Elizabeth Lyon

Blue Heron Publishing, 2000

Good For a Clear Understanding of Your Book Proposal
If you have started to look for a literary agent, buy this book first. If your proposal has been rejected by agents, buy this book. I thought I had read good proposal books until I read this one. Follow it step by step, chapter by chapter, and your book proposal will look quite differently than what you wrote before. After reading this book, I re-wrote my entire proposal, because the suggestions ...

The Blue Djinn is so cool!
Even though I am definitely not a young teen (unless 65 qualifies) I love the Children of the Lamp series. One of my granddaughters bought the first book at a school book fair; I had run out of my own reading material for relaxation; and, as they say, the rest is history. After I finished The Akhenaten Adventure, I bought the Blue Djinn and Cobra King of Kathmandu. I am awaiting the next three ...

Can You Help Me Find My Smile
Can You Help Me Find My Smile was another one of my Carl Sommer favorites. The story is about Teddy the young bear who is grumpy and no matter how hard he tries he can't seem to find his smile. The help and advise from friends, even a new bicycle on his birthday doesn't seem to make him happy for long. After searching he finally seeks the advise of his grandfather.

Mind and Nature: A Necessary Unity (Advances in Systems Theory, Complexity, and the Human Sciences)

Gregory Bateson

Hampton Press, 2002

You're Smarter Than You Think You Are
Sit in on a lecture by an engaging and knowledgable prof and you can expect to pick up a few tidbits. You certainly don't expect to come away knowing everything the prof knows. The subtitle of this book is about what Bateson knows, but you don't need to know any of that (or be particularly interested in it) to read this unusual book. My subtitle would be: You're Smarter Than You Think You Are." ...

Inside the Object Model: The Sensible Use of C++

David M. Papurt

SIGS Books, 1995

Excellent, but abstruse. A must-read for Ada retreads
Unless you have a bent for philosophy, don't buy this book until you have seen at least part of Chapter 4! This is not "10 Quick Tips to Improve Your C++ Skills." It is a seminal text that attempts to alter the fundamental way you perceive the process of programming. This book seeks to correlate object-oriented programming with cognitive science. To this end, an abstract Object Model is ...

Stuart Held

Outskirts Press, 2006

Reviewed by Carianne Carleo-Evangelist
Blind Spot, though a follow up to Behind the Yellow Filter, is also a strong enough story to stand on its own merit. In some respects, I found this to be more developed and solid, testament to Mr. Held's growth as a writer and storyteller. Perhaps the aspect of the book that was the most solid was that as a reader, I was always on my toes. Mr. Held allowed me to think I was headed in a given ...

Advance Books, 2002

Splendor Bay by L.B. Cobb
I didn't want to put this book down after I began reading it. What I liked the most is that the story flows well and it kept me intrigued. The characters and story line are developed with just enough clarity that personalities or the plot didn't get foggy with excess detail. I was taken in by the main character, his sense of humor and approach to solving the crime, and all the ways he showed ...

No Longer a Dilly Dally Scores Big With Toddlers
No Longer a Dilly Dally is a fantastic book for teaching young children the very important life lessons of hard work. Sommer does an excellent job of portraying the difference between two ant families, one that plays first then works; the other that works first and then plays. Depending on their choice of whether to work or play first, Sommer takes the reader through a season in which young ...

In Advance of the Landing: Folk Concepts of Outer Space

Douglas Curran

Abbeville Press, 1986

A truthful but sad commentary
This is an excellent book which combines good journalism with excellent photography. Once you pick it up its hard to put it down. The book is facinating but at the same time alarming because the people in it are real. Mr. Curran gives an excellent and frank portrayal of the people who hold to the reality of UFO's and their occupants. He presents them, without any judgement, in an accurate a ...

Richard A. Deyo, Donald L. Patrick

AMACOM, 2005

Factual medical info revealed
A thoughtful and thorough gathering of medical practice information as driven by the prescription drug industry. How to read the glowing advertising with careful scrutiny is just one benefit. The authors write clearly about complex subjects. While not racy reading, it should be read by any of us who have or will have medical needs.
