Enhanced with more than two hundred color photographs, Gil Nelson's The Ferns Of Florida: A Reference And Field Guide showcases some 163 kinds of ferns ranging from norther species whose southern range extends into the uplands of Florida's norther tier, to tropical ferns spilling over Florida's southern tip. The text is thoroughly "reader friendly" with detailed descriptions and helpful identification tips, along with an invaluable selection of field observation based botanical keys for identifying plants in their wild ecosystems. There are extensive notes on each species growth form, as well as the botanical names, unique characteristics, garden use, and history. An essential and core title for any Floridian based gardener, as well as the professional and academic horticulturalist or botanist, The Ferns Of Florida also includes a glossary, a section on the fern life cycle and structure, a history of fern study in Florida, a discussion of some of the state's best natural ferneries, and an extensive bibliography for further study.

This book is for anyone who has an interest in ferns and wishes to be able to distinguish one from the other. Great color pictures so that you can compare the subtle differences and make these ferns you own. Ferns are wonderful plants that require little care and are almost impossible to kill even with kindness. Enjoy.

This book has enlighted me to many phrases in the bible. I can find things much faster than just thumbing through. It is a great addition to my library.

Each Monday evening at Bible Study if we are not sure where to look when the Bible refers to diffferent books in the Bible this A to Z book has really helped out due to some confusing issues that are discussed in the Revelations Book. It would be a great gift and a great guide that each Bible Study should have at least one of. Thanks to a dear lady named Hannah who brought it! It has saved alot of time and you know an hour of Bible worship goes quickly!

I really have enjoyed using this cookbook...I especially like the ability to substitute different ingredients in each recipe to make it a bit different every time.

I rated this book 5 stars because it is not snobbish nor is it only for the tres-chic cook. It's the cookbook for everyone! Very simple and easy to follow and the variations are amazing. Nothing was too salty or too sweet. The recipes were very well-tested because they were 'just right.' It takes boredom out of the usual repetitive meals. It's also a great gift idea! I gave it to a friend for a gift and she loves it too!

I was extremely surprized by this book. It is quite well-written and it tells a terrific story -- and though it is fully first-person, Omar Bradley comes across as a really fine guy. While he genuinely earned the rank, authority and privilege he ultimately exercised as a top US Army general, the story of his slow-but-steady rise through the hierarchy conveys the depth of personality he had achieved by the time he reached the upper ranks. A biography of George Marshall calls Bradley the "most effective troop leader ever produced by the US military system," and one can certainly see the validity in that appraisal by reading his autobiography. Bradley's honesty about other famous generals is interesting (though it is true he pretty much outlived all of them, and was able to have the final word) and appropriatedly honest/kind. Not far into the book, you wish you actually knew him, he seems the sort who would make a great friend.

Bradley's evaluations of several significant events make this book essential reading for students of 20th Century history. The perspective from which he witnessed everything was perfect for retrospective observation -- he wasn't so high up (like Churchill) that he had a global view, nor so low down that he could only see the trenches. And his micro-brief account of Anthony McAuliffe's "Nuts!" episode is just laugh-out-loud funny.

An outstanding autobiography of General Omar Bradley. Informative and homorous at times, but always entertaining. I found the work to have no slow areas, it held my attention throughout. Not only is it the story of Omar Bradley but it is also the story of the US Army for the first half of the twentieth century. Students of World War II history and the true military professional will enjoy this book. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

This is a great book. It gets right to the point and shows you how to get your way in a step by step method, that is time tested and true. It is also an easily read book. If you ever need to learn manipulation this is the best place to find out how.

I read "Get Your Way" over a year ago and have read it 3 more times since. Every time I read it I get something new I can use. This book is easy to understand and follow. It is practical yet has a sense of humor. It has made me see that the goals I have are within reach and gives me tools to reach them. I highly recommend it for people who want to make a difference in their lives. Thank you, Dr. Nelson

This is more than just a fabulous book! It contains the answers to ALL of life's questions and concerns. It is also filled with all of the things God has promised to us in our times of need as well as our times of plenty. It is also an instruction booklet(any everybody says life doesn't come with one of those-- go figure)! Well, I've found it. You can too! When you need encouragement in any area and feel like you need to go to the Bible, but just can't seem to find anything that helps,READ THIS BOOK! It contains Bible verses that pertain to very specific situations in your life. There is a wonderful directory in the front which guides you exactly where you want to be... right in God's hands! READ IT... YOU WILL BE HUNGRY FOR MORE!

This is a great book. Whatever inspiration or encouragement you're looking for, just look in the directory in the front and it tells you what page to find it on. Excellent!

Neal Flomenbaum is the most amazing editor in the world, he contributes alot to this book and he's the best dad. Hi daddy,

Parents across the country are reeling from the terror of two school shootings in less than three weeks. They are asking, "My God, what can we do?" Dr. Nelson, in Good Discipline, Good Kids, has the answer. The children who have been pushed to the breaking point of this kind of violence share a common profile. They show signs of isolation, being bullied or treated as an outsider by their peers, anger or rage, fear or terror of being abandoned and unable to feel the feelings of others.

In this quick-read simple guide to good discipline, Dr. Nelson offers a one minute, yes - one minute process in which parents are empowered to connect with their kids, impart family values, instill a conscience in their children, respond to their misbehavior and affirm their good behavior, teach them how to feel other people's feelings, deepen the child's respect and affection for the parent, lessen the child's fear of abandonment and lay a solid foundation for good relationships for the rest of their lives. If you love your kids, get this book!

My daughter really has blossomed from being an easy child already into being a dream child as a result of being exposed to Dr. Nelson's amazingly practical, helpful and wise ideas. I have given copies of this book to several friends, and everyone I know who has seen it has been highly complimentary. It's a must have for parents who want to combine heart with excellent behavior in a gentle, effective way. If only it could work with dogs! Good work, Dr. Nelson

Raymond Nelson edits Harlem Gallery And Other Poems Of Melvin B. Tolson (1865-0), which presents works from one of the most recognized black voices in American poetry. His poems are here organized by topic and include notes for further study.

Melvin B. Tolson was recognized as one of the first African American poets whose poetry has been classified as being in the esoteric category. The implication of this statement means that Tolson was writing poetry in a format which would be acceptable by the greatest English and American poets. One of them who recognized Tolson was W.H. Auden, who wrote favorable reviews about Tolson's poetry. Tolson, who came after the last years of the Harlem Renissance era, knew many of the prominent writers and poets of that era, which lasted from the 1920s through the 1930s. He knew many of the well known writers and poets of that period, including Langston Hughes, Richard Wright, Zora Hurston, V.F. Cavington, Ralph Ellison, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Gwendolyn Brooks, Margaret Walker, W.E.B. Dubios, James Weldon Johnson and Charles S. Johnson. While he was at Wiley College, Marshall, Texas, Tolson established his reputation by publishing his first book of poems entitled, Rendezvous with America, in 1944. For years prior to that date, Tolson taught English classes to thousands of students since his arrival there from Lincoln University, Chester, Pennsylvania, in 1923. Also he was the coach of the famous Wiley College Debate Team, which included, James Farmer, who later became the founder of the CORE Civil Rights Organization.

What great, practical, down to earth advice! A book that gives hope that a terrific relationship is within everyone's grasp.

This book is packed full of honest, loving advice on maintaining the type of relationship we all want. If you hunger for a relationship that moves beyond the everyday and the ordinary, one that will be able to survive in our complex lives...then this is a book for you! It came from the Dawson's lives, their bedroom and their hearts and I thank them for sharing it with us...write another one!
