Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass (Barnes & Noble Classics)
Lewis Carroll
Barnes & Noble Classics, 2003
"Curiouser and curiouser!"
My first exposure to Lewis Carroll's classic children's story was through the 1951 Disney film adaptation "Alice in Wonderland," which I watched repeatedly as a child. The creative quality of the story never failed to fascinate me, and I kept going back despite my ...

The Annotated Alice: The Definitive Edition
Lewis Carroll
W. W. Norton & Company, 1999
Finally a âaetranslationâ of Alice for the masses
I remember my frustrations with reading âaeAliceâ when I was young. Apparently it was an interesting story about animals and weird things and so on, but very quickly my reading stumbled onto nonsense verses and things so strange I donâ(tm)t know what to make of them. ...

Institutes of the Christian Religion (2 Volume Set)
John Calvin
Westminster John Knox Press, 1960
Calvin is the best personal theological trainer I have ever found. Don't listen to the naysayers!
What can I tell you? John Calvin helped me get my spiritual compass pointing north again! He got the flab and plaque out of my man-centered doctrine and whipped it into God and Christ-honoring shape! Reading his 'Institutes' was like getting a top-flight ...

Computer Science Illuminated
Nell Dale, John Lewis
Jones & Bartlett Publishers, 2006
A great "CS 0" text
I am currently using this text for the fifth time in my survey course for non-majors. It does exactly what I want it to do: it gives the students a feel for each of the topics with just enough depth to be rigorous for non-majors without being overwhelming. It's not ...

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass (Penguin Classics)
Lewis Carroll
Penguin Classics, 2003
pay no attention to the fool below me
I was shocked when i saw that the Alice books got 3 stars. these are literary classics , the two most complicated "children books" with many levels of interpretation. I know people have different tastes but this deserved an overall score of at least four.

Alice's Adventures In Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass
Lewis Carroll
Chartwell Books, 2008
How can you not like Alice?
I don't understand the negative reviews.
Alice is an inquisitive, and very brave girl, who observes the world around her, and attempts to understand what is happening and how to handle it. Perhaps drug induced, but also the way a child might view the world and ...

A Long Hard Winter!
The title to the New York Times book review of "The Cold War: A New History" is called "Look Back in Relief" written by Michael Beschloss.

Watch For The Light: Readings For Advent And Christmas
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, John Donne, ...
Orbis Books, 2004
Loved it!!
I love that this series, including "Bread and Wine:Readings for Lent and Easter," because it challeneges our complacent culture-dictated experience of Advent and Easter. This is not a feel-good book, it is a faith-building book. Be prepared to be shaken up and for God ...

Gramercy, 1995
...down the rabbit hole
This book is really for the person who is really into Carroll and will read through all of his works. It's a thick volume and is useful to me, but this is because i am writing a book so i'm probably not the best judge since i have to read all of the collected works.
