Good adventure book with a strong female character Great Colorado setting

I found this book to be excruciatingly detailed about the movement of people to the west in an attempt to escape the overpowering influence of an omnipotent federal government. It's words demonstrated that a people steeped in the idea of freedom can come together to create a government. For those who are interested in the history not found in academic texts, this is real eye opener. Buy it. Read it. Learn from it.

Ben Franklin was a man of many talents and accomplishments. He was a writer, politician, soldier, musician, inventor, and entrepreneur. He helped lead our country to independence, and traveled the world as a statesman. But he often best known for his inventions and boundless curiosity.

Ms Schanzer's entertaining text is written in an easy to read, conversational style, and is rich in history, trivia, fun facts, and wit. Her playful illustrations complement the text beautifully and are filled with bold color, humor, and captivating, eye-catching details. Together word and art provides a clever and appealing history lesson that is sure to whet the appetite and send kids out looking for more. With a marvelous Author's Note at the end to further enlighten and augment the story, How Ben Franklin Stole The Lightning is a masterpiece of fun-filled learning, perfect for kids 7-11, that shouldn't be missed.

A great source of humor to add to any professional talk a speech pathologist may give. Well organized too. Who knew there were so much humor associated with speech pathology?

Wow! I was required to read this book for a history course, but was amazed at the depth and feeling that is gleaned from the immigrant experience. Whether for education, entertainment, or if you would like to gain perspective on ancestral roots, I highly recommend this book. In a semester of drab, boring history reading, this book stood out!

A fascinating story of a "wild" Indian who made his way successfully through the various stages of his life: from the unfettered freedom of the mountains, to the tenuous search for refuge in a hostile environment, through the confinement of the reservation, to the peaceful contentment of Christian love. Jason tells the remarkable story of his life from 1860 to 1959 with self-effacing honesty. He will certainly blur, if not erase, the stereotypical image of the "Hollywood" Apache.

Just completed exploring many references in planning to develop a business in Africa and maybe the Carribean. IBN's International Guide was the most comprehensive and user friendy reference that I found. It was very organized and specific, including the names and telephone numbers of contacts. The author was excellent in his research and breadth of information. It is very much worth the price.

I bought this book when it first came out in the UK. I have been fascinated by fairies all my life and I really wanted a book that dealt with true fairy mythology, rather than children's fairy stories of the Peter Pan variety. This book brings togther fairy legends and lore from all over the globe and I was forced to think about fairies in a new light. Not all fairies are good, and not all fairies are pretty, but oh, don't they all have a fascination for us! I have never seen such a big dictionary of fairies, with about 3000 entries. The pictures are wonderful, sometimes beautiful, sometimes awe inspiring, sometimes glamourous and sometimes frightening, just like the fairies themselves. And I for one wouldn't have them any other way!
