I may be biased, because it's about my family, but it is a wonderful story. It is so interesting, because in this day and age when we can have anything we want at a touch of a button, my Great Uncle and my Grandfather had a unique life and though it had it's ups and downs, I believe it made them the wonderful, caring people they are today.

I hope you'll read it. Enjoy!

I have looked everywhere for materials to help me teach my 11th graders the novels that are required, but still meet the content standards for Florida. Everything from the vocabulary activities to the post-reading activites are great. I would recommend this guide to all teachers--much better than Teacher Created Materials.

I am homeschooling a first grader and we are so enjoying this book and making the "pockets" and filling them with projects! For each of the Caldecott winner books that you read, there is a section with art and crafty little assignments you do to add to each pocket. My 5 year old is quite proud of each new addition.

This book is good for in the classroom as well as to send home with the students to practice at home. The kids can trace and write words that could be common in kinder level writing.

I believe this book is expertly researched and should be part of everyone's collection of outdoor guides.
Once the most advanced means of fire detection, the fire-protection lookout towers built and manned in the 1900's in Washington State are now historic sites and an intrinsic part of the heritage of the Northwest and its people.. This book is a complete history of the lookouts and tribute to the people who often endured challenging conditions, from loneliness to forbidding weather, while serving as firewatchers.

I read this book as part of an 11th Grade Language arts project, and found it to be an easy read. The surprising part was that even though this was an easy book to read it still kept the readers interest. Due to some minor references to nude beaches and other information that may be considered inappropriate, I would recommend this to the 8-12th grade range. Anyone above that point may find the book boring, and below may not fully understand some of the content. As far as the writing style, I enjoyed how the author switched point of views between the children frequently in order to give you a better understanding of how they are handling the situation both physically as well as mentally. Jonathon Neale made sure that you understood which child was speaking by putting their names in big letters before beginning the text. The author incorporates sailing terms into the book, but makes sure to explain them while remaining in context. Overall I would highly recommend this book, it offers a unique twist into your normal action type story. My only complaint would be that the ending leaves you hanging, waiting for more.

While I've never reviewed books put out by the ARRL, and Jim Kearman-kr1s before, the only thing I can say is this, "It's About Time" this very excellent book was done justice. Like most "League" publications, it makes a very excellent book for a beginning ham, or a veteran of the tubes and wires, over fancy circuits. Whatever the case, I can say as a very proud ham, myself, that if you're on a budget, READ THIS BOOK FIRST! Not only will you enjoy reading this book, (it's plain fun) it will also give you ideas. Certainly,as far as reference books go, a copy belongs in everyone's library!

This book is a must for all power systems engineers (industry and academia). the authors have embarked on a problem which is of great importance in today's competetive dergulated power industry. with ever growing need for increasing profits and reducing the cost of generation and transmission, the maintenance scheduling could make or break a power provider. The authors have ever so correctly addressed this problem both from theoretical and practical point of view. Their recommendations and suggestions regarding the present, past and future practices are right on target. As an academician I think both students and practicing engineers should use this book for it's theoretical, practical and up to date information on maintenance scheduling.

This book has so many useable activities in it! I leave it on my desk for a substitute to use in case of emergencies! Some activities require a copied worksheet (master included in the book) for each student and some require only the word wall itself or flash cards of the high frequency words on your wall. We have had so much fun doing activities like Musical Chairs, Letters in Words, Word Wall Memory, etc. I can't wait to do more!
