Richardson Books

This is, quite possibly, the only book on the subject that I can actually understand. The book is written like the author is talking directly to you, guiding you through the whole learning process. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. For the price, this is definantly a must buy.

How many of us were raised by someone who was a survivor of childhood traumas? Sometimes even happy and successful adults find that their parents' early experiences have influenced the quality of their lives. One's life view and personality dynamics are deeply rooted in the models provided by parents, as well as by one's own personal experience.

 This is the story of how a woman's nightmare childhood and the residual emotional damage affected her life and the lives of those around her throughout the years. The author weaves this story together with her own inspirational growth leading to the retrieval of her mother's soul loss. Both Sides of the Tapestry will provide the reader with glimpses of how subtle childhood influences and experiences can be revealed and healed in the past, present and future.

Descriptions of the author's insights from workshops at the Monroe Institute are included.

a concise, romantic and witty portait of the most cosmopolitan of englands towns, they call it london by the sea, really london should be referred to as brighton-on-thames.

a must for anyone who loves brighton and anyone who misses it. to read this book is to take you back to where your heart is. if you have never been to brighton the book will attract you, but the town will grab you, sneak into your heart and never leave, always drawing you back.

if you don't like the book, or even don't like brighton, then all of us here will be much the better for you staying away.

The story line here is simple. The little helicopter, Budgie is called upon to go on a rescue mission to help a lady who is about to have a baby. It is during a winter snow storm and there are dangers!

This little story is really quite well written. The author's syntax is very easy to follow and the story moves right along which keeps the little ones pretty well glued to the pages as you read them. The art work by John Richardson if very good and, for this type of book, very detailed. This is a fun book to read to the class and it is one that I note the kids continually pick out to read on their own, which is, after all, the best indorsement a children's book can get. Recommend this one highly.

Building Jewish In The Roman East is a scholarly study of ancient Jewish archaeology in the Mediterranean, particularly in small rural villages in Galileein the early Roman period, the development of synagogues as "Jewish associations", and the rush of construction under Herod the Great in the first century BCE. Extensively researched chapters scrutinize tombs, the historical significancd of Biblical events such as Jesus' protest in the Temple Precincts, architectural transitions from synagogues and house churches to purpose-built churches, and much more. An inset selection of color plates rounds out this fascinating, unique, and in-depth examination of historic Jewish architectural designs and motives.

This book tells the Bible stories from an inspired viewpoint. It reviews the familiar stories for those who have read the Bible and tells the story to those who have not read it. It will encourage those latter people to look into the pages of the Bible itself for confirmation and further inspiration.

This book shows the promise of salvation for all and the Love of God for all people.

The photographs are amazing. The text is in depth.
It works as a coffee table book for a flip through, as a historical reference for Churches of Canada and their stories or as a good read from cover to cover.
A great great book.

This biography of the colorful 19th century activist, statesman and politician who worked most of his life to make slavery illegal in the USA seems mostly to stay with facts and avoid speculation - as tempting as speculation can be when all of the facts are not known. The book was well-researched over a long period. In part, it emplasizes CM Clay's influence on Abraham Lincoln regarding his political stances on emancipation. I found it a very interesting and easy read - its only about 150 pages. Great for those who want substance not fluff but aren't looking for ponderous details.

Being a public speaker, I was looking for ways to grow in my speaking skills. The Charisma Factor provided me with the tools to stir an audience into action. It is not by manipulation, it is by harnessing some of the well researched principles discussed in the book such as, entrainment, vocal synchrony, and sensory stimulating language to effectively impact your audience. If you work on using the principles in this book, you will communicate on a deeper level with those you come in contact with.

I admit it, I collect books and am a railroad junkie, especially interested in the 1930s through 1950s. This book came as a surprise, given the Colorado photos on front and back covers, and the subtitle reference to Colorado Railroad Museum.
In fact, Chasing Trains covers much more than Colorado - many other parts of the US, Mexico and Central America, and Iran, all places where the author traveled starting in the 1920s (he was born in 1910) and ending in the mid 1990s.
He describes his addiction to railroads, traveling to and on all types. The writing is excellent (though photo captions often repeat material already in the text). The photos are excellent, and for the most part unique: his photos on his unique travels.
I also enjoyed his Colorado materials, mostly about narrow gauge, that comprise perhaps 1/3 of the book.
Want to take a train ride "in the good old days?" Try this book, along with Burt Blanton, 400,000 Miles by Rail, and William Middleton, "Yet There Isn't A Train I Wouldn't Take." For great photos but narratives not always strictly wedded to fact, Lucius Beebee also must be included.
