Julie Roy Jeffrey's achievement is a must for anyone interested in the history of the American frontier. It tells the tragic tale of a clash between two incompatible cultures and consequently highlights the complexity of the frontier experience. Here all notions of European conquest or Native American savagery are replaced by a reality of failed coexistence.

This is a very well writen book that both informs and entertains. I am a Walt Whitman fan so it was naturaly intersting to me, but even a non-fan would love this insitful work. I say it is a must have for all serious Whitman fans.

Good for a beginner but there are better books to get the history of US coinage from. Also for higher grade & more expensive coins no one uses the Redbook for pricing any more. Sorry! Still it'll give you an orderly catalog of the US coin types with a brief sketch of them & will list all the dates, & mintmarks. Perhaps unless you wish to consult a weekly newspaper on coins this is the best pricing guide you can find in a book. Old redbooks (1950's & before)are actually quite collectable themselves & may be worth over $100

This book offers housing for all half dollars from the year 1964 - 1985. Overall, a good holder for the average collector, but does not offer protection from dust and elements in the air.

Leomon's Challenge is where they meet up with Devimon, and they also battle more black gears. The first story is where the kids debate wether to go up to the top of Infinity Mountain or not. But when they're sleeping, Joe goes to the top of the mountain, only to meet a Unimon with a black gear. Read the rest yourself.

The next story is where the kids are on the top of the mountain, and then they decide to walk to nowhere. But then a Digimon named Leomon finds the kids, and he's infected by Devimon's touch of evil. And then Ogremon attacks, only he's just plain bad, so he doesn't need a touch of evil. There's too mouch to say, so read this exciting book.

This is a good folder to house your Liberty Head, or "V" nickel collection. I would avoid putting higher-grade coins in this folder, but for an average (good to fine) collection, this is an excellent home.

this book is extraordinary in its vivid imagery without falling into a lot of the traps that story based poetry seems to have. the stories are in the poems without dominating them. the stories are merely the jumping off point for pools of description that make ruth whitman's poetry timeless. i just discovered ruth whitman through this book and i'm very glad that i have. i have a feeling any poetry lover would feel the same about this book.

If you are tired of having obscurely ragged text posing as poetry, you'll like Jack Whitman's book, POETIC INJUSTICE. He hasn't forgotten that articles (a, an, the) are parts of English speech, along with other words that make sense in normal conversation. He organizes them all into endearing rhythm and rhyme so personal they grab you and don't let go. I've never been to Alaska, but my imagination was pushed and prodded "north 65 latitude degrees" so that during that one sitting with his book (cover to cover) I was there.

I was there, man, freezing and itching and stinging from the biting flies and mosquitoes, flogging frozen fog at Iditerod, fishing for reds and silvers and kings, soaring over glaciated rivers, working in the villages with my hands while working the bush with my mind, and loving every moment from my easy chair here in Virginia. A fun book. And I loved continuously chuckling and even was surprised by several real belly laughs, all too rare experiences for me these days. If you'd like a mental flight with a cynical comic to the rugged Alaska outdoors, you'll like this book.

In earning his second doctorate, Arthur Lerner explores these three poets. Dr. Lerner's writing (essays, poems, and even personal letters) are marked by efficient phrasing and deep scholarship. Those in the adjunctive therapies of biblio- or poetry therapy must add this to their research library. A note: Dr. Lerner passed away from a stroke in April, 1998.

The teory is excellent, this book explains to you everything about soil mechanics, but the practice (examples and exercises) is not so good and sometimes that's what really matters to you.

I used this book in the university and now that I'm working I still use it frecuently because it explains to you very good things in a very easy way.

Another problem of this book is that it might be a little too advance for undergraduate student if it's the first time you ever see soil mechanics, but in general terms it's a good book.
