As with all of Eleanor's books, this one will not disappoint! The instructions are superb and very easy to follow, even for a beginner. The illustrations take you step by step through the various projects and provide inspiration and ideas for other applications.

We live in the country and my two boys love taking this book with their dad and heading outdoors to start learning and identifying. Great learning tool!

This book is so interesting. There is so much information inside this little book it is just great. Easily readable for kids and tells them everything they could want to know about trees, from the very top, to the very bottom. Makes a walk through the woods so much fun, being able to point out all the different trees and seeds you now know from reading this book. We love it!

This third installment of Trigun Maximum is a bit bloodier than the rest of the series so far, but it's very good. The first five chapters are pretty much non-stop action in which Vash is faced off against Emilio, the puppetmaster, and Wolfwood is facing the horrific Grey the ninelives. Wolfwood's challenge is that he's facing a seemingly unstoppable juggernaut (who can somehow manage to move his arm even after it's no longer connected to his body). Vash is forced to half heartedly fight against the puppetmaster while trying to avoid taking human life in the process. A difficult prospect considering Knives' henchmen know all about Vash's love of humanity.

The philosophical tension between Wolfwood and Vash continues to grow. In the last chapter Wolfwood learns more about Vash's past. We are also introduced to some of Vash's old aquaintences.

The art work is fantastic. The charachters, addicting. Nightow has managed to create an interesting mix of philosophy, action, and plain fun into his series. It's hard to read Trigun without forming a sort of attachment to Vash and his friends. At the same time it's even easy to sympathise with Knives, knowing all of our human failings (and knowing a little more of the brothers history). I can't wait for volume 4.

Well, I just got volume three yesterday and finished it in a little over an hour. It's that addicting!! I love the new Trigun Manga from Dark Horse, and I perfer it over the Anime now that I'm hooked. The characters are more fleshed out, others appear at different times, and some are completely different.

Let us take this volume for example. In the Anime, Grey the Ninelives was an android. Not so in the Manga, for he is flesh and blood with a name that makes far more sense this time (after one version of him dies, another sprouts out of his body). Also, there is more to the mysterious Leonoff the Puppetmaster, a character that Vash seems to have met in the past. I won't give away too much more, but it was very interesting to read this, IMO, better take on the series.

I've heard people talk about how Nightow's art can be somewhat sketchy, and while I see where they are coming from, I still don't understand the complaints. In the heat of action, Nightow is all about detail; it's only when he switches to a more light-hearted/comical scene that details vanish. But seriously, if you look at the art from other Mangaka like Kubotite, they do the exact same thing. It's a style in Japan, deal with it.

As I said earlier, the story for Maximum is far better to me than that of the Anime. While I do like the Anime, there are so many filler episodes that it can become boring after a while. I've even fallen asleep during a couple. Plus, with Cartoon Network almost always playing Trigun, there really isn't a huge reason to me to buy the DVD boxset, considering it's $150. I believe Maximum ends at volume 6, so in all I'll have spentabout $80 on that, so for my money, the Manga is the cheaper and more accessible way to relive a favored franchise. That, and you can read them first in the stores.

This book is a great tool to anyone newly interested in the Bard. It has helped me greatly in learning how to appreciate Robert Burns works.

This book is essential to understanding the literary giant that Burns was and the keen insight he had about mankind.This is the primar of the multitude of books devoted to him.

This is the best college guidebook, I have read, it is almost like visiting the university without ever leaving your house. A must have for every highschool student trying to decide between Pittsburgh schools. Don't settle for the typical college guidebook, go with College Prowler.

Not knowing Pittsburgh at all, or the University of Pittsburgh, I feel that after reading this guide I have a much more detailed impression of both. That's what is so great about this book, you don't jsut get wonderful info about the school and its academics/athletics.diversity, etc, but also about the area in which the school is located. I think this is also such a great read because it is written by a student at the college. Everyone should get a copy!

The Visit is the only book that I truely remember from my childhood. My mother found it in a bookstore in chicogo and brought it home it quickly became my favorite book. It has life like engaging illustrations, that captivate children and pull them into the story. They bring out old toys, and things that My mother had thought were forgotton. I would recomend this book highly to anyone to this day it is still my favorite book.

This is a great book that reminds me of visiting my own grandmother's home and finding great treasures. The author of this book, my husband's great-aunt, wrote this story about his sister. The artistic detail and the story together take you back to times long gone but not forgotten.

"Voices of Lymphedema" is a wonderful resource for lymphedema patients and their caregivers. Full of information and narratives from patients and therapists, the book is a joy to read. As a lymphedema patient myself, I recommend this book highly. Jan

This book is a must have for anyone with Lymphedema. It is a book you keep picking up over and over again. The stories are so close to home, showing us we are not alone in this world of LE. It also has symptoms of infections that really helped me. Families of LE patients need to read this book, it provides a better understanding of what LE sufferers go through. This book is full of stories, ideas and suggestions.

I wasn't sure about Washington University before reading this book but now I think I know it much better. I'm happy to have found such a well written guide on this college. What really impressed me was the detail of information given and the fact that it was written by a student. I think anyone looking at this university should get this book. You won't be disappointed!

This book contains meditations on the Seven Last Words, Reflections & Litanies on the Agony in the Garden and a more general reflection on the life of Christ. They are based firmly in the Scripture and experience - not highly theological as you might assume based on the author.

I would rank this among the top three Lenten books.

This book is absolutely amazing! It puts into words what we saw in the movie "The Passion." This book still brings me to tears when I read and contemplate it before a crucifix.

I remember reading this book as a child - I read it over and over to my sisters and cousins. As time went on I forgot about the book until I had grandchildren that I read to often...they asked me, "grandma did you read this book when you were little?" and "what books did you read?" So...thinking about that brought this book back into my memories and made me smile. I purchased the book and now read it to my grand daughter and it brings back fond memories each and every time. Thanks!!!

This is the first book I bought with my own money, at a library sale one summer afternoon.

Skorpen weaves a poetic tale of a group of siblings as they explore more exciting places to live than a house. They live in a tree, on a beach, in a cave and so on, gathering momentos of each place before something happens to make them move on. In the end, they find that a house is a good place for children. On the way, Skorpen's well-crafted words sing and Burn's beautiful two-tone drawings make this book a memorable place for children. It is a book that is "...a particular friend." The later editions replace Burn's art with cartoonish color-mad images that cutsie up the whole thing and ruin the oetic impact. Go with the 1969 version, it is endlessly more beautiful!
