I have one word for you--yummy. I bought this book years ago at a book sale and I use this cookbook more than I any other in my collection. There are tons of recipes for brunch--scrapples, muffins and great salads. I have a few personal favorites that I make over and over. There are some very good vegetarian recipes (tofu reubens) and ethnic-influenced recipes (Rooster's Beak Salad and Javanese Rice Table) I am so glad this book is still available. I am buying it for my sister and my friend for Christmas.

"Struggle and Love: 1972-1997, From the Gary Convention to the Aftermath of the Million Man March" is the sixteenth and final volume in the Milestones in Black American History series. Actually this volume covers milestones from Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm announcing her bid for the presidency in January 1972 and ends with the death of Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown in an airplane crash over Croatia in April 1996. Mary Hull covers a lot of ground in seven chapters.

(1) "Unity Without Uniformity" looks at the convention in Gary, Indiana in 1972 when eight thousand African-Americans delegates with diverse political goals. While they failed to crate a new black political party, let alone a single black political agenda, they were able to create a sense that "All things are possible." (2) "Mixing Southie and Roxbury" examines the forced integration in Boston that began in the fall of 1974 with the busing of students. (3) "To Get Beyond Racism" focuses on the issue of affirmative action, begun during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations and challenged by the 1978 Bakke decision that ruled the policy was essentially reverse discrimination. (4) "Rolling Up Their Sleeves" looks at the political success of blacks, from Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Coalition campaign for the presidency to the election of L. Douglas Wilder as governor of Virginia and Carol Mosley Braun to the U.S. Senate. (5) "From 'Roots' to Rap" looks at how African-Americans have transformed the culture of the country from Toni Morrison winning the Nobel prize for literature to Michael Jordan becoming the most famous athlete on the planet. (6) "Criminal Justice" contrasts the "Scottsboro Boys" being found innocent 45 years after their convictions with the Rodney King riots and the O.J. Simpson trial. (7) "Putting the Chain Back Together" looks at the Million Man March in October of 1995 conceived by Nation of Islam minister Louis Farrakhan as a fitting counterpart to the Gary Convention of the opening chapter.

Hull's focus in this volume is on the struggle for leadership and focus among African Americans who have to deal with the desire to build consensus and the necessity of accepting the diversity of black politics. In that regard, the "Unity Without Uniformity" slogan popularized at the Gary Convention holds true. By taking more of an issue-oriented approach than a standard chronology, Hull is able to focus on important themes that establish the current concerns of African Americans. This is certainly appropriate because once you get to the present you are no longer dealing with history, but rather with politics. "Struggle and Love" is illustrated with black & white photographs and underscores that during this period, more so than anytime before, blacks in the United States are able to set their own agendas, cognizant of the cultural and economic problems that continue to exist.

This book is a great reference for anyone interested in Autism. It provides a theoretical background, including characteristics, etiology, and controversy concerning autism. Assessment issues are also discussed. Interventions for educational programming with regards to behavioral concerns, communication, social skills, and academics are given. Actual cases of people with autism are also included, which allows for additional understanding. It is very thorough. Excellent reference book, not recommended for light reading on the subject.

This is one of those treasures that I come back to time after time for information. There is so much packed into it and yet it's written in a straight-forward and readable fashion, and is well laid out. There's everything a self-publisher might need to know like how to construct a publishing timeline, how to calculate the size of a print run, ideas on how to sell more copies, how to cut costs, how to deal with printers and even how to organise a book launch.

The aspect I really love is that this book caters for those who want to do a small print run (even a single, special book) as well as for those who want thousands of copies. A little of the information (copyright in particular) is specific to the Australian and New Zealand markets, but most of this book is universal in appeal - there's plenty in it to make it worth buying no matter where you live.

This is one terrific book and one I recommend unreservedly.

This little book should be in every home bartender's library. It is filled with recipes for refreshing summer (and winter) drinks. From Long Island Ice Tea to Margaritas to Sangria, it has it all and much more! Loads of pictures, a section on suggested liquors and bar tools, and lots of easy to follow directions make preparing your favorites simple. It also has a section on non-alcoholic drinks for the designated driver! A great handbook!

I'm in 4th grade and I absolutely love this book! Stephanie decides to go to Camp Sail Away to be a CIT. She thinks it'll be great! When Stephanie gets to camp she finds out something awful. Her boyfriend Luke got kicked out of camp! She also found out that Luke spraypainted the boy's camp. Did someone want him to get him kicked out? Stephanie doubts that Luke would do anything like that. Luke keeps sneaking to camp to see Stephanie again. Someone finds out. At the same time Stephanie gets a special job. The job is to make sure the boats get tied up. Her job wasn't going too well. The boats keep on sinking. It wasn't her fault, was it? She finds out a secret that she could use against someone. You have to read the book to learn the rest!

This small poem book of cowboy life, rates at the top with Kipling, Stevenson and others of such class. Mr. Clark has put together a touch of the hardships and gut wrenching woes of ekeing out a living, captured the style and stories of the cowboy's wide open, freedom form and ethics, to this, a generous salting of humor is added for flavor. Definitely a top choice to curl up by the fire "and dreamed soft dreams of veal".

A great work for individual spiritual growth and for a better understanding of sacred scripture. Coupled with appropriate humor, the readings are topic focused and direct. The readings provide wonderful homily material for the ordained who are searching for new thoughts and meanings in scripture. A wonderful aid for anyone seeking a deeper meaning in scripture.

Susan Bennerstrom's work is deceptively simple and pleasing, but as you peel away the gorgeous colors and ubiquitous lines, you'll find a rich, complex emotional life. Could it be that Ms.Bennerstrom has wrapped her glorious vision of the world in seductive shapes and colors so that we'll come inside and experience it with her?

This book is just as inviting as Bennerstrom's paintings and contains rare insight into her work. For example, I would not have guessed at Bennerstrom's influences--Italian painters of the 20's and 30's. The writers of this book have made me curious them, too.

It is rare to be given a perspective on a painter who is in the midst of producing her best work. Hopefully, there will be future editions of this book that will keep up updated on Ms. Bennerstrom's world view.

I am very impressed with the quality of the writing in this little book. My favorite, by far, was a short story titled "A Conversation with God" which was interesting, clever, thought-provoking, and very funny. I will continue to buy Swagazine and will look for more stories by this author.
