Tribune Pub, 1995

A wonderful look at Central Florida's rich historical past
"Flashbacks: The Story of Central Florida's Past," by Jim Robison and Mark Andrews is a wonderful look at Central Florida's rich historical past. This book was made possible by a grant to the Orange County Historical Society from Walt Disney World and is co-published by the Orlando Sentinel. It was a wise investment...Central Florida's history is truly amazing. I took interest in the ...

You'll learn a lot from this book
I attended a book signing in the Gonzales County Courthouse and heard the author speak about this book. I was very interested by what I heard and became more so after glancing through the illustrations. Later, after having read it, I have to admit it answered so many nagging questions I'd had over the years. A veteran of the Great Flood of '98, for example, I was most interested in learning about ...

Frances Lincoln Childrens Books, 2010

Great rhyming book!
We checked this out from our local library, and my kids love it so much I had to buy our own copy. My children (ages 6 and 4) both love this book. Its simple enough for my beginning reader (6) to read aloud to his younger brother, and entertaining enough for the grown-ups when we read it over and over again. Plus, it has a nice educational lesson about the perils of saying "No!" to everything and ...

Hooked on a Victorian
This is the second part of the five part groups of graphic novels first published as seperate comics by Penny farthing.As an acknowledged comic/graphic novel geek I have found this collection of works to be really different.True you have your usual villian and hero but it is the way the book is worked that makes it different.In this particular collection the real reason for the jackass fake note ...

Vietnam's Forgotten Army: Heroism and Betrayal in the ARVN

6 reviews
Andrew Wiest, Jim Webb

NYU Press, 2007

A Modern Greek Tragedy told with mastery of detail of human bravery and fragility.
`Vietnam's Forgotten Army" is about two ARVN soldiers and how they have lead their lives based on the concepts of Freedom - Country - Family - Duty - Honor. Their stories of loyalty, betrayal, life, death, love and hate are told so brilliantly compelling that makes it impossible to put the book down. The South Vietnamese Army is probably the military force that is most analyzed and most ...

friends of ED, 2006

Outstanding. Absolutely every web developer and website owner needs to own this.
This text book is of very high quality and an engaging read. Apart from the expected target audience of web developers, I will suggest that website owners and non-developers should consider getting hold of this vital textbook. The fact that it leaves you wanting more is a compliment to its quality. Even though it is bulky, I wished it had covered certain areas in more detail. One small ...

There are almost 150 poems, songs, and lullabies collected here featuring the works of Shakespeare,Emily Dickinson, Christina Rossetti, Edward Lear, Ralph Waldo Emerson, R.L. Stevenson, Robert Frost, William Blake, Shel Silverstein, and many more. In ...

Twentieth-Century Roots of Rhetorical Studies:

2 reviews

Praeger, 2001

The Truth of Rhetoric Revealed
I wanted to share with you what others have said about this book: The editors "have brought together a volume dedicated to reclaiming a usable past and countering the belief that `the world began in the middle of the 1960s.' In doing so they have created a volume characterized by clear--even eloquent--style, keen wit, pointed and forceful argument, and clear and penetrating conclusion. A ...

Polishing God's Monuments: Pillars of Hope for Punishing Times

Jim Andrews

Shepherd Press, 2007

A Life Impacting Book
There are few books that have impacted me like this one has. In a time when so many churches preach prosperity, happiness without an end and a life with no problems, Pastor Jim Andrews reminds us that God's purpose in life is not to make us happy, but to make us holy. As he relates the story of his daughter and son-in-law, who seem to know no end to their "sorrows", he teaches that even in the ...

Riddle, The: Where Ideas Come from and How to Have Better Ones

Brilliance Audio on CD, 2008

Magnificent, a fun read with worthy insights
The Riddle: Where Ideas Come From and How to Have Better Ones fills a void that serious managers should address to insure long-term success. For ages managers were satisfied to find new opportunities with nothing more sophisticated than serendipity. This mantra can be summarized as "Even a blind pig finds an acorn once in awhile." I have repeatedly asked, "Isn't there a better way to find ...

Air War over Korea - Aircraft Specials series (6082)

Jim Mesko

Squadron/Signal Publications, 2000

Nice Photo-History of the Korean Air War!
Jim Mesko, who has written a number of military history books for Squadron/Signal, gives the Korean air war the once-over in this comprehensive, eminently readable summary of that long ago conflict. Given the limitations of a 64-page S/S "Special," Mesko does a good job of summarizing the air action. While the subject has been covered before by other books, Mesko's comments on the U.S. ace ...

All Aboard for An Animal Concert!
I was roped into reading this for a story time and really got on board! The story is of a train traveling down the track at night picking up animals for a concert party. The book has fun pictures and a sing-song rhythm. Kids will catch on quickly and join in for the animal sounds. Great picture book.

Mummy: The Resurrection (World of Darkness)

9 reviews
Andrew Bates, Kraig Blackwelde, ...

White Wolf Publishing, 2001

Ancient Wisdom in the Modern World
Mummy: The Resurrection, like Kindred of the East, is an add-on sourcebook for the World of Darkness, and also like Kindred of the East, it's hands-down some of the finest work ever done by White Wolf. The showpiece of the book, of course, is the new breed of mummy which has appeared in the World of Darkness. In the wake of the Year of the Reckoning, Osiris has stirred from his long slumber, and ...

Technical Readout 3050/Battletech: The Return of Kerensky

3 reviews
J. Andrew Keith, Jim Musser

Fasa, 1990

Good all around
If you play the Clans, you NEED this book. Great data on all the major Clan 'Mechs. Some say it's not as good as TR3025 or TR3060. The books cannot be compared. 3025 was IS only. 3060 included a whole lot of Level 2.5 tech, and introduced ProtoMechs. But 3050 was just 'Mechs, Clan and IS. The new IS Mechs aren't that great, and some aren't well thought out, but you must remember that at this time ...

Image Comics, 2007

A little something for everyone!
There's a little something for every taste in comics. My personal favorite and the main reason I bought this was for "Jazz" starting on page 375. Words and art by my favorite artist Moritat. Start there and then go thru the rest of the book. If you're a comic fan you will find a lot to like about this anthology of short stories and all the different styles featured here.

This is a wonderful book for the person who loves the north and photographs of people who live and work there. The photographs are wonderful descriptions of the people and the landscape.
