Dingoes at Dinnertime (Magic Tree House #20)
Published in Library Binding by Bt Bound (September, 2000)
Authors: Mary Pope Osborne and Sal Murdocca
Average review score:

Longest and best adventure Jack and Annie have had!
"Dingoes At Dinnertime" is the book where they free Teddy from his spell, as you probably know already. It all starts when Annie hears Teddy's barking, then they go to the tree house, go to Australia, and then begin their adventure. It's too much to say, but you can't miss this one. So read this one and enjoy it!!!

Almost The Greatest Book I've Ever Read
I thought this was the greatest adventure that Jack and Annie ever had so far. I liked it because therer was a lot of action and it was fun to read. This is my second-favorite series of books. I like them even more than Goosebumps. It would be pretty hard to get better than Magic Treehouse, even though I like Harry Potter better, but that's all.

Dingoes at Dinnertime
I was almost as excited as my 8 year old daughter when she finished reading this wonderous adventure, completing the four part series to break Teddy's spell. It had been tough getting her to read, until I found the Magic Tree House series. She really enjoyed the adventure and the involvement of animals as characters in the story. I like the fact that at the end of each story is "More Facts for You and Jack" - reinforcing the educational elements of the story.


Dinosaurs

Read This Book And You Will Be Crazy For Dinosaurs!
This book is a good book.I learned alot about dinosaurs.This book inspired me to love and study dinosaurs.Now everybody says I'm crazy for dinosaurs!This book talks about plant eaters and meat eaters.It has pictures of dinosaur skelatons.It has lots of theries on how the dinosaurs disapeard.So read it!

I Love the Magic Tree House Series!
This is my favorite book in the whole Magic Tree House series, because they wrote about a new dinosaur called Giganotosaurus. It was even bigger than T-Rex, and if they find more fossils of Giganotosaurus, it will be the king of dinosaurs. I think it was funny when Annie pretended to be Dromiceiomimus because she looked silly with huge eyes!

Fun, entertaining and educational.
What a wonderful idea. Mary Pope and Will Osborne share the research that they put in to writing "Dinosaurs Before Dark" with their readers in a fun and entertaining way. My 8-year old daughter has devoured this book and "Knights and Castles : A Nonfiction Companion to the Knight at Dawn". These books are not only instructing her on the particular subject of each book, but they are also teaching her how to do research on her own. They also build vocabulary and fill her head with wonderous thoughts and questions. I highly recommend this series to every young reader and their parents.


Bunky's Adventure at Sea
Published in Paperback by American Literary Press (January, 1998)

Average review score:

Book Review
Bunky is a sailor who is curious and eager to explore the high sea.A child who readsthis book is given hope that they are never alone. It also gives children the courage toexplore not only the sea but life itself.

Educational...and entertaining
I purchased a book for my grandchild on the recommendation of a friend.As I was reading,I found myself getting totally involved in the story.. and disappointed that it ended so soon! I found Mizar delightful and entertaining as he helped poor Bunky through his "misadventure". Afterward, we colored in the book... our own visions of the story. I am looking forward to the next "star story" and Mizar's next adventure. The only problem I see with the book, is that my grandchild and her friends are in love with Mizar and want him! I am looking to see if there are any toys out yet, as the character Mizar is so lovable we all want to be his... Special Friend!

Great story and learning tool for children
If you're looking for a book to keep your child's interest and learn something from it, this is the one. It shows the children that taking things upon themselves without help or guidence could be dangerous but when thought out properly and discussed with others, could turn out to be a great experience. This could also interest the children by wanting to learn more about the stars


The Collected Works of Ramana Maharshi
Published in Paperback by Red Wheel/Weiser (January, 1997)
Author: Arthur Osborne
Average review score:

Indispensable
When I read this book I was interested in the basic teachings and thought I would skip through the poetry. I surprised myself by being able to resonate with the sublime feelings and simple words of Maharshi`s. Much of the teachings do reach you through this seemingly exotic poems. Give them a chance too.

A Book of Silence
The book's original Language was in Tamil(fom South India ) and this book was translated in lot many languages.But the REAL language of this book is a language that one speaks in TRANCE. Called as the language of SAMADHI .... What to tell of such a Great compilation ,words which came from an Awakened Being. This Book alone is simply enough to clear our doubts and put us into awakening . Our Mind simply Melts and only the REALITY REMAINS ....

Who am I?
The story of Ramana Maharsi is one of the great tales of the twentieth century, and the tale of one of India's great sages. This work gives a glimpse of the world of India at its best--and most mysterious. Worth comparing with J.G.Bennett's The Long Pilgrimmage, the tale of Shivapuri Baba, and Rajneesh's Glimpses of a Golden Childhood.


Digital Photography: Answers! Certified Tech Support (Osborne's Answers Series)
Published in Paperback by McGraw-Hill (30 October, 1998)
Author: Dave Johnson
Average review score:

Buy this book if you're new to digital photography and graph
Being new to computers, graphics programs and digital photography I have had to rely on instruction manuals which have more often than not been inadequate. When I ordered my camera I also ordered a book specific to the camera because I had read that the instruction manual and CD were inadequate or impractical. When I purchased PSP I bought an additional instruction book. All seem to assume prior camera or graphics knowledge. When I started to read Digital Photography Answers! I knew I had found what I needed. It's like having a knowledgeable and patient friend here. The book is extremely well laid out and indexed and seems to assume that the reader is intelligent but new to the genre, and includes basic information in addition to more detailed info. If you're new to digital photography and struggling with your graphics program (or even if you're not), this book is wonderful.

Good overview
The book explains how digital cameras work, what the differences are between various technologies and gives you ideas about what to look for in purchasing a digital camera. There are chapters explaining the various camera options and their proper use and comparing them to 35 mm tools. There's information on composition and lighting and other standard photographic concepts, but the author also looks into batteries and battery life, photo manipulation software (Paint Shop Pro is the program used in the descriptions), incorporating photos into Power Point and scanning photos. The book would be perfect for someone who had a little bit of experience using a scanner or digital camera and uses Paint Shop Pro. For others, there is still a good deal of solid information within.

Great book, has info on almost everything!
I've had a 35mm camera for years and got a digital camera recently. I love this book -- I've read others but this one had all the info I was looking for. It talked about compositional skills, plus how to take and edit digital pictures. The fact that I've framed a picture from my camera on the wall I pretty much owe to this book.


The Crisis of the Modern World (Guenon, Rene. Works.)
Published in Paperback by Sophia Perennis Et Universalis (August, 2001)
Authors: Rene Guenon, Arthur Osborne, Marco Pallis, and Richard C. Nicholson
Average review score:

Worth Reading
Guenon became a pariah in his own homeland for opposing what he perceived as the downward existential trend of his time. Guenon's critique of modernity, despite its occasional dogmatic over-tone, is worth reading for anyone concerned with the very future of human existence.

a teacher for modern times
Man, under the pretext of conquering the earth, has lost touch with metaphysical reality [ Julius Evola ].

This book should be part of the national curriculum.

An Amazing Work
This book is very special, in that it forms a perfect introduction to Tradional thought and critique. People used to the spirt-negating attitudes of our times may be both shocked and annoyed at the writer's conclusions. Others may find their beliefs and basic feelings clearly articulated for the very first time.

Guenon never uses the apologetics about religion and spiritual matters so common in almost every book on these subjects. he assumes the reader shares his beliefs and views and wastes no time trying to convince us that God exists, spirit is superior to matter, or that there is value in religion. Once reading this refreshing prespective, is hard not to be changed.

This Book Is #1!
Earthquake in the Early Morning
By: Mary Pope Osborne

Have you wondered what it would be like to be in one of the biggest earthquakes in the world? This book is about two kids named Annie and Jack. They go back in time to 1906.The kids have to find something to lend, because they have to save Camelot.
You can picture when the city gets on fire in California, because the story says, "The fires raged for three days, nearly destroying all of San Francisco. Over 28,000 buildings burned down."
The author of this story teaches you to always be prepared.
I like this book because it has adventures.
Read this book to find out what happens at the end. Will Annie & Jack get back to the treehouse & save Camelot?

Earthquake in Early Morning
Once there lived two kids named Jack and Annie.They had a magic tree house.They had to go to San Francisco .When they were at San Francisco there was an earthquake.

Adventure and Knowledge "Shaken" Together
Once again Mary Pope Osborne had conjured up another exciting adventure for Jack and Annie. Young readers can travel with them on their quest for the last item they need to save Camelot.
As a teacher, I am always impressed with the knowledge students can gain as they read these adventure stories. Mary Pope Osborne includes interesting facts and real-life situations in her stories. In this book children can use their imaginations to get a feeling of what it was like in California during the big earthquake and at the same time read about the true experiences of the people and actual events.
This and other Magic Tree House books are great for in-class whole group readings or individual readings.

THE book for J2EE server performance
I was looking for a good book that can help me not only learn Application Server performance tuning and benchmarking rather help me in my day development activities.

I found this is THE book,which meets my needs.

Excellent Read
I was looking for a book to help me understand how regular performance testing is performed so that I could construct a plan to do Denial of Service security testing. I knew nothing about performance testing at all. The books really well laid out, structured, has great examples and is really methodical. It was perfect !

J2EE Performance Testing with BEA WebLogic Server
It was a great book! Had lots of information about Performance Testing. When coupled with the power of Panorama(TM) by Altaworks.com, it is incredible.


Polar Bears Past Bedtime

Average review score:

Polar Bears Past Bedtime
This book was a good learning book, but still it showed more miracles and wonder, but there's no doubt it's a learning book. Otherwise, I don't know what else to say about this book, and I'm glad because I don't want to spoil a single surprise.

Polar Bear Perfect!
This book was fun. I like it when Jack and Annie go to the Artic. They have to act liked polarbears to get off some thin ice.I liked this book because it was full of adventure.

Polar Bears
It's icicle city when the Magic Tree House whisks Jack and Annie to the freezing Arctic tundra. Luckily, a seal hunter on a dogsled (led by huskies) lends them warm clothes and takes them back to his igloo (which in Inuit, means house.) They run out to feed the huskies and Jack accidentally takes masks that the seal hunter made. Annie finds some polar bears and they play tag with them. Jack suggests they go back to the igloo, but Annie and the polar bears lead him down a little hill. Then, unluckily the ice starts to crack. A female polar bear (which happens to be the mother of the polar bears that Jack and Annie found) comes to rescue them. Jack reads in the reasearch guide that even though female polar bears can weigh up to 750 lbs., they can slide on very thin ice. So, the female polar bear takes the cubs and slides on the ice. Jack and Annie put on the masks and slide on the ice, too. When they get up the hill, they see a burst of red, green, and purple in the sky (which happens to be the Northern Lights.) But after Jack read that fact, the lights disappeared. The seal hunter finds them and takes them back to the igloo. Then, Jack and Annie think they've solved the riddle. The riddle is: I cover what's real, and hide what's true. But sometimes I bring out the courage in you. What am I? They think it's a mask, and they're right! But before they can go home, they find another riddle. Soon, they solve it.


After the Rain: Virginia's Civil War Diary, Book Two (My America)
Published in Paperback by Scholastic (April, 2002)
Authors: Mary Pope Osborne and Will Osborne
Average review score:

After the war. . .
In the final months of the Civil War, Virginia, now 10, and her family move to Washington, D.C., where the cold winter brings uncertainty and hardship. But just as things start to improve ­ her father gets a job and the war finally comes to an end ­ the tragic assassination of Ginny's beloved President Lincoln occurs. In this, her second diary chronicling the Civil War, Ginny learns that life is constantly changing.

This "My America" diary of ten-year-old Virginia Dickens gives us a glimpse of the nation's capital during the Lincoln presidency--the joy at his election, the despair when he dies; the challenges of finding work for newcomers like Virginia's father and even Virginia herself. The book is easy to read with large text and a diary format, as well as historical notes and pictures at the end. It is a touching though not adventurous story that gives life to the Civil War era off the battlefield.

Also recomended: All the other Dear America books
