Nightmares in the Mist (Parent's Guide)
Published in Hardcover by Enchante (September, 1995)
Authors: Liz Farrington, Leslie McGuire, Brian McGovern, Hoy, and Dillon
Average review score:

Beautifully illustrated book with topic directly addressed
This is one book which I wish to retain in my library of books at the office. I am a Mental Health therapist, an art therapist, and this book is a very helpful tool to have around. It deals with nightmares is a way that is just vauge enough to be valuable to any reader with nightmares. It is especially helpful to African Americn girls, as this is who the main character is. What a joy to find a book where one of the characters is an art therapist!


Northern Lullaby
Published in School & Library Binding by Philomel Books (October, 1992)
Authors: Nancy White Carlstrom, Leo Dillon, and Diane Dillon
Average review score:

Beautiful!
Author, Nancy White Carlstrom and illustrators Leo and Diane Dillon have combined their talents to create a truly beautiful bedtime story for the young child. Nancy White Carlstrom whose family moved to Alaska wanted to create a book that was reflective of the flora, fauna and traditions she found there.

Included in her lovely poem are both animate and inanimate items as mountains, rivers, trees stars, moon, moose, wolves, bears, foxes, and mice brought to life as members of the family, grandmothers, grandfathers, uncles, aunts, cousins, sisters, brothers, mothers and fathers. The book supplies a profound and visual picture of our inter-connection with nature and each other that are frequently found in Native American folk tales.

The Dillons are well reputed children's illustrators who specialize in illustrating stories which fairly represent many different cultures. Their illustrations in this book are outstanding and really I would love to have some of them framed. This book as other outstanding children's book could serve as a coffee table book for adults to leaf through and drool over.

The book is for children though and it provides a wonderful warm feeling for children as they nestle into their bed on a cold winter's night or even in the summer. How special it is for children to know they are loved by many different family members as they fall asleep.


Officially Supported Export Credits: Developments and Prospects (World Economic and Financial Surveys)
Published in Paperback by Intl Monetary Fund (February, 1988)
Authors: K. Burke Dillon, Luis Duran-Downing, and Miranda Xafa
Average review score:

Better than Madonna in denim!
Is there anything better than Madonna in denim? Don't be ridiculous! But "Officially Supported Export Credits" comes darn close. The editors here are like Kafka and William S. Burroughs rolled into one. The prose reads like a cross between "Metamorphosis" and "Naked Lunch." What power! What bugs! It's exportalicious!

Personal Teaching
Published in Paperback by University Press of America (15 February, 2002)
Author: J. T. Dillon
Average review score:

"Personal Teaching"
This book is an excellent source for teachers, combining the author's reveloutionary ideas and theories about education, examples of how these worked for him, and the basic structure of education and how to use it best. Though it is a non-fiction book, it has the quality of witty and clever writing that makes it impossible to put down. Even if you are not interested in educational psychology it is very interesting, as much so as a novel!! The excellent thoughts conveyed in this book would help anyone who interacts with others in the way of a teacher. Parents, teachers, professors, religious leaders, and company heads will enjoy this book especially for its theories, but I recommend it to anyone, for it relays a series of very amusing yet thought-provoking experience. Even the appendix is clever and funny. This is a top-notch book.


Picnic on paradise
Published in Unknown Binding by ()
Authors: Joanna Russ, Leo Dillon, and Diane Dillon
Average review score:

A classic debut
Picnic on Paradise was Joanna Russ's first novel, and it remains one of my favorites. It concerns Alyx, agent of TransTemp, and her attempt to get a group of civilians safely across a hostile landscape. The dangers faced are sometimes environmental but more often internal. The characters are vivid and fascinating (particularly Machine) and the story is surprisingly realistic and grounded. Definitely my favorite of Ms. Russ's books (and she's one of my favorite authors).


A Pictorial Guide to the Birds of the Indian Subcontinent
Published in Hardcover by Oxford Univ Pr (September, 1996)
Authors: Salim Ali, Dillon Ripley, John Henry Dick, Sidney Dillon Ripley, Bombay Natural History Society, and Ripley Ali
Average review score:

The only complete field guide for the birds of India.
I used this book for three years while living in India. While its illustrations are not as robust or detailed as those of western field guides, they are usually adequate. First, and foremost, though, is that this volume is currently the ONLY book that contains all the species. Others contain a mere fraction. For that reason alone, this is the one book you should get for IDing birds in India. The rest lead only to disappointment, unless used in conjunction with this one.

This book is the illustration subset of the much larger Handbook, which comes in a 10-volume set (or in one tiny-print "compact" volume). The two work well together: one for your field forays, and one for the bookshelf back home. Be warned, though: the compact Handbook, while an exhaustive study of each species (including migration maps and exhumed stomach contents, etc.) is expensive when you can find it.
