As a media specialist, I have thoroughly enjoyed using SHOES with my first graders and kindergarteners. The children love to take off their shoes and wiggle those toes. They also enjoy anticipating the next page. This book is a must for any elementary library and for the home.

Dear Five Star:

I was a frustrated director until I met "The Sixty-Minute Shakespeare." Here was everything I needed: the plot of Romeo and Juliet cut down to a manageable size, production suggestions, blocking notes, set of sound requirements, property lists, detailed stage directions and even the definitions of some of Shakespeare's more obscure words and phrases. I never would have attempted directing a group of homeschoolers, ages 7-14, a Shakespearean production without this marvelous book. And I would have deprived them of an extremely rewarding experience: they worked very hard and the production was highly praised by the community. Not only that, but I am certain that most harbor a distinct affection for the works of Mr. Shakespeare. What more could a homeschool mother and Shakespearian enthusiast desire? Thank you Five Star Publications for providing my children with a never-to-be-forgotten educational memory that was a whole lot of fun!

Sincerely, Susan Zelie Homeschool Educator

The Sixty-Minute Shakespeare series is an ideal alternative for those who lack the time or resources to tackle the unabridged versions of the world's most widely read playwright. This smooth-flowing and carefully edited series works well for fully mounted productions, scene work in the classroom, and the study of Shakespeare's plays in general. While the language is condensed, the integrity of Shakespeare's writing is kept intact so students of the Bard can experience the thrill of the story as well as the beauty of the verse and prose.

This book will make you want to get out into the places beyond the artifacts of civilization and spend some time in the beauty and quiet. Some of our best poets (Wendell Berry, Gary Snyder) and writers (Robert Bly, Matthew Fox, Terry Tempest Williams) tell us eloquently why they go to the wilderness to be closer to themselves and their God. Inspiring!

The book describes Soviet deception methods and results for every major battle 41-45. In every case,detailed (down to division) maps showing reality and german assessments are provided. It is invaluable for reference and it gives very interesting insights on German defeats.

Soviet Military Intelligence at examines the development of the Role of Military Intelligence during World War II. It looks at the theory that the Red Army started with as the war began and moved on to its slow improvemnt as the war progressed. By mid 1944 the Red Army Intelligence Organs are at thier wartime best and this foundation could be seen for the remainder of the war and on into the Soviet/Russian Army of Tosay.

Must read for Intelligence Proffessionals and those interesed in the German-Soviet battles of WW2.

This is a very good book. In his book Cass Ingram lists the most available foods (incl. herbs & spices etc...) with their cures. In a first part of the book he sums up the 12 most common diseases (heart disease, cancer, arthritis, ADD, etc...) linked with the 12 most important (supermarket) remedies to cure the illness. In another chapter he reviews all possible supermarket remedies (foods), gives some tips on storing and using the foods and explains why the food can cure certain ailments. I do like this book because with some inexpensive remedies (foods) one can do wonders. No more searching for hard to find and costly remedies, but just simple remedies that can soften or cure ailments. A must have.

At the Appellate level, Brooklyn attorney Cass Jamison proves that her client Keith Jernigan could not have committed the robbery that he was previously convicted of, thus obtaining freedom for the innocent man. Subsequently, Cass gets embroiled in a divorce case when her tenant Nellis Cartwright wants her previous settlement with her former spouse, Grant Eddongton, re-negotiated because she insists her attorney, a friend of Cass, botched up the case.

Keith reappears in Cass' life when the son of her secretary is arrested after forming a friendship with the man. Cass suspects that Keith had something to do with the arrest and begins to investigate the man. She learns that though he was framed for the robbery count that she got him acquitted on, he threw acid into the face of a former girlfriend. When Nellis is shot in her office, Cass thinks that she might have been the intended target and wonders if she is again going to on guard until she gets some answers.

SWORN TO DEFEND is a great 250 page mystery novel that fans will swear is one of the best fictions pieces of the year due to an intriguing twist on the story line in which the client is innocent of the charges, but culpable for a more devastating crime. However, the final few pages seem as if Carolyn Wheat needed an upbeat-like ending for a climax, which thankfully fails to take away from a greatand fast-paced tour of Brooklyn that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. Fans of urban legal procedurals need to read this novel and Cass' previous two stories (DEAD MAN'S THOUGHTS and MEAN STREAK) for some of the best the crime genre has to offer.

My job frequently involves troubleshooting modem communications problems, and I've found that the information in Mr. Lewart's book valuble again and again. Not only is the book packed with valuble information, the author's writing style makes it easy to read too.

If you're expected to help people with their modems, The Ultimate Modem Handbook will answer all those questions that you've wondered about modems, but couldn't find the answers to by either reading modem manuals, surfing the Internet, or talking with other techie-people.

Thank You for writing this book Mr. Lewart! I wish that I had discovered your book six months ago.

I read the first edition twice and still decided to buy the second edition . Case study approach is the best way to learn .
You will never get tired of exploring the cases. You will have gross view of the vertiginous patients and learn differential diagnosis. Must read for beginners.
