Method in Theology
Bernard Lonergan

University of Toronto Press, 1990

blew my mind
This book was introduced to me 14 years ago, in an undergrad theology class called, "Struggle and Transcendence" (at Georgetown). The class looked at the African-American experience and sought solutions to the concrete problem of living in that community and the ...
  
  











  



  
A Concise Anglo-Saxon dictionary (MART: The Medieval Academy Reprints for Teaching)
J.R. Clark-Hall

University of Toronto Press, 1984

Some Clarification on the Thorn/Eth Issue
I haven't anything to add to these reviews, except to offer some clarification on this dictionary's exclusive use of "eth" (ð) and never "thorn" (þ). Several reviewers have complained about this as a defect in the dictionary, so it is worth pointing out that in Old ...
  
  











  



  
Williams Hebrew Syntax
Ronald J. Williams, John C. Beckman

University of Toronto Press, 2007

More than I Expected
This is more than I expected to get for my money. Beckman has done Ronald J. Williams' "Outline of Hebrew Syntax" a great service by expanding the material by Williams, offering copious references to other grammars of biblical Hebrew, explaining grammatical jargon of ...
  
  











  



  
Pleyn Delit: Medieval Cookery for Modern Cooks
Constance B. Hieatt, Brenda Hosington, ...

University of Toronto Press, 1996

Excellent resource for those interested in medieval food..
This was my very first medieval-food book. To my amazement, it actually works well as a "mundane" cookbook too. The recipes are presented with the primary source they come from first (translated if the source isn't in at least somewhat-recognizable English), with a ...

Bernard Lonergan

University of Toronto Press, 1992

shared love of wisdom
If somebody loves you authentically so much so that you become better person than before, you can't help loving him dearly. It happens. And it can happen even through a book! In this incredable book called "insight", you are invited to a wonderland of a higly ...

The written ...
  
  











  



  
Wagner and the Wonder of Art: An Introduction to Die Meistersinger
M. Owen Lee

University of Toronto Press, 2007

Richard Wagner’s Die Meistersinger has always called forth superlatives from those who have fallen under its spell. Toscanini wanted to lay his baton down for the last time only after he had conducted a performance of it. Paderewski called it ‘the greatest work of genius ever achieved by any artist in any field of human endeavour.’ H.L. Mencken ...

The orality/literacy debate and McLuhan's media theory

Narratology: Introduction to the Theory of Narrative
Mieke Bal

University of Toronto Press, 1997

An excellent introduction to the formalist approach
This book is an excellent introduction to the formalist approach literary criticism. In formalist approaches, the text is analyzed according to the form it takes and the way discourse is constructed. It is a text-centered approach as opposed to a reader-centered ...
  
  











  



  
The Rebels: A Brotherhood of Outlaw Bikers
Daniel R. Wolf

University of Toronto Press, 2000

Best book I've read so far on the subject
I have ridden for 30 years. I grew up in Oakland California, and I worked in motorcycle shops in Berkeley California so I know something of the outlaw culture from being around one of the centers. This is the best book on outlaw culture I have ever read if being ...

The Thesis and the Book: A Guide for First-Time Academic Authors

University of Toronto Press, 2003

The academic caveat Publish or Perish is not a new one, and for over a quarter of a century, The Thesis and the Book has come to the aid of graduate students in their quest for publication. The doctoral dissertation, usually the first book-length study completed by a scholar, is, however, only rarely publishable as a book. Understanding the ...

The Bias of Communication
Harold A. Innis

University of Toronto Press, 1999

Innis is a powerful experience
I find everything I read by Harold Innis deeply thought provoking. Even when he quotes what I feel are wrong headed observations by Marcel Granet or Winston Churchill on character based langauges where I feel his conjectures reflect the fact he had never experienced ...
