HIROSHIMA IN AMERICA: FIFTY YEARS OF DENIAL is required reading for a class I am presently taking on Hiroshima, but it should be required reading for everyone in America. I found the book to be both interesting and intriguing. The authors, Lifton and Mitchell, give a very detailed account of how the Americans treated and responded to the dropping of the A-bomb and its effects on the Japanese people living there. HIROSHIMA also offers insight into the political action and reaction of the bombing with unbelievable documentation and research from the War Department and the White House. For those in America who may wonder about the events surrounding the bomb, HIROSHIMA IN AMERICA offers one of the best sources of information by far!

An update and extension of the 1884 edition. Contains many individual family writeups plus historical sketches of townships and towns, all enriched with photographs of individuals, family groups, towns, churches and schools. Obviously cannot cover every family in Mitchell County, but does a reasonable job of covering quite a few, since it relies on personal writeups from family members and not all families may have responded to the invitation to submit a sketch. Lots of information of interest to any genealogy researcher.

This book shows the real facts regarding the destructive nature
of Walmart on local economies, and shows how communities actually loose in the long run. A well done book by a competent author.

This is one of few books that taught me to read. I love sportsso I read this book over and over and eventually became a goodreader. Another sports book that taught me to read was Soccer Sam. Iloved reading about Hakeem Olajuwon living in Nigeria, Charles Barkley's rough childhood, Shaq's shatterering the backboard, and about David Robinson going to the Naval Academy for college. I have probably read this book over one hundred times. This is defitinely one of the best books that I have ever read.

A pair of simple and somewhat greedy parents; a young girl who is anything but dainty; a beautiful, well behaved and DULL neighbor; a rich and irrascible aunt - and in 1972! Could Matt G have read Horrible Hepzibah?

A Caldecott Award winner, this book is a delightfully refreshing tale along the lines of Great Expectations, but with a sardonic twist. This is a story children would love - because it speaks to the mischief maker in each of them. Hepzibah is outspoken, intractible, and quite often right on target - and anything but politically correct. Could this be why the book is so hard to find? Written with simple yet compelling prose, accompanied by intricate line drawings by Ray Cruz, "Horrible Hepzibah" is worth a search - for the kid in us all, and our children as well.

Mitchell Hewson's excellent book, Horticulture as Therapy, is one that ought to have broader sales. I recently recieved a copy and have been reading it and am impressed at the huge amount of practical information in it. It is an attractive, large book, well-arranged, and easy to use. A book like this would be especially useful for teachers, staff in hospitals, nursing homes, for all people working with children, for folks working with physically or mentally challenged people, or with the elderly, for staff in prisons, and in many other areas.

The author has a real depth of understanding of how to use horticulture as a therapy and it shows. There are few means as effective as horticulture in relieving stress, in getting difficult students interesting in nature, in putting people back in touch with themselves and the world. There is a very useful section here too on resources. There are also many other good sections of "how to" things and the book would be very handy for anyone starting a horticulture program. There is also a considerable amount of practical cultural garden information here, and actually I think many ordinary gardeners would find the book useful and interesting.

I really can't recommend this book too highly. I am the author of Allergy-Free Gardening and I will certainly be recommending this book to many in the years to come. Thomas Leo Ogren

At 54 Pavillion Road, home of the Dixon family, great adventurers lie underfoot and hidden in the walls. The deftly-drawn characters of Willy the earnest but short-sighted terrier, Nat the intrepid Pill Bug, his friend the spider, and Sam the show-off mouse and his long-suffering wife, Doris, their all-too human foibles and mishaps made me and my ten year old laugh out loud. Each chapter tells a different, but beguiling tale about one of the inhabitants of the inside-out house; major dramas of which the Dixons remain blithely unaware. Ostensibly a child's book, but one which relies refreshingly on everyday life for its subject and teaches no greater moral than, aren't we all silly, it makes for delightful inter-generational reading.
