The Natural98 reviews
Bernard Malamud

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2003

The Defining Work
The Natural is the very best that baseball novels has to offer. As a reader, one follows the sordid life of Roy Hobbs as he tries to rebound from an indiscretion of youth that has derailed his career for many years. Just as in Frank Nappi's novel The Legend of Mickey Tussler, [[ASIN:0312381093 The Legend of Mickey Tussler], you find yourself cheering and rooting for this phenom to attain all ...
  
  











  



  
The Prayer Path: A Christ-Centered Labyrinth Experience1 review
Johnny Baker, Steve Collins, ...

Group Publishing, 2001

Clever
I am a religious education director who participated in one of these several years ago, so I knew what I was getting. I thought the kit could have been more helpful with instructions on how to buy, make or procure a labyrinth pattern. It was very frustrating to try to decipher the limited amount of instruction in the kit on that part (the labyrinth itself). However! This is an absolutely ...
  
  











  



  
Dreamland (P.S.)66 reviews
Kevin Baker

Harper Perennial, 2006

Intense, vivid, mesmerizing
Dreamland brought me into the world of New York at the turn of the 20th century, gritty, hard, cold, and stinking...yet amid all the filth and pain are people with hopes and hearts and dreams, those who struggle to find their place and some sense of joy. The inter-weavings of many POVs within the story give the reader a sense of fullness and a sense of truly having been there. Kevin Baker is a ...
  
  











  



  
Making Children Mind Without Losing Yours35 reviews
Kevin; Baker Book House Fleming H Revell Co Leman

REVELL, 2000

Wonderful for kids, spouses and coworkers
My mother-in-law gave me this book when I got married. I was not sure if it was for my husband or because she anticipated children :) I found the concepts in this book worked equally well for the kids, my spouse and my co-workers. I am always using the term "reality disipline".

Improved Graphics
The Deadman text is required by most TCM schools. If you have the previous version and already know your points this version might not be needed, you can always get the new CD when it comes out.

Sometimes You See It Coming11 reviews
Kevin Baker

Crown, 1993

If you love baseball, this book is for you!!!
I picked this book up at a book fair for a couple of bucks thinking it would be your average baseball book. Boy was I mistaken!!! Baker does an excellent job detailing the characters so you know exactly who they are. The first 100 pages or so does start slow, but after that, it becomes a definite page turner!!! Highly recommended for avid baseball fans.
  
  











  



  
Strivers Row: A Novel (P.S.)10 reviews
Kevin Baker

Harper Perennial, 2007

A thought-provoking historical fiction novel about 1940s Harlem
STRIVERS ROW is the third book in Kevin Baker's trilogy of historical novels about New York City. His ambition for these books is enormous, and it is the reader's good fortune that he has fulfilled, and then surpassed, the trilogy's huge potential. As DREAMLAND, the first book, took readers to Coney Island at the turn of the century, and the second, PARADISE ALLEY, took us to the Lower East ...

Warblers of Europe, Asia, and North Africa1 review
Kevin Baker, Jeff Baker

Princeton University Press, 1997

What an omission!
In the same series as the Helm ID guides to bird families, a series that is apparently beating Handbook of Birds of the World in being the first to catalogue Passerines in detail this book like others in the series apparently offers a breadth of coverage including illustrations and species accounts but the volume is seriously flawed compared to all the rest. It has chosen to avoid references to ...

Mystery Festival3 reviews
Kevin Beals, Carolyn Willard

Great Explorations, 1999

Get them involved
Students really got involved in science investigation as they tried to solve one of the mysteries in this book. During a summer camp for children ages 9-12, we used the mystery written for the older students. They loved the hands-on involvement and stayed engrossed all week. If your science curriculum is putting your students to sleep, this book will help you jumpstart their interest. There ...

The American Century; Volume III2 reviews
Harold Evans

Macmillan Audio, 1998

History with Substance
The obvious comparison with this book (and tape series) is Peter Jennings' "The Century." I've listened to both tape series. Here's the difference in a nutshell: Jennings' "Century" is slickly produced, grandly entertaining sound-bite history in which the Big Lies of right-wing "mainstream" media mythology are preserved without question. Evans' "Century" is nowhere nearly as slick or ...
  
  











  



  
The Big Onion Guide to Brooklyn: Ten Historic Walking Tours2 reviews
Seth Kamil, Eric Wakin, ...

NYU Press, 2005

A wonderful little guide probing many historic neighborhoods
Take a narrowed focus on Brooklyn, New York alone, put it in a tall but narrow pocket-sized take-along tote, add historic photos from the Brooklyn Historical Society along with maps and directions, and you have created a walking tour guide unique in its approach and scope, with The Historic Walking Tours: Big Onion Guide To Brooklyn. Several pages of fuzzy printing mid-book don't but temporarily ...
