Thank You Anne, Thank You Very Much
A running gag throughout this series involves the giant statue of Vulcan that looms over Birmingham and literally moons half of the town. Well it seems that someone put a hole in Vulcan's head and he of the massive moon is in need of repair so the people of Birmingham come to his aid. Among other things they hold a fund-raiser at the Alabama theater that features several acts including a chorus ...

Murder on a Bad Hair Day: A Southern Sisters Mystery 28 reviews
Anne George
Avon, 1996
I Just Love This Series!
Patricia Ann (Mouse) and Mary Alice (Sister) are sisters living in Birmingham, Alabama and though they love each other they have very little in common. That disparity in their personalities though is what makes these books so much fun, because their little spats and the tricks that they play on each other tend to drive the plot and are usually hilarious. Understanding the relationship between the ...

Legends II: New Short Novels by the Masters of Modern Fantasy17 reviews
Del Rey, 2003
Going back for more
Both Legends I and II are must haves for any SF/Fantasy fan. I orginally purchased Legends I for Robert Jordan's and Tad William's short stories. I then promptly put it up on my shelf for a few years. I picked up Legends II for the Robin Hobb short. I then also filed it on my shelf. Somehow I have made it through tons of fantasy while dodging some of the most "advertised" names. I recently ...

Murder Carries a Torch: A Southern Sisters Mystery (Southern Sisters Mysteries)39 reviews
Anne George

Pukey Lukey Bangs his Head
I have thoroughly enjoyed all of the books in this series so far and this one may well be the best of the bunch. Just where else could you find a story about a guy nicknamed Pukey Lukey whose wife ran off with a snake-handling preacher who was painting their house. Mary Alice (Sister) and Patricia Anne (Mouse) are always hilarious but with a plot line like this anybody could be funny.

Here's Looking Up Your Family Tree
They say that crab fishing is the most dangerous job on earth and that is probably true. On the other hand one would think that being a professional genealogist would be one of the safest jobs on earth. After all, what could happen to a genealogist? Maybe a paper cut or two and a pair of really strained eyes but real danger would seem to be out of the question. But apparently there are pitfalls ...

At least 30 percent of American companies, from American Express and Bank of America and IBM to Marriott, Procter & Gamble, Time Warner, and a host of smaller firms, subject their employees to one or more personality tests each year. Why do they do it? Employers want to hire and retain employees who are qualified, confident, resilient, even-tempered, and loyal. Personality assessments, like coaches, help them identify potential problems. ...

Published posthumously by her father, this book details the day-to-day experiences of a Jewish girl and her family in Nazi-occupied Holland over several years.

Textbook of Adult Emergency Medicine1 review

Churchill Livingstone, 2004
Great Emergency Medicine Textbook
I have found this book excellent to use. It is a pretty compact book covering most areas of emergency medicine in less than 1000 pages. The only downside is that sometimes due to this the finer details are missing.... but i guess that's what those big thick reference texts are for. Also it's written by members of the Australian College of Emergency Medicine so it's great for studying for ACEM ...

Tor Books, 1999
Some advice that may be helpful
This version of legends is divided into three parts, if you search for Robert Silverberg you can find it in one volume for about the same price, so that you get all three parts together for about a third of the price As to the book,I can only review the second part (I made the mistake of ordering legends 2 thinking that it was all 11 stories, but it was really just three.) The three stories that ...

PublicAffairs, 2001
Terrific re-telling of a gripping era in American history
I don't care what Repubs say, there was no liberal media bias apparent in this book. They showed both campaigns, warts and all, and let the public form its own opinion. The book was a fantastic behind-the-scenes re-telling of America's most recent Constitutional crisis, one that could have disrupted government for years to come. Of course, recent events have taken peoples' minds off of this ...

The Voyage of the Beetle4 reviews
Anne H. Weaver
University of New Mexico Press, 2007
An exciting voyage for all ages!
This is an engaging story of the incredible voyage of Charles Darwin that is both adventure story and a fresh look at the world around us. At first blush it is a humorous account of a wise beetle leading the enthusiastic Darwin from discovery to discovery, describing key encounters in his 5-year voyage. But it also leads the reader to consider one of the great scientific theories of our time - ...
