In August 1933, Eleanor Roosevelt visited the impoverished coal communities of north central West Virginia. Suffering from the effects of the Great Depression, these coal families looked to the First Lady for help out of the devastating economic times. Her visit spurred the creation of Arthurdale, the nation?s first New Deal Homestead Community. Arthurdale quickly became known as ?Eleanor?s Little Village? because of the First Lady?s involvement ...

Great patterns but not a big range of sizes
A good selection of lovely patterns, contemporary-feeling but classic enough to last, mainly (but not entirely) in the fitted cardigan category. I like the use of beads in some patterns, and the different stitch patterns used to achieve stitch texture. The book is high in production values, with good photography and a very Rowan- or Bliss- like feel. My biggest quibble is that the sizing is ...

This Author Speaks the Truth
From the title (it comes from a game that a high school English instructor has his students play in class) to the plot, the character development and its themes, Amanda Griffith's first novel written for young adults-- and we hope not her last-- should appeal first to teenage girls. It also has something to say, however, to young men, teachers, parents and other adults as well as anyone who ...

An excellent concept
I think this book is for intermediate-advanced knitters, as you are still essentially making up your own pattern and need to use some judgement/experience in the process. I agree with D G Van Velsen. I too live in Australia where 8-ply is most common and, while different yarn wieghts and larger sizes would be a wise inclusion, I am lucky enough to be quite average in size, so find this book ...

Classic, WEARABLE designs
This book has more classic, wearable designs than I have seen in a knitting book in a long time, and I do a lot of looking. There are multiple views of each design. While the yarns used are luxury (i.e. expensive), they are not outrageous, they are good quality (Jaeger, Rowan, Debbie Bliss) and information on each is given at the beginning of the book should you wish to substitute. There is ...

Coming Into Our Own
As a writer and a long-time fan of fantasy literature, I was thrilled to see this collection. Overall, the quality is good. This is a solid, entertaining read. But more, it is a ray of hope for an under- and often mis-represented group of people in genre literature. Hopefully, with the publication of this collection, and it's companion science fiction anthology, we will be seeing more gay and ...

An analysis and evaluation of the processes of communication among deaf children. Emphasizes actual observation in schools rather than relying solely on tests and experiments. Offers a number of criticisms of educational methods and teaching techniques, arguing that many of the deaf child's problems are not a 'natural' product of the disability but are created by ineffective educational methods.
