Meyer Books

This book is a very good source of information if you are building a model of this aircraft and want to have it look like the actual aircraft. It also tells a brief history of this aircraft and the other programs that this aircraft was involved in, as well as what it was designed to do. The book also briefly talks about the three other aircraft that this aircraft inspired, but were never built past the prototype stage.

My name is Michael L. Oaks, of Grants Pass, Oregon. If you were ever associated in any way, with the B-36 aircraft as I was, this book is a "must have" for your library. It tells the story of the greatest "Cold War" aircraft made. It covers all of the various models of the B-36 to even the variations developed from it such as the C-199 Cargo type etc. The book is in 8 1/2x 11 landscape, glossy format,with lots of photo's of everything from crashes, tail markings (in color). In fact, its 50 pages cover just about every detail about this magnificant aircraft, from the flight deck, to the various manned stations through-out the "Peacemaker". It gives a brief history of the various Bomb wings, as well as the serial numbers of all of the B-36's. A must for the aircraft enthusiast. My own personal experience with the B-36 was as an engine mechanic from 1951 through 1954. Great book! Great store! and have a Great day!

I just finished playing this quest today. I enjoy this campain becuse of the large and strange variety of creatures and treasure. It has lots of puzzles and riddles that are actually quite hard. It will be hard for beginners but towards the end it is very easy. This quest will be a snap for verterans. Plus you get lots of experience. HE HE HE HE

One of the best adventures in the classic "I" series, Baltron's Beacon is unfortunately one of the rarest as well. This near-perfect module will take your PCs from the home of the great sage Demetrios into the wilds of the marshes, then to the ruins of the glowing tower itself, into the dungeons, seeking the legendary Black Flame! A wonderful adventure you'll never forget.

I love this book! If you or someone who know
is struggling with anything in life know that the
battle starts within your own mind. This book
really helped me to look at life from a new and more
positive perspective. Joyce Meyer is a true God-send

We all have battles in our mind at times. This book will help you. YES, EVEN YOU!!

IT WAS VERY WELL WRITTEN ON HOW YOUR MIND IS ALWAYS PLAYING TRICKS ON YOU. JOYCE EXPLAINS ON HOW TO CONTROL YOUR EVERYDAY THOUGHTS AND HOW TO LET GOD HELP YOU IN THIS. THERE IS SO MUCH TO SAY ABOUT THIS BOOK, IF YOU LIKE GREAT READING THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU. WE ARE AT MY CHURCH IS USING IT IN OUR WOMENS MONTHLY MEETING. ALL I CAN SAY IS IT IS GREAT.....THANKS

This book deserves the highest praise avaliable. Well written and encouraging...one book you will refer to over and over. Great job Joyce!

Wonderful insight from a gracious, older and experienced female Ironman athlete!
I found Cherie's book to be inspirational and full of useful advice... great information or just tidbits that reinforce what I already know about training for this tough event. For NEW or SEASONED triathletes, it is a nice reminder of how to go about IM training, especially when one gets a little off track!
As a seasoned, female IM athlete myself, I am often looked to for coaching advice, and this book is one that I highly recommend! An easy
read, and a book that you can pick up again and again, reading just a paragraph or two (like when you can barely keep your eyes open after a long hard day of training), and always be inspired to keep going when it gets tough! Thank you, Cherie!

Cherie is one of the most experienced and winning triathletes in the sport today, and holds several world records (www.cheriegruenfeld.com). She obviously knows what it takes, and she conveys that information eloquently in her new book. Her years of training, coaching, and racing world-wide have given her a wealth of experience and knowledge that is invaluable to anyone contemplating becoming an amature or professional triathlete, spectator or support crew member.

I've visited most of the places in this book, and I've yet to be dissappointed. Besides giving a large variety of places, Reade provides the best times to go, what you can expect, and how to get there. If you live in western NY and enjoy the outdoors, you will enjoy this book.

I found this book a wonderful resource for day trips in the Western New York area. There are places to explore for all types of people, from serious hikers and explorers, to artistic sculpture seeking individuals.

This book is for someone whose already had some hands-on exposure to bonsai and started generating questions about what they've encountered. An excellent practical reference that covers everything from watering to growing moss. Not much on specific species and no color pictures (or many black and whites either) but very readable and makes bonsai much less intimidating. A must for new bonsai practicioners.

an excellent resource that covers all the fundamentals of bonsai. There are no fancy pictures in this book, just practical info

I PASSED THIS BOOK TO ALL MY FRIENDS AT THE CAMPGROUND AND THEY ALL READ IT AND LOVED IT. THEY CAN'T BELEIVE THAT THEY KNOW ONE OF THE AUTHORS AND CAN'T WAIT UNTIL SHE COMES BACK TO SIGN THEIR COPY. VERY GOOD MESSAGE IN THE BOOK IS WHAT THEY ALL SAID. I AM SO PROUD OF MY GRANDAUGHTER. I KNOW THERE WILL BE MORE BOOKS TO COME.

Okay, first, the one thing that I can't get over is the fact that this book was written by 6th Graders!!! In other words, 12 year olds! I thought that was really cool! This book reminded me of other favorite books like InkHeart, A Wrinkle in Time, and a Series of Unfortunate Events, only for a younger crowd, maybe third or fourth graders. I would definitely reccommend this book to them. Plus it is REALLY inspiring to know that kids wrote this book and did all the editing themselves!

Abby's life is fast paced. In the morning she cares for Anita, a recovering addict she is hiding, because Anita is in the country illegally and has just witnessed a murder. In the late night she siphons a hacker friend's know-how into interfering with high-end bullying in the neighbourhood.

She also eeks out time to teach bike repair to kids at the community center, see her mom and occasionally humor a gentleman suitor. The later two get little time because both her mom and boyfriend are a bit high-brow for Abby and she always has important, secret, work to get back to besides.

The plot ties together the plight of immigrant hooker, Anita, with Abby's father's jailing and the larger problem of gentrification of the market; all issues that Abby throws herself into, not blindly, but not cautiously either. "To know Abby is to worry about Abby," and the finale is far beyond what anyone imagined Abby would get herself into.

Abby's routine and deviations from it are inspiring. In many ways, she is not obviously in a position to make big change, but she does. She is nosy, she takes just a little liberty with her bike messenger job, she does the hacking legwork despite having previously been a technophobe. She is clever, brave and really gives a damn. In the end, it is she, Anita, and a lawyer who save the day for themselves, and for justice in Kensington market. And Abby gets a new job to boot!

The short length and fast pace made it feel like an enjoyable young adult read, but know that the content includes prostitution, heroine and violence. The main challenge to reading was that the language seemed jarringly intellectual, and a bit unsubtle. That is, aspects of various characters' lifestyles could have been implied more subtly, which also gave the story a young adult feel; hard characters, given a soft treatment. But by page 30, I barely noticed this anymore as I was vicariously engaged in life as a "Call Girl Courier".

Vivian Meyer writes from experience. Her life work is in an alternative school in downtown Toronto, where she sees some of the poorest youth in the city. BOTTOM BRACKET is her first mystery. Kensington Market as depicted in the novel is her own home neighborhood.

Abby Faria is a college graduate with an upscale mom. But she is living in Kensington Market in inner-city Toronto. She works as a bike courier, and bikes are her passion. She dates a lawyer, but their differing viewpoints make the relationship shallow at best. Still, Abby is fond of her guy and loves their great meals. But a murder that occurs almost on her doorstep and a frightened female illegal working as a hooker (with the accompanying heroin addiction) lands in Abby's lap. Abby gamely takes in Anita, finds help for her at a detox center, and seeks out an old family friend to help out. But what Abby doesn't know is that in the midst of the good people she knows in the neighborhood lurk crooked cops; lawyers on the take; and danger:

"I hadn't paid any attention to the car parked face forward further up the lane. Savvy marketers often use that spot as a free parking space. I leaned my bike against my body and looked for my keys. When I heard the squeal of tires, I looked up disbelievingly as the car barrelled toward me. How could anyone drive so fast in the confines of the Market? With a lurch of the heart, I realized the car wasn't going to slow down."

BOTTOM BRACKET is a compelling first novel, written with sensitivity and a matter-of-fact vision about the nature of poverty and the drug world. Abby Faria is a delightful heroine who stands still for no one and has a heart of gold. She is an obvious favorite within the confines of her world, and even her mother can't be angry at her. She is intelligent and hip, and her world quickly becomes the reader's as Meyer carefully leads us through Kensington Market's inhabitants, who form a funky co-op in watching out for one another.

Plot and action co-exist with Abby's thoughts as she races her way through her obligations and the realization that she is acting mostly alone. Abby steals our hearts as she solves the murder; helps her friends; and even befriends of the villains. An excellent first effort!

Awsome! Full of excellent color photos, and labeling. It's so good, I can look at it in my spare time rather than trying to drive to school and go into the lab and look at bones. A must buy!

I had to have this book for A&P I and II. This is one of the best books you can get!
