Another beautifully written novel by Eric Haugaard! He has used in this book his wonderfully discriptive writing style. This story is exciting and unique as it takes the reader to the sea during the Civil War. I absolutely loved this book, and I'll be reading it again and again!

Paradise Lost can be a very difficult poem to read. However, this edition, which contains only the first two books (a good starting point), has a commentary section which was extremely helpful to me as a first time Milton reader. Many of the allusions are clarified to cater t the modern day reader who hasn't yet grown accustomed to Milton's style.

Dr. Van Dyke presents a good discussion of the role of perturbation methods to fluid mechanics. Topics include an overview of perturbation methods (matched asympotic expansions, successive approximations, strained coordinates, etc.) as well a broad range of applications ranging from low speed viscous (Stokes) flows to hypersonic flows. I found this book far more approachable than other perturbation texts (e.g., Kevorkian & Cole). And, like his renowned "Album of Fluid Motion," the price has been kept low. It should be on the shelf of any serious fluid dynamicist.

This book traces the history of the Army's elite infantry fighting force-- the U.S. Rangers. Unlike today's soldiers that bear their name, these troops were not airborne commandos; rather, a highly trained and motivated all volunteer unit comprised of predominately "tread heads"-- or mechanized soldiers from the Army's First Division. Despite their lineage, these soldiers earned their baptism under fire at Dieppe and continued to spearhead many of the American led assaults throughout the rest of the war.

In a language readable by the youngest of readers, Shapiro traces the history of the Rangers from their conception until the wars end, focusing primarily upon the 1st, 3d, and 4th batallions.

Shapiro relates a great story; however, this book is not for the historian interested in tracing the author's work. The book does not contain footnotes and the author offers no resource list in which one could follow to ascertain his/her own impression.

Still, the book contains an interesting storyline and would make an excellent supplement to other, resource rich, materials for a high school audience. Moreover, at only 200 pages, the book is able to give the inattentive reader the "down and dirty" on American military involvement in the second war.

As a student at William Jewell college I have read this text several times. I find that Chance and Horne's survey of the Bible provides an intriguing departure point for further biblical study, be it of a historiocritical or theological nature.

i would lie to review the book Reumatic fever

While not as famous as Lewis and Clark, Henry Schoolcraft conducted the first of his many expenditions with similar care and attention to detail. One needs to excuse some of the poetic descriptions. The book gives an excellent insight into the very early development of the region shortly after the Voyage of Discovery.

The author has considerable personal research with Schoolcraft's travels as a college professor leading field trips on portions of the expedition. The most helpful is the author's appendix which keys the days of travel to current day locations.

For anyone studying the Missouri and Arkansas Ozarks, this is a must-have. It provides the only contemporary vision of this part of the United States prior to the rapid development in the years prior to the Civil War.

Hi my name is Jill and I read the book Sacajawea; Her True story by Joyce Milton.. The book was great. It is geared toward first through third grade reading levels, but it is a good read aloud for up to fourth grade. The pictures are very colorful and vivid and the text is simple and easy to understand. The book chronicles the important events of Sacajawea's life, beginning with her childhood. The book also includes maps and symbols that are helpful for additional understanding. I would recommend this book to all primary students who are learning about Sacajawea and/or Lewis and Clark.

Excluding the lengthy epic poems Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained, this Dover Thrift edition provides nearly all of John Milton's poetry that you are likely to encounter, including the 45-page dramatic poem Samson Agonistes.

I recommend this Dover edition, but with some reservation. The price is low, the print is large and easy to read, but the footnotes are sparse. I relied on both a good dictionary for help with archaic words and on Thomas Bulfinch's "The Age of Fable" for aid in unraveling obscure poetic references to Greek and Roman mythology.

If you don't have some familiarity with Shakespeare or other 17th century poets or writers, you might consider an edition with more complete annotation. I suggest either the Oxford World's Classics "Selected Poetry" by John Milton (more extensive footnotes, but somewhat inaccessible in an appendix) or the Everyman edition, "Complete English Poems, Of Education and Aeropagitica" (footnotes at the page bottom, but the print throughout is a bit small.)

The World's Classics "Selected Poetry" by John Milton is virtually a complete collection of his English poetry. The price is low, the font size is quite adequate, and best of all it offers extensive annotation, a real asset to most readers.

The annotation is located in an appendix rather than as footnotes on each page. I first read a page of poetry unaided, moved to the appendix to browse the appropriate "footnotes", and then returned to the page of poetry. This may sound awkward, but it worked well.

Unlike many collections, this edition contained all of Milton's English sonnets, several which I had not encountered before. The lengthy "Paradise Lost" is moderately abridged and a new reader might find this a good way to become acquainted with Milton's epic poem. But a better approach is to read the unabridged Norton edition of "Paradise Lost". Look at the various reader reviews and decide for yourself.

I particularly enjoyed Samson Agonistes, a rather long, but not difficult poem. I suggest first reading the Biblical story of Samson in Judges, Chapters 13-16, to better appreciate Milton's development of this classic tale. The suffering of the blind Samson in captivity is poignant, particularly as Milton himself was blind and aging when he created this remarkable poetic story.
