My Grandmother introduced me to this book years ago by her use of it to make her annual batches of Swedish Pepparkakkor and Swedish Spritz cookies. She would (and still does) make them every December to those who are lucky enough to receive these yummy cookies! She uses this recipe, but instead of rolling out the Pepparkakkor cookies, she spreads them out in flat layers using a cookie press. The cookies are easy to make and lots of fun to decorate for kids and adults.

She also uses this book to make Swedish meatballs that are always a favorite of all who come to her annual holiday party! Everyone who tries them looks forward to her making them again next year!!

I now make the two cookie recipes every year (as they are my particular favorites), and I am also little by little trying out the other recipes. I am finding each one to be consistently great! I think that if you would like a few Swedish recipes that are tried and true terrific ones then this is the recipe book for you!!!!

Despite the appearances this isn't a science fiction story. You'll find in it many question about our way of living, about what is considered rational, what is freedom and what is love. This story will change your mood, you'll feel dropped in it. You'll also learn how our world could be doomed.

Julian F. Thompson is one of the best writers out there for young adults. This was one of my favorite books in high school, and still is despite the questionable wisdom of adulthood.

The story is an unusual one, but one that I'm sure every teenager has fantasized about (I know I did). The protagonist inherits a fortune from her vanished father, and uses the money to buy a town where she and her friends can live. (Mariasburg: Population 18 and Under.) This unusual setting is the background for a story that deals with the relationships between generations and the often frightening beliefs held by religious fanatics. This book presaged the recent incidents in Waco and Montana by several years.

I am rather surprised that this book is now a special order, but I suppose it could be considered rather subversive. It appears that Thompson's groundbreaking (and I believe his first) novel, The Grounding of Group 6, is out of print. Get this one if you can, from a used-book dealer. The premise appears outrageous, but Thompson's talent is such that the story is both believable and chilling.

This is the oldwest Hollywood style Pardners and I love it.What more can I say except BUY IT NOW and that's an order tin horns.

The fact that there are many books available that are designed to teach you how to be a good public relations writer is not news. What is news is that William Thompson's Targeting The Message reminds you of who you are really writing to--not your boss, not your clients, not your media contacts, not yourself, but your target audiences. The purpose of Targeting The Message is to encourage the reader to discipline him/herself to consider the receiver when creating a message. Too often in the field of public relations, success is defined by the number of successful media placements one has made. Thompson does a terrific job of redefining what it means to "reach" your audiences. He stresses that "reaching" your target audiences does not mean merely being successful at getting your message through the media or getting your target publics to recognize your advertisements, but for your messages to have an impact on them. Thompson challenges you to become a better writer by entering the minds of your potential readers.

Every chapter in this book starts off with "Real-Life Lessons," "What You Know," and "What You'll Learn." Targeting The Message teaches you how to do such things as create a persuasion platform, conduct research, write a position paper, form query letters, and target print and broadcast media. And just like any good public relations text, this one has a chapter on ethics and legal issues. Also, the "Applications Workbook" section includes useful information from the Associated Press Stylebook, tips on how to improve your basic writing skills, and answer keys. Furthermore, there are case studies to which the reader can apply the chapter concepts and theories.

Targeting the Message proves to be a worthy textbook for my Advanced Public Relations Writing course (Spring 2000). Thompson constantly reminds you, and figuratively drills into your head, that you must consider the receiver when you deliver a message. This uniquely superb book can serve as a guide for any writer, especially the public relations writer. There are many books that teach you how to be a good, a great, and even an incredible public relations writer. But Targeting The Message reminds you of what is really important in message placement: not successfully reaching the media (although this is a good start), but your ability to grab the attention of your target audiences, have tremendous impact on them, and motivate them to take action.

Have read all 36 in this series. I think this is the first one to be all about Shakespeare McNair and not any on Nate King. King has been the main hero in the other 35. McNair is now in his eighties but you would not know it the way he acts in this book. He and his wife, Blue Water Woman, have seen a monster at their cabin. The monster then carries off Blue Water Woman. Shakespeare of course goes after her. But wait, is the creature that carried off Blue Water a monster or not? Shakespeare and his wife find people in a cave and they have been there many years. There are also troops from another place after them. Can the mountain man save them? There is a lot of action. The book is easy to read and does not take long. If you liked the books about Nate King you will like this one.

Thena's Boy is the third book in Donald D. Thompson's ten part series of The Sol Chronicles. This is the story of Mart, a young man and the future King of Mars.
I liked this book. Thena's Boy was easier to read than The Final Solician or The Telpin Man. In the previous books, the story line dealt with three or more societies and the reader had to pay attention to the flow of the book and the intertwining of characters. In Thena's Boy, Donald narrowed the story line down to one race, the Martians. In doing so, Donald was able to explore each character more deeply, bringing forth strengths and weaknesses of all. At the same time, Donald introduced a new race and, once again, implemented the ability to communicate telepathically. I also noticed several times when Donald called on his experiences from his submarine career.
Mart has a dream to irrigate the planet and with the help of Thena and the other members of her race, the goal is eventually accomplished and the Martians are able to spread out. Thena's Boy continues the wanderlust of the tribes as the space ship; Venussa is found and used to further populate the galaxy.
I am looking forward to book four, Armageddon. I am sure Donald will continue to weave an excellent tail of wonder, excitement and surprise.

I loved the way that Donald Thompson introduced dogs as the true Martians and established the relationship between men and canines. The construction of the fabled canals of Mars was a stroke of pure genius. I am curious about this Armageddon that he introduced and I am wondering how it will play into what is obviously our solar system. The next book should be fun to read.
