Review

Hometown: Davenport, Iowa 

First-time authors Patricia K. Speth and Charlene Thode have been teaching workshops and organizing quilt retreats since they met in 1993. They have spent the last four years designing original patterns and collecting more than 240 block patterns that can be used with their "nickel" technique.

Nickel Quilts

"Each of the quilt patterns in this book is rated by skill level -- easy, beginner, or intermediate -- based on the degree of piecing difficulty. Once you've used our easy unit-construction methods to make your first nickel quilt, you'll be ready to move on to one of the more challenging projects." From inside book.

Lingua Latina per se Illustrata, Pars I: Familia Romana (Latin Edition) - �rberg, Hans H. Review & Synopsis

 Synopsis Hans �rberg's Lingua Latina per se Illustrata is the world's premiere series for learning Latin via the Natural Method. The Natural Method encourages students to learn Latin without resorting to translation, but instead by teaching them to think in the language: students first learn grammar and vocabulary inductively through extended contextual reading and an ingenious system of marginal notes. Lingua Latina per se Illustrata is also the most popular series for those teachers at both the secondary and collegiate levels who wish to develop Latin conversational skills in the classroom. Familia Romana (the main book of Pars I of the Lingua Latina per se illustrata series) contains thirty-five chapters and describes the life of a Roman family in the 2nd century A.D. It culminates in readings from classical poets and Donatus's Ars Grammatica, the standard Latin school text for a millennium. Each chapter is divided into two or three lessons (lectiones) of a few pages ea...

The Dog of the South - Charles Portis Review & Synopsis

 Synopsis His wife, Norma, has run off with her ex-husband, taking Ray's cards, shotgun and car. But from the receipts, Ray can track where they've gone. He takes off after them, as does an irritatingly tenacious bail bondsman, both following the romantic couple's spending as far as Mexico. There Ray meets Dr Reo Symes, the seemingly down-on-his-luck and rather eccentric owner of a beaten up and broken down bus, who needs a ride to Belize. The further they drive, in a car held together by coat-hangers and excesses of oil, the wilder their journey gets. But they're not going to give up easily. Review Charles Portis may be the sneakiest comedian in American letters, not to mention one of the funniest. And there's no better specimen of his double-edged art than The Dog of the South, which Overlook Press has recently rescued from a long, cruel, out-of-print limbo. As usual, the narrator is a down-at-the-heels Southerner with an eye for the homely detail and a mission to...

The One and the Many: A Contemporary Thomistic Metaphysics - Clarke S.J., W. Norris Review & Synopsis

DOWNLOAD BOOK FREE HERE Synopsis When it is taught today, metaphysics is often presented as a fragmented view of philosophy that ignores the fundamental issues of its classical precedents. Eschewing these postmodern approaches, W. Norris Clarke finds an integrated vision of reality in the wisdom of Aquinas and here offers a contemporary version of systematic metaphysics in the Thomistic tradition. The One and the Many presents metaphysics as an integrated whole which draws on Aquinas' themes, structure, and insight without attempting to summarize his work. Although its primary inspiration is the philosophy of St. Thomas himself, it also takes into account significant contributions not only of later philosophers but also of those developments in modern science that have philosophical bearing, from the Big Bang to evolution. Review W. Norris Clarke, S.J., is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Fordham University, Bronx, New York, and is the author of, among other books, Exploratio...
