The perfect lighthearted fare for this summer's, or any season's, trip to anywhere. Full of helpful facts and just enough fun to keep you giggling on every plane, train, or automobile, you'll want to keep reading it long after the vacation is over. I did!

For those used to Clay's research voice, this book was a pleasant change. She is an interesting and informative read. Her advice on literacy instruction is as good as ever. If you like Clay's work and Guided Reading, buy it!

This is an amazing first hand account of the cafe racing scene from the 30's on. Great stories and bike information.

A classic western scenario! A stagecoach that must reach its final destination. Apaches on the warpath. One hero with a score to settle. A wise old sheriff, a trigger-happy deputy, a glory-hungry cavalry Lieutenant, and a host of other frontier types, all drawn to confrontation at a deserted stage station. But there's an added twist to this wonderful tale of Southwestern Arizona - an Apache scout by the name of Peaches, who is always more than he seems. His presence, plus a rapid-fire story line, makes "Chiricahua" an excellent read. Winner of the 1973 Spur Award for Historical Novel, "Chiricahua" is marred only by the use at times of excessive bad language. Otherwise, it would be worthy of 5 stars.

The book is great for the beginner who is starting out in clay shooting. The book covers all the important aspects of what a person would want to know about target shotgun shooting. From describing the variations between trap, skeet and sporting clays to the different kinds of shotguns, shell gauges and barrel lengths. The perfect first book to get into the clay target sports.

this book was very interesting, it was full of laws and justice systems that everyone can learn. It talks about Cassius Clay and his bumpy road of boxing. This book also talks about how one man and his beliefs can affect a whole nation. To me this book is very inspiring and I recommend this book to anyone who is involved in politics of anykind, and just pleasure reading, this book makes you want to know more about how cruel the american justice system can really be.

This book was written in the early 80s but is still useful today as a guide to how an amateur astronomer can contribute to the science. It covers many observing topics in-depth and explains how to document findings: variable stars, double star orbits, sunspots, asteroid light curves, comets. The book also contains a section on photography and the use of a couple handy instruments that are now probably outdated.

I read the book but haven't actually begun any of the projects covered in it, mainly because I just like to observe with my telescope and not get mired in the science. However, the book did help me become more familiar with the use of telescopes as scientific instruments and not just as windows on the universe.

I'm a genealogist, and since recently uncovering a lineage that takes me back into Tudor and Stewart times in several rural English counties, I've been reading about and hunting up photos of small English towns and villages. It's hard to find views that don't include motorways, television towers, and supermarkets, but this splendid book brims over with gorgeous, glossy color photos of many varieties of the "classic" English village. Even better, the text identifies what you're looking at in considerable detail, gives a capsule history, and explains the differences between traditions and cultures in (say) Somerset, Norfolk, and Yorkshire -- which is important for us Yanks, even those of us who are well read in history. For instance, I've heard the term "black and white architecture," but really didn't have a mental picture of what it referred to. A lively piece of work.

Mrs. Bender offers an insight to the struggles of coping with Parkinson's disease. The book is poetic and powerful.

I've been using the book over the past month and it comes in real handy when trying to solve the occasional unexplainable Delphi error message. You certainly won't use this book everyday, but when a mysterious error does occur you'll be glad you have the book. Not only does it identify what's causing the error message, it offers quick fix solutions and examples to get you up an running as fast as possible. If your time is valuable and you want to minimize your "downtime", I'd recommend this book. I found it a little bit pricy compared to other Delphi books, but the time it saves in solving Delphi errors will pay for itself several times over.
