I found this book absoloutly wounderful. It countians amazing facts and wounderful pictures. The book has facts about how people lived with the sea and the animals in it. This book is excellent.

This is a book with all the answers to anything a person may want to know about Texas lighthouses, including their construction, history, and all of the data about them. It's really complete and exhaustive but not at all dull to people who like lighthouses. I think all Texas lighthouse lovers should have this book.

This book is well worth the time. It is well written. Characters were well developed and the story line is great. Lots of interesting history woven around an amazing true story. Good for family reading.

What an absolutely wonderful book! A children's prayer book for every need. I really enjoy how the author accurately verbalizes the everyday concerns of children. I especially like the theme of being able to pray to God about anything. I bought this book for my niece as a Christmas gift and she takes it everywhere with her. I would highly recommend this book to anyone with a young female relative. I even bought one for my own library.

The text in the book is very sweet. However, the best part about this book are the pictures. They are very vibrant and extremely beautiful. I read it to my class and they really enjoyed it.

Alan Baker's artwork is great -- the rabbits are adorable, the flowers beautiful. The pictures are big and uncluttered. It's pleasant to read again and again and again and ...well, you know how toddlers are with favorite books! Best of all, though, are the BIG flaps children can lift to find a barking dog, meowing cat, etc. My 18mo. old laughs with delight as she finds the animals on each page. These flaps were made with toddlers in mind -- they're not inset in the page (which would make the hard to grasp). It's a sturdy book, too. We're on child #2 reading it at our house, and all the flaps are still intact. Amazing.

Wonderful book that teaches, in an interactive way, timekeeping to a child in a fun way. The sample clocks in text show digital and analog time. I highly recommend it!

My daughter is 2 1/2 years old and this book has become one of her favorites. Aside from pointing to the pictures and naming the objects, we play some of the games suggested by the book. She enjoys looking for the animals or objects that I name for her or telling me what sounds the animals make. As she gets older, I think this book will be a nice companion for early writing and spelling exercises. With a little imagination, this book can be a highly versatile part of any child's library.

Whether beginning a Liturgy Committee or reforming an existing one, this book covers the guidelines as to how to accomplish everyone's goal of great liturgy. It re-focuses the energy of the committee from the extreme details to the overall enviroment.

The explanation of what the committee should focus on, how to focus on the selected part of the liturgy, and evaulate how the effect of the focus of the committee, is invaluable to accomplishing the the committee's goals.

The book also addresses what 'everyone' thought a Liturgy Committee was all about and how to overcome those preconceived ideas and communicate the real meaning to the commuity.

Anyone who wants to have a great impact on the liturgy of their parish should purchase this book for each member of the committee.

As a junior political science major at UNC, I have had to read a lot of books similar to Kens's. These books focus on a particular case, be it the Skokie trial, the Tinker armband case, the Chadha legislative veto case or the Bakke affirmative action case. Anthony Lewis's Gideon's Trumpet book seems to be the first of this kind.

Kens' book is by far the best of its type that I have read. The other books of this genre I've read in this genre deal too much with the proceedings of a case. For instance, Mr. Chadha had this legal problem, he got this lawyer, they went through this legal proceeding, they had to refine their arguments, they went to the next appellate court, blah blah blah. Frankly these kinds of details are boring, and give little if any insight into the importance of a given case.

Kens's has a different approach. Instead of going into great detail about why Mr. Lochner picked a given lawyer, Kens goes into great detail of the impetuses for the passage of the law that Mr. Lochner was challenging. He talks about the social and political climate of the times, tying in influential theories of the day like Social Darwinism and laissez-faire economics. Kens clearly places the case of Lochner v. New York in its historical framework. This, it seems, is a superior method for studying an important case like this one.

I would strongly urge this book to any professor teaching a constitional law/history class. I would also strongly recommend it to a student looking for a good introduction to the study of substantive due process.
