I was amazed at the poeverty level of the Migrant workers in California. I was not aware that any Migrant families actually lived in housing the way these families did. This is a must read for every one to truly understand what Migrant life is all about.

This book begins with a short history of music, describing how different types of 'classical' written music evolved from the 14-15th century to the present century. Then, it has one page samples of the different types of classical music (opera, hymns, descriptive, spiritual,..) along with a brief description of the author, or the music. I liked the diagrams that illustrated these descriptions. In the back of the book are hints for playing the pieces. This book is good for an intermediate student, and gives a nice overview of classic music.

When nana rides into town, many things happen. In this book you follow a little girl's nana through town on her "hog". Incidences such as the "Three sisters trike shop" give this book alot of humor. I give this book a ***** rating and would give more if it was allowed. Nana is like a "60 year old 20 year old". Of course, since I know the illustrator I would have to be partial, but I think illustration mkes the book;)

The level of information is extremely high for all parts of the country and gives great information on the specifics of individual properties. Reviewed it at an inn in New Heaven and sent away for it immediately. I compared entries to actual experiences and found it exquisitely accurate.

This is no lightweight with a few pictures and general dog stuff. A great book about a great breed. It offers history of the breed, care and characteristics. A must-read for all enthustiasts or people just thinking about their first Great Dane!

For students of Dane Rudhyar (we all are but we don't all know it) and his Astrology of Personality, this little book is a must read. Rudhyar, the musician philosopher humanist expander of consciousness and understander of feminine and masculine relationship, has waxed poetic. This book is poetry. Almost music itself and flooded with light and understanding. Some a bit esoteric but made accessible through lyrics. Here's another book that should never be out of print. It's true the title sounds a bit exclusive but, well, since we are all evolving, sometimes we look back and we might not say the same things the same way ...

Great book for children and adults alike. The author has assembled a collection of facts that will answer most common questions about the timing of the new millennium, the origin of our calendar, and many interesting facts about the calendars of other cultures. It is fun to read, is full of colorful illustrations, and is a sure-fire conversation starter.

Cleverly conceived by Larry Dane Brimmer and colorfully illustrated by Karen E. Pellaton, The Official M&M's History Of The Calendar traces the history and development of the calendar from prehistorical notches on bone and tracing the migratory patterns of the mammoths, to utilizing the phases of the moon and positioning of the sun. Ideally suited to young readers ages 7 to 10, the M&M characters Red and Yellow serve as engaging guides to this informatively fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable approach to the history of the calendar. The Official M&M's History Of The Calendar is also available in a hardcover edition.

'Roxane, the Blue Dane'is an exciting book written thru the eyes and voice of 'Roxane', the dog. It takes you to a calmer, gentler time, in the past century......you meet many people and animals, as the mistress of 'Roxane' goes throughout the countryside painting portraits, always taking her, along. The illistrations are beautiful and many. I received the book from the mailman, and before I got in the house,I had already read 38 pages. Alice Kingham-Lachevre, is not only an artist, but a colorful story teller. This book is a must for any animal lover or a person interested, in the life of an artist.

I loved the book, it was extremely enspiring and showed the true strength of the character (Sara) and described the beauty that Australia was and still is with such perfection. It was breathtaking and I have already read it 5 times this year!!
