Bear Hunting is a real page turner. You don't need to know anything about Russia to like this book. Gripping stuff, and I think the jacket blurbs by Pete Gent and Hunter Thompson say it all.

My younger sister got Bears Bears Everywhere for her birthday. Now my sister makes me read it to her everynight-sometimes even twice. I can even meomorise it by now but I still have to show her the cute bears. She cant go to sleep without it being read and she totally loves it. It is great.

This book contains very beautiful and fine selected pictures of Seattle. In a very sympathic way author Cheryl Landes tells little stories about Seattle.

This book is made for people who like to get a little and beautiful impression of Seattle.

I ordered this am awaiting it's arival. I went to the Barbara Kreuger exibit at the Whitney and It's the best art show I've ever seen. Her work is topical and cutting and an accurate criticism and contempt of societial standards in the Western world. If you want to be smart understand Barbara Kreuger.

BEYOND THE SCREEN is an apt title; it describes this book both literally and metaphorically. Nancy Berliner and fourcontributing writers dissect both the life and furniture of sixtheen and seventeenth China in a work that combines art, craft and social history. My husband, an amateur woodworker, was fascinated with descriptions of workmanship and digrams of joinery. I preferred the sections that talked about the people -- both the craftsmen (usually anonymous) that made the furniture and the elite who commissioned it. But the focus point of the book is undoubtedly the photographs of the furniture itself -- some pieces which are classically simple, others that are intricately carved. Berliner comments at length on each piece. For collectors of antique Chinese furniture -- or reproductions -- this book is an absolute must-have. It gives the story behind the craft and makes sitting down so much more interesting!

I am reading this book for the second time in 2 years. It gave me much insight into the value of suffering in one's life. It will provide the reader with meaningful answers to questions such as why me? It is an easy read. I have given this book to numerous friends who were experiencing some degree of suffering and they found it useful. One example of a powerful quote in the book is " self knowledge comes to us only in the dark times, when we are stripped of illusion and naked to truth". Blessings contains hundreds of thought provoking lines such as this.

Nowaday, the name Rebekah Harkness probably raised only a few eyebrows for the uninitiated. But at one time, not so long ago, she was one of the richest, and also infamous woman in the world.

"Blue Blood" tells the story of Rebekah Semple West, the rebellious socialite daughter of a wealthy businessman who went on to marry William Hale Harkness, one of the richest men of his days. After his untimely death, Rebekah inherited his fortune, and it seems where money goes, trouble follows.

To the public at large, Rebekah Harkness was a rich, generous (in truth, too generous) woman who backed the arts, including the Harkness Ballet. But what they don't know was that as generous as she can be, Rebekah's favor is also a fickle, and all too often, a fleeting thing. People who displeased her are quickly written out of the picture....but all too often, Rebekah, in an ever vicious cycle, replaced them with similar, if not worse, opportunists and syncophants.

While she may appear regal in public, her private life was a shambles. Even with all the money in the world, Rebekah failed miserably as a mother, sharing strained relationships with her children. Her attempts to buy approval and affection with her money only ended in ruined lives and a squandered fortune.

All that aside, Blue Blood did its research and constructed a complex and fascinating view of Rebekah Harkness. While it might paint Rebekah as a villain at times, it also remind us that for all her faults, Rebekah is still a human being and not a saint; and she's not supposed to be.

Chock full of interesting tidbits and gossip (and photos in the middle of the book), Blue Blood provides a rare look into the world where the rich mingled....

And reminds us that the only people who can truly appreciate wealth are those who didn't have it before and earned it themselves.

My daughter is 3 and she is a big fan of Blue's Clues, and she loves this book! It is great for learning the alphabet. Each page has a few letters, each letter is a flap, and under each flap is a picture that begins with the letter. The picture can also be found somewhere else on the page, which makes it a fun game. We have only had the book about two weeks and she already has is memorized. The flaps and not so sturdy and they bend easy if you aren't careful (but what flaps are?), but the book is defenetly worth its value!

My kids love the Blue's Clues show and this book is a fun wayto enjoy the best of both worlds. Playing Blue's Clues yet notsitting in front of the television. It is a treat to read with my kids and they love looking for clues!

Juan Bobo is a favorite of young children, and this book continues in the same noodlehead tradition of the original four folktales of Juan Bobo told in the An-I-Can-Read series.
