Cameron Books

About this book:

In 1963, the Detroit Society for Genealogical Research published a series of articles by Cameron Allen, "The Sublett (Soblet) Family of Manakintown, King William Parish, Virginia," chronicling the arrival of Abraham Soblet and his family in the New World in 1700, and the first several generations of their descendants.

Through the 1980s, these articles were collected and reprinted in book form, with additional notes and research added by Donald Jackson Sublette. Ultimately, a seventh edition was published in 1994, comprising all of Sublette's updates and a new index.

In 2000 and 2003, The American Genealogist published two new articles by Cameron Allen, focusing on the family's Huguenot ancestors in Europe before 1700: "The Soblets of the European Refuge" and "Ancestral Table of Suzanne Brian, Wife of Abraham Soblet."

This 45th Anniversary edition collects all of Cameron Allen's articles on the Soblet/Sublett/Sublette family for the first time, the result of more than four decades of research, along with a new Preface explaining the author's interest in Huguenot genealogy.

With more than 1,000 footnotes and an index of names, this book is the essential starting point for all researchers of Soblet/Sublett/Sublette family history.

Working together it appears that nothing, except maybe sheer dumb luck, will stop Hunter from returning to the Outer World. However this is before they come up against a creature called the Soul Eater. I hope there will be more Spider Riders books in the future. I mean there's still a cliffhanger at the end. Will Hunter ever make it home?

This book leaves those movies about mindless man-eating spiders in the dust!

Hunter Steel and Shadow sound like they are a team already, but don't let that fool you. They are still working out their differences, but will their teamship be enough to recover the three remaining Oracle shards?

I thought this screenplay was absolutely great. It was actually better than the movie even. I liked that Faith(portrayed by the superb Juliette Lewis in the film.) was used more in the book. She was my favorite out of everyone. I wish they had used more of the scenes she was in for the movie, it would have made it better.If you have seen the movie you should really read it, it will make you appriciate it more. If you are a fan of the movie or science fiction, I suggest you check this book out. It also includes really cool pictures from the movie!

This handbook is a compilation of technical data from scholars worldwide. It deals with fuels synthesized from oil shale, tar sands (oil sands), and coal. It explains historic processes for coal gasification and modern processes for gasoline production from synthesis of these raw materials. There are 556 citations in the bibliography. I have never encountered a more comprehensive handbook on synthetic fuels.

A really great book. While the majority of it is found in the movie, there are several scenes that aren't. These scenes give you more understanding of the storyline. The rest expand upon what's already in the movie. Alot of the unnamed minor characters have names in the book.

It was very interesting reading about the psychology of Reese. With Reese you become highly reminded of our troops in Iraq. When people come back from Iraq, they often have serious problems re-adjusting to our tranquil civilian life. Reese is basically the same way, adjusting to the radically calmer life of 1984. You get an immersing detailed look at what it's like to survive in a deadly battlefield and how that impacts his senses and processing of the world around him.

I wish this book weren't out of print.

Eleanor Cameron was a very good story teller and her books for youth are some of the best around. This tale of a "monster" near Redwood Cove is no different. The question the towns people ask, "just what have Jennifer and Tom seen?" This fast moving tale still captivates the young reader and I do hope it remains available. This one, first released in 1959, is certainly no worse for the wear. This is a story from a different, more less complicated time. It was wone of my children's favorites and I did enjoy reading it with them.

I found That Kind of Money in a mystery bookstore and bought it for my young niece and nephew. Before passing the book along, I read a few pages, just to get a feel for the story, and the next thing I knew, it was nearly midnight and I'd finished it. How it compares with other juvenile fiction, I can't say, since I can't recall when I last read any, but I found the characters--both teen and adult--deftly drawn and completely convincing. There is a genuine mystery, with a believable solution, at the heart of of the novel; there is a certain amount of suspense and tension. But, mostly there is humor, in the situations portrayed, and in the rueful take the two adolescent protagonists--Woody and Steve--have on themselves and the other people in their small world. A few locutions (like "hydro" for "electricity" and "slivers" for "splinters") mark the characters as Canadian but this is a story that could take place anywhere there is snow at Christmas and Chambers of Commerce to sponsor seasonal decoration contests and teenagers who dream of being rock stars. A book well worth buying, in my opinion; I'll let you know what the niece and nephew have to say on the topic.
