Curtis Books

This book really encouraged me to let go of all the excuses that have held me back from doing exactly what God want's me to do. It motivates you to release your narrow thoughts and to replace them with God's BIG thoughts - He is limitless and want's you to have the BEST!

Offers short, beautiful insights and touching interpretations of the Psalm. This writing was divinely inspired. I was inspired and calmed. I do not belong to Dr. Curtis's church, but this was superb.

_Not too many people remember the Masked Rider these days. Yet, at one time he was as famous as the Lone Ranger or Zorro (seemingly combining elements of each.) Wearing a black mask, Stetson, and cape; he wielded twin colt .45's; rode the great black charger Midnight; and travelled with his faithful Yaqui companion, Blue Hawk. Known as "the Robin Hood Outlaw" he road the justice trail to aid the downtrodden and oppressed of the the wild frontier.

_This particular story has our heroes in the Nevada basin and range country helping honest ranchers to defend themselves from a ruthless railroad who would frame them for crimes that they did not commit in order to seize their land.

_The Masked Rider pulps stretched from the 30's into the '50's. A variety of writers penned the stories at one time or another. In this case it was Walker A. Tompkins, a western veteran who did everything from Gunsmoke novelizations, to Roy Rogers, to the Rio Kid. In the late 60's Curtis Publishing (The Saturday Evening Post) revived the Rider in 26 paperback reprints of the original pulp stories. This book was #26.

Dr. Curtis wrote this book so that the reader does not have to be a business major to understand the basic financial and economic concepts presented. I would recommend it to anyone desiring a clearer understanding of the dynamics that comprise the U.S. economy.

Very complete guide, following the standards set forth by the Que "Using" series. Covers using all parts of ACT! 4, including SideACT! and reports. The information included in this book will help you take ACT! 4 to the limit, you will find yourself getting the most out of ACT! than you thought possible. ACT! is the easiest to understand of the Contact managers, no wonder it is the market leader.

I think The Vanishing money is a wonderful book, it is a fiction book but it seems so real. i would love to see this book series to turn in to a movie that would be great!!

When it comes to describing the plants of a locale with all its ecological intricacies, it could be said that John Curtis did it first and best. The only way he could have done it better was to expand beyond Wisconsin's boundaries and write "The Ecology and Ecosystems of the Midwest." Still, and after 42 years in print, this book remains the definitive source for understanding the relationships among the plants of bogs, forests, prairies, lake dunes, and the other habitats of the Upper Midwest. Inset range maps, photos, lists of plants with their "commonness ratings (my term)" in the different habitats, brief histories of human uses of the habitats, and descriptions of the environment (soils, hydrology, etc.) complete the picture. Growing up in Michigan and working for years in Minnesota and the rest of the Midwest, I can attest that it serves these locales reasonably well, and currently there is nothing better. It would work in Iowa, northern Illinois and Indiana, and southern Ontario as well. As a child of the information age, I admit that the presentation of graphics, charts, etc. is not as sharp as it could be. Recent advances in ecology and statistical computing power unavailable to Curtis make some of his analyses a bit dated. Curtis was also somewhat doctrinaire in his view of plant species distributions across ecological gradients (a Gleasonian individualist, for those who wonder), leading him to ignore the important distinction between prairies on sand versus heavier soils, for example. All in all, this book is an excellent primer for anyone with the desire to become more familiar with the intricate composition and workings of midwestern ecosystems and, along the way, feel just a little more at home here.

Literary journalism Anthony Curtis reviewed the volumes of Virginia Woolf's diaries, letters, and essays when they were first published, as well as accounts of her life history and mental illness. Virginia Woolf: Bloomsbury & Beyond is his biographical expose of Woolf that seeks to answer the question, "Of what does Virginia Woolf's greatness consist?" Vintage black-and-white photographs illustrate this distinguished study of her life and literature, which also takes into account the contemporary novels that Woolf's writing was a reaction against, and especially her rebellion against the linear narrative. A fascinating read for scholars and lay readers alike, Virginia Woolf seamlessly blends the twin issues of Woolf's literary achievements and the context of their creation. Highly recommended.

This is perhaps the greatest book authored by my uncle, Victor Hugo Boesen. He worked diligently with Curtis' daughter and other members and friends of the Curtis family to research and to write this book. The photographs are stunning. It is a must read for anyone interested in the history of the American Indian and Curtis' crucial role in recording this history. This book has been translated into French and German. Victor Boesen served as a war correspondent for Liberty Magazine during World War II and was present at the signing of the peace treaty on the USS Missouri. His writings appeared in Life, Look, the Los Angeles Times, and other major periodicals and newspapers.

Very funny! Bently Barker is a kid every reader can identify with. He has plenty of struggles, and we root for him all the way.
