I teach english in Japan and this book is great for my younger students. It has tracing, and writing for beginners, as well as pages for coloring and association exercises.

Good action and dialogue, plus authentic settings in British Columbia and the San Juan Islands. This series enchanted my grandchildren, and delighted me. It's full of tension, fun, sibling rivalry, and authenticity. And it's wholesome. While it's true that author Jan Pierson is my sister, it's also true that she did an outstanding job with this series of short but excellent adventures set in my beloved Pacific Northwest.

I was enjoying this book. I like Sir John Appleby. Michael Innes's mysteries are sophisticated and quirky. Anyway, it was pretty good, then I got to the ending and wow! What a surprise! I had to give it 5 stars.

Appleby's neighbor, Carl Carson, has a loopy wife and lots of money troubles. He decides the only way out of his problems is to arrange for the kidnapping of his son. One problem--He doesn't have a son.

If you've never read an Appleby book, this might not be the best place to start, but it's still great.

This is a great book! It is full of wonderful ideas...I recommend it to anyone looking for something new for their classroom. I have always been pleased with Carson Dellosa items and books and this one is great too.

This book is good! "Buy it", says me. Read the book, liked the book, recomending the book.

Lieutenant-Colonel William R. Corson USMC (Retired) is without a doubt one of the finest and most respected military minds in the nation. Colonel Corson passed away a few years ago but this book is a living testimony to his military genius. A combat Marine in World War II, Korea and Vietnam...the author also had a B.B.A, M.A.,and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Chicago and the American University.

Colonel Corson has written a devastating book. In it he carefully explains how mismanagement, self-deception and corruption caused the failure of the American military effort in Vietnam. Before retiring from the Marine Corps, the author worked with both senior Pentagon officials and top White House advisors. This well-written and insightful book is an honest appraisal of a complicated subject by a special Marine officer with great vision.

Richard Reynolds actually gets into the heads of two crazy people and lets the reader follow them on their adventures. You are prepared to hate them after the first chapter which is from the point of view of the victim's friends. Then, as we accompany them on their flight from justice and enter their minds, we find ourselves seduced into liking them and actually rooting for them. Such is the power of this book.

This is a book of the streets and the people who inhabit them. It's a book of punk rockers, welfare mothers, Golden Gate Park, pot farms, nomads crashing in abandoned cabins, and murder. Suzan and Michael are pot dealers (and smokers) who are high on their own insanity. They see themselves as Moslem assassins and their lives as a holy war against "Witches" and other "infidels."

Richard Reynolds becomes Suzan and Michael as does the reader. How many times have you become somebody else? How often has it been someone repellant and still you loved the experience? Highly recommended

It's good stuff, take a look!

"Milestones in Black American History" is a 16-volume exploration of the black experience from ancient Egypt to the present day, with each volume focusing on a specific period of African-American history. "Days of Sorrow, Years of Glory," focuses on the pivotal period in the history of the United States between the slave revolt led by Nat Turner in southeastern Virginia in 1813 and the passage of the controversial Fugitive Slave Act by the U.S. Congress as part of the Great Compromise of 1850. Timothy J. Paulson effectively contrasts the story of bondage in slavery for millions of African-Americans with the efforts of free blacks who produced an impressive array of industrial inventions, novels, music, sermons, newspapers, and political oratory. Paulson covers racist violence in the North, the foundation of the American Anti-Slavery Society, the murder of Elijah P. Lovejoy, the black bandmaster Frank Johnson, the Battle of Lockahatchee between the U.S. Army and a black-Seminole army, David Ruggles's first black magazine, the "Amistad" and "Creole" slave ship revolts, and more.

"Days of Sorrow, Years of Glory" goes beyond the most famous names in the struggle of black Americans for liberty (Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Frederick Douglass) to tell about Norbert Rillieux, William Henry Lane, and Joseph Cinque. I was pretty well versed in the political side of the story in terms of how the nation got from the Missouri Compromise to the Great Compromise of 1850, but Paulson is focusing more on the social side of the struggle. As a result, it is rather surprising to see how much was happening in Black American History in the years before the decade leading up to the Civil War. This book is illustrated with contemporary etchings, drawings, cartoons, and photographs from the period, including a photograph of the Hanging Tree where Nat Turner was executed, the title page of a book written by Frederick Douglass, and a much-reprinted lithograph entitled "The Old Plantation" showing the South's idealized view of slavery. For classes, students and teachers who want more information about American History from the African-American perspective than they will find in their textbooks, this is an excellent series.
