The Most Amazing Thing 6 reviews
Knowehere Press, 2008
An Amazing Adventure
This is a wonderful book. The most amazing thing about it is the author's imagination. It concerns the adventures of one Desmond Ruck, a man bigger than most physically and larger than most morally. He stumbles upon a Bill-Gates-size fortune in negotiable bonds and a beautiful South American bookkeeper somehow connected to it, who keeps disappearing into the clutches of assorted nefarious ...

Odyssey: 1970 (N/A)7 reviews
Inkwater Press, 2005
A Drifter Turned District Attorney Writes The Great American Novel
This is nothing short of a landmark novel. The precision of research into this segment of history melded into the deeply significant personal experiences of an author seasoned in his art feature a finesse worthy of the literary classics. I've never read a book, fiction or non, which accomplished more in clarifying alternate angles in play during a heated, hassled period of recent times. The ...

very nice book to teach about airplanes
My 36 mo old daughter has loved airplanes since the first day she went onto one. I think by now she must have been on one 22 times as we go back and forth between the caribbean, North America and Europe. I bought 2 books to help her understand more about them, and to add variety to her library at home. It's a very good book for both boys and girls.

Crossroads: 196910 reviews

Review of John W. Cassell's "Crossroads: 1969"
Review of John W. Cassell's "Crossroads: 1969" (Once, We Were Young) - By Jack Engelhard
John W. Cassell traveled to Europe in search of America and to understand this it helps to be a Child of the 60s -though in a sense we are all Children of the 60s since the art, the music, the literature and even the politics of that era, all of it is still very much alive. In "Crossroads: 1969," Cassell' ...

An Amazing Adventure8 reviews
Simon & Schuster, 2004
I could not put this book down.
One cannot possibly read this book and not develop a greater appreciation for the sacrifices, courage, determination and faith that the Liebermans made throughout the campaign and throughout their lives.
Not only is this a "biography" but it is also an excellent book on the political process, namely the campaign process. Throughout the book, the reader becomes acutely aware of the amount of ...

daily favorite
I purchased this book for my curriculum at school for my 4 year olds. But my grandson loves it so much that it hasn't made it to school yet. It is one of his daily favorites that we have to read multiple times. I love the informational components (he now knows what tracks, pistons, jacks, etc. are and what they do). I also love the rhyming component. It is a wonderful story especially if ...

E-Pulp Adventures (EpulpAdventures.com) and Travis Scott Greer, 2008
A great find ;)
"The Frenchman beside me had been dead since dawn. His scarred and shackled body swayed limply back and forth with every sweep of the great oar as we, his less fortunate bench-fellows, tugged and strained to keep time to the stroke."
Mr. Farnol brings back the pirate days of the Spanish Main in this stirring book filled with picturesque characters. It is a full-blooded, wholesome novel that ...

Rose Jaggars Eyres
Xlibris, 2008
Excellent reading to stir the imagination of any child.
Amazing Adventures at Pencil Point I found this book extremely appropriate for the reading material of any child. It was wholesome, and could keep the attention of any young reader. It will stimulate their minds to heighten that wonderful imaginative mind that young readers can find such pleasure in. In addition this book has no unquestionable ideas that are most important to the training and ...

To Mock a Mockingbird and Other Logic Puzzles: Including an Amazing Adventure in Combinatory Logic4 reviews
Raymond M. Smullyan
Knopf, 1985
Sweet and Simple introduction to functional programming.
This book by Smullyan is different from his other puzzle books, in that it is fully about puzzles from functional programming. The birds are functors that compute on strings. Self reference comes into play when the Mockingbird shows you what a fixpoint computation is. The phethora of birds may confuse you if you try to read it fast or skip solving the puzzles. The problems are not easy, it took ...

Spider-Girl Vol. 1: Legacy (Amazing Spider-Man)4 reviews
Tom DeFalco, Pat Olliffe
Marvel Comics, 2004
New collection, better price, same great stories
While the core Spider-Man comics were stagnating thanks to the ill-advised John Byrne relaunch, Tom DeFalco introduced Spidey's teenage daughter in an "unofficial" future. Very quickly it became clear that DeFalco's tales of May "Mayday" Parker -- wonderfully illustrated by Pat Olliffe -- captured the qualities of the earliest Lee-Ditko Spidey stories plus DeFalco's own great Spider-Man work ...

William Tuohy
Presidio Press, 2006
Very entertaining and insightful
I read this book as part of a History Day project I am doing on Dick O'Kane and the USS Tang. This book was extremely helpful. It tells the story of the Tang in a very thorough and easy to understand way. It's almost like you're there in the control room with the officers. Another great thing about this book is that it also gives you a good feel for the entire submarine force of WW2 by ...

Amazing Adventures of the Jewish People4 reviews
Max I. Dimont
Behrman House Publishing, 1984
Excellent overview of Jewish history for kids
In Max Dimont's view of Jewish history, "the saga of the Jewish people is a fantastic adventure story" (xiv) of survival against unbelievable odds. Every period of Jewish history presented a new challenge, whether persecution by a rival nation, assimilation into a foreign culture, or internal religious dissent. In every time-period, Judaism, and the Jewish people, faced the real possibility ...

The Book of Ezekiel
This is a great arc. First off the story begins where Spider-Man teams up with Loki!! It's not what you think. Your thinking that the Daily Bugle was right about Spider-Man and now he has turned to Loki's side. Nope. I think you'll be pleasently suprised.
Then we have another arc that ends the saga of Ezekiel!!
The artwork is great!!
The srory is great!!
