All the elements that a Regency should have are there in spades. A Perilous Engagement is a joy. With the untimely death of his cousin Ivor, Jason Robards assumes the title of Baron of Harcourt. Sharing his part of the inheritance is his cousin's fiancée Lady Ariel Maitland. She reluctantly reveals her belief that her fiancé's death was not an accident. Jason's feelings for his cousin's grieving fiancée grow with each encounter. Ariel knows her engagement was a fraud; she had been tricked by Ivor, and propriety forced her hand. The plot thickens when Jason discovers that Jane is guarded by a dragon of an aunt who is reluctant to see Ariel wed to anyone but her own choice.

This book is a good book to use to encourage children to make up their own story using the illustrations. The book has very simple illustrations that will not confuse the child. This book is fun for children because the characters are mice that go on a picnic. Another good wordless picture book is First Snow written by the same author. It also has some great illustrations that are easy for children to understand to create their own story.

This a wonderful read aloud book about video games and the students I have read this book to in my library classes loved it. A book that is well written about something that alot of children are currently playing.

I have been using and training in MS Office applications for the past 7 years. This manual is straightforward and layout logically. Begining with the basic MOUS skills and progressing to the expert MOUS skills appears seamless. The book is full of pictures, step-by-step instructions per task, and helpful Pro Tips. This book is not full of "techie" jargon and wordiness.

The practice exercises are practical and helpful tools to either learn or refresh the topics covered in each chapter. The end-of-chapter tests also reassess what you just learned in each chapter.

The MOUS PinPoint program strongly reinforces the skills you learned after each lesson. The two different software elements in PinPoint - Trainer and Evaluation surely reinforce the skills that you NEED in order to PASS the MOUS Certification exam - Core or Expert.

This manual is better layout than the Que E&T MOUS series which use the same PinPoint training and testing software. I would highly recommend this manual and the accompanying PinPoint software to anyone who needs a training aide or manual to practice with for the MOUS certification exam. The only drawback is that is doesn't have anough exercises at the end of each chapter to be used as a training manual. If an additional exercise or two were available - this book would have been rated as a 5-star book.

This book takes a refreshing look at the New Jersey Pine Barrens in regards to its landscape and the land use management practices surrounding it. The landscape is described in scientific terms, yet remains readable for the average person. Protecting the New Jersey Pinelands : A New Direction in Land-Use Management is enjoyable and interesting for all readers, regardless of prior exposure.

Mssrs. Lapin and Blanc, rabbits, are former pirates who now own and operate the "Spinach Main", a popular restaurant in Provence. But business takes a turn for the worse when Msr. Reynard the fox decides to visit. "My compliments to the chef!" he says after a lunch of bread and wine, "I look forward to eating you -- I mean, eating *here* agains, soon." Will old friends Lapin and Blanc take up swords again and fight Reynard, despite their vow that their life of violence is over?

This is a completely charming picture book. The story is peppered with French words and phrases [a small glossary (sans pronunciation guide) is included in the front of the book, for those new to French.] Impressionistic watercolors illustrate the tale nicely.

Eager Westerners scoop up videos and books on t'ai chi hoping to learn this powerful movement form without a real, live teacher. "Ride the Tiger" is one of the few that can help you do just that! Simple, step-by-step, behaviorally specific instructions with photos and drawings are balanced with equally simple questions to self-check one's progress. The story of how the author, a nuclear physicist, was drawn to learn and then teach t'ai chi provides a unique slant on East meets West. His explanations of how it works based on his scientific understandings are especially intriguing. Qualified teachers are becoming more widely available, but in the meantime, this book is a useful tool.

This book is pretty good. I found it at the library and was instantly hooked after I finished. It's about 3 roommates --Dana-independent city girl, Faith-determined and practical, and Shelley-naive, small town girl-- and their great adventures as they start boarding school. Now I'm looking for more since the series is out of print.
