Since Amazon didn't post an editorial review, here's the description from the back of the book to help you decide if this book is for you: "The wild and wonderous novel of the glory days of sailing ships -- of Cleo Penhallow, a tantalizing beauty who is all things to all men and more ... Cleo propped herself up on her elbows and studied Mark's slim body. She reached over and playfully unbuttoned his trouser front. He didn't move, instead he closed his eyes and smiled. She quickly stripped off her undergarment and like a mountain wildcat she pounced upon him, her warm breath exciting him all the more ... There is a sub-plot of murder as we follow the sailing routes around the world during the gold rush and tea trade era, before the advent of steamships."

Anyone who wants to understand how the jury verdicts on OJ or the Menedez brothers will get the info in this book. Once the jury is selected, the conclusion almost happens without bothering with the facts. If your lawyer doesn't know this, hope the other lawyer doesn't either.

Having received this book personally from Charlemae Rollins when I was 4 or 5 years old, I have treasured the stories, poems, and recipes for as long as I can remember. Through her stories, recipes, and first person narrative Ms. Rollins provides us all with a glimpse of the significance of the Christmas season to our slave ancestors, and the tiny bit of joy they were able to enjoy each year, if only for a short time. More contemporary stories and poems helped round out the happiness and pain of the holiday season as experienced in the African American community. For my part, my favorite story (for the past 40 years) is "How Come Christmas," a folk tale that beautifully integrates the presence of Santa into the birth of Christ in a way that makes perfect sense to children, and is charming to adults.

Thank goodness this book is still available! If you are interested in Christmas stories, traditions, food, etc. it is a MUST READ. Additionally, it adds an important dimension to American History and traditions from an African American perspective.

Dr. Key's book, "The Clam Plate Orgy" is another astonishing realization that there really is no more powerful entity than the ad agencies. In "The Clam Plate Orgy", the average reader will find that Dr. Wilson Key has dumbed his theories down a bit, thus making the book a pleasure to read. Much more understandable than "Subliminal Seduction". Keep your mind open when reading this. Don't deny your eyes, for what they see is real.

This is a great reference. It has good charts and lots of wonderful pictures. We use it in our veterinary diagnostic bacteriology lab. It may help some, but not a lot, if you are looking for diseases from a veterinarian's point of view. If you need to isolate and identify bacteria this book is indispensable. It is the best lab reference available for veterinary bacteriology. No lab should be without it.

Code red was well reshearched and provides insight on issues and information every american family should be aware of relating to the security of the nation and their own safety.

This is the best set of information on coma that I have found.

If you like comic books read this magazine. It gives you an in depth look at story lines.

Dowd and Feldman present a careful analysis of the current state of medicare funding and propose a creative solution that will prevent the collapse of the system that has been predicted by so many. This book is essential reading for anyone who is concerned about the current crisis in medical care costs for retirees, both present and future.

A lovely ramble with a fascinating old gentleman, quaint, charming, sunny and a true picture of one aspect of a bygone age and of the way our great-great grandfathers talked and lived. The fishing lore and natural history are hopelessly out of date but who cares? Has been in print for centuries and deservedly so.
