I read this book for a Quebec Society course I have been taking at University. It has helped me understand the trials that the Canadian and Quebec governments have put the Cree people through for political and land gain. Let's not forget the economic gains that the Quebec government has made by using the James Bay Hydro electricity project for their own gain. The Cree are very eloquent in explaining thoroughly the political implications of the Quebec separatist government and their attempts to secede from Canada. It has helped me to put this subject into a better perspective. The Cree will not stand by and watch as their land is purportedly to be yanked away once again. Historically it has happened, but that is where the title of the book comes from "Never Without Consent" they have done their homework and after reading this well constructed book the government will not be able to displace the Cree. Thank you to the Grand Council of the Crees (Eeyou Astchee) and the ECW Press.

I have all of Andy Southard,Jr's books! They are undoubtedly the very best to be published on the subject of Hot Rods and Custom Cars. Each one is a "must read" for all who are interested in these special creative automobiles, as well as an opportunity to explore the diverse personalities of their owners and builders! They are among my most prized book possessions. The photography is fabulous and the writing is first class!

With grace, wonder and gentle humor, Burton Berry tells the story of how he became one of the 20th century's greatest collectors.

A career diplomat, young Berry was posted to Istanbul in 1928. He soon learned nearly everyone he met collected "something." Unable to afford the beautiful rugs, jewelry and daggars found in the Grand Bazaar, Berry chose to collect old towels - at the time, considered little more than worthless rags. Despite the sneers his "finds" drew, Berry persisted, caught up in the adventure of buying, making friends and learning about an exotic foreign culure. Eventually, he developed a passion for the items he collected, and became recognized as an expert on Turkish textiles, silver, gems and bronzes.

The black and white illustrations and photos (if only they were in color!) provide clues to the "Arabian Knights" atmosphere Berry found in the Bazaar, and the treasures he discovered there. Today, his collection is housed in the Art Institute of Chicago.

Highly recommended for young adult readers ages 8-12, Over The Edge is a fun, exciting suspense novel collaborative written by Gloria Skurzynski and Alane Ferguson, and is the latest entry in the "Mysteries In Our National Parks" series. When Olivia Landon receives a threatening, anonymous e-mail after announcing her disputed plan to save and protect the endangered condors of Grand Canyon National Park, a trail of computer evidence leads to personal peril! Over The Edge is fast-paced read, with the added bonus of slipping in some educational information about one of America's greatest natural parks.

I thought it as funny because he was chased by a cat. I think people who want to learn more about Nashville should read this book. the book was about a mouse who got lost.

Beautiful artwork,fascinating words,mix and match your favorites to design your own "odd couples"! So,besides being a visual delight,this book is also very informative.

I have used a previous edition of this book. That is why I just ordered the 2003 edition.

A 100% French dictionary with numerous illustrations in color. For example, do you want to know all the names of items on a boat/ship? It has a beautiful drawing with all the parts labeled.

This is a dictionary for the serious student of Français.

The second half of the dictionary is the "Proper Nouns". People and places.

This book is the third in the author's arsenal, and it is just as useful as the other two. The author is a wonderful photographer, just the images in the book would be worth the price, but the reader gets a lot more:
Detailed descriptions of where to go for the best shots, and the best times to go there. For some of the areas, you get a mile-by-mile log, and even some compositional suggestions. Even if one has been to these places previously, this book contains extremely valuable information for the serious photographer.

This is an eminently readable, and a persuasive account of the impact that military-strategic assessments have on foreign economic policies. The research seems carefully done, both from primary and secondary documents, and the author gives due consideration to alternative explanations. This is the only book I have seen that adequately describes the links between strategy and foreign economic policies with the broad historical sweep that this book has. It was particularly interesting in terms of the forces that shape foreign economic policies. For these reasons this book is a "must read" for anyone interested in the grand strategic role that foreign economic policies play.
