I am a person with a heart yearning to learn. I know I will continue to learn from these stories all my life. And, I know that in sharing these stories, I will bring understanding to other's lives.

This is a great korean war book. It's practically the best book I've ever read. It's Better than Thunder Of the Captains (the original book). I enjoyed readig this book more than playing the computer! Hey if you ask me you should definatly get this book used or unused cause it's the BEST EVER!

No matter how many times I read this book I still feel all the emotions that I felt the first time I read it. I am so looking forward to reading the sequel, if I could only find it since it has gone out of print. Anyone who comes across this story should consider themselves lucky. Baker should think of writing more books like this one and maybe putting this book back in print.

My dad bought Ian Summers' Tomorrow & Beyond when I was just a kid back either in the late 1970s or early 1980s (somewhere between 1979 and 1981). All this book is is a collection of science fiction artwork, which tells you who does each of the paintings. There is nothing much to read in this book, just a collection of artwork. Most of the artwork is very surrealistic, many of the artwork you see was new to 1978 when this book was first published. I can't remember the artists featured in this book because this book hadn't been with me since 1995, it was left behind when I moved after my mother had a divorce with my dad, so the book is still (as far as I know) in the hands of my dad. When Tomorrow & Beyond was published late in 1978, OMNI was a brand new magazine dealing with science, and many of the illustrations in this book would later be featured as covers of various issues of OMNI. If you're fascinated with how sci-fi artwork was like in the 1970s, be sure to find a copy of Tomorrow & Beyond.

Jean Van Leeuwen's story of summer vacations at the typical Northern lake brought back many of my own childhood memories as I read it to my two boys, Pieter and Lucas. Even the names of the two brothers in the story are so close to home! I grew up in west Michigan and spent many Summer vacations with my parents and siblings, 5 sisters and 1 brother, at cottages on a Big Star Lake in northern Michigan. The sounds and smells and sights described in the book flooded my mind with pockets of fond memories of our family weeks in the woods. We also had our raft to swim to, about 30 yards out from shore. And as we grew and our swimming proficiancies increased, we were allowed to swim out with each other and, of course, our Dad, who taught us to dive properly. I found the book to ring true for many a families' vacations throughout the country. I know the text and the beautiful illustrations by Dan Andreason will be enjoyed by anyone who picks up this book and is swept away by its pages.

This book was inspiring to me as each chapter is a real-life tale of personal achievement over a deadly disease. For cancer patients, it should provide insights, and for loved ones, ways of coping and guiding the patient. For me with a family history of cancer, I see it as preparation! A nice little book to have.

I recently got the chance to look over a copy of this book , and although I didn't get a chance to read it extensively nor in depth, I got the feeling that this was and is, one book , that no plant loving individuals library, should be with out. It is with out a doubt , a must have if you can get your hands on a copy.

I have read this book several times, and have given to every important person in my life. If you want to know the landscape of western South Dakota in all its sundry emotions, walk across it. If you don't have the time for that, read this book. It doesn't get any more intimate than this.

My 15 month old son absolutely loves it

I loved this book. I had read the first edition, but this new paperback has more story at a better price. The author, Wilson Crawford, is from North Carolina and seems to understand what growing up in the South is all about. The characters, a young boy growing into manhood and young woman, trying to escape the clutches of a dead end, boring mill town are developed skillfully. Their lives are detailed during two separate summers in the town of Linton, North Carolina. The author weaves their lives together, intertwining on a chance set of circumstances, one hot humid night. It causes a scandal of epic proportions in this little town where nothing happens but the stop lights changing. Enjoy this book. I'm going to read "The Envelope" next-I enjoy the style of Mr. Crawford. Very easy to read.
