When Miss Perkins finds Fitz outside on a cold winter day, she takes him home. But, she tells him he can not stay because she likes a very tidy house. She places an ad in the paper and each time someone comes to see Fitz, he disappears. My daughter enjoys finding Fitz in each of his hiding places and it is so sweet that Miss Perkins ends up liking Fitz and keeps him. Excellent illustrations and simple text make this fun to read for even young toddlers. We have given several copies of this book as a gift and it is always well received!

I use this book constantly. The pancakes, garanola bars, muffins, crackers etc. are all delicious. The author understands about the different kinds of wheat and uses them appropriately. I hope I can find another copy.

As a mother just begining to teach the "birds and the bees" this is a terrific help. The material is age appropriate and interesting to read. The best part, however, is the Christian aspect. I know that our children will understand and respect their sexuality more because they will know why God gave them this gift and the value of protecting that gift. Thank you Carol Greene for the books!

Alexis Greene's Women Who Write Plays interviews 23 women who write plays for the American stage, covering a range of topics from play styles and special challenges to relationships between life, art and culture. Provides many insights into the acting process.

I really enjoyed this book. This author is simply brilliant and very intelligent.

As a psychologist I constantly recommend this book because of it's practical, user-friendly truths and answers to personal growth challenges. The authors clearly point out how faulty teachings and attitudes acquired when we were young can hinder our quality of life as adults, and they show us how to fix this. A must for parents, educators, lay persons, and anyone wants to maximize their potential. In my opinion, this book should be a textbook in all schools, and on every shelf in every home.

Using Occam's razor Brian builds just the right foundation on which to discuss string theory. He doesn't get lost in digression but uses analogies and illustrations from the stock market or FBI explosive experts to explain and translate the truly weird concepts he is trying to convey.

This book is not an easy read from the point of view of it's content and I will be reading it a second and third time (at least). However, Brian's smooth writing style draws you along and after hammering your brain with impossible concepts, he will offer an analogy, which both clarifies the point and rests you.

A beginner can read this book because of the explanations given for the basic quantum physics and relativity concepts that string theory is based on. However, having a layman's background in these areas is helpful.

Who would thought, after all the theories of Big Bangs and special relativity and quantum mechanics, that it would turn out the whole universe was held together by strings? Of course, it's not the sort of string that you could buy at the hardware store, but it is the basis for a developing theory of "everything."

The Elegant Universe is a great book but not always an easy book to read. This is through no fault of Greene - an adept writer who is also a scientist making contributions to string theory - but the result of the heady material that is being discussed. When dealing with areas of science where the "normal" rules don't apply (such as black holes or the Big Bang) or discussing eleven dimensional space, we are dealing with concepts beyond what we see in our everyday lives and are often hard to picture.

Even after two readings of this book, there is still a lot that I don't fully grasp and know there is another reading of this book sometime in my future. Although Greene is writing for the layperson, he is writing for an educated one; this is not the book to start with if you are unfamiliar with science but find the subject intriguing. You're better off with Stephen Hawking's Brief History of Time or Universe in a Nutshell. Timothy Ferris's The Whole Shebang is a bit more detailed, but not quite as complex as Greene's book.

So even if you find this a difficult book, it is nonetheless a great one and worth your time if you are interested in the subject.

Greene has done an unbelieveable job with "The Elegant Universe." Clearly he has a deep understanding of the topic, because the only equation I recall seeing is E=mc**2. Advanced physics topics in English - it's unreal. Granted, readers have to be motivated, but Greene uses analogies that should make sense to anyone with enough gumption to read the book through.

Greene starts with Newtonian mechanics, move through Special and General Relativity, cruises through Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Geometry, and then takes the reader through a simple - work with me some on this - explanation of the 11-dimensional space-time fabric of String Theory.

I can't understand why this book failed to nab the Pulitzer. It's more complicated than, say, a history book like "Lincoln at Gettysburg," but remains really approachable for pretty much anyone.
