In a world where industry and technology have wiped away almost all traces of the way the land used to look, it is incredibly rare to find a person who can see straight through the agricultural history of the past century. In Robert Adams book, Los Angeles Springs, he documents the landscape of Los Angeles as we often know it. But with closer investigation it becomes clear that he is showing us something different, something older. Adam shows us the distruction of land, but more importantly he shows us a hint of what the land might have looked like before it was touched by man. In doing this he not only shows us the past, but also a hope for the future.

Rodríguez Lluesma sets Smith's thought against a context stemming from the Elightented ideas in Philosophy, Law and social theory which, even today, shape our minds. It is a real must for anyone interested in the origins of social and economic thought. And it is well written too.

A great adventure about a visitor in a foreign land. Great insight into the life and love of Brazil. Recommended for all who wish to travel abroad without leaving the safety and privacy of their own room! Written in a beautifully poetic style!

Darrell Adams is indeed gifted. He writes beautifully, but above all, he writes deeply.

After reading many other books about sexual addiction, I was becoming learned about the addiction and why my significant other may have gone down the path to sexual addiction. What I wasn't understanding was ME. Then I found this book.

I feel Love, Infidelity and Sexual Addiction (A CoDependent's Perspective) should be the first book read by anyone struggling with being in a relationship with a sex addict. It certainly helped me understand MY emotion and behaviors instead of the addict's emotions and behaviors. Who CAN we try to help after all; only ourselves. (Keep the focus on yourself)

It's more important to first make the choice to be personally healthy and then "try" to understand the addict's behaviors. This is a must read.

very cool mystery. check it out; also see Za'Varuk's Stone and Pleidian Tales by the same author. great new author with fresh ideas in fantasy, occult, horror, and other genres.

This book is a fun gift and/or item to have around the home. Great for kids too.

The coverphoto is impressing and striking: a woman who lost her hair due to chemo, because she had cancer. She lost her battle against this horrible disease. She was a close friend of Bryan's and he dedicated his photobook to her. He photographed only women: celebrities like Shania Twain or Winona Ryder, but also the common girl. The photos are kept black and white and I think, if you take pictures of people, you get the most astonishing result only with black and white. It's a wonderful book.

As a lover of historical fiction and a student of colonial North America, I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Originally written in 1946, "Madeleine Takes Command" is a true story of the 17th century Canadian frontier. With her parents away, it is up to 14 year old Madeleine de Vercheres and her two younger brothers to lead the defense of a small outpost against a surprise Mohawk attack. Based on actual events, this book gives us comfortable moderns a harrowing glimpse into the rough and perilous past.

The characters are charming, sympathetic, and perfectly in keeping with those real people described in the Jesuit Relations and other primary sources of the time period. Though Madeleine is truly a courageous figure, at no time does she become "Xena, warrior princess," performing impossible feats of physical strength. Instead, she is able to preserve the family homestead with quick thinking, tireless energy, steady resolve, self-denial, an optimistic spirit, and devotion to family.

This Bethlehem reprint is attractively presented and includes a dozen or so illustrations. It's perfect for kids ages 10 and up, and also an enjoyable read for an adult. It makes great supplemental reading for the study of colonial North America and is highly recommended to homeschooling parents.

I was very impressed with this book. The story is strong, exciting and not a bit sentimental or over done. Madeleine is a wonderful heroine.

MADELEINE VERCHERE'S story is based on a true account of colonial French Canada of the 1690's. 14-year-old Madeleine is left alone with two younger brothers at the Verchere family's fort and few others when the Iroquois Indians attack. We follow the brave and determined stratagems of Madeleine and her small circle.

The qualities of courage, self-sacrifice, familial love and devotion abound. (Doesn't the mere mention of those chararacter qualities make you feel desperate for our current generation??)

Usually at the end of a book I'll say "yea, that was a good book but I would change this or that to make it better" I honestly can't think of anything I would change in this master re-telling of Madeleine Verchere.

I wish Ethel C. Brill had written a dozen other books. She is a sharp writer and this is an excellent book.
