Victoria Books

I am the author of this book. The foreword was written by Fr. Robert DeGrandis, SSJ. He writes: "There are some books in life, which make a deep impression and stir one's soul, so that change happens without realizing it. This is such a work. It was commissioned by Our Lord Jesus Christ, so we know all will gather great fruit by reflecting over it."

This book was written to emphasize the important aspect of forgiveness and the need of it for healing in our lives. It is full of scripture and meditations from the Lord on how we can draw closer to Him by imitating His forgiveness and mercy.

What a smart way to teach! Storytelling for kids! The CD is very helpful and fun. We listen to the CD in the car all the time. My sons ask me for "Spanish-Live music" Love it.

This large book, now in its eighth edition is a compiled list of grant awarding institutions that have a proven interest in making grants for libraries and information services. It includes some 1,600 granting organizations selected because libraries and information services are specifically stated as a type of organization they support, or because they have given out actual grants of $10,000 or more.

The granting organizations are broken down by state, and within states by name. Information supplied about each organization includes how much money they have, how much they give out, their stated purpose, fields of interest, types of support and any limitations (some organizations limit their giving to local areas, such as Boston).

There are quite a number of books written on how to apply for a grant, what should be included in your application, and so on. But after you get the application written, what do you do with it. To whom do you send it. This book is put together by The Foundation Center, a non-profit organization that was set up to assist other non-profits in their grant writing process. Their overall database includes over 78,000 grantmaking foundations.

This book has only those organizations making grants to libraries and information services extracted from that database. This obviously saves your time, and of course your money. At the $125 price, smaller organizations may be unwilling or even unable to spend that much for such a book. The price however, seems fair. This book is not going to sell in the quantities you would expect of a Harry Potter novel, and The Foundation Center has to recoup their costs.

What you are buying for the $125 is time (it would take you a very long time to find these organizations) and completeness (you would never find all of these organizations). The cost should be recovered in the first grant received from a source you never contacted before.

This book has information that you basically cannot do without if you are seeking grants.

This book has the most complete compilation of neutron total cross sections presently available. It would be advisable that the world wide neutron users community have it in its libraries, because it contains information that is usually out of the scope of the large Neutron Centers, and frequently forgotten

The book is extracts from the very intimate journals of the fiddle and dancing master who taught Queen Victoria, her husband and their older children all about Scottish dancing and music and through those many subtle lessons about the essential Scottish character. As they master the steps and dances you join them as they start to have fun, putting on small dance parties and then grand Highland balls. By the end of the book you will want to find your nearest Royal Scottish Country Dance Society class and learn enough to join in the exact same fun.

How has scientific research and advancements been commercialized for business and economic advancement? Any who want to create wealth from scientific achievement would do well to understand the processes involved, and the intention of New Wealth: Commercialization Of Science And Technology For Business And Economic Development by the collaborative team of George Kozmetsky, Frederick Williams & Victoria Williams is to provide the aspiring entrepreneur with a thorough, technical assessment of how technology translates to business wealth. Chapters discuss the evolution and applications of the 'technolopolis network', survey regional revitalization and catalysts for change, and apply a business framework to scientific discovery. College-level audiences will find this important.

The book is this author's best yet. It is divided into two parts. The first is a series of dramatic stories of the bush fires and city fires during the 1870s. The second half is a series of chapters containing insightful views of how New Zealand colonial society was organised.

Nga Pepeha a Nga Tipuna is a definitive and exhaustive anthology of the sayings and proverbs of the Mâori people of Aotearoa (New Zealand).
Such sayings remain a feature of mâori life, and are especially used in oratory. For mâori a work such as this is a tâonga, a treasure. For others wanting to gain an appreciation of mâori and their world view, the assembled pepeha offer a window into that.

Leann likes rich men-especially rich men who can support her nicely. Love isn't part of the picture. When her current lover confronts her about her light-fingered ways, leaving isn't a problem. She drifts, stopping only when her car breaks down in backwater Texas. Luck is with her though, and she finds herself taken into the home of the town's mayor and his handsome-and easily entranced-son. But when the mayor's eldest son is murdered Leann finds herself in the hotseat. She has to prove her innocence, stay out of jail, and, above all, keep from falling in love!

NIGHT SWEATS is not quite a `stroke book' but, the plot takes a backseat to the character's sexual proclivities in this highly-sexed volume of pulp erotic fiction. The murder mystery that sits at the heart of the story is intriguing, and is as sexually oriented as the rest of the story. Technically, the book is well-written. There are a lot of flashbacks, but they add color and characterization. Readers shouldn't embark on NIGHT SWEATS for a literary experience, however. Manley writes to excite and titillate-and she's excellent at it! Fast, fun, and hot, hot, hot, NIGHT SWEATS is a sure-fire pleaser for those seeking explicit sex and lots of it.

I have not yet finished this book, but have thoroughly enjoyed the first 20-30 pages after I got it yesterday in the mail.

When I looked back at this page in Amazon, however, I was amazed at how little information there was, so this is the flyleaf. I hope it helps!

"As a young adolescent, Hollis Dorion Stabler underwent a Native ceremony in which he was given the new name Na-zhin-thia, Slow to Rise. It was a name that no white person asked to know during Hollis's tour of duty in Anzio, his unacknowledged difference as an Omaha Indian adding to the poignancy of his uneasy fellowship with foreign and American soldiers alike. Stabler's story--coming of age on the American plains, going to war, facing new estrangement upon coming home--is a universal one, rendered wonderfully strange and personal by Stabler's uncommon perspective, which embraces two worlds, and by his unique voice.

"Stabler's experiences during World War II--tours of duty in Tunisia and Morocco as well as Italy and France, and the loss of his brother in battle--are at the center of this powerful memoir, which tells of growing up as an Omaha Indian in the small-town Midwest of Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and Oklahoma in the 1920s and 1930s. A descendant of the Indians who negotiated with Lewis and Clark on the Missouri River, Stabler describes a childhood that was a curious mixture of progressivism and Indian tradition, and that culminated in his enlisting in the old horse cavalry when war broke out--a path not so very different from that walked by his ancestors.

"Victoria Smith, of Cherokee-Delaware descent, interweaves historical insight with Stabler's vivid reminiscences, providing a rich context for this singular life."
