This book is amazing in its art form and in its text. It takes the reader from surgery in the past, to the present day and what lies in the future. The illustrations are fabulous. I really liked using this book to do my research and I recommend it to everybody.

First rate tour guide of Midwestern and Southwestern crime scene sites of all our favorite 1930's bank robbing outlaws: Dillinger, Pretty Boy Floyd, Baby Face Nelson, Bonnie and Clyde, the Barker-Karpis gang, Machine Gun Kelly, plus other now forgotten but major figures such as Harvey Bailey and Wilber Underhill. Lots of great historical photos plus the sites as they appear today. Want the lowdown on your hometown's most famous bank robbery or shootout? It's probably here. Also includes neat chronologies and a tribute to the lawmen killed. For the novice it's a great introduction to the Gangster Era and for the serious researcher it's both a worthwhile tool and a nice addition to the true crime library.

Highly recommended for family, school, and community original picturebook collections, Ethel Pochocki's truly delightful story is enchantingly brought to life with gentle, color illustrations by Mary Beth Owens.

This is the story of the larger-than-life hero of the Welsh, Owen Glendower. The story takes place in the late 14th and early 15th centuries. The story is told by several narratives of main characters in the novel such as: Geoffrey Chaucer, Lady Hanmer of Flintshire-later his wife, Griffith Lloyd-Owen's bard among other characters. Owen is the last Welsh Prince of Wales with a personality and physical presence that is striking for a man, from what was considered a wild and subject courntry of England.

He struggles with his desire for peace while at the same time he wages war on England to recognize Wale's independence. A complex, exciting story of a man who would be king of Wales, but really didn't want to.

This is an out-of-print books, however I found a copy easily enough, and is well worth the effort and time to read. Like all of Rofheart's books they are narratives of several characters, some historical, others fictional.

Though Owen is in no sense an easy read, here is a work with a profundity that makes any amount of struggle well worth the effort. One senses, in the author a deep personal spirituality and an intense devotion to his subject. Though the work is several hundred years old it anticipates much of the modern discussion and no important issue is skirted. Owen provides a deep and finely nuanced treatment of Christ for the advanced reader. The title well captures the content of this book.

A must buy IMO!

I think "Grasper" is a great book. I'm only seven and I never had to stop once. If you want a book with good illustrations and pictures...Grasper's the one!

I have always loved the game of baseball. The subtle intricacies, the speed, and the skill of the players. However, my favorite aspect of the sport is its incredible complexity. While the manager is mostly responsible for the strategy in today's game, in the past the catcher was the man in charge. This book covers all the greats, from Bill Dickey to Johnny Bench, with many more in between. They take a look at promising catchers of today like Ivan Rodriguez and Mike Piazza as well. If you have any interest in the backstops of baseball, you will most likely enjoy this book. While catchers don't always get their due, they are an integral part of a successful baseball team, and this book takes a look at the best. The book is well written and concise, but don't let that mislead you. I don't want to imply that the book is childish or "light". Quite the opposite in fact. This book takes a good hard look at what I feel is the most involved position in the great game of baseball. I would heartily recommend this book to anyone.
