WHO INVENTED THE MARINE JET? Controversy has raged for years over this question.A New Zealand sheep farmer, Bill Hamilton, has been said to be its inventor, but he himself never made such a claim. He said "I do not claim to have invented marine jet propulsion." was his response to a critic in 1962. The honour probably belongs to a gentleman named Archimedes. This book outlines the development from the 1950's thru to the 1200HP racing boats used today in the sport of JETSPRINT.

A must have.

...from a cancelled product line. Birthright was one of TSR's most innovative settings, so I was startled that it was cancelled after less than 3 years. There were misfires (a couple lackluster adventures and the seemingly endless barrage of realm books) but this supplement proves just how good Birthright could be. The spectacular glimpse into a distant past when noble Giants ruled the land is worth the price alone.

Like a medic writing from the trenches about the ravages of war, Dr. Cwayna shares his unique perspective as a medical doctor who has dedicated his life to the service and medical treatment of homeless youth. Dr. Cwayna provides expert insights into the needs of these kids and the inadequacies of our social system that are supposed to serve them. Dr. Cwayna goes beyond an analysis of these systems, he introduces us to the unique kids he works with and shares the pains and struggles that brought them to live on the streets. A heartfelt book by a gifted author and healer.

This series is easy to read and laid out conveniently. The puzzles are challenging without being insane. These are my mom's current favorites, and I would recommend them to fans of the crossword puzzles appearing in the NY Times or LA Times.

I just bought this book yesterday, and have been unable to put it down since then. It's an edge of your seat book and I highly recommend it to anyone who is involved in sports of any kind. It really makes you think. Highly recommended!!!

Have you have ever wondered what it would be like to know absolutely whether someone is lying or not? Mr. Stark does a masterful job at answering this question...and more. The gift to humanity - a fool proof lie detector the size of a wrist watch. The catch - small packages do not always contain good things as illustrated by the disturbing results of Mr. Stark's gift to the World come to fruition. His insight into the human psyche, realities, consequences and ultimate mayhem caused by this seemingly harmless little device is frightening. This is truly a testimony to excellent research in fiction writing. Stark reminds us that we have the technology...but are we ready for it? Can we handle...THE TRUTH!

This is probably the finest book on the minstrel show which I have encountered. Many threads involving race, history and popular art are connected, giving some new slants on this curious, but still very resonant, cultural phenomena.

Freya Stark had an opportunity to visit this remote archaeological site when it was still possible to travel there. This book is the zenith of her prodigious work in that Afghanistan has always been associated with a remoteness that is difficult to describe. The difficulty of her travel to Ghor Province is a story that she could recount in last years.

If you love schnautzer miniature just read this book. Read it, read it, read it, and you will become an expert.
