| Product DescriptionThis translation makes available nineteen orations by the fourth-century Cappadocian father Gregory of Nazianzus. Most are appearing here in English for the first time. These homilies span all the phases of Gregory’s ecclesiastical career, beginning with his service as a parish priest assisting his father, the elder Gregory, in his hometown of Nazianzus in the early 360s, to his stormy tenure as bishop of Constantinople from 379 to 381, to his subsequent return to Nazianzus and role as interim caretaker of his home church (382-83). Composed in a variety of rhetorical formats such as the lalia and encomium, the sermons treat topics that range from the purely theological to the deeply personal. Up until now, Gregory has been known primarily for his contributions as a theologian, indifferent to the social and political concerns that consumed his friend Basil. This view will change. It has been due in large measure to the interests and prejudices of the nineteenth-century editors who excluded the sermons translated here from the Select Library of Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the Church. This new translation will help the English-speaking reader appreciate just how deeply Gregory was engaged in the social and political issues of his day. Exemplifying the perfect synthesis of classical and Christian paideia, these homilies will be required reading for anyone interested in late antiquity. The introduction and notes accompanying the translation will assist both the specialist and the general reader as they seek to navigate the complex environment in which Gregory lived and worked.

| Product DescriptionFew prospects are as frightening to graduate school candidates as taking the GRE. Ironically, most preparation guides only cover half of what students need to know to earn a top score on the exam. To ace the GRE, students must master far more than the requisite concepts in math, reading and writing; they must learn the tricks of the test writers, who tend to ask the same types of questions, with the same types of traps and pitfalls, on every exam. This publication addresses the second half of the equation, by "teaching the test" in an efficient and practical manner. It presents targeted strategies for each section of the GRE, along with dozens of relevant examples. Readers will learn the sneaky ways that test writers try to confuse students and distract them from the correct answer choices. They will learn practical (and manageable) ways to learn new vocabulary words and conquer tough math problems. Most importantly, they will learn how to exploit the predictability of the GRE, which makes it a surprisingly learnable test. For many students, the GRE is the greatest obstacle they will face in the graduate school admissions process. With so much at stake, they must work smarter (rather than harder), to earn a top score. This savvy publication shows them how.

| Product DescriptionRiders of the Purple Sage, Grey's best-known bestseller, is a thrilling saga set on the Utah–Arizona border country that features a despicable villain and a straight-shootin’ hero in a tale of passion, rivalry, and revenge. In The Trail Driver, the heroine is disguised as a boy while a cast of hard-bitten, weather-beaten characters drive 4,000 cattle north out of Texas, braving the weather, marauding outlaws, and hostile Indians along the way. Rangers of the Lone Star features Texas Ranger Russ Sittell working undercover on a ranch to break a rustling ring, a dangerous assignment made all the more hazardous by the fact that the ranch owner is the local mayor. These three epic tales represent a wonderful way for Western fans familiar with Zane Grey’s work to drift back into his stories of life on the range but are equally attractive for newcomers who would like to sample a little of life in the wild west.

| This edition is full of errors, mistakes, and typosDO NOT BUY THIS EDITION!! It is full of typos, missing information in problems, mislabeled diagrams, and wrong answers! I spoke with PR and they said that, yes, indeed that is correct, but the 2002 edition has been corrected. Can you imagine what I went through while studying? I was second guessing myself left and right. I finally realized that, no, I do what I'm doing, it's the book that was wrong.Please don't buy this 2000 edition, it is a waste of your time and money. The 2002 edition ought to be much better, and probably quite a good study guide. I, however, have not seen it and do not know for sure, but PR should be a fairly respectable test prep. company. Happy GREs...hahaha
