This book is the sequel to the much beloved 'little house by Boston Bay. The end of the great war of 1812 is much celebrated, although Charlotte must feel the loss of her father's apprentice Will, who has yet to return to the comforts of their dear home in Roxbury. Her older brother Lew loses his little finger to infection, and the Tucker family sadly learns that Will must lose his leg to the same disease. Through infections and hurricanes and mortal disasters alike, they posess an inner courage and faith which unites them to look for a better tomorrow, and inspires us to do the same. With a delectable spice of humor thrown in, this book is a must-read.

This was a very good book. Charlotte Tucker (Quiner) is a little girl living in the outskirts of Boston. She has many household chores to do while her older siblings go to school. She is living during the War of 1812, and it takes place a little bit after her father's striker, Will leaves to fight in the army. They miss him a lot, but the winter days are filled with many chores, so they don't have a lot of time to reflect or think. Another worry also comes to mind when Lewis (Charlotte's brother) gets an infection from a splinter. This is a pioneer family you will never forget!

"Little House by Boston Bay" and the beloved "On Tide Mill Lane" are classics of the Charlotte Years. But they are also the only books of the Charlotte books. Ms. Melissa Wiley, write more Charlottes, and not to mention the Martha Years! Notify all your Little House fans the second you can!

This book was good but it was too short. I would like
to a book in each series (Martha, Charlotte, etc.) writen
about each family from the mother's point of view.

This gives the reader an idea of how nice Roxbury, MA once
was. It sure isn't nice like that now!

This book was very good to read if you have read Little House by Boston Bay and On Tide Mill Lane. I would reccomend reading those books first. If you enjoy them I reccoment the Martha and Caroline and Laura and Rose Years as well.

If you loved Laura Ingalls Wilders' account of her life on the prairie, then you need to read all of these books, too. Written by various different authors, the books tell the stories of Laura's mother(Caroline), grandmother (Charlotte), and great-grandmother (Martha, who grew up in Scotland). This particular novel is a continuation of the story of Charlotte. Like the original Little House books, these books give a picture of the lives of girls growing up in earlier times than our own, and you get very caught up in all of it. There is also a series which tells of Laura's daughter Rose and her life. Read them all and get your kids (girls will especially like them) to read them, too!

Parents looking for a great introduction to counting? 1 2 3, repeat after me-- Buy this book! Its easy to grasp format and bright colors make this wonderful book appealing to everyone. Even to children.

I love this book, as I do any work by Sian Tucker. Her colorful, buoyant illustrations are simply a blast to look at. They are so bold and fun that I think many parents will find themselves selecting the book for night-time reading for their own enjoyment as much as for their children's. This is one of those books that will remain in the home long after the kids gave supposedly outgrown it. I heartily recommend that every home have at least one book by Sian Tucker.

The song this book is based on is my older son's favorite, so this book was a "must have" for us. We love the book's pictures---they are very comical and detailed---it's hilarious seeing how the cat has taken over poor Mr. Johnson's house. The version of the song in the book is, however, is quite different than I have heard it other places---it's quite toned down. This is not a bad thing, as the version on the tape my son listens to is actually quite gruesome. The book also has much fewer verses, but it does include my son's favorite verse, with the train! This book would be a winner with folk song lovers or cat lovers!

My Grandson age 3 and I checked this book out of the public library. We had so much fun with it that I ordered it and it will be under the Christmas tree for him. When he looks at it, he will remember the fun time we had reading it. The illustrations are good and you must "read" the illustrations as well as the copy in the book.

There is a lot of depth to this book, then there is a section on retaining your subconscious to lose weight and quit smoking. This book seems stuck between the secrets of the universe and self help. New Agers will be happy to find the chapters on the human Aura, Psychic Energy and Healing. Those seeking enlightement are going to like the chapters on Detachment, Meditation and Finding the True Self. There is a terrific exercise on detachment (IMO). This book also has a pretty comprehensive description of "Conscious Creation". There are some good exercises in this book but for the most part I didn't read anything in here revolutionary or that I haven't read somewhere before. The book does agree with texts I've read prior and perhaps its value is bringing many topics together in one place.

After I saw the movie scanners I have be looking to see if there was any real truth to psychic power or mind power to influence any thing besides ones self. I bought many books after I bought this one it said it had no interest in creating telepaths I almost put down. But I read it and slowly practiced the exercises. I can only say if you have the desire to live in this world at a level completely above mentally 87% of others read and practice this book.

Tucker Frazier breaks new ground in this thoughtfully written and thoroughly original work. Through her broad interviews and examples from her own life, she gives voice to the under represented of the under represented. And her reflections on the spiritual lives of multiracial people are profound. Readable, enjoyable, provocative.

This is a great book where Frazier explores many of the issues that multiraical people deal with. She uses personal interviews with multiracial people as well as drawing on her own personal experience. Although I am not multiracial (I am black) I found it very insightful and it will help me to relate to multiracial people better. A must read for anyone who is multiracial or who cares about befriending them.

Been born in Cuba, I was fascinated with the tittle of this book. You have to understand Cuba's role in the Civil War is not really known in our Cuban circles. The book was a little over priced, but I decided to purchase it. In truth, it was a superv book, both from a Cuban an Civil War perspective. The only reason I did not give this book a 5 star was the price tag that comes along such a skinny book.

It is great that someone took the time to research our history.

He claims to be easy going and laid back. He swears that he is content with relaxing during the day and sleeping during the night. However, in truth Atlanta private detective Flap Tucker spends all of his time on his cases, leaving him with no leisure time. He is not a normal sleuth as most people who know him call him a psychic. He begs to differ, insisting that he just meditates to clear his mind of everything but what he seeks.

This time Flap is involved in a strange case even by his weird standard. A young hooker is killed and left hanging on a pole by an apron, not a rope. Pinned to the body is a note saying: The Tarantella. The next victim is an artist who is found in the identical manner with a note stating The Tango. A robbery occurred quite a while ago in which three toxins were stolen. The first two were used to murder the victims. Flap uses his gift to seek the link between the deaths and the CDC before the third deadly poison is used.

Although the story line is not linear (it takes several unexpected and unusual detours), DANCING MADE EASY is one of Phillip DePoy's best works. There is a surreal feel to the plot that makes everything seem just out of focus, including people who are not what they seem to be. The who-done-it employs a gothic overlay that imbues a sense of foreboding into the whole story line, sending chills up and down the reader's spine. Mr. DePoy is putting Atlanta on the fictional detective map due to his delightful characters and the troubles they create for themselves.

This is the 4th in the Flap Tucker Zen detective series and it's a great one. I've really enjoyed these novels - the characters are unusual, likeable, they drink wine and make chahmin' double entendres while solving murders...kinda like a drawlin' Thin Man. I understand the 5th in the series comes out in late Fall. It is right up there with Lawrence Block as my next have-to purchase. These are a real find.

Look no further for preparing for the ACR written exam for physics

This is all you need to pass the Physics ABR board exam. A life raft in a sea of despair!

The second edition of this text is a must have book for any Radiology Resident or Medical Physicist. Each topic's review is very comprehensive and written to the point. This text should be used by Residents and Medical Physicist prior to taking their certification exams. There are questions at the end of each chapter's subject and there are two mock board exams that will help the resident or physicist identify his or her weaknesses.

Plot synopses:

YEAR OF THE QUIET SUN: U.S. government casts a time machine increasingly further into the future to gather political and demographic data, in an attempt to avert a looming civil conflict.

THE WINDS OF TIME: A spacefaring race crashes a ship on earth in prehistoric times and travel to the future by hibernation, waiting for a civilization to arise with sufficient technoogy to repair their spacecraft.

THERE WILL BE TIME: Random humans are born with the ability to move themselves forward and backward through time purely by mental will. They ally and utterly change the world.

All of these are excellent stories, with THERE WILL BE TIME standing out as the best of the three. Anderson beats the stuffing out of the time travel theme, as Alfred Bester did for telepaths in THE DEMOLISHED MAN. Not only do the characters jump between historical periods, they also find interesting uses for jumps of a few minutes forward or backward. Babies time travel with surprising results. THERE WILL BE TIME is very well thought out and worth the price of the book alone.

Three very different tales, each excellent in its own way. Shows the versatility of the time travel idea. Interesting how gloomy these authors thought the future (in some cases, our day) would be

this is one I read more that once. Startling now, how well Oliver portrays both the emptiness and boredom of 1950's middle class life and how well he gets us to fell the sense of loss among human like aliens whose spaceship crashes on Earth..all in the course of a really good story. Don't miss it!
