Written almost 25 yrs ago its interesting that others are now jumping on to the wagon talking about the possible coming Ice Age. Very interesting and insightful and more than a little scary. The one bad thing about this book is that is so out of date with current weather imagery and information. And of course the Internet was not born yet. Just reread it for a 6th or so time and that was my only complaint was the technology. Very good book for fans of "The Day After" book and upcoming movie.

This book is very practical and very helpful. Weiss's aim is to help someone improve his/her marriage by changing himself, not his spouse. This book will challenge you and guide you in ways that you can take specific actions to improve your marriage by yourself, regardless of your spouse's attitude.

As I first got into this book, I feared that it would be filled with good illustrations but not tackle the scriptural issues I wanted to know about Evangelism...I was wrong.

The book is interesting the whole way through, and clearly articulates the points without redundancy. I have been seriously thinking about evangelism for a few years now, and if I would have asked someone to write a book on evangelism with the questions that I had, this is what it would have been about.

The way each chapter was set up was great, the story at the beginning, the conclusion at the end. The introduction was powerful, it is not about you, it is about God! We are his instruments. Cecil combated the current-day trend of choosing personal evangelistic "styles." He eased the fears of readers early on when he spoke of our dependency on Christ, and how we were created that way, and it is not a bad thing.

Fellow Christians, read this book!

This is a comprehensive trail guide for the serious hiker/backpacker. Along with its companion "94 Hikes in the Northern Canadian Rockies" hundreds of miles of hiking trails are described in detail. A black & white photo accompanies each hike along with vital statistics eg. distance, time, elevation gain, etc. Not fancy but essential; without it I feel lost.

This is a great book one of America's great muralists. His artwork is beautifully reproduced and shows how current these murals are today. I wish they would have shown more of the murals he did at Fisk.

walking through his colourful style in all portraits the reality is swept away and the eccentric personas survive

If you are interested in not just including but challenging EVERY learner, this book is for you. It is well-written, intellectually engaging, and inspiring. The authors ask us as educators to transform our beliefs about our students and become people who believe in and demand excellence of all our students. It is a must for every educator dedicated to social justice.

This is for people who administer schools. I was hoping for corporate type of accountability book, so this was a mistake purchase. I hope to give this to someone who can use it.

_Adrift on the Haunted Seas: The Best Short Stories of William Hope Hodgson_ is an excellent collection of the various eerie sea stories of William Hope Hodgson (1877-1918). Praised as an expert story-teller by H. P. Lovecraft, Hodgson was British born and became a cabin boy on a ship defying his father's wishes. Hodgson was obsessed with physical training and developed his body as he traveled on the seas, but during his spare time he engaged in reading and taking photographs. Later, Hodgson was to become a writer who wrote stories about the seafaring life and incorporated uncanny elements in them revealing the mysteries of the open sea. Hodgson's stories are unique in his ability for "conveying feelings of the spectral and abnormal" as H. P. Lovecraft put it. These stories are filled with strange sea creatures, such as deadly molds and fungi, gigantic crabs, sea serpents, octopi (the dreaded "devil-fish"), and sea caterpillars, and haunted direlects. The stories also feature the natural atmospheric occurrences of the sea, including deadly lightning and cyclones, as well as earthquakes. One of the stories in this collection also includes the element of magical rites in it and another features a sea-ghoul. In addition, a great number of Hodgson's stories reveal his fascination with the Sargasso Sea, a snare of weed-patched sea in the mid-Atlantic that became legendary to sailors. Indeed, frequently ships appear caught in the weed of the Sargasso Sea and nefarious sea creatures lurk beneath it in the stories. This collection also features some poetry of Hodgson as well. Hodgson was later to enlist during the First World War and was killed in battle.

This collection includes the following stories and poems of Hodgson:

"On the Bridge"

"The Voice in the Night"

"Grey Seas are Dreaming of My Death" (verse)

"Out of the Storm"

"The Voice in the Dawn"

"The Haunted Jarvee"

"From the Tideless Sea (First Part and Second Part)"

"The Derelict"

"The Wild Man of the Sea"

"The Place of Storms" (verse)

"The Haunted Pampero"

"An Adventure of the Deep Waters"

"Demons of the Sea"

"Through the Vortex of a Cyclone"

"The Finding of the Graiken"

"A Tropical Horror"

"Thou Living Sea" (verse)

"The Mystery of the Derelict"

"The Stone Ship"

"The Shamraken Homeward-Bounder"

"Farewell" (verse).

These stories are very well written and interesting and will appeal to all those who enjoy the weird element and eerie description of the strange and supernatural and sea-faring lore.
