It is essential that every child and mother should own Wee Sing Bible Songs!

Great Collection of Childrens Christian songs.
Helpful Votes: 33 out of 34 total.
Review Date: 1998-06-10
In preparing music for childrens programs, this book/cd collection is a great way to get started. The book contains the music for many traditional childrens songs. It has guitar chords and melody notation for all songs. For songs in a difficult key for beginng guitarists, it has alternative chord combinations to make playing easier. I purchased the CD version of the package so I can listen to a particular song without having to search for it on the tape.

One of the things that children really enjoy about this collection of songs is the hand motions/actions for many of the songs.

This was a great collection for an amature guitarist like myself to use to prepare childrens music for a variety of programs.

I bought this book last summer, and while other teens were reading more popular books, I was reading a history book. It has really changed my outlook on western history. I have always been interested in the Oregon Trail, and such, but this has really encouraged me to read more of her books, and otheres like it. Y'all have got to read this book!!

Lively, entertaining, informative & readable.

The women of the early American West played a significant role in history, but many of their stories went untold, their voices unheard -- until this book. It's so readable, so filled with glimpses of lives and dreams, it's hard to put down. Who can forget Shell Flower, the Native American girl who thought white people were owls when she first saw them; or Mary Richardson Walker, struggling to be free yet fit the mold of the "True Woman"; or Lalu Nathoy, who sailed to America from China dreaming of fortune, only to be sold into prostitution. Or Esther Morris, the uppity woman who helped make Wyoming the first territory or state to grant voting rights to women. The book is crammed with memorable characters: the sporting women of Colorado who wore yellow satin and hid their pain with opium, the wild women like Calamity Jane and the French gamblers in California, the homesteaders, basket weavers, quiltmakers, each with a story of courage, hilarity or heartbreak. The book has recipes, letters, photographs, and songs. It's like a patchwork quilt, each piece a bit of priceless history.

Luftwaffe Ace: 1940 to Bodenplatte
Helpful Votes: 0 out of 0 total.
Review Date: 2008-01-19
This is a very enjoyable historical novel about a Luftwaffe fighter pilot during WW2. It is fiction for mature readers, obviously very well researched, and is as gripping a read as many of the autobiographies of the real Luftwaffe pilots that I have read. (eg. Heilmann, Hannig, Knoke. If you know and appreciate these titles I feel you are sure to enjoy this novel)

The story covers the young combat pilot's first sorties against the British during the Battle of Britain, moves to the Eastern Front where he hones his 'trade' and also touches on the air-fighting during the Defense of the Reich and culminates in the Bodenplatte attack. It reveals an interesting look at the propaganda machine behind the aces, and the sometimes insatiable drive for victories and scores among Luftwaffe aces. Interwoven with the descriptions of operations, pilots and personal vs. military politics is an unforgettable love story which does not detract from the impact of the book for air combat enthusiasts. If you have read and enjoyed Len Deighton's "Goodbye Mickey Mouse" you will find "Ace" a similar spin on the pilots and operations but from the perspective of the other side of the channel.
I loved it, found it to be well researched historically and technically and have re-read it many times. I would recommend it to anyone interested in stories about the pilots of the Luftwaffe.

Review Date: 2001-02-07
This is a wonderful book, full of wit and sparkle. After being a huge hit over several printings, it's been unavailable except for collector copies for many years, so it's great to find it again, at least in audio form. If you haven't encountered Sue Spencer and her quirky sense of humor about her family's life in the African bush, you've missed a delight. The narrator does a good job with the tales, although her British accent isn't quite as appropriate as a Southern one would have been, for this Alabama-born author's style.

AIRCRAFT CARRIERS: AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF THEIR IMPACT is a recommended pick for any specialty military history or aviation collection: it surveys the evolution and operation of the aircraft carrier that changed naval operations and weapons delivery. No casual survey, this probes ship specifications, changing uses of vessels, and covers their evolution from the first carrier deployments in World War II to their role in the Persian Gulf. An excellent survey which will serve as a foundation title and introduction for any serious college-level military library.

Like most Americans, I was devestated by the events of September 11. The poems these poets present gave me such inspiration. The poems helped me sort through my feelings and gave me a sense of hope that our country would prevail through this and any other adversity. I would recommend this poetry book to anyone who feels a sense of loss since September 11.

Good Things Come in Small Packages
Helpful Votes: 18 out of 18 total.
Review Date: 2001-04-20
Compared with the many competing books on the legal needs of the elderly, this handy guide's most compelling virtue is its brevity. In a volume about the size of a short paperback novel, the authors manage to concisely review the legal rights of older persons under the major government programs and federal statutes. In clear, jargon-free prose, the book steers readers through the ins and outs of the Big Three federal programs-Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. The authors also explain other legal areas of frequent concern to older Americans, including age discrimination laws, retirement income rights, consumer protection statutes, estate planning tools, grandparents' rights, reverse mortgages, and the rights of the disabled.

On all these topics, the guide gives readers just enough information to make an informed decision on what to do or where to turn next. Frequent checklists, boxes, and lists of contacts help break up the text and provide useful reference tools. This area of the law is constantly evolving, so it's no surprise that a few things have changed since the book was published in 1998. Nevertheless, the guide will give seniors and their families a solid grounding in the areas that concern them the most without taking up much space in a briefcase or handbag.
