Duty-Honor-Valor: The Story of the Eleventh Mississippi Infantry Regiment 9 reviews
Steven H. Stubbs
Quail Ridge Pr, 2000
Awesome-What More Can I say
This is without a doubt the best account of the day to day activities encountered by our ancestors who served in the Eleventh Mississippi Infantry Regiment. From chapter to chapter, as I read, I feel I am with them. As a genealogist I have found more information about several of my ancestors, most who were members of the "University Greys" Co. A" in this book than I have found after several years ...

How to Probate an Estate in California (How to Probate An Estate. California Edition, 11th ed)15 reviews
Julia Nissley, Mary Randolph, ...
Nolo, 1999
Indispensable. Beautifully written, thoughtfully compiled, and will save you a fortune.
After my mother passed away and I was named executor, I discovered something: California's probate system is a massive, elaborate joke designed to make lawyers rich. It's incomprehensible how convoluted the process is, and how absolutely ZERO help is available. (The court clerks I turned to answered every question with this: "I can't tell you! I'm not a judge!" And, of course, it's not like ...

Joe Whitburn's Billboard Top Pop Singles 1955-2006 11th Edition (Joel Whitburn's Top Pop Singles (Cumulative))9 reviews
RECORD RESEARCH, 2008
A Stellar Compilation
Since I also purchased Joel Whitburn's Top Country Songs (1944 to 2005),I was able to compare Top Pop Singles (1955-2006) to it. One thing I liked in the former that was absent in the latter is the listing of the songwriters for each title. Instead the B-sides are given. Could room have been made to include the songwriters for each entry? Nevertheless, I enjoy making frequent reference to Top Pop ...

Tower Stories: The Autobiography of September 11th13 reviews
Revolution Publishing, 2004
Awesome Book
This is a fantastic book. It gives a clear accounting of what happened from each person's point of view, people who were actually there, in their own words. Some of their descriptions are pretty graphic, but they are telling it like it is, the way they saw it. This is a book that should be read, cherished, kept and passed down through the generations to children and grandchildren, so future ...

Sports Publishing, 2006
Going back further in American hockey history
Hockey fans will find riveting Tom Caraccioli & Jerry Caraccioli's STRIKING SILVER: THE UNTOLD STORY OF AMERICA'S FORGOTTEN HOCKEY TEAM. While many think of American hockey as starting in the 1980s; in a reality in 1972 the achievements of a young team which represented the U.S. in Asia in the Olympics went largely unrecognized during the tumult of Vietnam politics. It's time their story was ...

Conformity and Conflict: Readings in Cultural Anthropology (11th Edition)6 reviews
James Spradley, David W. McCurdy
Allyn & Bacon, 2002
Excellent collection, a standard in anthro -- and the 12th is DIFFERENT from the11th
I've used this collection off and on for years in teaching Introduction to Cultural Anthropology. It's a great book, a real standard in anthropology. Honestly, I think the relevance and quality of the essays varies from edition to edition. I liked the 11th more than the 12th. Sometimes a 'favorite' essay gets replaced; and then in the next edition it is returned. Go figure.
I note that ...

The Inner Teachings of Taoism6 reviews
Chang Po-Tuan
Shambhala, 2001
Taoist Alchemy
This is a great taoist alchemy treatise. The root text by Chang Po Tuan is presented along with enlightening commentaries. It has helped me understanding the "Secret of the Golden Flower" translated by Richard Wilhelm and introduced by C.G. Jung and revealed the meaning of so many symbols of taoist alchemy.
Not a very easy reading but it's worth the effort.

Carl F. Luckey
Krause Publications, 1998
The greatest book for serious Hummel Collectors!
I have quiet a few Hummel books, but Luckey's Hummel Figurines and Plates, 11nd Edition is my favorite. The book did educate me in the different Trade Marks on the bottom of the Figurines, The Authors explanation is simple and clear. I purchased many Hummel figurines at Internet Auctions and found that the "Current Value" prices of Mr. Luckey's book are very conservative and very closed to the ...

English Simplified - An Escape from the Boring Grammar Book
I'm in tenth grade and am using this book in my English class. Take it from me, a girl who has lived through many a boring and completely useless grammar book, that this book is gold. Not only does it explain grammar and mechanics in a simple (hence the title) way, but it actually is interesting (well, as far as grammar goes...). It appeals to the average reader because it uses modern examples, ...

Turtleback Books Distributed by Demco Media, 2002
Terrific book!
Everyone has a dark side--it's that frightening part of our personalities that drives you to root for something to blow up and hurt James Bond. It's what makes us "root for the bad guy" at Mel Gibson films. It's what drove us to watch with rapt attention on September 11, as the Civilized World crumbled before our eyes. This, happily, is not the part of us that forces us onward through ...

Analisa is a woman of remarkable determination, faith and strength. I first met Analisa when she and Brian moved to our area shortly after completing her transplant and we worked together for several years in our church.
