This book really leads you the wrong way until the very end. In this suspenceful story, Frank and Joe are asked to investigate a case for some of their friends. What they don't know is that Greg and Mike Rawley have something else planned for them, and the Hardy's don't know what is coming! This book is still one of the best of the Hardy Boys Casefiles, and is a must to get for serious fans.

A well-documented scholarly translation from the original French of Jean Bodin's masterpiece of political theory. Though of immense influence in its day, divine right sovereignty has certainly gone out of fashion (thank goodness!) unless perhaps you are living in Saudi Arabia or Lesoto. Nonetheless, for college students and the curious this is as nice a translation and abridgement as one is likely to find.

Bold Entrepreneur: A Life Of James B. Duke by Robert F. Duren (Emeritus Professor of History, Duke University) is the scholarly biography of the prominent businessman who created the globe-spanning British-American Tobacco Company at the turn of the twentieth century. Robert Duke's labors, loves, and legacy are all deftly chartered in this meticulously researched and impeccably presented portrait, which unflinchingly presents the good with the bad.

I enjoyed this book because the author obviously likes and respects Benjamin Franklin so the story of how he flew the kite is one of a celebration of Franklin. As an ex-US History I know the playful mischiefness wit of Franklin is lost in our classrooms. The book does a great job of exposing this other side of Franklin so often lost.

Frank and Joe Hardy track down mercury theives and stolen missiles, plus Chet, their good friend, whose latest hobby happens to be... boomerangs. This book is great for kids.

My copy is the 64-page paperback version, copyright 1975 by Scholastic Inc. An entertaining biography of Benjamin Franklin. Lots of the usual biographical information but with snippets of funny anecdotes sprinkled throughout. Complete with ample colorful illustrations.

I've always been a casefile fan, and I have never read a book better than this! It was fantastic! The Hardys are on a student exchange program, and run into the Gray Man. It turns out an agent needs to rescue him, and the Hardys are the people to do it. An action packed book. In my opinion, NONE OF THE CASEFILES SHOULD HAVE GONE OUT OF PRINT!!!!!

... didn't work then nor with the Volstead Act (the nationwide "experiment" with prohibition that enabled Al Capone and others similiarly situated to prosper.) This is the story of Oklahoma's coming into the United States of America with a "dry" State Constitution. It took an ice storm in the early 1980's to rid it of all those vestiges. The book is a well written study of what happens when the separation of Church & State is a sham. It is important reading today. As George Santayana admonished: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

just like the name it is an encyclopedia, not just in name, so there is no contents just alphabetical order. Also the book does not have one author but all articles are written by military leaders from around the world.
