In the book, the Orphan of Ellis Island by Elvira Woodruff, Dominic Cantori, a fifth grader, has somthing he doesn't want to tell. Since Dominic is a orphan, he doesn't want any one to know about his family. While on a class trip to the Museum of Ellis Island, a park ranger asks the kids about their families. Dominic runs away from the group and falls asleep in a nearby closet.
When Dominic wakes up, the museum is deserted and dark. Dominic is scared and picks up the exhibit phones, hoping that this will pass the time and help him forget his fears. He just talks to the recorded voices of immigrants, the people from far away places. Suddenly, an old italian immigrant joins in his conversation. Next thing he knows, Dominic goes back into the world of this old man, in the year 1908.
Dominic meets three kids. Their names are Fransesco, Salvatore, and Antonio Candiano. The three kids are orphan brothers and live in an Italian village in Avaletto, Italy. The kids do have shelter and a friend who is priest named Father Tomasso. The Candiano bothers also have a goat name Violetta. They pick lemons for money. These bothers accept Dominic as family.
The novel is unlike any other novel. The genre is definitely different, with historical fiction and some fantasy making it an adventurous and exciting novel to read.
Our group rates the book, The Orphan of Ellis Island, four out of five stars. we rate the book this because the climax is at the end of the book and the begining of the book is not as interesting as the ending. It is a very good book that once you start, you will never be able to put down.

This book from Elvira Wodruff is good. It tells you how poor people lived. You can see how they live. They had no family. Dominic is the main character. Dominic didn't knew who his family was. Dominic, he is Italian and his family, when he was a baby he never saw them, just as a baby. This story takes place in New York, Italy, and a little bit of Californien. They where at Ellis Island. Dominic was with his class there to look at a family tree. Dominic wasn't looking at the tree because he will never knew who his family was. But when he is falling a sleep he got a dream and going back the time, he saw his family there when they was young.
I would go to the library and get the book it's good. I would like it , that the book goes longer, it was just intresting the the book ends, I didn't like that.

The Orphan of Ellis Island really touched me. It made me realize, hey, my life isn’t so bad! I always loved time-travels! It’s just amazing how the concept of this book comes along. (See end of book) Such detail! Every time you read it you learn something new!

This title barely qualifies as a "telecom book", but sounded amusing enough, so thought that I would give it a try. I'm glad that I did.

Secrets of a Telephone Psychic turned out to be an amusing look inside the world of telephone psychics. Written by a veteran telephone "psychic", the book seems to confirm our worst fears... that people at the other end of psychic hotlines aren't really psychic!

This is not a journalistic expose' of the telephone psychic industry, but the personal account of one man who made his living as a telephone psychic for several years. Over time, he began comparing notes with fellow psychics and learned all the tricks of the trade. The author exposes himself as much as anyone else, and actually makes you feel some sort of empathy for the trials that these low-paid independent contractors are forced to go through.

Besides giving an overview of the industry in general, and an insight into the minds of telephone psychics themselves, the author also delves into psychological issues surrounding hotline callers. After answering thousands of phone calls, the author has been able to gain great insight into what type of people call these numbers, why they call them, when they call, why the general public is fascinated by them, etc. The book reveals just as much about psychic hotline callers and the general public as it does about the telephone psychic industry itself.

For anyone considering calling a psychic hotline, this book is a must. The chapter titled "How to Call a Psychic and Not Go Broke" should save you much more time and money than this book sells for.

For anyone considering becoming a telephone psychic, this book will reveal the sometimes dark world that you may be getting into, and provides tips on how to handle difficult situations. It isn't exactly a "how-to" guide for aspiring telephone psychics, but it comes darned close.

About the only downside of this book is the author's occasional meanderings into new age culture, psycho-babble and spirituality. If you are in to that kind of stuff, it may make the book more enjoyable. To me, it was just a temporary distraction from the rest of the story.

Overall, the book was extremely educational and enjoyable to read. The author's wry sense of humor is prevalent throughout the book, and his colorful stories are ones that you will end-up repeating to your friends. Carrying a cover price of only $$$, this book is a bargain. Well worth your time and money. I'd recommend it to anyone that is curious about the telephone psychic industry, or who just needs a good laugh.

I expected a major debunking of the whole tele psychic phenomenon, but this book made me take pause and reconsider the subject in a brand new light. In short I lost my cynicism and came away with a different opinion on the subject. What did I discover? The telephone psychic biz serves a genuine function in our culture; helping people access the mystical and magical side of life as an alternative approach to problem solving. I also developed a solid understanding of how astrology and the tarot work. And WHY they work. The author really knows his metaphysical subjects well and elaborates on them with just the right mix of knowledge, humor and psychological insight. Considering the topic, this is a smart, spunky and wry book -- not at all cynical -- and a real page turner to boot. Don't miss it!

This psychic expert lays bare *his* soul and invites you to contemplate the mysteries of the caller. On the ride, you'll be up at 2 AM with Mr. Woodruff, waiting for the next ring on the next page. Very funny, sometimes a little heartbreaking, Secrets of a Telephone Psychic reveals what it is like to call and what it is like to answer. The book shows Fortune working in the lives of the seekers *and* the oracle. It lets you in on the inner operations of telephone work. Plus, you get to listen to the gossip of just exactly what those eclectic callers want to tell their expert. Let me tell you, they don't hold back, and the author knows how to tell a story.

Someone Else's Child is the kind of book you live in for a little while. After reading the first few chapters, I attempted to go back to my reality but found it nearly impossible. I was stuck in Connecticut, in early summer, trying to sort through the pieces of my life. The narrative flows smoothly between the two main characters, Matt and Jennie, and I found myself frustrated at being allowed only a passive presence in this story. I wanted to act out, I wanted to change the course of events, I was angered and embittered...I was completely hooked.

The story has so many tangents that at times I was annoyed, almost skimming paragraphs to find what I was most interested in. However, Woodruff ties it neatly together midway through the book, and lets you figure some things out for yourself before confirming them in the final chapters.

Nancy Woodruff has written a piece of contemporary literature with an Oprah's Book Club accessibility. I did not falter in my reading of this book, but I did go back to read paragraphs that sang with prose. I read a lot, about a book a week, and rarely am I so engrossed that I miss my favorite TV shows. (Sad but true.) Many a night found me curled up on the couch, nearly eating this book until I was finished. It is a quick and delicious read, and a book I know I will go back to when I am temporarily bored of my existence. Highly recommended.

Nancy Woodruff spins a very good tale in her debut novel. In fact, she has a best seller on her hands until page 230, when an implausible plot line takes an abrupt turn south and crashes the story, the characters and the author's credibility. Woodruff's story begins with the Breeze family of Sheldrake, CT. Jennie Breeze has a pretty good life as a wife and mother in the tony suburbs. Her husband runs a landscaping business and their teen-age daughter, Tara, is making it through the difficult years with relative ease. As Tara's school year ends, the family is also awaiting a new addition, and unlike Tara, who was not planned and not expected, this baby is welcomed and wanted. When Jennie goes into labor, she insists that Tara be with her at the hospital, thus spoiling the girl's plans to go out with her two best friends and the 'new' boy in town, Matt Fallon. Tara's absence doesn't stop the three other kids from heading off to an unsupervised teen party. The girls get wasted, leaving driving duties to the ever-responsible, but inexperienced Matt. A horrific accident occurs when Matt's limited driving skills fail him, and Tara's two best friends are killed. Matt walks away, but is left with some very serious psychological wounds. When school lets out, no one enjoys the summer break. Jennie is suffering from the new baby blues. Her start-up business that plans high school reunions is not as organized as she would like, but she just can't seem to find the time or the energy to deal with the new baby and plan a party. Jennie's husband is headed into his busy time of the year and can offer little relief. Tara is inconsolable over the loss of her two best friends. Matt is ostracized by the community, who holds him responsible for the tragedy. Jennie knows something about being an outcast. She graduated valedictorian of her class, but wound up pregnant and married before she turned 19. Realizing Matt's situation, she offers him a job as her assistant for the summer months. Though tenuous at first, the boy and the woman work well together. Jennie has a lot of basic maternal instincts and a knack for knowing how to help Matt deal with his guilt. In turn, Matt gets Jennie organized for the summer's events and, with Jennie's care, he begins to find his way back from a self-imposed purgatory. Woodruff's debut was stunning until page 230, when she throws in what I think is a very inappropriate plot twist. Besides having an element of sheer surprise, the author raises issues that are just too complex to resolve before the story ends at page 256. I finished the book feeling ambushed, exhausted, and cheated out of a good story. Woodruff has a gift with prose and probably has a bright future as a writer. I just hope she's gotten the surprise element out of her system and settles into a more realistic style of plot development. Recommendation: Stop at page 229 and write your own ending!

Terry Matthews, Reviewer

I was swept away by this book; it puts you into the lives of the characters in a deep and profound way. I did not at all view it as a "light summer read", but rather as a purveyor of some deep and interesting truths.

So often our society villifies young people who've made a dreadful and tragic mistake, as Matt did. In this novel we can see from his point of view how ready he is to agree with the town, and how little he deserves that villification, and also how Jen is able to give him some small relief from that hatred and start him on a path of healing. At the end, however, the reader finds one, of several, reasons why the title is "Someone Else's Child". Jen's ultimate loyalty has to be to her own. And although, in using Jen and Matt as the two voices of the novel, the author keeps us a step removed from the horrific pain the parents of the dead girls feel, it is still acknowledged and woven thoroughly into the story.

As an inveterate reader, I highly recommend this book!

Cambridge companions are about philosophers and thinkers who have opened new and alternative ways of thinking in history of philosophy and have well established themselves in Western thought. Now there is no problem in writing about Husserl or anybody else in the history of philosophy from whatever vantage point one wants to; it can prove fruitful exercise. But when one claims to illuminate key historical figures for the student, one is responsible to illuminate the point of view from which its really justified at all to compile such a companion on the relevant philosopher. Using this book as a guide to Husserl would leave you wondering "well so what did this guy do all in all." Husserl as presented here is a philosophical logician of Russell variety, but seriously perplexed in his engagement with the problems, but with occassional insights in this or that subject. Well if this is what we should understand from Husserl, then he doesn't deserve a place in no companion to landmark philosophers. If he does he should be taken from the point of view of the tradition in which he has achieved his historical stature as the founder of the phenomenological school (which doesnt mean we should be uncritical and dogmatic)
The essays here deserve much better than two stars, some of them are very good quality. But the overall conception, being the kind of book its claimed to be, is very misleading.

"The Cambridge Companion to Husserl" is useful in the following ways. First it helps to somehow finish with the legend that the reason Husserl turned away from psychologism was because of Frege's review. Secondly there are very good essays on Husserl's phenomenology, particularly Jakko Hintikka's "The Phenomenological Dimension" which restores the role of phenomenology not as merely looking for noemas, but to refer and know the object itself, giving an account of the Husserlian difference between sense (meaning) and reference (object). Another good essay was Dallas Willard's "Knowledge" which accounts for the epistemological dimension of Husserl's phenomenology.

This anthology also accounts for Husserl's analytical philosophy. From these readings the best essay I could find was Kit Fine's "Part-whole", which deals with the often disregarded Husserlian doctrine of the part and whole in the third logical investigation. The other essay that seemed less interesting was Peter Simons' "Meaning and language". This essay has the defect of not taking into account the Husserlian difference between "states of affairs" and "situation of affairs" which leads him into many equivocal views on Husserl.

However, the worst essay in this anthology was Richard Tieszen's "Mathematics". This apparent authority in Husserlian doctrine on his philosophy of mathematics seems to ignore the Husserlian notions of "categorial intuition" and "categorial abstraction" which both are the way in which mathematical and logical objects are known. This is explained in Husserl's sixth investigation from sections 40-52 and sections 59 to 66. However, Tieszen seems to ignore this and attributes Husserlian mathematical epistemology to an unexplained way that we detect invariants from the flow of experience. Readers should take this into account when evaluating Tieszen's essay.

The Cambridge Companion to Husserl contains essays by various Husserl scholars who attempt to show the relevance of Husserl's ideas to many recent issues in philosophy. Barbosa says that I seem to ignore Husserl's ideas of categorial intuition and categorial abstraction and to characterize Husserlian mathematical epistemology in terms of detecting invariants in the flow of experience. Evidently Barbosa did not read the paper very carefully. Footnote 17 gives some examples of places to look in Husserl's writings for the view that ideal objects (including mathematical objects) are to be understood as invariants through the variations in our cognitive acts and processes. Many more citations to Husserl's works could be added to this footnote. In my paper I do not use the terms 'categorial intuition' and 'categorial abstraction'. So I am guilty of not using these terms but I am not guilty of failing to discuss the ideas of intuition and abstraction in mathematics. There are many technical Husserlian terms that I do not use in the paper. I do use the terms 'intuition' and 'abstraction'. In places where I use these terms and describe Husserl's views on mathematical intuition and the abstractions, idealizations and formalizations involved in mathematics, I also cite Husserl's texts on categorial intuition and categorial abstraction. An attentive reviewer would only need to see footnotes 16, 19 and 24. Open Husserl's Logical Investigations, for example, to sections 40-58 and read the Chapter title: Sensuous and Categorial Intuitions.

A review by Lacy

This book was about a group of boys named Levi, Jupiter and Possum. This story takes place back when slavery was a big issue, when the North and South were battling against one another. They were living in the north with Miss Amelia because they didn't want to have any part of the slavery. Levi always writes to his brother Austin who he doesn't see that often.

In this book there isn't just one plot there is a series of things going on in a lot of the letter there is a different topic and new things going on. Like when they were scared the bully was going to throw his dog into the river from the cliff and then the author starting talking about Levi having to take dance classes. I think that the author could have explained some areas better and put more detail in to what he was explaining. Some of the conflicts are expressed pretty well but some others really need some work on. I couldn't really follow a lot of the book because it was a hard book to get into. The length of this book was pretty fair. It probably should have been longer and add some more detail in it. I was happy when I finished the book; I thought it would never end. It was just so boring. The vocabulary of this book was easy to understand. I didn't have any trouble reading words but some of the sentence was confusing.

I would highly recommend you not to read this book. It is really hard to get into. This book was a very slow pace book. If you like being confused then I recommend this book to you but for the people like me who don't like being confused don't read the book.

Dear Austin, Right now Im out looking for Darcy, Juipters sister,Yesterday Black Rustlers stole her! Me and Jup have set out to find Darcy. Please don't worry while im out there. A body couldn't get nothin much don to him the wild. Don't worry Austin. I'll be saving y'all some letters as im out. Don't when i'll be sendin' 'em to ya'. Till then just stay come. Is how Levi talks to Austin thorough out the whole thing, in letters. AS they set out they meet the famous "Moses," a.k.a Hariet Truman. A black slave leader, the slave train, and suspence, history, and all around tightnes! I HIGHLY SUGGEST THIS TO READERS HOW LOVE TO READ! (of course.) And people how love to read about the stuf I like to read about, like this story. So go out and buy it!

I used this book with my fifth grade class. The author's ability to blend history, humor, and heart gave me just the story I was looking for to use on my unit about slavery.It totally hooked my students and I had to read much more each day than I had planned on!(They didn't want me to put it down!)I was also glad that the author didn't shy away from the truth and though the ending was hard it gave us a very moving and accurate description of the horrors of slavery- as much as a ten year old need digest. I would highly recommend this to both students and teachers, alike. M. Stevens

This book treats fiends mostly as average intelligence monsters with little in the way of "supernatural" powers. It is a pale shadow of the original 'fiends' presented in the 1st Ed. AD&D game. Since it is designed for the Ravenloft setting, many of the powers and abilities are difficult to translate into another setting. The limitations built into the creatures' make-up are part of the Ravenloft setting too -- again, it makes it difficult to translate it into another game setting. If you are looking for insights into the netherworld, this isn't it! If you are a Ravenloft fan, buy it if you must, but there are better resources available.

If you thought that TSR "toned down" the fiends because of religious pressure, think again! Even if you think you already have all the stats on fiends, this book adds some new diabolical powers, including possession! A fiend can even use your body to enter the Prime, sending your character hurtling into the Abyss in its place! The only disadvantage is that you'll need the Planescape Monstrous Compendium to make much use of it, as Van Richten is a Clueless and doesn't know the full stats for fiends

I recomend this source book for any DM who wishes to run a deamon in Ravenloft. This book will destroy all the preconceived notions you have about fiends; Van Richtan rewrites typical D&D cannon for a fresh revitalization of the traditional views of the Planscape-typical monster. These masters of darkness are unlike anything you have ever witnessed --- foes of awsome power with the power to tempt even the stoutest of heroes, the most faithfull priest, and the holiest of Paladins. No Ravenloft collection is complete without it!

If you are an artist who has turned to alcohol or drugs in your struggle with creativity, if you feel that being creativity requires you to be alienated and irresponsible, then this book is definitely for you. However, if you do not have any such problem, then half this book is for you. Wakefield has taken at least half the space in this work, or so it seems, to deal with the Dylan Thomases and the Ernest Hemingways of the artistic world who subscribe to the myth that an artist can not be at their best unless they are completely engulfed in misery. Wakefield, who himself had to deal with this tragic myth, shows how it is a total fallacy by contrasting these artists with others who are fulfilled, widely-accepted and seemingly content.

But this is not a critical work by any means. There is a very practical side to it as well. Wakefield draws upon the experiences of these fulfilled artists to get at the heart - or rather the spirit, as the title imples - of creativity. And not only artists, but people from all walks of life including clergy, atheletes, business executives and secretaries, who believe their lives are creative. And to Wakefield's credit, he steps out of the way and lets each of these tell their own personal story in their own words and reveal methods they use to unleash that mysterious well of energy residing deep inside each of us - our creativity. No doubt anyone trying to get in touch with their creative faculties will find this section of the work interesting to say the least and can regard it from that standpoint as a valuable resource

It is rather difficult to review Plato's Symposium from a modern viewpoint. The attempts by Agathon's guests, including Socrates, to define love are largely based on the love of boys rather than women. While that is a difficult concept for me to ponder, I recognize that such a social custom prevailed to some degree in ancient Athens and will attempt to offer an unbiased view of the text. Basically, partygoers celebrating Agathon's first victory in a drama contest decide to do something besides drink themselves into a stupor because they are still paying for such activity the night before. Socrates joins the group on this second night, and it is decided that each man in turn will offer his praises to love. Each of six men offer their interesting, diverse thoughts on the matter, ranging from the conventional to the Socratic ideal. Phaedrus says that the greatest good a boy can have is a gentle lover and that the greatest good a lover can have is a boy to love. He stresses self-sacrifice and virtue as the kind of love the gods love most. Pausanias describes two kinds of love: vulgar love is best explained as love for a woman in the interest of sexual satisfaction; noble love is that concerned with bettering the soul of the object of love (necessarily a young boy). The doctor Eryximachus explains love in terms of harmony, and he goes so far as to credit the vague notion of love with accomplishing all kinds of things in a diverse set of subjects. Aristophanes begins by relating a myth about man's origins. When man was created, individuals were actually attached back to back; the gods later split each human entity in half, and love consists of each person's search for his "missing half" who can be of either sex; even when two mates find one another, their love is imperfect because they cannot become literally attached as they were originally. Agathon says that Love is the youngest of the gods, that he offers the means by which all disputes between the gods and between men are settled, and emphasizes the beauty of love (represented quite well by himself, he seems to say).

Socrates, as can be expected, shifts the discussion of love to a higher plane. Claiming to know the art of love if nothing else, Socrates tells how he gained his knowledge from a fictional character called Diotima. He says that love represents the desire to give "birth in beauty," that love is neither a god or a mortal but is instead the messenger between god and man. To love is to want to acquire and possess the good forever and thus attain immortality. Socrates goes on to give a very important speech about one of Plato's perfect Forms--namely, the Form of Beauty. The advanced lover will learn to seek Beauty in its abstract form and will take no more notice of physical beauty; the perfect lover is a philosopher who can create virtue in its true form rather than produce mere images of virtue. This short summary in no way does justice to Socrates' speech, but it gives the general idea. After Socrates speaks, a drunken Alcibiades (Socrates' own beloved) crashes the party and commences to give a speech about Socrates, the effect of which is to identify Socrates as a lover who deceives others into loving him. As both lover and beloved, Socrates is seemingly held up by Plato as the true embodiment of love. To truly love is to be a philosopher.

I myself don't hold this text in as high regard as many intellectuals, but there can be no doubt of this dialogue's influence on Western thought over the centuries. The book succeeds in the presentation of advanced philosophical ideas and as literature. The discussion of the Form of Beauty is particularly useful in terms of understanding Platonic thought. It would seem that this dinner party and the speeches we read are very likely fictitious and represent Plato's thoughts much more closely than Socrates' own views, but it is impossible to tell to what extent this is true. The Symposium is inarguably one of Plato's most influential, most important texts and is required reading for anyone seriously interested in philosophy as it has existed and continues to exist in Western society.

I bought this textbook for my Classical Philosophy class (which was taught by William Placher - check his books out, they're awesome), and the Symposium really got me thinking about what love really is. What's cool about the work is that while each of the speeches make some great points, in the end they never really decide on a final answer, so it's still your call.

I liked the Symposium so much, that I decided to buy it as a gift for my friend. It was then that I realized how superior the Woodruff version is - other versions I found in bookstores featured commentary that was sometimes more than twice as long as the actual work! In this version, on the other hand, the introduction is short but informative - therefore you're not paying extra to hear some other guy give his two cents on Plato's work, when Plato's words themselves are really all you're interested in.

Relative to 3 previous reviews focusing on Kevin "Canadian' Howell's statement on Pg. 29 I can only say the following; Whether or not he was a sniper with 3rd. Force is irrelevant to the content of this account of a fierce battle. I cannot or will not speculate as to why Canadian made this statement.
I fought in the hole (such as it was) next to the author.
Anyone who doubts either the veracity or factual narrative from those of us who were there is sorely mistaken. This book is an account of what happened THAT NIGHT and that night only!!
Mark's first book UNHERALDED VICTORY took years to write and was meticulously researched. The Foreword was written by the 32nd CMC
Ge. Jim Jones, our CO on the Ridge. Gen Jones, now Supreme Allied Commander, Europe(NATO) was also interviewed for "FOXTROT
RIDGE" and a final manuscript, before going to press was submitted for his approval.
The passage of time and the ferocity of this battle can dull memory, but I can assure everyone, and those of us who were there
will tell you that this is a great book.

Mark Woodruff has composed a work that chronicles as accurately as humanly as possible a night that changed lives forever. 13 U.S.Marines are still dead. 44 of us still have a Purple Heart, and the families of over 230 North Vietnamese soldiers will never see their loved ones.
Great job, 'Ruff' and Semper Fi
Kevin

This book brought back alot of memories, good and bad. There were several incidents that I had forgotten but after reading the book it jogged my memory.
I think Mark Woodruff did an excellent job in putting this book together. Each word that I had said to Mark was put into print.
In the thirteen months that I was in Vietnam it will always be this one day that I remember.
Thanks, Mark for your dedication and esprit de corps.

I read the book with personal interest. I was a member of 2nd plt fox co 2/3 on 28 May 1968. I was on the crows nest or the OP as some of us called it. The description of the general battle is accurate. Keep in mind that memories are not as fresh as they were 30 some years ago. Each in our own way contributed to the effort and attempted to keep our participation accurate. It is a excellent effort to record our time in vietnam and one of the many battles. Mark tells the truth as relayed to him from the survivors memories.

This book is very disapointing. There are many misspellings, and too many formal words, and it is not at all exciting. It dosent get any better towards the end, either. It is a load of crap.

The book was one of the best I have ever read. It is about a kid how wants to do something magnificent he makes a mummy for a school project. The mummy has powers and it can do tons of stuff.

Andy Manetti has an average life. His brother, Jason, is perfect. Andy is only average. One day he goes on a field trip to a museum. He sees a mummy, feels weird and then somehow gets strange powers. I liked this book because it had many plot twists and a great plot at that! Read this book. You'll love it!
