This cookbook is top rate! It is extremely well organized into chapers such as Eye-Openers, Fresh & Fruity, Asides, Egg Dishes, Hearty Entrees, Muffins, Pancakes & Waffles, James & Jellies, Special Occasions, etc.....

This book has inspired me to make many of the recipes featured in the book. You don't have to use recipes just for dinner (as other books commonly feature) but you can spend time & energy to make great breakfasts & brunches. Also, it doesn't take a lot of time & energy to make this a.m. recipes!!!

The book is named after the Grant Corner Inn which was rated #1 by Sante Fe magazine. After reading the few pages of history about the Inn & the recipes I can easily see why!

Get this book and you will not be disappointed!!!

The book you are reviewing about is called Grant Hill. It is a biography written by Ken Rapport. It's about him growing up playing basketball and he is the best player in his high school. I really liked the book and I would recommend it for other people. If you like basketball you will like this book because it's very descriptive. He is a really good basketball player and in high school he goes over 2,000 points. Very few high school players ever do that in there life. So over all I thought it deserves a 10 out of a 1-10 because it's descriptive and very interesting.

The book is exiciting and great.Grant Hill is from the wrost to the best.Who played with Pistons and Magics.And playes real great on actually any team.He is also good at making far shots.Grant Hil was one of the best players in the league.

I enjoyed this young-reader's book as a fourth-grader and really liked its true-life tale about steam boating. Captain Grant Marsh ruled the Missouri River (plus the Yellowstone and Mississippi) when the steam boat was king, and continued as it began to be diminished by railroads - which later would be diminished by highways and airplanes. The book covers Marsh as he begins working as a cabin boy along the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers before the Civil War, working his way up the ranks until he is a ship's captain. Readers get a feel for steam boating, adventure, and the culture of the Native American Indians and encroaching whites in the Great plains and northwest.

Readers might also enjoy LIFE ON THE MISSISSIPPI, a semi-autobiographical adult classic by Mark Twain.

I truly enjoyed the story about a prisoner of War, British Lieutenant Warren Somerville, injured & captured in Ontario.

I plan on buying more of Jill Stengl's books. I've already read HIGHLAND LEGACY, another must read for anyone
who loves, Scotland , genealogy, adventure and Romance,

This is a directory of about 250 progressive foundations, with contact information and descriptions of procedures and funding areas, indexed by areas of interest, state and size. Very valuable.

No one has ever captured the essence of the great technocratic make-work project as well as Daniel Greenberg. Billions of tax dollars are poured into academic and other labs to produce a lot of stuff that is trivial or even ridiculous. Researchers and journal editors play games of favor-trading, so that one guy's paper gets published and another's does not. And everybody cites his friends' papers, since that is how tenure committees and grant reviewers evaluate things. The fundamental problem with science is that the only people qualified to pass judgment on it are the few who produce it. Greenberg points out the absurdity and resulting waste from all this, but unfortunately, comes up with no solutions. At the very least the government needs to come up with a bureaucracy that has first-rate scientific literacy without being dependent on academe, the military-industrial complex, or any other such special interest group. The taxpayers need a hound dog to watch the chickens, not a fox. The only one they have now is Greenberg himself, in his more recent and serious books on the uses and abuses of science.

As an elementary art teacher, I always keep my eyes open for power-packed, informative, interesting, art-related books. This book is excellent in helping children relate to the artist's individual style ("...his trees look like broccoli") and comparing Wood's style to similar styles of his inspirational fellow artists. The children especially love the fictional yet funny cartoons relating to the artist's life. This book successfully portrays Grant Wood's love of his homeland.

"Grant Wood's (1891-1942) paintings epitomized the Regionalist movement and attracted an immense popular audience. This book, published as the catalog for the traveling exhibit which premiered at the Davenport Museum of Art in Iowa (1995), is richly illustrated with some sixty of Wood's paintings and preparatory studies. The text examines Modernist influences on the artist, specifically in relation to his abstract design principles and the lasting influence of Neo-Impressionism on his painting.

"Grant Wood and Little Sister Nan draws Nan Wood Graham out of the larger tapestry of Wood's life and gives definition to her loyal support of her brother and her own achievements. She was a pathfinder whose contributions extend into areas that cannot be easily measured." writes Mary Bennett, Special Collections Coordinator for the State Historical Society of Iowa.

Julie Jensen McDonald pieces together the spirit of the Wood family during the demanding and daring times of the 1920s and 30s, capturing the substance that nurtured the talent, resourcefulness, and fierce loyalty demonstrated by Nan Wood Graham until her death in 1990 at the age of ninety-one years. Intriguing and enchanting details, garnered from the vast collection of Grant Wood memorabilia now held by the Davenport Art Museum, and other sources, profile the woman behind the face in American Gothic. Nan tells how she was wooed by her brother into posing for the painting by a promise that no one would recognize her. As the Gothic couple became one of the most celebrated images in art history, she speaks candidly of the joy as well as the vulnerability of "celebrity," including the innumerable parodies which depict a wide range of social conditions.

Joan Liffring-Zug Bourret, Penfield Press publisher, presents a pictorial documentary along with a"Passages in Time" of the Wood family, and rare insights from friends, acquaintances and admirers of Nan and her brother Grant Wood.

Essays by friends and close associates reveal the extent of Nan Wood Graham's devotion to the memory of her brother and to the places where they spent their early years. Personal letters and other commentaries provide a view of her fondness for time and place: early years in Anamosa, Iowa, growing up in Cedar Rapids, the generosity of friends in the Amana Colonies in times of great need, and the support of friends and mentors in the Iowa City and Davenport areas. Nan was often cast as a "fierce guardian of the truths of her brother's life." The Epilogue "Myths About Grant Wood," based on several years of research with Nan and other sources by the late John Zug, presents some truths to dispel many of the myths that often accompany notoriety.

This book adds a dimension to the woman in American Gothic. At age eighty three, Nan said the painting saved her life from being drab. Even though she didn't think the "painted" lady looked anything like her when it was first displayed, she had now decided that: "We look a lot alike. She's really become me."
