I got it as my 9-years birthday gift. I donated to my school library. One cannot build a real robot based on this book alone. It teaches different ways to do robot expirements.

I love it!!!!

Mary Rider's debut novel In Benton is the compelling story of Liz Daniels, a divorced single mother with three small children. Liz moves to a small Nebraska town to simplify her life, but tangled tragedies and crises, local politics, and unavoidable personal issues crowd her and Liz must strive to achieve balance and adjust to the manifold demands of her new surroundings. In Benton is highly recommended as a deftly woven tale focused on dealing with change, and embarking upon new beginnings.

My husband is a nephew of Jesse Benton's and I read this book out of curiousity, but was very pleased to find it a fascinating read. She was a great lady and important to the history of this county and as well as having many amazing adventures. Although the subject matter could have been dry, Pamela Herr makes it interesting while giving you much historical information. You have a feeling of being in the places and at the time she is describing. You will soon realize that in another time, Jesse Benton would have made a far greater mark on history. This book was more satisfying than many novels I have read and will be passed on to all the young women in our family.

This book is of one that I fined it very useful for me and my coleague

This book completely examines the Lizstomania period in Germany. It documents 300 performances, in chronological order, with repertoire performed. Very user-friendly, it is indispensable to all concert performers interested in Liszt's early music. Much more than a reference book, it offers valuable insight into the performer and the musical climate he encouraged

This book, although currently out of print, is a must have for anyone interested in the lithographs of Thomas Hart Benton. It catalogues the works and has additional comments by the artist himself on each work. Good luck finding a copy.

I have read this book twice now and, though, it is not in the fashion of the '90's, it offers an eternal truth: simple, dignified faith. So often, history is told by the victors and the bullies. This wondrous and tragic story shows the perspective of the losers, the forgotten. They are just as human and just as flawed in their own right but they deserve a better fate.

This biography of Thomas Hart Benton is an outstanding look at not only the man, but the politics of an era. While many are familiar with the names and actions of Clay, Webster, and Calhoun, few are so familiar with the fourth member of this "quadumvirate." Benton was every bit as eloquent, influential, and powerful as his contemporaries, but his contributions seem to have been overshadowed in popular conception by his fellow Democrats, Andrew Jackson and Stephen Douglass. For the first time we see a man driven to represent his adopted state (Missouri), his penchant for engaging in duels (he once shot Andrew Jackson who carried the bullet for twenty years), and his sincere desire to aid the working man in the expansion of the new West. Benton's thirty-plus year career spans from the age of the founding fathers to the beginnings of the sectional crisis of the Civil War. This work is a must read for those interested in the politics of the Jacksonian era which led to the Civil War.
