Hine Sight is a collection of Darlene Clark Hine's essays on black women's history. She is one of the most prominent historians in the field and has helped to define it, which makes the reading of this book all the more interesting. The essays printed here have already been printed numerous times in other journals and anthologies, a testimony to their (and her) importance to the field. It is a wonderful introduction to black women's history, with both theoretical and historical articles included. Because it is a collection of articles, it becomes slightly repetitious - so for an advanced student of black women's history, I would recommend a look at one of Hine's monographs.

"History of the Carolina & North-Western Railway" is an immensely- interesting and informative work.

Matthew C. Bumgarner, a lifelong rail enthusiast, examines 140 years of the rise and fall and rise again of this resilient shortline railway, which once had nearly 150 miles of track through North and South Carolina.

From its prosperous days in the early 1900s to its final years in the late 1940s, the C & N-W carried everything from people and freight to logs and livestock.

Bumgarner writes with warmth and concision--a prose style that marvelously matches the book's crisp maps and large, historic photographs.

Rail fans--especially rail historians--will love this vital work.

this book deals with tha end of the civil war, 1865. you would find how the reconstruction took place, how slavery end, how the people suffer with many changes, how some presidents and government political wasn't all that helpful in restoring the united states in those years of battle. you would get a better understanding on how the presidents and political parties put a stop to those hard times people face, in those day. I use this book for a history class and I really learn about american history.

This is a great guide if starting a business is your dream or your current task. It covers, in brief, most of the questions I had. It also contains sample forms, addresses for obtaining forms, checklists... in short, more than you are likely to need. O'Neill and Warda also provide guidance for agencies to contact and additional books to read. The fact that it is written for one state is reassuring. This is not EVERYTHING you need to know, but it is a starting place for the nearly overwhelming number of things a new business owner needs to consider. It also helps the novice entrepreneur organize the process. I found this guide very helpful.

I just finished The Hunt For The Four Brothers recently, and I enjoyed all 151 pages of it! This book is very special. When I read the title at first, I thought that the Four Brothers would be humans. But after I read the book, I understand what they really are. They actually are gems. Isn't that astonishing? In the story, Joe and Frank have to investigate to find the gems? In a word, this book is very interesting, mysterious and somewhat scary. Ah, now I have to consider to buy a new one. See you.

The book I read was called The Ice-Cold Case by Franklin W. Dixon. The story is about two boys named Joe and Frank Hardy trying to crack a case around Pineview Lake. It all started when the Hardy Boys go to their friend, Sara Kwan's birthday party. The kids that play hockey on the lake got into argument with the fisherman at the lake during the birthday party. During the story bad things happen to the people that live around the lake. The Hardy Boys get attacked many times. Anyone who helps the Hardy Boys gets threatened. The Hardy's think the robberies,attacks, and other bad things are being committed by the same people. I thought the story was O.K. If you like crime storys then read this book. Read this book to find out what will happen to the Hardy Boys.

The Hardy Boys are attending an air show with their friend when a rash of airplane thefts gets them involved in an even deeper mystery involving the theft of $3,000,000.00 worth of rare coins.
The action in this story is non-stop (albeit a bit implausible at times) and the reader is carried right along to the surprising climax.
This book was a real page-turner and had me on the edge of my seat!

I bought this book to tutor one of my kids with. I was there to help explain the concepts, but the book did most of that. We needed a lot of problems to work out and they were right in the book too. This is a great book to teach high school students with.

This book was really well done. It really helped me with a report I was doing on James Weldon Johnson. I learned a lot that I didn't know before, I'm really glad I read it, I'm just sorry it is unavailable. Lanky

A fascinating account of the two years spent at and around Pt. Barrow, Alaska by the Royal Navy captain and crew of the HMS Plover. Tasked to mount a search from the west for the survivors of the ill-fated Franklin expedition, the Plover overwintered at Pt. Barrow for two consecutive years. In so doing, Maguire and his crew became the first Europeans to reside among the approximately 900 Inupiat Eskimos who then inhabited three villages along an eight-mile stretch of the coastline in this remote northwest corner of Alaska. Maguire's journal seems to be an honest account of his relationships with the Eskimos, which vacillated between strained distance and close friendships. It seems that the relationship at any given moment largely depended on the Eskimos' practice of stealing valuable items from the Plover. For instance, while frozen in the ice for the winter the Plover's sails went missing from the vessel's nearby storage shack. Maguire had to threaten force (using the ship's cannon) to secure the return of the canvas, which was in the process of being cut up in the village. On the other hand, Maguire represented the enlightened and educated leadership found in the British navy, and his fair treatment of the Inupiats was remembered among them as long as 35 years after his departure.
