The images in this book (created via automatic drawing) are some of the best examples of occult artwork. Just staring into the images is awakening some of the Zos Kia Cultus. Buy this book, the longer you wait the more it will cost. And unlike most aged [things], this book will always be valuable for what it is.

This book tells everything you want to know about singing.My voice sounded very insecure until I used these techniques and now it is full and confident.I would recommend it to anyone who has dreams of singing or just for your own personal enjoyment.

The husband and wife team give an excellent view of he treatments and follow up of what to do after treatment. He is the doctor who does the research. She is the person with breast cancer and her choices, and why she chose as she did. And what she is doing now to try and prevent a reoccurence.

There always seems a new way of looking at the Farm Security Administration photos of the Depression. I've already got 'Plain Pictures of Plain Doctoring: Vernacular Expression in New Deal Medicine and Photography' (MIT 1985) and 'An American Journey: Images of Railroading During the Depression' (Hot Box Press 2000) and this excellent book is the first to show dozens of great photos of children (and teenagers).

The author's explain in the intro that at the nadir of the Depression about a quarter of the workforce were unemployed and because no child labor laws had been passed this huge number included some children, especially in agriculture. Most of the photos in this book show children in a rural setting, where it was expected that they would help their parents increase the family income.

Sixteen of the FSA photographers work is included and the author's have searched for photos that are seldom or have never been published before and this is one reason I liked the book, another is the large format landscape size. All the images have a short caption, date, photographer's name and Library of Congress negative file number. There are a couple of slightly annoying production points: the lack of page numbers, even though there is a contents page with a page number for each of the seven chapters and the ten pages of introduction are numbered but with roman numerals.

Fortunately not all the photos show hard times and despair, one chapter, called Playing, shows kids having fun, another, Living, has a 1940 Marion Post Wolcott shot of five laughing teenagers folding newspapers on a front lawn in Natchitoches, Louisiana. As you would expect though most of the rest of these sensitively taken photos do show children just having to make do in those extraordinary years.

If you collect books of FSA output or just want to see some great descriptive photos of the past 'Children of the Depression' is well worth getting.

China Diary: The Life Of Mary Austin Endicott is the remarkable account of a missionary wife whose husband felt the call to service mainland China. In 1947, Jim Endicott was accused of treason and thus began the greatest test of her marriage, her faith, and her children, both born and adopted. This impressively presented biography, written by Shirley Jane Endicott (Mary Austin Endicott's daughter), offers an informed and informative look into a turbulent China, as well as insights into the soul of a most resourceful and fascinating Canadian woman.

Well researched and written. I came across this gem of a book in India and I have read it couple times. I found to my surprise that not even the locals of Hyderabad know as much as what this book tells. This book tells history behind the popular commercial spots in Hyderabad like 'King Koti', 'Abids' which none of the locals are aware of. Unfortunately many of the historical tombs and buildings of immense architectural beauty mentioned in this book are in ruin and some lost. If you are from Hyderabad (which I am not) and feel passionate about your city (which I do) this is your book. The most interesting part of the book is at the end when the police action was in progress. The chief of the much hated Razakars was running after his get-away plane in which he has stashed his fortunes with the Indian police hot in pursuit (sounds like Hollywood movie ending). Read the book to know what happens to him.

My media class always does a section on law and Wilker's book on Cons and Swindles was very useful as it gave an alternative view of cops and robbers that is seldom seen in elementary reference books.

I came to Wheelwright, as I suppose many do, after coming across John Ashbery's various references to him. One can only say that he should be read, while understanding that he won't be. A weird, risk-taking poet, whose best lyrics achieve a kind of negative comprehension.

A great cookbook that has many recipes that are simple, with few ingredients. All that I have tried have been delicious. The Rodeo Cake is one of the big favorites from this one. A must for every kitchen!

A fabulous book! Reading it is like taking a short course in the study of color. Sandra Austin explains the various ways color has been "harnessed" historically through the use of color systems, and then she proceeds to free your mind to intelligently explore color combinations on your own. I felt enlightened and liberated after reading this book; no longer plagued with insecurity, I proceeded to compose a perenial garden on my one acre with delightful results. Despite a few "typo's", the book is written with painstaking clarity. An intense subject,I found reading a few pages every night was all I could absorb. And that kept me craving more. I look forward to another book from Ms. Austin on the subject of color! How about COLOR IN GARDEN DESIGN BOOK 2?
