This book captures a man's spiritual journey from a young confused boy serving door-to-door as a Jehovah's witness in New Jersey to the jungles of Irian Jaya, where he served as a messenger of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to tribal animist.

Along with this exciting journey, each chapter asks powerful questions to the reader. This book is both an easy read and a powerful tool. It has helped me see how God can use anyone, and I am certain that any reader would also be challenged in the same way.

This book is perfect for coaches and players who are new to the game of girls'/women's Lacrosse. Several years ago, when I was recruited to coach my daughter's youth league team, I searched high and low for a book, such as this one, covering the girls' game. I found plenty of books for boy's Lacrosse and a few that had a chapter or two covering girls' Lacrosse. Often, these books covered very outdated techniques and methods. Bottom line, there was no comprehensive guide for teaching and developing young girls into well-rounded Lacrosse players. Coach Tucker's book is a great guide for dad's like me who have men's Lacrosse experience, beginning coaches, new players, and, of course, baffled parents. My favorite section covers the suggested drills. Each drill is clearly defined and well diagramed. She also provides great advice for managing practice and keeping the girls involved and excited about playing lacrosse. I plan to implement many of her suggestions into my practices. A must read for coaches and parents who are interested in developing technically sound players who love the game of girls' Lacrosse.

This is a nifty little handbook that handled nearly all the identification needed for amateur shell collecting on Cayo Costa, a barrier island on Florida's west coast. The photographs are accurate and information is easy to find.

This is the best book I've seen for teaching children their colors. The bold graphics are simple and appealing. There is soothing repetition in the format, with just enough variation to keep little ones interested. This book is most appropriate for use with a single child, since the details of the pictures might not be readily visable to a group, and there is no text except for the color names. The adult who has time and energy for cuddling close and pointing things out ("Look, here the clown has a shirt with blue stripes." "Oops, the ladder has a broken rung.") will find using this book to be very rewarding.

Marc has a unique vision of American situation comedy. He sees it through the lens of classical criticism, seeking themes, genres, and other Greek-sounding nouns. He places American sitcoms in historical contexts. He does all of this so brilliantly and in such a readable yet erudite manner that a reader familiar with both "Bewitched" and "Beowulf" will find the book a treasure. I have never found a better book about American comedy in the post World War II era. So much of that comedy was televised that David Marc owns the patent on its intelligent criticism with this book.

This volume is a sharp collection of essays offering a solid grounding in the Victorian period's history as well as in current scholarship on its literature and culture. Students new to the period will benefit from the volume's multifaceted, multiply focused approach to the period; they will also find each chapter/essay's suggestions for further reading helpful if they choose to continue studying that chapter/essay's topic. More advanced students will also appreciate this volume as a wide-ranging reference.

This is one of the most complete reference books of its kind. Author shows a wide species mix with quality color pictures. One of the 3 best books for general collectors.

An outstanding book on portfolio theory and management. Covers all relevant topics with breadth and depth. Can be used as a single text for teaching. Complete in it's content. Useful for the novice and the professional. There should be a paperback version for students.
