When I moved, a friend gave me a Box of Thoughts on New Beginnings. It's a really gorgeous box with quotes on little cards. I have this one by my computer: "Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenly, with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense." It's from Emerson. I try to take it to heart.

A hilarious and light-hearted comedy. Very Entertaining, an easy read. A good male monologue contained therein. Four good 1m/1f scenes, also. Good for highschool/college students to do scenes from.

This book is perfect for young readers who are ready for a "real" book. I have really enjoyed this book, and have read it many times.

After the Civil War, twelve-year-old Josh Bramlett and his family have a difficult time making a living in the Florida scrub. Josh's father is an experienced cattle man, and he decides to take his family and worthless scrub cattle on a long, slow drive across Florida. Along the way, they encounter many dangers, but most importantly, they become a closer family. At the end of the trail drive, the cattle have gotten fat, and are worth a great deal. Will bandits steal their hard-earned gold?

To start off, i happen to be OBSSESSED with Bringing Up Baby. I have the movie at least one hundred times, and can quote the entire script. So, you can imagine how thrilled i was, while browsing the cinema section in my local bookstore, to find an entire book devoted to my favorite movie of time. I immediately devoured it. The book contains the script (which is useful if you miss some of the rapid-fire dialogue in the film), as well as essays and the story the film is based on. i LOVED it. it gave me new incite to the quintessential screwball comedy. i highly recommend it to anyone who loves Bringing up Baby.

It is hard to imagine how a serious collector of antique British Military firearms could bear to be without this invaluable publication. Ditto for those others with any interest in the history of this subject and period.

Blackmore manages to produce a narrative that is both engaging and informative.

There is plenty of background on the development of the British Military Ordnance system combined with full data on individual weapons , their evolution and how they may be identified.

The work is copiously illustrated with photographs of original weapons held by the Armouries of The Tower of London and includes appendices which identify barrel,lock and stock marks.

The late Mr Blackmore spent 10 years on his researches and his dedication has resulted in the production of a book which has become a standard and invaluable reference point.

Although now out of print, the work merits any inconvenience which the reader may have to suffer to obtain a second hand copy.

This is one of the funniest books. While reading it, one of my co-workers laughed so hard her mascara ran down her face. I've used it in pre-school storytime all week and its been very popular with the 3 to 5 year old crowd. The illustrations are priceless and the charaters a riot.

This 95-page publication is an informative and fascinating catalogue book published in conjunction with a Smithsonian exhibition at the National Museum of History and Technology in 1980-81. Its subject is ranchlife in Paradise Valley, Nevada, north of Winnemucca and near the Oregon border. First settled by California farmer/ranchers in the 1860s, the region's development was influenced by the Spanish colonial agricultural practices of California, and its "cowboys" have traditionally been known as "buckaroos," an anglicized rendering of the Spanish "vaquero."

Contents of the book are based on field research by the American Folklife Center of the Library of Congress. It covers history of the region and then focuses on cowboy life and culture, including clothing, bunkhouses, and branding irons. The book contains many black and white photographs, both vintage and contemporary. Several are two-page spreads. There is also a list of 244 artifacts from the exhibition, with photos of many of them....

As of this writing...this wonderful book is out of print. If you can find a copy, it's well worth having.

Dr. Chinula is wonderful in his approach to pastoral counseling in the black community. I suggest that every pastor require his/her satff to read this book.

Howard Berkowitz is known in the networking community for his writing which has helped many, many people earn advanced certifications. But Howard doesn't write to that goal; he writes, instead, to the goal of helping people understand what it takes to make a network actually perform and deliver the business function it was purchased for. This is another in that series of lucid and focused books.

BSPN looks at the problem from the point of view of the engineer or technical manager who needs to deliver a service provider network--an ISP, ASP, etc. Over the course of the book, he uses a few fictitious businesses to demonstrate how a service provider could feasibly meet their needs. The content starts with the problem to be solved--as it always should--and progresses to how the promises are worded (Service Level Agreements, etc.), and on into the technical considerations that go into putting such a service in place.

As usual, he peppers the book with enough real stories to lend perspective to the thinking you have to do in planning networking (though most of don't plan for an adult male tiger "marking" the equipment). His diagrams are generally conceptual rather than using icons for different networking devices. After all, if you understand the logic, you can apply the best business equipment choice for the job you need to do.

And that is what this book is there for--to help you profitably provide a customer with the service they need. In these business times, that's a value.

they both scored well above grade level in everything except thinking skills. I heard about 'BTS' from a friend and thought it might help. After working with it just one year, they maxed out the thinking section of the test at the 99th percentile!
