This book COMBAT CARRIORS is a book for anyone who loves jets and pictures. It tells about whole squaderons that are on carriers today. It shows every squardron patch on each page and tells a brief history on the squardron. COMBAT CARRIERS also tells how the carrier works from the inside and out. It tells how the people on the deck work and respond to the planes and their commanders. The Royal Navy is also included in the book. Excellent pictures are on every page from the F-14 Tomcat to the ES- 3A Vicking. All of the planes on the carrier are in this book. I highly recommend you buy this book if you love jets and aircraft carriers.

I especially enjoyed "Mean Old Man" and "Back in the Saddle".

The way these people had to live is almost unbelivabl.The hardships and the frustrations were real.

As a child, my favorite books (read over and over again) were the Little House series by Laura Ingalls Wilder. In so many ways, this series reminds me of how much I enjoyed experiencing their journeys. The covered wagon women series, is of course on an adult level; but in many ways similar to the Little House experience. Although there are certainly hard times upon the "covered wagon women" with unknown disease and death visible all around them, finding safe water and adequate food, the books are so enlightening as the authors of the journals all are so positive and driven to find a new better place along the Oregon trail and out West. How brave they were to leave everything behind to head to a world no one had experienced. For any of you other former Laura Ingalls fans, and for anyone else fascinated about the women of the west, I would very highly recommend this series.

The yearning for friends and family left at home; the constant concern for the health and safety of spouse and children; the physical challenges; the inconveniences of camp cooking, laundering, bathing -- what was it really like for those women who traveled the Western trails? Told in their exact words, transcribed faithfully, these diaries give you have the rare opportunity to "walk in the shoes" of someone who really lived in those times. This is Vol. 7 in a series edited and compiled by Kenneth Holmes, and I have read and re-read the first ten. I recommend all of them.

Vol. 10 in a series of faithfully transcribed diaries and letters of women who traveled West via covered wagon, this book describes travel at a time when many others were going west via the railroads. Time had altered the circumstances of covered wagon travel: the travelers were not isolated, they had opportunities to avail themselves of hotels, suppliers, etc., along well-marked trails. However, the trip was not without its heartaches and hardships. I recommend reading the entire series, to get a true understanding of the great American Western migration.

A wonderful book on positive thinking in your life.

I've read (almost) all of Ernest Holmes' books, as well as many other metaphysical books in this nature. This is BY FAR, IN MY OPINION, his best one! Much more dramatic, effective and clear. If I had to pick any one of Ernest's books to be my bible, it would be this one. This is the first book he wrote, and I believe that's why it's so good.

I read this book about two years ago for the first time and have reread it since. I really enjoy John R. Ericson's writings and he has a good personality, too. If you or your child like Hank the Cowdog, this is probably one of the best of them all. Email me if you want at sgooch@anet-dfw.com and tell me if this review helped you. Love ya!

I am a 28 year old female who lives in Australia. I have not found many books on self- Mutilation here and came across this book at our local library. I am what they label a 'Cutter', and found this book very helpful to understand why I self-harm and how to stop myself from doing it.

The book is set out in 6 chapters explaining: * What is self-Injury? * Who self-Injures and Why do they do it? * Self-Mutilation and Related Disorders * Treatment and Therapies * Helping Yourself Stop Self-Injury * Helping Someone Who self-Injures These chapters are full of detail, the most helpful to me were the last two chapters, it especially talks about how to tell friends and family about your Self-Injury, which was the hardest thing to do for me. After reading the book it made me feel like a real person again and that I have an illness that I share with many other people in the world.

The book also tells of others experiences in Self-Injury and why they came to do it. This illness can happen to all classes of people it talks of well know people like Jonny Depp and the late Princess Diana and what they went through.

I would reccommend this book to all that Self-Harm and all those family members and friends who love and want to help there loved one to overcome this. It has some very good advice on these things and expresses how support is so important, instead of ridicule and ultimatums people with these illnesses need love and understanding.

Please buy this book if you want to overcome this illness it has helped me a great deal to understand me and who I am.
