Buzz the bee looked like a bee, flew like a bee, but he was missing the buzzzzz like a bee. He had a melodious hmmmmm instead of the uniform buzzzzz like all of the other bees. Buzz wanted to be normal, he wanted to be just like everyone else so he set out to look for his buzzzzz.

Along his journey Buzz spoke with his friend the ant, flew into a turtle named Slow Wilbert and rescued a young lady bee from a mean old spider that planned on having her for lunch. Instantly Floris knew that Buzz was different and she liked that he was unique. Buzz had finally found his buzz, it was inside of him all along.

The moral of this story: It is ok to be different.

Buzz's Journey by Ryan Green and Illustrated by T. Bell is the cutest childrens book I have ever read! The story line was adorable, and easily understandable for children. It also teaches children that it is ok to be different. The illustrations were a perfect addition filled with vibrant colors sure to keep their attention. I reviewed Buzz's Journey while my son was sleeping but tomorrow at bedtime this is the book I will read to him; and many nights after. 5 Hearts

But it's worth it.
Charming!

This is the best book on the subject I've had the pleasure to use. It is a careful and complete explanation of complex orbital/rotational experiences. I have two niggling complaints. First, although the discussion of the lunar Saros cycles is as complete as I have ever found, I wanted analysis of the eclipse patterns "on the ground," so to speak. Eclipses do not occur in isolation, but in seasons about six months apart. Each season is comprised of two eclipses (sometimes three), each lunar eclipse in a season paired with a solar eclipse two weeks (half a lunation) before or after. Thus for me the Canon, although superb, only addresses the half the eclipse seasons for 4500 years. This is exceedingly frustrating, because the solar eclipse tabulations available do not cover nearly the span of recorded history, as does the Canon of Lunar Eclipses.

This is the most complete catalog of eclipses ever to be published. Excellent presentation of information is given for every lunar eclipse durig the book's time span. This outstanding work will be unmatched for ever!

I found Law, by Sheri Bell-Rehwoldt to be an excellent resource for students who are considering a career in the legal field. The author does a remarkable job of accurately depicting the demands and responsibilities of a lawyer, as well as the steps a student needs to take to matriculate in law school. In addition, the author offers the reader a wide range of alternative career choices, including those of a paralegal, a court reporter, a law librarian or a mediator. As a teacher, I found these sections on various career options to be especially helpful, given that not every student has the interest and/or aptitude to become a lawyer. Each profession is described in a knowledgeable and concise manner, making it easy for student to obtain needed information. Law is an excellent, well-written resource book and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is considering a career in the legal field.

This career guide does a good job encouraging high school students to think about law as a potential career field. The author has highlighted six possible choices, including paralegal, lawyer, judge, court reporter, law librarian, and mediator. Students can learn which high school classes can help them prepare for one of these careers, and learn about the advanced training and/or formal schooling they will need. I was surprised to learn that not all states require lawyers to go through formal schooling! I was also suprised to find that law librarians work in many different environmments and do many types of tasks, and that mediators can make a really good living helping people to settle their disputes outside of court--and they don't need a law degree to do so.

I am the author of this book! And I must call attention to a cyber-error. Somewhere in your system a glitch has occurred! My last name is "Bell-Villada" and not "Velland-Bell"! Please correct this unconscionable clerical error at your earliest convenience.

First and foremost, this is a political novel. Of course, there is a sense in which any novel is a political novel, in that it reflects to some degree the social and political situation in which it was produced. But THE CARLOS CHADWICK MYSTERY is political in the sense that it seeks to examine predominant American political attitudes in a fictional context. Subtract the political elements from this novel, and you are left with no novel at all. Although a common genre in Europe and Latin America, it is comparatively rare in the United States and Britain, much to the impoverishment of our literature.

The novel tells the story of how Charlie Chadwick, born, raised, and educated in Venezuela by an American father and Venezuelan mother, attends his father's alma mater, the exclusive, elitist Richards College, and is transformed from a lightly political individual to a passionate leftist and possible terrorist who insists on being called Carlos. The text consists of three main sections: an account of his life by a very slightly to the left mainstream print journalist, a self-absorbed memoir by Carlos's bright but not-very-profound ex-girlfriend, and a highly political play written by Carlos. The narrative is situated roughly in the very late 1960s early 1970s, but in a somewhat alternative universe than the one that we remember. For instance, the primary American military intervention is in Peru, and the student protest in the book revolves around this rather than Vietnam. This has the effect of forcing us to reconsider the issues in a slightly different context, an alternative history more effectively exposing the inner logic of actual history. Anyone objecting that the U.S. would never invade or bomb Peru needs to look a bit more deeply at the depth of prior American involvement in Latin America and should recall that in the 1980s we actually did invade Latin American countries on more than one occasion.

The novel contains a wealth of provocative and interesting ideas, and anyone willing to take the book on its own terms will undoubtedly find it a fascinating read. One seeking a mere narrative might look elsewhere. The ideas in the first two sections of the novel are more subdued than in the final section, and consist primarily in the political naiveté of the journalist and the former girlfriend. In fact, although the novel is subtitled "A Novel of College Life and Political Terror," I could not keep from thinking that the real issue was not terror but naiveté. For instance, both fail to perceive the deeply entrenched ideology permeating liberal capitalist society ("liberal" I mean in the broad nonpartisan sense of the broad consensus that informs all of American life; by this standard Ronald Reagan is a paradigmatic liberal). The girlfriend writes, "I believe strongly in America's system of pragmatic, nonideological problem solving," a sentence that that embraces more than one naiveté. It is in the final section of the book, "Perspective Industries, LTD.," that the political issues are raised most sharply. In reading this section, I kept being reminded of Guy Debord and his SOCIETY OF THE SPECTACLE. I do not know that there is a direct connection, but many of the ideas there had parallels in Debord and other French thinkers and writers from the late 1960s. The content is too rich and the space here too limited to do more than say that in this section the sophism inherent in capitalism is brought to the fore. We speak lightly sometimes of the "marketplace of ideas," but here the "market" aspect is taken more strictly than usual. The argument is that there is a relativism deeply inherent in capitalism that most do not chose to see.

There is a very real sense in which the mystery that is Carlos Chadwick is never resolved. He becomes a leftist during a year spent studying in Paris, but also after a painful break up with his girlfriend and a period of time in which he is ostracized by schoolmates for speaking out against the sexual harassment of several women by a group of men. Carlos's conversion to the left is rapid and dramatic and extreme, but one suspects that there is both an intellectual and emotional component to this. His ideas are well thought out and insightful, but one wonders what role his interpersonal experiences played in all this. That they played some role seems obvious from things he says to his ex-girlfriend upon his return to college after his year in France. But the other mystery is the mystery that Carlos is to the journalist and the former girlfriend due to the sharply delimited nature of their worldview. In the end, I found Carlos's ideas quite congenial, but it didn't keep me from wondering what alchemy of emotional need and intellectual deliberation resulted in his political conversion.

I highly recommend this so anyone who enjoys reading novels of ideas or political discussion. It is especially relevant today in the first decade of the new century, when a corporate-owned media whose independence is sharply delimited by the values and economic needs of its investors is absurdly taken as "liberal," and on top of that not recognizing that being liberal and being leftist are hardly equivalent. In this regard, the novel speaks to today's issues perhaps even more sharply than when he was first published.

This is THE book for everybody using CCDs for diy projects. Although the camera itself can not be build anymore without being very lucky in finding a way to get all parts, it is still very revealing about how to actually build a camera and design the circuits. A real classic!

The authors take you through step by step of how CCD's work. Then how to build your own. I loved it and built my own camera from the book. It is really easy if I can do anyone can.

This is an excellent cookbook, with recipes from interesting people, and it raises money for the AG Bell Association. That's a great combination.

The Ceratopsia is not only the most endepth book written on the horned Dinosaurs, it is also an opportunity to read a book written by the historical figures that discovered and studied these great animals. This book is based on preliminary studies by Othnial C. Marsh, a legend in the field of paleontology. The book starts out with a brief biography of the author and then a short history of the Ceratopsia. From there the book goes into intricate detail of the anatomy of the Ceratopsians discovered as of 1907. This book also contains beautifully drawn monographs that cover every part of the skeleton. If for no other reason I would recommend the book for the monographs alone. If you are a true Dinosaur enthusiast who likes very technical books, this is a book for you. If you are not, you may find this book a little difficult to get through. Another excellent book on Ceratopsians that I recommend is the Horned Dinosaurs by Peter Dodson. It is also a highly technical book covering the Ceratopsians discussed in the Ceratopsia, plus the Ceratopsians discovered since then.

The Ceratopsia is one of the classic works of paleontology. Although it is over 90 years old, it still stands as the supreme reference on horned dinosaur anatomy. Highlights include a thorough description of every ceratopsid specimen known until 1907--this includes Triceratops, Monoclonius and Torosaurus. The illustrations alone are worth the price of the book. The fold-out lithographs illustrate the specimens better than any photograph ever could. They are true works of art. In my opinion, no reference before or since has come close to the descriptions, illustrations and usefullness of Hatcher's Ceratopsia.

He has done it again. Another great installment of the Kit Shannon trials. Like previous books, I just could not put this book down. I grew up reading Agatha Christie and thought I could never be as entertained when it came to "whodunits". Mr. Bell weaves a great tale and you almost feel like your back in Los Angeles at the turn of the century. Only one thing in my mind could top this. A T.V. series based on Kit Shannon. In this day of ridiculous reality series, I feel this would make a great series. I sincerely hope this will not be the last I read of Kit Shannon.

A Certain Truth
James Scott Bell
Bethany House, June 2004, $12.99, 300 pp.
ISBN: 0764226479

They met in 1903 and now almost four years later they are married. However, Los Angeles based attorney Kit Shannon Fox delayed their honeymoon with her husband Ted while she worked a court case. Ted seems accepting that Kit is in demand as a lawyer and that she puts in lots of time and passion in defense of her clients.

On the cruise ship heading back to California, Captain Raleigh detains passenger Wanda Boswell for murdering her spouse Chilton whose body was found in their cabin. Wanda retains Kit as her attorney, but on the high sea there is no judge to rule on objections so the captain makes all "legal" decisions; Raleigh bides time until they dock where the police can take over. Though she has doubts about her client's innocence as Wanda had the motive (public fighting), means and opportunity, Kit disagrees with the Captain as she believes that if her client is innocent, the real killer would be free by then. Kit makes inquiries as a frustrated Ted concludes that her practice is more important than he will ever be.

A CERTAIN TRUTH is a superb historical thriller tale starring a wonderful protagonist who defies the role of women in the first decade of the twentieth century. Through powerful characterizations, especially the newlyweds, fans obtain a terrific panoramic look at the era that emphasizes "we've come along way, baby". James Scott Bell provides a winner that will send readers like this reviewer scrambling for Kit's previous appearances (see A GREATER GLORY and A HIGHER JUSTICE) as well as his other works.

But with the ending of the first book, I don't imagine you could resist. I couldn't. I searched for years before I finally acquired my copy of this book, and it was well worth the wait! Belle manages to follow up The Moon in the Water with a sequel that is just as good of a read as its predecessor. The history and the plot were just as captivating for me as the first book, and, of course, there's the same cast of wonderful characters -- plus a few more you meet along the way. She stays very true to her characters and follows through with a satisfying and endearing conclusion to this part of the story. At times I missed the appearance of Frances Heron, but the book kept my attention anyway. I stayed up all night reading this one -- I really couldn't put it down.

"The Chains of Fate" is a most worthy sequel to "The Moon in the Water." Rarely do I read a sequel that is as good or better than the first book. "The Chains of Fate" was awesome. I first read this book 17 years ago. I bet I have read and re-read this trilogy by Ms. Belle a hundred times. In fact my sister and I discussed reading the trilogy this summer along with all of our friends who have also read them. If you love English History, and an inveigling tale, then read this book and trilogy. Ms. Belle is truly a great wordsmith.
