Beauty Books

We have gotten 4 of the books in the series now. My little girl and i read them together as bedtime stories and she loves them. The stories and engaging and unique - putting a great new twist on some old stories!! Looking forward to seeing what comes next.

The only thing worse than having an itch in a place you can't scratch is not owning this timeless literary touchstone. Probably the greatest book ever written.

What a great idea! This is a daily devotional book for teens that deals with REAL issues. It only takes 5 minutes a day to read but it offers valuable lessons and true-to-life examples of how to to cope with the pressures that teen girls face.
The girls will be impressed that it has selections written by famous people whom they admire: Rebecca St. James, Jennifer Knapp, Kathy Tricoli, Twila Paris, Joni Eareckson Tada, Lisa Beamer, and others.
It's an excellent gift for any teen girl who wants to know how to cope with issues about body image, dating, friendships, eating disorders, modesty, or purity.

Great price too!

Brian is a true poet! The reflection of his life and his emotions evolved throughout the entire book. I look forward to more!

This compilation of essays is accessible for the non-scholar and covers a wide range of topics related to beauty and aesthetics. It touches on both traditional aesthetics and more inclusive aesthetic systems, and the various authors draw on everything from biology to popular culture. The approaches encourage us to think about our visual environment and the arts in new ways and remind us of how important, in today's world, are a fluency with the languages of beauty and imagery.

Karen O'Connor has written over 50 books, including Squeeze The Moment and Help Lord! I'm Having A Senior Moment, both of which focus on aspects of aging. Having been born in 1938, she is living what she advocates to other senior moment individuals, and I happen to be one of them, edging towards the 62 mark this year.

Mrs. O'Connor has divided this book into seven sections of Faith, Family, Friends, Food, Fitness, Finances, and Fun. Each of these subjects she supports with six clarifying explanations, ending with how to put them into perspective with grace, gratitude, and grit. She identifies the above as better ways to face the aging process as God intended, rather than as a grimalkin, grouch, or greenhorn (these three are my take). Obviously, the author has experienced much in her 69 years to grant her the wisdom and wit she pens in her gracious understanding of growing older.

Such subtopics as "Row, Row, Row Your Own Boat," "Oxygen for the Soul," "Just Desserts," "Stay-at-Home Vacations," "Daffodilly," and "The Good New Days," should give readers over 50 an avid interest in opening this book and perusing it for a deeper understanding of where they are as senior citizens and where they hope to be.

The author has set the scene for an easier transition to accepting what God has had in mind for us all along--to be grizzled, gracious, and groovy in our process of aging, despite the hype for everlasting youth. - Sharon I. Rideout, Christian Book Previews.com

this is a great history of the use of photography with and thru science.

This book is like eye candy for anyone interested in agates, geology, lapidary and jewelry making. I purchased a copy directly from the author off ebay, and he was even kind enough to sign it. If you can afford it, invest in the hardcover...I have always wanted to photograph and document my rock collection...this book gives me continuing inspiration to collect. I would also recommend it to anyone who wishes to better understand what agates are all about, and what makes particular ones so valuable. You will be hard pressed to find a more beautiful collection of photography on the subject.

I love to travel, both physically and mentally. This book is the ultimate scenic route through Britain. I've walked down some of those lanes and stood in front of some of those old town buildings. I've shopped in some of those quaint little old shops and I've stood on some of those cliffs and looked out over the English Channel.

I use this book now mainly as a reference for sketching, but also as a reminder of all those ancient and beautiful corners of England's green and pleasant land.

I cannot recommend this visually overwhelming resource highly enough!
