I first read this around 1967, when I was 10 years old. I remember it quite fondly. It felt very real, read very smoothly, and the pictures were amazing, if a little gory. I strongly recommend this book for young readers. I'm completely impartial, too. My mother and grandmother were the co-authors! :)

Superbly illustrated by Gustaff Tenggren, and collaboratively retold by Emma Gelders Stern and Barbara Lindsay, King Arthur And The Knights Of The Round Table is an informative and thoroughly entertaining retelling of the classic legends of King Arthur and Camelot for young adult readers. Filled with museum quality, stylized full-color artwork, King Arthur And The Knights Of The Round Table presents the whole course of King Arthur's life, and those of his allies and enemies, in skillfully narrated, straightforward prose immediately accessible to young people of intermediate reading skill and above. King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table is enthusiastically recommended for personal, school, and community library Mythology & Folklore collections.

I bought this book four years ago, and found the recommendations very helpful. It's nothing drastic, really, it does not require dieting, being hungry, or depriving oneself. I lived by the principles of the book ever since, and without any dieting or even trying to lose weight I lost about (you guessed it!) five pounds. Just recently I reread the book, once I noticed that my bathroom scale shows a slightly higher number than I'm used to seeing. It put me in the right frame of mind again, and helped to start "thinking thin" again. The book is a collection of very sound advise, and I am planning to reread it occasionally, when I begin thinking that I can "get away" with eating high-fat foods and not exercising. The book is also very well written and makes an easy and interesting reading. I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who ever felt frustrated with their inability to control their weight, who ever was tired of the vicious circle of dieting, bingeing, gaining, losing, stepping on the scale three times a day. Give yourself freedom!

A friend of mine bought Jamie Pope's book and the two of us decided to use her healthy approach to eating for two weeks. There was no deprivation or tricky menus. We were never hungry and continued to lose weight slowly and steadily. In two and a half months I lost 18 pounds and she lost 13. We loved the recipes. They were simple to prepare, tasty and varied day to day for two weeks. Now, at our ideal weight we are maintaining by cooking and eating low fat healthy menus. After many years of yo-yo dieting, this is an approach the makes sense andworks. We are both thrilled with the results! Give it a try.

Once you get passed the fact that this book has no author and simply and editor, then perhaps you can pay attention to the teachings within.

First off....I am not a huge fan of spiritual books . Growing up having preachers quote the bible to justify just about any attrocity {forgive my spelling}, tainted my view of spiritual scriptures. I am however a huge fan of philosophy. Though this book is prophetic (and a crazy one at that.....Christ coming back in a spaceship crazy} its philosophy well worth exploring. It encompases all religions and I believe gets to the heart of who we are and why we are here. It is written in lamens terms and does not babble endlessly in obscurity which one often finds when reading both philosophy and spiritual books. Hey.....i was a disenchanted youth who sat around, smoked pot and shunned the rest of the world for its cruelty. If this book can reach the most distant burnout, I guarantee you will thank yourself for reading it.....if only you can find it....and if you do let me know....and please pass it on to a friend.

This is the only book that contains everything one needs to know about sub sonic wind tunnel. For students doing a project or a course in experimental fluid mechanics, or those whose work involve aerodynamics, this will be a good reference. Anyone who has been through fluid mechanics courses during their undergraduate years know the importance of wind tunnel testing. This book covers topics from wind tunnel designs, to measurements, boundary corrections, testing procedures and the nonaeronautical applications of wind tunnel.
However, as wind tunnel is initialy design and most widely use in the study of aeronautics, one needs to have some knowledge in aerodynamics in order to fully understand and appreciate this book.

The original is the one book everyone in the wind tunnel test area had open on their desk. It covered everything from overall theory of aerodynamic testing to details of wind tunnel design. The revision brings it up to date with use of computers and digital test gear.

I cannot believe how my son is reading! I bought him the first 8 books for Christmas and by New Years he had read all but one - on his own! He'd rather books than movies!

Meet Jack and Annie. Jack is an eight year old boy who seeks adventure. In every trip, Jack takes notes to learn more interesting facts. He carries his little backpack almost everywhere with his useful supplies inside. Annie is Jack's little sister. Annie is just one year younger than Jack. These two siblings have great times together in many different places. Annie is a sweet, honest, considerate girl who looks up to Jack.

Jack and Annie go lots of places, in lots of different times, helping others in their time, in the present and in the past. For example, in another book, in the same series (Magic Tree House Series) I read a book about Jack and Annie with George Washington! That was a long time ago!

Afternoon on the Amazon is an exciting book about Jack and Annie who try to help Morgan le Fay by finding four special things. (Everything they find starts with "M".) In the tree house, every time, they climb up the ladder, look for their trusty friend, Peanut the mouse, and point to a picture in a book while wishing to go there. The tree house starts to spin, spin, and spin faster until they appear in a tree in the place they wish to go. In the rain forest, Jack and Annie have trouble with the following animals: a mother cheetah, a crocodile, a monkey, an army of ants, piranhas and a snake. But in the end, Jack and Annie find out that the animals were just being themselves, with the monkey just trying to be helpful.

My favorite part of the book is when Jack is trying to stop their boat, and he accidentally snatched a snake. It really shakes up the story. Jack and Annie try to push the boat fast and duck their heads. They safely escaped, scared to death!

This is a very exciting book. In every book (from the Magic Tree House series) behind the cover, it says good things about the author and her books. By reading her books you can see if you think these words are right. I personally think this book matches what the people say. I recommend Mary Pope Osborne's books to everyone!

Many users of sieves are not getting good results and they don't know it. In addition, the results from the sieve analysis are treated as being absolutely true when sieves are subject to menay sources of error. This book gives all of the dos and don't involved in performing a sieve analysis and in interpreting the results. Anyone using sieve analysis needs to study this book to make sure they understand how to get reasonable results and to make sure they don't assign more "truth" to the sieve analysis results than is deserved.

A little dry but that is the nature of the beast isn't it? Great book on a subject that has very little information available. You need this book if you are working with particle size in any way.

I found this work to be an extremely thorough examination of Pope John Paul II's views, thoughts and teachings that helps shapes contemporary Catholic thinking.

Antoine Nachef has a true vision into the Catholic faith, this book has incredible insight into the philosophy of Pope John Paul II and his ministry, it is an excellent read and only superlatives can adequately describe this magnificant work. As a former student of Nachef I have read all of his works and they are wonderful and Mary's Pope is no exception, an essential read for the faithful Christian.

I was subjected to the MMPI and it's interpretations while attempting to maintain equal parenting time of my son. After my attorney ignored repeated requests for the results, I fired him, and have since represented myself.

Knowledge is Power. This book provides a "survey course" that will help pro per litigants. After reading it, I knew more about the MMPI than my lawyer.

In a court of law, you should be able to ask the forensic psychologist, "Sir, was the MMPI designed to evaluate parental ability"? Of course, the answer is, "No". But in family court, Rules of Evidence do not apply. If you memorize this book, you will be able to take apart any forensic psychologist.

Good Luck,

I am a medical librarian. Although this is not my area of expertise, I thought the book contained some good explanations and warnings. I did make a correction that I wish to share with other readers in case someone might choose to use Harold Klawans' otherwise excellent description of what is considered medical literature, which is quoted in chapter 8. "Index Medicus" is put together by the National Library of Medicine, not the Library of Congress.

This book is perfection! It is a dreamy and exhilarating combination of beautifully evocative artwork and imaginative, spare, yet poetic text. A little girl rocking on the front porch with her dad one starry summer night wishes on a star and the constellation Pegasus comes to life as a huge white horse with powerful milk-white wings and a flying mane and takes her on an adventure through the constellations. The atmosphere of the darkness, the whispy night clouds, the stars and the stillness completely transports one. The balance between the magical fantasy of the moonhorse and the natural and grounded personality of the child combine in a subtle way to make this fantastic journey happily believable. This book will become a favorite. Don't miss it!

It seems that I often go through my child's books and think, great story but illustrations are mediocre at best - or brilliant artwork for an odd story. Moonhorse is absolutely the most beautifully compatible blend of imaginative work of author and artist. To read this book is to recall a mysterious, yet delightful dream of my 1950's early childhood. I want to know how Pope Osborne and Saelig came together to do this and will they do 1,000 more?

This book is great for all ages.This 119 page book is filled with lots of information from everyday life to egyptian religion. this book talks about the pyramids, funerals,and the most famous mummy of all king Tutankhamun better known as king Tut. If you have children you should buy this book.

jack and Annie made a guide about their research on mummies and pyramids. I leared girls & boys in anincent egipt wore their hair in a ponytail called sidelocks. when people were making a mummy.they didn't know what a mummy's brain was for....so they took it out and got rid of it!gross! I can wait to get MAGIC TREE HOUSE research guide#4 PIRATES.
