These are the complete, authentic Soncino Talmud translations for most of the major tractates in the Talmud -- essentially the complete works on civil and criminal law, along with tractates on the Sabbath, on prayer, and on various other subjects.  In addition, it has the Hebrew/Aramaic text of _all_ the tractates in the talmud, in .pdf files; quotes from these can be cut and pasted into MSWord (if you have Hebrew fonts) and thence into other word processing programs.  Plus the Hebrew of Rashi's commentary.

The Soncino translation may not compare to Steinsaltz's, but Steinsaltz's is far more incomplete than the portion of the Soncino presented here.

Learning talmud by solitary reading of an English translation is almost impossible, and the Talmud cannot be used as a reference for halacha (Jewish law); but to look up or quote textual references, or just as an opportunity to look at the text, this is a nice option to have.

This new version of Webster's Work on the Roman Invasion of Britain includes the latest fieldwork and is for the serious researcher as well as the student who just wants to get smarter quickly.  The well written prose, unobtrusive references, clear maps, crisp line drawings and extensive Appendixes make this a top shelf addition to your library.  The photographic plates, while in Black and white, are clear and supplement the text.  You should get this, even if you have an earlier edition, for the revisions and corrections are worth the paltry cover price.

Excellent and thorough work. The exercises, examples, figures and applied mathematics sections are all put together well to ensure a cohesive and comprehensive text.  Yes, I do agree that using another resource, in addition, is a good idea when approaching calculus.  But as far as calculus textbooks go, this is top shelf.

Great reference work for all of us budding authors. Oli has put in the hard yards and now shares his results and his methods with us. Well written -- an easy and interesting read, Oli Hille knows what he's talking about -- his results and success 'speak volumes'. Highly recommended.

GREAT REFERENCE WORK.  MANY MORE SUCH REFERENCE BOOKS SHOULD BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR HIGH SCHOOL, COLLEGE, AND UNIVERSITY POST GRADUATE STUDENTS.

This book arrived quickly and in excellent condition.  It is a wonderful resource, so much so that I did not sell it back after my class was over.  It will remain a part of my reference library.

Great reference on each boat; where/when built, who commanded when, when/where lost and cause, etc.  It's really a reference work, not a novel type book.

A great reference book from a well-respected designer and professor. There is a newer edition of this book, but this remains relevant.

Dr. Huehnergard's book is not a light read. Nor is it truly a grammer of Akkadian (if you want to learn Akkadian, I would recommend, without reservation, Dr. Huenergard's other work "A Grammer of Akkadian"). It is, however, an outstanding work of scholarship and a work I would recommend to anyone who has already learned Akkadian.

This book examines all of the ancient texts written in the ancient city of Ugarit that the author is aware of. These texts are then compared to contemporary Akkadian texts from the rest of the ancient Near East in regards to their orthography (the characters used to write the texts), phonology (sound changes), morhpology (the parts of speech: nouns, pronouns, adjectives, etc.) and syntax (how clauses and sentances are constructed from the different parts of speech). The author then draws conclusions regarding the similarities and differences between the Akkadian used in all of these various texts.

The book contains a list of the texts considered and where they are published. The bibliography lists more than a hundred books and journal articles that are relevent and is almost worth the cost of the book by itself.

In short, this is an excellent, if very scholarly, work. It is clearly written for specialists in the field rather than a general reader.

A wonderful work. Very detailed and comprehensive. Can be viewed as a reference book but is very fun to simply read straight through.
