This book is a very good book for the student who is majoring in classical studies. It explains things clearly, yet not as clearly as one would hope.

This book is great for the beginning Spanish student. Anyone who is interseted in starting a career in Spanish or just needs to learn the language, this book is right for you. I must have for anyone who is a beginning Spanish student.

"Moving Targets" is a well-written family-dynasty-gone-wrong scenario that takes place in the winter of a frozen tundra that calls itself Nebraska in more temperate times of the year. For further emphasis, the protagonist, former P.I. turned writer's name is--Nebraska.

As a favor to an old friend, Nebraska agrees to look for the missing daughter of the local banking scion. When he heads out to interview the father, Nebraska finds him dead at the turn-in to the family farm. Though Nebraska tries to keep his focus on the missing girl and out of the local police's way, he finds more and more reasons to think the two events are linked. Though the family offers up some wonderfully satisfying suspects, city corruption and blackmail seem to widen the net.

Mr. Reynolds is obviously a fan of the old hard core noir fellas and Nebraska is continually comparing his speech and responses to the likes of Marlowe, Spade, and Raymond Chandler. It's a trifle overdone to the point that Nebraska is beyond self-deprecating and comes off as one self-conscious sleuth. However, he lends a light touch to some fairly grim business. The writing is deft, the puzzle is intricate, and the solution is satisfying. I am surprised the Nebraska mysteries are all out-of-print. He gives good value, and I intend to read more. Fortunately, the series is available used, and I recommend the books to mystery lovers who like an author who has excellent abilities to describe a locale as well as a fast paced whodunit.

This is a WONDERFUL keep sake!! I searched high and low looking for a the perfect Baby Shower Book. I love the illustrations, the pastel colors, and the content flow. The book is practical and easy to follow. It will make a wonderful display for our Baby's Room.

The photos of the Oregon I knew growing up are superb. This book brings back fond memories of the Oregon forests. My family and I now live in Florida so need this book as a wonderful memory refresher.

Its the one compilation that has truely touched the humour, the enticing void of what it is to fall in love and what it is like to be ironically a normal lesbian, the pictures are pretty good as well :)

For present or former Pensylvanians, this book an interesting look at trivial and non-trivial, serious and zany, events in the Keystone State's history.

This book gives lots of information about the history of towns in the state of Pennsylvania. It is very entertaining and interesting. Even if you don't live there, you will enjoy this book.

The children's novel Shiloh is about a young boy, Marty Preston, who encounters a stray dog on one of his summer adventures through the West Virginia countryside. Marty befriends the dog only to find out that he belongs to Judd Travers, a hunter who abuses his dogs. Knowing in his heart that he cannot return the dog he has named Shiloh, Marty cares for the dog himself and eventually ends up working to buy Shiloh from Judd. Throughout this story, the character of eleven-year-old Marty goes through a metamorphosis as he develops from innocence to maturity with an understanding that life is not always just, and adult responsibility is complicated. At the beginning of the story, Marty is just an ordinary child enjoying a summer of frolicking in the hills of West Virginia with his .22 rifle. His moral development begins when he sees Shiloh for the first time and realizes he has been abused because of the dog's reluctant and almost fearful nature. After Marty decides to keep Shiloh, his internal conflicts begin when first he is forced to deal with the issue of legality versus morality. He knows that Shiloh legally belongs to Judd; however, Marty knows that the dog will end up being starved or even killed if he returns to his owner. Secondly, Marty feels anxious for deceiving his family. He has kept Shiloh a secret, and he has used food to feed Shiloh that the family needs. Marty feels great remorse for the pitiful impression he gives others of his family as he asks Mrs. Howard for extra cookies and Mr. Howard for scraps of cheese; however, he feels Shiloh's well-being is worth his family's reputation for being poor. The last "internal conflict" that Marty wrestles with is the issue of whether the dog is worth the hard labor Marty has to give to Judd in order to keep Shiloh. Judd Travers makes him slave away, almost unfairly, to win the legal rights of the dog. Throughout this novel, Marty learns the value of responsibility and all that it entails along with the costs of doing what is morally right. Jeanne Harms and Lucille Lettow propose that, "By dialoguing with oneself the reader brings different inner audiences into the reading experience, thus expanding the possibilities for creating meaning" (Harms 210). By analyzing Marty's character development, it is evident to the reader that these "internal voices" cause the protagonist to become a strong and successful character, and therefore by reading this book, the reader deals with the "inner voices" along with Marty. This novel forces the reader, child or adult, to battle out similar situations and, in effect, gain far more from the book than just a simple moral. This in turn, causes readers to grow personally by relating to the situations of conflict such as lying to family or doing what is right versus what is legal. By dialoguing with oneself the reader brings different inner audiences into the reading experience (Harms 210). Marty's "internal conflict" is the driving force behind his character development
