We always read or hear about the struggles of Blacks in the south. And now witht the effects of just how strong "racism" still exists in America, I found this book to be on point about how racism is not just a race problem its a personal one that crosses over from inter-racial prejudice. It's my hope Ms. Vay continues to write such stirring stories about the myths of miscegenation in the south.

This is a second edition of David J. Maleski's thorough analysis of Georgia Products Liability, published by The Harrison Company in Norcross, GA.

David J. Maleski is Professor of Law at Georgia State University.

From the introduction: "Products liability is a very important specialty of tort law. One reason for its significance is the sheer volume of products liability lawsuits. Over 20 million products-related injuries occur in the United States every year, resulting in more than a million lawsuits annually. Nationally, an average award for successful products liability lawsuits exceeds $100,000.

"Products liability law continues to undergo very rapid doctrinal change, despite a current economic climate that calls for product liability 'reform.' The wisdom of the march towards 'absolute' products liability is severely questioned by those who contend that our overly litigious nature stifles technological innovation and drives the price of products far above their manufacturing cost. The study of products liability law is truly the study of how the United States has responded to the rapid explosion of products technology. Along with its insatiable desire for new and exciting products, the consuming public now expects greater corporate responsibility. The recent trends towards strict products liability and reduced burdens of proof are consistent with the modern consumer rights movement and the corresponding demise of the special privileges and immunities once enjoyed by corporate and industrial America..."

Finally, the book is meant to succeed the popular "Eldridge's Georgia Products Liability", but "has a somewhat different focus from its predecessor. It is written to educate the general practitioner, and additionally, it is written for the aspiring Georgia products liability specialist, whether he or she is currently a practioner or a law student." (from the intro)

Mr. Beckum's second greatest love, after his wife, was the evolution of the railroad. An excellent photographer, he documented his love of trains and depots long before they were appreciated by mainstream America. This album is one of several anthologies that he authored. This work, like his others, is a work of love.

Another work of love was Mr. Beckum's purchase of the train depot in Thomson, Georgia. The restored depot was dontated to the City of Thomson and is available to the public. Thank you Mr. B! We miss you, and your love for all things railroad and Thomson. -Kelly Evans

My daughter is 9 years old and has went nuts over these rainbow magic books. She started reading them about 2years ago and she never seems to be able to put the book down and is waiting impatiently for the next series to come out for purchase....I totally recommend this series for any girl ages 5 through 10......

Good investment!!!!

An excellent book that we used on our May-June vacation to Ukraine-Crimea-Georgia and Turkey.

The August invasion of Georgia by Russia may have changed some of the dynamics of traveling in that region so I don't know how accurate the Georgian part of this book will be.

Still when it comes to the City of Tbilisi, it was incredibly helpful.

Only one landmark/attraction is left out. The restaurant on Budjan Square known as "Rahaulzi". It serves the best fadouli and semili rolls I have ever had.

Have a refreshing lunch and expresso there and then walk across the street to see the Museum of Martyrs which includes what is purported to be the actual sword used to behead Saint Annoukalis in 383 AD.

A great guidebook!!

Georgia's Bones by Jen Bryant is a children's picturebook based on the life of artist Georgia O'Keeffe. Introducing young readers the world of a talented female artist, who sees the natural of beauty of New Mexico, even in such mundane things as bones, Georgia's Bones blends lyrical rhyme with sweeping color illustrations by Bethanne Andersen, and introduces the reader to the soul-stirring natural world, that can be summoned to mind and memory even when far away.

Along with the images of young soldiers staring at us through the veil of time we are given images of monuments and cemeteries when they, like the soldiers they honor, were young. Most of these statues and obelisks are still standing, still honoring the Confederate soldier, though now aged with a patina that only time can create. Dr. Wiggins has gone to enormous lengths to capture for all time the unique tributes Georgia has made to its soldiers of long ago.

author of: "Civil War Milledgeville, Tales From the Confederate Capital of Georgia," "Remembering Milledgeville, Historic Tales From Georgia's Antebellum Capital" and "More Milledgeville Memories."

Tells about 135 locations for finding the most valuable gems and minerals in Georgia. Includes a county-by-county list of known valuable sites.

35 Indian treasures and the stories behind them. Includes some small maps, and other directions.

I had never suspected the extent of the diamond finds in Georgia! Wish I had known about this book years ago!

This book has the most thorough discussion of the so-called Lost Confederate Treasury Train/Wagons that I have ever seen! Very detailed, with names, witnesses, and places.

Also has other interesting material on pictographs, (Indian) signs, divining rods, and metal detectors.

Highly recommended.

A fascinating book. Whilst I am no expert in this area (12th century alternative land use in Norflok being my field (as it were) of speciality) I fully appreciated the author's ability to take what some might think of as an ever so slightly specialised subject for study and expound upon it, thereby highlighting the relevance of Georgian women to women of today.

I struggled to put this book down. Dan Brown eat your heart out.
