Anderson Books

My other book, Over Water Construction Using Falsework, might sell better if shown with Underwater Construction Using Cofferdams.
Harold V. Anderson, Author of both.

This is subject matter not required or found everywhere. It is good that it so completely addresses such a narrow subject. It was an easy read for one involved with this type of work, and provides up to date methodology.

Harold Anderson, who received the prestigious Golden Beaver Award for Engineering, has done it again. This book contains technical data for design, as well as, practical suggestions,and wisdom, based on the real life experiences of one of the industry's leading engineers. This book should be required reading for all Civil Engineers, and contractors that design and build bridges, wharfs, and/or docks & piers. Of all the books and journals on cofferdam construction, this one is by far the best.

As an author of a cofferdam tutorial and long time designer and builder of cofferdams I am impressed with the research and obersations presented by Mr. Anderson. I learned a few new points. This book presents the details of design considerations and includes practical construction instructions. These procedures are then augmented with a discussion on problems and failures that have been encounterd and the solutions for avoiding or correcting the problems. This is by far the best work I have seen on this subject, comprehensive and to the point. It is a must have manual for anyone who designs and/or builds cofferdams.

I have had the pleasure to have worked with Harold Anderson throughout my professional career and am very please to see the transfer of his years of experience with marine cofferdams to fellow engineers by way of his book.

The reader will find the book to be a practical hands-on tool. Harold takes the reader through the history and failures, points out many of the pitfalls to be avoided, and has included numerical examples which can be used as design guides. I highly recommend this book to students, professionals, and marine contractors alike.

I truly enjoyed this book. It helped me to better understand myself and my faith in the Lord. Bravo!

THIS BOOK MAKES YOU STEP BACK AND REALLY LOOK AT YOURSELF. IT HELP ME TO MAKE SOME CHANGES ABOUT THE WAY I EXPRESS MYSELF IN EVERY DAY LIFE.

Excellent reading the book is truly encouraging, easy to understand and gives useful instruction on how to operate in faith. I was able to apply many of the principles immediately and highly reccommend this book it is wonderful!

THIS IS THE MOST INSPIRING BOOK I HAVE READ. IT HELPED ME TO TAKE A LOOK AT LIFE AS A WHOLE. READ THE BOOK.

This book is a must read book for any one who is seeking to have a closer walk with God. It's written in clear everyday language, so that you may understand what is being said. The Bible says that without faith, it's impossible to please God. So if pleasing God is what you are desiring to do, this book will help you to do just that. You will find many words of encouragement along with words of wisdom. And you will be able to get a better understanding of what faith is, and how to effectively walk in it. Utilizing Now Faith, shows us how to utilize the power that we have within, to live a more prosperous, easier, God ordained life.

My sister sent me this book for my birthday and it is the nicest gift I've received. And the cover art is a dead ringer for my best friend! I am currently on disability following a nervous breakdown, and this book has given me great comfort. Simple, pleasant and thoughtful reading. It truly is a book of meditations for cat lovers. Please ... buy this book and/or send it to anyone who could use some spiritual and humorous relief.

I enjoyed this book very much! It's filled with lots of sweet short stores, both touching and funny, that you can read and chew on all day. If you like cats you'll love this book!

Being a cat-lover and having read many books about cats, it was with great delight that I read this absolutely different piece of reading!! The idea of transfering experiences with cats to human beings transforms every story into a trip to our most intimate feelings... It is one of the most beautiful books I`ve ever read! I wish I could publish it here in Brazil... Many Brazilian cat-lovers who don`t know English would be able to enjoy it too... Thank you for the wonderful moments I had.

This book is a real gem for a cat lover. It is gentle, and does bring an occasional tear to ones eyes. It's full of the incredible healing nature of cats. It acknowledges that the cat is a mysterious, loyal creature and is full of purrfect sayings. This is a treasure, I read before bed. Snuggling with my own felines. It is a warm place and a great book.
If you are feeling world worn its a good place to rest for awhile, reading about something you understand.

This is a great meditation book for cat lovers as well as for those who like to apply Bible verses to their life. You can read just one meditation per day, or read a lot, whatever you're in the mood for. I received it for my birthday and plan to buy one for another friend's birthday. Makes great gifts for cat lovers!

Here is a book that a vegetarian can love! The recipes are varied, the food delicious, and the diet nutritious. All of this is served up with lucidity and humor. A treat all around.

Vegetarian experts Poneman and Greene have written the perfect book for harried parents who want to do the right thing but dread the consequences... Well organized and written in entertaining prose, this book offers sound facts about the health benefits to kids of plant-based diets, citing such trustworthy sources as the American Council on Nutrition and the American Dietetic Association. Poneman and Green have humorous, practical, and insightful advice for wary parents. This is one smart guidebook, because it addresses the key topic on a parent's mind-how your child's decision is going to affect you-and offers the most practical advice to date about helping your kid make an effortless transition to a plant-based diet.

This book is full of simple facts on how to be a healthy vegetarian teen. It helped me understand how EASY it is to get all the protein and iron I need every day. I liked learning about all the famous athletes who are vegetarian. This book is also great because it's easy to read and important information is shown in simple charts and tables. After reading this book, I feel much more educated about my decision to give up meat.

Not only is this book a goldmine of great information and inspiration, it's light-hearted! There is no preaching here.

My husband and I have always thought about becoming vegetarian but have often wondered how to deal with our three children. This book has given me a great deal of insight. So, yesterday when my 8 year old said, "maybe I should become a vegetarian", I had the info I need to get started!

I especially love Debra's and Emily's humor woven throughout the book. I enjoyed "What, No Meat?!" from cover to cover. You may not be interested in becoming vegetarian and that's ok - this book is still worth a read. The recipes will make it easier to get to the five veggie servings per day that most of our kids are not getting.

Read it, you'll like it!

I started skimming this book and ended up reading right through it. It's entertaining and full of useful info. With a vegetarian teenage boy in the house, I wanted to make sure I had the whole "how to get enough protein" issue covered. I found plenty on that, and also on calcium and iron and other health issues. There are lots of recipes I want to try, especially for holiday meals, and there are good suggestions about eating out. I like what they say about how to handle the etiquette issues, like dealing with invitations to dinner parties, and how to avoid alienating friends and family. Over all, I think this is a really practical, helpful guide for parents of vegetarian kids-and also for anyone considering becoming a vegetarian!

This treasure features an effectively paraphased version of Psalm 27. Children are sure to love the comforting message and the beautiful illustrations. Buy the series.

This book is excellent!! We read it this weekend at a house we rented in Destin, FL - turns out it is the Anderson's rental property. We thoroughly enjoyed all (for children and adults) the books Joel Anderson wrote. I came home ready to add the children's books to our collection but many of the titles are not available. I guess I will keep looking!!

My boys and I have read the book about six times since last night. One of them went to bed with it. The illustrations depict the content of the text with such warmth. The message of God's caring hand comes across so well with the words being taken directly from a paraphrased Bible. What could be more comforting than this? Wonderful! I will be buying more of these books.

This book is beautifully illustrated and uses illustrations to explain Psalm 27 to children in a warm and positive way. Rather than "monsters under the bed" the hand of God is opened and shown to little ones in such a lovely way! My nieces and nephew are getting a copy and my 11 year old still enjoys it!

I love this book!! The illustrations are fantastic and the story (Psalms 27)is beautifully written in language that my child understands. I hope Joel Anderson writes more books!

I finished this over Thanksgiving. My mom flipped through it, as did several other family members, asking was it a dissertation. I did not think that it was, but discovered my error in the Acknowledgements. I have a special affection for scholarly works that are compelling reading. The genius of non-fiction is a story that would not be believable if made up.

Leslie documents every assertion, and includes transcripts of interviews and court proceedings so that there can be little question of context. The intermittent inclusion of belabored detail is a little odd to the casual reader, but there is often a gem in a table or list which helps transport the reader back over a 100 years (a list of schools in Augusta includes the only public one for blacks in the state - and that segregated, of course).

The story itself is stunning (grown plantation owner forcibly rapes 13 year old slave girl before her first period, "getting" upon her a b*stard half breed upon whom he dotes all his life and to whom he leaves all that he has, making her the richest "colored" woman in America), but aside from the drama which unfolds chronologically in such a way that without device one is compelled to keep reading, one is almost by the way exposed to an entire sub-culture of "people of color" whose character, enterprise, integrity, ability, and or good fortune prevailed against all odds to create a world of privilege, the survival of which depended in part upon being invisible to less affluent whites. One of them married the grandson of a signer of the Declaration of Independence!

Leslie presents the product of research of a phenomenon without mediated moralizing. Nor does the author speculate upon motive beyond presenting the range of possibilities. This volume belongs on your shelf next to Thurmond's Freedom, Meyer's The Children of Pride, and Reese's The Clamorous Malcontents, especially if you are a Georgian.

This is one book I will keep in my private library. Very good book with all the pictures. My mother has enjoying looking at it also.

I really enjoyed the beautiful pictures. I first read "The Trapp Family Singers" by Maria which was great but I wanted pictures and more info and this book was greatly enjoyed.I really liked it.

I had the opportuntiy to buy this book last fall when I saw the grandchildren of Maria Von Trapp in concert at the Dollywood theme park. Having read the account by Maria in her book "The story of the Trapp Family Singers" as a child I was fully aware that the movie and the real story were not identical, however the liberties of the movie version aside this book is a delight for anyone who loves the story and music of the Von Trapps. It gives you a first hand insight to what the family went through from the Natzi's to the building of their inn in Vermont to the rebuilding of it after it was destory by fire. The photography is superb and the history of this family is one I have enjoyed for years and will for years to come. I can hardly wait til next Christmas to add the Von Trapp Children CD to my holiday music enjoyment.

....because I find so many information about the Trapp Familiy which I don't know. I saw the two german movies from 1956 und 1958 and the american from 1965, and I like all this films.

The pictures make it easy to read.

But there is something, that I don't like. Martina, who died in 1951. Maria Augusta wrote only one and a half sentences about her stepdaughter. Why had she done that ?

Good, that I've read "Yesterday, Today and Forever", so I know the tragedy of Martina's death.

...

This book is a really great behind-the-scenes type book about the real Von Trapp family. Fans of the movie may not like it as much, because there isn't very much stuff written about the making of the SOM. However, it really gives you a very clear picture of the way the story reall was without detracting from the magic of the movie.

This was a great book I was not suprised by the shape of the used book. It was in great condition just as the seller said it was! I do think on all used books the price of shipping is high.

This is one of the most comprehensive and helpful books on puppy behavior and training I have read over the years. It touches upon all of the puppy traits that new owners have the most problems with, i.e. biting, jumping, acting like a maniac, etc. It explains what is normal and what is not for those of us who forget what a "normal" puppy acts like. Most training books are for all ages of dogs; this book is specifically for the puppy. The advice is great and easy to follow. The format and photographs are top quality. I have a new Boston Terrier puppy which is much different than my Golden Retriever. He's a rambunctious puppy, and this book has helped tremendously! I definitely recommend this as the number one book for all puppy owners. I don't normally write reviews, but this book was so amazing, I found that I had to.

Fabulous Book! Teoti Anderson provides common sense, easy to impliment, and effective suggestions that any owner (even those with busy schedules) can use. Every puppy owner should have this book in their home. She covers it all - Housetraining, chewing, barking, puppy biting and more. I will certainly recommend this book to puppy owners who come to our training school.

Written by Teoti Anderson (a professional dog trainer with eight years of experience), Your Outta Control Puppy is a solidly written, thoroughly "user friendly" instructional guide to training and control-ling common puppy misbehavior, and ranges from housebreaking a precocious pet, to curbing puppy tendencies to chew, bark, nip, bite, or jump up. Full-color photographs, straightforward instructions, numerous examples, and a wealth of sound advice distinguish this "owner manual" and confidently recommend it for anyone owning, or considering the ownership, of a puppy.

This is an excellent book for a person who just got his first dog. Small, easy language, encouraging. Very good advice. And easy to follow steps. I feel comfortable recommending it to all new puppy owners who come to our training school.

This is a charming and amusing mystery evoking the era of the old black and white British movies. It takes place in England during the 1930's and the Earl of Burford is hosting another zany, house party. The Earl of Burford is very house proud, or in this case country estate proud, so he is thrilled when he finds out someone wants to film a talking picture at his country estate starring one of his favorite movie heros. His wife, the Countess, isn't thrilled at all and on top of the film stars and film crew, she now has a long-lost cousin who arrives at the same time as the film people. Before long the country estate is overflowing with invited and uninvited guests. Then, inevitably, the house party leads to a murder, and Scotland Yard comes to solve the crime. This is the second Inspector Willkins case, and there are also some additional characters from James L. Anderson's first hilarious "The Affair of the Bloodstained Egg Cosy". Merryweather, the imperturbable family butler, Ins. Wilkins of the Westshire constabulary, Geraldine, the beautiful daughter of the Earl are all there to delight the reader.
My advice: unplug the phone, lock the door, and delve into this wonderful British caper.

Dear Mr. Anderson,

Please, sir, if we all ask very nicely, might you be persuaded to write more of these books? As with the Bloodstained Egg Cosy, this was pure delight, and I am sure I am not alone in wishing for more, more -- more!!

Once again, Lord Burford and his stately home, Alderly play a major role, this time because of the Earl's love for movies. He is especially fond of Rex Ransom, one of the talkies' first cowboy/action stars, and blithely offers Alderly as the setting for a proposed new movie about the English Civil War. The Countess is not quite so certain about all this, but would never bespeak her husband. Further, it provides their daughter, Lady Geraldine, the opportunity to invite her two most amorous, and possibly serious suitors, the Olympian track star, Paul Carter, and the rather Bohemian painter, Hugh Quartus, to come stay for a week or so.

The producer of the film company, Cyrus Haggermeir, is delighted at the prospect of such a visit, even if he does have to put up with the writer of the original screenplay, Arlington Gilbert. And here, he'd thought he could re-write at will. Then, of course, there are secretaries (the sly Maude Fry) involved, as well. And finally, a long-lost cousin of the Countess, Cecily Bradsaw (as was), now Everard, and her current husband, Sebastian, recently from Australia.

Well now, isn't this an interesting mix? And it is, too, but it gets far more interesting with the advent of the famous Italian actress, Laura Lorenzo, who has come to Alderly from London, because of a telegram she received from Cyrus-who doesn't recall having sent it. And finally, we have Miss Dove, Jemima, that is, who has been engaged to catalog the library, but gets her dates mixed up and arrives a week earlier than expected.

A blizzard, an auto that runs out of petrol, a stolen motorcycle (carefully separated from the side-car first, however), and a local talent show all combine to produce a murder. Thus we have not only the delightful Inspector Wilkins and his trusty Sergeant Leather to investigate, but -- (fanfare, please!) St. John Allgood of the Yard. One of the Three Great A's, the other two being John Appleby and Roderick Alleyn, no less!

Allgood is rather full of himself, and needs to be taken down a peg or so, and in spite of himself, Wilkins is just the man for the job. One after the other, Allgood makes a case for each of the inhabitants as first murderer, only to have the case crumble around him. Surprises tumble all over each other, presenting laughs galore before the final, final dénouement. Hardly anyone is quite who or what they seem, and my best advice is to not only read the book, but be sure to pay special attention to the prologue. Marvelous. More! More!

Takes place in England during the 1930's. It's the 2nd novel in the Inspector Wilkins series. The Earl of Burford has stars in his eyes when he finds out someone wants to film a talking picture at his country estate starring one of his favorite swash buckler heroes. His wife isn't thrilled at all and now a long-lost relative is arriving at the same time as the star and soon their home is inundated with invited and uninvited guests. Here we go again a house party that leads to the same extra curricular activities as the last one. But this time Inspector Wilkins boss wants Scotland Yard to help out.

The author as in his last title The Affair of the Bloodstained Egg Cozy just as masterfully weaves this mystery. I found myself following the leads closely to see if I could figure out whodunit before the end of the book, but I couldn't. I am honest in saying both Inspector Wilkins novels will go on my favorite mystery list.

The Case of the Mutilated Mink is a marvelous mystery that perfectly evokes the ambiance of the classic English country house mystery and at the same time spoofs it (with affectionate Wimsey, I mean wimsy). My only regret is that Mr. Anderson's corpus is not larger. I hope he's just getting warmed up!

In addition to writing his doctoral thesis on Santa, the author is a licensed psychologist, a professional storyteller and has worked as a Santa Claus for sixteen years. Also, some letters were gathered from US Post Offices. The collection is divided into five sections: What I Want for Christmas and Some Special Instructions; Wishes and Requests from the Heart; On Being Good, Appreciation and Affection; Odds and Ends; and, P.S. -- Just One More Thing. Some letters are reproduced and a few drawings are included. the letters are charming and a few are heartbreaking -- this is definitely a wonderful book about children's faith and hope. Part of the proceeds from the book are donated to Feed the Children. Buy this book! ho ho ho

This is the greatest book I have ever read. I wish there was other books like this. It help you to realize how fortuned we are with the little things we have. It is fun at the same time because you can see by this letters the great imagination the childrens have. IS A GREAT BOOK FOR ANY GIFT FOR ALL AGES. ...

A funny and caring book from childrens hearts. It reminds us all of the little child within. Great for all ages. See what kids really have to tell Santa!

this book is full of funny one page letters to santa, ranging of requests for everything from world peace to a red dragon. The letters are sweet and silly, that make you laugh out loud. So if you're in the mood for something to warm the heart and tickle the soul then this book is definitly for you!
