I am continually amazed at how children's books offer detail and insight into daily life that no stout history book can provide.

Writing the same review for the other two in this trilogy. Excellent all!

This is a wonderful, wonderful book. It will help you teach your children about hard work, perseverance, and family. My children want it read to them again and again.

Young Samuel Eaton (a historical character) is looking forward to his first chance to help his father bring in the crops. He finds the work incredibly hard, and the coarse grain raises bad blisters on his hands. But he perseveres, and at the end of the day when his father tells him "you did a man's work today, Samuel," we feel his pride.

Masterfully written, beautifully photographed, this is a gem in every way.

This book took us back to 1627. We learned all about Samuel Eaton's first day as a man. He told us all about the hard work he had to do in the fields. It was so interesting to read a story that used different words from long ago. The pictures were awesome! They showed us the clothing the pilgrims wore, what their house looked like, and the hard work everybody did. We thought it would be difficult to be a pilgrim boy! We think everyone should read this book because you can learn a lot about how the pilgrims lived. Read this wonderful book!

These pages are chocked full of valuable information for anyone planning a TEAM trip! Pros in short-term missions, Authors Kim & Chris provide great tips and insight in making your trip successful! For a terrific mission trip this is the guide to follow!

"Vacations With a Purpose" is a crucial tool for anyone leading or participating in a short-term mission or service trip abroad. Whether it's your first trip or your 100th, you'll find useful and easy to follow preparation activities, team member guidelines, packing lists, and much more. My leaders gave us these books for two trips on which I participated, and it really helped me know what to expect, how to prepare, and how to apply the lessons I learned once back at home. Since then I have used "Vacations With a Purpose" when leading teams myself, and have also recommended the book to other leaders. You will not be disappointed!

I've used the VWAP for years. I know of no other single resource that provides such a thorough overview of the short-term missions experience. It contains great information, exercises, and questions to stimulate thinking. Your team members will be better equipped for their experience if they have this book.

Whaley and Wongs updated bible for paediatric nurses is essential reading now it has gone in to its seventh edition, Those who had the 1995 version will already be familiar with the fully comprehensive care plans and evidence based practice rigorously detailed within the book, but 2002's new edition not only updates knowledge but also improves clarity using excellent illustrations, and also includes an entire new chapter regarding community care- an issue at the forefront of modern nursing. This is a core text for all students and qualified nurses alike.

I have a hard time reading some books that are required in nursing school. However this book is exceptional! I loved this reader friendly textbook. It is very easy to understand. I wish more of my books were like this one. Thank you Donna Wong.

The 6th edition of this textbook is the best ever. Wong as usual provides the latest research with every topic covered. The color-coded chapters make it easy to use. The CD-ROM is very useful as a study aid and to view clips of nursing procedures. Highly recommended for nursing students and practicing pediatric nurses.

This is a wonderful book that gives the reader a feel for all social levels during the medieval times. I especially enjoyed The Wife of Bath's Tale. I recommend this book to anyone. It is interesting while being entertaining at the same time.

Chaucer has given me a greater insight into life in the 14th century. We see the hypocrisy of the "genteel" people of the time. He has also transcended the boundaries of time for we can still see evidence of this hypocrisy in todays society. The Wife is a strong female character and the reader can not be certain if she is feminist or anti-feminist nor can they be certain if Chaucer is laughing at her or with her. This was a very crafty device by Chaucer's and he must be commended for it. This device is shown in how long Chaucer allows the Wife to speak about herself, it is the longest prologue in the book except of course for the General Prologue. The Wife's views and issues can also be seen in her choice of tale but her voice seems somewhat more subdued here and we can distinctly see Chaucer's own views and ideas coming out in the tale.The very poetic style in which it is written also intices the reader to read on. Altogether quite an insightful piece of literature.

It was so lovely

This book, is the best result of the masterminds of the state of art, and I Suggest as a read for everyone that work with this technology.

I do not read Japanese but the only available edition of this book when I needed it was the Japanese edition. I still found the book to give me all the information I needed to do what I needed to do, write an audio recording app without knowing anything about Multi-Media beforehand. I also liked that it used mostly lower level coding so that it would not be so at risk from Microsofts whims.

I can honestly say that I have never been disappointed by any Robert Simon book and this is no exception. Rather than read this book from cover to cover I use it as a reference. It is a fairly complete guide to multimedia and ODBC API calls and it is presented in a way that anyone can understand. Good job Mr. Simon!!

This newly published work is a careful, clear, and concise guide to both the art and the science of teaching the Bible to adults. Dr. Blair presents information on the theological basis of biblical interpretaion, current adult learning theory, and educational methodology, in a way that is creative and challenging and, at the same time, readily accessible.
One of Dr. Blair's gifts as a teacher is her skill at synthesizing information and placing it within understandable frameworks. In this book, she creates a synthesis of several sub-disciplines of theology and education, from which she builds a very useable framework for wholistic Bible study that balances intellect and creativity, tradition and innovation. And she does this all in a very compelling way: using imaginative metaphors but without employing unnecessary jargon or needlessly obscure terminology. The result is a very useful and inspiring guide for teaching, evaluating curriculum, and developing one's own methods and techniques to lead adult learners in listening to, reflecting on, and responding to the Word of God.

In The Art Of Teaching The Bible, Christine Blair (Director of the Doctor of Ministry Program and Associate Professor of Practical Theology at Austin Presbyterian Seminary) shows how adult educators can motivate adults to utilize the necessary tools and theological principles for studying and interpreting biblical texts for themselves. Blair presents four models (Conversion; Common Identity with Bible People; Justice/Faith in Action; Spiritual Growth into a Holy Life). Then she examines how and when adults learn best. This is followed by the "5 Rs" of Bible Study: Remembering, Revisiting the Text, Reflecting Critically, Reinterpreting, Respond. Blair then concludes with a chapter on storytelling and a chapter offering nine specific teaching tips. The Art Of Teaching The Bible is very highly recommended, invaluable reading for anyone charged with a responsibility for teaching the Bible whether in a formal seminary classroom, church school setting, or an informal Bible study group.

This book is very user friendly and easy to follow.

Great Job

This book is a refreshing look at an often-overlooked nitch in the fabric world. Patti and Pam do an outstanding job of giving the reader a hands-on tour of what wool felt appliqué can do.

Top quality pictures and descriptive diagrams back the informative and easy to follow text. Whether you are new to the game or an old hand, this book has something for you. Put this one on your "Must Have" list!

The beautiful Shirley Eaton has written an impressive, fascinating autobiography that tells you everything you ever wanted to know about her life and about the classic James Bond film, "Goldfinger." Miss Eaton played the "golden girl" who was suffocated to death by gold paint early in the film -- her playful scenes with Sean Connery are among the best in the whole series of Bond films, and the image of her covered in gold paint is one of the icons of '60s cinema (landing her on the cover of Life magazine in '64). Miss Eaton tells all the behind-the-scenes stories of that film, making this book a must-have for Bond fans. What's more, she chronicles her own life and long career in witty, intelligent fashion, proving herself to be not just a lovely, talented actress but an inspiration for others. Especially fun are her reviews of other actresses -- Miss Eaton's critiques are insightful and on the money. If you don't know much about Shirley Eaton, you should, and this book is the best way to see what she's really like.

Actress Shirley Eaton examines her career and film history from the 1950s-60s, blending her memoirs with an insider's examination of the changing film industry and its many complications. Chapters do more than provide reviews of Eaton's experiences in film; they consider changing images of glamour and stars, and provide insights on fellow actors. Black and white photos pepper this coverage.

The paleolithic diet recommendations in this book are a bit more conservative in that whole grain breads and pastas, legumes and some low fat dairy products are allowed. I believe alot of the other popular paleolithic diet books severely restrict if not eliminate these items along with most carbohydrates. In fact, the diet recommended in this book reminds me a great deal of the Mediterranean Diet. Someone interested in eating healthier versus someone wanting to lose weight will find it very helpful. Provides a good foundation from which to become familiar with the paleolithic diet without being too extreme.

The Paleolithic Prescription provides detailed advice on living well based on evidence from our evolutionary past.The authors,physicians and anthropologists from Emory University,have written an eminently readable work.They deserve great credit for their extensive research.

The book's main theme is that humans today are genetically little different from our hunting and gathering ancestors.The agricultural revolution some 10,000 years ago and the industrial revolution some 200 years ago radically changed our relationship with the Earth.The authors marshall evidence that much degenerative disease can be attributed to our essentially pre-agricultural bodies being unable to adapt to post-agricultural and post-industrial conditions.

Both the Zone books by Dr.Barry Sears and Protein Power by the Eades list The Paleolithic Prescription as a reference.The principal focus of the book is nutrition but the authors also contrast the relationship between the sexes that occurred when we forsook our evolutionary heritage.

The book is not based on conjecture.A handfull of hunting and gathering peoples still exist on our planet.Extensive anthropological observations as well as fossil evidence provide convincing evidence.

The authors do not deny the merits of modern medicene.They feel we can apply the lessons of past life ways and enjoy optimal health in the best of both worlds.I would like to ask the authors if the lowering of the infant mortality rate through the conquest of infectious disease [with its subsequent deterioration of the gene pool] is in the planet's best interests in the long run.

This is a profoundly important book.I rank it among the top 5 most influential books of my life. It is essential reading for anyone caring about preventing degenerative health problems:cancer,cardio-vascular,asthma,arthritis,etc.

I was very happy to see this book in print. I knew Pistol Pete when I was a child growing up in Perkins, OK. He never tired of telling his tales to children of all ages while sitting underneath a shade tree. Every time he passed our house, he'd give us a nickel to buy a soda pop if he saw us playing in the yard. I adored him and so did everyone in town. If there was trouble about, my grandmother would tell folks to go get Pistol Pete "cuz he can shoot a flea of'n a dog's back." After his death, I was disappointed to learn there really weren't Indians hiding behind the rocks in his back yard. He always told me to watch out for them. I'm very proud and honored to have known him.

This riveting biography of one of the last, if not the last living fire-eating sheriffs of the old West starts with his youth at the tender age of about 5 when his father is murdered by some of the rag-tag Cantrell's Raiders. Given a gun by Rolla Goodnight and shown how to shoot it, he was told that he should not rest until he had killed all five of the men that killed his father. He did it by the time he hit his early twenties. He ran across an old scout that showed him how to improve his draw and accuracy and perfected unheard- of feats for show. Eventually he was working for Hanging Judge parker and describes Tulsa when it was literally a crossroads with a saloon and not much more than just that. Eaton's manner of criminal apprehension is hair rasing and unique, always giving his quarry the chance to draw first. This is definitely a book that you can't put down because of its content, style--- and the fact it is true!!

About 1955 I tolked to a fellow who was in the movie businiess,and I mentioned this book to him. He was thoroughly familiar with it and told me that various interests had been trying for years to buy the rights to it, but the family refused to sell it. What a classic it would make!!!
