Excellent Book
I love all of these books they all have a great message and I love the fact there is a set of books for boys in hockey that they can learn good sportsmanship, being a great teammate, friend, all with a little twist with a good moral ending.

A tragic, extraordinary father & son story from a chapter in Mafia history
I have read several reviews of A LICENSE TO STEAL from the life story of Walter Shaw and his late father. As the writer of the screenplay of this man's life, I felt it was important to offer some thoughts. Every review I have read, thus far, has been positive and each reader to whom I have spoken has been intrigued - and for good reason. I did the original research on this family and after ...

Brady Brady and the Singing Tree
While reading other books in the Brady Brady series, I always wondered how a boy could be named Tree. I wasn't sure whether that was his real name or a nickname. After reading Brady Brady and the Singing Tree, I now know the answer. Now, I also know the most secret dream of each of the Icehogs. They'd all love to play in the NHL, to play on a real NHL rink. All except Tree, that is, he has a ...

Mary Shaw, David Garlan

Prentice Hall, 1996

Loved it.
A great book on basic architectural patterns. The authors did a fine job of codifying the essence of architecture you have probably seen in practice (much like Gamma, et al did with design patterns. Great for telling your clueless boss what architecture is.

Brady Brady and the MVP
What makes for an MVP? Brady Brady thinks he knows. Kev may not be the fastest skater, the greatest goal scorer, or the hardest shooter but he's got a lot of heart. At every practice, Kev makes a big entrance and gets everyone ready to work hard. Before every game starts, he introduces himself to the referees and then cheers the team on with lots of positive chatter. Afterwards, Kev's always the ...

Brady Brady and the Twirlin' Torpedo

Cambridge University Press, 2003

Prof. Shaw writes an excellent introduction to French Poetry
I've had Professor Shaw for two classes already and I must say her classes are very informative and interesting. Not everyone has the pleasure of taking a class with her, but I recommend all my fellow French Literature majors out there to read this book. If you are a undergraduate and want to gain a broad knowledge of poetry ranging from the Medieval French poetry to contemporary Francophone ...

Addicus Books, 2001

Very close to home
I grew up just outside of Pocatello, Idaho and was the same age as Jaralee Underwood when she was kidnapped and murdered. James Wood haunted my dreams for many years and I was completely sickened by the things he did and the fact that he was even able to do the things he did...the man should never have walked out of the the Louisiana prison in the first place. What a sick awful man.

Brady Brady And the Runaway Goalie

Brady Brady and the Runaway Goalie
The Dragoons were the chippiest players in the league. While most teams practiced very hard and tried to win by being good, the Dragoons won games by hitting their opponents while the referee's back was turned or spraying snow in the goalie's face. No one liked to play against the Dragoons. It's no wonder that when the Icehogs were scheduled to play against the un defeated Dragoons, they were ...

It's the start of the new hockey season for the Icehogs. Brady Brady and all his friends are sure that this is going to be the best season yet. At the first practice, everyone is ready to work hard to get ready for their first game against the Hounds. But Chester the goalie isn't there. In fact, Chester doesn't show up for the game against the Hounds either. It goes without saying that the ...
