"DISPATCHES FROM THE FRONT is a first-rate book about the men and women who reported the gallantry, the raw courage and the honor of America's wars. Nathaniel Lande is both a teacher and a scholar in his vivid account of these correspondents, who became opinion makers helping shape an emerging nation." William Friday: President Emeritus

Lavishly illustrated and clearly written, this book is extremely accissble to readers from high school onward. The layout is conducive to use of the book as a textbook for a course with text box discussions that lend themselves well to use by students in discussion groups.

Dominio de la historia de la epoca, los personajes son definidos e interesantes. La trama, el conflicto y el final, son profundos y bien pensados.

Es un libro intrigante,por lo tanto interesante, este fue mi primer libro de esta autora y me gusto tanto que ya tengo varios titulos de ella. Domina bien la literatura gotica que siempre entristese saber que uno ya va acabar de leer el libro.

Mike Holt's Electricians's Exam Prep book is the guide that I have used for the intensive week-end Electrician's Exam Prep classes that I teach. I have found that this book covers all of the essentials that you need to study to pass your National Electrical Code (NEC) test. This book starts with a review of the math and theory essential to passing an exam, and then subsequently does a great job of covering the things that are difficult to study, such as code tables and calculations including services and motor circuits. Mike includes lots of explanatory diagrams and examples.

Another great feature in the 1999 edition is that Mike has included all of the answers in the back of the book, often including explanations or showing the work to reach that answer. In previous editions, that answer key was a separate $22 purchase.

This book would be of benefit to anyone studying for their National Electrical code licensing exam, whether at the Journeyman, Master, Inspector, or Electrical contractor level. (Check your state or city exam guidelines to determine if your exam will also cover local and state laws, business laws, etc.)

This book is excellent if you are eager to seek out places Elvis frequented throughout his life. Not simply Sun Records or other well-known locations; rather, the non-traditional hangouts. I have brought the book to Memphis and used it as a guide to visiting some out-of-the-way places. Elvis was a lot more than Graceland and Sun. If you are interested in other locations which assisted in his formative years, take this book to Memphis and look up some of the addresses listed. You'll gain a better appreciation for the King.

This wonderful book contains alphabetical and bibliographical entries for topics associated with Victorian England. WHile it truly does cover the broadest of ranges for various topics like Charles Dickens, Disraeli,and Peterloo, it omits various "secondary" figures like Forster and other less literary but nonetheless notable characters of the time. Over all, it is a great browsing book full of interesting data for the general reader. If it does not cover all it could have done then it does at least offer a wide number of bibliographical entries for additional reading.

Janice Holt Giles is one of my favorite authors, and her first novel is excellent. Anyone who has ever read "Miss Willie" or "Tara's Healing" will love learning how it all started with Hod and Mary. Her descriptions of the Kentucky mountains and the lifestyle there are concise. I especially enjoy reading about Hod's thoughts and the moral dilemmas he faces as he grows older. This book contains several interesting points for us all to ponder, and the plot moves along nicely. I highly recommend it, as well as any other books by Janice Holt Giles!

Without even noticing it, we diminish children in somany ways. Holt perceptively points out these ways, and offerspractical ways to treat children more respectfully.

Hi all, I don't know how much relevance you can put on this review as I am a direct descendant of The Reverend John Lathrop so my opinion is obviously biased. Having said that I found the book very informative as to the history of this man. It also inspired a new interest in me for the Puritan movement and the early settlers of this country. I know that anyone interested in this reknowned family will not be disappointed in this well researched book. Wood Lathrop
