Kendall Haven is an incredible storyteller! His stories have made our car trips, with two boys, amazingly peaceful and full of laughter...thankfully replacing the overused song tapes my husband and I have grown so tired of! Kendall Haven is a storyteller who knows how to touch the minds of children and the hearts of adults. Be sure to check out "Killer Brussel Sprouts" and "Fathers and Sons" for additional stories to tap your imagination. I am excited to get all of his other tapes!

An essential read for anyone interested in their own health, or the health of others. Cleverly written to ensure that all levels of readers from novices to medical experts will enhance their knowledge and understanding of how the body fights and recovers from disease. It covers the basic functioning of the immune system and leads on to discussing leading edge issues such as the fight against AIDS, cancer and the role of vaccines and vaccinations. I thoroughly enjoyed, and benefited from reading this book, and whole-heartedly recommend it to others.

This book is great. Charles Carrin doesn't just know about the Holy Spirit, he knows Him. After you read this book you will want to get to know Him too. If you are wanting more of a hunger for God or already have it, get this book it's great.

I tracked down this book and read it, because after seeing Ragtime (musical) I realized I didn't know about Evelyn Nesbit and the "murder of the century." I'm so glad my curiosity led me to this particular book. It tells the story of the three main characters in the famous murder, but also tells the story of the time they lived in. Reading the book gave me a sense of knowing much more clearly a time in our American history. One gets a stong awareness of the free-wheeling expansiveness and frantic growth in New York City at the turn of the Century. It was fun and interesting to encounter three such unique personalities, and see how being placed in that particular historical moment affected their life pathways. Whatever his personal pathology, Stanford White, was an astoundingly energetic, creative, and productive person. And it is amazing how having $40 million enabled wife abuser and murderer Harry Thaw, who seems to have been "crazy as a BetsyBug", to run loose and live as he pleased.

This is the Real McCoy, not just another pretty picture book. While the pictures are as stunning as we've become accustomed to expect in high quality, food-oriented books these days, it's the recipes that define this extraordinary work.

The author, herself a Floridian, has exercised her native sense of balance in assembling a unique complement of South Florida's finest chefs - some very well known and some on the "up" ramp of their careers - to create the cultural mosaic which, in fact, IS South Florida.

Each of the recipes has been tested many times for home kitchen preparation, making this a very practical volume as well as a legitimate teaser to entice you to the establishments of the chefs themselves.

And how many "producers" like Ms. Stuart are capable of starring in their own production like she is - by contributing her own recipes to fully balance the content of her work?

You won't need any other book to understand, appreciate, prepare and enjoy the unique cuisine of South Florida. This book's food will make you feel the sand in your shoes and the salt air in your hair. You'll swear that you're in the Florida tropics already. And your guests for whom you prepare the recipes will surely request more.

This is the first real tribute to South Florida's diverse, exciting and totally unique cuisine. I highly recommend it.

If you're tired of seeing your children come home from school mid-November wearing those awful construction paper hats and mock indian feather bonnets, do yourself a favor and BUY THIS BOOK! (Do the teacher a favor -- buy one for her, and maybe one for your school library, too.) Waters and Kendall have joined together again to explode the myths that currently abound in the land of kid-lit. The dialogue for Resolved (pilgrim) and Dancing Mocasins (Wampanoag) is formal, yet easy to understand, and the accompanying photographs are wonderfully rich and vivid.

If you are a person looking for your family history from Ritchie County, West Virginia you will be amazed how fun this book is to read. Miss Lowther writes in a style that is very compeling She has an amazing way to tell about the births , marriages , deaths without sounding repetive. It makes you want to look for evidence of your own family as one of the pioneers of this county. The amazing part is that she wrote from a wheel chair because of an accident from a spirited poney in her twenties. It took her eight years to write this book. I know these things since I am the great, great niece of the author.

This is a wonderful guide for the inflatable or RIB boat owner. It provides answers to all the questions you have always wondered about, but could never find anyone to answer. If you own an inflatable, you need this book

To view the Minneapolis Institute of Arts current exhibit, "A Japanese Legacy: Four Generations of Yoshida Family Artists," is like entering into 100 years of modernization in Japanese art history. The catalogue for the exhibit, being sold here, conveys the same sense. What we see is not artists who repeat traditional cultural forms in spite of Japan's modernization. But just the opposite, members of a single family who step confidently into Japan's future, using their artistic genius to bring the modern world into Japan and Japanese sense of beauty to the rest of world. What an astonishing exchange and transformation takes place from one generation to the next. Maybe art history itself is on display in an exhibition like this. In any case this is a really interesting read.
