This book is the first and best complete history of the famous 1903 Springfield rifle. It is logically written and laid out for easy reference for finding pertinent details quickly for the collector. The line drawings are clear and accurate in detail. It is an easy read and should be a part of every serious Springfield collector's library.

This book was written by one of my instructors and then used in the classroom. A great tool for those needing assitance with Office 97.

Preschoolers love this book. I've read it to groups in the library - it's perfect for the preschool classroom too as well as one-to-one between parent and child. Buster visits grandmother's farm and goes to look for some eggs. He visits the animals, hidden under flaps, and asks for eggs - the horse, the cow the pig and so one until he finally finds an egg for his breakfast under the hen. Each time (until the end of course) the refrain "no eggs here. Oh Dear!" is repeated and children soon catch on and join in. I hope the publisher will reprint this book, it deserves a long and happy life. A great companion for this book in the classroom would be Ruth Heller's CHICKENS AREN'T THE ONLY ONES.

Tom Campbell's book is extremely well written. The narrative unfolds quickly, bringing the reader into the mysterious maze of the Viet Cong supply route that belied the powerful bombing capacities of the U.S. military. It is written from the eyes of the teenagers conscripted into military duty, beginning with their grueling boot camp and their seasoned drill instructor. Scenes of the trail are spendidly presented, and readers will find themselved caught up in the suspense of the outcome. The book is an amazingly keen observer of minute details and larger conflictual perspectives. It is not overly sympathetic to either side, but quite human in presenting the nitty-gritty daily decisions soldiers from both sides were forced to make. You will find this book disturbing and stimulating. A high recommendation.

This is an extensively researched and well-written book that investigates how garden plants arrived in England. The writer, a respected garden historian and fellow of the Linnean Society, has chosen to divide her material into centuries. She sets the scene with a look at Roman and Anglo-Saxon approaches to gardening and plants, then gets into more detail about plant immigrants, starting with the first century of the second millennium.

To put the reader more clearly in the picture the writer starts each chapter (century) with a list of significant dates so we can see how historical events influenced the arrival of plants. In the twelfth century, for example, plant introductions were influenced by the Crusades as plants were brought to Britain from the eastern Mediterranean region.

But this is not just a book about plants; it's also about the people associated with them. Sir Thomas More, for example, who in his book Utopia envisaged a town where everyone had a garden around their home.

New plants are still arriving in England from around the world. A "living fossil" tree was discovered in Australia in 1994. Its Latin name is Wollemia nobilis (it was found by David Noble) and it is known as the Dinosaur pine. Plants have been arriving from every continent for centuries and shared back and forth especially to Europe and the US. Just as many new plants went from the New World to brighten English gardens, so seeds and plants were taken to North America by English settlers to create gardens in their new homeland.

If you enjoy reading about the background and history of plants, who found them and how they came to us, you will enjoy this book. It has a very decent bibliography and deserves a place in every plantsman's (and woman's) library.

This collection from Bottom Dog Press is excellent for anyone who's been looking for a good college-text to get students talking about literature and work. In these stories, students will find their fathers, mothers, uncles, aunts, and even themselves. Literature about work provides a rich opportunity for discussion and learning, and this book is definetely rich in its potential. Bret Comar's story is especially breath-taking.

Tillett takes us through the seasons of the magnificent bighorn mountain sheep with an informative grace and easy style. Detailed without becoming swamped in academia, this is a must read title for any North American wildlife or sports enthusiast. Amazing photography by Serle Chapman. A wonderfully informative book.

In Austin, an upset Emerald visits her stepsister Darcy, who is working on a sculpture of a bookworm for the nearby children's wing of the library. Apparently their mother Olivia Ferrar, married three times and now a widow, plans to return to the altar with someone she met in cyberspace. A few minutes later, Sloan English sent by his distraught aunt from his Tulsa home arrives at Darcy's home to consult with her about his father John's plans to marry her mother after meeting on the Internet.

However, to Darcy's horror, Sloan collapses at her feet. Apparently, he suffers from a non-contagious illness he caught while traveling overseas. Later on, while Sloan and Darcy confer about their parents and other lunatic relatives, they fall in love with one another. However, their relationship has little hope of permanency if her stepsister and his aunt have any say in the matter.

P.S. LOVE YOU MADLY is an amusing contemporary romance with the emphasis on contemporary as the net and e-mail play major roles in the story line. The lead couple is a delightful duo who play straight roles as the zany support cast takes them on a wilder ride than that of Mr. Toad. Anyone who enjoys a hilarious romantic romp will gain extensive joy from best-selling author Bethany Campbell's twenty-first century comedy of errors.
