I had the pleasure of having Mary at Western Illinois University for several classes while I was studying Special Education. her book is just as amazing as she is. It is a great way for teachers and schools to be more aware of gangs in school. I have used it on several occasions in my own school. I recommend this book to any school to keep close to them.

I had to read this one twice. You must read it slow, like a chapter at a time. It is so full of deep information about God that you miss so much the first time. Phillip clearly sees the path God takes as he works with us alone. All his books are about us and God alone. I plan to read them all several times.

Gene Kloss Etchings is a superbly presented and memorable collection of impressive black-and-white art pieces by Taos, New Mexico-based artist Gene Kloss showcasing the spirit of the southwest, -- especially its Native American cultural traditions. Moving images enhanced with brief yet thoughtful commentary by the artist's poet husband Phillips Kloss fill this pages of this spellbinding and enthusiastically recommended artbook from cover to cover.

Specialist books such as this are few and far between. It is a good thing then, that this book is by no means a let down in any department. It contains concise and factual information about the genus Cypripedium, ranging from cultural details, to taxonomic and nomenclatural discussion, and including information on the distribution and relative rarity of the species the genus encompasses. The photography and art presented within is of fantastic quality, and helps to complete a very thorough and admiral work covering these North American and Pan-European gems. Superlatives abound.

There are few references that cover the Species Pleione. This covers the species in depth. The illustrations are excellent. Ian Butterfields experience of growing them is invaluable

This is the only book I have ever seen over the Solitario. This collapsed dome has represntitive strata from most of the geologically significant areas of Texas. This book is a treasure trove of information and comes with very informative full sized maps of the solitario.

I began reading this book after I had read many of George MacDonald's books that were edited by Michael Phillips. The book does an excellent job of explaining life events that influenced MacDonald's writings and relating those life events to the books George MacDonald wrote during those times. Familiarity with the books has helped me relate more to his life. Having read this book, I have a MUCH better understanding of George MacDonald, his relationships with family members and his faith in God. It makes me appreciate his books even more.

This is the "must have" edition of George Washington's Rules of Civility. Beautifully bound in leather and richly illustrated by 18th Century period prints, this brief, 128 page, 8.25 by 5.25 inch, handsome work fits easily in your coat pocket or brief case. This attractive book is the perfect gift for every young person and adult alike whether they are a casual leisure reader, a student, or a scholar; no one will be diappointed. This edition will be enjoyed and appreciated at every level of reader interest. Each rule has been written as Washington himself recorded the maxim. The editor's stated intent being to retain the feel of Colonial America. Each rule is numbered consecutively and presented in over-sized type. If the reader chooses to read more deeply he or she will be richly rewarded and discover an excellant example of careful scholarly research. The edtitor has reached back to the very origin of the Rules of Civility in 1595. He makes it possible to trace the development of the Rules of Civility over 300 years thereby placing Washington and Colonial America within its own rich historical context. By presenting each rule with its earlier texts it is possible for the reader to discover the evolution of each rule for him or herself. Under each numbered rule is printed its earlier version as it appeared in previous centuries. Where the rule was printed in French it is recordered here in the original middle French and then carefully translated into English. The work is well documented. I give this edition the highest possible recommendation to all readers.

Oxford University Press has done it again! This book is an absolutely wonderful compilation of Gerard Manley Hopkins' poetry, letters, and prose. With all of his poems (including fragments of poems), as well as letters and spiritual writings related to his conversion and his joining of the Jesuit order, this book not only gives the reader a wonderful selection of his work, but also an interesting insight into the life of Fr. Gerard Manley Hopkins. I would recommend this master of sprung verse to all.

This book is incredible, from beginning to end.This is a must have book for readers of all ages. This book deals with every aspect of life and the afterlife.
