This book was absolutely what I have been looking for. It has assisted not only me, but the customers that I work with on a daily basis. Thanks for such great information and Rescue.

The author, sponsored by NEHGS, has written a comprehensive 3 volumne genealogical document of everyone known to have lived in New England between 1620-1633. This book brings many well know sources together for a researcher. Its a 'must have' for anyone with roots in New England!

The book continues the super work of "The Great Migration Begins," published in 1996...

The internet, ancestry CD's and even a lot of the IGI is filled with so much genealogical fantasy that it is always refreshing to see serious scholarship, and nobody has ever done a better job with seventeenth century New England emigrants than Robert Charles Anderson. His Great Migration Project was brilliantly conceived and is being painstakingly carried forward.

Couldn't find this one on the shelves of 5 national booksellers in my area... and only two could order within several weeks to a month. If you find a hard copy, grab it - great coffee table book.

In do research for publicizing Mar 00 Women's History Month activities, someone let me borrow their copy of this book because I like to add quotes to my work and in program scripts. I was delightfully impressed to find quotes completely by women... not necessarily just about women (some of those are not flattering).

32 varied women are portrayed with a brief biography and quotes by them. Interspersed are loads of quotes from numerous women from all walks of life on diverse subjects.

"I'm not a has-been. I'm a will be" Lauren Bacall...

"Don't be afraid to feel as angry or as loving as you can, because when you feel nothing, it's just death" Lena Horne

"If you haven't forgiven yourself something, how can you forgive others?" Delores Huerta

This book explains step by step procedures on canning,preserving and freezing. The recipes are delicious.It also tells you the best way to preserve a particular fruit or vegetable or whether it's worth preserving (i.e. summer squash is NOT worth trying to preserve). I have tried a number of recipes and each one has come out great! I have tried recipes from other books and they just don't compare.

A Bela Coola Indian Chief of the isolated West Coast of Canada, Clayton Mack lived by salmon fishing, ranching, trapping and eventually became the most famous big game hunting guide in his area. He guided the rich and famous including Thor Hierdahl and Joe Brooks. His stories are simultaneously riotous and poignant tales of life amongst grizzlies and the often bizarre 'white hunters' who preyed upon the majestic bears. Written from taped interviews with Mack the book preserves his voice and conveys the essence of life as a native in a land dominated by white people. Honest and unromanticised stories about hunting, the Norht Woods and life as a Native. A unique book.

This book is an ageless gift to those of us to search for the deeper meanings in life. In her book Clark tells a story of growth and self awareness through the eyes of a tree. She weaves a pattern between nature and humanity using symbolism and life lessons we have all experienced and need to understand how to "grow deep not just tall". An easy read, it is full of wisdom, hope, healing and learning how to listen to the inner voice that says "You'll never go wrong if you listen deep inside and say what is in your heart". Thank you Karen.

Andy Anderson, although recently gone to Heaven, but it all together in his book on Sunday School growth. He breathed fresh breath into Arthur Flakes formula.

I give this book to ALL new Sunday School workers! It is next to the Bible as far as I am concerned.
