Product Description
Hall and Mercer's text is intended for schools that want a single book covering the standard topics from elementary algebra through intermediate algebra. The text is fully integrated, rather than being simply the joining of two, separate texts. Topics are organized not following the historical pattern, but by using as the guiding principles, the AMATYC standards as outlined in Crossroads in Mathematics. BEGINNING AND INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA: THE LANGUAGE AND SYMBOLISM OF MATHEMATICS is oriented toward recent reforms in college level mathematics curricula. ... Read more

The book I have been looking for around 5 years!
He makes the argument that the Old South, its finest intellectual hour seen in Thornwell, was much superior intellectually than the North. By the way, this is published by the scholarly Mercer University Press, so it ain't no hick from the sticks writing.

Thornwell also warned of the coming religious crisis, that which we call the Civil War. While criticizing unbiblical aspects of Southern slavery, he primarily warned against the rising humanistic and unitarian tide from the North which would overwhelm the South, not only militarily, but also--and more deadly--spiritually.

If I can restate the thesis in different terms: with the fall of the Confederacy, we saw the last bastion of a thoroughly Christian civilization destroyed.America would move from a decentralized republic to a consolidated Empire (which subsequent decades proved chillingly).

Outstanding!
Dr. Farmer proves himself to be an expert on his subject matter. He developes his themes superbly and keeps his reader interested and involved.An excellent display of talent and knowledge! ... Read more

Mercer was also a founding member, secretary and general counsel of the Ohio Company of Virginia, a land speculating company that had George Washington as a member. His private library consisted of between 1500 and 1800 volumes. Did legal work for George Washington land deals as a down payment as a partner, died owing Washington the balance of partnership.

Chapters: Lenny Mclean, David Prowse, Roy Shaw, Delroy Mcqueen, Julian Creus, David Mercer, James Halliday, Tony Ford. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 40. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Leonard John "Lenny" McLean (9 April 1949 28 July 1998), also known as "The Guv'nor", was a famed East End of London bareknuckle fighter, bouncer, former criminal and prisoner, author, businessman, bodyguard, enforcer, weightlifter, television presenter, and actor; McLean was often referred to as "the hardest man in Britain". McLean made his name in the late 1960s and remained famous in the 1970s through to the mid 1980s. McLean stated that he had been involved in between 2,000 to 3,000 fights in his life on the streets or "cobbles", in pubs and clubs and in the ring. Many consider him the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world in the sphere of unlicensed boxing. However, there are some critics who claim McLean was nothing more than a self-promoting bully whose victories were embellished. These people are generally those he beat like Roy Shaw and those he fell out with like his second cousin, the famous boxing promoter Frank Warren, who went from boasting of McLean's impressive unlicensed boxing record to questioning it, and calling him "a terrible bully". Adding to McLean's strongman image was his famed weightlifting ability (he supposedly bench pressed 500 pounds). McLean gained an international tough guy reputation after knocking out John McCormack, reputedly the Mafia's hardest man, in under three minutes in New York City in the early 1980s. Well known throughout the London criminal underworld, McLean was a much respected and feared figure, often associated with such figures as the Kray twins, Ronnie Biggs, Ronnie Knight, Dave Courtney and Charles Bronson. He was also well known around ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=911356 ... Read more
