This is a fantastic series of photos, and is worth looking at. The pictures are not only well done, but many also have unique qualities about them that tell of their simple easy-going subjects. This is a book you will come back to again and again.

Men, you know what I speak of...
You're a WWII buff and factoid fanatic. ... This book has it all. Great vignettes about the vaunted weaponry of the Third Reich. Page by page you'll be captivated by the eye-catching layouts. I really enjoyed the way the authors intertwined true story vignettes with the technical details of the weapons ranging from small arms, tanks, aircraft, ships, subs, and more! An absolute must have for the WWII buff (and perfect addition to your "office").

Anyone who has ever used a router will learn something from this outstanding book. Initally,either novice or experienced router user might be set off by Warner's opinionated style but after using his techniques you will find his opinions are correct. The methods he conveys are designed for precision and safety. His reviews of the different types of routers is extensive and sould be read before anyone purchases either a new router or upgrades from an existing one. His opinions here propably have irratated some manufacturers but for a user they are very helpful. His extensive discussion of the appararatus used for controlling a router is the best I've ever read as is his thorough discussion of router bits. Before you buy another jig or guide for your router read this book. The money you save will pay for this book and his other two books. His extensive discussion of router tables is also very helpful. Anyone who has priced a manufactured router table lately should read this book first;what you save can purchase a new router! The pictures used throughout the book are clear, well placed, and very helpful. Although this is a short book at 137 pages it is absolutely full of immediately useful ideas. My only regret about this book was that after reading it I wanted more and more. Fortunately Pat Warner has written two more books:one on Router Jigs and another on Router Joinery both of which are just as good as this one. He also has an excellant Website. Pat Warner is a very rare type of craftsman who is a master of his craft and a masterful educator.

Huck and Jim True Friends Forever

In the book The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, we find out how people lived back in the 1850. Thanks to the book of Mark Twain, many people saw the reality of how African American people lived and how they were segregated from their loved ones and also the way they were treated when they were apart from each other. It also gave people a first hand looked on how African American people were look at as slaves, but also as people. It also gave people a chance to see that two different races were working together as a team to overcome obstacles and come out on top. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is indeed an educated book that should be taught in schools. It would give students a better view of how people lived in the South in the 1800's. In the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn a man by the name of Jim, who is a superstitious and believes in witches is ownd by a white lady by the name of Miss Watson who treats Jim like a person." Miss Watson who Is a tolerable slim old maid, with goggles always gave Huck Finn lectures on how to act preparedly and also tried to educated him"(pg. 33) Jim, who was slave, was superstitious because he believed in witches, he would always keep a five cent piece around his neck to cure anyone with it and that the nickel would fetch witches whenever he wanted. When Jim and Huck both were in the island, Jim goes through some frustrations about leaving his wife and two children. Huck is their and helps Jim by telling him that everything is all right. Huck talks to Jim like he was an ulnae person and not as a slave. One other angle was when Huck and Jim were traveling down the Mississippi River and were thrown off the raft by a strong current. Jim was very scared because he thought Huck was dead. When Huck came back to the raft he asked Jim why he didn't waken him up. Jim was scared because he thought Huck was a ghost. Huck was telling Jim that it was just a dream and he was all right. Since Jim is a gullible person he told Huck "oh well that's all right, because a dream does tire a body like everything, sometimes. But that one was a staving dream, (pg99)" When Jim explained the whole story to Huck, Huck felt sorry for Jim. Huck felt that he could almost kiss Jim's foot to get him to take it all back. For about fifteen minutes Huck humbled himself to a black man who was Jim and Huck was never sorry for doing so. Like when Nat Hentoff said, "look at that Huck Finn, Reared in racism like all the white kids in town. And then, on the river on the raft with Jim the most honest, perceptive, fair-minded man this white boy has ever known"(pg365) What Hentoff mentions here is true because, both Jim and Huck simply relied on themselves to get by. Whever Huck got in trouble, poor Jim is there to mourn, cry or rescue he's good old pal Huck Finn. Both Huck and Jim worked together on the raft to travel down the river. There is no denying the rightness of Huck's decision to risk his soul for Jim. Since Huck travels with Jim down the river he acquires for poor Jim. "Since Huck prefers to go to hell because he's helping Jim, this has little to do with any respect he has gained for Jim as a human being with an inalienable right to be owned by no one"(pg367) As both Huck and Jim travel down the Mississippi River Jim acts like a father to Huck because he allows the boy to sleep when he should stand watch guard on the raft. Jim gives the affection that Huck never receives from his real father. By this time Huck respects Jim as a friend and as a person. Since the book takes us back to the 1850 many people were accustomed to what was going on back then. But since, it's the new millennium many people are discussed with the book Adventure of Huckleberry Finn because it brings down the African American people. But Huck and Jim looked to be best of friends because they went through a lot of bad things and both of them helped each other out. In my opinion I think that it should be taught in schools so people could know how two different people from different races, ages and cultures came together to help each other through rough and tough times. Through their perseverance they manage to come out on top.

Hair is a great musical, and this book has ALL of it's best songs. The book also includes many pictures of the movie version of Hair. Some songs in this book are: Air, Aquarius, Black Boys, Donna, Easy to be Hard, Frank Mills, Good Morning Starshine, Hair, I Got Life, Let the Sunshine In, 3-5-0-0, What a Piece of Work is Man, and White Boys. Those are only about half of the selections though! This book has become one of my favorites. The music of 'Hair' is great to sing along to!!!

Beginners will love The Harper Handbook. My edition is just over 600 pages, chock-full of information. The handbook alphabetically references terms that relate to literature, from terms you know (metaphor) to those you might not (prosopopoeia). The explanations it gives are concise, but very helpful, often with examples. For example, if the book is discussing pastoral dramas, it gives a list of six plays, with publication dates and playwrights. In the back of the book there is a "Chronology of Literature and World Events" that puts a date on many events in the world, Britain, and the US. There's also an index of people mentioned in handbook entries.

This music is beautifully written for piano. It sounds exactly like the soundtrack. You could even play along with the soundtrack if you wanted to. It includes Diagon Alley, Family Portrait, Harry's Wonderous World, Hedwig's Theme, Quidditch, Voldemort, Fluffy's Harp, and Hogwart's Forever. Harry's Wonderous World is really fun to play and challenging. This book also comes with some pictures in the front, which I thought was kind of neat. But well, I love the soundtrack to death and playing it on the piano makes it seem even more magical to me. You will not regret buying this!!
