Considering I've had the good fortune of sitting in one of Prof. Leonard's classes I'm confidant to say that the details of this text are throughly researched and credible. This man cares mightily for the people of the U.S., Caribbean, Central & South America and understands the social, cultural, religious and revolutionary political influences that continue to transform the region. This book is a good investment in ones education about the Castro Revolution.

A fine collection of horror stories. The Juggler is the best of the lot, a wild story!

This book is very interesting! It shows how the Americans supported Flugencio Batista and his government! It also shows how Castro was not trusted by the American Businesses because they didn't feel he wouldn't be good to their profit scheming ways! This is a good book for anyone who is wanting to learn more about Fidel Castro and learn the truth about Flugencio Batista

Julie Marie Bunck has done a splendid job in revealing to the reader the sometimes harsh policies that Fidel Castro has taken to enhance the development of a socialist/communist conscience in revolutionary Cuba. With meticulous research, she reveals the failures and successors of the Maximum Leader in attempting to construct socialism in all human forms.

This is one of the best books i have read, and re-read. It provides the reader with an insight to the political and social thought of Fidel Castro as the title suggests as well as his role in modern world politics. This intriguing book is a most for all pro Castro supporters, anti-Castro critics and anybody interested in Fidel, the Cuban Revolution and political science

This juvenile biography of "George Washington Carver: Nature's Trailblazer" presents its subject as a true pioneer in ecology. Part of the "earth Keepers" series, this book by Teresa Rogers tells how Carver was a young boy who wanted to know about "every strange stone, flower, insect, bird, or beast." Rogers traces Carver's career from his birth as the son of a slave, his training as an agricultural student, and his famous work as a professor at the Tuskegee Institute. Those who have heard of how Carver invented all sorts of uses for the peanut will learn what the scientist came up with in terms of scientific agriculture and creative chemistry, not to mention products created from sweet potatoes. Rogers does a nice job of not just providing biographical information, but of also providing the context of the changing times for young readers and including quotations from Carver himself about everything from nature to education to race relations. Students will be impressed by everything accomplished over the long and distinguished career of the man who called himself "Nature's Trailblazer."

The back of this book contains a list of all the products created by Carver from peanuts (beverages, cosmetics, dyes and paints, foods, foods for farm animals, medicines and many others) as well as one detailing some of the key bulletins he produced over forty years from "Feeding Acorns" to "Nature's Garden for Victory and Peace." Other books in the "Earth Keepers" series look at Henry David Thoreau, Rachel Carlson, John Muir, Jacques Cousteau, and Jane Goodall.

This book is an essential reference tool for mental health professionals who run therapy groups for a variety of clinical and problem focused populations.

Important not only as a historical document to be studiously anylized but absolutely nessasery reading for any reveloutionary. This is the speach Castro gave , representing himself since he was a lawyer , after trying to overthrow the oppressive Batista regime in Cuba. Regardless of your politics its importantance shows the nessessity of Ligitimizeing any revolt through clear , legal justifications. Fidel was only 25 telling Batista off , saying do what you will to me , "History will absolve me." Useful blurprint on how to effectively denounce any oppresion.

Excellent translation. Catches the feel of Hopi storytelling. One interesting story is a modern Coyote story- Coyote and the Black Snake. It has a pun with mild sexual innuendo- a common Hopi pattern- yet the pun only works in English!

This book was very interesting, especially as you get further into the book I am 10 yrs old and it is a good book for ages 7 and up .. at the end it said it was to be continued and I just can't wait..
