The whole work of the book is very inspirational, historically it is educational and legendary. The new generations of Ethiopian or the Eritrean will learn from it what they have not been told correctly. History never chnages. The book has it all. It is compiled very well, charismatic and the writer is to be admired for his great work. Everyone must read this book for self uplifting or for your edification.

This book is money well spent, especially if you are a fan of BB King or the blues. Not only is it well-written, but the selective editing of Anson Pope keeps the focus concise and delightful. One of the best music books I've read in a long time.

I had this book as I was growing up only 14 short years ago and still remember it as a wonderful book and an enjoyable companion to all of the other Babar books. An excellent addition to any child's collection and one they will be sure to treasure and remember for years to come.

My kids adore Babe. This time Babe is at the circus and he is up to his usual silly antics which will make the most sourpus child giggle with delight! Thank you Shana Corey for this happy book!

This book is definately not designed for the novice, rather a professional of Babylonian studies. The book covers Babylonian and Assyrian incantations, ceremomies, and prayers from the 76 cuneiform tablets in the excavation of Nineavah. They were found in the site of Kuyunjuik. The prayers of "lifting the hand" are presented in full with as much technical and related material as possible. The book presents each ritual with details on how to preform the rituals, libations to deities, and what is needed to complete the rituals. The book does contain details to help the novice such as the tablets themselves, an extensive vocabulary, notes, and explainations. There is a good forward from R.A. Gilbert and preface from King himself explaining his expectations of the material. All in all the book does stand up to those expectations and some. One of the most complete Babylonian books that i've ever read. a great compliment and companion to Semetic Magic by Cambell Thompson (1908).

This book really paints a great picture of where the Babylonians came from. To purely appriciate it, you must open your imagination and be prepaired to embark on a fantastic voyage.

Pressured to produce an heir to the throne, King Morgan de Souverain refused to marry a princess he didn't love to beget a royal baby. No wife would ever rule his heart. But after a night of passion with independent American Suzanna Bentley, the bachelor monarch was about to share his castle with a beautiful new queen-and the pitter-patter of princely little feet.

Suzanna loved Morgan with all her heart, but she knew the honorable man had married her only because she carried his child. And then she made a shocking discovery: she'd never been pregnant at all. Would her new husband feel he'd been tricked into the marriage? Or dare she dream of a happily-ever-after?

This book is what I consider a typical Stephen King book. He provides just enough detail to allow your imagination to fill in the rest, allowing the reader to feel like you are part of the story.

Now in a significantly revised and expanded new edition which features forty pages of black-and-white photographs, William F. Nolan's Barney Oldfield: The Life And Times Of America's Legendary Speed King is an exciting and ambitious biography of the nigh-legendary pioneer race car driver. It was Barney Oldfield who was the first man in history to travel 131 miles per hour! Written with enthusiasm, vigor, and respect for this great and daunting figure in American race care history, Barney Oldfield is enthusiastically recommended reading for automotive history enthusiasts and race car history buffs.

There are only four volumes dealing with battles in the Civil War Series (to date) and they are the pivotal battles of Bull Run, Antietam, Gettysburg, and Vicksburg. Actually, that last one, and the subject of this juvenile history by David C. King, was a long drawn on campaign (March 31-July 4, 1863) that was ultimately more of a siege than a battle. The book begins by establishing the importance of Vicksburg as "The Gibraltar of the West" and the key to the Mississippi River (although Winfield Scott's Anaconda plan is not specifically mentioned). The campaign is broken down into discrete units, such as the Battle of Champion Hill and the actual 47 day siege.

The result is a concise and informative history of the Vicksburg campaign and its significance. This was a fairly complex campaign and King gives young readers a clear sense of what happened. A final section explains how the fate of the Confederacy was sealed by the fall of Vicksburg. The book is illustrated with historic photographs and etchings, along with a map showing how Grant moved on the Confederate stronghold. Sidebars go into details on the commanders of both armies, the attempt by the Federals to blow up a hole in the Rebel lines, and a look at the artillery used in the battle.

"The Battle of Vicksburg" is part of the Triangle Histories of the Civil War, where the idea is that the subject is covered from various angles, in this case a battle like Vicksburg, a leader like Ulysses S. Grant, and a President, in this case Abraham Lincoln. However, there is no explicit attempt to link up the books and the overlap is essentially the same as what you would have with any juvenile series of histories and/or biographies dealing with the Civil War. This does not detract form tese being an informative series of little books.
