As a fairly new postcard collector and a lifelong resident of southwest Arkansas, I found this book to be an excellent pictorial history of the first half of 1900 along Highway 67. I recommend this book not only to postcard collectors but the public that lived and traveled this stretch of highway. Wonderful narration of the postcards and historical bits of information.

What noted readers might have said: "Such a book as this has great relativity" --Einstein "This book is creating a cultural revolution" --Mao "This book contains information that even I did not know about myself" --Verne "Alas, the authors of this book know Verne well" --Shakespeare "Finally, a book on Verne for everyone to share" --Marx (Karl) "How this book got in my pajamas I don't know" --Marx(Groucho)

Ray Mossholder has done a wonderful job of mixing his humor with the hard truths of parenting. He delivers, to the reader, a neatly, wrapped package of basic child rearing tools. Ray's experience shows both in his understanding of families and his ability to convey this understanding through the written word. This is a great gift to give new parents or struggling parents.

This book is intended for non-medical professionals, and thusdoes not explain things in much detail or depth. However, it explainsenough for the people who are interested in health and human physiology. One of the strength of this book is that the author tries to explain how things work in human body. This isn't just the atlas like other atlas books where authors simply list lots of terminologies of the parts with the figures (only with few explanations). Especially, I liked the way the author explains about how hormone system works. One might wonder the quality of the pictures (or the book overall) would be any good considering the price of this book, and I can say that this is a quality book. This book is published in 1999, so I guess that at least it has the most updated information regarding human body. I can hardly think of any other book that can surpass the quality/price ration that this book offers. There is another book that is complementary to this book: Atlas of the Human Body, by Takeo Takahashi. Some pictures are better in Takahashi's book (actually, many figures are better). But this book is more expensive and published in 1995. If you need only one "Know Your Body" will be the one to choose, because it has more explanations of "why/how". In my case, I bought both. Note that these books may not be intended for medical professionals, they are detailed enough to get you bored unless you are really interested in human body, health, and physiology. So, be prepared. It is like a text book reading.

Jackendoff has clearly articulated the where's and why's of mental representations and arrives at the conclusion that we need to acknowledge that we are just a product of biological evolution. Forget about spirit or that special something, our minds are computers. Great Book!

As a lover of the NC mountains, this book speaks of people and places of my childhood. The story of this family is one of music, heritage, honor, humor and heartache. The isolation of the rugged mountains in the early part of this century makes me, who sometimes longs for a simpler way of life, want to experience it, but at the same time, I am humbled that I would probably never survive it. Having sat on Mr. Hick's porch as a child, and listened to his Jack Tales, I have a new admiration for him and his family. If I ever have the nerve to complain about my circumstances, I always think of this story and count my blessings. Not for those who want to pity those with fewer possessions or dollars than the average US family, for these people possess much more than so many of us!

This is one of those briljant books that connects seemingly random mysterious happenings together into a logical, comprehensive whole. Written in a passionate but unbiased way. One of those rare books in which you get those great moments of :"AH!" over and over. Definitely a must.

I came upon this book when I joined the Entertainment & Media Practice of a big-5 consulting firm. It was recommended to me as a good quick backgrounder on the business side of publishing, and I have recommended it to many, many people since. It was extremely useful when I found my self on my first project at a publishing company with no prior book publishing experience. The part that I found particularly useful was a chapter that presented a Contract for Trade Book Publication, with running commentary on key points...and as you would hope, the length of the comments exceed the text of the contract!

The edition that I have is 1992, which may be the last edition, as that's what's listed here on amazon.com. Of course, there are many new topics that an author should be considering that weren't on people's screens at the time that this book was written....such as electronic books, and the implications of print-on-demand to the definition of a book being "in print". Like any text, you should look at it as a starting point, and then search more current trade pubs and the net to get current.

Still, it's a very enjoyable, clearly written and informative book...well worth finding.

(And Ray, if you read this, you should consider updating the book and going print-on-demand with it if your publisher doesn't want to do a new edition....I think the Author's Guild can facilitate that process...though I doubt i need to tell you that!)

I came across this book by accident, and what a happy accident! I read it like a novel that I couldn't put down. If you are interested in the subject of native art, Alaska, or are just fascinated with cultural histories in general, you will enjoy this book. It is informative, educational, and feeds the passion for the simple beauty that exists in certain parts of the world like the Alaskan territories. In addition it has inspired and informed me to better plan my future trips to the area. Ray is real, and the book is beautiful with many pictures and descriptions of interesting facts and places. If you are planning a trip to Alaska, this is a book to have. Also described in her book is how to tell the difference between real and fraudulent art. If you plan to collect any pieces, this knowledge would be invaluable. This is one to keep.

this book contains 4 short stories and they are as good as most other short stories I've read. however, most of the time i do not understand the endings any more than these. the last story of the book Legend of a Badman, Hogan writes a very great story with more information (all good) about the main character than you might get from several others combined. Mr. Hogan keeps you interested at all times. he doesn't waist several pages trying to describe scenery or people. He just gets right to the scene and lets your imagination do some of the work, and i like that. It's a must read for your western library.
