T.W. White was one of the first Airmen involved in the Mesopotomian Campaign in WWI. An Australian--he and some of his comrades were the first to answer the call for providing aerial support to the ground offensive in Mesopotamia. However, his tour of duty was cut short after being captured in a daring behind the lines effort.
The majority of the book centers on his captivity and eventual escape towards the end of the war. WHite's insights on his captivity are important; he was captured well before the fall of Kut, where the Turks had to deal with thousands of prisoners from the siege.
Interesting anecdotal stories abound throughout the book. GOod page turner.

This is a gorgeous book with great photos and easy to understand beginners tips as well as more advanced instructions for the novice. It includes the description of many genus with beautiful, full color illustrations. It includes a background history, a growing guide, reference section, and other interesting facts.

As someone who is appalled by the passive learning and hypocricy inherent and unchallenged in our educational system this book was an INSPIRATION to me. I found a copy several years ago at a thrift store in Chicago and among other things the book inspired me to create a radical student action committee at Teachers College Columbia University (oh let's just say they HATED me at TC). This book is the incredible account of two "hippy" sociology professors who challeneged the ENTIRE educational system and attempted to create classes that fostered "active" relevant and meaninful learning for their students. They refused to assign grades to assignments and generally ruffled LOTS of feathers! At one point, one of the co-authors publicly burned his doctoral dissertaion instead of handing it in. The best part of the book is the account of how they responded to then Governor Ronald Reagan's attempts to censor a work of nude student sculpture. The authors created a class called "The Myth of Obscenity" in which they set up three projectors: one showing a police training film, one showing a 7th grade sex education film and another showing a porno film - these images were projected side by side for their students while live naked models approximated the poses of the nude sculptures that Reagan had banned from campus. Needless to say, they were canned shortly thereafter. What an INCREDIBLE little book! If you can find this at your library or Salvation Army store or here at Amazon - PLEASE read this book!

This book was a great read and i am looking forward to the second book.

This fast-paced and moving book is beautifully written. Robertson's psychological insights are fascinating. I am ever more amazed at the breadth of Ms. Robertson's knowledge and expertise.
Get yourself a copy of this book if you want a compelling, intriguing and chilling read!

This is aimed at younger readers, but I found it well written, an engrossing romp through the unpopulated areas of North Central Pennsylvania. Set in 1861, and based on fact, the authors weave a captivating tale of uneducated backwoodsmen going off to fight in the Civil War. The title comes from the men not knowing left from right, so to teach marching, hay was tied to left foot, straw to right. An excellent first novel for these writers.

This book chronicles the adventures of the Hypotenuse, a funny two-headed creature, called Headwun and Headtwo, and its friends Andy the anteater, Greenfrog, and Mousefink. Together these animals have lots of amusing adventures in the forest. This book is very entertaining for young children, and is still fun for older children and adults to read also. Unfortunately it is now out of print and difficult to find.

Robertson is an excellent critic who tells the story of Heine's life and also provides analysis of his major works. He also considers the question of Heine's Jewish identity and committment.

Wonderfully researched! ex: Most Christians are familiar with "The Man from Arimathaea" who gave his tomb for Jesus's burial, but have you ever heard "the rest of the story?" By researching the secular documents of the times and comparing them with the Bible and other writings, a more complete picture can be drawn. This book covers the new computer analysis and recent learned study of ancient documents intelligently. It is written for the layman. I highly recommend it to any history buff or Christian who wants to know more!

This modern crime thriller had real pace from the first to last page. By combining very different locations (Jamaca, South London and Scotland in grip of winter) and colourful local characters Robertson managed to create a number of very memorable images in a tightly written story.

The novel raises some thought provoking social issues about our multi-racial society. It does so very much in the context of the plot so that this is not a distraction but a logical sub-text.

The novel left me keen to know more about how the main characters develop in future.
