Johnston Books

Johnston and Clark is the textbook of choice for teaching service operations management. Its coverage is balanced and its style induces active class discussion. The end-of-chapter cases are short and inviting while losing nothing essential.

Szczypiorski wirtes a terrificly laid out easy flowing story that traces a young boys transition from innocence to his reality of the world he lives in which he has long been sheltered from. The book is in fact a very captivating story that enables the reader to visualize the author's smooth, specific details. I reccomend this book to all for its beatuiful writing and captivating story! My compliments to the author on a wonderful job.

I remember reading this the first time when I was in sixth grade. I wasn't that much of a reader, but after reading this book, I really took a liking to reading. This is a great book, full of suspense and mystery. Originally I was attracted to it because it had "unicorn" in the title. As it turned out, it had nothing to do with unicorns other than that the horse farm was called Unicorn Farm. I did however, begin to read it and ended up not putting it down until I finished. It's been a long time since I read it and I lost it somewhere a few years back. I really wish that I could get another copy, but since it's out of print that's going to be fairly hard. If you find it, it is definately worth a read.

Another great book written by Terry. He hasn't lost his touch and keeps the series going strong. The book starts off a little slow but as always he takes you on an adventure of the Indian Wars, this time it's Fort Sill, OK that is being featured. The setting is in the plains of Texas and Oklahoma area. Seamus is back and partering with Jack Stilwill. Once you start you won't be able to stop in the middle of one of the best series of all time, if you like books in this time era. Enjoy!!

Sherman's March to the Sea is well-known, however his subsequent campaign up through the Carolinas is not. Sherman is widely considered to be the inventor of manuever warfare, and as such this is required reading. It is little known that this campaign continued for 9 days after Appomattox!

READ THIS BOOK YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED

Once again Debra Johnston delivers an extraordinary book of ghost stories! This is a perfect companion to her first book: "Skeletons In The Closet - True Ghost Stories of the Shoals Area." If you love history and you love a good ghost story, you will not want to miss this!

this is a remarkable anthology filled with truth, inspiration and wisdom for children and adults alike. EXCELLENT testimonies regarding the mutually beneficial healing powers of volunteer work.

it is my philosophy that what we love to do, instructs us as to what we are here to do, and what suffering we endure, instructs us on who we are here to help once we've healed. this can be seen over and over again within the 45 short narratives of people who have transcended their personal tragedies by helping others through similar pains.

the concept and goal of this book: to successfully match readers with services/volunteer work most compatible with their personality, strengths/weaknesses, and passions, is a noble one. i was especially pleased to read, "this book provides no pecking order to the available causes to serve, because there shouldn't be any"

and gail johnston stays true to her words by showcasing the value of a wide variety of volunteer experiences from passing out pencils, to building homes, to providing medical care, to singing, random acts of kindness (prepaying a stranger's cab fare), to the actual founding of non-profit organizations.

no act of service is too small and all acts of service result in the benefits described at the beginning of the book: "...mysterious, spiritual belssings that can't be seen or measured but that surely enhance our well-being and quality of life"

like the author, i too am a survivor of eating disorders, and like the author also, i found that my healing and return to happiness and health is in large part thanks to the willingness and ability to move away from mass media influenced micro-self-consciousness and toward the much more important things in life: reaching out and helping others.

3/4 of the way through this book, my comment to my children was this: "we share the planet with some truly amazing people." -and i am most proud and grateful to have my own volunteer testimony and the tri valley haven in livermore, included in the social cause diet.

the world owes gail johnston a big thank you! for the time, work, effort and accomplishment of this most inspiring anthology. i'm sure the humanitarian benefits will manifest quickly and multiply for years to come.

it's "pay it foward" in action not theory.

and an all around great read, after read, after read...

Devin Johnston has written an extraordinary third collection of poems. He coaxes magical voices from the edges of perception, particles of knowledge from the flight of birds and the presence of ghosts. While oracular voices are often thought enigmatic, the poems in Sources are filled with deft detail and indelible language. Johnston utilizes a wide variety of stratagems and styles and even reanimates a few poets of the near and distant past with agility and surprising effect. I know I will be revisiting the mysteries revealed here far into my future.

This book is a light-hearted story about two best friends who, for the day, pretend they are cowboys (or cowgirls) at their school rodeo. By the end of this book, it teaches how to have fun while "competing" in such events as the boot search, teddy bear tie up, and naming the uses for a bandana (not banana). My son loves this story as it tells about feelings ranging from happy to anger. It also shows that just because someone wins, it is alright not to. I recommend this book for all children who dream of being a cowboy or cowgirl.
