A HOME RUN HIT!
In "Watching Weather," Tom Murphree, Ph.D. and Mark K. Miller hit a home run! They've succeeded where many scientific writers have failed; Murphree and Miller were able to translate this complex subject, i.e., atmospheric dynamics, into plain English. As an operational meteorologist and educator, I highly recommend this book. A must buy!

Glowing portrayal of sailing in remote and exotic locations
The author's portrayal of a midnight watch with no horizon in sight burns etherial images in my soul. "...I see stars staring up at me from a mirrored sea. There are stars above. There are stars below -- not a whisper of a breeze. I have the sensation that I am floating, suspended in the center of a glass ball completely surrounded with stars." Complimenting the visions of exploring rich, ...

Understanding the Ooze of LIfe
The Blood of Kings by Linda Schele and MAry Ellen Miller was written on the occasion of the Kimbell Art Mesuem's exhibition of Maya Art in 1986. The hope was to draw attention to the rich legacy of Maya art along with a book that would give texture to these artistic recordings of the singificant ritual events in the lives of the Maya. What better way, since art has been our keyhole to ...

"There was a feller here once, by the name of..."
Mark Twain is undoubtedly America's "Great Man of Letters." A complicated author, he flowed easily through humor, satire, psychological horror, politics, religion, and pretty much any other subject imaginable. He was able to hold up a dark mirror to society, and stare unflinchingly at the organizations, traditions, and political and moral decay that always threaten to drown a civilization. And he ...

a must for every school library
Most of us know the fables of Aesop - so why is it worthwhile to have yet another compilation of his fables? There is few pieces of literature, which have such a wide spanning influence on the world literature as Aesop's fables. A reflection of these original works should always be welcome. Mayvis Anthony manages to put the fables into the context of Aesop's life, which is narrated ...

Review of Harbrace College Handbook (Revised 13th Edition)
I have used the Harbrace College Handbook for 31 years. My first was the 5th Edition, which I keep on the top in one of my desk drawers. I used it throughout college. I bought this edition for my father, who gave me the first one, and seems to have lost his own copy (he's 86!). This edition is much thicker than the 5th one -- these books are not exactly "reading material," but a reference ...
