This book takes a very famous case and turns it into an interesting story. You may, however, find it not very useful for the purpose of research. But I used this book for a research paper and found it very helpful. The author adds many detailed descriptions of what's happening, and it makes me feel involved. Also, besides simply commenting on the Supreme Court case, the author traces the case all the way back to its originating in the three-judge court. The author also discusses the feelings of the public and both sides of the issue. It is very well-rounded. If you are interested in the issue of abortion, you should read this book!

I hate reading but this book made me want to get to the end to see what happens!

I would reccomend it to anyone!

Marion Molteno has the ability make your skin respond to the climactic situation of London in November or Zambia or South Africa in the full glare of high summer..your ear can hear and your body feel the dark brown timbre of a solo viola and can lift you out of your chair and suspend you on a single cello note. She can bring unexplained tears to your eyes and then to your cheeks and all the way to your chest [though you don't know why] when she writes of recieving written music through the post.She can give you her loneliness to use in place of your own and soothe your sad longing. She can tear through your most well crafted excuses and ask you,as would an infant, why you don't just 'be happy?'. She can pull this vehicle through the most wrenching manoevers as if it were the flow of a sweet and subtle dance which you feel you can do the same...or at least want to

Bought the book on a Monday. Finished the next day. If you liked the classic "The Grapes of Wrath", then you will enjoy this book.
I experienced the "tears" and "lump in my throat", as experienced by Billy Joe. Wish all fathers and stepfathers could relate to their sons as did stepdaddy. Enjoyable reading. Going to read others by this author.

Wow! Loads of terrific pointers and advice all in a very easy to read format. I've never seen so many different important topics covered in one place, but it's so easy to find exactly what you want. Takes the place of several books on separate topics. A real time and money saver.

This book will appeal to more dedicated movie fans, consisting as it does of 38 interviews with folks who are largely unknown outside the movie community. These include assistant directors, set designers and builders, publicity men, actors' agents, sound recordists, and extras. We get insight into the lives of artisans, most of whose names do not crop up in fan mags, gossip columns, or in Oscar balloting. But these people harbor a great affection for the movie business and their part in it. They express pride in their accomplishments, unsung though they may seem. Where outsiders may consider an Oscar the only valid reward available to members of the movie community, an assistant director, camera operator, or sound recordist can treasure a compliment from a film's director at the end of a hard day's shooting just as much as a more public award. The moral of this book is that the Hollywood life need not be lived in the public eye or on the grand scale to be satisfying. My main quibble with the book is that I would have liked the interviews to be longer and more numerous.

The text suggests many excellent patterns to organize technical writing: how to describe processes and mechanisms, how to organize a classification, an interpretation, a recommendation, a proposal, a research effort. My writing gets noticed for its quality and professionalism. The book makes me think more clearly and helps me organize my thoughts on paper - an unexpected result.

A great overview and guidebook of Venice, which includes many photographs and maps. Its compact size lends itself to easy travel, but would look great on the bookshelf at home also. The contents of the book are divided into different sections of the city. Historical and artistic background is given as well. The only problem is that there are some misspellings. This book made me want to return to Venice!

Ms. Nicholson deftly gathers some thiry years of diaries, letters and clippings and knowlegly weaves them into the great and small events in victorian england. Marion Sanborne, wife of Linley Sanborne the Punch illustrater, began a diary in 1881 and through it you get an understanding of what life was like for a woman who was neither famous or infamous. Fasinating insights into daily life. Visitors to London can visit her preserved home which houses the England Victorian Society. Ive read it through three times- love the problems with servants and linleys early use of photos

Walt Disney's adaptation of Joel Chandler Harris's classic collection of stories is a wonderful selection for any child, but is a virtual must-own for children of the Deep South. The stories narrated by the fictional slave "Uncle Remus" detail the lives and relationships of a broad assortment of woodland creatures. The book includes the classic "Brer Rabbit and the Tar-Baby," as well as lesser-known tales such as "The Wuller-de-Wust." The beautifully illustrated depictions of the misadventures of Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox, and Brer Bear will enthrall youngsters of all ages as they read or listen to the stories. This is a book that I hope to pass down through generations of my family, just as my grandfather passed it on to me. You owe it to your children to obtain a copy, especially now that the book has gone out of print.
