Buy This Book
This an awsome collection snippets from the life & times in the Black Hills aroung the 1870's.Written is a way that you feel like you are reading the author's diary.Deadwood was a great HBO series and this book really fills in the blanks.It is a suprise how much pain the early pioneers endured heading west (and how the American Indians were take advantage of!).

Pioneer Days in the Black Hills is the real deal
This man gives a real account of the real Deadwood and the events of the gold rush.Nothing is made up nor did he embelish.How refreshing.While reading it in the Black Hills, I am in awe of some of the places he describes.Though the topography has changed a bit, its fun to go see where the events happened. Some happy, some sad. Stories about the Sioux and Lakota Indians adds interest.

I would highly recommend this book for true facts of Wild Bill, Calamity Jane and Deadwood gold rush days

After seeing the HBO special about Deadwood I was interested in getting some factual data. This book provided insight and drama to a part of history above and beyond what a HBO special could provide. The historical accounts of people, places and gold give the reader something to chew on while contemplating what it would be like in the American past. SASS members would love the book also. ...

High-level thinking on solving the World's problems
The "Uniting of Nations" is immediately provocative with its cover depicting a "World Government", whose department of trade is already present in the form of the WTO, but is as yet lacking all the other departments. Such is the ambition of this book; it really explores at the highest-level the shared need of all the citizens of this planet for strong governance on certain issues on a global-level.

The first part of the book attempts to diagnose the problem, by exploring examples of failed governance in the developing world. In particular it compares the benefits of sharing of sovereignty in the European Union, with the collection of nation states that is the United Nations.

Then in the second part of the book, the author explores various scenarios for improving global governance, such as expanding successful organisations like the EU to non-European countries. In the third part the conclusion is drawn that the best solution is a "Global Union of Democracies".

Whether you agree with the author's conclusion or not, the power of the book is the insightful exploration of different options for a better solution to global governance than we have at present. The discussion clearly draws from the author's, (John McClintock), experience working in and dealing with international organisations, and living in different parts of the world, it also demonstrates a deep level of thought that he has given to the subject.

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:Apocryphal books (dxnxpuxTio, see note) means hidden books ; as a secondary meaning, spurious books. The present meaning is books pretending to be inspired, but not admitted into the Canon. Roman Catholics consider them to be inspired.E. Interpretation.—All the studies that have been named heretofore, are preparatory to the task of getting at the meaning of the Sacred Scriptures. This task is the function of the science called Interpretation, or Hermeneutics, from Ipiveuca As to the principle of Interpretation, it is to be remarked:1. That the general principles on which any writings would be interpreted are applicable here, and the general principles are embraced in what is called " General Hermeneutics."2. That the special character of the sacred writings, as sacred, gives rise to additional principles of interpretation, belonging to what is called "Sacred Hermeneutics."a. When we seek the sense of Scripture simplyby the aid of Philology and Grammatical Criticism, our interpretation is called " Grammatical."Religion, which has been very favorably received in North America. This Treatise on the Canon is avowedly compiled from the previous labors of the most eminent critics, especially Bishop Cosin'-s 'Scholastic History of the Canon of the Old Testament,' and the ample collections of the impartial and indefatigable Dr. Lardner and the learned Jeremiah Jones. The first part of Dr. Alexander's treatise discusses the Canon of the Old Testament. In the second part are considered the Canon of the New Testament, and the reasons for which the Apocryphal Books are deservedly rejected from the sacred Canon. To divines and students (especially in North America), who may not have access to numerous and more costly works, this treatise is a very useful and acceptable pres... ... Read more
