This book is a great book for anyone who enjoys a good, humourus, story. The first narrator, Geroge Gillet, is the Florida equivlent to Mark Twain. His humor and writing styles are remnants of a time long ago. The second narrator, Sarah Pamela, is a southern daughter caught in problems not of her time. It is her diary and her story of live in historic Florida. This book illustrates Florida as it has long been forgotten as the expanse of condos on the beach has given it a new face. This is a story of old Florida as it will never be totally forgotten.

I HATE novelizations. But these done for the great British TV mystery series starring Robbie Coltrane actually improve upon the teleplays, adding rich details and psychological insight to the already intense plots. These books could easily stand alone as a great series of psychological crime novels, unified in tone despite the fact that half a dozen different authors have been involved in their creation. Leave it to the Brits to once again do the impossible. First The Battle of Britain, now this...

Creek Indian History is one of the best books we have read. It is very informative. We have learned more from this book about our heritage and traditions than we thought possible. Just learning that the dead were buried under the floor of the home was fasinating. It's a book everyone wanting to know about the Creek Indians should read.

This book is spellbinding. Once you start, you won't want to finish. It is the compelling story of a man who tries to do the right thing.

This book provides the most realistic, introductory overview of criminal justice in America that I have ever seen. As a witness, student, and teacher of issues related to this field for many years, I have been consistently dismayed by the shallowness and lack of substantive material found in other works of this type. As well as what one would expect from such a book (e.g., explanations of the law, police, courts, theories of crime, how it is measured etc.), Shelden and Brown portray how criminal justice is affected by the politics, economics, and ideological underpinnings of the wider society and how these larger social forces are translated into the lives of real human beings. They do an excellent job of dispelling many of the popular myths that have helped create definitions of criminality, as well as legitimate what the system does as a response (e.g., all gang members or drug users are threatening and, therefore, deserve imprisonment). Ultimately, they illustrate how law and the system it upholds benefit some (the well off) at the expense of others (the poor and disadvantaged). Their extensive efforts give us a critical, well researched account of a system that is in dire need of change. Alternative conceptions of justice and viable solutions for change are, in fact, what they leave us with at the conclusion of their book. I give this book my highest recommendations.

A woderfully brilliant piece of writing, a text book all universities shuold keep in their libraries!

I have crocheted all my life. Until I received this book, I never ventured further than the basic stitches or trims. With it's clear illustrations and easy to follow instructions, I've been able to venture further than my normal "basic" crochet and become creative. I now combine it in many of my pieces: both in sewing and knitting, and even got brave and crocheted my first full vest. The book features finishing techniques and instructions for multi-color crochet, filet crochet, Irish Crochet, Bead crochet, motifs, granny squares, tassels, trims and edgings just to name a few. The sections on definitions and symbols are beautifully done. And there is a wonderful chart on comparative hook sizes in US, UK and metric sizes. The book explains yarn sizes and substitutions in an easy to understand manner, as well. There are also many Hints & Tips scattered throughout the book that help add lots of *inspiration*. In my humble opinion, this 6th book in the Companion series is one any fiber worker should not be without. And it's a great size to pop into your bag and take along with your project.
