Davenport: Jewel of the Mississippi (IA) (Images of America)
David Collins, Rich Johnson, ...

Arcadia Publishing, 2000

Adorable story!
I found this book when I was searching for a story from Kenya. I was putting together a unit on Kenya for third graders and came across this book and fell in love with it. The mother and son have a sweet relationship and the message of sharing and community come through in the end. Wonderful illustrations and several reference pages at the end of the story. Mama Panya's recipe for pancakes ...

Great Resource
I had been searching for an easy way to cure homegrown olives, and this book had the best process for me. It describes, compares and contrasts the different methods, and has a wonderful marinade recipe, too.

Essential Luke Cage/Power Man, Vol. 2 (Marvel Essentials)

1 review
Don McGregor, Bill Mantlo, ...

Marvel Comics, 2006

"Who is the man that'd risk his neck for his brother-man?" (Has it already been used?)
One of the good aspects of Mr. Cage (and I don't mean Nicholas, of course!!!) is that he doesn't want to be a world-saving superhero; although he wears a rather flashy costume and, sometimes, goes toe-to-toe with superheavies like "Dr. Doom" (but, then again, who hasn't had a run-in with him in the "Marvel Kingdon?"), he makes it quite clear that he's only trying to make a living, and, if he has ...

Jove, 1996

Not very romantic. More like a "family saga" story than a romance
From the back cover: In the heart of Texas lives a family as big and bold as the state itself. The Daltrys are as different as they come, each with his or her own strengths--and weaknesses. Every time a Daltry turns twenty years old, they are presented with a task by their grandmother. These challenges are intended to teach them about character--but they often learn quite a bit about love ...

Theology and the Political: The New Debate sic v (Sic)

1 review
Rowan Williams

Duke University Press, 2005

Fantastic Collection
This is a solid contribution to the burgeoning intersection of the religious and the secular (post-Marxist) especially as it relates to the reemergence of political theology (after communism) and the reexamination of St. Paul in continental theory (Agamben, Badiou, Taubes, Zizek, Graham Ward et al). This volume does not ring as a manifesto--there is not enough agreement among the essays to forge ...

Good old fashioned romance
After the Civil War, genteel Kathleen Deveraux finds herself in extremely straitened circumstances. Desperation finds her answering an advertisement to be the bride of a " handsome, prosperous lumberman " in Oregon.

Mountain Magic

Hard Shell Word Factory, 1999

LOGAN WINFIELD thought school teachers should be old and homely, but the one he'd hired turned out to be too little, too young, and much too sassy. "You don't belong here. I'm sending you home!" "Not likely!" ELIZABETH EASTGATE snapped back. No wooly-faced hillbilly was going to send her packing. She didn't care how big he was. Watching the sparks fly between the two, Granny Jo Winfield smiled, then set out to make a match.

Shape Of Color: Excursions In Color Field Art, 1950-2005, The
Christian Eckart, Mark Cheetham, ...

Art Gallery of Ontario, 2005

Color field art covers more acreage than you might expect. In this major reappraisal cataloguing an exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, the definition is extended to include both contemporaneous works in media other than painting and recent iterations by younger artists. Thus, artists more often deemed Minimalist, such as Dan Flavin, Sol LeWitt, Fred Sandback, and Robert Irwin, are seen as responding to ambitions expressed in ...
