My three-year old lovrd this. Nice pictures of an old-fashioned Thanksgiving, but he particularly liked the idea of a ook you could sing along to.

i read this book when i was five, it was one of my favorites, and i had it memorized with reading it by myself, and having my parents, and grandparents read it with me. this was a great experience, and i will share this wonderful story with my children.:)

The definitive surgical text. Having tried many others, the Oxford Text Book of Surgery remains, in my view, the gold standard resource for any surgical trainee.

Imagine the friendliest of a neighbor, who happens to be a professional artist and extraordianry teacher, is helping you
create unique and personal artifacts as gifts or for your home. That's Hope Eastman taking you step by step through many simple and a few challenging projects in Painted Treasures.
This book is littered with photos that clearly demonstrate the techniques so beautifully described by Hope Eastman as well as the necessary supplies and finished project as expressed by Hope. Yours will be different or at least it should. There are projects you could do with your kids in one afternoon and projects to challenge the experienced decorater. Get this book and it will inspire you to express yourself.

The Painted Zoo is not really a book. It is so much more than that. It is, in fact, a jar brimming with 24 wooden animals with paints, brush & pen, wiggle eyes and a booklet full of ideas. My daughter and her friends love painting and decorating these zoo animals! They have spent hours painting them. We are now on our second jar and I am sure there will be others. What a find! Every child we know is getting a jar for Christmas or their birthday (whichever comes first).

The Panthers And The Militias: Brothers Under The Skin? by John A. Wood is a brief (52 pages) yet straightforward, scholarly analysis of the Black Panther movement and militias in America. History, similarities, differences, economic and cultural issues are all discussed in this learned treatise, which is exhaustively researched and meticulously written. The Panthers And The Militias is a welcome and original contribution to Black Studies and American History supplemental reading lists and academic reference collections.

As a general pediatrician I have found this to be one of the most practical texts in my library. Every orthopedic disorder found in pediatrics is covered, yet not so exhaustively as to be tiresome. Just the right amount of information, geared towards the non-orthopedist.

This is a refreshing book on wood finishing. Rather than go through a reference of chemicals, materials and abstract applications, Sue runs step-by-step thru about a dozen different projects. Each project is a little different in material, construction, application and approach. Each step is illustrated, explained, and given a time estimate.

Sue introduces dyes and glazes and takes you beyond the types of finishes that you will find on the shelf... Through the trip, she covers nearly the whole arsenal of a professional finisher.

It really helped me break out of my routine two finishes and open up to experimentation.

Definitely the right book for someone who wants to both learn and then move beyond the basics. This is different than references by Flexner and Jewitt, but a welcomed complement.

These four little books come in handy for trips, restaurants, etc. Kids can carry the case; the books are interesting enough and the flaps are durable. These are board books, so they are completely washable. Children love these characters, and this set makes a nice gift, for ages 1.5 to about 4. The stories include the typical themes of friends and sharing.

This is an excellent book for the professional designer or decorator looking for a comprehensive catalog of "out of the ordinary" finishes. The finishes reviewed are generally european in heritage, although many were imported to the US during the last 2 centuries. This is not a handbook for the weekend "do-it-yourself" decorator/painter as the finishes illustrated require multiple steps and practice to attain the desired look. The book is an excellent resource when discussing finishes and 'looks'with a professional painter/finisher. Additionally, the photographs are of a fine enough quality to help the reader understand the relationship of the color, technique and texture to the surrounding room. This should help the reader to visually conceive the design before the project execution and thereby minimize 'mistakes'. Enjoy!
