The Heart Sutra 5 reviews
Caren Wilton
University of Otago Press, 2003
An delightful snaphot inside the human condition
So different was my opinion of The Heart Sutra from that of the previous reviewer (Nov 20) that I wondered if we'd read the same book. It was a collection of gems - each one a carefully crafted and engrossing snapshot of the human condition, with characters so real that you might have met, travelled with, or perhaps even slept with one or two of them. Wilton evokes the real world in vivid ...

The Third Magic7 reviews
Welwyn Wilton Katz
Douglas & Mcintyre Ltd, 1988
An emotional ride from the present to the past.
It was amazing. I read the book quite a while a go, but the images that I pictures were so vivid and the description of the battle of cruelties between the two magics were so imaginative - 5 stars way up!!!

Turner in His Time, Revised and Updated Edition5 reviews
Andrew Wilton
Thames & Hudson, 2007
Terrific Introduction to J.M.W. Turner
I checked this book out at my local library. It is so good, I'm going to buy it. While I knew who Turner was and had seen one or two reproductions of his work in books about other, later artists, I had seen little of his work and knew nothing about him before reading this book. It has been an absolutely wonderful introduction and has spurred me to look for more about Turner's art. There are ...

American Sublime: Landscape Painting in the United States 1820-18804 reviews
Andrew Wilton, Tim Barringer
Princeton University Press, 2002
American Sublime: American Glory
The Hudson River painters were the first coherent school of American art to help shape the National view of the American landscape. The artists that came to maturity during Jackson's presidency defined the aesthetic of a nation who, until that moment, maintained its roots with courtly Europe. In American Sublime: Landscape Painting in the United States, 1820-1880, the reader journeys through this ...

Feathers And Fools
This book is great. I would recommend this book to everyone. In this book the swans and peacocks are enemies. This book is for all ages. The peackocks and swans had a fight, but some swans flew away. If you like great illustrations read Feathers And Fools by Mem Fox. By: Lauren M.

Where Does the Butterfly Go When It Rains?4 reviews

Where does the Butterfly go when it rains?
The original book if I am correct has blue and white illustrations. I owned this book until my mother either lost it or sold it for 25 cents at a garage sale. She felt so bad that she bought me the new edition which is beautiful. I am still looking for the original copy of of this book for it is fabulous!

Talking Heads (BBC Radio Collection)5 reviews
Alan Bennett
BBC Audiobooks Ltd, 2001
The Teddy Bear with Laser Eyes
Alan Bennett has been called England's National Teddy Bear, so beloved is his work and person. It's a sweet moniker, but misleading to those who may not have yet read Bennett. Insightful and compassionate with a wit so sharp it effectively amputates sentimentality, this is a Teddy Bear with laser eyes and sharp claws that are only just retracted. Bennett's character sketches in Talking Heads are ...

A Very Good Book!
For a book of just over 300 pages, this wrox book surely packs a punch! Firstly U'r biceps don't ripple when U carry it around and U'r pecs don't enlarge when U lie down to read it! Apart from the physical beauties of the book, it also contains a lot inside. I must admit, being a slightly above average developer, I was rather sceptical about the benefits of reading it but the reviews of the ...

A powerful book
I first read this book in 7th grade, and I continue to pick it up and read it even now in College... Katz does an amazing job with her characters in this book, as well as others I've read by her. She captures the essence of the worries and angst a teen goes through. Adding her slant, the depression and isolation that the young girl feels, is her telepathic/empathic connection to a mother ...

The 2005 version is not to be missed!
This is a catalog of Wilton products, pans, frostings, etc., and how to use them -- both in the traditional way (making a guitar cake out of the guitar pan) and non-traditional ways (making a camping cake out of a guitar pan). Wilton has finally taken notice that cake decorators are using candy and candy clays/fondants to decorate their cakes -- not just your mom's icing roses anymore! The 2005 ...

When God Prayed2 reviews
Don Wilton
B&H Books, 2008
Outstanding book
This book delves into the heart, mind, and spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ when he prayed. It is such a moving experience when you dig deep into the man who is Christ and how and what he prayed for. His undying devotion to God His Father and all that God asked of Him required a constant communication. This book looks at the relationship of God and Jesus and how Jesus prayed for all of us. He was ...

Last Gasp, 2002
Sultry, artistic, and REAL
Katz portrays love, wonder, sexiness, abstraction of form, and groundbreaking subject matter in this collection. The subjects do not feel posed, and yet the quality of light in the photos must have taken painstaking work to capture. Some pictures appear a bit dated by now (still have artistic merit) -- most though transcend time with sweet and provocative images of real women.

Beowulf1 review

Beowulf lives!
I have long been a fan of Beowulf, as I teach it in my 7th grade classes in conjunction with hero study. I love this version of Beowulf. The author answers some historical questions I have always had about the story. He has done extensive research into other versions of the Beowulf story,(including a favorite of mine by Rosemary Sutcliff.) Katz makes this a "human" and tender tale beneath ...

Super Book!
I bought this book for my [...] nephew who is very interested in cooking. Just last night I got invited over for a wonderful dinner prepared by this pint size chef. My sister has thanked me many times for bringing this book into their household. She still can't believe her child is doing the cooking, an experience he truly enjoys. This book is easy and fun for kids to use and the adults can ...
