This book keeps the the reader in suspense throughout the whole book. The Unknown killer keeps you guessing at their identity to the very end and then suddenly takes a drastic twist. I highly recommend this book!

Someone gave us this book as a baby gift and we've been reading it to our son for some time now. He really enjoys it; it provides a nice description of feelings in a context in which a child can comprehend. Our son is too young to understand the definitions of emotions, as he is only 16 months old, but it has a very peaceful rhythm to it, is very beautifully illustrated, and really holds his attention. It's a great book to add to your child's library, as it is one that can be used through ages 4-5 years old, since that's about when they might understand more about feelings and emotions.

This is another great study of human nature by Neva Coyle. Neva writes about how each member of a family handles life changes. I was drawn into the novel and felt like one of their family. I felt their concern. I felt their peace/strength as these concerns were given to God in prayer. Neva Coyle writes about a God personal to each of her characters. A God that is concerned and caring not just in crisis but all the time. I am looking forward to the next in this series. The two books - this and "A Door of Hope" - stand alone, yet the reader meets some of the same characters in both books. This is like meeting someone new and you have mutual friends.

A valuable work on how sociology can interact with technological knowledge in the context of everchanging information and computer dependence. Every segment in the search for new solutions about human interaction and understanding is covered to indicate the socioeconomic groups impinging on the need for organisational design.

I Really liked this book it was easy for my little girl to follow along. The pages are oversized and very colorful!! We read the book to my daughters class and all the children enjoyed it. The children could see and participate from the rear of the classroom. The book is set up like a large colorful alphapet flash card. THE CHARACTER LEONARD HAS A NEW AND FRESH PERSONALITY.! THE WHOLE CLASS FELL IN LOVE WITH THE BOOK.

This book has an extraordinary though specialized interest. It is the definitive treatment of one of the less familiar but more interesting Provencal troubadours, a major exponent of the "trobar clus" style, which favored the use of obscure vocabulary, hard-to-match rhyme sounds and sometimes off-the-wall sentiments. The best-know poet in the "trobar clus" style is Arnaut Daniel, thanks to the enthusiasm of Dante (whose "Divine Comedy" put him in Purgatory) and Ezra Pound, who wrote about him and translated him memorably. But Raimbaut deserves equal attention. His poem "Cars, dous e fenhz," brilliantly edited in Provencal and analyzed in English by Pattison, is in structure and content one of the most complex poems I have ever read, and his hilarious "Escotatz, mas no sai que s'es" is, in form, a remote ancestor of our modern talking blues. I put on a search for this book to test the breadth and depth of Amazon's book listings, and I am deeply impressed to see it listed; even more impressed because it is out of print and therefore, presumably, of rather marginal commercial intererst. My copy of the first edition has become quite tattered, and I hope a new edition is being prepared.

I recently picked up a copy of "Listen to the Whistle" and found it to be quite informative. I live in Kingston, NY which was the WVRR's northern terminus and still remember the trains rolling off the WV onto the NYC's West Shore line. The book pin pointed specific areas along the line and has allowed me to locate the sites of stations and bridges along the route. I think this book is wonderful. J.D.

As a child growing up in Los Angeles, I knew the Thomas Brothers map to be always a household "must" and quite a special and unique institution, really. No citizen of L.A. should be without one, especially if one really wants to get to know the city. I myself spent countless hours in "exploring" in the map, and quite frankly was turned into a person who can find anything in any city and who truly became an "explorer" of sorts. That is, my adventures in the map were always followed by the real thing -- I'd hop on the good old RTD bus and head out to find it for real. I credit the Thomas Brothers for helping to make me the "can do," problem solving, adventurous person that I am today. On a recent visit to L.A., I spent a little time with the map again and noted that it now shows, with pink lines, the property lines of the old Spanish "ranchos." Wow! Absolutely fascinating! You can see how those property lines developed into main streets and city boundaries. Highly recommended! Every major city should have a Thomas Brothers, but then it might not be so special and unique!

In "The Maiden's Sword," Book two of the "Seekers" series, author Ethel Herr develops her two main characters, Pieter-Lucas and his wife Aletta, from immature youths into fully developed adults through the magic of historical fiction. Set in the sixteenth century of Holland, these two lovers are forced to choose between the laws of their church and homeland and the eternal laws of God. Pieter-Lucas accepts the dangerous employment of a messenger for his soverign, Willem van Orange. This places his life in danger and he is forced to rely on his strength in a living Savior to rescue him from despair. Aletta uses her gifts as a "healer lady," gifted in the use of herbal medicines, to help wounded soldiers. She too puts his life at risk and grows in maturity as she relies on Jesus to give her strength and courage. Their Through the birth of their son, they both realize the magnificence of God's gift of life and use the gift to overcome the adversity in their life.

A wonderful book written by an author who clearly understands human frailty, both mental and physical, and the fundamental difference a caring physician can make in the lives of those he touches. I was so impressed at the simple eloquence of the stories. Each one is affecting without any artifice and each character is hard to part with as the book progresses. A highly recommended and positive exploration of the human condition.
