Anderson Books

This is a really cute book for small children. I read it to the children I babysit and they just loved it. They especially liked the pictures, and I reccomend this book. It really holds children's attention!

Turkey Pox is not your average Thanksgiving story. It's about a girl named Charity who gets the Chicken Pox on Thanksgiving. Her family has to cancel their trip to Nana's for Thanksgiving dinner, so Nana brings Thanksgiving dinner to them. There are many funny parts in this story, especially when we learned about what turkey pox were! The pictures help make the story hilarious. We think kids would love reading this book because all kids get the chicken pox. We think the author and illustrator worked very hard to come up with a creative story.

A beautiful book....written with love and tribute from a son to a father...a father who taught him honesty, hard work....and showed him, by example, in his own unique way, how to be a man.....A beautifully, beautifully written book.....

A sweet, honest tribute to the author's father and filled with pearls of wisdom for living today. It brought me to laughter and to tears and gave me new perspectives in parenting my children from a Christian perspective. Must reading!

Walt Anderson is a fantastic writer. And Esalen is such an amazing place that this is a must read for anyone who is interested in the birth of the human potential movement in America.

The stories of Michael Murphy, Dick Price, and the early days are inspiring, thrilling, and a testament to the power of a few to change the consciousness of a generation.

This too little known book deserves to be on everyone's bookshelf. Walter Truett Anderson is a great raconteur of the highest caliber. And the story there is to tell! The only wonder is why this hasn't been made into a movie...the stories are sooooo interesting and the cast of characters in the first chapter alone would make the book worthy of attention...from Joan Baez and Hunter Thompson (one can only imagine what he was like as "security guard/caretaker") to gay bathers, Hell's Angels and Big Sur's bohemian artistes like Henry Miller...what a time.

This book seems like a worthy memoir of it all. A sort of collective Big Chill for the rest of us.

Use this Book for work, day care, School, and more. Show your creativity, impress everyone with your holiday spirit. This book is paired perfectly with Valentine School Parties.

What a book to keep romance in the air for any age and let the young children have fun in sharing valentines! We always want to be creative with what they put their valentines in. This book has so many suggestions for boys and girls. We encorporated these for our valentine parties and for cards in general- such as birthday card holders. Suggestion: Purchase the complete set.

This book contains papers from several authors from different countries. They all explain the problems with the World Trade Organization, how it is essentially run by powerful companies interested in making a profit off the farmers of the third world. The best thing about this book is that it offers different perspectives, different solutions to the same problems. Everyone should read it because it is an excellent book and it covers topics that most of us are ignorant of, while the 75% of the world's population who are farmers are affected by the policies and injustice of this organization every day.

I had always wondered the strong cause that ordinary people felt whent hey demonstrated/ got injured and even died during the WTO conferences in Seattle, Italy and New York. That led me to this book, which contains research papers from 4-5 authors, mainly from the 3rd world.

I found it amazing to note how the Transnational Corporations (TNC) of the first-world, browbeat the third world in guise of opening up to competition from outside. Some important points:
- How gloabalization is changing the world's food patterns
- How huge corporations like Monsanto and Cargill have created huge monopolies, whereby they could hold the world population to ransom, a.k.a. the OPEC countries (who individually hardly yield as much power though).
- How in the guise of Intellectual Property Rights, huge corporations patent herbs, plants and crop types, which otherwise have been used in the third world for several hundreds of years.
- How lending institutions like IMF, WB control the destiny of so many poor nations in the world.
- How TNC-led globalization (and thereby greed) has supported tyranny and dictatoships in Africa and South America, and has resulted in the dealths of hundreds of thousands of people over several years.
- How many of the WTO countries, are so poor that they can't even afford to send their diplomats to discuss WTO issues. Also, they don't possess the legal talent by themselves, or hire talent from outside to fight for their cause. Several times they put signatures on documents, not knowing how exactly it would impact them.
- Perhaps the biggest fraud perpetrated by the first world is in the way resolutions are adopted "by consensus" - and NEVER put to vote. The first world has resources and techniques of setting up several working teams which discuss issues with the top 15-20 countries in the world, arrive at a conclusion, and present "the consensus".
- Also, important is the role of leading countries of the third world, like India, South Africa, Malaysia etc., who refused to be beated into submission. This, of course results in a lot of flak in the West-controlled press and television.
- How, even within any first world country, there is a north side and south side, where workers keep losing jobs to globalization. How this has resulted in falling incomes and standard sof living.
- I also agree to a large extent the conclusion reached by the books authors - that the almighty dollar should not drive globalization, but the culture, and life-styles of various countries should also play a huge part in determining global trade policies.

This book is a must read for any young athlete and their parents. My 12 year old daughter has a love for the game of basketball, but has had a few stumbling blocks along the way. After meeting Alex and reading his book she had an "Assessment" and has a changed view on the importance of athletics, in general. Most importantly, you have to be happy with yourself and what you do. She also realized it takes a whole lot of "baby steps" during the journey. You can't do it in one giant step! Thank you Alex for teaching her this.

Meach was always a crowd favorite, and this book gives a great insite into the life of a NCAA basketball player. No "stop the presses" type scandals, just an inspiring story of a young man living out his dream. It's an easy read (I read it in a day), and have bought it as a gift for others! To sum it up in one word....enjoyable!

Walls of Light are the murals which cover 3,000 square feet of cinder-block walls in the Ocean Springs, MS Community Center. Walter Anderson saw the walls as a way that he could contribute to society and so he offered to create a mural for the fee of $1. The city provided oil paint and Anderson used it directly on the stucco surface of the block walls.
If you haven't visited Ocean Springs, you should. It's wonderful and the murals, as well as the town, will capitvate you.

Walter Inglis Anderson was that rarest of humans, a true visionary, so much so that the word "vision" weakly captures the fiery luminescence of his drawings, watercolors, and paintings. The works photographed and discussed in this book are perfect examples. Largely unheralded in his lifetime and for many years after his death in 1965, Anderson's work deserves more caring and careful studies like this. Co-published by the University Press of Mississippi and the Walter Anderson Museum of Art, this book presents astounding photographs as well as insightful commentary on the murals Anderson painted on rolls and sheets of paper as well as on the walls of the Ocean Springs Community Center and his cottage near Shearwater Pottery in Ocean Springs. This book is a must for all lovers of the ineffable, mystical qualities of seeing.

At seventeen Jack leads a rifle squad and, later, a rifle platoon in some of the worst figting in the Southwest Pacific Area. You will marvel at extra ordinary events. You will experience his grief as comrades and companions are wounded, killed and lost to the Japanese, Korean and Chinese enemy.
Then you will rejoice with him in his successes, in the deep friendships that come his way; and for a loving, praying girl he marries, and a Savior he knows. His brief stay as a POW to the Chinese will wrench your heart.

Jack was my battalion S-2 sergeant. His narrative of events describe the frustration & problems faced by units poorly prepared for fighting an enemy we couldn''t understand. It's a must read for the untrained as well as the professional soldier.

I read this book and absolutely loved it. I have also heard from hundreds of people who went to see him live, and he must be a great man. wish I could meet him.

It is very well written and keeps the readers interest. It was a hard book to put down. He helps to answer a lot of questions. I especially like to read about the actual "readings". I would love to meet him and have an actual reading with him. I am currently looking for other titles they may have written since 1996.

The biggest complaint that my daughter had when she started to read chapter books was that the stories had no substance, they were dull and boring. When we found these Cobblestreet Cousins books it was the best thing that could have happened. My daughter enjoyed these books the first time and many, many times since. She connected with the characters and loves their delightful surroundings. Now she is reading books that are more challenging but still visits these for fun. If you have a little girl who is having trouble connecting with many of the beginning chapter books, try these! We have given them as gifts to many of her very best friends! I only wish that a boxed set was available.

My six year-old daughter loves this series and this new Cobble Street Cousins book was so enjoyable for her. The distinct and unique personalities of Lily, Tess, and Rosie are so intriguing to my child and these girls and the adult characters in this series are such wonderful role models for little girls. My daughter carefully studies the details of the beautiful illustrations, and talks about Lily, Tess, and Rosie as if they are her friends.
