Anderson Books

Very inspirational. Very well written. I read it all, and ordered several copies to give as gifts.

A friend who didn't have time to read this work of art asked me if I would care to.

From the first page to the last, I was help spellbound by the simple inspirational messages of the author.

By taking everyday scenarios and blending them with age old truths Mac Anderson has created another success to his credit.

Everyone who is looking for an inspirational, easy reading, motivational book should read "The Nature of Success", I know I will keep it handy and refer back to it often.

If you only read one book this month, or only have one hour all year, this is a "Must Read"

This book is fabulous. The way nature is captured is wonderful. It really makes you appreciate nature and feel like you could just reach out and touch it. Great job and look forward to more. I would highly recommend this book to others!

This is a beautifully-photographed book. The images of nature are the best I have ever seen. Composition and detail were carefully done. I especially enjoyed the photos of the flowers. I would recommend this book to all who love nature and photography.

I was at the library the other day looking for craft ideas when I stumbled across a book entitled Nature Smart. The cover of the book showed eight really neat projects that appeared to be earth friendly, with some even utilizing recycled materials. I checked it out immediately and eagerly awaited a chance to read through it. After getting the little ones settled down for the night, I opened up this book and was immediately impressed. This book provides parents and teachers with ideas for projects that will help children learn more about the world around them while giving them opportunities to be creative.

As a homeschooling mom, I'm always looking for projects to do with my children that will be fun for them as well as educational. Looking at the craft section at the local bookstore or library can be overwhelming! Too often I find crafts which are cute but don't really provide my children with the opportunity to learn something new. I strive to teach my children about Earth-friendly living, so I was happy to find project ideas that incorporated the use of recycled materials as well as items from nature such as leaves and twigs.

The authors of Nature Smart have compiled more than 150 nature and ecology inspired projects for children. Each craft description includes a list of items to gather in advance, easy to follow directions, and colorful images and diagrams that make the more difficult projects easier to understand. Most of activities in the book are also accompanied by background information on the topic which is a really great feature. For example, the pages that describe how to make a butterfly hatchery with your children includes diagrams of butterflies and moths and information about their life cycle. This content can be read by parents as a refresher before they begin a project with their child or it can be read independently by an older child. Of course, parents of non-readers could read aloud to their children in order to further their understanding of the topic.

Here are a few projects from the book that I plan to try with my children:




Rustic Wren House

Butterfly and Moth Hatchery

Seashell Wind Chime

Wild Flower Candles

Corn Husk Flowers

Bat House

Tin Can Marionette

Bean and Pasta Mosaic


This book is truly fantastic. Nature Smart is designed for school-aged children but many of the projects could be modified to meet the needs of preschoolers. This book is an excellent resource for the eco-conscious parent or teacher who is looking for nature-inspired activities to do with children. I highly recommend it.

This is an absolutely wonderful book. W have used it as part of our homeschooling curriculum. There are so many projects and all are reasonable to complete and to fund.

The emphasis on conservation is clear, and this shows more than anywhere in the way in which the projects are laid out. They do not require expensive tools or ingredients, and often use items found around the house. I am overly pleased with this book, and can not emphasize enough how much I think it teaches kids to respect the earth.

I would also recommend other books by Gwen Diehn. We have checked these out from the library and have been very pleased.

the material in this book is absolutely great. the concepts that are presented are something one wont get in college. the graphical user interface chapter, i think should have covered additional aspects like cohesion and coupling and good GUI practices in the software industry. the book is definitely a good buy even now ( though it is 2 years old)

This book covers a wide area of subjects related to Client/Server architecture, networks, architecture design, implementation guidelines, strategy, security... There is a good balance between theoretical and practical knowledge. Due to the extend of the subjects, it can not go in depth in all points, but it is definitely a very practical and usefull reference book, probably aimed at managers and consultors who want to update their knowledge or learn on specific network development. Price a bit step, but again there is a lot of information, and with Amazon discount, it makes it a good buy.

Authoritatively written by Dale L. Anderson (a medical doctor with over 40 years experience as a family physician) with the assistance of Arden Moore, Never Act Your Age is a "reader friendly" self-help guide to using upbeat emotions, method acting, and childlike feelings of wonder to enhance one's health and longevity. Presented with whimsy, wisdom, a wealth of easy-to-understand advice and practical suggestions, Never Act Your Age is an excellent and highly recommended instructional and advisory guide to emotional and spiritual rejuvenation for an improved mental well-being and physical wellness.

This book is a must read for folks who are looking for a way to make the most of every day. Dr. Anderson will have you in stitches with laughter and inspire you with terrific stories of Ageless Allies who never act their age. It's a great gift for anyone who needs a little guidance on how to get the fun back into life - no matter what age the calendar says you are!

This I the best book i have ever read! Its about a girl, named Marny, and her horse, Casanova. When Marny first found Cas he was a mean uncontrolable horse the was to be slaghtered. But Marny sticks up for him and together they do great things along with the help of Tibor Szechy A retiered horseman who moved to austrilia to forget his past. This is my altime favorite book.
If you like horses you'll love this book!

I read this book when I got it for Christmas last year. Since then, I've read it over and over again. It is great to read something so different from the typical horse stories for teens. This book touches on a different type of horse, rider, and trainer, as well as an intense type of training that I think we could all benefit from. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves reading about horses.

To look at and experience the island of St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands, who would know that such a tranquil place has such a violent history? This is an account of the slave rebellion of 1733-1734, a true story told in fiction form through the eyes of Dr. Cornelius Bodger. Denmark had claimed the island in the early part of the 18th century and dedicated it to the cultivation of crops, most notably sugar. But in 1733, a new breed of slave was brought to work the fields: not a breed born into slavery in Africa, but abducted African royalty instead, a proud race that refused to submit to a life of bondage and toil.Thus is it was that a rebellion was fomented by these enslaved African royals and their followers with the intention that the island be converted into their form of government and run under such auspices. For six bloody months, rebels squared off against planters, and a good deal of the island's population perished.Oddly enough, the rebellion didn't end on a bombastic note; it was quietly and in stages put down, and with the deaths of the rebel leaders, the island slowly returned to normalcy.After having read this book, should you visit St. John, you'll probably find it hard to believe that this pretty little island was once hell in paradise.

This book should be made of glass rather than paper. I read through this book and saw the lives, the greed, the desperation, and the joy of people long since dead. "Night of the Silent Drums" brings the history of the bloody 1733 St. Jan, Dansk Vestindia slave revolt to the present. The Virgin Islands' drought that year was the only thing dry about this book. And it succeeds without couching our preconceived notions of slavery or slaves, plantations or masters, by telling the truth as well as the facts. This work is gratefully and substantially more than ink on paper. When you pick up this one you will become more of a witness than a reader

This book is filled with wonderful Illustrations that tell a fun story. Great for kids.

The few children's books to be found on the subject of the northern lights are typically non-fiction, science-oriented treatments. Nightlight is about the inescapable feeling of awe and grandeur the aurora borealis evokes in us when we see it, especially for the first time. Two little bears awake to "discover" the northern lights while fireflies add sparkle to a magical night.

There are no talking animals here--just real, yet whimsical woodland creatures. Of course they see and enjoy the northern lights just as you and I do. The watercolors complement the story perfectly and make it all seem both real and special.

Besides being a lovely little story about the northern lights, this book has brief explanations of the natural phenomena of aurora borealis and fireflies at the end, plus, inside the jacket is a poster!

Melanie Anderson's "On the Run" is a definite must read!! It has everything a romance novel should; an intriguing story line, sexy love scenes, and characters who have amazing chemistry plus a witty dialogue. If you are a "stock car" racing fan and a reader of romance, then you definitely want to read this book!!

Melanie Anderson has busted onto the romance scene with a bang!! A fantastically written book by this first-time author and I anxiously await her next book!

A wonderful first book! Melanie Anderson tells a great story. The characters are likeable, and even the few you may not like, are "fun not to like." Kind of like tuning into "Dynasty" to watch the goings on of Alexis Carrington.

"On The Run" draws you in so that you just cannot put the book down (or in the case of this e-book, the computer! LOL)

With racing as the backdrop of this steamy romance, the ride never slows down.

A great book!

Move over Dan Brown and John Grissom, there is a new Sherrif in town!! I just finished reading The Order of the Beloved and loved this book. The author's writing style is new and fresh, creating the story on a chronological time line as though the narrator is just fact reporting. The main characters are created in such a way that the reader believes they are real people and you love them despite their weaknesses and faults. The author's creation of the Order and their personalities make you believe in the possibility of immortality. And the delicate weaving of organized religion into the story makes one wonder even after they have read the last page whether or not these ideas are all fiction or part factual. I look forward to reading more work by this new author and say "Keep Up the Great Work", as you have a reader here who can't wait for your next book.

I first heard about this book from a professor at school. He kept raving about how 'riveting' it was. He said it was a MUST read. So...I purchased "The Order of the Beloved" and 'riveting' is an under statement. This book is truly an "I couldn't put it down" novel. Made me really, really think, in a good way. Are the immortals really out there? Unbelievable work. This book won the editor's and publisher's choice awards, and I can see why. WOW!
