My futuristic, optimistic novel should be appealing to anyone who wonders what life could be like if there were no more war, poverty, disease, or death, and where a reunification of people with their (formerly) dead loved ones is possible.

Additionally, serious Twain fans (Twainiacs) should find the book interesting, as countless references to Twain's life and times, as well as allusions (in addition to numerous direct quotations) to his writings are made throughout.

this story is great true follow up to what happened to many of the prisoners of war that built the bridge over the river kwai. it deserves a shot at being made into a movie as it is an exciting true life drama. i should know, my father is 1st. class torpedoman robert bennett of the u.s.s. pampanito

This is Trumbull's third and final installment in a series of books dealing with the topic of blood covenanting ("The Blood Covenant" and "The Threshold Covenant" being the former). The use of salt, as this book elaborates upon, is just an extension of that rite in which salt is seen as the nexus of a covenant instead of blood. For as a body without blood will soon die, so will a body without salt. Hence, salt and blood are both counted as sacred and necessary for life.

Historical record, personal observations, and applied scholarship once again are entwined in this work. And so it is with great confidence that I recommend this book as a means of bringing into full circle the understanding surrounding the truths of the blood covenant.

This book is designed for use with an observation survey determining a child's reading readiness and his/her concepts about print. Some pages have the words in strange order, some pages are upside-down, and so on, although superficially it looks like a "normal" book. It is illustrated and has big type, the illustrations facing the type pages. In line with the California Reading Initiative and the assembly bills requiring informed diagnosis of children's reading readiness and progress, and multiple assessments thereof, this is a valuable diagnostic tool for children entering school, to be used with the test script on page 47-48 of Marie Clay's An Observation Survey of Early Literacy Achievement.

Good stuff- nice sci/fi, good plot, and great man-sex. Nice to see a solid idea, with good 'atmosphere' and imagined characters, and of course, solid, hot mansex.

A sequel would be nice....

I've been buying this book for years and it is still the best guide to all the strip clubs and porn shops in New York. I like that they cover the whole city, not just Manhattan like most guides.

I really enjoyed this book because I have learned some great new words.

This is a wonderful resource, but frankly, for the more "artsy" stamper. I love the projects, techniques, and looks shown here, but if you're looking for clean and simple, this is not it. Not that the techniques are difficult -- they aren't -- it's just that the looks are very elegant. The book shows stamping on everything -- clothes, paper, clay, umbrellas, and more. You can transfer the techniques from these to other media if you know what you are doing and aren't afraid to try something new. Everything from funky to renaissance...Nice stuff, I like it, maybe you will, too.

Police officers need to read this book and to be aware of all stressors on the job. Police stress is a killer. The more the officer knows the better the chances of dealing with stress effectively. I recommend it.
