The first volume of "The Dropas" trilogy, Breaking Through The Walls by Scott R. Etters continues the courageous saga of two brothers Scott and Timm, and their assistant Pockets, in a determined attempt to create a public education in a troubled world of the future. Taking place a mere six years after history's most devastating war, Breaking Through The Walls carries its readers through haunting memories, hardships, unexpected obstacles, a cast of memorable characters, all set in the future of a world recovering from a war that wiped out nearly two-billion people. A promising treaty and the brothers' relentless efforts to aide their people in the fight to bring down the evil Lord Ozone make for an engaging read from first page to last.

There have been plenty of books that take people away into the book, but the Dropas breaking through the walls is a book that takes the reader into His/Her self it is packed with exitment, love, and good moral. i myself know Scott .r Etters and he is the most deep thoughtful person youll ever meet. the book is equiped with little dropas that are so cute and funny. if you like to read this book falls under any criteria. it is abook for everyone in the family. i hope you will take this recomendation seriously because if not it would be a loss to you to not read such a book.

I began reading this book thinking that it was geared more towards 4th, 5th and 6th graders. I soon found myself totally engrossed in it (and I am well beyond that age group!). I fell in love with the Dropas and wished I had a few to call my own. This book showed what can be accomplished when everyone comes together for a common cause. Uplifting for readers of any age.

What I first assumed to be a fantasy novel geared toward adolescent readers turned out to be a sincere and touching story with a message that appeals to any age. As a person who is committed to operating from a thought system based on love and not fear (the guiding principle taught in A Course In Miracles), the story line of The Dropas took me on an inspiring journey that spoke directly to that principle that I hold so dear. Underneath the adventure of Scott, Timm, the quirky Dropas and the rest of the crew lies a deeply meaningful message about the spiritual healing of the world. It is proof positive that seemingly small individual acts of love and kindness have a far reaching power. And that when like-minded folks band together in the name of love, critical mass is achieved and voila! - Good will always triumph over evil! That underlying message prevalent in The Dropas is so uplifting to me! And for that, I will read it over and over again, until the pages are tattered and the print is worn away. Book II, Transcendental Journey, takes the theme even further. It is obvious from the evolution of Etters' writing style and character development from Book One to Book Two that the author, along with his readers, is on his own, very personal journey. These books have enlightened me, compelling me to look at this world and my impact on it in a new, more compassionate and generous way. I highly recommend the first two books in this series, and eagerly await the conclusion to the trilogy.

What a great story! Scott and Timm using their imagination, initiative and a little bit of magic from the Dropas conquer the evil in the world. What a wonderful reminder to look for the good in all people. A book good for all ages.

Eboni Chronicles is a thought provoking book that can help anyone become more effective in managing their emotions, problem solving and decision-making. It allows you to learn how to manage your emotions for maximum results in your relationships.

In Eboni Chronicles, Ms. Jones has provided a platform for the unsung heroines of Black America. It is a passionate plea to and from mothers, sisters, aunts, and friends alike on the subject of self-esteem, beauty, God, children, and money. Pain, despair, triumph, hope and love leap from the pages of Eboni Chronicles. Kudos to Ms.Jones for sharing "Black women's ideas, beliefs and lifestyles" in a new way. I encourage you to buy this book. It's real. It's raw. And in some instances, it's remarkably funny. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Eboni Chronicles, and know that you will too.

Rashun writes from the heart. This is a excellent book with valuable lessons for everyone.

Eboni Chronicles gives a honest look at how Black women have demonstrated resilience in their day to day lives. It contains a inspiring educational message for Black women regardless of their age, background or life experience. I recommend this book to all black women.

Eboni Chronicles is a informative book for young women in the 90's. The "true" stories from the women in this book can help one deal with issues of racism and sexism. Issues that are often experienced but rarely ever talked about in such a open and honest manner. It also focuses on the everyday dilemmas like self esteem, work/education, managing emotions, problem solving, resolving conflicts and spirituality. I really enjoyed this book because it helped me see a lot of issues that I was dealing with and positive solutions to these issues. Eboni Chronicles contains a inspiring educational message for black women regardless of their age, background or life experience. It would also be useful to anyone interested in learning more about the ideas, beliefs and lifestyles of the Black woman from the eyes of the Black woman. I recommend this book to all Black women. Alicia Prince, Reviewer

Great book, notable for the deep insights it provides into its author. This book is not about an Eagle, it is about a man relating to the world.

-- this story is for you. Read slowly a page or two and close your eyes, see the action, smell the air, the ambiance and feel the wind in your face, flowing around your arms and shoulders. If you are into imagination and self-hypnsosis, turn yourself into an American Eagle - regardless your nationality. Turn loose whether you live in Beijing, Rwanda or Lhasa. Be free!

A story the King would definitely love to read more than twice. Story of love, friendship reaching to the ultimate planes of spirituality. Elvis A. Eagle's relentless battle with the world teaches him to spread unlimited love and kindness on earth and beyond...just as Elvis A. Presley has always done. Love you Elvis forever.

Maria Columbus, President, The Elvis Special

After the story pulled me in, I was flying so high that I almost got vertigo while wheeling over the Golden Gate Bridge. Then I could hear Elvis singing and his companions sounding more like the Jordanians than a bunch of owls and woodpeckers. The King himself, God Bless His Soul, would love this book, too.

This book gave me a lot of spiritual inspiration. It is all about life, growing up, bravery, friendship, freedom and American value. I had to stop reading to think about my own life once a while, because it pushes you internally. And furthermore it's very live and moving. I'm amazed by the writer's literary grace, and I think it can be filmazed into a successful catoon movie. This is the book which I will also let my child to read. The only frault (if only can be called frault) is it gives you so many inspiration, you almost can't relax a while.

Perhaps I'm out of touch (and it would be perfectly OK with me if that were so), but when my 13-year-old brought this home, checked out from the "Young Adult" section at the library, I'm glad I intercepted it. My daughter has high reading standards, both morally and critically, and was careful to flip through the book before checking it out, to see if she would like it. She only looked through the first half of the book, which, apart from several usages of "f**k," contained nothing too alarming. But then things "heat up."

Nuanced plot of birthmark drama and overbearing father aside, the parallel story depicts with increasing detail how an underage girl learns to have illicit sex. She begins with mutual masturbation at a teenage orgy, continues with her first intercourse with another teen boy, on to her initiating intercourse both with that boy and yet another boy, providing her (presumably pre-teen and teen) readers with details of how "full" she feels during intercourse, before ending with her description of tasting her own vaginal secretions of her boyfriend's lips after he performs cunnilingus.

I'll be surprised if Amazon allows even my review of the book to be posted. If I quoted from the book itself, my review would never be posted. And I cannot help but find it ironic that I must be over 13 to review this book, whereas any child under 13 can pick it up and read it without adult oversight.

Now, I consider myself a fairly broadminded father, and no prude. None of the sexual activities described shock me. But the question must be addressed: In what way is this a good book for teens, especially middle-schoolers? Are there limits on written depictions of the sexual practices of minors, beyond which the writing becomes "child pornography"?

I've asked these same questions of our local library. They're now looking into their processes, seeing how the library determines just what constitutes "adult fiction," versus "young adult fiction."

I was sucked into Nina Goldman's life the minute I started to read this little gem of a book from Renée Rosen. Nina was born with a strawberry birthmark that covers one of her eyes, and early on she learned that it brings both good and bad attention to her. I agonized along with Nina as she struggled to fit in socially through middle school and high school, sure that her eye was the only thing keeping her from being popular. Nina's story brought back memories from the mixed up social scene of my own school years, where everyone was trying to find who they were, and most of us were insecure about something.

Dominating Nina's life outside of school is her father, Artie, whose larger-than-life character pulls in everyone around him as they try to live up to the high expectations he creates for himself and his family. There's not much room for other memorable players in this story, but Rosen weaves other characters into the narrative seemlessly, and she makes it easy to get the dynamics between Nina and her friends, and Nina and the rest of her family.

Nina's mother is a minor character, but readers will find lots to talk about in the family dynamics at play, the times described in the book (1960s and 70s), and Nina's search to find what's really important to her.

It's hard to believe this was penned by a first-time author, but Rosen brings very complicated issues together seamlessly in a book that's hard to put down once you start it. Something to note: the frank handling of drug use and teenage experimentation with sex probably makes Every Crooked Pot most appropriate for high school readers and their moms.

In the interest of disclosure, I should say that Renee is a friend of mine. But the only thing better than having novelist friends is having novelist friends who write so beautifully that you can recommend their work with a clear conscience.

It's a coming-of-age tale, and like most of its genre, listing the specific circumstances takes away from the larger story. So let me just say that this is a lovely book, full-to-overflowing with heart, and peopled with characters as real as any I've read. If you like intimate, personal fiction that will leave you saddened and uplifted at once, then ignore the iffy cover and just buy this baby.

Though it only took me two days to read Rosen's debut novel, Every
Crooked Pot, I know that the story will stay with me for years to
come. Nina's struggles and triumphs speak volumes on what it means to
accept and love ourselves and others. This deceptively simple novel
packs a powerful punch--I look forward to Rosen's future novels and
will happily recommend her first to others.

I am stunned. I'd read the first chapter on Ms. Rosen's website, and was intrigued by the main character and her unusual father. Reading the rest of the book swept me into a new world that felt so familiar, I could have sworn I knew these people. I was spellbound by the intricate relationship between the main character and her father, who controls the entire family's feelings and sometimes their actions through his own subtle (and sometimes blatant) ways. I loved the honest way the author explored the effects a facial birthmark has on a teenager. I adored the fluid, natural writing style.

Every Crooked Pot is one of the best books of the year.

This is a good book. It is sort of freaky but verry good. It has lots of drama and suspense.

I like Phantom of the Auditorium because it is scary and it is written by my favorite author R.L.Stine!!!It also is creepy and when you least exspect something to happen it happens and at the end of the story it leaves you geussing about what will happen next.It is about a girl who finds out about the scary secrets behind her schoos walls or under them.

It was really good, even though I doubted it would be. I really like the Goosebumps that were wrote with kids in school. They are better than the ones where the kids are on vacation or something. The book is suprisingly realistic, also. I think it deserves a read. I'm sure anyone from ages 7-13 would like this.

I have no idea why i wrote that for my title.

Anyways, this book is a very good book, but the ending is predictable if you've been reading goosebumps/R.L.Stine books for at least a year or 2.

If you're a moderately skilled programmer, a self-learner, and you want to get beyond just "getting started" deploying and using Sql Server 2000 Reporting Services, this is the book for you.

I especially found the chapters on customized set up extremely helpful. The installation wizard doesn't offer a whole lot of options, and most of teh time you don't know fully how you want to configure it until you've tried it out. You'll get some good starters on rconfiguring your installation here.

You'll get enough basics to be ready to dive in, and then some tricks well enough beyond that to give you well on your way to devleoping customized solutions.

For a total beginner (which I definately was) this is a FANTASTIC introduction to Reporting Services. Three months after starting my first job as a programmer straight out of University, and now I'm the main person in the firm with Reporting Services knowledge - and it's all thanks to this book.

The writing style is actually excellent for beginners, as I was terrified by the prospect of reading such a mammoth. But these guys make it fun and interesting to read (right down to the jokes and sidenotes) and really do touch on everything you need in a useful manner without boring you.

And excellent resource that now never leaves my desk. I can only hope these guys do a SQL Sever 2005 one. I cannot recommend this book enough for those starting on Reporting Services. It really is the book to read.

And if you are looking for a book on SQL Reportin 2005 - I would still recommend this book to give you the basics and introduction which is unbeatable thus far.

I really the beginning part on the setup and installation of the reporting services themselves. At my firm we needed to set up a seperate server for this purpose and the IT group was swamped with another project and this helped a great deal. I still am workign on development but the book has been very usefula and easy to understand.

This book has been written from a VB programmers point of view. If you want to just start creating reports or if you're not a VB programmer (ie DBA etc) you may find this hard work.As another reviewer mentioned, you may find the authors' jokes and writing style to be a hit and miss affair.

Nevertheless, there is some depth on Reporting Services not to be found elsewhere that is quite handy.

Now that all the friends and family have promoted the book...

In order to understand something new, we all must relate that which we're learning to that which we already know.
Pete and Bill have a difficult time transitioning from campy comedians to thoughtful educators. To this extent, their writing style lacks any useful analogies whatsoever which might bridge the gap between the known and the unknown.

The book is full of droll and distracting fantasy references which are completely irrelevant to the subject matter, and are prone to taking the unsuspecting reader off task.

The potential purchaser should also be forewarned that the authors tend towards another immature trait of attempting to impress the reader with their linguistic abilities. Yet, to be effective at teaching they should have remembered to never use a complicated word where a simple one will do.

Many examples are rambling and inconcise, where step-by-step quickly degrades into an ambiguous and vague path.

Not every developer can obtain DOMAIN Authority in order to issue SSL certificates and it's too bad that the authors don't allow for this type of scenario, especially when a reporting system is on a VPN.

All of the content is there, but it's up to the reader to filter and translate most of it from the pitfalls aforementioned into something more to the center of the bell curve.

DENNIS R. JENKINS &TONY R. LANDIS are THE best AERO/SPACE historians.I have other titles by them.

Please provide list of ALL titles by them.

THANX VLC

Dennis R. Jenkins and Tony Landis write wonderful books about amazing machines.. (Check out America's super bomber XB-70)

Their style of writing is pure technical eloquence. They can take a complex subject and make it compelling reading whilst not dumbing it down or glossing over it.

The story evolves at a terrific pace and is neatly framed in the events and context of the era they occurred in.

The quality of the images matches the quality of the text. This is a book you will come back to year after year!

This book is an exceptional addition to anyones library on aviation. If you are a X-15 freak, it is an absolute must to have.

This research work was obviously a labor of love and reverence for the authors. They gave credit where it is due, from the pilot astronauts, research scientists, program managers, air force personnel, senior engineers, technicians, and even a handful of glad-handing politicians.
For the first time, the reader wil learn details of the B-52 mothership personnel.

The photo-documentation is vast; I find it hard to believe that a companion volume ("Scrapbook") was needed for photos and illustrations beyond Hypersonic!'s coverage.

For modelers, the AFFTC blueprint on page 179 is definitive data on the X-15 fuselage. Info in the text will enable accurate reproduction of wing and tailplane structures.

Hypersonic! will remain the standard reference volume on the X-15 for decades to come.

Not to take from old Chuck's efforts, but I've always thought the X-15 was the more interesting program. It's amazing the level of accomplishments they made, yet the X-15 is far from being as well known to the public as some other programs in aviation. If you like the X-15, this is definitely the book. It's not the kind of book you just fly through and look at the photos, then throw on a shelf... It is definitely worth your while to take the time and really read through the details of how the aircraft worked, what the Pilots went through, and how the milestones were achieved technically. The flight log in the back is amazing in it's detail, evening listing the chase aircraft and chase Pilots involved in each mission. I purchased it along with the X-15 Scrapbook, and they work well together.

Like Schleiermacher, Otto wants to theorize a religious faculty completely distinct from the rational, moral, and aesthetic faculties. The object of this faculty is the "holy," which is fearsome, mysterious, and fascinating. Most importantly, it remains essentially distinct from the rational, moral, and aesthetic, which means that any language we use to talk about "numinous" reality will always be analogical. This is important because "the religious" as a distinct category has been under threat since the 18th century (or since Spinoza) by other discourses that effectively explain it away. Otto's contemporary, Freud, was about to deal the religious yet another heavy blow by reducing it to a vestigial remain of infantile narcissism. By only allowing an analogical relation to other discourses, Otto wants to preserve the religious from this encroaching secularization. Of course, it is not certain that his own theory is not a secularization. He does not, after all, make room for miracles (in the strong sense).

I'll admit I was a little surprised at the heavy Christian turn at the end, only because Christianity seems to tame the wildness of the "tremendum" and the "mysterium." All in all, a fascinating and useful read.

The first time I ever stumbled on the word "numinous" was in a doctorate that proposed to analyse vampires as "numinous entities". Then, reading CS Lewis, I again crossed that word's path, and eventually, I decided to read the real thing.

In very short, the numen (from which the word "numinous" is based) is the mysterious, overpowering, and terrifying aspect of the Deity. It is "non-rational" in the sense that it is not to be grasped by concept and ideas, but something to be felt in one's flesh and soul, like actual fear, awe, and majesty.

Otto focuses on that aspect too often neglected by some religious people themselves: the mysterious and unknowable. Fanatics have a tendency to consider only that, to the expense of the rational side of the Deity. But both similarly denature It.

While this book is a classic, and a worthy reading for anyone interested in the subject of God and the studies of religions, I will say that, personally, I seem to have missed out on some of the things mentioned in the book. Maybe I badly read certain parts, or maybe the book is complicated and dense enough that a second reading is required to clearly understand it all. Or both.

In a way, Rudolf Otto gives mysticism the kind of analysis it deserves, and re-establishes those more obscure areas of religiosity as something worthy of our consideration, and undeserving of our scorn.

The best way to read this book is to HAVE READ IT in a state of obsession years ago and find that its general mood and the texture of its ideas exert a subliminal and subconcious influence on one's concious thought. Taken in parts it contains many assumptions or assertions that are actually quite disputable but in general, as an aesthetic device, it is necessary reading for any spiritual seeker. It is certainly a welcome anti-dote to those spiritual guides that make God out to be a divine butler waiting on his chosen humans beck and call. It also suggests a wilder and more flamoboyant spiritual universe than the one portrayed in so many lesser works. God, if he or she exists, is a wild, ecstatic, and uncontrollable force that transcends the vulgar, petty humanizations we force upon him or her.

The student of human religion is generally confronted with a serious problem; unlike say, science or philosophy, religion is much more strongly dependent on the subject and the social and cultural beliefs in terms of knowledge, practice and belief. It is harder as a historian of religion to divorce any 'essence' of religion or religious knowledge from its context and practice, especially given many of the leading lights of the world's religions seem to emphasize ineffable and unrepeatable subjective experience. Yet it is vital to try and understand religion and what role (if any) it plays in the human quest to understand the universe, and also ourselves.

Otto, a Protestant theologian, offered a concept he called the 'holy.' Also often called the numinious, this was a sense of something being sacred. Holiness gave Being a special set of qualities which set it apart from the universe and its furniture as we 'ordinarily' experience it. This experience is often one of terror and fear in the prophets of monotheistic religions (Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Moses, Abraham, Jesus and Mohammed) while in native and Eastern religions, it can be a sense of power or awe. In this work Otto applies the idea of the Holy to Christianity and other religions, and would later form a critical tool in the phenomenology of religion and religious experience.

This book is essential reading for any scholar of religion or philosopher interested in religion and questions relating to religion and religious experience.

Rudolf Otto(1869-1937) presents the idea of the Holy as that profound, overwhelming feeling of awe that can sometimes strike you regardless of your particular culture and/or religious affiliation, a feeling that's been a part of us since pre-historic times. He calls this feeling the "mysterium tremendum" or the "numinous" and proceeds to describe it in great detail, with examples. I liked the way the idea is first developed in a more general sense before emphasis is made of its Christian aspect, making it accessible to all people interested in the idea of the Holy and God.

At twelve years old, Alex begins thinking that she might be a good enough swimmer to represent New Zealand in the Olympics in 1960, when she is sixteen. Juggling high school, other extracurricular activities, and competitive swimming is tough, though. It becomes especially tough when Maggie, who has been competing since she was two, moves nearby and begins training at Alex's pool. Maggie has an overbearing mother and an absolute dedication to swimming that means she mostly wins her events against Alex. Alex remains certain that she will be able to come out on top at the Olympic trials, though.

As that time comes closer, Alex becomes less and less certain of herself, and she finds herself getting more and more overwhelmed by the events in her life. Will she be able to set everything aside in order to focus on what may be the most important swim of her life?

This was a decent story about swimming and about the pressures of high school, which haven't really changed all that much in the last forty years. However, I was disappointed by the predictability of the storyline with Andy. On the second page of the prologue, before we had even officially met him, I already knew exactly what happened. It was a letdown when my suspicions ended up being true.

I read this book over and over again. It's well-written and handles emotions more complex than most books for this age group.

I was at the secondhand bookstore, reading a book about greatbooks for girls, and it mentioned one I thought I'd seen whilebrowsing the shelves earlier. I went and picked it up, 259-page"In Lane Three, Alex Archer" and decided to get it - itsounded good and was only ... anyway. I spent the next three daysreading little parts of it at a time, and could barely put itdown. The epilogue was especially good, and after finishing it Iimmediately wrote out a new Favourite Books List - there was a new onein first place.

I loved this book! It is an excellent read and is well written. The story is beautiful and the characters are believable. It's a story an girl can relate to, no matter their age. The emotions and trials of Alex are very real; it's hard to put it down until you're done! I recomend this book to anyone. Not only does it talk about growing up a teenage girl, but it describes things such as the personal struggles of competiting in a way that is different and refreshingly honest. Buy this book today!

This book was a great book. If you are a swimmer you can relate to all the training and the time you have for everything else. If you have ever dreamed of going to the Olympics this book shows you what you have to need and go through. Alex shows courage and faith in this book. The book also gives examples of a swimmer's friendships and dreams. "In Lane Three, Alex Archer" is a really good book, it tells the story of a swimmer's life when she is training and trying to have fun.

What a romp through my childhood days! I lived a few blocks from Karl's stomping grounds and it is totally amazing that we never ran into each other except finally becoming school mates at Boston Technical High School. The childhood memories he re-captures are authentic and true since they were the same ones I had, albeit mine was Irish/Polish. Our neighborhood was like a spaceship, secure, safe, interesting, diverse, and always going somewhere. Karl captures it all just right.
By the way, The Victoria Diner is still there, the booths and the great food are the same as always, even after 50 years. Amazing.

"Moose's" story of growing up in Boston in the 1950s brought back many memories of my own, memories which had become buried under 50+ years of later experiences. Though Karl and I have never met, we probably had plenty of opportunity to, since he and I attended the same high school (Boston Technical) and college (Northeastern Univ.). It was very pleasant to relive those times guided by such a master story teller.

The one part of the book that I didn't enjoy was reading of Karl's father's suicide, though this tragic event was important since it played such a key role in his personal development. I imagine it must have been very difficult for Karl to craft this section of his story. I commend Karl for having the guts to put it all down for the world to see. I don't think I could've done the same.

Part of my enjoyment in reading "Just Call Me Moose" was undoubtedly because of the many similarities between our lives (e.g., our mothers were born in the same year and attended the same high school, my father's name was Karl, we went to dances at the same church hall, and we both served in Vietnam). But I enjoyed the stories of his sometimes quirky Italian Catholic family just as much, if not more - even though I grew up WASP in America.

I believe that "Just Call Me Moose" will be enjoyed not only by folks in our age group, or who grew up Italian, or who lived in Boston, but also by folks of all ages, ethnicities, and geographic backgrounds. The major themes in Karl's book - family, humor, good times, bad times, taking responsibility for your actions, and the importance of memories - are common ones that will appeal to almost everyone.

Thanks, Karl, for a good read.

Illustrated with a handful of black-and-white photographs, Just Call Me Moose!: Growing Up Italian In America by Karl R. Bossi is the haunting memoir that follows the author from boyhood in '50s Boston, and the terror of his father's suicide, to the jungles of Vietnam as a member of a bomb disposal team, to civilian life. Over the course of fifty years, he learned that it was impossible to live fully as long as he shut out the reality of his father's death. Just Call Me Moose! is filled with dialogue straight out of the author's memories, and a no-nonsense realistic perspective of daily life even under the most extraordinary pressures. Highly recommended.

Karl Bossi writes a riveting and inspiring memoir that you won't be able to put down. Being from Rhode Island and traveling into Boston quite often, this book was especially interesting to me. He tells about the details of his life and how they have made him the person he is today, how the events and people in his life have influenced him. It takes courage to write a book like this and I encourage everyone to read this book. You will laugh, you will cry, you will never forget it.

A compelling read, I picked this book up on a Saturday afternoon, put it down once to eat dinner, then read long into the evning until I was finished. As an author myself, I read a lot of books and Just Call Me Moose is not only one of the best books I have read the past year, it is one of the best ever. The author, Karl Bossi, uses a very artful style to show how a childhood tradgey could suddenly resurface in the most ordinary of situations during his otherwise adventerous life. I found his childhood experiences especially interesting because they rekindled similar long lost memories of my own that left me smiling. You may not have heard of Karl Bossi before reading Just Call Me Moose, but once you've finished reading his book you'll be glad you did.
