Horrible formatting for the Kindle edition - Oxford University Press Edition
This is a review of the Kindle version of the Oxford University Press edition of this book. Far from the Madding CrowdThe book itself is fine.However, the font style and formatting used by the Oxford press is really unattractive, and there is no way to change the font style.You can change the size of the font but not the actual font style itself.It is a very old style and looks like something from the 1800s.I'm sure this was fine for printed books in the 1800s, but it looks horrible on a Kindle 2 screen in the 2000s.Come on Oxford, when you convert your books to an e-reader format, you need to put some thought into how the work will be displayed on e-readers.When given a choice, I always use the Oxford edition of classics, but for this book I switched over to the Penguin edition just because of the way the work is displayed on the Kindle 2 screen.Horrible job Oxford!

a mediocre classic
As classics go, Thomas Hardy's "Far From the Madding Crowd" is mediocre.That is, it is better than some.But not nearly as good as others.As is often the case with classics, the motives and emotions of the main characters aren't fully developed in a way that makes their actions understandable to the reader.As a result, they tend to be a little flat.

In this book, for instance, both Boldwood and Gabriel Oak persist in loving Bathsheba over the years, despite how she has treated them and despite knowing how badly she has treated the other.Both of them wish to marry her for the duration of the book even though there are no redeeming qualities in her that would make a normal, healthy man want to marry her (except for being beautiful, of course).Their mindless devotion to her made no sense to me.

The strength of this novel is in its plot and in the conflicts between the various characters.The narrator, also, was excellent and added much to the story.

All in all, I enjoyed this story for the classic that it is, but it is not one I will ever listen to again.

Great copy of a good novel
The norton critical edition was very useful for this novel.Having all the background about the novel as well as all the footnotes throughout the novel really aided me in my understanding of the novel.Without the information in these footnotes, the book would not have had the same meaning for me.The book itself was also very good, although a bit difficult to read.It was very interesting and it led me to a better understanding of the Victorian era and trials ordinary men at that time had to go through.A good read.

Great book, awful editing...
This is a wonderful classic for many reasons.But, I urge you not to read this edition, because the notes are terrible!There are notes for things that are obvious, and a lack for those things which need them.The worst offense, however, is that one of the notes (which readers are likely to check, as it gives background on a forgotten song sung by one of the main characters) gives away not only the important action of that short chapter, but also gives away the main line of the story.Awful, awful editing...

Forget the infamous "love triangle"...
In Far from the Madding Crowd, Thomas Hardy introduces us to the precarious "love square". At the core of all the turmoil is beautiful farm girl, Bathsheba Everdene - spirited, vain, intelligent and adept at toying with the hearts of men. Inevitably beguiled by her charms a humble and kind farmer, Gabriel Oak, fervently attempts to win Bathsheba's affections. Enter the competition: (suitor#2) Farmer Boldwood - a wealthy and temperate middle-aged man respected in the community, eventually plunges into maniacal obsession at the mere possibility of making the beloved Miss Everdene his wife; and (suitor#3) Sergeant Francis Troy - a dashing young philandering soldier, with his share of inner demons, ruthlessness and vanity, vies for Bathsheba's hand in marriage. Bathsheba's ultimate decision, and the cataclysm it evokes, lies at the epicenter of Hardy's unforgettable ambivalent story.

Far from the Madding Crowd, Thomas Hardy's fourth novel, saw publication in 1874 and earned him widespread popularity as a writer. A delicately woven tale of unrequited love and regret, set in the mid-19th century, Far From the Madding Crowd is a masterpiece of pure story-telling. Hardy's classic style is a pleasure to read as he masterfully brings his characters and their dealings to life. I would not hesitate to say it definitely captured my heart as another favourite. ...

Founded on the principles of the U.S. Constitution, Liberty for All USA / Liberty for All PAC is dedicated to spreading the message of individual liberty in contemporary America. Established in 2009 Liberty for All is a multi faceted poiltical endeavor consisting of publishing, internet radio, political commentary, Amazon Kindle Blogs, and Liberty for All Political Action Committee, a Montana PAC. LFA founders P.H. Rolen and Jason L Thomas are dedicated activists to the cause of individual liberty and seasoned veterans of the American political scene. Both veterans of the U.S. armed forces P.H. and Jason joined in late 2008 to write "Liberty for All: A Patriot's Primer." The primer is a grass roots oriented libertarian manifesto that addresses all the major issues in contemporary American politics. Using a combination of grass-roots activism and fresh, bold ideas "A Patriot's Primer"strives to rekindle the dream of the American founding fathers. We believe that every person has a right to the pursuit of their own happiness as an individual. We believe that freedom is our most precious right and it belongs to us inalienably, as a gift from our creator. Our Freedom is not something that was given to us by the government to be recalled at whim. At Liberty for All USA / Liberty for All PAC we are fighting to defend the rights secured by those who came before us. We Believe that it is time for the people to remember that our duly elected, republican government is not in charge. The bureaucrats in our nation and state capitols do not control us. Rather, they only wield a power that has been delegated to them by us; we the people. To quote President Reagan: “This is the issue… Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government, or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves. “ Liberty for All USA emphatically endorses the idea that we are the best planners of our own destiny. We work for you, regardless of party affiliation, against the rising tide of parentalist policies and increasing federal encroachment into your life. "There is a price we will not pay, there is a point beyond which they must not advance." At Liberty for All Reagan's words are our rallying cry. Your liberty is our passions call.

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: Mikko Niemi (born June 17, 1972 in Tampere, Finland is a retired Finnish professional ice hockey player. Niemi began his career at junior level icing for his local team Ilves Tampere at junior A SM-Liiga standard, the highest level of junior ice hockey. In his first season, 1989/90 he featured in 34 games, and helped out the offence with six points. This pushed Ilves into the post-season, where Niemi played on three occasions and also managing his first post-season point. Niemi was a cornerstone of the junior team, playing more than 60 times throughout the 1990/91 and 1991/92 seasons, again making the post-season in 1992 where he scored his first playoff goal. Niemi's chance at senior level came the following season, 1992/93. He alternated between the junior A standard and full SM-Liiga level and played 8 times for the full Ilves team, a significant achievement for a twenty year old defenceman. Part way through the 1992/93 season however, Niemi made a temporary move to FPS who played at the lower Mestis standard in Niemi's homeland. The defenceman coped well with the change and scored 5 points in 23 games at senior level as well as 3 points in 7 junior contests. For the start of the 1993/94 season, Niemi was an Ilves player and played on five occasions in the SM-Liiga. He was sent out to lower division teams again however in order to develop him as a player, this time icing for Hermes Kokkola and KooVee, another team from the city of Tampere. Niemi found himself as a regular player for both teams. His showings at the lower level again persuaded Ilves to recall...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=21091547 ... Read more

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Jonah Tali Lomu, né le 12 mai 1975 à Auckland, est un joueur de rugby à XV néo-zélandais. Il joue au poste d'ailier. Comme Tana Umaga, il commence par le rugby à XIII, puis il intègre l'équipe de Nouvelle-Zélande, les All Blacks en 1994. Arrivé sur la scène internationale du rugby à XV après le début de la « mondialisation » de ce sport - opérée par la création en 1987 de la Coupe du monde - Jonah Lomu est généralement considéré comme l'une des premières stars d'un sport jusqu'alors peu médiatisé, l'un des joueurs les plus intimidants sur le terrain en raison de son physique hors norme. Il a eu de ce fait un grand impact sur son sport. Il marque les esprits lors de la Coupe du monde de 1995 en Afrique du Sud en marquant sept essais en cinq matchs. À partir de ce moment-là, chaque apparition de Lomu est attendue par tous les observateurs et supporters. Il joue pour sept équipes dans le National Provincial Championship et le Super Rugby dont les Auckland Blues, les Waikato Chiefs ou plus tard les Wellington Lions et les Hurricanes.

Excerpt: Dame Anna Neagle, DBE (20 October 1904 3 June 1986) was a popular English stage and motion picture actress and singer. Neagle proved to be a box-office sensation in British films for over 25 years. She was noted for providing glamour and sophistication to war-torn London audiences with her lightweight musicals, comedies and historical dramas. She won several awards as Britain's favourite actress and biggest female box-office draw. Almost all of her films were produced and directed by Herbert Wilcox, whom she married in 1943. In her historical dramas, Neagle was renowned for her portrayals of real-life British heroines, including Nell Gwynn (Nell Gwynn, 1934), Queen Victoria (Victoria the Great, 1937, and Sixty Glorious Years, 1938) and Edith Cavell (Nurse Edith Cavell, 1939). Anna Neagle was born Florence Marjorie Robertson in Forest Gate, Essex (now Greater London), daughter to Herbert Robertson, a merchant navy captain, and his wife, the former Florence Neagle.

Extremely sparse
I find this book very sparse on information. It should not be sold for the price its is being offered at. Besides, it is a meret 40 pages of notes. The images offer nothing by way of conveying the radiance and luminosity of encaustic. That in itself is a huge disservice. The medium demands the showcasing of a broad range of work as well as the explication of step-by-step techniques. The title suggests a book that will be a compendium on encaustic painting, to have and cherish in ones studio, but it stops right there. I presume it may be helpful for students to have as basic studio notes (xeroxed) in a college setting. But not something that one would go out and buy. I was fooled by the name and the fact that I did nor read the reviews.

Very Disappointing
Not worth the money. Poorly designed, Not well written,Not many photos and the ones that are there are small. Save your money.

Small but everything you need
I asked my local library to request this book for me so I could get a look at it to see if I wanted a copy for my own.When the librarian read the description she thought it would be a good book for their collection.Because I requested it I was first to receive it when the book came in.I was surprised, first, by how small it is, only 40 pages, I never check things like that when ordering a book.I also should say that I have worked in encaustic for about a year now.I am delighted by this book.It is small but it has everything you need to either get started working with this medium or to add elements to your work like phototransfer.I would recommend to anyone interested in encaustic. ...

Product Description
This Audiofy audiobook chip packs a full 5 hour reading of "The Essential Dylan Thomas" on a tiny memory card. A single Audiofy audiobook chip, hardly larger than a stamp, holds a complete digital audiobook, and saves the last listening position automatically, unlike CDs. With an SD memory card slot or low-cost adapter - like those for digital cameras - this Audiofy audiobook chip can be played on Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh desktop computers or laptops (Microsoft Windows XP/2000/Me/98, or Apple Mac OS X 10.3.9 and above) or transferred to Apple iPod media players. Audiobook chips also move seamlessly to most Palm OS and Pocket PC handheld PDAs with SD expansion slots, as well as Treo and Windows Mobile "smartphones" (Palm OS 5.2 or Windows Mobile 2002 and above)... This varied, well-chosen selection brings into one set the best of Dylan Thomas. Here is the legendary recording of "Under Milk Wood," with Richard Burton and Richard Bebb as narrators; but here also are two radio productions he wrote before that great classic, and though interesting in their own right, they show how "Under Milk Wood" grew gradually in his imagination. Thomas was a charismatic if idiosyncratic performer of his own poetry and stories and here is a representative selection. Performances of Dylan Thomas have since moved on and the greatness of the writer as a poet and storyteller are perhaps best heard in new recordings by actors of our own time. Here Bebb, Madoc and Hughes share some of his finest, most challenging and endearing works. ... Read more
