This book touches ones emotional and spiritual side. I couldn't put it down once I started reading. This book will also make you think about your own life and family.

Thank you Bryan for sharing a very personal and emotional time of your life with the world.

"To the Front and Back" is a must-read for anyone who
wants the perspective of the everyday soldier in time
of war. It's also a must-read for those seeking the
perspective of young men and women who volunteer for the armed
forces knowing they will go abroad to fight for the
freedom of others.

If you've read Elisha Hunt Rhodes' Civil War journal,
Tom Brokaw's "The Greatest Generation", or Stephen
Ambrose's "Citizen Soldiers", then you should add this
World War I memoir to your collection of perspectives
of foot soldiers who lived and breathed war day in
and day out. Grand histories of battles and wars are
one thing, but reading such close-in, first-hand
accounts helps us to understand how war and death and
occupation effect the thousands of "little people"
involved in the process.

When you read how the book was written (over a decade
after the end of the war, using his notes and
postcards), you'll appreciate that the level of detail
that McQuain remembered was the direct result of what
a searing experience the trauma of war was for him.
As is the case with many soldiers years and even
decades after the fact, McQuain was able to remember
the minutest detail with only a small reminder of the
facts. McQuain's daughter explains the process, and
(as Ken Burns did so well in the case of Elisha Hunt
Rhodes and others in "The Civil War" documentary)
tells the reader briefly about the rest of her
father's life and a bit about the family he raised.

The view of McQuain's life after the war is the one
known all too well by families of veterans. But too
often vets are reluctant to share with their families
the horrors they experienced abroad. "To the Front
and Back" will give the reader a new perspective on
that grandfather who wouldn't talk about his
experiences in World War I or World War II, or on
what's currently being experienced by a son, daughter,
husband, or wife who is currently in Iraq or
Afghanistan.

A great gift for the groom-to-be and the father of the bride. We laughed at "wrong" way to communicate and toasts. The ideas were presented in a fun and easy-to-enjoy format.

Those who are disappointed by the dregs of antebellum women's diaries predominating in publishing today will find plenty to make them happy here. This book is chatty, gossipy, quite frank and revealing, yet informative; in all, a true window into the lives of two sisters. I recommend it highly as a read, however; as a $45 purchase...go see if the library has it first. -Marianna

We gave this book as a gift. Ity was well received. The shipper and shipping time was excelalnt. Books arrived in excellant condition.

My two and a half year old son loves this book. I think I read it to him seven times just today. He has always been a dinosaur fan, but this book really brings the characters to life for him. He loves pointing out each dinosaur in each illustration and telling me their names. When we are not reading the book, he asks us to act out the roles of the dinos in the story. For some reason, I always get to be Tyrannosaurus Rex! I'm thrilled with the book because it is a fun story that also happens to offer factual information about the dinosaurs in it. It's been a great help to our discussion about which dinosaurs were herbivores and which were carnivores. Finally, the vocabulary is amazing, when I hear my son using words like "tantalize" and "serene" I know that the magic of reading aloud is working its wonders! Great book!

Even though it is titiled "Turbo C++", it is a great reference book for every C++ programmer. Materials are organized nicely. Details are presented in a concise and clear manner. Examples are very instructive. I highly recommend it.

I hate buying C++ books, because they never cover what I need. This book is the book that I learned C++ with, it jumps right into classes and all the important stuff. It provides readable examples and worthwhile tips. Unfortunatly I don't program using Turbo C++, but I was still able to find most of the content valuable.

Regarding this book title: U.S. Supreme Court and Medical Ethics: From Contraception to Managed Health Care (Paragon Issues in Philosophy) ....

An error has been made with the image of the book, [shown: (LIKE A MOVIE)] which lists an author other than the actual author of the book title referenced herein, and the Inside the Book descriptive details, as well as the actual inside the book content... all of which reference an entirely different book than the one that is titled on this page of additional details regarding this book title: U.S. Supreme Court and Medical Ethics: From Contraception to Managed Health Care (Paragon Issues in Philosophy)

Written by Bryan Hilliard (an assistant professor of philosophy who has taught courses in business ethics, criminal justice ethics, and medical ethics), The U.S. Supreme Court And Medical Ethics is a detailed discussion of legal cases and the legal system's current view on various medical human issues including contraception, confidentiality, suicide, religious objection to treatment, and much more. An explicitly worded account accessible to lay readers, medical profession workers and law students alike, The U.S. Supreme Court And Medical Ethics is an excellent reference, resource, or quick-consult guide for familiarizing oneself with rocky legal terrain. Very highly recommended

Who doesn't want a great skit every once in a while to drive the Bible point home to the hearts of teens? These parables that help students link each skit to everyday situations are a great addition to any lesson.
