Richardson Books

I loved this. Every fan of college football should have this book. In fact, every football fan will enjoy reading the profiles of these winners. They range from names that everyone knows, like Alex Karras to ones you never heard of but the latter are as interesting as the former. Give this book to all your football fan friends for Christmas and be their hero.

Now that's what I'm talking about! A book about college football's OUTLAND TROPHY. I just found the perfect Christmas gift for my friends. 60 YEARS OF THE OUTLAND TROPHY by Gene Duffey. I could not put the book down on a flight from New York to LA. The OUTLAND TROPHY is very informative and well written.

A terrific read featuring stories for all the Outland Trophy winners - some forgotten players, recent winners, and unforgettable stars including Merlin Olsen and Alex Karras - almost all interviwed specifically for this presentation. NCAA football fans, particularly those that cheer for the underappreciated interior linemen, will love this book. Well crafted, thoroughly researched, and clearly presented.

The BFG is the Big Friendly Giant whose values get him in a heap of trouble among bigger and not-so-friendly giants. My kids LOVE this story that we originally borrowed from the library. When I saw amazon's great price, I had to buy 2. One for us and one to gift away. Roald Dahl is at his best here and as a teacher, I enjoyed pondering the potential geography lesson applications from this story. No matter why you buy it the book is loaded with teachable moments and lots of heart.

I gave this to my 7 year old grandson so he could listen to it before we went to a children's theater to see The Big Friendly Giant. He loved listening to the 4 hours of story, and because he knew the story and all the characters, the play really came alive for him. The actual book is above his reading level, so the tape was a good way for him to hear the story.

This CD is great! The reader does an awesome job with the voices of different characters. The book is wonderful. The two are combined, here, for great entertainment.

Very approachable; great easy-to-read story offering what i found to be a powerful moral message about kindess to animals specifically but easily empathizable across the species boundries.

The recommendation on this book is for readers too young to read the original book, but I think its wonderful for anyone of any age who loves this beautiful story.
Its beautifully illustrated and the graphic novel format leaves out none of the spirit or depth of the original.
A true pleasure to read.

I love this book Black Beauty: The Graphic Novel adapted by June Brigman and Roy Richardson and it's the great and the best book ever of and about a life story of a beautiful black horse with a white star and a white foot and I like horses and the color black and this is the best beautiful book adapted by June Brigman and Roy Richardson that's an abridged version containing over 49 chapters and the drawings and the writing is very great and that book almost looks like they would have made a movie out of it and that one should match up the 1994 version of Black Beauty starring Sean Bean.

My favorite character in this book is Joe Green, because at the end of Black Beauty, Joe becomes a man and one lucky day, he finds that horse he used to care for and gets excited when he said he had almost killed him so many nearly ten years ago at Squire Gordon's farm after coming back from the Doctor's.

The characters in this book of Black Beauty where Black Beauty's white foot is on the back in the left of the one of for this one of the few seven charcters out of this book just to tell you of what clothes they would wear and they are John Manly the coachman in a plaid green cap, white shirt, plaid vest of green and black, green riding jacket with yellow lining, brown riding pants and tall black leather riding boots, except in A Stormy Day, when John Manly would be in a different outfit when he would be in a black derby hat, white shirt, red tie, brown vest, black blazer, grey pants and tall black leather riding boots, then James Howard the stableboy in a plaid green cap, yellow shirt with blue stripes, plaid vest of green and black, light green scarf, brown riding pants and tall black leather riding boots, then Joe Green the stableboy after James leaves in a brown cap, white shirt, brown vest, grey riding jacket, beige riding pants and tall black leather riding boots, then Reuben Smith in black top hat, white shirt, black vest, blue riding jacket, black leather gloves, grey pants and tall black leather riding boots with brown tops, Alfred Smirk in a brown cap, light blue shirt, red tie, black vest, brown pants and short black leather boots, then Jerry Barker in a black derby hat, white shirt, black tie, black vest, black blazer, black pants, black shoes and in the winter Jerry is in a black derby hat, red scarf, white shirt, black vest, black blazer, long brown jacket, black leather gloves, black pants and black shoes and then Nicholas Skinner in a black top hat, black bowtie, white shirt, green vest, blue jacket, grey pants and short black leather boots and then in My Last Home when Joe Green becomes a man, Joe would be in a green cap, blue necktie, pink shirt, brown vest, blue blazer, beige riding pants and tall black leather riding boots and when Joe is in the low park cab with Miss Ellen, Joe is in a different outfit of a green cap, white shirt, black tie, black vest, white shirt, brown riding jacket, grey pants, and short black leather boots and that's very perfect for some of the few favorite characters out of this book of Black Beauty so you'd know what their clothing would have been like.

Those two different books of Black Beauty adapted by June Brigman and Roy Richardson and illustrated by Robert Doremus published and copyright in 1951 by Whitman publishing company goes very well and great with the Black Beauty (1994) DVD video starring Sean Bean and directed by Caroline Thompson and those two books would follow the movie very great because the real Black Beauty you ought to own is his white foot on the back in the left and that's how those two books adapted by June Brigman and Roy Richardson and illustrated by Robert Doremus matches the movie by Sean Bean.

At the end of the book, Black Beauty comes into the care of Joe Green with three kind ladies and Joe Green is proud to be home with him again. Black Beauty has a beautiful white foot on the back in the right in this book.

This book of Black Beauty - adapted by June Brigman and Roy Richardson goes great with the 1994 version of Black Beauty starring Sean Bean and those two both remind me of a book on Horses Cube book by Valeria Manferto De Fabianis, DVD videos on Yours, Mine & Ours starring Dennis Quaid, Disney's Where the Red Fern Grows starring Joseph Ashton, Black Beauty starring Sean Bean, The Last Cowboy (2003) starring Lance Henriksenand and The Great American Western, Vol. 21: Trouble in Texas/Call the Mesquiteers/Without Honor/Stampede all for some of the NFR years and that's what this means to me, a lot.

Two couples of chapters for Black Beauty are an example of The Fire and My Last Home.

The Fire

Later on that evening, another traveler's horse was brought in and cleaned by one of the hostlers and a man with a pipe in his mouth was talking to one of the hostlers.
"Towler," said the hostler, "you'll not smoke your pipe in the stables so just, first lay down your pipe and run up the ladder to the loft and drop some hay down here."
"All right," the man Towler said. He went up to the loft and put down the hay and I paid him no heed. James came into look at us one more time, and then the door was locked for the night and I went to sleep.
I awoke later in the night chocking, the air was all hot and thick.
I could hear Ginger coughing and a strange crackling noise that was terrifying me.
All the other horses were all awake, whinnying, pulling at their halters and stamping their feet in fear.
At last I could hear footsteps outside, and a hostler appeared with a lantern and tried to pull one of the horses out, but he was crazed with fear and wouldn't move.
No doubt we were very foolish, and the danger all around us and how could we trust someone?
A red light flickered on the wall, then someone outside shouted "fire! fire!" Then the old hostler who had cared for me that night came in quietly and led one horse out.
The flamed roared above us now, and the noise was very, very terrible. After a moment, the next thing I knew James was at my side when I heard his voice, quiet and cherry as always, whispering, "Come, my beauties, it is time for us to be off. Come along." I stood nearest the door, so he came to me first, patting me as he came in.
"Come, Beauty! It is time for us to be off. Come along." He put my bridle on in no time; then he took off the scarf from his neck and tied it over my eyes to calm me, and after some coaxing, he led me out. Safely when we were out of the burning stable into the yard, he slipped the scarf off my eyes and shouted, "Here, somebody! Take this horse while I go back for the other!"
A tall, broad man came and took me, while James raced back into the stable. I let out a shrill whinny as I watched him go. Ginger had told me afterwards that my whinny was the best thing I would have done for if she never heard me outside, she wouldn't have had the courage to come out.
There was a lot of confusion in the yard! There was a mess of carriages and horses and people shouting. Above all the noise I heard a loud, clear voice which I knew was Squire Gordon's.
"James Howard! James Howard! Are you in there?" I had whinnied at the sound of my master's voice, but there was no other answer.
Then suddenly, I heard a crash of something falling in the stable. The next moment I saw James appearing through the smoke, leading Ginger with him and I gave a loud, joyful neigh. Ginger coughed violently and he was not able to speak, but she looked all right.
"My brave lad! You hurt!" said Squire Gordon. "I am well, Squire," James said after he was able to speak. Then gazing at James, the big man who held me said, "Aye, he's a brave lad an no mistake about it."
"Let us get out of the way then, for I hear the fire engine coming!" There was a dreadful crash as the roof collapsed on the burning stable, and then we were away in the fresh night air.
The next morning we heard James and the hostler talking and James had looked very pleased that our master was proud of him.
The next day James told of the man who was seen entering the stable with a pipe, and exiting without it. It was thought that this was how the fire had started. I remembered our John Manly's rule never to allow pipes in the stables and thought it ought to be the rule everywhere.
James said that the roof and floor of the burning stable had fallen in and that only the walls were standing. There was two horses underneath the remains that could not be lead out that night.

If you were Joe Green with a moustache in My Last Home and saw Black Beauty again, you would say, "You have a scar on your back
like Black Beauty." Then you would be surprised and say "Beauty, is that really you? Don't you know me? I'm little Joe Green from Squire Gordon's stables. I can see you've had some hard times, Beauty and I must think so and I wonder who the nasty one was that scarred your knees, my old Beauty. You must have been treated horribly somewhere, but I'll make sure that you only have good times now. Now, I'm here, Black Beauty, I'm here. I swear I won't ever let you out of my sight again. Oh, Beauty ... You're safe now. I only wish John Manly would be here to see you, too, Black Beauty! I promise I'll take good care of you so your troubles are over."

That's a great line to say if you were Joe Green when you found Black Beauty again, the horse you raised and loved and it's white star on the forehead and his white foot on the back in the left.

The best 18 colour black and white illustrations that you might love to look at out of a book and love the best are:

I Lived in a Large Pleasant Meadow
My Master Took Me to the Smith
At Last After a Terrible Struggle Ginger Threw him off Backwards
I Just Knew that the Bridge Was Not Safe
"Come, Beauty! It is time for us to be off. Come along." He put my bridle on in no time; then he took the scarf from his neck and tied it over my eyes to calm me, and after some coaxing, he led me out
"Can I have Your Horse?"
Ginger reared suddenly and York had His Nose Roughly and Hard Hit and His hat knocked Off
Lizzie Took the Leap, Stumbled Among the Rough Clouds and Fell
"I Must Be Afraid to Have to Sell The Black One."
Poor Rory Was Speared With The Gig Shaft!
The Horse Fair was the Best Place
I Had never Been Used to London
"I'll Do All That Can Be Done, Sir."
Dolly Brought Jerry's "First Course"
"I'll Drive You safe to the Hospital."
"Come on, You Lazy Cruel, or I'll Beat You!"
The Farmer Looked at My Mouth
"You have a scar on your back like Black Beauty."

Those would be the best eighteen black and white illustrations to look at in the Black Beauty book and they would be your favourites for the slow years to slowly and slow come.

Black Beauty (1994) starring Sean Bean DVD is like the novel with the four of the real books on four different Black Beauty books of Adapted by Laura F. Marsh, Illustrated by James Needham, Illustrated by Robert Doremus and Adapted by June Brigman and Roy Richardson and because those four different books of Black Beauty would go great with the movie as the three matched up and go. The one illustrated by James Needham and adapted by June Brigman and Roy Richardson for sure goes great with the movie because of his white foot on the back in the left.

Black Beauty with actor David Gregory in the animated DVD is like the novel with the book of Black Beauty Illustrated by Scott McKowen would go great with the animated DVD version as it matched up with some of the Black Beauty books of illustrated in black and white by Edwin John Prittie and colour illustrations by Edward F. Cortese and the only one out of another one is Going for the Doctor colour illustration by Percy F. Spence and that for sure goes great with the animated movie because of his white foot on the front in the right and that's how it would be for the animated version.

From now on, my new favorite six Black Beauty books to live easier with the one of adapted by June Brigman and Roy Richardson is the other best five are Illustrated by Neil Reed - Published by Prospero books in 2001, Illustrated by Ian Andrew, Illustrated by Scott McKowen, Illustrated by G. P. Micklewright and Illustrated by Libby Turner - published by Brimax in 1985 and that's my best new favorite six books of Black Beauty to live and read with but, they are now the best real ones I would be in for the ones I like are the best and that's how I'll make my living that way.

Another real four favourites of Black Beauty I like are his white foot on the back in the left, another of his white foot on the front in the right and another one with three white feet of two on the front in the right and the left and the one in the hind left and also his white foot on the front in the left and that's my real four different favourites I like of Black Beauty and where his white foot will be.

Examples of my favorite horse of Black Beauty in different books of his white foot are:

Black Beauty's white foot on the back in the left in the different books of Adapted by June Brigman and Roy Richardson, Illustrated by Neil Reed - Published by Prospero books in 2001, Illustrated by Robert Doremus and Illustrated by James Needham. So that's where I would like to see Black Beauty's white foot on the back in the left for sure and for real.

Black Beauty's white foot on the front in the right in the different book of Illustrated by Scott McKowen. So that's where I would like to see Black Beauty's white foot on the front in the right.

Black Beauty with three white feet of two on the front in the right and left and the one in the hind left in the ones Illustrated by Ian Andrew and Illustrated by G. P. Micklewright. So that's where I would see Black Beauty with three white feet so his you would want it on the front in the right and the left, back in the left and if you see one white foot because of the three, you would say the one on the front in the left and that's the all time best horse ever to have.

Black Beauty's white foot on the front in the left perfect for the best one of Illustrated by Libby Turner - published by Brimax in 1985. So that's where I would like to see Black Beauty's white foot perfectly on the front in the left. That's the best one to ever own.

I loved, liked and enjoyed this book.

It is a GEM, I loved it and it's the greatest novel of all times of the greatest horse story ever told.

Of course, I am the sentimental type that gets all gooey-eyed at any of the great horse stories, whether on film or printed page. So, I was particularly struck by the earnest renderings of June Brigman and Roy Richardson in their labor of love and timeless beauty: Black Beauty. For any reading this who know not the tale, suffice it to say this will be an excellent, pithy and tasty introduction. The story moves right along and the illustrations capture the spirit of the age and of the plucky steeds portrayed. The little paperback format is an inexpensive way to introduce young readers to the story; and its simplicity will merit many repeat readings by those grandfatherly types - such as I - who love a little one in the lap for an evening's storytime, until one or both of us falls fast asleep! Get a whole case of these and pass them out to horselovers wherever you go! EXTRAS worthy of mention include a few pages devoted to June's adapive stylings, i.e. just HOW the little paperback was developed from her artist's perspectives. Too, you will find the sweet synopsis of the life of Anna Sewell very moving. Highest recommendation.

Along with Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa and George Rodger, David "Chim" Seymour was on of the founders of the photographer's collective, Magnum. I have known many of Seymour's images for many years. However, Seymour has always been overshadowed by the two great masters Cartier-Bresson and Capa.

This volume is the first comprehensive retrospective of Seymour's photographic work and features 150 images, many of which have never been seen before. From 1932 to 1956, Seymour was a chronicler of some of the world's most important historical events. His photographs do not have the sheer bravado and manic energy of Robert Capa or the crazy brilliance of Henri Cartier-Bresson. What sets David Seymour apart is the humanity of his images. His photographs of war orphans are some of the most powerful and deeply sad images that I have ever seen. Seymour was also a master but in a more subtle way.

I am so happy that I discovered this book. I knew that David "Chim" Seymour was a major artist of the Twentieth Century. This volume has allowed me to better understand his genius. Highly recommended.

This book is filled with incredible photographs, capturing the spirit of humanity (especially children), when the world around them isn't always so bright.

I was mesmerized at the depth of emotion that David Seymour's photographs reflect. This publication is truly an incredible work of art.

This book is a biographical gem. It reviews the life and photography of David Seymour in an understated style of writing which was the man himself; bald, spectacled, yet powerful in his humanity and in his skill at nurturing friendships with photography as a shared interest.He lived a romantic European life of high times and tragic personal losses including his own premature death in 1956.The photographs are brilliant. Foreground and background tell a story in many of the photos. It is not a book of nudes or still-lifes. It is more intimate than that.

See review under Garlic, Garlic, Garlic. This one features wonderful one-pot dishes that are the equal to those in their other books. Very fine, indeed!

"Cooking Under Cover" offers 175 internationally inspired soups, stews, braises, casseroles and accompaniments, with a 15-page section of color photos by Alan Richardson.

The authors ("Onions, Onions, Onions," winner of James Beard Award) prefer fresh, organically grown ingredients (including meat) and suggest wines and accompaniments. Chapters include desserts (Chocolate Pecan Bread Pudding, Maple-braised Plums, Figs and Blackberries) and appetizers (Rustic Terrine, Chinese Pot Stickers) as well as vegetable dishes (Curried with ginger and mint, Creamed Spinach), beans and grains (Red Beans with Spicy Sausage, Polenta with Mascarpone) and breads (Under-Cover Corn Bread).

But the heart of the book is meat. How about Chicken Stew with Virginia Ham and Cornmeal Dumplings, or Nana's Chicken Fricasee which includes veal meatballs? Or Veal Shanks with Braised Lentils and Caramelized Onions, Pork Chops in Plum Sauce, or a real four-day Sauerbraten?

While none of the dishes are difficult and instructions are straightforward, the authors' loving attention to detail makes the book especially suitable for cooking moods and entertaining.

They sure mean it when they call them one pot wonders. Who would have thought that soups and stews could be so sophisticated. I am someone who often makes various chili dishes, crockpot meals and casseroles because I like to save time, but I needed a new bag of tricks. I like how it is organized by main ingredient which helps when I have meat or vegetables that I don't know what to do with. They also have some great desserts and for novices like me, some help with the basics. This should definitely be a staple in the kitchen

This book combines great illustrations with the appropriate clinical imaging(be it x-ray, MRI or whatever) to understand the relationships between the imaging and the underlying gross anatomy. A great resource whether you are studying for gross anatomy class, your USMLE Step1 exam, or brushing up on your anatomy while on the wards.

A remarkable tool and extraordinary reference for anyone interested in studying, practicing, or teaching somatic education. As a GUILD CERTIFIED FELDENKRAIS PRACTITIONERcm, I found the surface anatomy pages particularly invaluable. The extraordinary illustrations on these pages enable one to view in precise detail the relationship between the surface landmarks of the body such the chest and shoulders and the specific bones which lie under these areas. Being able to view such a relationship is extremely helpful in my work. Indeed, these surface anatomy pages as well as the CT, MRI and x-ray images in Gray's Atlas of Anatomy provide a very clear and vivid idea of what lies beneath...

Richard Tibbitts is the medical illustrator to watch, the heir apparent to Brödel and Pernkopf. The authors of this book should thank their lucky stars to be blessed by Mr. Tibbitt's amazing artistic talent. Students using this book will cherish the rich educational experience afforded by the thoughtful, carefully planned illustrations that convey more knowledge in less time than thousands of words. Well done Mr. Tibbitts! Just when we think your work has reached the pinnacle, you again surprise us by outdoing yourself with another sublime and heroic masterpiece! The world is a richer place for your diligent efforts!

quest to understand where she came from and where she's going. This first person narrative has you hanging onto every word. You'll feel you were there with the main character, feeling her every emotion as the writer forces you to view the world through Amelia's eyes. Excellent word usage paints a mural of the South in a period where race indeed mattered. This is a must read! Waiting on the next release from this womanist author. Bravo!

You will have a hard time putting this book down. You are taken through Amelia's life and her search for who she is. The book flows like a well written song. This is an awesome triumph for a first time writer!

This book is adorable! Several references to artists who played at Woodstock. A cute book about a festival that is better known for its overabundance of sex and drugs. Anyway, I like it a lot.

This is a great book for reading with your kids! It allows for all kinds of opportunities for discussion, and the illustrations are bright and colorful. It fosters conversations about what it was like "when Mom and Dad were young", and brings up countless chances for parental guidance to be offered in the context of a little boy who just wanted to get out and see the world. I'm buying a copy of this book for my kindergarten-aged son's school library.

If you're a collector of children's books this is a must have. Through the eyes of a young child this book will take you back to the time that largely shaped our current culture. Our young character just wanted to put on his best bandana, grab his blankie and take off for the Woodstock Music Festival. His parents of course were less than understanding. This is a book that you can really share and explain to any young reader. Dust off the record player, pull out an old Jimi Hendrix LP and have some fun with this one.

Cindy and Penny virtually take you to Europe "on the spot" via their emails sent home.You will hear conversations with Europeans, questions they ask of Americans,and you will be seated at their tables tasting their delicious food. My favorite chapter is Italy, where the girls housesit for 3 wks in a Tuscan villa, gather olives for olive oil, hear Puccini opera in a vineyard, and meet the local Tuscans. The authors paint well their adventures in watercolors and words. If you love travel,real travel, from the ground up-and love to smile at two girls making the "best of it", this book is the real thing!

What an inspirational tale! How many of us have thought of leaving the security of our day-to-day lives to pursue a dream? How many of us have actually had the courage to do it?

Not only is this an inspirational tale of two women giving up their long-term careers and the security of their futures, but it is also a glimpse into the backroads of Europe as seen on a bicycle. The writing is great and the story compelling - five stars for this one!

I wouldn't normally read a book like this since the last thing I want to do is sell all my stuff and bike Europe in all manner of weather on $10,000 for one year. But the book is about risk, survival, and transcendence. It's a journal on steriods with great stories full of insight, pathos and humor. Borden and Richardson have a knack for picking out the right detail: Cindy being attacked by a Monkey who wanted her M & M's; learning Dutch after eating dogfood in Belgium; surviving accidents, downpours and steep grades, then returning home to begin new lives, this time doing what they want to do, not what they have to do. Oh yes, and I loved the delicate water colors Cindy painted to capture a whole experience in elegant simplicity. If you want a fun and inspiring read, this is the book.

Wonderful look into a deeper meaning of tea and what it means to others. Gorgeous photography helps lend emotion to the words. This is a lovely book.

This small but powerful volume is a delight. The photographs are both beautiful and inspirational and the sayings thought- provoking. Pull up a cozy chair, sip a rich, aromatic cup of tea and ponder the beautiful and diverse planet on which we live.

This was a gift from a dear friend. This was one book I couldn't lend, so I am going pay it forward and buy copies for my friends.

The Richardson's book, with photos by Shelley's husband, Bruce, is a deeply moving experience. The photos are so beautiful, revealing the faces and lives of those who pick our tea. And Shelley's poems accompany them perfectly, a deep meditative subject for reflection. I found this book by relating a story about Thich Nhat Hanh to the salesperson at my neighborhood tea shop. Thich had said that when we pray at the time of a meal, we should give a prayer of thanks to all those who have made it possible to have this food before us. I did this exercise with my grandsons recently, and counted at least 49 people from the beginning to the bowl of cereal and glass of juice they were eating! Deep! The salesperson walked me over to the book section and shared this book with me, which is the fulfillment of Thich's advice for the morning cup of tea, one page a day! Over and over again.

I gave this book as a gift to three of my tea devotees for the holidays, and they have expressed such deep gratitude - affected as I was. Have you noticed that I have used the word "deep" several times?! Yes, this book is steeped in deep! Enjoy!
