We are trying to bring our daughter up multi-lingual and read her many French stories. This is her favorite bedtime story. She knows the end of almost all sentences. You will need a good knowledge of French to read this story. The illustrations are great and the book is easy to handle. The story is about Charlotte who buys a special birthday balloon for her baby sister, who loses the balloon. Charlotte ends up climbing a big ladder encountering different workmen and finally recuperates the balloon. We have many other Annick press books as my daughter's name is Annick and especially like the ones about Canada as we try to teach her as much as we can about her Motherland. Other favorites are Je t'aimerai toujour (Love you forever) and 40 degrees below zero, all Annick Press of course.

Why ruin a perfectly good friendship with marriage. Look to your causual acquintences for a potential mate. Nothing will ruin a marriage quicker than open communication, shared interests, and sex. A must read if you are planning to get married or wanting to get divorced.

This is an excellent addition to the Martha's Vineyard series. I got it from the libray, which is about the only way you'll be able to get a copy because it is almost as scarce as hen's teeth. You can enjoy the series without reading the first three which are regretably out of print, but hopefully the publishers will get a clue and reprint the first three. Go to your local library and see if you can find these and then enjoy.

Jeff Jackson and the characters of Martha's Vineyard are always up to some new tricks. The good thing - there are new books coming out all the time. Keep up the good work.

Craig Womack's first fiction novel, "Drowning in Fire" reads at once like a familiar story told numerous times by your grandmother and like the exciting first experience with a new adventure. The writing is poetic and captivating, as are the inter-twined stories. Mr. Womack writes in a unique style combining stream-of-consciousness memory recall, brilliant use of local dialects and languages, and colorful characters lovingly described. The book reads like a first-hand account of personal history. It is a "can't put it down" page turner and a "I must re-read that page several times for the pure enjoyment of it" storytelling masterpiece. It is poetry and action adventure at the same time.

The story is about the experiences of growing up Native American and gay in the straight, white world of Oklahoma. But, it is also about what it means to be Native American, gay or not; it is about what it means to be gay, Native or not; and it is about growing up as an outsider in this world, Oklahoma or not. It is arare book that trancends time, setting amd race to touch universal themes, and "Drowning In Fire" accomplishes this.

With this work, Craig Womack helps define modern Native literature. He has also written one hell of an entertaining, enjoyable, important book. Read this and you will not be sorry.

After I built my first dulcimer, it took me three years to understand how to play it. Neil's book was the key that unlocked the mystery. And, it fits right in my case!

This book does a very good job at breaking down each section in easily understandable concepts. Diagrams are designed to be intuitive and instructional, and the various charts are helpful as well. Many high-level industry examples are provided throughout the book to highlight key points, whereas review questions and exercises will help readers confirm their comprehension. In summary, the book is great for students and people who wish to familiarize themselves with e-business, and can be used as training course material.

An excellent tool for teachers. Easy to follow step by step instructions guide you through the lessons. Obtaining materials needed, such as plastic eggs (available around easter) and plastic oviparous animals may be time consuming, but it is well worth the effort. My students loved the lessons! I highly recommend this teachers guide.

I read this book when a was a very young child. It happened to be the first book that I had ever read. The story was also very meaningful for someone of my age, so I'd strongly recommend this book.

This is must book for everyone in physical mathematics.

It belongs to a category of books (like Mead's book or
Hoenig's book) that try to derive quantum mechanics from
classical. However, ONLY this one makes its point
so roundly that the Nobel committee should consider it
for its excellence.

The authors demonstrate doing effectively classical
statistical mechanics that the Schroedinger equation
is valid in asymptotic limit of slow transitions
where nonlinear effects are absent and thus the quantum jumps
are necessary. Should the classical field mechanics
of electromagnetism be used correctly no jumps
are present and everything comes from the underlying theory!

It was awaited for long that quantum mechanics was a phenomenological theory. Unfortunately Pseudophilosophical
statements of ignorance made quantum mechanics a prime
physical theory although it is only the shadow of truth.

Read this book and reccomend it to others; I do not know if it is the ultimate resolution but surely is on the right track.
Perhaps the beginning of a new era in physical mathematics.

I love this little jewel of a book. It brings tears along with awe and joy in the inestimable power of the human spirit so eloquently expressed by Craig. Especially parents and grandparents of ASD children will be moved and heartened by hearing what they know their child is feeling but cannot express. I urge all of you who love a "special needs" person to give yourself and everyone you know the gift of this treasure.
