Great Prayers For Ecumenical Services.......2007-06-02
I have found this book to be of great value in my Ecumenical relations with other faiths.
I have also found for myself a deep spiritual renewal in reading this book.
I recommend this Book of Common Prayer to all that value the wisdom within other faiths.
Very Good!.......2007-05-14
Well, I can't rate the BCP anything but positive. My only concern was I failed to read the size of the book and it was smaller then I would have liked, the pages are thin, but at the same time feel very "strong." It has the Daily Office and the complete Psalter. If only I had read the dimensions, I am sure I would have opted for a larger addition. If you don't have problems with smaller print, then by all means purchase this copy, you can't be the price. Also the binding it very good, the book while small, lays flat, whch is a really nice in a hardcover book of this size.
Review of BCP.......2007-03-25
I was pleased with this book, as well as for the speed of delivery. Thanks.
the other good book.......2007-03-24
This book was so good, I used it in my wedding!
Book of Uncommon prayer.......2007-03-23
A wonderful size to tuck in a backpack or purse, I love the language of the liturgy and the realm of spiritual union they create between the reader and God. Nicely bound, delicate paper.
Book Description
An irresistible, entertaining peek into the privileged realm of Wordsworth and Wodehouse, Chelsea Clinton and Hugh Grant, Looking for Class offers a hilarious account of one man's year at Oxford and Cambridge -- the garden parties and formal balls, the high-minded debates and drinking Olympics. From rowing in an exclusive regatta to learning lessons in love from a Rhodes Scholar, Bruce Feiler's enlightening, eye-popping adventure will forever change your view of the British upper class, a world romanticized but rarely seen.
Customer Reviews:
Seconding "Utter tosh".......2007-06-22
This book primarily concerns an American student's efforts to meet girls in his year abroad at Cambridge, interspersed with dry excerpts from his thesis and smug observations of upper class college students behaving badly. When he gets dumped by a Canadian, he blames it on her pretentious British attitude. Not much introspection, here.
If anything, this book convinced me that Cambridge students are no different from their American counterparts. All college students want to do is get drunk and get laid.
Oxbridge unraveled and a great novel to boot!.......2006-08-05
Feiler has developed a great combination with his insightful investigative journalism in novel form. From the perspective of both an Oxford and Harvard alumnus, this book paints captivativating dichotomies between academic life on either side of the pond (Feiler being a Yalie). In essence, he distills the frank truth that Oxbridge still lords over British intellectual and cultural life, and that its students define themselves as the heirs or failures to this 800 year plus tradition in a way that no longer holds for American schools. An excellent read for any future Oxbridge student, or for elite American graduates who are looking to see what it is like on the inside of Britain's ultimate proving grounds.
Feiler: A Safe Bet.......2006-07-14
Bruce Feiler has proven that he is a fine writer. This is my second selection of his bibliography. Not only does he introduce the reader to an interesting destination, he competently contrasts the place and its people to his own culture. The resulting information has more depth and clarity than a mere travel piece. "Looking For Class" reads like a novel, with interesting characters and situations, while illuminating the educational systems of two of the world's most prestigious institutions. For anyone considering college in the near future, any reader who has interest in understanding culture and higher education across the pond, or just an armchair traveller this is a great read.
Looking for class, finding an education.......2004-12-15
This is an imminently readable, well-written and informative book. Bruce Feiler did a wonderful job of describing his experience at Cambridge in 1990-1991, sometimes in incredibly lucid detail. You won't learn much about what he actually learned pursuing his master's of philosophy in international relations, but you will learn volumes about British upperclass society (through the eyes of an American), their social interactions, and most importantly, about how higher education shapes people's lives indirectly. An excellent book.
Utter tosh.......2004-07-10
Bruce Feiler was "Looking for Class" at Cambridge University - he didn't get it. Well, in the sense of seeking out a location at which to study, he seemed to get the hang of that, gaining an M.Phil degree in a year as a mature student. A member of The Class of Sometime in the Early 90's, I presume. But the fact that he entitles this book "Looking for Class", and that one suspects he means "Searching for Social or Economic Status", implies that he missed the point of the institution altogether.
Feiler is a professional author, and uses language competently (although some of his metaphors are clumsy - "Feeling as lonely as a chimney in a burning wooden house..."). He would be able to make comparison with an American university, having attended Yale. And whilst his descriptions of Cambridge University life are perhaps factually accurate, the spin he puts on them result in a book about a place I scarcely recognise. I should say that I am an American citizen and attended Cambridge University as an undergraduate, albeit in the late 70's rather than the early 90's.
By over-emphasising perceived eccentricities and peccadilloes, he populates his Cambridge with chapter upon chapter of stereotypes and caricatures. Whilst I recall some unconventional types, most of the people I met were as normal as... well, as only Feiler seems to be in the book. In consequence, an air of his superiority permeates. He is well travelled and educated, but he uses a faux naiveté as a device to highlight the cultural differences which bemuse him. The one sequence which rang true was his drubbing at the Union debate. And whilst he appreciates sarcasm, inevitably he fails to grasp the ironies.
Above all, it is outrageous that this book perpetuate the myth that modern Oxbridge is a world of "the British upper class, a world romanticized but rarely seen". Yes, in the late 70's, the Cambridge student intake did not fully reflect the socio-economic structure of the country, with a preponderance of students from private schools. But 95% of my colleagues were "upper class" in only one aspect, that of being academically bright. The true nature of the British class system totally escaped Feiler after a year long scrutiny. "Brideshead Revisited".... yeah, right.
The book gets one star because I did finish it, despite never being so annoyed at a book before. This is not journalism; it is either an inept investigation or an arrogant hatchet job. Read something else if you wish to "part the curtains on the mysterious firmament of British education".
Book Description
Ideal for walking tours, this book guides you through the streets of these university cities with an insider's eye for architectural detail and fascinating stories of the histories and personalities associated with the universities. Galleries, museums, libraries, churches, gardens, parks, shopping centers, as well as the environs of the cities are covered thoroughly. New to this edition is more detailed practical information to get the most out of these two gracious cities.

A superior guide.......2007-07-19
I used this guide in 2005 and found it excellent, indispensable really. It certainly far exceeds any other guide to OxCam I've come across. And it will travel with me again.
If you have the least interest in the history and architecture of the two towns, get this book! It's very helpful with both the big picture and such details as what's what in this hall or that chapel. For example, there's over three pages on Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford, with a wealth of information on when this and that was constructed and by whom. And there is an additional four pages (small print) on the rest of the college of Christ Church.
The guide also has plenty of useful information such as the usual opening times at the various colleges. And there's a number of helpful maps. It does not at all neglect the logistics of touring the two towns. I think I found both my hotels from this book in 2005 and was pleased with both.
I've found it tells me almost all I need to know and gives a good education on Oxford and Cambridge. Yet, the guide is small in size, 7.6 x 4.4 x 0.6 inches. I found it easy to carry around as I walked about. And you will want to carry it around.
Do I need to say more? Well, yes. This guide is not easy to find in the U. S. And it can take a while for Amazon to deliver it (at least as I write this). So if you're traveling to England, order it well ahead of time. You'll be glad you did.
Product Description
London is the mother city of clubs. There are famous clubs in many other cities around the world, but they all owe a debt to those original clubs of St. James's Streetand Pall Mall; clubs which were designed to suit the life-style of the English gentleman; clubs which have played a significant roll in the social and political histroy of Britain. For those who have never stepped inside clubland's marble halls, there will be many revelations. For clubmen themselves, this is a volume to treasure.

Great Book.......2005-09-14
If you loved Sherlock Holmes, Around the World in Eighty Days, and just the thought of the old world of Gentlemen's clubs, then this book is for you.
Great photos and write ups of the clubs where the Empire worked.

Book Description
A witty and detailed map of Oxbridge, presented through an encyclopaedic treasure trove of facts, figures, and anecdotes.
"If Oxford were not the finest thing in England," wrote Henry James, "the case would be clearer for Cambridge." No other private institutions have had a greater impact on England's—and, at times, world—history, yet in different ways. Oxford has spawned more prime ministers, Cambridge more Nobel laureates. In Oxford, so it is said, things are brilliantly formulated; in Cambridge, they are seriously thought through.
Ever since the Victorian novelist William Thackeray invented a mythical "Oxbridge," these two very distinctive institutions have increasingly presented a common face to the world, a homogeneous elite whose sense of duty has been surpassed only by its self-confidence. For almost 800 years, the twin capitals of the intellectual life of England have radiated their influence across the globe: not just political leaders, but the best spies Communism could recruit; not just church leaders, but the great heretics and reformers; and writers, scientists, and scholars of every description.
Peter Sager roams through the idyllic gardens and courtyards of Oxbridge, uncovers the secrets that lie behind the college gates, and supports his literary journey with color photographs and maps, a glossary, a list of useful addresses, and a guide to further reading. Oxford & Cambridge is a unique combination of travel guide, history, biography, and psychoanalysis of two towns that are not just places but states of mind. 63 illustrations, 47 in color.

Hated to put it down.......2006-02-24
I am utterly fascinated by anything university and anything British. This book was the best of both. Oxford is one of my favorite places to visit in the world. The author is possessed of the requisite sardonic British humour and the information, as well as the entertainment, is nonstop. A must-read if you are at all interested in the subject.
