This is a book I've used in several classes, for students who are returing to college, some after many years of non-academic work. The exercises at the ends of the chapters offer a bridge between the reading and their own writing. I particularly like the chapter on coherence.

An excellent book. Imagine the effect on continental landmasses of ice sheets 10 miles high sitting on top of them! The book has a collection of facts that won't be found in any geological textbook anywhere that I have been able to discover. The question that needs asking is, How come? Of course, anyone familiar with Sagan's and the AAAS's treatment of Velikovsky will understand. The author does not discredit Velikovsky, but does indirectly reinterpret V.'s chronolgy. The book gives a very plausible explanation of eratic boulders found at great distances from accepted ranges of the ice sheets without invoking great tidal waves. Also offers a testable prediction for it major hypothesis: Where oil reserves can reliably be found!

This book is a well researched and, to my personal knowledge, an accurate historical account of these houses. The description of the house that my great grandfather had built for our family was biographically accurate and architectually detailed. Beautifully illustrated. Having personal details of the lives of the people who built these houses adds depth and interest. A wonderful reading experience for people with N.H. roots and interest in turn of the century architecture.

For those who thing that surrealism is some long-dead, incomprehensible, snobbish art movement that ignored the masses, this book is a wake-up call. Surrealism lives, and has been a living, revolutionary and poetic force since 1924, and in America since 1966. This book is collection of essays and papers on forms of popular culture that have been touched by the Marvelous: the writing of H.P.Lovecraft, Krazy Kat comics, the art of Henry Darger, madcap comedy, horror films and literature, the comic art of Basil Wolverton, Isadora Duncan and her proteges, Charles Fort, and much more. The work is all illuminating, casting new light on familar objects. There is also a beautiful selection of art, some intriguing reviews, and a wonderful selection of answers from the surrealist game of 'Time-Travelers'Potlatch', in which one automatically gives a gift to real or imaginary being regardless of their position in the past. Try to find this book out, as it is well worth it. Also look for the recently released 'Surrealism in the USA' issue of Race Traitor, and the soon-to-be-released anthology Surrealist Subversions, from autonomedia. Viva the Surrealist Revolution!

From the Ice Age to the assasination of Olof Palme, Scott digs into every nook and cranny of Sweden's history. The account is blissfully more than political, though that is the backbone of the book. Besides hitting the military conquests, the great kings, etc. The farming life, the culture, the art, literature, and science of Sweden are also major points in this book, perhaps more aptly a history of the Swedish people, rather than just the nation's history.

Of course, Gustav II Adolph and the tragic Karl XII and the Great Northern War are probably the two greatest contributions of the Swedish people to the development of continental Europe, and they are dealt with very well in this book. But, the shoes of an Empire always too large for Sweden, the book reflects more on the progressive and peaceful transitions and compromises that have made Sweden's politics unique in the world, and more recently, almost a miracle. From the alliance of the monarch and the people against the nobility in the policy of land reduction which forever halted feudalism, to the age of freedom in which Sweden experimented with a bourgeoise liberalism, and finally through the gradual peaceful fall of plutocracy into democracy and the welfare state, Sweden has proved itself to be an iconoclast of domestic and foreign policy.

The author(s) *the 1986 revision contains an additional Epilogue* end on a probing discussion of the Welfare state. The great progressive achievement, they find, rests almost solely on the rich culture of Sweden, a conclusion one can hardly disagree with. A great portrait of a brilliant nation!

I like these Hardy Boys trilogies. They have all the excitement of regular Hardy Boys books, but can have more complex plots because they're three times as long.

This book inspires teachers to keep a sharp lookout for bright young students--including those who may not appear "high-ability" at first glance! Students will be happier and more productive both at school and at home if teachers and parents used approaches to learning described in this book. I think it would make a wonderful gift from parents to a teacher at a parent-teacher conference!

When a copy of the SAB is found in Tony's backup, he along with Joe get suspended. Frank takes over the case at school since Joe's not allowed to talk with anybody. The case seems to be somehow connected to the Hockey team. Thsi is a great book with enough action to make you keep on reading.
