Frommer's Hawaii with kids.......2007-10-03
While searching for information on traveling with a wheelchair user I came across this book with on line excerpts that contained just what I was looking for. The tips and special advice found here have answered many questions concerning travel around and accessibility of the various islands. Well worth the money.
Excellent Choice!.......2007-08-28
I think that of all the Hawaii-related travel books out there, this one is the best because it is full of pertinent information without getting to involved. It is perfect if you are planning your vacation to include children. It gives you everything from choosing family-friendly accommodations and dining to planning events everyone in the entire family with love. I am very happy that I chose this book.
Hawaii with Kids.......2007-03-10
Love this book! Very helpful when planning your trip to an island for the first time.
Good General Info but Restaurant Reviews not helpful.......2006-12-26
This book had a lot of good general info on both Hawaii and good spots to visit with children. However, the restaurant reviews in general were not helpful. Restaurants rated positively for kids menus were often poor quality with limited children's selections. In one restaurant, the only thing our 3 year old could order was garlic bread!

Great book.......2007-01-04
My daughter, who's 13, uses it for her classes. The contents are great, and the drawings and pictures excellent.
Customer Reviews:
Conscice with Good Pictures.......2000-02-09
Although this book has extremely good photos and charts, its actual content is limited. Coverage of specific events and battles is conscice. This shortcoming is slightly made up for in the book's appendicies which include a nice atlas, portfolio projects, histrical documents, and glossary. However, I recomend this book only for a general review of world history. It is useful as a suplement to other world history texts.
Customer Reviews:
right version.......2007-09-05
there is no preview but it is the right version, so I will keep it.
Human History in Brief.......2001-05-01
This is one of the best book on global history, you can find every religion from east to west, north to south. You can read about all empires and kings, you can know all cultures and traditions. There is no other book which have reviewed and presented true picture of three major religions; Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
Book Review.......2000-10-17
The book was not the best textbook.....there is no study guide
Pounds and Education.......1999-08-27
My daughter have to carry tree of these size books. Her school bag is 18 lbs. Why not divide all of these schoolbooks on two parts and make our kids happy. I believe school (elementary, middle and high) is not military training base.

Book Description
A friendly, conversational look at what Calvinism has to say to the 21st century world, this book clears up some misconceptions about Calvinism and shows Calvinists how to live gently and respectfully with Christians who disagree as well as with non-Christians who have no clue what TULIP means.
Customer Reviews:
Good stuff, but mostly junk........2007-06-30
It does a good work of defining Calvinism per ce, but it is no good at all. Its title and introduction are catchy, but once you are halfway there, you'll find out it is a waste of money.
It promotes ecumenism, and it even teaches that some non-Christians could be saved! Its concept of "Calvinism" is reminiscent of that old Holland-based Reformed-church kind of Calvinism, not our fundamentalist 5-point Calvinism.
Meditations on being a Calvinist in the 21st century.......2007-05-19
"Calvinism in the Las Vegas Airport" is a collection of meditations on what Calvinism is and on being a Calvinist in the 21st century. If you are looking for a thorough biblical defense of Calvinism try Loraine Boettner's "Reformed Doctrine of Predestination" (although there are some brief chapters on the basics of Calvinism in this book). What you will find between the covers of Dr. Mouw's little book on Calvinism is a thoughtful examination of how Calvinism affects (and how it should affect) the thinking and living of those who claim this label as their own. It is a warm, non-argumentative explanation of the strengths and weaknesses of an often misunderstood group of Christians who would rather err on the side of God's sovereign rule of the cosmos than allow that man's freedom trumps God's will.
Having grown up as a Wesleyan and finding my way to Calvinism during and after college I really resonate with Dr. Mouw who appears to have taken a similar journey. He struggles with the same issues I struggle with while maintaining that Calvinism makes the most sense in light of what the bible says and the evidence offered by life experience. This would have gotten a five except for some of Dr. Mouw's "hunches" about theological topics which he describes, but doesn't defend very well.
What ever your theological persuasion read this book to understand who Calvinists are and what you can learn from their teachings with the understanding that Dr. Mouw, and many other Calvinists like him (and me!), want to learn from you as well.
Calvinism in the Las Vegas Airport: Making Connections in Today's World .......2006-11-10
Richard Mouw writes in a personable and likable style, but his defense of Calvinism left me unconvinced. He seemed concerned to persuade the reader that Calvinists are nice people (and most are),but he didn't provide much in the way of a scriptural basis for Calvinism itself. This was an easy and pleasant read, but when the book was finished I was still hungry for evidence that Calvinism is grounded in reality.
A Simple, Straightforward Read.......2006-08-09
This is a good book to get an overview of the basics of Calvinism, and how to discuss them rationally and civilly with people who don't see things the same way. It's a little overly simplistic at times, particularly when Mouw chooses not to defend his belief in the "Limited Atonement" part of TULIP on the grounds that he just can't. Still, I would recommend this book not only to Calvinists, but to Arminians, and possibly even nonbelievers looking for some clarity on the issue. Mouw's style is more conversational than confrontational, and it's a relatively easy read, given the subject matter.
Calvinism for the Rest of Us.......2006-04-04
I grew up in a Reformed family, in a Reformed church, in a Reformed school. I was eating TULIP before I was drinking milk! So, its somewhat an enigma for those who know me that I have such reservations about Calvinism. I have tried talking on blogs about these reservations but mostly get responses that don't further endear me to a Calvinist mindset.
But Mouw's book is different. Richard Mouw accomplishes exactly what he sets out to do in this book - a description of how best to be a Calvinist in the 21st century. I could almost entirely embrace Mouw's form and approach to Calvinism - which is no small statement for me to make!!
He does not spend a tremendous amount of time discussing the intricacies of the doctrine which will upset some. He is open to the fact that there may be other believers who have some mixed up doctrine but will still be saved - and he is open to hearing their concerns about where his doctrine might be mixed up. That will upset others. He admits that Scripture, taken at face value, says things that are in tension with his theology. He accepts these tensions rather than trying to twist Scripture to fit his theology. Some will gnash their teeth over this.
I get the sense that Mouw is the type of person that I could sit down with and I would be impressed with his humility, spiritual maturity, humor, and flexibility. That would not only make me willing to listen to what he has to say about Calvinism - I might even be drawn to it!
Ignore the comments that say this is not a book worth buying. The book is not designed to teach people the basic beliefs of Calvinism. However, it would be very helpful to those who recognize that there is great good in Calvinism but can't completely wade their way through it. I would highly recommend this book to anyone desiring to figure out a more embracing approach to Calvinism.

A good buy.......2007-03-09
It is full of detailed drawings of armor and weapons so in case you wish to know what something looks like without having to search all over the place for it, this book is worth it. It does not have a large amount of text explaining the weapons and armor though.
Medieval Arms and Armor: A Pictorial Archive.......2007-01-05
I bought this for my 10 year old grandson for Christmas. He is really interested in medieval history. He was so excited that he kept going back to this book between opening other presents.
Beautifully Done Drawings.......2005-02-09
Reproducedfrom a book originally published in Germany in 1903, this book contains more than a hundred pages of drawings of weapons, and particularily of armor from about 780 to the mid 1600's. The descriptions that go along with the illustrations are very well done and describe points that should be noted about the illustrations. These have been taken from the original German and specially translated for this edition.
Covering such a long period of time, the development of styles of armor and the details of construction. I found the discussion on points like gauntlets, elbow protectors and the like to be more complete than anywhere else I've seen. They are based on drawings of the earliest equipment, burial monuments, and from the fifteenth century through the Thirty Years War on extant examples of plate armor.
Very well done.
