Unquestionable the best exporting resource I have ever read........1998-07-29

Over the past thirty years, I think that I have read almost every book ever written in English on the subject of exporting. While many of them were good, the Export Sales & Marketing Manual is the only one that I have been able to use every bsuiness day. I recommend it without reservation.

Book Description

Steeped in history and legend, London has the dubious reputation of being the most haunted capital city in the world. Its wonderfully eerie past has left behind ghosts that occupy the narrow streets and alleyways, theaters, churches, walking tours through the London area's most haunted quarters, complete with maps and fascinating histories of the ghosts that may be encountered. This guide also includes a walk through Pluckley, widely acclaimed by experts as being the most haunted village in England.

An excellent guide!!.......2004-09-23

I went to London earlier this year and bought the book because it was exactly the type of thing I wanted to do during my trip. The book was terrific!! We did several of the walking tours, and each was right on the mark. We decided to do the Jack the Ripper walk on our own instead of with a tour group. Each direction was precise. We were extremely impressed!!! This book is a great idea for those visiting London!!

Well Written and Very Atmospheric.......2003-06-23

I really enjoyed reading this book and following the routes. Richard Jones is a compelling storyteller and his eyes for direction and detail is excellent. I purchased the book prior to my recent vacation in London and read it cover to cover on the plane over. The first route I followed was the Jack the Ripper Walk and I found it spinechilling. Whitechapel seems as eerie and crime-ridden now as it did back in 1888. I took Jones's suggestion and purchased the A-Z of jack the Ripper before setting out and so was well prepared with the additional information required. I found the Tower of London walk a superbly laid out route around the old fortress. It kept me well away from the crowds and in some of the towers I was totally alone (at least I hope I was.)The text captured perfectly the ambience of each section of the tower's towers.

Yes a lot of the stories are short, but this they are crisply written, are extremely well told and cram a lot of detail into the space. And with 25 walks plus a detailed index crammed into its 160 pages it offers extremely good value for money. The book is first and foremost an "on the hoof guide" and is not a detailed investigation into ghosts and hauntings. It is fun and informative and the directions are very detailed but also, and this wasn't the case with several other guides I had purchased, accurate. Jones's directions across Hampstead Heath for example, were extremely easy to follow. In short this is a boook that will appeal both to the armchair walker and the avid wanderer.

Very well written, but lacks depth of the actual hauntings.......2003-02-01

I found this book to be extremely well written. Although I have not yet been to London, the directions and maps seem to be superb. In addition to the basic ghost "tour," the author also treats the reader to nice little stops along the tours -- like pubs and eateries. Estimated tour times are also given so one can plan their day.
The actual book itself is very well made. Higher quality than most paperbacks. It should easily hold up to heavy use while touring the streets of London.

HOWEVER, I was greatly disappointed with the book because very little detail is given to the actual hauntings and stories for which the tours are based. I found this book bland and boring because it lacks the details (historical or eye-witness accounts) that help draw and keep the reader's attention. Often a chapter consists of more directions than actual ghost stories.
I have read dozens, perhaps hundreds, of books on ghosts and hauntings for which I have created a baseline used to judge other ghosts and haunting books. I had to force myself to finish reading this book. A first for me when it comes to a true-story ghost book.
I would give the book 5 stars for directions, maps, and touring information. However, the actual stories of hauntings are so short and lack-luster that I dropped the overall rating to 2 stars.

A MUST-HAVE Book if you're visiting London.......2001-03-06

EXCELLENT book. Very well written and moves right along. Fantastic, simple maps that look easy to follow--going to give them the test next time I'm in London. Even without being in London, just reading the text was extremely enjoyable. I've read TONS of ghost books; and he's found haunts of London I didn't even know existed; along with the "old standard" ghosts of Tower of London. This book is INDISPENSIBLE if you're visiting London--or if you just need a good scare!

A splendid companion for rambles in London!.......2000-07-02

Even for those who don't believe in ghosts! It's a good idea to have some sort of a quest when you travel, whether it be the search for the driest pub cider or the quintessential Wren spire. Without some such unifying theme, travel can become a pointless round of obligatory tourist stops. Hunting hauntings is an excellent quest because it inevitably involves two of the main joys of travel in England--history and atmosphere. I have spent four fascinating vacations in England seeking the most haunted site in the Isles and the ultimate English garden--with liberal dashes of theatre and museums for variety-and still I have only scratched the surface of each subject. "Walking Haunted London" was a wonderful addition to my most recent trip. I took the entire Chiswick walk (backwards) and did portions of the Old City, City of the Dead, Westminster, and Covent Garden walks. All creepily enjoyable! Not only are the walks well-described and the ghosts' stories enthusiastically recounted, but the book gives good hints about other important matters, such as cosy pubs and interesting historical sites on or near the routes. (By the way, I understand that Richard Jones also guides the "Original Psychic Ghost Walk" in London many nights of the year. I haven't taken this walking tour myself, but if his storytelling skills match his storywriting skills, it's probably great. If interested, check the TimeOut listings when in town.)

Book Description

One of the most dangerous deficits facing transatlantic relations today is not in trade, payments, or military capabilities. It is a deficit in understanding the vital stake Americans and Europeans have developed in the health of their economic relationship. Globalization is happening faster and reaching deeper between Europe and America than between any other two continents. The transatlantic economy generates roughly $3.5 trillion in total commercial sales a year and employs over 12 million workers in mutually "insourced" jobs.

This book maps the increasingly dense web of investment, trade, and jobs that connects Europe's regions to America's states. It traces the impact of NAFTA and EU enlargement on transatlantic economic flows. It tracks intercontinental "connectivity" in the new knowledge economy, and it sets forth areas in which Europe and America continue to be global pathfinders.

In the context of today's debates about globalization and transatlantic drift, this book offers some unanticipated and counterintuitive connections that have important policy implications.

A book to break the mould.......2005-06-11

Dan Hamilton, who used to help run European policy at the U.S. State Department, now directs the Center for Transatlantic Relations in Washington DC, and this book should revolutionize the way Americans think about Europe. Put aside the jokes about the French and the gloom in Germany about the lackluster European economy and the market wobbles about the future of the euro and read this book. The relationship between Europe and the U.S. is not about Iraq or NATO or Russia or the UN or working together for debt relief for the Third World, it is about the way they are becoming a single Transtalantic economy. Daimler takes over Chrysler; British Aerospace and British Petroleum now have more American than British shareholders; Airbus is the second biggest aerospace employer in the US. The key to Hamilton's book, which builds on a report published by his thinktank and written by Joseph Quinlan, is that we have been looking in the wrong place when we try to analyse the Transatlantic economic relationship. It is not to be measured in trade figures, because there is so much more mutual investment that we don't ship goods back and forth - we ship money that builds factories that employ people and make goods. So Transtalantic trade is some $600 billion a year; but add together the sales of US-owned companies in Europe, and European-owned companies in the US, and the real economic relationship is over $3,000 billion a year, and 12 million Europeans and Americans work for one another's companies. This is one interwoven and interdependent economy; Europe and the US are joined at hip, whatever Jacques Chirac of Geioge W Bush may say.

Don't go confusing your Thomas Cranmer with your Thomas More; now there is a Tudor faux-pas if ever there was one. Cranmer made the divorce happen, More lost his head over it. Cranmer wrote the Book of Common Prayer, More was the author of Utopia. And it was More who was canonized a saint, while Cranmer was executed by "Bloody" Mary Tudor for his fiendish plotting on behalf of Lady Jane Grey as well as for his embracing an evangelical brand of Protestantism the Catholic queen found wholly disagreeable. In this highly readable biography, we get the first new treatment of Cranmer in three decades, bolstered by recent scholarship and new sources. Think this stuff is remote? Cranmer, as Archbishop of Canterbury, crafted two editions of the English Book of Common Prayer. The success of this book had an enormous impact on the English language, loading terms with meaning and influencing the rhetoric of power for the next two centuries.

Book Description

This prizewinning biography provides the definitive account of Thomas Cranmer, archbishop of Canterbury, architect of the Anglican Book of Common Prayer, King Henry VIII`s guide through three divorces, and ultimately a martyr for his Protestant faith. English Reformation scholar Diarmaid MacCulloch draws on new manuscript sources in Britain and elsewhere to create this vivid new study-the first on Cranmer in over thirty years.

The Jury is still out.......2007-06-15

I have'nt finished this book but as you've asked me I respond. The book is heavy going,but probably no one will ever do better owing to the subject i.e Cranmer's deeds are known in all their inconsistancies in the earlier years,but nothing is known of the personal reasonings that gave rise to them.
Even the glories of his style of writing just seemed to come from nowhere,but the Author does a good job in explaining its inimitableness

A Worthwhile and Eye Opening Adventure.......2006-05-23

I took "Thomas Cranmer" on in order to make sense of a seeming paradox: What I already "knew" of him did not square with the theology I had begun to discover in his Collects and Prayer Book. I was curious!

MacCulloch does a masterful job at presenting this complex, and sometimes contradictory figure of the early English Reformation. Despite the derrogatory review given by "a reader," I found very little bias and no axe-grinding in this work. Actually, I came to the book expecting some bias. Even being thusly prepared and properly skeptical, I found only a very few times that MacCulloch let his own opinions show through. (When he does, it is in parentheses with exclamation points!!) You can almost hear him chuckle at times.

I read the book in 9 or 10 days, and never found it to be a chore; in fact, the most difficult thing was putting it down and going to bed! While the book is scholarly, and masterfully written, it is definitely not tedious or boring.

I came to the end of the book with a deep respect for Cranmer. I have many points of disagreement with him, and yet a certain admiration for his eventual willingness to heroically stand where he believed the Gospel compelled him to stand. Fr. James DeKoven, an early Anglican theological hero in Wisconsin, once said "We live at a time when cowardice in matters of religion has been elevated to the status of virtue." Archbishop Thomas Cranmer proved, in the end, to be anything but a coward.

I have corresponded several times now with Professor MacCulloch, and find him to be humble, dedicated, and helpful. I am now reading his "The Reformation: a history," and I plan to read everything else of his that I can get my hands on!

A masterful biography.......2005-06-10

Many Anglican history books have an axe to grind. But not this masterful biography. The Thomas Cranmer of MacCulloch is very human, but no villian nor an unblemished hero.

We see his theological evolution from a fairly orthodox Catholic to a stauch Protestant who went to the stake in defiance of Bloody Mary and the "Antichrist" Pope.

MacCulloch also takes the reader into the historical sources and their reliability. These, along with his extensive footnotes will be of interest to any serious student of Anglican history.

Yet this longish book is very readable and rarely gets bogged down, again unlike some other Anglican histories.

If you want to learn about Thomas Cranmer or about early Anglicanism, this book is a must read.

Flawed Saint of the Church.......2003-11-05

MacCulloch's book provides access to the singularly foundational figure of the reformation in England. Most who recognize Cranmer's name at all know him only as the author of the first Prayer Book or the man who attained Henry VIII's annulment from Catherine. MacCullogh gives depth to Cranmer as a flawed yet faithful agent of the Church, one who sought with conviction the reformation of the Church of England but was also willing to slavishly follow his prince in order to achieve that reformation. The final chapter, chronicling Cranmer's fall and ultimate martyrdom, reads with the pace of a good novel. For Episcopalians and others with an affinity for the Anglican tradition, insight into Cranmer's life and thought is crucial, and MacCulloch presents that insight with skill.

Misleading information on Cranmer's theology--rubbish........2001-11-16

MacCulloch seeks to present Archbishop Cranmer as a radical protestant with little scholarly interest or knowledge of the early church, and also that the "via media" of Anglicanism that resulted from the English Reformation was contrary to Cranmer's radical protestant beliefs and is a "myth." While MacCulloch may have written a biography he failed to examine the source of Cranmer's beliefs and theology. MacCulloch claims that Cranmer's eucharistic theology stems from the Swiss Reformed tradition: one had only to read Basil Hall's essay in "Thomas Cranmer: Churchman and Scholar" edited by Ayris and Selwyn to see that this is demonstrably false. Cranmer was heavily influenced by Lutheranism as well as by the "exposition of the most holy and learned fathers and martyrs" of "the holy catholic church of Christ from the beginning" (Cranmer's words) and as such his theology clearly stands in the same line as that of Richard Hooker and Lancelot Andrewes. This sort of "scholarship" with an obvious ax to grind is perhaps the worst sort. If you want to know Cranmer's views on the Sacraments (as most Anglicans or scholars of the Reformation do) please read him in his own words in "A Defense of the True and Catholic Doctrine of the Sacrament of the Body and Blood of Christ" (if you can find a copy in the library) or in "Thomas Cranmer: Churchman and Scholar."

First Stab at Comprehensive Maine Jewish History a Fine Effo.......2003-12-16

What a surprise and pleasure to encounter an author with such sensitive and accurate insight into character of pre-Yuppy Maine Jews. The author's curiosity and aggressiveness are remarkable and commendable, since there are few printed resources for her to exploit; and since early Maine Jews deviated considerably from American Jewish stereotypes. Risen delves into personalities and localities previously ignored and captures the special character of these people, especially those in small towns, in a creditable, valuable, and artistic fashion. I doubt that much of this would have been saved without her wonderful effort. She stands with Judith Goldstein and Benjamin Band as the only reliable preservers of the spirit and dynamic Maine's pioneer Jews. She provides what cannot be intuited from censuses, directories, a few self-adulatory autobiographies and interviews, and organizational hype literature. Few of the Jews who were still strongly connected to their tradition, yet enamored of the wonder of Maine, are still alive and articulate. I hope that Risen goes on to snag and provide all their wonderful stories.
