A delightful romance carried out over the breakfast table. A trip down memory lane, a look to the future (by two people in their eighties!), humorous and inspirational messages left with breakfast for the one who wasn't up yet. It's a keeper.

I love the stories, which I found very important in praticing the Martial Arts. Young Martial Artists should learn mental self defense as a highest priority.

This is story could have been better if it had been longer. Jolee is a romance cover model who comes home one day and finds her boy friend/agent in bed with another women. Fed up with men in general she takes a job as a housekeeper. She dresses as an older woman hoping to be unattractive to men. Daniel senses that there is more to his housekeeper than the dreadful dress and wig. He is attracted to her and will do almost anything to win her. Jolee resists Daniel until she sees he is a compassionate and caring individual. When she finally does sleep with him it is the most wonderful thing she has experienced, but it takes some time for her to trust again. When she does she almost loss Daniel because of her lies.

The author has the talent to converse to the young reader and hold them captive in her exploration of bridges. She uses simple language so as not to overpower the pictures themselves. Adults will enjoy this as a read aloud book to share as it invites a relook at bridges we 'thought we had looked at' in our passings. I'm sure this will book will create future Architects, Engineers and Builders. Enjoy it and I look forward to many more in her series.

For a good, cost-effective reference source, Stratton cannot be beat! Lots of details for the collector, and as we all know, Enfield addicts are helpless when it comes to details!

The Broken Sword is wonderfully written prose about a warrior, the horrors of his war, and the scars it leaves, both on the veteran and his family. And, most importantly, it is about the victory over those scars that is possible if one's heart is open and in the right place.

CWO Westbrook's wordsmithing is masterful. Direct, with embleshment only where appropriate, and above all, honest. He bears his soul, faults and all, for the reader to take something very special with her or him after finishing the story. I read this book in one sitting, and found myself laughing at times, crying at others, and ultimately, having a better understanding and respect for my own father, who is also a Vietnam Veteran. I insisted that he (my father) read it as well. When he finished, he cried for the first time I can remember. And he finally believed that he was not alone, and that others could understand how he left Vietnam, but never fully came home 30 years ago. This book has brought a closeness like never before between a father and his child,

Being a Veteran myself, though of more receint times, I could relate on a limited level to many of the depictions of life in a combat zone. The descriptions are full of life, and grab you, forcing the reader to live the moments of terror, and joy, and saddness, and anger.

The Broken Sword is a testament for all those who did not die in Vietman, but gave their lives nonetheless. A must read for anyone who wants to understand, and for any Veteran who feel that no one can.

Broken Trust, Broken Land by Dr. Robert G. Lee is essential reading for those who want to understand how to balance environmental protection with human rights. Just as Rachel Carson's Silent Spring was an alert to the excesses of uncheck environmental degradation, Broken Trust, Broken Land is an alert to the excesses of unquestioned control for environmental protection. Dr. Lee shows that democracy, personal freedom, and our institutional system of checks and balances was carefully crafted by America's founders based on a realistic pessimism about human nature. These basic institutional protections are being undermined by a movement that is using moral persuasion to "save the earth". In the process, we have moved closer to a totalitarian society where individual rights and alternative authorities, such as family, community and religion, are subordinated to Mother Earth. Only by maintaining the moral equivalent of a war over the environment has society been willing to voluntarily suspend the protection of our democratic political system. The shocking conclusion is that this voluntary erosion of our democratic institutions will ultimately lead to a lose-lose tradegy where personal freedom and the environment both suffer. To avoid this Dr. Lee argues that we must build on the strengths of our political traditions, our families, our communities, and even religion. This story weaves such diverse topics as disenchantment with Judeo-Christian beliefs, the movement away from land stewardship and toward man's subservance to nature, the paradox that we can not live without taking life, political correctness in science, the President's Forest Plan, and the rise of "philosopher kings" who use their scientific credentials to make moral choices about the environment. This brave and thoughtful book should be read by those who want to recreate the traditional balances of American society which will ultimately result in fairer and better environmental management. An excellent companion book on how science is applied to natural resouce questions is The Great Salmon Hoax: An Eyewitness Account of the Collapse of Science and Law and the Triumph of Politics in Salmon Recovery by James Buchal.

Focuses on the Shubert brothers, each brilliant, funny and bizarre, who fled the pogroms in Russia, and rose from impoverished immigrant roots on the Lower East Side to hold a virtual monopoly over Broadway and American theater in the 1920s-30s. Filled with colorful anecdotes and vignettes of famous players, this book is warm, witty, thoroughly researched, and a "good read" from cover to cover. Essential for Theater buffs.

it's a very good book that tells everything about bruce lee.

This book is propably the easiest book to learn the techniques of the master and maker of jeet kune do. This is a rarity for a book of this caliber as it shows the easy step by step of the hardest techniques he knew. It also shows how to do the aspiring side-kick!! To master such techniques would take years but for people who keep trying would take months! The book shows full contact so people can also learn from it easier. Overall an excellant book
