One More River to Cross: The Selected Poems of John Beecher

4 reviews
John Beecher, Steven Ford Brown

NewSouth Books, 2003

Beecher's is a much needed voice
For anyone who doesn't know about John Beecher, he was THE American social protest poet. (He died in 1980) His poetry is not technically complex, it's far from high art, but that's the point: it's poetry for common people about common people. His voice of protest is so heavily laden with the truth that it's impossible to ignore. In one poem in the book, he describes how standing up for the right ...

On Their Own: Creating an Independent Future for Your Adult Child with Learning Disabilities and ADHD: A ...

Anne Ford, John-Richard Thompson

Newmarket, 2007

Not just another self help book.
I was worried that I would be bored by all the language specific jargon so commonly used by professionals in books like these, but the insight and personal account of dealing with learning disabled adults kept me totally engrossed for the entire book. I wish more books about dealing with disabilities were written with such a human voice.

From the End of the Twentieth Century

John M. Ford

NESFA Press, 1997

Horde it like good osetra caviar...
At LAST a collection of Ford's far-flung short masterpieces! Ford, to me, is like osetra caviar: nobody knows the name, and only true caviar devotees know it's the best. And boy, is this the best. Gaiman hits it in the foreword: Ford is a writer's writer, and you can't pin him down to one particular spot. The collection is rife with brilliant masterpieces, little jewels where the title ...

Periodic Table (Quickstudy Reference Guides - Academic)

2 reviews

Barcharts Inc, 2002

A rich, durable, and handy reference of the Periodic Table and the properties of the elements
This is a terrific version of the periodic table for the serious science student. It has the atomic number, atomic weight, electronegativity, atomic radii and ionic radii, elctron affinity, and 1st ionization potential. It even defines what these terms mean, but if you can use the information, you already know. This chart covers the front two pages of this laminated chart (quite durable). ...

On Writing Science Fiction: The Editors Strike Back

Owlswick Pr, 1981

The Insider's View of Publishing
After chatting informally with George Scithers a few times in the rec.arts.sf.written newsgroup, I decided to get the book and read the answers to all the questions that I didn't dare blurt out in the newsgroup, primarily "how do you get published! " This book did a wonderful job of showing me the other side of the desk, of what editors are looking for when they look at manuscripts and how ...

Killer Whales: The Natural History and Genealogy of Orcinus Orca in British Columbia and Washington State

John K. B. Ford, Graeme M. Ellis, ...

Univ of British Columbia Pr, 1999

If you need to know about orcas...
This is an excellent book for anyone who is interested in orca whales. It has mass amounts of great information, it's easy to read, there are great photographs, and the ID catalogue of orcas is nothing but the best. This book is a must have for any whale-lover, researcher, or someone with just a general interest.

University of British Columbia Press, 1999

Mammal munching superstars
This is the definitive source for information on the transient or mammal hunting race of killer whales of the U.S. Pacific Northwest. If you are serious about learning what there is to know about these fascinating superpredators-this is THE book to buy. I am a naturalist on a whale watch boat in the San Juan Islands and we use this book constantly to inform our guests about the "alter egos" ...

Laughing Allegra

Anne Ford, John-Richard Thompson

Oasis Audio, 2003

If you have a special needs child, this is the book to read.
I have read many books out there, and this is the best one that I have found. This book is much better than Dana Buchman's book called "A Special Education" in which she constantly refers to her daughter's mild mental retardation as a "learning difference". In this book, the author is honest and tells it like it is.... she does not sugar coat it like Buchman's book. In Buckman's book, she ...

State University of New York Press, 1992

Superb overview of the history of process thought.
David Ray Griffin's essay on Hartshorne is more than worth the price of the book all by itself.

So GOOD
the title is as intriguing as the relationship between these two women.

The Pilgrim's Progress

2 reviews
John Bunyan

Tyndale House Publishers, 1999

Possibly the best modern English rendering.
I compared this version to 3 other "modern" versions, including Hazelbaker's, and prefer this one. Other renderings all seemed to take significant liberties with the original text by either adding or removing material or, more often, by losing the charm of the original. Written in a stone-cold jail cell above a river in 1670's England, Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress" is one of the great classics ...

If they loved "Dinosaur" they'll love reading about Aladar
My nephew is such a huge fan of the movie, "Dinosaur". He wants to know everything about Aladar, and this book has everything you ever wanted to know about him. What a joy it was to find this book. Now I'm getting one for all his cousins!!

Selected Poems

John Keats

AHM Publishing Corp, 1985

An Excellent Collection - See Alternatives Also
There are many good collections of the poetry of John Keats. This selection by John Barnard is quite good and has long served as a text for college classes. Barnard writes that the poetry of John Keats is uniformly serious and always poetic. Keats' prime concern was art and beauty. The casual reader may not even notice certain passages that resulted in severe political criticism by the Tory press ...

My daughter loves it
We gave our daughter this book a few days ago, and she hasn't put it down. She woke us up today to tell us about the pirate name she picked for herself (p. 11) and to show us the drawing she made of herself with a beard (p. 46). We recommend it! Arr!

JnJ Publications & Rainfall Books, 2007

Selection of stories from Rainfall Books' chapbooks
Cthulhu's Creatures was released in 2007 and I have only now gotten around to reviewing it. There are a number of reasons for that; I suppose my problem was that although I mostly enjoyed this book, the best stories were all reprints I already had, mythos poetry is just about never any good and the worst stories were not so hot. Rainfall Books is an enterprising press in the UK which produces ...

Irwin Professional Pub, 1999

A great insight on sales force management
While other books try to teach the selling process, this piece of art helps you understand all the issues underlying in a sales force area, it's administation, the relationship with pre and post sales areas and the way to succeed in a managing position. One of the best books I've read on this subject.

Epic Battles of the Civil War, Volume 3: Antietam

Historical Souvenir Co., 1998

Graphic History of the Battle of Antietam
I like these type of books because they help kids learn so much more about history than textbooks. I have ESOL students so it is even more important. I visited the Antietam battlefield where I purchased this book but guess I'm lucky, since it is unavailable now. I think my students will enjoy it.
