The photographs are beautiful, and the projects are lovely. I only wish they'd given more detailed instructions on some items, such as making flooring from clay.

This is one of the most astounding sea stories I've read. Captain Barnard's narrative is direct, simple and powerful. It really tells the story of a triple marooning--the only one I know. The introduction by Professor Dodge is a "must skip"--it is poorly written and dull. But once you get into Barnard's historic narrative, it is a compelling read. Captain Barnard's narrative begins just prior to the first days of the War of 1812. They set out upon a sealing expedition to the Falkland Islands. The Barnard family (his father is with him--also a sealing captain) is Quaker, and live a ways up the Hudson River. Once upon the Falkland Island, they set up operations (itself a remarkably interesting procedure). In the first few months of the expedition (it is supposed to last about a year or so) they see signal fires from a strange ship. It turns out to be a British ship bound from Australia to England. It has run aground on the Falklands. The Barnard family goes to the British ship's aid, knowing full well the United States is at war with the British. After the rescue (the British shipis ruined) Captain Barnard--in private--informs the British captain (there are British Marines on board) that their two countries are at war. Though they agree to neutrality during their difficulties, the Brits reneg! The British take the Barnard party prisoner--seize their ship and smaller boats, and in turn maroon Captain Barnard with two ordinary seamen on the Falkland Islands. Since few ships went to those islands then, their marooning was essentially a death sentence. The harsh winter was ahead of them. This outstanding narrative is of that marooning--and from this original marooning, things become even more complex. This is a unique read--a little known historic niche. Captain Barnard's narrative is impressive for its detail, composure and--a testimony to masterful seamanship plus mental and spiritual discipline. A must, must read.

In this book Megan goes back in time around the Revolutionary War and almost gets to deliver a message to Jefferson himself! This book made me realize how dangerous it was back then and that I am very lucky to live in the world at this moment. This book is something you wouldn't want to miss!

This book is essential in expalining why early childhood programs include the activities they do. the format is easy to read in simple terms and is designed for parents , but will make any director or teacher's job easier.

This Handbook covers everything you could possible want in clearly organized sections & easily understood explanations. It covers & explains every commonly needed aspect of the Plumbing Code & later goes on to explain Installation of everything it talks about in the code section, followed by an explanation of Troubleshooting & Repairs. This book includes a CD-ROM which night be valuable to a plumber as it contains a large variety of trade related business forms. However, this book contains few illustrations/photos & none are color. The book assumes a certain level of knowledge in some areas, i.e., it makes frequent reference to zones 1, 2, & 3 but never explains them, & it includes some diagrams which will be unclear to many outside the trade. Acronyms are defined once & good luck in locating the definition later because you cannot find them in the index. I'm glad I have this book, but for complete coverage, particularly for those of us not in the trade, others books will be needed.

Sepia Prints frankly and cleverly demonstrates the effusive forte of Viola Wiebe's sixty-some years of service in Christ as a missionary to her beloved peoples of India. It is indeed cherished and so rare in these times to witness a persona leaping so vibrantly off the printed page itself! Read ten-thousand anecdotes and become fascinated--not mementarily entertained.

Mr. Mitchum's book is entertaining, hence the title. It's hard to get into the plot but it is a book yuo read if not just to find out the ending. I would suggest this to older readers. Not because of words or suggestion but because they probably are more able to understand.

This is a "must" in a muscle car fan library, especially of those who like the Chargers. This book reviews the history: the designing process, the changes, and the final result, not to mention the technical data, lots and lots of great pics, we can also read about brilliant drivers who maaried with this car, such as the great Richard Petty. Anyway i reccomend this book to anybody who likes muscle cars.

Greed leads to life and death conflicts in the Irish countryside. There are lots of great characters in this novel - good guys tainted with the gift of blarney, bad guys you love to hate and manipulative women who know how to get what they want. Crissman has a knack for letting us glimpse inside the head of his characters while maintaining a sporting pace. And for equine enthusiasts, there are lots of horses and riding scenes set in a historic hunting lodge. The more I read, the more I liked. Tally Ho! I give it 4 stars.
