If you would like to read a true story of amazing fortitude and courage, this is the book for you. A real tribute to the human spirit. This book will make you laugh, cry, and mostly, stand up and cheer.

Great book. Sure! Highly reccommend it. Ok! Perfect for children interested in baseball. Right! Order it from Amazon today. I'm Sorry! Terriffic read cover to cover. Read it at 35 78th Street. Fantastic then!

I tried to refrain from the star category but it is a required field, so of course I gave it five!
Although I am the author, I am compelled to write a review for The Map of Your Future because so many young student-athletes who have used it have been helped by it and you don't get the whole scoop when it comes up on the web.
I am the Women's Head Basketball Coach at the University of California Santa Cruz and have been a college outreach counselor and high school coah so I know what I'm talking about.

A couple of highlights you'll find inside the Map of Your Future:

*year by year checklist for athletics AND academics for 8th through 12th grade

*10 tips to get noticed by college coaches

*keys to marketing yourself to prospective college coaches

*it will be worth every penny if you really want the inside scoop on playing college sports

In short any student-athlete no matter how young or what skill level they possess will benefit from reading the Map of Your Future.

Sincerely,

Coach Mitchell

This is the best of information . all under one cover...supplier list extremely helpful.Reproductions and clear instructions were all I needed to encourage my interest in this ancient art. It's like receiving an apprenticeship to a well kept secret craft!

This is a fascinating depiction of the life of Margaret Mitchell within the context of an Atlanta that is far more sophisticated and complicated than when she lived there. As you begin your drive you go from the newly renovated Margaret Mitchell house (which is also fun for a tour) down Peachtree Street, past the Georgian Terrace and into less modern areas of the city until you end at her grave at the Oakland Cemetary. It is really moving when you finally drive up and park and listen to the final words of the tape. I loved the tape of the Battle of Peachtree Creek and I love this one--both because you really see the city in a multi-faceted way; both from a historical and a contemporary perspective. This is particularly effective with Margaret Mitchell who loved Atlanta and lived and died here. The stories and quotes which you listen to on the tape bring you close to a real Margaret Mitchell not just the legendary figure who wrote Gone With The Wind. This is just a great way to follow her personal history and see the places where she lived and died. Definitely a must do for fans of Margaret Mitchell as well as those who are curious to see Atlanta within a broad spectrum of its architecture and its history.

When the 50th anniversary of the publication of GONE WITH THE WIND (henceforth referenced as GWTW) occurred in 1986, Harwell published this volume of letters from Margaret Mitchell Marsh. Gleaned from a collection of over 50,000 letters, clippings and notes covering a variety of subjects, these letters give us insight into the author of GWTW and her world.

Marsh argues with her publisher about issues like the name of the heroine and the title of the book, which she had originally titled TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY. She had named Scarlett "Pansy" in her original manuscript. When controversy arises over her description of the desecration of Confederate cemetaries by Federal troops, she reveals her sources of information as well as her surprise that the question should come up at all!

Adventures and misadventures with the filming of the book (rumors that she would cast the film caused wild complications in her life), the fame that makes her so uncomfortable, problems concerning the writing, publication and success of GWTW -- all combine to make this an unusual and utterly fascinating picture of one of America's foremost writers.

Mitchell had what she called "a passionate desire for personal privacy." That passion shows in these letters, along with a touch of Scarlett O'Hara and a smidgen of Melanie Wilkes. GWTW devotees (and possibly those who aren't fans, too) will enjoy this glimpse of the double-edged sword of success and its effect on Margaret Mitchell Marsh.

When my daughter, age 6 (-a good reader), started studying the constellations in school, we looked for books on the subject, and came upon this one in the library. It made a great book report story on the subject. For readers 9-12. Another inspiring book for girls is "Girls Who Rocked the World"

Martin Luther King Day provides children with a wonderful introduction to the life and times of Martin Luther King. This small book covers a lot of ground, by providing an overview of the history of how the holiday came to be and suggestions on how to celebrate it. More importantly, it sheds life on the man behind the holiday; a brief overview of King's life. Children will read about King's childhood, education, his exposure to Ghandi, his participation in the Civil Rights Movement, his assassination and much more. While the illustrations are not particularly elaborate, they mesh well with the story and add to the overall experience of the book. Reading this book as a family on Martin Luther King Day could be a fantastic new tradition and will help children learn that the holiday is more than a day off from school.

This is a very moving story and a beautifully written piece of literature!

Wow.. what a wonderful find! Even though the book focuses on Jewish cooking, anyone can enjoy the book ... it has many delicious comfort-food recipes, such as meatloaf, roast chicken, pierogis, blintzes, cabbage rolls, cheesecake, and my favorite cookies in the world - rugelach. I have tried the dishes (listed above) and they all came out absolutely perfect. My roommate even asked me how I turned into a fantastic chef overnight! The recipes are well-tested and you don't need to be Jewish to enjoy the book. Many thanks to the author for bringing comfort and warmth back into my kitchen.
