This book is about a wild, white horse. A cowboy named C.J. told this story to two girls named Gwen and Jill. It was a story about the wildest and meanest horse in the world. My favorite part was when they found the white horse at night. I like the white horse because he finally became tame. Kids will like this book because it is exciting. Read to find out what happens at the end.

Gwen and Jill are best firends in the book. they see an artcle for a missing horse. they find that C.J has the horse. I'll let you read to find out.

My ex girlfriend, Ashleigh, gave this to me years ago, before she was forced by her family to marry this guy named Tyler. Long story but she sent this book to me and signed the inside.

Next to Shakespeare, this is the most bittersweet and poetic
poems of love that I have ever read.

It was said that a husband and wife team wrote these so one can only imagine how passionate their marriage was, huh?

The book brings together the best of Elizabeth barret Browning. It is a wonderful, emotional book. I enjoy poetry, especially good kind. this is it.

As a boy, my father (a sculptor) bought me this book for my birthday. As an adult composer and percussionist, it is still one of my most cherished music-related books and it would make a great coffee table book for anyone (especially musicians!) who wants something truly out of the ordinary.

I have also used it for teaching: a few years ago I taught at the Walden School for young composers in New Hampshire and taught a class for kids where they built some of the simpler instruments in the book such as the Funnelodeon and the Copper Maracas. They also built Whirly Tubes out of long pieces of light blue swimming pool tubing. Of course, the kids had a great time and some even said it was their favorite class. Therefore, I think this book would be useful for music teachers who teach children and want to try something fun.

Many of the instruments in this book can be built using items found at hardware stores. Many of the more complex instruments are reminiscent of instruments built by the American composer Harry Partch and are also similar to discontinued (yet amazing!) instruments made by the J. C. Deagan company at the beginning of the twentieth century.

This book would make a great gift for anyone curious about different tunings and for someone who wants to try them out on an acoustic instruments, for percussionists, composers, wind players, string players, or even retired folks who have a little extra time and like working with their hands. There are mostly percussion instruments, but also some stringed and wind instruments as well. The directions, photos and diagrams are clear, and overall, this book is just a lot of fun to have around.

A very useful and practical handbook for beginning instrument builders such as I. The book is organized into six sections; wood, wood and metal, metal, skin, plastic, and glass. Mostly percussion designs, but also includes a few simple string instruments and an organ pipe. Instructions and designs for 50 instruments, some traditional but mostly original variations by the authors. Also includes frequency charts, some discussion of just intonation, a great bibliography for further reading and a list of suppliers for things like gourds and bamboo.

I live in Los Angeles and find this book excellent for locals. I have used this book when out of towners pop in for a visit. It lists great places to eat..interesting tid-bits that I would have not known. I have a friend who is moving out here from NYC and bought him the book. He can't wait to be in LA to explore some of the sites listed. A GREAT GUIDE!

This is the most comprehensive travel guide that I have ever read and by far, the most interesting. Incidentally, the guide is 754 pages, not 448 pages, as listed by Amazon. What makes the 'Southern California Guide' different, is that the tourist learns something about the place that he is visiting. For example: The story of Winston Churchill and his connection with the Queen Mary. Example: How the famous restaurant, The Brown Derby, came into existance. There are about 200 sidebars in this guide, all interesting and helpful. There is not one restaurant, hotel, motel, entertainment venue, sports venue, shopping area or anything else of importance to the tourist, that is not covered in this book. The author is very candid about the establishments listed in this book and is not afraid to give you her opinion of same, good and bad. Last but not least, the tourist will find many, many, out of the way places listed in this guide that you will not find in any other travel guide. I unequivocally recommend this travel book as the very best that has ever been written about the Southern California Area.

I'm reading this now, savouring it, allowing one story a day. The stories are gems, polished without feeling workshopped, elegant without seeming traditional, classics yet not stodgy. Spencer's understanding of the nuances of class are superb, and her settings are evocative, rich and compelling. I've read little Southern fiction and spent even less time below the Mason-Dixon line, but these stories still seem real to me, important, touching and relevant. Highly recommended.

Elizabeth Spencer's short stories are elegantly written and filled with moments of delicacy and insight. "Ship of Fools," written many years ago, retains a freshness in its youthful protagonist's perceptions, while her best-known work, "Light in the Piazza," takes the reader into an ethereal, long-lost but bewitching Italian setting. As piercing as her insights into human dynamics is her ability to capture a peculiar quality of light or the dreamy interior world of her many characters. Spencer expertly juxtaposes passages of apparently random stream-of-consciousness with exchanges between men and women that illustrate the kinds of tangled relationships we all make and encounter in daily life. There's never just surface events taking place in Spencer's fiction; much is constantly going on beneath the surface, which for me generates the kind of depth found only in the very best fiction. I strongly recommend her work to readers looking for prose that can be read and re-read, savored and enjoyed, many times over.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is having a challenge keeping a positive focus in today's world.
While the book is filled mostly with messages from Mother Mary, there are also messages from Jesus and other Ascended Beings as well. In a wise, gentle way, Mother Mary 's messages remind me that God is with me all of the time. I like to read and attune to a message before meditation, or to open to a message any time for inspiration.
Sometimes I have wished I could hear what Jesus would say to us today. Now I can, in the messages channeled by this author. I find the book to be uplifting, empowering and sweet. If you are looking for information on what is going to happen "out there" and psychic phenomena, this is not the book for you. If you are looking for more peace and more awareness of the Divine, of the masters , and more attunement to their guiding direction, this is the book for yo

The movement of the text through the reasoning of why teams relocate and the economic impact they inflict on their stomping grounds is an enjoyable and wonderful read for armchair economists and sports enthusiasts.

The section describing the econometric model which can be used to determine the next baseball expansion team was fascinating. I can't believe that Akron, Ohio will be a major league city soon!

Clarice Lispector's "Stream of Life" takes her experimentations with language in "The Passion According to G.H" to an even more abstract level in this novella, if anyone can define it as such. Her fluid use of symbols and language attemps at the impossible: narrating the unspeakable. From this perspective, the reader can appreciate the apparently meaningless meandering of her words and let go of trying to understand. In her own words, "Let go of understanding. To be alive far surpasses the limits of understanding." With this in mind, I was able to enjoy my reading of this work as one who lives fully, wholly present in the company of a witch who uses words to enlighten the dark depths of our pre-historical caves. Viva Clarice!

This is by no means an easy read, but it is beautiful. Lispector is often compared to Joyce; her psychological landscapes and stream of consciousness writing can be likened to his. However, Lispector's writing is thoroughly Brazilian, warm and soft, feminine, dreamlike, interior, yet unafraid of starker realities at the same time. Stream of Life, Lispector's masterpiece, poses the question, "What does it mean to be at the crux of life?" In the process of asking this question, the book's sense of time and concrete reality expands. There are no real narrative boundaries... nothing to exactly grasp on to. It is because of this that this book is difficult. But as much as it is difficult, it is rewarding. It's an intriguing work, trying to explain life while at the same time be life. It begins, "It's such an hallelujah..." and there is rejoicing. it is a book rejoicing in life, wondering at it, and hungering for more of it.

I finally got the chance to read this book after waiting nearly a year for it to be released. It was more than I expected it to be. Like the first three books, I wasn't able to put this book down for more than a minute without my curiousity peaking of what was gonna happen next. I have to admit that I'm sad to think that it came to an end. I felt like I was actually in the story. It touched my heart tremendously. I think I'll be reading the series over and over. Thanks T. Elizabeth Renich for allowing me the chance to read these books.

I have been patiently waiting the "final chapter" in the Shadowcreek Chronicles and it was well worth the wait! I was touched so many times following the story of Jeremy and Salina - through their trials, tribulations, and triumphs in war, life, and family. Ms. Renich has a great way with words. So many times I laughed, cried, and felt as if I was right there with them. I could see and feel all that they were. I even learned more about America's Civil War. Ms. Renich has saved her best for last in this series but I'm hoping that she will write more in the future.

This is a charming book that is extremely valuable for gardeners in Zone 7. The copy in my local library has delicate color illustrations that added a lot to my enjoyment of the book, but the paperback I ordered new from Amazon.com had muddy black-and white versions of the original illustrations. (I don't know if the hardcover pictures are in color.) I've managed to find used copies with color illustrations.

In the fifties, when I was growing up in North Carolina, Miss Lawrence was known in garden circles all over the state as she had been an active gardener and writer for a number of years. I am pleased to see "A Southern Garden" which she wrote in 1942 back in print. RE-reading her words is like listening to an old friend.

She lived and gardened first in Raleigh, then in Charlotte (both Zone 8). The winters in Zone 7 were a bit colder, but many of the plants she recommended for Zone 8, survived in Zone 7 where my family lived and gardened. Given global warming, I think much of Zone 7, which extends right up the East Coast--almost to New England (?)--is now verging on becoming Zone 8 -- at least the part that lies east of the "fall line" on the coastal plain.

I have lived in Arlington, Virginia for a number of years, and have seen a decided shift in the climate in my area. Crepe Myrtles that used to live no futher north than Fredericksburg and die back to the ground in Arlington don't. And Catbirds, a real southerner are nesting in my yard. Both of these are Zone 8 transplants.

Even though I am technicaly in the lower edge of Zone 7, I can grow almost anything Miss Lawrence discusses in her book "A Southern Garden" in my garden. My house is on the "fall line" however, and just west of me the winters are a tad too cold for some things. But if you live in Zone 7, and like a plant try it. If it lives great, if not you've gained some wonderful experience.

Most importantly, pay attention to Miss Lawrence when she describes the 'old timey gardens' -- some say there is nothing new under the sun, and though that might not be entirely correct, many of the old plant forms she discusses are still extant.

This book is a window into the way our Grandmother's gardened. Miss Lawrence describes in her own wonderful and modest style where she purchased plants and how plants she admired performed either in her garden or in the garden's of her friend's. Her descriptions are informative and often humorous. Anyone serious about gardening in the South should own this book as a reference guide. Even a non-gardener would enjoy this lovely book.
