I saw Aida on Broadway and was impressed by the music, the acting, the scenery, and the dancing. When I discovered this book, I found a way to relive the moment. I enjoyed looking through the photos of this book and showing them to people who have not yet seen the play on Broadway. I also enjoyed reading all the behind the scenes comments by the actors and actresses. All in all, I have found this book a great way to cherish one of the greatest musicals on Broadway.

This is an excellent book and very informative. It tells you about all of the changes that the show went through. It has wonderful pictures. They're all in color and they bring back memories of the show. I had had the good fortune of seeing the show with the entire original cast still intact. There were no understudies that day and I was so happy. I'm still trying to remember where that scrim in Fortune Favors the Brave came from. My only complaint is that they didn't tell the name of the man who played Radames before Adam Pascal took over in Chicago. Buy this book. You will thank me.

My students enjoy these activities. There are plenty of suggestions that are appropriate for my junior high classes, and many could be adapted for other grade levels. Keep this near your "Substitute Teacher" folder--it's a lifesaver!

I highly recommend this book for teachers searching for the perfect way to fill those perilous few minutes after a test or before the bell on Friday. These activities allow students to think creatively and critically, and to draw upon other students' thoughts and suggestions. Because these activities are designed as games, my students absolutely love them. I offer them as extra credit; unlike a typical word search, these games have intellectual value. They focus on spelling, brainstorming, and creative writing skills, among others, but don't tell the students! They'd never believe that intense thinking and fun could co-exist!

Rice's book is written with the layperson in mind, not the scholar. And this isn't a bad thing, since most apologetic material today seems to be directed towards scholars, and is simply over the head of the average person. His section on hyper-Calvinism isn't as meaty as I would like it to be, but again, Rice isn't writing to the scholar (for a more scholarly treatment of the issue, read "The Other Side of Calvinism" by Laurence Vance, or "Chosen But Free" by Norman Geisler). The books contains quite a lengthy section on Roman Catholicism (including a rather humorous letter to Dr. Rice from a Catholic priest), and the sections on the various cults are worth reading. The section on baptismal regeneration was the most helpful for me.

This book was the ultimate help for me to recognize the false teachers and to help good sincere Christians to realize about mistakes in misinterpreted or invented doctrine, every study being made in the light of the Scriptures as clear, honest and plain as only brother Rice was able to do it, a great book that every true Bible believing Christian should read and have at home.

It's a good book for the people who like Anne Rice.

James Charlton's marvelously wicked collection of the cattiest, sharpest, wittiest criticisms of writers by writers is a hoot! The book is chocked to the brim with quote after quote of brilliantly crafted--if barbarous--quips about some of our most celebrated writers. If you've ever wondered what was so great about a particular author, you're not alone!

You'll laugh a lot (and often wince) when you read this book. There's hardly a dull quotation!

Rice is creating an ouvre of work with his tales of Grandma Mugwump and her odd family of incestuous vampires and body lovers, especially a boy turned into a girlie, Doug Rice, and his sexy sister, Cady.

This collection of short stories, prose poems, critifictions, and poetry is perfect sit down reading on strange nights in strange cities just before mysterious reality waves hit and you have a lucid moment of missing time.

You may find yourself in a taxi cab, not knowing how you got there. You may find yourself reading the text of a novel you are writing, only to discover that there's a passage you did not write, and it is in Don Webb's style!

Or you may reach down your pants only to discover that you are no longer a boy, but a girl!

You may be sitting in a hotel sceening room at 5 AM, watching a porno movie, and have the hotel staff come in and give you strange looks.

You may wind up in a Mexican restaurant during Happy Hour with the horrid feeling that all your co-horts have been arrested.

You may have a fund time reading this book.

Pay attention to the name Doug Rice. You soon will be hearing a great deal about him. He produces some of the most utterly disturbing and surprising prose I have ever seen. "Cuntboy" is no exception. He stands out among the current darlings of extreme, experimental dark fiction . What sets him apart is the beauty of his words. His style is rapidly addicting, making you read, opening desires you never knew you had. This stuff sticks to you. His words feel like curses. Once you have read him, you are haunted.

Mr Rice favorite subject matter is the sexual prison of our flesh. His characters evolve before your eyes, morphing beyond cliché stereotypes of male/female, gay or straight. Sexual labeling becomes painfully inadequate in the world of Doug Rice. He opens up the doors to If you are enjoy experimental works and writing that takes risks, this book is for you. If you are a fan of dark-fiction (OK, "horror" ) then you should check this book out. You don't know what you are missing! But be

This is a great story for teaching how something as small as a grain of rice can earn a farmer a marriage to the princess, and a kingdom. Multiplication is used in the book, and can spring into a math lesson for teachers and parents alike. It is most likely to interest 4th and 5th grade children.

Multiplicaton pays the bills .He wants to marry the princess,but he is a peasant. See how Pong Lo wins the right to marry her by using his math skills. Wonderful story about an old culture and about how smart people are regardless of their social stature.Ahhhhh....yes ! DON'T FORGET THE RICE.

When I ordered this book, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Since it was a bargain book, I didn't expect a whole lot, but I'm always looking for a new cookbook. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived.

The book isn't thick, which is kind of nice. There are 8 recipe sections, soups, salads, main dishes, side dishes, breads and cereals; and desserts, as well as an introduction, a glossary of grain types, an index, and a conversion table. The glossary of grain types is very nice, it include colour pictures of the grains, as well as a short description of each.

There are 40 recipes in the book, and I counter at least 25 colour photos of the dishes, and most of these photos take up at least half a page, if not more. The dishes all look fantastic, and even those without pictures have names that sound wonderful, such as chedder cheese grits with green onions and garlic, or spicy corn-meal covered catfish with cilantro salsa.

The recipes all seem fairly straightforward, and don't seem to involve a lot of complicated work or unusual ingredients. Every receipt centers around some kind of grain that is simple. You're not going to need to go to the exotic foods store to pick up most of these grains, just go to the local store and pick up your oatmeal, cornmeal, rye, or other grain. The author mentions a few of these grains can be found at a health food store, so there is a chance you'd be able to find them in the organic foods section of a large supermarket.

Being only 86 pages in length it is a rather smallish cookbook but here it's definitely quality over quantity that counts! Starting with an intorduction and detailed glossary (with photos) of all the grains, Miriam goes on to describe around 46 recipes (from soups through salads, main courses and some great desserts) all accompanied by "laid-back" but mouth-watering full color professionally styled photos. And the slim volume is so... so... sexy actually! Sinuous and attractive. It does make a great difference that it was in fact genuinely Printed In Italy!!! A nice volume for any type of cook. Am now searching for the other titles in the Gourmet Pantry Cookbook series.

This author certainly knows the subject matter of this work and offers much in the way of descriptive background and recipes.

A favorite from the book is the Kesksou Bil Djedg (Chicken couscous) a staple dish of Algeria. It is so good and healthy with vegiies and all the spices of this region.

Included also are the typical fare of the area, tagines, and bastilla.

I prefer Wolfert's works on this fare.

I consult this book after just about every trip to the farmer's market. It's an excellent source of fairly exotic, easy to prepare dishes, almost every one of which turning out a great success. Several lamb stews, one with dried prunes and raisins, another with parsley and fennel, kumin-seasoned carrots, couscous with chickpeas and onions and stuffed cornish hens with apricots, almonds and honey have all received rave reviews at our table. No recipes are overly elaborate, the problem is, to not become overly enthusiastic and try to cook up a whole chapter at a time.

If you'd like to machine small metal parts and never have touched a lathe or a drill press, I'd think this is about as good a place as any to start. Not for the advanced professional, but rather a good place to launch building your own model train parts, etc. Realistic projects in terms of beginner skills but not very interesting ones.

This book is an excellent source of many varied machine shop projects. It is written such that whether amateur machinist or advanced you can use these projects. It is a valuable source of machine tips, practices, devices and procedures all under guise as many projects for lathes, drill presses, and tool making.
