I first read this book as a 17 year old....that was a long time ago and it is still one of the books that has most affected my life (I am now 50 years old). It is in some ways a very simple book to read, but the totality of it's information in terms of its' effect on the thinking process is quite profound. If everyone read this book, our society would be markedly different, and much less superficial. Unfortunately most humans are not critical thinkers. It is not one of those mystical 'new wave' - "how to improve yourself" texts. It is information that can be applied to your everyday life from the trivial to the vastly important. It is a very basic building block on how to really understand what is going on and if what is being said has validity. I firmly believe it is a book that should be required reading of every educated freshman in college. It has given me the ability to continue to think "out of the box" and not become stagnant. I recommend it for anyone who values thinking.

Crop Circles Revealed, by Judith Moore and Barbara Lamb, is the one of the most comprehensive and complete books published on the phenomenon. The authors go to great lengths to cover just about every aspect of the subject matter. Beautifully illustrated with color photos and original line art, the book is an outstanding blend of research, creative interpretation, and energetic divination. The reader is certain to go away with a new appreciation for crop circles and the forces that create them.

Every time you reach for Marijo Moore's Crow Quotes or Tree Quotes, smiles will ensue followed by incessant nodding of the head. Logic prevails in such a beautifully inspiring way and that's why you'll keep returning to these marvelous little books...you simply can't read them just once! They offer unique and ongoing insights that I find to be the perfect substitute for Tylenol. In my darkest hours, they make me think about how wonderful everything around us can be if we simply let it. Try both books and be prepared for addiction. This remarkably talented lady was thinking of you when she wrote them.

I have taught 3rd, 5th and 6th grades and will never teach without a DLR book again. They are simple and easy to use in the classroom, but also provide wonderful skills for students. They go beyond the traditional DOL skills and teach more skills that students need to know. These books are set up so that they can be completed in just a small amount of time but you will see a huge improvement in your students.

Excellent 36-week progrssive program. Presented in standardized testing formats. Great daily practice for kids incorporating computation, word problems, graphing, and numbers. Good workbook.

This work is a complete collection of chronicles for the De Soto expedition into La Florida (which is most of the south-east USA). Due to the fact that this work comprises two volumes of almost 600 pages each, I have so far only read volume II which is the complete account "La Florida" by Garcilaso de la Vega. Following others (including the Narvaez expedition that de Vaca relates) De Soto went into Florida to find gold and eventually settle the new land. Garcilaso used one captain from the expedition as his source and is a great storyteller, claiming his abhorrence of exaggerating the contents, much of it is told with the heroic chivalry and noble virtue of the times, whether speaking of Spaniards or Indians, and always some purposeful enthusiasm. If all you know of De Soto is that he was the first to see the Mississippi, that doesn't begin to say anything about what happens during the expedition, and even to the way those who were on it considered it afterwards. It shows also the real nature of the natives, showing great differences in their treatment of the Spanish, their use of slavery, and the brutatilty they showed towards other tribes. (Not as placid as Las Casas would have you believe). Also describing the native cultures and life-styles to some degree. All wonderful and interesting stories. The volumes contain some maps and black and white illustrations. Volume I contains all the other existant accounts including the more historical one by the Gentleman of Elvas. Well worth the price.

Robert Drury was a 15 year old English sailor when his ship The "Degrave" ran aground on Madagascar in the early 1700's. All the crew were either killed or enslaved by the natives. After 15 years, Drury escaped and returned to England. He left this account of his adventure when he died. Some say his journal is fiction and is the work of Daniel Defoe. But "Sources for Robert Drury" tells how church records of the time list a person who's name was Robert Drury or Robert Jury, and who was not only born at the time of the protagonist, but entered the navy at the same time. A recent expedition to Madagascar found that all locations and historical references in the book are accurate. If Defoe realy did write the book, then he first heard the story from the real Robert Drury.

I have used this dictionary for over 25 years and have worn out my copy. It is well organized, easy to research, and has the answers.
