When I heard that Jay Westfaul, one of my good friends, had gotten his book published, I was very excited. I immediately ordered a copy. But instead of sitting down and reading it, other things prevented me from reading it for about three weeks. All I can say is this is a wonderful book, the story flows extremely well. I'm very proud to recommend this novel to everyone and am also proud to call Jay my friend. Kudos to you!!

This book was well written. I have never lived in Mississippi, just grew up hearing much of the same situations from my Grandparents and Great Grandparents in Florida. This book was great. I did not want to put it down. The book keeps your attention throughout the entire book. And, the faith, belief and the love of God in this book was truly inspiring. This is the type of book everyone needs to read, especially the ending where one can set aside his own pain to find forgiveness in his heart and to face all adversity and not allow it to stop anyone from pursuing their dream. Hats off to you Jay Westfaul and to your sister, Marcia MacLean for her art work.

What a wonderful book! I can't wait for Jay Westfaul to write another one. I grew up in the south and this book brought back so many memories of this era and all the turmoil that people faced. What a wonderful testament to the power of forgiveness! The characters, Henrietta (who I loved!), Jo Jack and Dent were so believable and although it's main focus was the seriousness of this time, Jay mixed a lot of humor in his book that just made me laugh out loud at times. Definately a great read!!!

Classic writing--loved illustrations by author's sister--MUST READ!

Saving Mississippi What a wonderful job the author did of creating characters that bring this story to life! The book is a valuable lesson of where Mississippi was and how times have changed. Who didn't cry when Mickey lost his parents? That's a sure sign the author was right on target and readers "knew" the Washington family. I especially liked the religious references and the personal faith illustrated by this family. Oh, the author's epilogue was further testimony of the power of the Savior. There are lessons to be learned from reading this book--powerful lessons!

Warren Brusee gets right into the thick of Six Sigma from the very beginning. The author discusses shortcuts and simpler methods than traditional Six Sigma processes that are equally as effective.

Statistics and Quantitative Methods have never been particularly friends of mine. This book is approachable, reads well, has very clear examples, and sample problems.

If you are looking for a book to introduce you to Six Sigma, and teach some very useful tools, make this the first book on the subject you buy.

Highly recommended!!

Brussee's Statistics for Six Sigma Made Easy is a wonderful "how to" text for six sigma stat tools that is very readable, and usable, by anyone with at least a high school level background in mathematics. He has done a great job of simplifying much of what a Green Belt would use from the Six Sigma toolkit, and he presents the material in a format highly conducive to application. The result is a valuable statistics manual for the Six Sigma implementer.

cute story about adoption

Review Date: 2007-09-12
Flying across the world to become part of a new family can be scary but wonderful at the same time, as told by a little boy in this story. I liked that it does star a boy rather than a boy, like many adoption stories do. The story is written in simple understandable language and the illustrations are soft but filled with detail to interest young readers. The little expresses some of his feelings about adoption and I am sure many young adopted readers will find themselves relating with his thoughts. This is a good one.

My 3 year old daughter adopted from China loves this book, she is a little too impatient for the written story nightly but requests the book over and over for the pictures-while she makes up her own story to go along with the pictures. She loves going on about the mommy and daddy in the story and how she had a picture book sent to her and then she flew on a plane just like in the story. She makes this story her own.

Children adopted overseas adore this story, regardless of their country of origin. It is especially helpful for children adopted at an older age.

Having a home and a permanent family is wonderful, of course. But older children don't know that when they come home. They are often angry at being uprooted and taken to strange new places, where people speak a foreign toungue. They are understandably frightened. So many new things in the early days assault their senses that days can seem like a lifetime.

This soothing story eases the pain of that transition. It helps them to know that they are wanted, waited for, and loved, even before they arrive. It eases the terrible pain of the transition. If you buy no other adoption story for your internationally adopted child, make it this one. Alyssa A. Lappen

I have an adopted daughter from Korea and we have many, many books on adoption. This is the best one I've found - it describes so well the experience my daughter, and we had, and makes me cry every time I read it.

As a parent of two wonderful Korean boys, this book is a fantastic story of a child's travel to be with his forever family. I read this book for the children's story at my church on my son's first Coming to America Day (the anniversary of his arrival) and the response was wonderful. My sons really enjoy listening to this story and it has provided an avenue for us to talk about their adoption adventure and the plane ride from Korea to the United States. I high recommend this book. It is a must own book for parents of international adoptees.

I am a collector of Luca Invernizzi Tettoni's work because ALL of them is a visual feast for the eyes. This talented man has a knack for details and never fails to capture the vivid and glowing nuances that represents the best of Southest Asia's style. Take it from me, living in the same environment, I sometimes take it for granted. This book is more than just a coffee-table piece, to complement the gorgeous photography , the text , written by various specialists, will enlighten you with well researched information on local crafts and traditions. It also shows the transformation that SEA architecture and interior designs have undergone; overall a fascinating mix 'n' match of vernacular designs and contemporary style.

Truly Gorgeous Overview of Tropical Asian Luxe

This is an excellent look at the best examples of tropical Asian luxury living.

It is not a detailed exploration of regional design elements (look to Bali Style, Thai Style, Tropical Garden Design, et al, for the next degree of depth). It is, however, a rich overview of the best of SEAsian luxury architecture and furnishings.

Every page is simply gorgeous, with photos "bleeding" out past the paper, one trait of a good coffee table or style book. There is little or no image repetition in the coverage of the homes or boutique hotels featured, and each photo is perfectly focused, every composition seen in its best light.

In all the shuffle of Thai grandeur, Balinese earthiness, and Malaysian simplicity, the book might at first glance seem to be presenting a kind of fusion. I think it's fair to say that there is plenty of contemporary blurring of the distinctions between regions, but the reader can also look for regional elements and quickly learn them. Each property is given its own mini-chapter, which helps a lot. And the regional details and sensibilities really come alive when you read the accompanying texts, which are the work of expert style writers.

In fact, the contributors list reads like a who's who of style gurus. There is the clever and quippy Made Wijaya, descriptive Diana Darling, the meticulous William Warren, and details-minded Robert Powell. It's a great read!

My dream is to be surrounded by teak and orchids, eating curry and sipping lime juice, and not owning any sort of time piece. Since that isn't going to happen for several more years I bought this book. I am neither a designer nor a photographer so my only input is how this book makes me feel. I have come to love Southeast Asia after several all too brief trips to the region and Tropical Asian Style, specifically Tettoni's photos, has brought some life to my dull suburban living room. And, while I realize that this book comprises several distinct cultures, it is the overall effect, not any particular region, that is so overwhelmingly beautiful. If you feel trapped in your American workaholic routine, this book is a wonderful diversion.

After reading it, I wanted to knock down every wall in my house. Or at least remove the window glass. My next house will definitely be designed based on the rooms in this book.

I didn't read much of the text because the pictures were so captivating. They show every aspect of the tropical Asian house, except perhaps kitchens, which seem to be nothing more than a stove-type device near the dining area. The predominant theme is living among nature and even inviting it to share the living space with you (or is it the other way around?). Instead of windows and doors, you see slatted screens and netting. Very romantic. And a far cry from most of America's obsession with locks and glass. I need to move......

If you like McMurtry, you'll like this book. Sometimes the plot gets a little thin, and there are one too many coincidences for me, but it moves forwards so quickly you overlook any minor flaws. There was some very nice character development -- you can tell the author is doing a good job when a character's death gets to you.

Edward Turrentine Bayard III is one character that truly comes to life from the pages. For about the first 50 or so pages, I just enjoyed the humor of the story and the witty writing style. Then the book really started to set in. Behind the humor, the wild & interesting characters and circumstances, one begins to see a view of American history from a new angle. The trip down the coal mine, the "marriage" of Avelina and Tilfert, the stay in the Chicago slums, and the brutal time on the frontier provide a compelling panorama of this time in America's history. At times, I just had to shake my head with "this is just too over the top" -- but then it all seemed to fit.

And, I so agree with other reviewers that the last chapter pulls everything together in such a satisfying way. As someone who has heard many a story told by an elderly person, the author sums up memory perfectly: "Never is being so permanent as in yesteryear, when...soft memory solidifies into story, and in that solid form, rejects the anguish of reality..... If we exist at all after we are gone, it will be as a story."

Turpentine is funny, interesting, and just a wild ride that will make you smile and think.

I am normally in agreement with the old saying "you can't judge a book by it's cover." Spring Warren's Turpentine is definately an exception to that rule. I knew the minute I saw the cover of this book with it's majestic buffalo head staring out onto a golden plain that I had to read it. I bought the book without a second thought. I was not dissapointed. What a page turner! Spring Warren's novel is full of interesting characters and is anything but predictable. I highly recommend this fantastic novel.

Turpentine is a novel that embodies many happy surprises: colorful characters, language so beautiful, shimmering and skillful that it seems almost water painted onto the canvas of the page, and a final chapter that not only concludes the story of Edward Turrentine Bayard, but somehow deepens it.


The unique characters Warren has developed and the outrageous circumstances that they find themselves in make this book a page-turner from start to finish. The reader cannot help but reflect through the hardships of Ned "Turpentine" the impacts that our choices emboss on our lives and on the lives of those we are entwined with. Even if the reader is not a fan of the Western genre, this is a novel that embodies the best of the Western while transcending it further to an exploration of the best and worst in the human condition.

Genius in 140 Characters or Less

Can Twitter really help make you a better marketer? Maybe even a better person?

Seriously, how much is there really to say about a goofy web tool that only lets you messages up to 140 characters at a time?

After reading Twitter Revolution, I realize a LOT!

While I had messed around with Twitter for about a year, I really didn't get much out of reading about what a bunch of strangers ate for breakfast. I felt even less motivated to post response to "What are you doing?" If I didn't really care what I was doing half the time, why should anyone else?

Then I realized, much of the time what I was doing was reading books about social media. The silly book on even sillier Twitter seemed to be one of the only ones left. My guess is that if I could sit still long enough to read Gravity's Rainbow or the Glass Bead Game, I never would have ordered the Twitter Revolution. Now, I'm so glad that I did.

Warren Whitlock and Deborah Micek opened my eyes to a world that I am now arguably obsessed with; one where ease of access to seemingly superficial engagement with others is a bridge to deeper connections.

From a business perspective, using Twitter the way Whitlock and Micek describe makes "Permission Marketing: Turning Strangers into Friends and Friends into Customers" a reachable reality by beginning with simple ways to earn trust, learn more about each other and provide potential solutions to problems. Bringing a real voice [one that doesn't try to divide "professional" from "personal"] to ongoing conversations is refreshing and exciting.

I now better recognize Twitter as an amazing tool for doing just that and much more.

My initial impression of Twitter was negative. It seemed to me to be a huge waste of time that could honestly be better spent. I then had the pleasure o attending a seminar with "CoachDeb" (Deb Micek, one of the authors of the book.) who succeeded in getting me interested in Twitter enough to give it a try.

I found Twitter to be an effective tool for communication and business. In fact, I liked it so much that my friends started suggesting that they needed to send a Twitter Intervention team to get me off the thing. Twitter is fun and addictive and, if used effectively, it can positively impact both your business and personal life. This book is the tool you need to take advantage of Twitter.

THe book is an easy read..I read it over a 4-1/2 hour plane flight and has information you can put immediately into use. I highly recommend it.

Do you wonder what Twitter's all about? Have you created your account, but still don't "get it"? Well this book is for you!

I created my first Twitter account in July, just to see what all the commotion was about. I quite honestly didn't get it! Fortunately I somehow stumbled upon the "Twitter Handbook", which is the primer for the "Twitter Revolution". That changed everything! Now Twitter is a fundamental part of my social and business life.

"Twitter Revolution" is a must read!

This book touches upon many issues and subjects, including the wisdom of a 92 year old black man. The power is in the story of how a middle-aged white man, open to new relationships and seeking to learn from others, develops a deep affection and respect for a man many might see only as an aged black man. Through transparency, vulnerability, perseverance, and faithfulness to the relationship building process Mr. Warren reaps the benefits of the development of a very special new friend. Learning from Dr. Mayberry's wisdom, Warren discovers, unexpectedly, that he was racially prejudiced, and must confess to Mayberry and deal with that reality in his own heart and with Dr. Mayberry. It caused me to ask probing questions about my own prejudices, and not just racial ones.

In spite of all the prejudice Dr. Mayberry has experienced in his lifetime, he remains an American optimist particularly concerning cross-cultural relationship and especially black-white relationships. That optimism is reflected in Dr. Mayberry's statement "this is a new day for America". Is it? At the micro level, I am well aware of black-white relationships that are deep and respectful. But is that true at a macro level? I would like to think that it is becoming truer. The reader is invited to ponder that and many other thought provoking ideas from the mind and life of Dr. Mayberry.

Finally this book points, briefly, to the power of, and thus the need for, mentoring as we come to understand that Dr. Mayberry's mentor was George Washington Carver, and Dr. Carver's mentor was Booker T. Washington - great men passing their intellectual and humanitarian legacy onto the next generation. It begs the question for older men and women to ask: What is my legacy? Is it worth passing on? If it is, am I doing it?

Are you concerned about challenging yourself?
Where Will We Be When We Get Where We're Going?: Thursdays with Mayberry by M. Anthony Warren, in my humble opinion is a read that all of us should share and discuss. A well thought provocative discussion of these two gentlemen and their relationship will inspire you, and yet it will be a challenge for you to act upon its content. This book is for the young and old alike; no matter what depth of color, or lack of color your skin may be.
If anything, it will indeed self question your own thoughts and beliefs of human kind, your own culture, whatever race or ethnicity you may belong. We should only become better persons, with and for each other, when we challenge this books content.

Where will we be when we get where we're going deals with relationships and moral dilemas. Dr. Mayberry is the wise professor, who has educated students in the academics and has shown them how to live productive lives by giving back. The author Mr. Warren has become the late in life student on how to live life. The story brings together history and relationships and how society has changed, in some ways positive, eg. civil rights movement, and other ways negative, the elderly in America and how we toss them aside.

The history aspect of the book, Dr. Mayberry being the student of George Washington Carver, and George Washington Carver, the student of Booker T. Washington reflect one on one education with some of the greatest scientists produced in the US. These men were the backbone of the creation and future of Tuskegee University. They play an important role not only in Black history, but in science. (how likely is this style of education going to happen in American universities today)

The relationships discussed in the book relate to everyone; young and old, red, yellow, black and white, male, female, etc. How am I relating to others and they to me? How do relationships effect the future of our society. This book made me stop and rethink where will I be..

Warren Bull's "Abraham Lincoln For the Defense" takes the reader to another time and place in our past history. Once you start reading about the actual murder and the trial that ensued, you will not be able to put the book down . One can feel/sense the push from the towns people for satisfaction and vengence. It was interesting to see how society has not changed all that much. So many people push to blame and accuse while not all the facts are brought out. Mr. Lincoln would not relent until he was sure of a fair tail. This was a great book because of the suspense it created and the escape into another time in our history. If you love murder mysteries, this is a must read!

My book club read this and it generated quite a discussion about how the English language has evolved since Lincoln's time. Older and younger people both had opinions. Some people liked the romance, some liked the suspense and we all enjoyed the Lincoln stories and jokes. I especially liked it that the author included the original letters written by Lincoln that the mystery was based upon.

This book brings alive a true story involving Abraham Lincoln as a young lawyer. Warren Bull puts you in close contact with the people and the social attitudes of 1841. You will find yourself smiling, and maybe a laugh, at the humor that is throughout the book.
Warren Bull shows the reader how the law was perilous at times. The story unfolds in a way that keeps the reader in suspense trying to anticipate what will happen next. I couldn't stop reading it and would recommend it to anyone who likes mystery or history.

Warren Bull's "Abraham Lincoln For the Defense" is an excellent book to pick up and read when you want that "great escape." The descriptive narratives pull the reader back in time and create an environment that makes one feel as if he or she is living in 1841. There is a cast of characters whose actions illict a wide range of emotions in the reader, from admiration to disgust. And the story is captivating and moves quickly, particularly after the opening events take place.

This trial is unlike any that would happen today because of the speed at which it moves. Part of the thrill is the sense of hasty vengeance that the townspeople encourage in their actions and words, making a "fair trial" quite a challenge for Lincoln and his defendants. Here is evidence of society making quick judgements and demonstrating only too human desire to make "right" from "wrong."

I enjoy books that create suspense, envelope the reader in another time and place, and generate unexepcted consideration of other points of view. Yet this book also contributes to a historic body of knowledge. Through a very pleasant mixture of fact and fiction, Warren Bull has created such a book, and I think readers will enjoy taking this step backwards in time and reflect on the ways human being have changed and yet have not changed at all. An additional plus are the reproductions of documents written by Lincoln and included as optional readings in the Appendix. I enjoyed reading Lincoln's take on the events of the trial after having read the author's interpretation of one possible solution to the mystery.

I'm a big fan of books about Abraham Lincoln - from Carl Sandburg's classics to William Safire's "Freedom." Few, if any biographers are able to capture the lighter, wry, and whimsical side of Lincoln, tempered of course with his wisdom in the way Warren Bull is. From the opening exchange with his children, the Lincoln portrayed by Bull is full of humor, warmth, wisdom and, of course, justice. Bull's Lincoln is a folksy young lawyer, not yet a politician and not yet well known outside of Springfield. He is still establishing his reputation as a spellbinding courtroom attorney. The case he is presented in Abraham Lincoln for the Defense is no easy one to defend and is such a true mystery that it continued to puzzle Lincoln years later. The puzzle is only half of the enjoyment of this short novel, however. The author has done a marvelous job of capturing the language and ambiance of the era. Every conversation and every point of view expressed in the story seems to fit mid 1800's America. To read Abraham Lincoln for the Defense is to take a trip into the past. The story is peopled with interesting characters and even includes a romance. And although the case is settled by the end of the novel, the bulk of the details remain a mystery. It's a great read fans of both mysteries and historical novels.

Ms. Meagher's book is well documented, insightful and detailed. She skillfully takes the reader through discrepancies in the Warren Commission report and lays it all out for the reader. Her conclusions are based on facts that are very clearly presented, and on common sense. At no time did I get the impression that this book was attempting to influence my views on the work of the Warren Commission. Ms. Meagher spells it out for the reader step by step.

An excellent, thought provoking Book!

Reading this book makes you wonder how many police departments and courts actually did what they were supposed to back in the 1960s, and how they're doing today. Ms Meagher does an excellent job breaking down the Warren Commission's report and demonstrating that their synopsis of events is based on multiple errors, misstatements, and wishful thinking. Having come out before most of the "conspiracy theory" genere that surrounds JFK assassinations tories today, Ms. Meaghers book stands above all of them. She refuses to let her book wander into sensationalism, does not implicate UFO's or any such things, nor does she mix in photos which claim to show the truth but are often blurry, grainy or totally unrevealing to the lay reader. Instead, she stays on target, picking apart the Warren Commission's flawed analysis with nimble wit and skill.

Bring this book back in print!

Of all the books about the JFK assassination, why is ACCESSORIES AFTER THE FACT out of print? If you want to read books on how the Norweigian mob hired hitmen from the Planet Glixorg and had the assassination covered up by their media insider, Soupy Sales, there are dozens of books. But the one book to take a serious look at the Warren Commission's Report, to pick apart its inaccuracies, and to analyze its contradictions, is becoming harder and harder to find. Even Gerald Posner, in his tantrum, CASE CLOSED, could not lay a finger on the late Sylvia Meagher's masterwork. Why? Because it is a precise, unimpassioned, and brilliant piece of exploratory surgery on a very sick Warren Report. This book proves the Commission had a single purpose, and finding the truth was not that purpose. The lack of access to Sylvia Meagher's ACCESSORIES AFTER THE FACT is, to me, a tragic mistake and possible proof of a continuing cover-up.

Back in the early 70s I worked on Capitol Hill as a legislative aide on a Senate Commitee trying to reopen the Kennedy assassination or generate support for a House investigation. This was in the post-Garrison era and the credibility of anyone challenging the Warren Commission was suspect. (We now know that many of Garrison's failings were due to sabotage, but back then he was still radioactive to Senators, Representatives, and their staffs.)

Anyway, after all the backlash following the Clay Shaw acquittal it was still a tough sell, and the typical Congressman would give you no more than 5-10 minutes time to make your case, so we needed a one or two page list of powerful bullet points demonstrating that Oswald could not have acted alone, if he acted at all, and showing that the Warren investigation was compromised by the FBI and the CIA. These were serious allegations, so each
point had to be backed up by solid proof.

At the time, there were 5-6 serious books damning the Warren Commision Report: Inquest, by Edward J Epstein; Rush to Judgment by Mark Lane; Six Seconds in Dallas by Josiah Thompson; Whitewash by Harold Weisberg; and They've Killed the President by Robert Sam Anson.

In creating that fact sheet, no book was more carefully documented than Accessories after the Fact, and no book was more comprehensive and meticulous.

When we had to source each bullet point Meagher's book did the best job in directing us to the proof.

I left the Hill in 76--before the HSCA was created, and it has always bitter disappointment to me how its own work appears to ha ve been sabotaged, not unlike what happend to Garrison.

In the years since I have retained a keen interest in this topic, and at last count have read over 40 books. Meagher's book still remains one of the two or three best books written about JFK's death. In fact I consider it one of the best forensic investigation reports I have ever read in 25 years of practicing civil rights litigation.

This book is a "must have" for breeding farms, whether you are just starting out or a veteran breeding farm manager. It is an excellent reference book, easy to read, lots of pictures and great practical advice from setting up a breeding farm to handling a foal.

This is the best book I've ever read on Equine Reproduction.

I've read many books regarding Equine Reproduction and this is by far the best book I have encountered. It covers all aspects of breeding and foaling. My copy was given to me by my mentor, to her by her mentor, and to her by her mentor. I have loaned it to many friends expecting a foal and make all of my foaling attendants read the foaling section. This book is a must for anyone who is contemplating breeding their mare or just curious about the miracle of life. Buy the book and you'll enjoy it as much as I have.

This is an excellent source of information for breeding horses. It gives terrific information on stallion and broodmare management. It also gives information on diseases affecting the reproductive system in both mares and stallions. The foal development part of the book is also very informative and interesting. It discusses the different stages of foal development from the time of conception to the time of birth.

My friend gave me this book about 10 years ago. I had hoped that there was a newer edition out. I think every breeder should have this book on hand. It tells you everything you need to know about what to do if there is a problem with foaling. Easy to understand drawings of foal's positions and details about what to do if there is a problem. This could be a life saver if you ever have a problem. You don't have time to read and try to figure out what they are talking about. The pictures say it all and tell you how to reposition the foal and when to get the vet to do it. Many helpful feeding information charts on hays and grains, what size to expect your horse to grow up to be, lots of information of potential diseases, how to handle your new foal, feeding your nursing mare. Etc. Well worth the money.

Very Paractical.

This is a great book that deals with all the aspects of owning/operating a breeding farm. There is more to professional breeding than having a few ponies in the backyard. I especially found the cost analyses and tax examples very useful.
