Mr. Cardoza's hit the spot. He's in good company with the likes of Dan Poynter and Marie Kiefer in providing specific, easy to understand information on publishing and marketing. What makes this book really  appealing is his way of explaining the details for different options and  then offering professional tips on which choices would fit the individual  needs of a small publisher. He answered my questions, has given me  direction and kept me motivated as a newcomer in this field.

I hope that we can get a reprint of this book.  I am assisting someone with research and found this in my local library, but it's under lock and key.  If I couldn't view the book at my local library, I think I'd have difficulty getting a copy through inter-library loan.  I'd love to add a copy to my personal library.

It's an excellent resource on Jewish populations in the major cities.  The author includes maps and histories of different families, which provides a good balance of historical narrative and graphics for contextual visualization.  While there is a focus on Jewish individuals and their families with Dutch background, it's very useful to understand the history of early Jewish communities in the United States, as a whole.  Not only does it have a lot of information, the back is loaded with other resources by chapter, so if you are looking for additional information, the book points you to a many other equally useful resources.

"Common Ground" is an excellent resource I'm frequently referring to in sharing about the Orthodox Church to Christian friends.  Not just an introduction to Orthodoxy, the book raises issues all Christians need to contemplate.  Valuable also for those within the communion of the Orthodox Church.  Highly recommended.

Looking at Fr. Jordan's footnotes, the only critical question I would ask is, if nearly all his positive references and definitions of genuine, ancient Christianity come from canonical Orthodox sources, why isn't he (and his independent congregation) in the communion of the canonical Orthodox Church?

But don't let that criticism stop you from getting this book.  It is a most helpful resource, especially if you are in or attending an Orthodox Church, where it becomes not just theory but "rubber meets the road" praxis.

Lots of great topics to discuss with growing boys! I'm glad he has this source of information to refer back to when questions arise. This book has opened up lots of good conversations in our home.

By a stroke of luck, I found, through one of Amazon's sellers, a clean used copy with just a few minor dings.  In a short time, this volume has proved to be a fabulous reference.  The entries are long enough to provide context and biblical citations, but not so long as to get bogged down with TMI.  And there are topics I never would have thought to follow up on, which I now can, right within this volume.  Adele Berlin and her staff have done such an excellent job of creating a single, go-to reference for most purposes.  Although I am a seminary graduate (and know where to go for further study), I'm sure any intelligent reader can follow these entries and gain deeper insight - and relevant cites.  Hope this stays in print (with updated versions) for a long time!

John Vanek has provided a great resource for both those already engaged in the issue of human trafficking and those seeking to become engaged.  He did it clearly and concisely, providing current information and dispelling myths.  I especially liked his recommendation about taking time before becoming involved, finding out what is happening in own ones area as well as the needs, and the traits and abilities that are valuable for an abolitionist.  In my experience individuals often hear about human trafficking, become passionate about it, and jump in without a commitment to learn about the complexity of the issue and the necessity of being a life-long learner.  John Vanek's experience and those of the contributors have provided a great resource.

Duhigg did a great service here by synthesizing an enormous collection of scientific and case studies to give us not only a clear picture of current understanding in this area but also a bit of a history of the study of habits.  He reveals the findings through specific case studies, people we get to know as they struggle with their behavior patterns and try to explain them, that bring the concepts home in ways that will strike a familiar note for everyone.  Great new tome on brain science --- please keep them coming, Mr. Duhigg!  By the way -- read the acknowledgements and and marvel at the number of references he researched and authorities he consulted.  Bravo!

A great resource, written well. Much of the content can be found on the author's blog or in his podcasts (and I highly recommend the podcast), but having it in one accessible place is great. Get this book and discuss it with a friend.

This is an outstanding resource & information book!  Not only is it well written, but the author clearly brings to light a subject which is often kept in the dark.  Absolutely relevant and definitive information, well researched.  If you or someone you know suffers from this condition, I highly recommend getting this book!  As a frequent visitor to nail salons I have seen & heard many stories about the difficulty in getting rid of these fungi. As salons are a major contributor to fungi infections, I bought the book to keep informed in the hopes I do not contract any fungal diseases. I was very impressed with the coverage and depth of the subject and the remedies offered, both for prevention & cure.  I especially like the author's idea of taking my own implements to the salon for the technician to use - great idea!  You won't regret buying this book - excellent!!  It's a keeper!

An excellent review of recent scholarship about clergy sexual misconduct, this resource is a highly recommended, especially for novice to this topic. As a primary reference, academics and practitioners alike find credible information from leading authorities. Understanding this psycho-social malaise advances movement beyond identification of "villains" and "victims" to comprehensive preventive education for individuals, couples, and religious institutions.

Ruth Richardson really knows her subject.  I've been using this book as a primary source for a paper I'm writing.  Along with being a very valuable resource, it also makes for very enjoyable reading.
