The several year search for this excellent book was well worth the wait!! Covers the entire life of the B&SR, as well as including many valuable photos, track plans, motive power roster, and rolling stock roster. A must for any fan of Maine Two Foot narrow gauge history or narrow gauge model railroader.

This is a book especially devoted to explain the pathophysiology of the fetal diseases by showing solid data and updated references. Very useful for research, presentation, and patient care.

This is the long-awaited third edition of the Unborn Patient, and a review of the contents holds promise for an ambitious and rather complete look at the field of fetal therapy. That the editors have amassed an international cast of contributing authors, each a recognized expert in his/her specialized area, is a tribute and testament to the respect and role the editors, especially Harrison, hold as pioneers and perhaps even mavericks in this fast and everchanging field. The book is well thought out and composed; chapters are well written and edited. Carry-over chapters from previous editions are substantially updated to include world experience-to-date as well as the present state of the art for treatment of particular anomalies. This is especially true of the chapter on CDH, whose history for treatment and evolution of techniques for intervention is beautifully and thoroughly documented, and makes for interesting and informative reading. In fact, this chronicle could serve as a template to describe so many other controversial medical therapies in their infancies and eventual acceptance into practice. In addition, the third edition ventures off into emerging therapies such as minimally invasive surgical techniques, surgical robotics, fetal cellular therapy, etc. Unborn Patient is replete with exquisite illustrations and lush black/white and color photos. (The clever cartoons are particularly revealing and ironic.) The far-reaching but detailed scope of this latest edition will make the book an excellent source of information and a useful reference guide for medical and lay communities alike. Given where the field of fetal therapy is today, it will be interesting to see how poised, equipped, and prepared medical professionals and indeed society as a whole are to handle the options, risks, and decision-making involved with the fetus emerging as a full-fledged patient.

This book is a refresher course for those who have studied this same subject under Kenneth Hagin. As far as I can see, it doesn't add anything new, nor does it cover everything compared to the lessons taught by Mr. Hagin.

The book itself is done pretty well, and is certainly a must for those seeking the truth behind the Spiritual Gifts. This book is good as a primer in this study and also good for those just learning about this subject.

Overall, this book is great. I was disappointed in that it didn't offer anything new from what I learned from reading under Kenneth Hagin, but I was impressed that it covered the material well. This book is primer and a refresher for those under Kenneth Hagin, and is a nice introduction for those just learning about the subject.

The Venturers is a family history of the highest caliber. It is a well researched and masterful blend of history, genealogy and drama covering 300 years of American history and the role of the Hampton family, beginning with William Hampton the immigrant who came to Virginia from England in 1620 and their allied Harrison and Earle Families. The author, Virginia G. Meynard is a seasoned journalist and experienced genealogist. Make no mistake in thinking this to be mostly narrative; it is a solidly and extensively researched genealogy for either the budding or professional genealogist.

This book is a wonderfull display of british artwork, it is also extremely informative and a trully usefull and pleasurable book to have. I can not recomend it highly enough.

Barbara Grizzuti Harrison is an amazing author, and I think this may be her least known book, though it is some of her finest work.

Visions of Glory is both her personal escape from the Watchtower Society and a public history of the Jehovah's Witnesses. The history part is well researched and would be of interest to any ex-JW. Her personal story is inspiring; this is probably the book that single-handedly changed my life for the better as a teen understanding my quasi-christian past.

Harrison is a wonderful writer, and comes across as the best friend or grandma you wish you'd had. She's eloquent, but not long or hard to understand (and she uses parentheses more than anyone else I've ever read). There are countless passages that surprised me when I read them or even made me cry- hell, that make me cry still. She's wonderful, too, for the funny quote you just gotta share on your blog.

Barbara Grizzuti Harrison writes of her life as Jehovah's Witness during the 1950's. One would hope in almost 50 years that the beliefs, prejudices, and controlling aspects of the religion would have changed during this time. As a former Jehovah's Witness who was involved in the sect up until 1995 I can attest that this is not the case.

Grizzuti Harrison writes in such a way as to provide a window into the religion for those who have never been involved in it, and a mirror for those, like myself, who spent much of their lives within the faith. I recommend this book wholeheartedly as a research tool, and for those people whose family members have become, or are thinking of becoming involved with the organization known as the Jehovah's Witnesses. It is also a healing tool for those who have left, a reaffirmation of the presence of sanity after leaving a dysfunctional religion.

This is a great book for boys and girls to read. The children won't be able to put it down and will want to play sports.

Any saltwater fly fisherman will recieve alot of pleasure from this book. Excellant accounts of flats fishing in the keys along with wonderful photography makes this a great coffee table book that actually has substance. Once you enjoy this book, you will purchase another as a gift for a fellow angler.
