John E. Peterson

Bronze Bow Publishing, 2007

Good informative, detailed book.
A well put together book. His writing style is open and engaging. The section on breathing and blood pressure makes a huge difference to the value of isometrics. The exercises are clearly detailed and simple to follow. I have followed the routine and was impressed with the change in my muscle definition within a fortnight. The power breathing has reduced my waist by an inch. If you're ...

Timeless Musical Play Provides Unique Profile of Famous Ace
John Gray's play, a musical tribute to Canada's famous WWI ace Billy Bishop, VC, first performed in the 1970s, has become a classic of the Canadian theatre. It is still being performed in many places in North America, as well as other parts of the world, by theatre groups, and John Gray and Eric Peterson recently (within the past year or so) reprised their roles in "Billy Bishop Goes To War" on ...

G. K. Chesterton

Ignatius Press, 1996

Raise your standards of good writing and good mystery!
I happened upon this collection of short mysteries and got hooked! What unconventional and creative mysteries for Christians or non-Christians, Catholics or Protestants. My boyfriend (catholic) and I (protestant) tossed out our television sets in search of more constructive entertainment. We started reading these short stories to each other--fun evenings of mystery! Read Chesterton because he ...

naughty Dalmatian!
Who would think that Elvira, Mistress of the Dark would write a children's book that you'd want to have in your home? Not me! But this book is awesome! That's right - Cassandra Peterson, one of the co-authors, is better known as Elvira. Co-author John Paragon has a pet Dalmatian named Andy, who was no doubt the driving force of inspiration for this hilarious book of few words, but non-stop ...

The Little's Go to School
It was awesome. The adventures are so cool. I wish I could give it 1000 stars. I think everybody should read it because it's so funny. Tom and Lucy Little are going to school but a gerbil cage incident gets them to school a little too early!

It is a book about little people.
I think this is a good book because it keeps you interested. This is probably the best book I ever read. Let me tell you what the book is about. The story is about old Grandpa Little who everyone thinks is dead except Granny Little until Tom and Lucy find a secret room with Grandpa Little's journal. And then the Littles go exploing to find out that Grandpa Little is not dead. This is a good ...

Dorothea Johnson, John Harney

Benjamin Press, 2006

Children's Tea & Etiquette is highly recommended as an instructional tool
Children's Tea & Etiquette: Brewing Good Manners in Young Minds is more than a simple picturebook - it is a thoughtful etiquette manual to instruct readers in how to properly enjoy afternoon tea. Many of the social graces discussed extend into the practice of the general world. From basic polite phrases such as "please", "thank you", "may I", and "you're welcome", to what RSVP means, to table ...

The Littles to the Rescue
I am 7 years old and in 2nd grade.I like to read about the Littles because they are always having fun adventures.This story was interesting when the Littles traveled by rabbits, a cat, and a skunk.I try to think how much fun and how fast I could go on these animals. I like how the Littles get help from animals. I thought Aunt Lily was not going to make it in time for the baby. But with the help ...

Batman - Judge Dredd: The Ultimate Riddle

1 review
Alan Grant, John Wagner

DC Comics, 1995

Great Book and great art!
I've been a huge Judge Dread fun for a long time, and I was pleasently surprised to find these books of alternate universe fiction. His meeting with Batman was very well depicted, especially when the differences, as well as the hidden similarities, of the two heros were shown. Also, their different aproaches on how to fight their common enemy is one of the highlights of the book. A definite ...

The destiny of the Black race

2 reviews
Carlisle John Peterson

Lifeline Communications, 1991

Excellent, Balanced, Extensive Bibliography!
This is one of the most balanced and well written works that I have ever had the priviledge of reading on this topic. The author does not promote the black race as having superiority over others but clearly shows an equality that is oftentimes sorely missing in society. This is one aspect that gives the book balance and objectivity. Earl Paulk's work, ONE BLOOD, is another important book on ...

Birding by Ear: Western North America (Peterson Field Guide Audio Series)

3 reviews
Richard K. Walton, Robert W. Lawson

Houghton Mifflin, 1999

Excellent for the beginner/intermediate birder
As someone who is interested in improving their birding skills, I found this an excellent guide. The authors begin by explaining some basic bird facts related to vocalizations. They proceed with the recordings, which are grouped into birds with similar songs (the authors refer to this as "pairing"). This improves the listners ability to correctly identify the song with the bird. The last ...

The Collected Works of G.K. Chesterton: The Father Brown Stories (Collected Works of Gk Chesterton)

1 review
G. K. Chesterton

Ignatius Press, 2005

the inimitable padre in beautiful form
A classy Ignatius edition of the Father Brown stories. The design and tone of the book has venerable written all over it; it's wonderful to hold, big and thick (like its author), and the typeset is old fashioned by design. As for the stories, they're vintage Chesterton - wickedly wry, deceptively cogent, spare, hilarious and full to the brim with cagey things. Chesterton's mind in bloom! It's so ...

The Littles Have a Wedding
I would recommend the book "The Littles Have a Wedding'. It is a fun book about little people who have tails. They live in the walls of the Bigg's house. They have many fun adventures. In this book, they have a Wedding. This is why I would recommend this book.

Russell Lee Photographs: Images from the Russell Lee Photograph Collection at the Center for American History ...

2 reviews

University of Texas Press, 2007

Images for heart and mind
A wonderful large format and beautifully produced book of 140 photos by Russell Lee made more worthy because 101 of them have not been published together in book form. Lee is rightly famous for his FSA work though none of that output is included here. Instead there are photos from the Texas political scene from 1935 to 1965, Italy in 1960 where he did a portfolio of work commissioned by the ...

Mystery in the night woods

3 reviews
John Lawrence Peterson

Library Reproduction Service, 1980

A great book!
I've looked for this book for ten years, and can't believe I finally located it! I loved the story when I read it (circa 1975) but then lost track of the title. I knew it was about a bat and a flying squirrel, and it was called 'something...In the Night Woods.' A great mystery book for kids. Can't wait to read it again.

Foundations for Osteopathic Medicine

3 reviews

Williams & Wilkins, 1997

Great for beginning and experienced osteopaths.
This is the long awaited basic textbook for osteopathic medicine. It is surprisingly complete, covering philosophy, history, research, and manipulative techniques. The beginning osteopathic student may find it most useful for its practical discussion on the techniques--high velocity, myofascial release, etc. I believe it is also helpful in standardizing our terminology, which will make it ...
