"The Girl in White Armor" is the abridged version of Paine's much larger two volume work "Joan of Arc-Maid of France". While lacking some of the detail of the larger work (among other things a complete translation of the trial) it is still a very well written and well researched book about one of the greatest(perhaps THE greatest) individuals to ever live. ....................................... Although between the two the larger work is the better choice, I highly recommend "The Girl in White Armor" to anyone, especially younger readers, who want to learn more about Joan of Arc. I consider myself fortunate to have both of the above named works by this author, who spent several years in France doing research and tracing the footsteps of the Maid. He brings understanding, compassion, honesty and love to the story of Joan of Arc.

I was only a girl when I read it. And I have searched many years for this wonderful book, So I could read it again. I never was able to find it. Good Luck....

This is the best collection of photos I have seen on the now drowned Glen Canyon. Unlike some other books covering the area, this collection was clearly taken by a professional photographer. These pictures could easily be mistaken for Ansel Adams and I believe Mr. Nichols lists him as a big influence on his work. If you are like me and a lover of canyon country, it will definitely make you a little wistful thinking that this area has been lost--probably irretrievably. I just wish there were a comparable collection of color photos of Glen Canyon to supplement this wonderful work.

Anyone will find the pictures breathtaking. If you have an interest in the southwest rivers and canyons you will especially enjoy this book. If you are interested in seeing what they stole from us by the construction of Glen Canyon Dam then this book is required reading. Hayduke lives!

I highly recommend this book to anyone, even those with no interest at all in falconry. The author is so skilled and talented that I'd say that he could write an entertaining piece about paint drying. Enjoy!!

Mr. White describes his experiences with training a goshawk for falconry. He has no guidance beyond an ancient manuscript and things go horribly awry. An outstanding book, a pleasure to read. Also an example of why current US regulations require a falconry apprenticeship period.

Mr. Tolles has reached a perfect balance of scholarly research and easy reading in a "coffee-table book" format. As someone who lives in the area with a strong interest in Tolles' subject matter (I own the annex building to the Sunset Hill House hotel) I can also vouch for the accuracy of what he has written.
A wonderful book, beautifully presented, highly readable and visually involving. Anyone with a love of history, architecture, romance, travel, or their ancestors is sure to enjoy it as much as I and my guests do.

This well-researched and informative book about the grand resort hotels of the White Mountains is simply one of those books which you add with pride to your library collection. It shows the hotel's importance in the architectural and social historical realm of New England and American history. It is full of andedotes on the hotel industry and is a vastly entertaining social picture. The book is full of many illustrations of present and long-gone hotels, 200 b&w and a number of color plates. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in the hospitality history of this country, and the importance in the realm of things that the hotel places. Dr. Tolles have expertly brought this subject to life and I commend him for it.

Ricky Lax is PURE comedical genius! THIS IS A MUST HAVE!!

I've performed magic my entire life, but have never seen a magic book like this. Some of the jokes are fairly technical in nature, but if you are a magician or know anything about magic or know someone who knows someone who knows anything about magic, you'll love it.

A collectible book with many excellent black & white photos from many different artists. Very sensual

BRILLIANT COLLECTION OF EMERGING ARTITISTS WORKS! A must if you enjoy B&W photography! Adam Slater has done a superb job of collecting unknown works. I look foward to his next edition!

I spent most of yesterday afternoon reading Doug Riston's Great White Duck Hunter, I laughed so hard, I nearly ripped the stiches off my hernia operation. The work is an insightfull, thought provoking novel. A joy to read.

The Great White Duck Hunter is reminiscent of Ken Kesey's novel, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, in the relationship between the two main characters, Riston's Norman Powers & Angela Nicoletti juxtaposed with Kesey's R.P. McMurphy & Nurse Ratched. Norman Powers, despite his drinking and slightly seedy notions of romance, is a hero. Powers is a free-spirited creative soul seeking recognition, if not approval, in the antiseptic, domineering world of his live-in girlfriend, Angela. Angela Nicoletti, like Nurse Ratched, obsessed with cleanliness and order, is determined to squash the bohemian spirit of Norman. In the hysterical scene where the "great white duck hunt" actually transpires, Norman's tenacity can be best described by McMurphy's philosophy "But I tried didn't I, God-damn it. At least I did that." I enjoyed this book immensely, the characters are real, people that you meet sitting next to you on a barstool, or watching the ducks in the park.

This 72 page paperback book is a very valuble resorce.It can be used by begginers and produce excelant results. It uses not only standerd instructions on sturgeon fishing but throws in helpfull hints and even a few resepies for some tasty dishes.Even if you dont fish much this book contains indepth stories on survival (from a first person veiw). This book is very imformative and helpful. L.Adams

This book combines humorous cartoons, photos, and possibly life saving safety tips for sturgeon fishing on the Columbia River, but the advice should be relevant for any angler and the cartoons are worth the price of admission! Any fisherman should enjoy it, even if they don't fish for these monsters. R. C. Hammond

Greg Miller's writing is sure to inspire even the most seasoned veterans of the deer woods. Spending the last 20 or more years studying the link between big buck travel patterns and rub-lines, Miller is able to communicate his findings and strategies in a clear,concise manner. With the insights gained from Rub-Line Secrets, hunters will be better able to locate and to analyze rubs left by individual mature bucks. Most importantly, Miller relates effective rub-line hunting strategies to specific time periods throughout the season.

Greg Miller has done it again with his latest book Rub-Line Secrets. Once again he gives the reader insights into big buck behavior that will increase their chance at getting that shot of a lifetime. Miller explored the topic of rublines in his book Aggressive Whitetail Hunting, but delves more deeply into the mystery of rub lines in his latest book.

Back in the early 80's Miller first began to notice that deer rubs were more than just random places where bucks rubed the velvet from their antlers. He began to notice, through countless hours of scouting, observation and hunting, that bucks used rubs to mark travel routes and that you could in fact find rub-lines, or a series of rubs that when connected together with an imaginary line create a line from a definate point A to a definate point B.

Miller describes how, by deciphering rub-lines, you can determine a bucks prefered travel route. He also describes how you can tell which time of day a buck is using a rub line that runs either to or from a feeding area. This is invaluable information for any hunter who wants to increase there chances at taking a quality buck.

In just a few hours of reading you can learn what it took this accomplished hunter years to discover -- rub-lines hold the key to harvesting a trophy whitetail.

This is a fantastic book! In only 87 pages, he touches on almost all aspects of grief. I am particulary impressed with his candid honesty.

Grief is messy and doesn't come in neat packages. He allows the reader his or her mess and offers simple, small steps towards recovery. I especially appreciate his candor when he says, 'God is big enough to handle your anger and your probing.' Because the truth of the matter is that, in death, we become angry over the loss and void we feel.

With that said, I want to leave you with a quote from his book! 'The more vital a part of our life that person was, the more deeply we will feel the loss, and the longer it will take to transition from what was to what is.'

I understand this so completely! When my grandmother died, I missed her but she wasnt a part of my every waking moment. When my daughter died, it was as though I had died. It was as though a part of me withered away and it has been nearly four years. I am still working through the loss. Yes, it has gotten easier, but it is still a part of me.
