CISSY LAVENDAR has a wonderful plot for young children. It can capture the attention has you imagine Miss Cisssy Lavendar hanging up the wash with a cat playfully lying atop her head. The story is very clever with fun illistrations. Cissy Lavendar is a short story that can be enjoyed by all.

this was a very good book that I really enjoyed reading, it is a simple down to earth romance story about a lady from a big city named Hannah Chase who goes to the country and meets a guy named Jake McCabe, it is a sweet little romance book that brings a smile to your face while reading it and I could definitely read it again!

Clark's book is an excellent and thoroughly researched history of the little know civil resistance movement in Kosovo that sprang up in the early 1990s until war broke out in 1998. Clark's research is impeccable (much of it first hand) and this piece is a must read for anyone trying to get a more thorough understanding of this conflict.

THIS IS A STURDY LOOK AT A GRAET MOVIE ACTOR.A perfect companion to the joan crawford book, as both books include their film "possessed"."Gone with the wind" is also well covered.All three figures look like him, the second one is very impressive. With a welcome tribute to his love for Lombarde with their only film together.WELL DONE SIR.

I have grown up loving fairy tales, and I collect books of fairy tales. I happened to be at [the store] one day, sometime before Christmas, and I noticed Christian Birmingham's book of Charles Dickens' classic "A Christmas Carol". I looked at it for a while, surprised that I haven't seen any of this illustrator's previous work. I continued to look around and I found "The Classic Treasury Of Hans Christian Andersen". I looked at it, and was amazed at how magical and beautiful the illustrations were. All of the illustrations in this book capture the timeless fairy tales of Andersen perfectly. I was once again reunited with some of the stories I grew up loving like "The Little Mermaid", "The Little Match Girl", among others.
The luminous illustrations complement the black and white drawings so that it's just the right amount of artwork to capture pivotal scenes from the stories without overdoing it. I love the color illustrations of Thumblina flying through the air with her bird friend, the black and white drawing of the Little Mermaid saving the prince from drowning, the color illustration of the nightingale signing on the branch of blossoms as the captivated people watch it, and the black and white drawing of the Little Match Girl being taken to Heaven by her Grandmother. These are truly beautiful stories brought to life by an outstanding illustrator. Although you would expect all fairy tales to have perfectly happy endings, many of Andersen's do not. It is up to the reader to decide if the endings are happy or not. I would say they are bittersweet, but beautiful just the same. Anyone who is looking for an excellent book of these stories, or just for a good picture book, I HIGHLY recommend this!!!

This is an excellent book for pediatric residents and medical students in pediatric rotations. The book is organized by symptom e.g. abdominal pain, chronic cough, and it provides a comprehensive list of differential diagnosis, flow charts for diagnosis, as well as short discussions on most common diseases associated with that particular symptom. A must for pediatric rounds.

Recommended in "A Basic List of Recommended Books and Journals for Support of Clinical Dentistry in a Nondental Library" in Bulletin Of the Medical Library Association, July 1997. However, the lack of a recnet edition is dissapointing.

An editor recommended this book to me back when I landed my first job on a copy desk. It was an inspiration. I have since moved on to progressively higher positions and am now editor in chief of a big-city daily. I would recommend this book for anyone who seeks an editorial position - reporters, editors, copy editors, even photographers. No other book, except maybe AP's The Word, will put you in a better frame of mind for producing high-quality journalism.

Deftly compiled and edited for contemporary readers by Henry C. Clark, Commerce, Culture, & Liberty: Readings On Capitalism Before Adam Smith is an amalgamation of significant writings published before Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations" (1776) impacted the world's perceptions on economics. A wide variety of authors ranging from Voltaire, to Ferdinando Galiani, to Jean-Jacques Rousseau, contribute to this absorbing source of pre-Adam Smith perceptions and judgements about economic matters prior to the birth of the American nation as a capitalist beacon to the nations of the world.
