I don't always like to read classics, but when a friend of mine suggested that I read this book, I decided to try it, and I am very glad that I did. Irving's words, though written so many years before now, still paint eloquent pictures of the Spain of his time. I could almost see what he was seeing. The stories and legends are also wonderful and fascinating. An antique copy of this book is one of my most treasured gifts.

Thats what I think any way!!!!!!! Like I say again Andrew Donkins book'Alien Enciclopedia is the best book I've ever read and I wish him well in the future!The next book Andrew Donkin writes I will certainly buy it.

I read this age-appropriate semi-scientific narrative when I was nine, and the chapters about the Shovel-Jawed Mastadon and the Beast of Baluchistan frightened the heck out of me. Buy this for your kid today.

All Gold Canyon is a story of a man's journey in pursuit of gold. We travel with him through his everyday explorations and realize the depth of his greed and the effects this has on the earth.
This story provides an important message to people worldwide regarding human greed and the effects on natures well being. As the human race expands, we pay less attention to our destruction of mother nature. It also can lead the reader to an insight into their own life and the ways that we destroy things without even realizing it, only to fulfull our self pleasures.
In other ways, the story is interesting because the reader follows this man's pursuit towards happiness. Both the journey and the reward get the reader involved with their own fantasy of pursuing the dream of mining for gold, unfortunately, disregarding the effects our fantasy may have on our much needed surroundings.

When you find out that "All-Time Great World Series" talks about four famous games from the Fall Classic you might think that you will be reading about Babe Ruth's called shot, the famous home runs that won games hit by Bill Mazeroski and Carlton Fisk, or the perfect game pitched by Don Larsen. But Andrew Gutelle tells what happened in four other famous World Series games: when Walter Johnson and the Washington Senators won their only World Championship in 1924, Reggie Jackson's three homers in 1957 when the New York Yankees beat the Los Angeles Dodgers, the New York Mets coming back in the bottom of the tenth against the Boston Red Red Sox in 1986, and the 1-0 10-inning Game 7 in 1991 between the Minnesota Twins and the Atlanta Braves, who had both gone from worst to first. Gutelle argues this last one might have been the greatest World Series game ever and it is certainly hard to top the tension of a deciding game that is scoreless at the end of nine innings. This book does a nice job of combining historic photographs with nice illustrations by Bart Forbes. Gutelle covers all of the bases on the key details of each of these games, so parents and grandparents who remember these games vividly will not feel the urge to talk about things that have been left out. Certainly the first choice in this book is an interesting one, since the Senators do not even exist anymore and the other three games are all of more recent vintage. But one of the things you learn to love when you discover baseball is the history of the game and if this book introduces young fans to the Big Train, so much the better. This first-rate book serves as a wonderful introduction to just some of the dramatic games that have been played in the World Series. Now readers in Grades 2-3 will know the story of why they keep replaying the ball going through Bill Buckner's legs all the time.

A fascinating summary of Alternative Healing Therapies which serves to challenge our thinking and perceptions regarding our blind acceptance of orthodox medicine. The book is inspiring as it highlights the dedication and innovative thinking of many pioneers of unorthodox healing therapies. This book inspired me to search for more information on some of the therapies. However, it seems there is very little information readily available on the more fascinating and lesser known therapies covered in this book. It would have been helpful if Dr. Stanway had given information on sourcing some of the products mentioned as well as other sources of reference for further study.

From Planeta Journal - This wonderful book provides a much-needed overview of travel that enriches the soul. The diversity of "alternative" travel is as broad as the interests that propel travelers to leave the comforts of home. Chapters cover independent travel, special interest vacations, senior travel, family travel, disability travel, adult study, student overseas programs and living abroad. This volume synthesizes the most practical information for making the most of traveling abroad. This is an excellent resource.

I love Amados work and think that everything the guy stands for is worthy of a brother artists. Being an artists myself I can relate to the educational background and the teaching experience that he has . We love him!

I received this book recently as a gift and am 100% satisfied! The color photos cover every aspect from the rise of Hitler to the dropping of the A bomb on Japan. Anyone thinking that the only good photos that exist of WW2 are in black and white needs to buy this book- you will not be disappointed!

There's a review of _America's Country Schools_ in the August 6, 2000 Sunday edition of the _New York Times_. The article, by Jodi Wilgoren, is called _The One-Room Schoolhouse_, and is in the Education Life Supplement.
