Lincoln Books

Mary Lincoln founded the Boston Cooking School. Her book contained the lessons and recipies. There are lessons on how to build a fire in a wood stove and explainations of proper diet for the "sick room" as well as a complete discussion on wheat, yeast and bread making. Learn "how a new housewife without near neighbors" can make her own yeast for her breadmaking. This was the first cookbook to use standardized measurements. In addition, the advertisments put an interesting historical perspective on many of our familiar brands. Mary Lincoln hired Fanny Farmer to be the school's principal. Fanny put out a second edition under her own name without any credit to Mary Lincoln....

Given Gordon's background, he is THE authority (and luckily THE brasilianist) to write such a piece.

I was a AMAZED by the ammount of good documentation and multiple sources quoted in the text from almost every possible source. Only improvement here is that it seems that the wave of info available on the Internet caught the author by surprise (it could have been much more up-to-date).

One can hardly expect a foreigner to have a deeper understanding of brazil's history than the person who was the US ambassador for several years, and a self-declared brasilianist. A grain of salt comes from the fact that pro-US, pro-trade behaviors and positions are an obvious consequence of Gordon's origin.

It's a shame that the version I read wasn't written after Lula's election and his first day as a president, but I learned more about Brazil in this book than in any other one. Very good job showing data and facts to support the positions and analyzing the underlying facts that took brazil to the position where it is now.

My 2 year old loves this book, but it would be a good book for younger toddlers too. Very simple with pictures of all sorts of cars and trucks. The book follows a traffic jam from start to finish. Some of the pictures continue to the next page to show the traffic jam. A great and fun way for toddlers to learn the names of all kind of vehicles.

The Bumposaurus, by Penny Mckinlay, is the story of a baby brontosaurus who suffers from poor vision. The poor little brontosaurus is so blind he can't even find the way out of his egg. He keeps mistaking other dinosaurs for his food. His parents, unaware of their child's poor vision, give him several stern lectures on how "Dinosaurs don't eat other dinosaurs." You'll be delighted with how the brontosaurus and his family finally resolve his problem. The illustrations are silly. The text has wit to spare. I'm glad I accidentally bumped into The Bumposaurus. You will be as well.

This book and Joseph Alleine's "An alarm to the unconverted" are must read books for all those who seek to be faithful witnesses for Christ in this day and age.
The puritan's preached a pure gospel-not the modern gospel. This book is top shelf!

Cap'n Warren's Wards is the first book by Joseph C. Lincoln that moves off the fictional towns of Cape Cod (in this case South Denboro) and into the big city hustle of Manhattan. Elijah Warren finds himself the guardian of his brother's children who are rapidly reaching adulthood but haven't had to face the harsh realities of self responsibility due to their father's wealth. Unfortunately now there are a few snags with A. Rodgers Warren's estate and Cap'n Warren decides its best to toughen his wards up and maybe teach them some humility in the process.

All of the books in this series are great. My son started reading these to do a second grade book report. He had to read them all after that first one!
