Minnesota Books

The personal world of 16-year old Emma Altenberg is turned upside down and inside out when the United States enters World War I and an anti-German hysteria sweeps through New Ulm, Minnesota. The patriotic hysteria of war fanning anti-German prejudice disrupts the lives of friends and family. Emma finds herself struggling with the the changes taking place within her family and with her peers. Author Kathryn Adams Doty draws upon her personal history of having been born in New Ulm, Minnesota as the daughter of Anna and Christian Hohn (who was pastor of the German Methodist Church) to provide this outstanding and highly recommended novel with a true touch of authenticity based upon a neglected bit of 20th Century American midwestern history.

Her books are so wonderful. This book was so good I didn't want it to end. Everyone I've passed it on to loved it. Wish there were more.

...to live or to visit. The artwork and accompanying paragraphsclearly define what Minnesota is all about. Written for young people,it's a great gift for grownups as well. No wonder it's popular at da U.

Lermontov was a hero of my teenage years. His poems, heavily influenced by Byronic romanticism are an example of expressiveness and melancholy of the Russian soul. Lermontov was one of the greatest Russia poets ever, whose life was tragically cut short in Pyatigorsk in the North Caucasus, when he was not yet 28.

The author has some displeasing theoretical positions, but the history of recorded music in the first section is very good. The analysis of My Fair Lady can be a bit tedious, but it does illustrate the commercial side of recorded music and its enjoyment quite well. Also an interesting discussion of stereo. It's a nice, light read that is a real pleasure.

I purchased the book as text for Mammology class @ BemidjI State University. The Author taught the course and related that he could find no book that gave the imformation as he wanted it presented. So he wrote the book as he saw it should be presented. The diagrams and dentition were fascinatiing. The range maps were entlightening. The book was organized by all the different orders of the mammal family. I am glad to return it to my collection of reference books.

Excellent photos, illustrations, explanations and layouts. The series of nature books by Stan Tekiela is the best I have seen in collecting nature books for over 30 years. The easy to read text, is very accurate and it is easy to find the information you need by the paragraph headings. I would recommed this and his other books on birds, trees and wildflowers.

There is so much in this book that mirrors my own life it's scary! It makes it difficult to write my own story without fear of being accused of plaigarism. I was fortunate enough to get an autographed copy! I truly do treasure this book!
