This small, but invaluable book surveys the academic male nude, in all its glory, from the early Victorian age to the early twentieth century. If you imagined that the male nude was taboo in a century of starched collars and frock coats, this collection of exquisite studies will come as a refreshing and entertaining surprise. The introduction is informative, but it is the range of finely observed drawings and sketches that steal the show. The works were selected from an annual exhibition of the male nude in London in the 1980s and fine art quality shines through in the reproductions. Though they were designed as academic exercises for the 'improvement' of students of fine art, this delightful bunch of drawings is surprisingly sensual in effect. This book will prove informative to the art historian and a visual treat for any fan of the male nude. The models were drawn from the finest specimens, including hunky soldiers, strapping labourers and muscular youths, all willing to drop their clothes to earn a crust. In case you are wondering, the good news is that even in Victorian times, many models were drawn fully nude and we can enjoy an uninhibited view of several of the model's finely turned anatomy in all its glory! As a student and fan of the male nude, I can thoroughly recommend this book. I promise you will cherish it, if you go weak at the knees at the thoughts of a strapping young hunks stripped bare and studied with loving devotion.

Kelly loves children, Kelly knows writing, and it shows in her latest work. The craft ideas featured here are creative, and the wording of the book will appeal to younger children. It'd be a good idea to jump on this book now, as I genuinely believe Kelly Milner Halls is going to end up being nationally recognized as one of the most gifted children's authors around.

Can a growing believer need recovery?

Boyd Luter knew his relationship with his father had been less than ideal. But as a Christian leader, former pastor, and seminary professor, he assumed the best way to lead a productive Christian life was to put the past behind him.

Then a series of pressing circumstances forced him to look at his past. Suddenly he began to realize just how much his troubled relationship with his father had been afecting his health, family life, and ministry over the years.

Although he'd always wrestled with the concept of recovery, he now found himself wondering if recovery was in fact a legitimate, biblically sanctioned process. So, armed on the one hand with some long-held personal reservations, yet admitting a definite need on the other, this well-studied Bible scholar set out to determine whether recovery was indeed scriptually sound. What he discovered surprised even himself.

Defining recovery as "the comeback process from an unhealthy event, relationship, or behavioral pattern that continues to negatively impact a person's life," Looking Back, Moving On clearly illustrates:

- Why forgetting what lies behind doesn't mean ignoring bad memories, or pretending those events never happened.

_ How recovery plays an important part of the sanctification process

- The need for spiritually mature believers to consider issues of personal recovery

- How to biblically evaluate the various approaches to recovery

- The value of a "time-block" approach to counseling as opposed to months of weekly, hour-long sessions

This charming book offers kids a great story framed by vivid artwork. Boys especially will love the low-rider theme. It's a fun read no matter how many times through!

My kids loved this book and so did I. Lots of adventure, some history and good lessons about the dynamics of friendship and what greed can do. I'm thrilled that my kids enjoyed this book so much, and it was able to pull them away from television and into another, more engaging world.

I use this book in elementary classrooms as an anticipatory set for thinking about patterns before we make a math pattern game. It works as well with 6th gradeers as it does with 3rd graders. They begin to look at their surroundings using a different paradigm!

When she was 32, Boyd inherited millions in 1920, but became bored with a life of leisure and decided to achieve her dream of becoming an Arctic explorer. A little over a hundred pages of detail provides middle school grade levels with insights on her life and her many explorations.
