This is a clear and compelling biography that explores the many aspects of Wright's complex life and times. I liked the fact that it didn't try to "dumb down" or simplify the controversial aspects, instead placing them within the context of the times and struggles. The stated reading level is ages 9-12, but I think the content (which primarily references Native Son and Black Boy) is going to be better managed by readers age 12 and up.

It is six books in one:

Birdwatching
Wild Flowers
Seashore Life
Insectwatching
Ponds & Streams
Trees & leaves

There are even experiments included!

Wow! novelist Anne Hart does it again with a great adventure! Terrific, fantastic. I love the humor and satire in the adventure as well as the suspense, intrigue, and mystery. This is another one of the best books from the popular novelist.

Some will be deterred by the sheer size of this book. In length, it's comparable with other standard Land Law texts such as Kevin & Susan Gray's tome, and certainly much more detailed than introductory texts like Cursley & Green's Land Law (Palgrave Law Masters). The second edition is repackaged and updated, with references in the text being to paragraph rather than page numbers.

Having studied under the great man, it is apparent that Professor Sparkes brings a levity to what is traditionally a dull and turgid subject - compulsory for all undergraduate Law degrees in England and Wales. From his comments about red squirrels to his apposite use of diagrams to demonstrate the structure of trusts, overall Sparkes has written a brilliant book on Land Law - and that probably takes some doing. If students take the time to read the relevant parts, they will easily find it a useful tool in their first year studies.

Very impressive. The authors definitely know the product well, and their presentation style (copious examples and screenshots) are imminently readable.

Great job!

As Valerie was writing her first book (she is also the author of The Bounty of Central Florida), I had just moved to Florida to start college. My memories of the cooking in Florida fortunately advanced past the college cafeteria and I was fortunate enough to sample some of the best cooking in America.

In Valerie's cookbook, she includes a recipe for Lime Pie that reminds me of Key Lime Pie, but is made with cream cheese and she also has a mango version with dark rum and orange. Imagine a Mango/Orange filling in an Chocolate Cookie crust.

There are also delicious recipes for Pecan Pies, Rich Chocolate Cakes and Brownies and a recipe for Cheesecake infused with orange, lemon and vanilla. Perfect for serving with seasonal fruits.

The Suggested Menus are helpful as they show you which recipes work well together and how you should serve them. She has menus for picnics and parties, but also focuses on global culture and even has delicious vegetarian dinner ideas.

Some of the delicious selections include:

Stuffed Mushrooms
Clams Oregano
Shrimp with Herbs
Chicken in Champagne
Beef Stroganoff with Port and Brandy
Leg of Lamb Provencale
Barbecued Pork Roast made with ginger and apricot
Squash Souffle
Zucchini Bundles
Wild Rice Ring
Orange Chiffon Cake
Banana Cake - two version
Pumpkin Bread
Grand Marnier Frosting
Raspberry Souffle with Framboise Liqueur

This is the type of cookbook you wish you had discovered years ago because it has all the recipes you have been looking for! Truly a collectible cookbook written with love and filled with comfort food and culinary sophistication.

A GREAT read . It was avery sweet love story . A nice change from from arrogent men and ditzy females .

This is an excellent book. I've been reading up on Nixon as of late, and I thoroughly enjoyed this updated edition. Basically, the book is composed of quotes from various figures organized into sections relating to a topic or question. It does away with boring biographical details and just goes into the real meat of any issue--using the personal observations of those who were there.

It's a great read--you get plenty of insight into Nixon's personality (even what he ate for lunch!), how he operated the White House, how he ran his campaigns, his policy ideas, and ultimately the events that led up to Watergate and his resignation.

All the big boys are interviewed--Colson, Dean, Halderman, Erlichman, etc. But still, nobody can figure out who ordered the break in. They're all still blaming eachother.

The theories on who Deep Throat was are funny in the context of his recent admission. Haig almost nails it. Everyone else is way off.

Anyway a great read--I'm now going through the rest of the Oral History books these authors have written. I hope they do more!

This was a gift to a colleague who did his doctorate work on Canadian literature. He said this was the perfect gift and was an excellent resource for all his lit classes. There is a great deal of difference between the two cultures and this book is an excellent survey of those differences.
