Hammer's German Grammar and Usage (Hodder Arnold Publication)
Customer Reviews [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-09-03 Summary: Wow ... My wife and I have been trying to self-teach ourselves German for years, and we still have absolutely no clue about the intricacies of the language. When do you use what gender? How do ab_en verbs work again? And conjugation- it's a mess. Until you pick up Hammer's German Grammar and Usage. There's so much in here that's left completely out of other books. I'm quite fluent in German alcohol, but I never realized that there's such a simple pattern to the gender (der everything, except for das Bier). These simple facts ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-03 Summary: Prima! ... This book is absolutely amazing! I have taken German for about three years in college and two in graduate school. All of those "exceptions" to the rule are explained in detail with plenty of examples. I recommend this book to anyone wanting to master the language, teach, or to the intermediate to advanced student. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-09-12 Summary: Hammer's German Grammar and Usage ... An excellent reference for beginning, intermediate, and advanced German speakers. Explanations are clear and thorough. I should have purchased this book years ago! ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-04-28 Summary: The Book I Want On A Desert Island ... This is hands-down the single book I would want to have if stranded on a desert island. Words cannot describe the awesomeness that is this book. Mr. Durrell's masterpiece demands superlatives. As far as printed material goes, this is all you need to go from intermediate to fluent in German. (Of course you still need to practice speaking, listening, and writing to become fluent). I am a U.S. citizen now living in Germany, and this book vastly improved my German. I can't say enough about it. Get it! Keep a copy next ...more

The Hammer of Darkness
Customer Reviews [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-06-20 Summary: Great book ... i read this originaly when i was younger and happened to find it again a definate good read. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-07-11 Summary: One of his best novels! ... The Hammer of Darkness is one of Modesitt's best novels. It's also one of the hardest to read and understand. It was about the third time I read the book before I realized that everything is written in the present tense. Modesitt also doesn't take the time to explain the broken dialog, the half thoughts of the characters, nor does he provide background for the characters. As a result I think many will find the narrative confusing and difficult to get through. I first purchased this novel back in 1985 or 1986. I've ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-06-26 Summary: Personal Favorite ... This book was either the first or one of the first I'd read of Modesitt's back around 1989-1990. I remember reading it once and thinking it was good...and then re-reading it and everything just sort of clicked. I remember doing atypical things as a College Student (in those days) and going to the trouble to buy another copy just to give to a friend to encourage him to read it - at the time, buying versus merely loaning was a "big thing". This story isn't Recluce although it's clearly in the same universe as all of ...more

Customer Reviews [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2005-08-05 Summary: The Grand Old Party ... This is a first-rate history of the Communist Party and its fellow-travelers in Alabama during the depression. It describes the Party during the "third period" and the popular front era. While it does not discuss the ulterior motives of the Party in any great detail, it does help to establish the positive role of the Communists in the prehistory of the civil rights movement. It also gives glimpses of the life in the Party in Alabama including Communist songs sung to the tune of spirituals, and African-American Young ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2000-12-17 Summary: A powerful venture in American history ... Kelley has produced a powerful and startling history of the deep south in the 1930s. He tackles a difficult subject both historically and ideologically (the relationship between poor black sharecroppers and the American Communist party). His tireless efforts at writing this book shine out of the pages unquestionably as does his deep, thoughtful intelligence. I would recommend this book for anyone interested in subversive U.S. history or just in a good read. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 1999-02-15 Summary: Excellent. HIghly Infoormative and Insightfuul. ... This book is great, it undermines the conventional treatments of afro-american history and although it is focused in the south it takes a genuine look at the struggle to free the shackles from Afro-americans and lift the blanket of opressions. ...more
Editorial Reviews ... Product Description | Between 1929 and 1941, the Communist Party organized and led a radical, militantly antiracist movement in Alabama—the center of Party activity in the Depression South. Hammer and Hoe documents the efforts of the Alabama Communist Party and its allies to secure racial, economic, and political reforms. Sensitive to the complexities of gender, race, culture and class without compromising the political narrative, Robin Kelley illustrates one of the most unique and least understood radical...more

[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2007-12-28 Summary: Good Collection of HAMMER'S SLAMMERS stories ... VOLUME TWO of THE COMPLETE HAMMER'S SLAMMERS is a good collection of novella sized stories, mostly from the late-80's. Following are individual reviews of each of the main stories: AT ANY PRICE (1985) **** - A breakthru story for its day... Military SciFi, with aliens. Drake's combat action dialog is hard to follow at times in this story, but still worth it. COUNTING THE COST (1987) *** - A Company of Hammer's Slammers (a spaceborne Mercenary Regiment) gets mixed up in the wranglings of a backwater world in political ...more
