Katherine Hartnett's book, "Tasting the Hamptons", seems to capture the bounty of local produce and spirit of creative cooking which makes the Hamptons a resort area known for its unique restaurants and inns. It's been fun trying recipes from favorite area restaurants, as well as breakfast recipes made famous at their lovely B&B. Anyone who's ever been to the Hamptons , or would like to go, would enjoy this book, not only for the recipes, but local poetry and drawings as well.

This is a wonderful book with great recipes, scripture and short stories to share with family and friends. It can be used for Bible study groups, home study.

The authors provide a practical guide to developing a training program designed to help people with communication difficulties. The authors also provide a state of the art review of the current training issues regarding the treatment of shyness, apprehension, and reticence.

This graphic novel retells the episodes related to Merlin from Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae (History of the Kings of Britain). Told from the point of view of both Uther and Merlin through a series of flashbacks to explain why Uther is the half dead king of the title.

The Venturers is a family history of the highest caliber. It is a well researched and masterful blend of history, genealogy and drama covering 300 years of American history and the role of the Hampton family, beginning with William Hampton the immigrant who came to Virginia from England in 1620 and their allied Harrison and Earle Families. The author, Virginia G. Meynard is a seasoned journalist and experienced genealogist. Make no mistake in thinking this to be mostly narrative; it is a solidly and extensively researched genealogy for either the budding or professional genealogist.

As a writer/storyteller, I was captivated by this review of Ong's life-long endeavor to bring back the vocal word to the culture. Farrel's inclusion of other familiar proponents of the evolution of human consciousness (Buber, Chardin, Cargas) and noted contemporaries such as John Bradshaw, gave this lay person a feeling of comfort among scholarly dialogue. Ong's acceptance of modern technology, such as TV, gives credence to his "ordinary language philosophy." The focus of Farrell's study, is the "feeling/valuing function" of our human consciousness, and also the focus of many psychologists today. Not a quick read, yet a page turner nevertheless.

In 1863 New York City, police officer Benjamin McCauley patrols the poor Irish neighborhood of Five Points. Benjamin is a bit frustrated because the residents do not trust police after their experiences with law enforcement in their native land. When he finds a murder victim, Benjamin expects no help. However, Sarah Granger, manager of the Second Avenue mission for Needy Children, helps the cop by taking charge of the victim's little boy and his infant sister.

Benjamin begins his inquiries, but receives no information from the neighborhood residents. He returns to the mission allegedly trying to obtain clues from Sarah and the little boy. However, deep in his gut he knows he goes back there to see Sarah, who is also attracted to the police officer. Unbeknownst to Sarah and Benjamin, the case is linked to a Southern conspiracy to cause problems for the Northern Army. The conspirators will do anything including murder to further their cause.

WOVEN DREAMS weaves elements of a historical mystery into a Civil War romance. The mix works as Benjamin struggles between his love and respect for Sarah vs. police procedures in a murder investigation. The lead characters are a fine duo while the distraught little boy will touch readers' hearts. The who-done-it and historical tidbits add to the excitement and turn Joanna Hampton's tale into a winner.

Ghost soliders vividly recounts the ardorous, brutal and, at times, surreal lives of the Bataan deathmarch survivors through their rescue in early 1945. Unfortunately, the book reads like a long magazine article from a post-war Saturday Evening Post weekly. I found Sides creating suspenseful and climatic situations unnecessarily--the tense lives of these prisoners and valor of their rescuers (with a huge and essential assist from the local Filipino villagers and warriors) need no written artifices to convey the fearful and horrific circumstances of their daily existence. I also found the editing sloppy, with sub-stories that did not mesh, lost fragments without conclusion and redundancies (the pet monkey, the introduction of two chaplains, repeating a soldier's hometown and background on the same page, to name a few.) Read any WWII book by Stephen Ambrose to see how straigtforward, tell it like it happened prose can be profound and awe-inspiring. A sharp editor's pencil and eye could have turned this incredible story into a fabulous book. All in all, still a worthy read, though I would have also liked more pictures, esp. since 4 professional photographers accompanied the rescuers!!

This is a great war story that is moving for both the depravity of Japanese treatment of American POW's and our soldier's struggle to survive.

Ghost Soldiers traces American GI's from the Bataan Death March through their internment in the Japanese prison system and the eventual liberation of several hundred during a daring raid on the prison at Cabanatuan by an army Ranger unit. It is a gripping and well written story that will keep you fixed to the pages of this fine book.

The first chapter is searing and just about the saddest piece of history I've ever read. The massacre of American prisoners at Palawan tipped the US Army to the danger faced by other POW's operating under a Japanese policy of prisoner annihilation as the Empire's prospects faded late in the war. Knowing that 500 prisoners were at the Phillipine camp Cabanatuan ahead of the US Sixth Army unleashed what is perhaps the war's most dramatic rescue mission in early 1945.

Hampton Sides is a good writer who knows how to keep a story moving. He weaves back and forth between the prisoners and their Ranger rescuers withoug breaking the story pace. He also traces the history of the prisoner's experiences under Japanese authority. The sadistic barbarity with which the captors treated American prisoners is amazing for its uniformity. Sides brings enough of Japanese culture and military training into the story to show how almost everyone from top commanders to lowly prison guards were perhaps predisposed to the atrocities that visited our soldiers with stunning regularity through their long months of starvation and neglect.

The threads of the story come together nicely with a climatic battle scene that will glue your attention to the pages.

This is a well written story that deserves to be remembered both as a testament to the barbarity of the war-era Japanese army and the heroics of POW survival and American arms.

Another amazing story in the annals of US Military history. I am always intrigued by the bravery of our men at arms. This book tells the forgotten story of WWII prison camps and Japanese atrocity. While it's heart rending to read of our young men being beheaded by brutal enemy soldiers or stabbed to death with sabers, it's important to remember that the reality of war often exposes the savagery of men.

Ghost Soldiers is a gripping tale of heroism and endurance, you will weep for the young prisoners as they die at the hands of their Japanese captors and rejoice when the Ranger Battalion finally reaches them in the most daring rescue of World War II. I strong recommend this book to any avid reader of military non-fiction. It is very well written, fast paced and historically accurate. Add it to your library proudly.
