It helps to answer the questions that are sometimes left unanswered by professionals who deal with the condition on a daily basis. Utilizing the experiences of real life patients, it is interestingly written and clearly explains the disease and options for treatment.

This easy to read, well organized book has a massive amount of information and valuable resources. Most books talk down to the readers or go way over their heads. Anderson relates to the reader and provides just what is needed - practical advice and a good reference manual.

BRING BACK BARKLEY is the 3rd book in my series about Barkley. When I got ready to write it, I decided I wanted the dog to have some crazy adventures with a bird. At first I thought a parrot might be fun because it could talk. But a parrot would be too heavy to land on Barkley's head. Then I thought about a parakeet. But a parakeet would be too small to cause much trouble. When I decided to use a cockatiel, I discovered that my editor owned one of these birds. She was a great help in making the bird become real.

Kate Stone is one of my favorite Civil War diarists. She is an admixture of a great privilege, passionate beliefs, lover of literature, keen social observations and amazing fortitude. Her Civil War was dangerous, turbulent and life changing.

Brokenburn was a large plantation containing over 150 slaves in Madison Parish, LA. From 1862 on, it was in the center of the Union Army's fierce assault to gain control of the Mississippi River and divide the Confederacy in half. Plantations were commandeered and slaves were encouraged to revolt. The civilian population was helpless before the demands of military control. Madison Parish had a population of approximately 9,000 of whom 7,000 were slaves. After 1861, the Parish was emptied of able-bodied white men, most of whom had been sent to far-off Virginia and Tennessee, leaving none to protect the civilians.

In 1861, Kate was 20 years old, her immediate future being beaus, courtship, and a gay social life before she settled down to become a proper southern matron. She was unsure whether this route was ideal, as she remarked, "women grew significantly uglier in wedlock and ignored and abandoned their former female friends." This comfortable world was turned upside down, never to reappear again. With great enthusiasm and some trepidation, she watched her three older brothers go off to war. Her widowed mother made it clear that 14-year-old James was now in charge of the running of the plantation and the protection of the rest of the family. I was amazed at the serene assumption that a young teenager was thrust in this role, but it seems that was the custom of the times. If you had to grow up fast, you did. Yellow fever was a constant in the area, and longevity was not a norm. Both Generals Grant and Lee wanted their troops out of these areas during "the seasons of pestilence." This was not to be, and both armies suffered devastating losses to disease. Kate treated the "fever season" as a fact of life, and planned around it with remarkable briskness.

By 1862, the Stone family was desperate. The Federal leadership demanded that they stay on their property; yet there were serious slave insurrections that threatened the lives of the plantation holders. Those slaves who were not hostile were running off, and there was no labor to farm the crops. Many southerners could not believe that their "loyal" slaves would run away. Kate was not among them, saying, "If I were in their place, I'd do the same." She was by no means sympathetic, just practical.

The family finally escaped through the bayous in a rickety canoe with nothing, not even underwear, and finally made it across the border into Texas. They were refugees along with many other prominent Louisiana families. Kate was convinced they had arrived at "a dark corner of the Confederacy." Upon noting the barefoot but hoop skirted frontier ladies, she sniffed "there must be something in the air of Texas fatal to beauty."

Kate agonized over the increasingly bad war news and was devastated by Lee's surrender. Kate is one of the most vivid, perceptive diarists of the Civil War. Her diary is one of social history, a time of calamitous change and invaluable for understanding this crucial time in American history. Kate is a natural writer and observer. A highly enjoyable read.

I was a child in Rev. Jordan's church in Colorado Springs, when he wrote and compiled the sermons in the book. We could hardly wait to see what he would take out of his brown bag each Sunday. I was in junior high school I think, when he was convinced to whrite these sermons in to a book . They are a wonderfull resource for anyone doing childrens sermon. Mary L. Anderson's ilistrations are wonderful as well, she was a lovely lady.

I thought that this was a great book! The images of Da Vinci's notebook are excellent. Although if you are looking for a translation of the pages this is not the book for you. This book only gives brief descriptions of what is written on the page - which is to bad because what they translate from his notebook only makes you want to read more of what Da Vinci wrote about. Overall I thought it was a great book for reference. I could not ask for more beautiful images.

This book is a short collection of humorous and poignant short stories about a school bus of unusual students. One word.. FUNNY

How better could an author examine the legal process than be a part of it? Obviously Ronald Anderson posed this question to himself and answered with complete discretion and insight. If only a bonus star could be awarded along with the first five, I would give them in all earnst.
