The book "The runaways" is about a 12 year-old girl named Dani. She wants to runaway back to Sea Grove where it's better where there's a better view. She lives in Rattler Springs in the middle of a desert where it's so ugly. Her friend Stormy wants to run away with her, but she doesn't have enough money for two bus tickets. A new kid in town named Pixie overheard Dani talking about the plans for leaving. Know she want's to run away. Now they definetly don't have enough money, that soon changes. After Pixies birthday, they get $110! Their plans fail, but the good thing is that Dani gets another house that is better even though she is still in Rattler Springs. Pixie is going back to her grandma's house. Stormy stays with Dani in her house.

We are a girl and a boy in the fourth. The story Runaways is about an adventure. The adventure is about two girls and a boy named Pixie, Dani, and Stormy, when they try to run away.They think Pixie's parents are mad scientists. Dani's mother, Linda, thinks that Stormy's mother is mistreating him. Read about the adventures of these funny kids while they try to raise money to run away!

We think this is a good book to read because it has a lot of adventure in it. Billions of kids will love it. We give this book a thumbs up. We loved the part when Dani, Pixie, and Stormy we're trying to run away forever back to Sea Grove. We also liked how the narrarator used the beautiful words. Read the book it's great.

This bk is awesome. Really it is. It's different than other romances and contains alot of depth in the characters. I put off reading this bk for a long time b/c I didn't like the idea of a Mother leaving her child and husband for 12yrs. I could not fathom a reason why anyone would do this especially in the 1800's!! Well, I bought Anabelle's reason for leaving (I certainly did not agree with it) and I loved how she stayed true to Gabriel all those years.

It was also interesting to watch the H/H interact with a grown child as well as how he interacted with them. I would have liked to have seen more of a scene where Nicholas vented his anger to his Mother over why she left him but even without that scene the bk was great.

If your looking for something different than the usual romance this is it.

"The Vow", another of Linda Lael Miller's great works. When Annabel returns to her home in Parable, Nevada, the sparks fly between Annabel and her husband, Gabe McKeige. Both are too stubborn to admit that although they lost a beloved child years before, their love for each other did not die. After unsuccessfully trying to deny their feelings, eventually the passion erupts, the fire is rekindled, and the promises made long ago are once again being fulfilled in "The Vow."

I love Ms. Miller's books and each gets better than the last. Read "The Vow" and I promise you will not be disappointed.

The hook of course is our heroine, Annabel, AND her entrance back into town. Knowing LLM for many years I immediately started anticipating who was the had-to-be major dynamic hero, Gabriel. I was not disappointed. All of the major characters had many different colors. Linda maintains her artistic touch to create a masterpience with lots of passionate interaction. In addition to everything, I delighted at the two suprises she saved until the very end! Last but certainly not least the town, Parable, Nevada, was where it HAD to take place.

Picked up this book by accident and what a find. I am looking forward to reading more of Ms. Kane's books!!

I loved this book! I have read time travel books in the past but nobody puts them together like Kathleen Kane. She has a wonderful sense of humor and it shows in all of the strong characters that she builds. I really felt like I knew each one of them. She puts in personal details that bring the charaters to life. It's hard to find a book that really makes you laugh out loud and cry as well. This book was great! I can't wait to get my hands on another Kathleen Kane story! If you like time-travel romance, you'll love this one.

This is a beautiful story that makes you laugh and also cry because you are so touched by the characters. A wonderful fantasy and beautiful romance mixed with love, emotion, drama and a few surprises. A keeper!!

I first purchased these Make a Mix book back in the 70's. They were great for putting good meals on the table for a family of six. Great Saving to! I wore them out and lent them out until I didn't get it back. I have looked and looked for another copy. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I have used this cookbook and the sequel since they were first released in the 70's. I think mine were purchased in '78. I love to use these mixes as gifts, especially at Christmas and as new neighbor or busy friend gifts. I have just begun my search to replace my very tattered copies. Help appreciated! MBearRn@aol.com

I first borrowed a copy of the 1978 original of this book and discovered it was a must have for any busy cook. Especially those who like to make their meals healthy and free of preservatives. A great gift for a beginner or bored cook.

This book is the most lovely pictoral tribute to the Great State of Nevada that I have ever seen. It exemplifies the rich physical and social geography as well as the cultural, institutional and entrepenurial spirit that this state holds so dear. Truly beautiful.

"Nevada" has been sitting on my coffee table for about a year now - and it's served well. I've come home many days after being enmeshed in our modern world for 10 or more hours and been reminded of the expansiveness and beauty of the natural world that's only a 4 hour drive away from me. This is a well-written and beautifully photographed book. I have to admit that I'm fascinated with Nevada. With the great otherness and open space that is the Silver State.

I learned quite a bit and was entertained by the essays that divide the sections of photos with chapters including: "The Meaning of Nevada", "People and the Land", Basin and Range", and "Prospect and Chance." There is good history here about Nevada's people and it's geography, helped by quotes from the likes of John Muir, Mark Twain and authors of other Nevada oriented books as well as regular folks who like their home state.

However the real draw is in the photos. Scenic, evocative, large, well footnoted, just plain beautiful. I really felt like this is a book crafted by people with a love and appreciation of the place that is Nevada. As though they wanted to share their passion and knowledge with me. I also like the simplicity of the look and feel of the book. There's a frankness and openness that's reminiscent of the state of Nevada itself.

Enjoy!

This is a beautiful book.

However, Jon Christensen' s essay 'Basin and Range' really caught my attention. It turns out that this region is quite special, rich in unique species and lessons about evolution. Christensen compares the 'Great Basin sky islands' with the more famous islands of the Galapagos.

This book is the perfect combination of big color photographs and four well-written essays. The Graphic Arts Center Publishing Company of Portland did a fine job.

How I wish, I found this book first! I could have saved myself a lot of time and money.

I read this book in one sitting - 7 hours. I just could not bring it down. This book answered for me three important questions, 1) Why should I incorporate? 2) Why should I choose Nevada? and 3) How do I incorporate in Nevada?

The depth of the answers provided by Rowley is assuring. It appears to be complete and authoritative. With this knowledge I am now in a better position to do my own homework!

This book appears to deliver what it promised. I think I am going to read it again.

I like Rowley's style of writing: it is simple and straight to the point -- a real time saver! How I wish that Rowley will write one more book -- something like entitled, "Taking Care of Your Nevada Corporation."

A book on a subject like this is a situation where you'd really rather look over the various books in a bookstore rather than buy online. But after looking over all the books I could find online, I decided to buy this one. I am very pleased with it, with one quibble: the price. The content is good, the book is nicely printed and bound, but even so ... ouch! $65.95?! At any rate, the reasons I bit the bullet and bought it are: (1) I got the feeling that a lot of books on this subject are shill come-ons for Nevada "incorporation advisors"--I did searches on the net for some of the titles, and they came up on pages of such outfits, obviously written by the people behind the businesses, who tend not to have any formal legal training; the Rowley book is not a shill job at all. (2) Rowley has put a good chunk of his book online where you can read it for free; I'd put the URL here, but Amazon would delete it; nevertheless, if you search for it and read the content, it gives you a good preview of the book (although the juicy stuff, like the sample articles of incorporation are not online). (3) About a third of the book consists of reference material like the Nevada Revised Statutes, which are available online at the Secretary of State's site (where you can search for words in your browser), but it's nice to have a printed copy. With this book and a resident agent (look online at the Secretary of State's site for a complete list), you can do the incorporation yourself.

I have bought several other books on incorporating and have often been disappointed to find out that what promised to be informative was mostly a glorified sales piece for some company or seminar speaker - lots of hype but little information you can use yourself without their help. This book was different! Filled with all the info I need to setup and maintain Nevada Corporations (has info on LLC's and Wyoming corps too!) Best book on the subject I have ever seen!

Very captivating. Combines great technical detail, romance, life & death struggle; a hero who is very strong and yet full of compassion. If you like military action, this is a great book.

Rhombus is the kind of story you just can't put down. From the very first page, the story grabs you and won't let you go. I found myself coming back again and again until I finished it. Gore has done a splendid job of weaving and spinning a terrific plot, chuck full of interesting characters. An absolute must read! Dudley Henriques International Fighter Pilots Fellowship

Good things do come in threes. I rank Gore's writing up there with two other West Virginia natives. Christum has the air warrior skills of Stephen Coonts'Jake Grafton and the warm emotional side of Homer Hickam's Sonny. His technical knowledge is used in a way that makes the story enjoyable, as opposed to Clancy's style of trying to overwhelm and impress the reader. I wonder if Gore still has that '64 Mustang I admired as a kid when it sat in his parent's driveway on College Park.

The photos in this book jumped out at me and encouraged me to purchase it, yet I was very happily surprised by the thoroughness and readability of the text. I made a road trip down highway 395 this past summer through the Eastern Sierra region and this book proved to be an invaluable resource. It turned me onto many great places to visit off the beaten path. There is excellent history, wildlife and geological info, and descriptions of the towns along the way. The photos are just great, making this both a coffee table book and a great visitors guide. I stopped at the Interagency Visitor Center in Lone Pine (which I would recommend as a good starting point for anyone exploring the area) and among their large selection of books about the region I found this book to the best single source if choosing just one. You'll be very happy with this purchase.

As an employee of a resort in the Eastern Sierra, I've glanced through and read many books about the region. Of all of them, this book is the best written and researched. The book's pictures are good, but the text is the true value of the book. This book has it all, from climate, to wildlife, to various flora of the region, to recreational suggestions for each of the region's popular landmarks. A must have for any fan of the Eastern Sierra or for anyone planning a trip to this fantastic region of California.

I bought a copy of this book years ago, and I've traveled extensively through the region it covers. It is one of the most attractive and informative books I own. Of course, the Eastern Sierra is a region of astounding beauty, so author Sue Irwin could hardly go wrong.

I decided to read this book based on a recommendation by Liz Curtis Higgs (one of my favorite authors)and I am so glad I did. This book is a wonderful little story about how God honors the faith of a child. I read alot of books and it has been a long time since one moved me to tears, but that is exactly what this one did. It is easy to focus on the bad things in this world, especially now, but this book reminds us that God does care about us and our world and he will answer prayer.

In 1912 in the Sierras, life is not only hard for everyone, but most people believe they are worse off now than a few years ago. Ten years old Daisy James insists she sees angels, but her two older brothers and her younger siblings look upon her as a lunatic. Still, Daisy believes while knowing that all the townsfolk are sad, especially her mother Abigail, who stopped singing and laughing when she lost the baby last year.

Daisy has a plan to bring joy and God back into the lives of the beleaguered locals. She wants to build a church, but no one heeds the words of a preadolescent female. With the patience of Job, Daisy writes a play, COME, MY LITTLE ANGEL, in which she persuades her peers to participate on the journey back home.

COME, MY LITTLE ANGEL will catch the attention of the reader from start to finish with its "Little Engine that Could" story line to inspire everyone at a time we need books like this. The historical tale never slows down as readers feel the pain of the charcaters and the hopes of the little heroine who refuses to bend from peer, parental, and sibling pressure. Diane Noble provides a noble experience for those readers who need a lift or who want an angel in their life should share the novel with their children.

Harriet Klausner

A sparkling gem of a story that transcends season and settings! From the first page, COME MY LITTLE ANGEL tugged at my heartstrings, drawing me into young Daisy's magical world, infusing me with her unwavering hope. A timeless classic!

First some disclosure - I am acquainted with Hal Rothman in a professional capacity and I saw a couple of chapters before publication.

Neon Metropolis is the best book I've read that explains the city I've lived in for nearly 3 years.

Sure, it's easy to be ironic about Las Vegas and offer postmodern gobbledygook about what the city means. There are dozens of third rate writers and poets making unoriginal observations about Sin City. Hal tells it like it is for the folks who live here - in and outside of the gambling industry.

Rothman is rigorous in his academic asessment of the city, yet the book is highly readable in explaining why Las Vegas is so successful at convincing ordinary folks like me, that I deserve to be strolling the lobby of the Bellagio with a Cosmopolitan in hand, contemplating a meal at a restaurant equivalent to a weeks pay.

This is the one book I'll be recommending to newcomers to the city to get a grip on Las Vegas.

An insightful work. Neon Metropolis is an essential antidote to the many critics who fly to Las Vegas for a quick visit, and leave with biases undisturbed and nothing useful to say.

What sets Rothman apart? He combines academic investigation with close observation, over time, of how this resort town is turning into one of the most successful and popular cities in the United States.

Key to the success of this book is the fact that Rothman lives in this city, where he teaches history at UNLV. He has lived in the brand new subdivisions which excite the derision of tourist-critics who cannot fathom that such planned communities could be anything other than hideously pathological. Rothman, on the other hand, has watched these communities grow with time. His children have played in the nascent sports leagues; he has ridden the mass transit; he has seen how people carve a real community to raise families - for two or three generations now - out of unconventional and even unlikely material. He has tracked political movements and talked to his neighbors at Starbucks. And while these communities may not be perfect - Rothman has an academic's balanced powers of evaluation - they do work. This information is of wider interest as well; Rothman discusses the many ways that Las Vegas is a prototype in developing the emerging urban-suburban cities that we find across the nation.

This book reveals an intriguing urban landscape. We learn how the earlier Las Vegas of the Mob shaped not only its gambling economy, but created its hospitals, churches and other institutional urban infrastructure. We then learn how the Las Vegas of Wall Street (after Hilton, Holiday Inn and other corporations became the major stakeholders) built the foundations for the enormous growth in size, prestige and influence over the last twenty years.

Along the way we see how the many threads of a real city - unions, immigrants, a strong middle-class economy, civic and business leaders, and the city's self-conceptions - have been woven together. Rothman helpfully compares Las Vegas to Detroit's growth along with another booming new industry earlier in the century.

This book is a dose of well-researched reality which should be read by anyone concerned with the health and direction of American cities.

that upsets convention in all the best ways. It takes assumptions of the elite and inverts them. This is a book about how real people live in an unusual city. I like it very much
