Kennedy Books

The appearance of the book was very good. It saved me a lot of money compared to the college book store price.

I needed this book for college, it was much cheaper then buying it through the school. Item arrived in perfect condition with fast shipping. This book has helped me through 4 classes, very useful.

Excellent content that is easy to understand. Helps young girls stop and think before jumping into situations. Gives girls positive encouragement to have their dreams fulfilled, making goals, understanding parents, grownups, and consequences. Picture and journal areas for writing down feelings, thoughts, goals, self evaluation and future dreams. Nothing offensive inside this book. What is nice is that it is for any girl no matter what belief they may or may not have. There are no religious topics, so anyone can incorporate their own beliefs if they shared this book with their daughter. It will help young girls decide to wait to have sex or a baby and respect their body.

This wonderful story is realistic and hopeful at the same time, and is perfect for reading with children going through family changes. The illustrations are wonderful and the characters are totally loveable. Jane Clarke has done a fantastic job, and clearly understands the issues children may experience during their parents' divorce or separation. Although it is written for pretty young children, it is suitable for all elementary age kids. I highly recommend this story, which can be read with kids again and again. I am the co-founder of a divorce/separation counseling program for families in Seattle called Circle Dynamics and I have read just about every book ever written about divorce for parents and children. There are many books out there that miss the mark. This story is perfect for children adjusting to the idea of two homes!

While voice and intonation are critical, there's something about getting to READ these speeches that gave them an entirely fresh layer of meaning for me.

Because I was reading and not just listening I picked up nuances I missed just watching. Well worth a lifetime of memories for under $2.

This important book is a labor of love that helps clarify for the general reader the current complex picture of the Kennedy presidency--why JFK was assassinated and what America lost as a result of his untimely and tragic death. The final chapter--"Had JFK Lived"--describes the America that might have been. Highly recommended.

Women married to non-Christians, and even women married to non-growing Christians, will find heart and hope in this book. A quarter-century of prayers and tears undergird the Biblical principles of "Between Two Loves." Its reminders would serve any woman wishing to strengthen her marriage. For example: Dwell on your spouse's positives, not the negatives or "if-onlys." Guard against finding soul-mates elsewhere. Be faithful in prayer. Deliberately love your spouse. Her suggestions for dealing with outright antagonism will bolster women who don't know how much more they can handle. Buy and read for your own edification, then quietly and lovingly give a copy to a wife who carries the banner of faith alone.

Kennedy's lovely account of day-to-day (rather than tourist) Egypt is insightful and thought-provoking. Too often we think of this country only as ancient history; Kennedy meets its taxi drivers, poets, and felucca captains. As he travels the country's immense expanse, he attempts to understand its people and their desires. At the same time, he uncovers some of his own philosophies and values.

I really enjoyed this entertaining and informative book. The author is able to convey facts about a wide variety of subjects related to the UFO/ET phenomena in a creative, story-like style, which is rare for a person with her academic background. Most books on this topic I've read were dry and merely interesting. This one's fun! What I really appreciated was her honesty. If certain material was speculative, she said so. If an idea was her own, she claimed it. It is evident that a lot of research went into the book, yet she does so much more than merely review and recite. She forms her own conclusions, which are fresh and sound. Writing style is clear and concise. She is able to transition to new points and topics with relative ease, weaving it together with the underlying theme of the book - the "Wizard of Oz mysteries" - esoteric truths about the symbolism in that story and how it relates to the material put forth in her book. She reveals connections not ordinarily discerned and her insight sheds much needed light on many controversial issues. She gives an in-depth analysis of the principles of occultism, and even gives out a technique for individual practice so that the reader can experience firsthand the reality and effectiveness of this engaged spirituality. This preliminary material forms a strong foundation for what comes next - an overview of the evolution of the esoteric mystery traditions and how they're tied into the UFO/ET phenomena. Why this information is important and how it relates to the reader is thoroughly explored psychologically, sociologically, and spiritually. An entire chapter is devoted to the workings of what she calls the "muddlers" -- a shadowy corporate/governmental oligarchy - how it maintains control and spins the wheel of disinformation and what we can do about it. She explains that they need not resort to conspiracy or secret societies to do this -- it's all done through mainstream politics and economics and she shows how. Finally, she explores at length the little-known physiology of awareness and effects of music and how we can use this fascinating information to heal and strengthen ourselves, leading to a better understanding of each other and meaningful extraterrestrial contact. Very down to earth, she excels in translating supportive scientific studies into layman's terms. Her main message is self-empowerment, that spiritual enlightenment is anchored in the heart - not the head, and ends the book on a compassionate and positive note. Overall, this must be one of the most original and creative books I've ever read. I found it to be empowering, uplifting, and incredibly comprehensive. I only wished she'd included more diagrams. Still, at a whopping 681 pages, it's a lot of bang for your buck. Definitely recommended as I believe it's destined to be a classic!

This is a review of the 1974 edition of BILLY BALDWIN REMEMBERS which was dedicated to his love Woodson Taulbee. More anecdotal than his previous book BILLY BALDWIN DECORATES, it provides influential background information that formed his distinctive sense of style and gives the philosophy behind his designs. Also, some clients are profiled; the identity of some others is kept confidential, especially in association with the less-than-flattering remarks. There are numerous sub-headings, but the main chapters are telling as to the spirit of the book: Romance at Wye House: The Orangery, 1925; The Wonders of Evergreen House, Baltimore, 1925-1935; The Years with Ruby Ross Wood, 1935-1950; Pleasure Dome in Palm Beach: The Wolcott Blair House, 1936; Fantasy in Jamaica, September 1938; Take a Room; El Senor Puerco: Pre-Castro Cuba, 1957; Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Miller, 1945-1974; Two Walks: Jackie Kennedy, 1963, Jackie Onassis, 1968; Metamorphosis, 1946-1973; Stars in My Crown; Thorns in My Crown; Miss G.; The Fairy-tale Bedroom of Mrs. Tobin Clarke; Landmarks in Decorating: Revivals and Innovations, 1947-1973; Nostalgia; Green Mansions; An Arabian Night: The Metropolitan Museum of Art Centennial Ball, 1970; A House in the Country, 1974; Apartment in the Sky: Mr. and Mrs. Harding Lawrence, 1973.

The reader will realize why almost every successful male -- and many female-- American interior designers today considers Billy Baldwin an important influence in the development of his own style. Despite the passage of 34 years since publication, and the realization that young adults might have no idea who any of these people were, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in residential interior design.
