The Worrywarts
Published in Paperback by HarperTrophy (04 March, 2003)
Authors: Pamela Duncan Edwards and Henry Cole
Average review score:

Great play on Words!
My family loves this funny book! The author is quite creative with the choice of "w" words throughout the story. The more we read it aloud, the more it grew on us. We find ourselves quoting lines from it!

The Worrywarts
We love The Worrywarts! This book immediately became my four-year-old's favorite storybook. We never get tired of reading about the adventures of Wombat, Woodchuck, and Weasel.

Caution and worry seem to be a big part of parenting a young child, but the three characters in Pamela Duncan Edwards' story remind us to keep our worries in perspective.

Wombat, Weasel, and Woodchuck venture out to explore the world. Each time fear starts to overcome one, the others use humor and practicality to meet any challenges they encounter.

The illustrations are bright and fun. Edwards' use of alliteration makes the book so entertaining to read aloud. (Not to mention a great book to share when studying the letter "W.")


Wraith Players Guide (Wraith: The Oblivion)
Published in Paperback by White Wolf Publishing Inc. (September, 1995)
Authors: Henry Higgenbotham and Tim Akres
Average review score:

A Great Expansion for Wraith: The Oblivion
This book helps explain the inner workings of the underworld, as well as give new Aracnos and explinations for lands beyond the Stygian Underworld.

An absolute must-have
This book is second in importance only to the Wraith: The Oblivion core rules. Containing tons of background information, new uses for Arcanoi (and three entirely new "lost" Arcanoi), new character and Shadow archetypes, and even a guide to playing Wraith in other cultures' lands of the dead, there is something in here for everybody.

This book is an absolute must-have for any serious Wraith player.


Wrathworld: A Science Fiction Novel
Published in Paperback by Writers Club Press (December, 2002)
Author: Thomas Henry Quell
Average review score:

Wrathworld is the next big Science Fiction Book of 2003
Wrathworld blew me away. I will never read a Science Fiction book as good as Wrathworld unless Wrathworld 2 comes out. I suggest the book for anyone interesed in Sci Fi.
You'll Love it.

Smart, Sexy, Fast-Paced: The Matrix Meets Beh Hur
One of the best Sci-Fi books I've ever read. Wrathworld is a story about a middle-aged guy named Foster Grey who lives under a domed city on Mars in the future. The citizens have a Taliban kind of government, but they get to escape into virtual realities worlds after work every day. Foster has designed himself this hot young "Virt" wife and programmed them with two kids, but when he gets fired from his job his Virt family is confiscated and sent to Wrathworld. This is the virtual reality world where you can go in and raise hell...kill the virtual humans, burn down buildings, generally run wild. The super-moralistic government says it reduces tensions to let your wild side out in Warthworld. Foster has to go into Wrathworld to rescue his wife and kids, and he has to get there by going through side doors in adjacent realities. So, he walks on the sea with Jesus in one reality; he has an orgy in a "paradise" world. He fights his way to Wrathworld...and then it really gets wild! The ending is breath-taking...it sent chills down my neck. Highly recommend, but not for kids. The book contains a few scenes of high violent content and several explicit sexual encounters...naughty but nice. Well-written, fast-paced. It was like the Matrix meets Ben Hur.


A Year in Thoreau's Journal: 1851 (Penguin Classics)
Published in Paperback by Penguin USA (Paper) (December, 1993)
Authors: Henry David Thoreau and H. Daniel Peck
Average review score:

Glorious!
Thoreau's journals are an insight into the man who thrived on simplicity. This book captures the years in which he was making his final revisions on "Waldon." His journal reflects his masterpiece and his book is then reflected back into his journal writings. If you are at all interested in Thoreau's writings, this is a needed companion to understand such a brilliant mind.

The Perfect Introduction to Thoreau's Journals
Many readers exposure to Thoreau's published self-contained books like _Walden_ and _The Maine Woods_ are intrigued enough to look deeper. Inevitably, you end up with the Journals.

The journals are so long and copious, that it can be hard to decide where to start. I don't know off-hand how many pages or words there are, but there are enough of Thoreau's Journals out there to last you 3 to 5 years of reading.

So! You should buy this starter book to introduce you to the flavor of the Journals. If you also read some of the Biographies out there, you learn that Thoreau's life went through some distinct periods, which will be reflected in the different Journals. Many folks think 1851 was a magic and expanding year for him, and that's why this book follows this year alone.

My only complaint about the book using this time frame is that it sort of Pornographically selects from all the years of the Journals--and pornographically selects from 1851. As if all T's days were charmed, all rich with experience.

But the Journal selections excerpted here and this book as a whole have many good qualities that outway my only complaint. They are:

1.--This book follows a year, and T was very much influenced by the seasons. Coming full circle in a year with T is good reading.

2.--The book doesn't try to do too much. If an Introduction book does its job, it should leave you wanting more deep info on the subject. This book did that for me.

3.--There are a couple-few cool replications of drawings T did in his journal. Bonus points for these.

Overall, the subject material here is awesome. If you only know Thoreau through his published "books" and if you like them (especially the naturalist part of them), the Journals will change your world. This book does a solid good job of introducing you to the Journals.

You Owe Me
This book is fantastic reading. I was a little annoyed at the beginning with one of the main character but slowing I came to love that character. Of course every book needs at least a villain but the villain in this book is not your everyday 2-dimensional character. I would recommend everyone to read this book.

i really owe the book something.
it is one of penny jordan's best works.the characters are potrayed very well.it is worth reading.i have recommended my friends to read this book.

Great Read-Aloud!
This book is so fun to read. The zum-zum, zzzng-zxzng is contagious, the illustrations are great, and the whole idea of the book is wonderfully goofy.

A lively retelling of why mosquitoes bite
Mosquitoes have never looked so good and sympathetic. Do you have kids who hate mosquitoe bites? Then this is the book for you. The art is lovely and playful; the text is simple and rhythmic. 5 Stars for this nice visual combination.


35mm. photo technique
Published in Unknown Binding by Focal Press ()
Author: Henry Sainsbury Newcombe
Average review score:

An excellent study of eary 35mm photography.
This book was written when 35mm was still miniature and most people used roll film cameras. Professions still used quarter plates and the Speed Graphic was the press camera of choice, this is an excellent discussion of the capabilities of 35mm in competition with all the rest. Leica, Zorki, Kiev, Contax and Exakta fans will find this text very informative. Even for the modern user, with auto-focus and many other wonderful computerized gadgets inside their camera this book is useful. The approach is basic and at the same time precise.

The book begins with the uses limits, advantages and how to make the most of the camera. A very well designed section on developing and printing is included. Additionally, for the black and white practitioner, there are tips on how to use films. This is especially good for people that use older style films, such as Pan F.

By the end of Newcomb's book you realize that 35mm is still here and why, despite advantages, 120 is only in professional use and why glass plates are in museums. 35mm is a snap shot in the history of picture taking and still useful. This book will be interesting to all those interested in photography.


40 Days With the Savior: Preparing Your Heart for Easter
Published in Paperback by Thomas Nelson (February, 1995)
Author: Henry Gariepy
Average review score:

An inspirational walk through the Lenten season.
This short volume is a heart rending, soul opening treasure for the celebration the Lenten season and in preparation for Easter.

It is a sort of Stations of the Cross, using the words of the Gospels to take your heart and mind into worship and prayer particularly relevant to the season.

It should be in print. It is priceless.

I would recommend it to believers, new and old.
