We all know how brilliant Perry Mason is, and in 'Worried Waitress' he shows it off like never before. This time, he's up against impossible odds [not to mention Hamilton Burger] in a case that is virtually nailed shut. The mystery whirls through multiple case-changing revelations until it reaches the final court-room scene, in which Mason throws out an ace like you've never seen. This one is a fitting end to the 80+ series starring Perry Mason, and it's got to be read to be believed.

I grew up with my father reading this book to me as a bed time story, It was my favorite book growing up and I was curious if Amazon.com had it and apparently they do...

It is a story about a stray cat and a classroom adopts him as their school pet...

If you are looking for a good bed time story book to read to your kids, this is it!

This book was so informative. Telling of how one learns to play cat's cradle. The directions and figures were great. So easy to follow and play

This Famous Artist book by Antony Mason serves as an introduction to the life and work of Paul Cezanne. These books are organized in a particular way for each two-page spread: On the left page there is an illustration of the artist's home or environment and the story of the artist's life, along with a painting and a small symbol used to indicate the size of the paintings relative to a person. On the right page there are more paintings (usually with a key section enlarged) with text about the artist's work at the time, along with a feature on the artist's technique (e.g., painting with a palette knife, using watercolor, showing depth) with practical projects to try. I have read a couple of other books on Cezanne and Mason certainly provides a better understanding of how the artist is a major influence in Post-Impressionist art and is called the father of Modern Art.

Of the several books look at the life and art of Cezanne this particular volume probably has the best balance between the two. This book will certainly give you the basics and in the back you will find a brief history of art that puts the Impressionist movement in perspective and a list of museums and galleries at which you can see examples of Cezanne's work, although much of it is in the hands of private collectors. Other titles in the Famous Artists series look at Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Monet, Picasso and Van Gogh.

This is an excellent book for children and adults to learn more about Alaska. It is beautifully photographed. We lived in Fairbanks, AK for 19 years! We gave it as a Christmas gift to our family members. Well cone.

Just looking at the table of contents of this book made me drool. A comprehensive collection of primary documents dealing with childhood since the colonial era.

Many of the poem in this book have been out of print for many years, and I'm glad they've been brought back to light. When you read his poems, you can smell the sage and hear the ring of the bell mare. If I could only keep one book, Kiskaddon's would be the one.

This is a superb collection of mini-essays on the 200 most important figures in land warfare from A.D. 941 through 1988. The 199 men and 1 woman are listed chronologically at the beginning and then alphabetically, with cross-references where necessary, in the text. The individual entries not only recont major achievements and failures, but also deliver a cogent analysis of each leader's relative worth as a military commander -- only Marshal Zhukov is given notoriously short shrift.

Like all books, this one has its quirks: sailors and airmen need not apply, but a couple of paratroopers and military theorists made the cut. Coverage is international but heavily weighted toward Western Europe at 130 entries, or 69 percent. However, considering that Europe dominated warfare in this millenium, the book is not excessively biased in that direction.

Naturally, no work is perfect, and this one lacks an index, bibliography, sources, and suggested reading.

Yet, despite these minor shortcomings, I believe "A Concise Dictionary of Military Biography" will stand as a landmark work for its brevity, sound judgment, and clear writing.

John Mason has really outdone himself this time. His books just keep getting better and better. I definitely recommend this book as well as the others he has written. I have them all and am anticipating the arrival every new one in the future!

Mason's book is divided into two sections: 1 which contains the long narrative title poem and the 2nd which contains a handful of his other poems (including "Song of the Powers"). I think he might have done better to put "The Country I Remember" after the shorter poems. "The Country I Remember" was such a great poem, that the shorter poems (except "Song of the Powers") couldn't match up to. "The Country I Remember" is divided into twelve sections, each section told by an alternating point-of-view, between Lt. Mitchell, a Civil War veteran, and his daughter, both at the end of their lives. Mason's skill at the narrative poem is phenomenal. You forget that you are reading a 'long' poem because the story keeps the reader moving forward. Mason writes in both voices extremely well, and at no time are the two distinct and separate voices confused. For people who ask the question as to why there should be narrative poetry, this poem is the answer.
