Ford Reviews

I'd have given it 6 stars if it had color photos. This is an indispensable reference for anyone interested in vintage Ford and Fordson farm tractors. Plenty of details and b/w photos illustrating the details of each model and a chronological listing of model year changes. This is the one I reach for for quick, accurate information. A wealth of historical data in an easy-to-use format. A great companion to Pripps' "Vintage Ford Tractors," this one can go with you to the tractor auction.

I have read this book and My girlfriend and I enjoyed trying all of the positions and ideas. It explains with being too eastern sounding. Can't praise this book enough.

This is an excellent book on inclusion! It touches on restructuring of schools, relationships, curriculum modification, behavior management, and an appendix full of additional resources. Good for any regular or special educator.

I have read a lot of "vanilla" books on the Internet and technology. This is the first book with some excitement to it and some very interesting issues addressed by these CTOs. A great book for both techies and business executives....

This is a splendid collection of pieces by the late Ford Lewis Battles, one of the 20th century's premier Calvin scholars. Battles was the translator of the Library of Christian Classics edition of Calvin's '1559 Institutes' as well as translator of his '1536 Institutes.'

The pieces here have been gathered from Battles' contributions to scholarly literature on Calvin over a number of years. The value of the collection is that it places these hard to find pieces together in one convenient place. The two introductory essays convey the scope of Battles' contributions as a Calvin scholar.

Two of the most important essays in the collection should be noted. One is Battles', 'Calculus Fidei' in which he puts forth his view of the structure of Calvin's overall theology. This piece will be one with which Calvin scholars will interact for years to come.

The second piece on 'Accommodation' conveys one of the most imporant interpretive aspects of Calvin's thought. It has been an important piece in the years since it was published in drawing attention to the principle of accommodation as an interpretive tool in Calvin's understanding of divine revelation.

Editor Benedetto has done a masterful job in assembling these pieces, providing the helpful Battles' diagrams and producing an important resource for Reformation scholars as well as scholars of Calvin.

Ford Battles was my teacher and was a Calvin scholar without peer. It is a pleasure to commend this book with the highest commendation.

Meet Ivory Bright (like the soap product she admits) a self-proclaimed original who wanders into a marriage of convenince if not one exactly of love and finds happiness in an unlikely setting with an highly unlikely husband.

The story of this young woman in pursuit and capture of Mr. Right is so touchingly told and beautifully detailed it takes several readings to get all of the nuances of Ms. Ford's writing.

The deposed housekeeper, former lady friend and the only spoken of late mother-in-law are just a few of the supporting characters who add the color to this endearing cast.

An economically written work that speaks eloquently to men and women on matters all of us confront.

Janice Meredith is one of my all time favorite books. I read this book over 30 years ago and would love to read it again. It was part of a school assignment. In the 8th grade Johnny Tremaine was a required reading assignment. Our class was given an assignment to read another historical novel also taking place during the American Revolution. The book Janice Meredith was one of the 20 books we could choose from (if we could find it). It was the only book on the list with a female central character and my local library had a copy of the book in their "old books" section.

The book begins with Janice and her family at home at the beginning of the Revolution. Janice's father is a troy, which means he was a support of the British. The male central character (whose name escapes me, but I'll refer to as Mark)was an indentured servant working for her father. He and Janice are friends, who eventually fall in love, but there are obstacles in the way. For one thing, he leaves the Meredith's family's service before his indenture period is over in order to join the Revolutionary army. Before he leaves he gives Janice a locket. Inside is a picture of a beautiful woman, who the reader and Janice eventually meet.

The book continues with Janice's adventures during the revolution. She meets "Mark" several times throughout the book. Janice also meets many well known historical figures along the way, including George & Martha Washington. "Mark" becomes an officer and is on General Washington's staff.

Janice meets the woman, whose picture is in the locket and is jealous. Eventually, she learns who the woman is. At one point Janice and "Mark" are engaged, but the engagement is broken. Janice's father is an active troy and he becomes a prisioner of the Revolutionary Army. Janice asks "Mark" for his help to save her father. He ends up doing something that could get him in serious trouble himself. He never tells Janice. Her father is free, but the engagement is broken. It is Martha & George Washington, who eventually tell Janice what "Mark" did to save her father and at what risk to himself.

I rate this book "5 star." As I said it is one of my all time favorite books, which I would love to read again. Even after 30 years I remember the book. This is a book for adults and one that parents can feel comfortable giving to a 13 year old to read.

THE CHOICE: DISCUSS OR PERISH

There has been books that started wars and there are books, the suppression of which led to world wars. This book was published in 1927 and suppressed, with good motives no doubt, in 1927. Not six years from its publication but six years from its removal from bookshops the world got a Hitler. Soon, it was not to be found anywhere except in two nations worlds apart, both of which found themselves involved in events that led to the worst war ever.

After the war, we got two blocks diametrically opposed in everything but not in attitude towards this book. It was collected and pulped in all four occupation zones in Europe.

Then, it remained unavailable on both sides of the iron curtain for the whole duration of the cold war. This of course made it an asset for fringe organizations of dubious quality and as if that were not dirty enough, infected and infiltrated, ranging from white-supra and clan to worse.

Whoever pretends disgust towards these extreme deformations owed to a minimum honesty ciriteria to bring into open discussion why books of a one like the Henry ord would not be published by legitimate and legal publishers throughout the cold war on both side of the iron curtain. Not one of enviable career has opened this discussion in fifty years.

Now, mankind must not be deprived of an alternative scenario - that had this book not been removed fro bookshops in 1927, a world scale discussion might be the worst to come in 1939-1945. And let us be divided on the issue of which might be better: a world discussion or a world war.

Grandpa Sergei Nilus in his unknown grave is atlast at peace and thankful to AmazonCom. In 1904 Grandpa saw that it was time to choose between discussion or world war and with that honest motive did the honest bishop publish the first document to start the discussion. He disappeared that year, Japan was financed agains Russia next year, his church, the once great Orthodox Church was crushed 13 years later, his most loved and hated fatherland was replaced by an opaque monster and the world had not one benefit from all these losses of Russia. Just the opposite. No country was left untouched by the following calamities. An extreme example: Australia and New Zealand lost five million adult population in that hurricane.

Now to why the Henry Ford published the document for discussion. Like during the American revolution when Jefferson wrote from Paris to America that the most important single event in Europe in the last few years has been publication of the Anacharsis book by the good Abbe, just so, after 1918 the most important single document appeared to be that recipee of horror.

Two million white Russian emigrants were saying so, the last resistance to the bolshewik plague, admiral Kolchak and General Vrangel were saying so, the German and Japanese intelligence sources who managed to escape from Russia were saying so. But the media in Western Europe and America was NOT saying so, was not mentioning the document, was not even saying it is not so.

That moment did the Henry Ford, and not alone, guess with whom! non other than Thomas Alva Edison, after weeks of deliberation around a camp fire, considering the issue from all sides foreseeable by best brains, decided that to open the document to discussion could not be worse than what was obviously coming if this issue was not discussed to exhaustion.

So, Henry Ford published it, with Thomas Edison on his side, the printer being powered through a shaft connected to a Ford tractor outside the building in Dearborn, Detroit.

No book shop would distribute it. 2000 Ford dealers had to do this. No nespaper would discuss it. And soon, whole weight of the law, as interpreted by some, the bigest ever compensation in the history of America or elsewhere,Henry Ford in his publication supposedly having insulted a Chicago Lawyer (not Irish), had to pay that lawyer the amount equivalet to the sale price of three thousand Ford Autos! That was about 1927 and that was when Henry Ford was given the choice: pay or stop your publication, destroy existing copies, call back the distribution.

It is not very honest to suppress this part of the story and to say, Ford family distanced itself from the book. That was abracadabra of pre-web tumoroid media - dead now but awaiting autopsy.

Sleep well Grandpa. The Web is with you.

This is an excellent translation, very well researched and footnoted, with an extensive bibliography. The editing work is flawless. Every detail is well done, including good paragraph breaks for easy flow, good fonting, and quality binding. It makes the full depth of these important sermons available in a very readable format.

This book obviously required years of tireless research and extensive resources. Mr. Levy has left no stone unturned in his efforts to provide every aspect of technical information to the prospective John Ford scholar
