The Society Portrait: From David to Warhol
Gabriel Badea-Päun
Vendome Press
, 2007
Five stars are not enough.
This is one of those few books that exceeded my expectations. This is a book an artist will appreciate. All the images are in color, very well done color. The publishers were not afraid to cross the gutter to show off the paintings. There are numerous paintings ...

Jesus The Egyptian is a revolutionary attempt to examine the origins of Christianity as historical artifacts and not theological ones.

Plato's
Symposium

Center for Hellenic Studies

In his Symposium , Plato crafted a set of speeches in praise of love that has influenced writers and artists from antiquity to the present. Early Christian writers read the dialogue's 'ascent passage' as a vision of the soul's journey to heaven. Ficino's commentary on the Symposium inspired poets and artists throughout Renaissance Europe and ...
Subotai the Valiant: Genghis Khan's Greatest General
Richard A. Gabriel
Praeger Publishers
, 2004
GREATEST GENERAL? MAYBE. GREATEST BIO? NO.
Subotai the Valiant was also Subotai the "Violent," who even by 13th century standards was brutally vicious in the slaughter of tens of thousands of noncombatant victims. Many of whom he arbitrarily slew just because he could. Gabriel relates some of these atrocities ...
Genghis Khan's Greatest General: Subotai the Valiant
Richard A. Gabriel
University of Oklahoma Press
, 2006
Loved It
Unfortunately little information is available from that era as to Subotai the man. As a subordinate, the scribes of the Royal Court would have naturally spent most of their historical writings (accurate or exaggerated) about the Khans themselves more than their ...

Outstanding biography of ancient military leader with lessons to still be applied today

John Gabriel Stedman
The Johns Hopkins University Press
, 1992
This abridgement of the Prices' acclaimed 1988 critical edition is based on Stedman's original, handwritten manuscript, which offers a portrait at considerable variance with the 1796 classic. The unexpurgated text, presented here with extensive notes and commentary, constitutes one of the richest and most evocative accounts ever written of ...
Clinical Acupuncture: Scientific Basis
Springer
, 2001
The Science of Acupuncture
This is a useful adjunct to the pocket text by Stux and Pomerantz, but does not stand alone as a text for acupuncture. I would recommend it as a secondary text for those who already have one of the standard clinical texts, such as Deadman or Macciocia.
Gabriel Marcel : 3 Plays (A Man of God, Ariadne, The Votive Candle)
Gabriel Marcel
Mermaid Dramabook
, 1965
Gabriel Marcel is a master of subtle examinations of conscience, of deceit, of crises in the bourgeois milieu he has chosen to dramatize. Departig from the usual line of classical French dramaturgy, where characters desire to know, these fascinating plays are preoccupied with their characters' passionate desire to be known. Included in this ...
