles, including the terrain and the tactics employed, analysing and commenting on the relevant narratives from the Book of Maccabees. Numerous appendices discuss individual problems vital to the reconstruction of the historical developments.

Customer Reviews:

Judas Maccabeus.......2007-08-23

This is an excellent and EXTREMELY RARE military history discussing the tactical and operational aspects of Judas Maccabeus' war against the Seleucid army, at a very "reasonable" price. The first part of the book analyses IN DETAILS the armament and composition of both the Seleucid and Jewish armies. It also has an excellent section about the capability of the Seleucid army in fighting in a mountainous terrain.

The second part of the book analyses the tactical and operational aspects of the Maccabeus Revolt against the Seleucid. However, the book does not provide a continuous narrative but rather the chapters in this part of the book are commentaries of the books Maccabees I and II, discussing various tactical and operational factors. If you are not familiar with Maccabees I and II you may want to read them before reading this book. Although, this book quoted liberaly from those two books.

The best aspect of this book are the detailed tactical and topographical maps which accompanied the chapters. Alas, such maps are rare in military history books. Every military professional will appreciate the maps in this book.

If you are a military historian or professional, you will enjoy and learn much from this book which teaches about a guerilla war (with religious motives) in a constricted terrain (in the Middle East) between a conventional army and a hit and run guerilla forces. Does it sound sort of familiar to you?
