In Reformation Women, Rebecca Vandoodewaard introduces listeners to 12 16th-century women who are not as well known today as contemporaries like Katie Luther and Lady Jane Grey. Providing an example to Christians today of strong service to Christ and his church, these influential, godly women were devoted to Reformation truth, in many cases provided support for their husbands, practiced hospitality, and stewarded their intellectual abilities.

Good but biased

Insightful, if not sycophantic. It dripped with Protestant superiority that made even this Protestant roll his eyes. Still, these are women who should be studied and appreciated. Their stories should be told, as this book attempted to do. All the same, A more leveled approach in the telling would have been appreciated.

A revelation for Moby-Dick devotees and neophytes alike, Ahab's Rolling Sea is a chronological journey through the natural history of Melville's novel. From white whales to whale intelligence, giant squids, barnacles, albatross, and sharks, Richard J. King examines what Melville knew from his own experiences and the sources available to a reader in the mid-1800s, exploring how and why Melville might have twisted what was known to serve his fiction.

A thorough yet easy to read book about ecology and Moby Dick. If you like either, this is the book for you.
