I bought this to reference back and forth. I want to read it again in a few years when I forget more of the story....

This book is a great look into the daily process of an artist, focusing primarily at works on paper. The drawings, while very gestural and quick , are a must for any of Mr. Williams fans offering incredible insight into the artist's ideas and methods. Few paintings are shown, but they are accompanied by studies in pencil or pen, making it an invaluable visual lesson. Kent Williams has picked up figurative work where Klimt and Schiele left off, making him a contemporary of Dave McKean. All in all a brilliant showing of an artist's lesser known works and his practices

This little book is a real asset in teaching first aid to children. Easy to read, simple pictures, and solid advice, I highly recommend this book to health teachers as well as families.

Kirchborn by Kent C. Gilmore is a dark novel about an insidious international terrorist organization called "Kirchborn" that infiltrates its tendrils into prestigious corporations. Bret Roemer is a young New York attorney who finds himself falling in love with a beautiful woman named Claire, and getting caught in the crossroads of murder and domination as he must solve the enigma of Kirchborn, at terrible personal cost. Captivating and delightfully deceptive reading, Kirchborn is highly recommended for personal and community library contemporary fiction shelves.

I attend a legal research course and depend on it to help me get my research assignments done. The book gives thoughtful analysis of legal materials currently published and its beautiful illustrations and annotated examples make legal research less confusing. It evaluates sources thoroughly and its topical approach and excellent index make it thoroughly usable and useful.

Published in 1973, DKH tags along with Larry Mahan, to the Pendleton Round-Up, talking with folks like Phil Lyne, Gary Leffew, Don Gay, Chris LeDoux and many other great World Champions of this era. This book is about the blood, guts, glory, waking up in a bathtub (12 to a room), life of the rodeo cowboy. Has a few B&W photos.

How refreshing to have finally found such a positive resource tool for children who find themselves living with a grandparent! This book provides these children with an "It's OK to live with your grandparents" message and is SO needed in our society today! No blame is assigned for the circumstances, just acceptance, love and encouragement. This is exactly what these grandchildren need to hear!

Susan Kent has given these children permission to safely engage in discussion and take the opportunity to ask the unaskable: "Why can't I live with mommy/daddy anymore?"; "What did I do wrong?", "Where is mommy/daddy?"; "Why am I different?", etc.

Thank you, Susan, from the bottom of this grandma's heart!

"Letters to my Son" is a life-changing work of art. Within its pages is some of the most valuable wisdom of the ages. If there was a single book that I would wish to leave to my children, THIS book would be it. Although the book is written from the loving perspective of a father, I have chosen to inscribe this book to my two sons(in the event of my demise before I have the opportunity to share all of the wonderful truths contained within its pages). I have shared the book with many friends and now am unable to obtain another copy for myself. Why would such a phenomenal book no longer be available?!? Every man should read this book at different stages in his life for it will give himan insight into the human heart and soul. Please...don't allow the vision and greatness of the human spirit to stop here!Bring this book back into print! If every male read this book and understood the truths being shared, the divorce rate would drastically decline in America, and we would have fewer wars(both physically and spiritually). I must have another copy of this book from whatever source is available. It is truly a gift to share

Most Americans know that the "battles" of Lexington and Concord followed Paul Revere's famous ride to every Middlesex village and farm to warn that the British were coming. For me the point where I knew Deborah Kent had a firm handle on the material for this particular book was when she argued that the reason Revere was more famous than William Dawes, the other courier who rode that night, was that Henry Wadsworth Longfellow found it a lot easier to rhyme words with Revere rather than Dawes (go ahead and spend an afternoon just trying to come up with a line to set up "Of the midnight ride of William Dawes" that is halfway lyrical). What young readers will learn from this informative little volume is that what happened at Lexington and Concord were not exactly battles and could barely be called skirmishes.

Kent does a good job of providing both sides of the matter, setting up the British objectives (capture Sam Adams and John Hancock at Lexington and then seize the weapons and other supplies the colonists had stored in Concord) and then detailing how the American militia fled from the superior British numbers and firepower on Lexington Green only to end up losing hundreds of men from sniper fire on the retreat from Concord. Both sides claimed the other fired the "shot heard 'round the world," but the spark hardly matters now. Kent clearly shows that Lexington and Concord achieved two important things. First, it outraged the colonists that British troops would fire on Americans. Second, it showed that the colonial militia could give as well as they took. At Lexington eight Americans were killed and fourteen wounded, while the British suffered no casualties. At Concord two more militiamen and three British soldiers were killed, and many more wounded. But the Americans were able to pick off dozens of British troops on the long march back to Boston.

Certainly in telling the story of what happened on the night of April 18 and during the following day in 1775, Kent takes pleasure in pointing out that the British officer who declared Americans were "the most absolute cowards on the face of the earth" would have to eat his words after what is now celebrated as Patriot's Day in Massachusetts. "Lexington and Concord" is illustrated with most contemporary etchings and paintings. As is usually the case, I have found this volume in the Cornerstones of Freedom series to be an excellent first place for students to look for more details about important subjects covered in their history textbooks. Students will start this book recalling Paul Revere and will end knowing about John Parker and Samuel Whittemore on the one side and Francis Smith and John Pitcairn on the other.

It is so easy to miss what God would consider fruitful and faithful ministry by falling prey to the worldly ways success is measured. Every pastor and Christian worker should read this book.
