This a the sequel to the first Talk About Good, but is good and complete enough to stand on its own. I recommend it highly as I do the first one. The artwork by Rodrigue is wonderful and the recipes are truly authentic. A necessary edition to any kitchen, Cajun or not.

This cookbook is an excellent source reflective of South Louisiana (i.e., "Cajun") culture. The recipes are interesting, easy to follow, and have been "tested" on family and friends of Junior League members.

As interesting as the recipes are the illustrations by internationally known painter George Rodrigue of Lafayette, Louisiana. His paintings and comments accurately portray the Cajun culture, and give an insight into the Cajun way of life. You will even learn the meaning of the expression, "Laissez les bons temps rouler".

If you want to know how to make a good gumbo, many delicious ways to cook seafood (after all, the Cajuns invented the idea of "blackened" fish), or what to do with some of the game that your mighty hunters have brought home, this is the cookbook for you!

I am a member of the National Federation of the Blind (NFB), the nation's oldest and largest civil-rights organizaion of (and for) blind people. The NFB is very much akin to NAACP, or NOW; the NFB was formed to help improve the lives of the blind. Beyond being blind, I am also interested in the movements of all oppressed or marginalized people to lift themselves and to be accepted. I enjoy reading the histories of these organizations/movements, and Walking Alone and Marching Together is an excellent read. This book does a wonderful job of detailing why and how the NFB was formed, the development of its philosophy and purpose, and the increased acceptance and success of the blind as a result of its existence. The speeches alone are amazing, uplifting, and so well-written, and the narrative is quite good and appropriate...Mr. Matson understands the purpose of narrative. I strongly encourage anyone who is blind, who knows someone who is blind, or anyone interested in the civil-rights movement to read this book, and beyond that, to get in touch with the NFB. It has changed the life of thousands of blind people before you, and it will change yours as well.

This stirring history book is about a mostly unnoticed group of Americans attaining ordinary civil liberties and social options. We all know Women, African-Americans, and other minorities have had to fight for their equal treatment in our society. Little happened until they took up the fight for themselves. This unique book tells the story of the revolution of the American blind! Once told to do "blind trades" like basket-weaving, 40 yrs later there's blind attnys, artists, factory workers, engineers, teachers, reporters, secretaries, &etc. It was enjoyable reading about the events, the speeches, and the people who made things different for blind Americans! "Walking Alone and Marching Together" gives the full text of really powerful speeches with just enough commentary by the author to tie each speech to its place in Blind History, plus correspondance, laws, statistics, magazine articles, and more. Did you know Senator JFK (before he was President)was going to introduce a blind persons Right to Association Bill because blind persons working on gaining their civil rights were losing their jobs?! That it took collective action by blind Californians to get a law that permitted blind persons to teach in public schools? & to work in US Govt agencies? There are great examples of the American system of self-reliance and ingenuity to upgrade the status of a minority. Check out the fist-raised, rousing speeches by these blind American heroes. These speeches are the blind American's equivilent of Martin Luther King, Jr. with "I've Got A Dream." In one appendix there's an amazing biography section with more than a dozen blind leaders of the recent past and of today who are still at work on blind equality. (The battle isn't over yet.) The book is so big I found it best to read a few speeches and then think about them before diving in for more. It would be a great resource for school libraries(junior high thru univ.)& public libraries that have resources for writing reports on Am.History, minorities, blind & visually impaired, disabilities, Civics, great speech makers, civil rights struggles, & folks who make a difference. If you have an interest in these subjects, try it yourself. So far I've read it 1 1/2 times. It lifts my spirits. People CAN be wonderful. What was wrong CAN be made right if Americans will work at it.

A comprehensive story of radar remote sening written by the guruhs of synthetic aperture radar. Very application oriented and not such crypitc collection of mathematical/physical hard core stuff. Well done! A bit on the expensive side due to its dimensions and colorfulness! This book is what I was waiting for!

The Combat Engineers served a dual role in the army. While fighting with the infantry, they also performed vital functions such as building bridges, clearing minefields,and keeping the roads open as the US Army advanced. "The 51st Again!, An Engineer Combat Battalion In World War II" provides a rare insight into the lives of American soldiers serving in the Combat Engineers during the second world war. Authors Barry Fowle and Floyd Wright bring to life the heroic role of these men through first person accounts, official records and a wealth of photographs detailing the history of this typical engineer battalion as they fought the war in Europe. The 51st's story is filled with moments of the intense emotions of men at war, touching personal insights and even a few humorous antics. "The 51st Again!" rewards it's reader with an absobing narrative as well as all the detailed facts an historian demands.

Nephew Jim Faulkner talks about his famous uncle. These stories will be appreciated by Faulkner fans-- no one else. The nine stories provide a look at an off-duty Faulkner. One of the more interesting tales explains why Oxford has two Confederate monuments.

Dr. Jones' lastest publication of the Harmony of the Four Gospels is an invaluable tool for students of the scriptures. The Gospels have been not only been chronilogically assembled, but similar narratives are arranged side-by-side which allows for the student to get a full view of a particular subject, as described by more than one person. The appendices contain an invaluable study of the genealogies leading to Jesus, and once and for all settles the question of the dates surrounding Artaxerxes decree.

This study is reinforced by a companion publication of Dr. Jones' 'WHICH BIBLE', which presents an analytical look at the different translations of the Bible. Dr. Jones presents a convincing argument that the Authorized (or Received) Text is the true Word of God present on the earth today.

This is a great sci-fi work. It has a lot of adventure, and an involving story. It digs deep into human emotions and behavior as well. A must read.

Learning about ones family can take much time. Mr. Wells has provided many of we family researchers with the tool (Annals of Floyd County Kentucky 1800-1826) to cut months off our research time. A great part of early America passed through or lived in Kentucky. Floyd County was a catch all for many of our ancestors during their move west, north and south while others remained there. Wonderful detail and well indexed.

An uncommonly entertaining and informative book, on a subject that sadly is not known outside of a small circle of aviation buffs. Extremely readable, while managing to be very detailed and technical. Balanced, offering a wide range of comments from a wide range of people who were involved with the subject, the first Jet powered airliner to fly in North America. Questions and reservations are not evaded, they are met head on. Complete with drawings and tech specs, a must for anyone with an interest in Canadian aviation, and pioneers in the jet age. Could not be too highly recommended.

I received my first copy of "Bait Man Down The Road" as a gift. When I started reading I could not stop. The author give a great perspective on country life through many quaint and interesting stories of his first hand experiences. The book gives someone who grew up in the city a great look and insight into the wonderful rural lifestyle which few have experienced. I plan to purchase more copies and distribute them to friends so that they can share these great experiences. Many thanks to the author for sharing his personal life experiences.
