descriptive and lively settings
Sparks does an OUTSTANDING job with describing the settings of this story.....one can "vividly see" the places throughout the story.....i found myself reading this book slower than i usually do because it was just so much better for my imagination....i wanted to make sure i "soaked" in the environment.....GREAT job Sparks! Thanks for such a beautiful story.

John Jeavons

Ten Speed Press, 2006

Not a book for "casual backyard gardening"
The people who are disappointed with this book are the ones who bought it without understanding what it was. This book isn't a "gardening for the soul" book of fluff, nor is it a typical "how to get bigger tomatoes" text. What this book is is a compendium of information on growing as much food as possible for real, live people to eat. Yes, it delves into the science and discusses the big, ...

Touchpoints-Birth to Three (Touchpoints)

T. Berry Brazelton, Joshua D. Sparrow

Da Capo Press, 2006

Great Insight Into Behaviorial Development And More
There are so many books on the market about parenting in the first few years of your baby's life. I have read a dozen of them, and was mostly disappointed. The "What To Expect" books, for example, are very wordy, and have very pragmatic advice, but for me lack some "depth". Brazelton's book, by contrast is both pragmatic and philosophical, giving parents much more depth on this subject. I ...

Barrel Fever: Stories and Essays

David Sedaris

Back Bay Books, 1995

David Sedaris is too funny for color television
I swear, David Sedaris is one of the funniest human beings alive today. Whether recalling his high school days in Raleigh, North Carolina, or wandering the world from Normandy to Japan with Hugh, he always seems to be able to find the funny side of life. What is remarkable is his ability to find the humor in situations that are sad and tragic. There can a dark side to humor sometimes, a ...

A favorite classic!
This book was a favorite with our first child 10 years ago, and we just bought another copy for our 1-yr.-old! I love the flowing, rhyming prose, and the illustrations allow for so much discussion and interaction. As with Dr. Suess books, I find myself repeating the words throughout the day (like when we're eating berries!) I definitely recommend this book!

The Charlemagne Pursuit: A Novel

Ballantine Books, 2008

The Challenge Of Democracy: Brief Edition
Kenneth Janda, Jeffrey M. Berry, ...

Houghton Mifflin Company, 2006

Based on the best-selling, full-length text The Challenge of Democracy, Eighth Edition, this brief version maintains the same framework and motifs in a shorter format. The pedagogy is linked to two main themes: the conflicting values of freedom, order, and equality, and the majoritarianism versus pluralism debate. In addition, a focus on globalization and its implications helps students put American government in a broader context. An ...

Management Lessons from Mayo Clinic: Inside One of the Worlds Most Admired Service Organizations

Leonard L. Berry, Kent D. Seltman

McGraw-Hill, 2008

From someone who spent 25 years with Mayo Clinic
I retired from Mayo Clinic 5 years ago, after spending 25 years with the organization in senior administrator capacities. I now live in Bellingham, WA, where I mentioned this book to the administrator of our local hospital and VP of a high-quality regional healthcare system. She said she had it on the top of her "to read" pile, but before doing so, she asked, "Is it true?" My answer is a ...

The Challenge Of Democracy
Kenneth Janda, Jeffrey M. Berry, ...

Houghton Mifflin Company, 2006

This best-selling, mainstream American government text is both a comprehensive introduction and a complete program, with the print text and ancillaries carefully crafted to work together to benefit both instructor and student. The Ninth Edition maintains its highly acclaimed, non-ideological framework, exploring three themes: freedom, order, and equality as political values; the majoritarianism vs. pluralism debate; and globalization's effect on ...

Steve Berry

Ballantine Books, 2007

Once again Berry is excellent
I am a fan of Berry so I am a little biased but I thought this book was right in line with the others with Cotton Malone as the central character. An enjoyable read for sure. I enjoy the way Berry continues to build his characters. This one is involves a fun look at history with a nice blend of conspiracy, action, and mystery!

Laura Geringer, 2006

Imaginative retake on an old story! Fabulous illustrations!
This is a great book for the youngest readers! Your little ones will delight in the Gingerbread Cowboy's chase across the barren lands of the Old West as he runs to save his life. Many animals are after him but he manages to outwit them all, even the clever old coyote, with the help of the rancher's wife. Kids will laugh when they hear the Gingerbread Cowboy chant, " ... You can't catch me, ...

Soulcraft: Crossing into the Mysteries of Nature and Psyche

23 reviews
Bill Plotkin, Thomas Berry

New World Library, 2003

Great Book!
If you've never been on a wilderness rite-of-passage before this book offers insight into the practice. Plotkin blends psychospiritual insight on every page. This book is a primer for the ancient practice of the Vision Quest and within this rubric offers a detailed account of the process. Like Plotkin notes, a wilderness journey into the mysteries of the soul is not a place for the weak of ...

Wendell Berry

Sierra Club Books, 2004

Discovering a buried treasure
I grew up in Clarksville, TN, on the border with Guthrie, KY. Up the road not too far is Port Royal, KY, where one of the greatest living Americans still resides. He has lived there as long as I have been alive, and I am now over 30, but I had never heard of Wendell Berry until I had passed my thirtieth year. Were it not for the incomparable radio program "Unwelcome Guests", I may never have ...

The Drowned and the Saved

Primo Levi

Vintage, 1989

As important as a book gets
It is redundant to praise this book or describe its background, which has been done very well by other reviewers. This was Levi's final wrestling with the implications of what he called the Lager (he didn't use the term 'Holocaust'), not only as he experienced it, but more generally. Just a few points that may be less obvious. Levi never uses the phrase "survivor guilt," and his choice of ...

Gary Dessler

Prentice Hall, 2004

Considering the intensely competitive nature of business today, this book focuses on practical applications that all managers can use to deal with their HR-related responsibilities, while being able to defend their plans and contributions in measurable ...

Mick Berry, Jason Gianni

See Sharp Press, 2003

Excellent introduction to the history of rhythms and drumming
I've been drumming for about a year, taking lessons from Mick ,the author of this excellent book. I use this book every time I practice either as a reference, to learn new stuff, or to get new ideas. I love the background information on each section and feel the book helps to understand rhythm and drumming from a worldwide historical perspective. Each section teaches solid basics and some ...

RH Disney

RH/Disney, 2006

We LOVE this series!!!
We own all of this series! Started reading them when my daughter was 4 (she just turned 5 now), and they are age appropriate. Not too scary and always a happy ending. One book only takes us about 4-5 nights worth of reading together. The longer ones are good too "Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg" and "Fairy Haven and the Quest for the Wand", but they are a little bit scarrier than the ...

Wendell Berry

Counterpoint, 2001

Great Read! Couldn't put it down!
I'm 45 years old, from Indiana, and a barber's daughter. I'm pretty sure I know some of the people that Jayber talks about. The stories weren't only about what the people were experiencing, but what they were thinking and feeling. My favorite quotes: "I don't get paid to cut hair. I get paid to know when to stop." "He didn't yet know all that he was going to know." AMEN to that!

Excellent Book
I recommend it to anyone interested in growing fruit at home. The information about the different varieties of each type of fruit was very useful.

The Alexandria Link: A Novel

111 reviews
Steve Berry

Ballantine Books, 2007

Entertaining, but unoriginal
A well written novel that does well by drawing the reader into the story. But the premise is week and poorly researched. The author's understanding of Bibilical History and classical Hebrew are limited at best, as is his knowledge of the literarly devices commonly used in Classical Hebrew. Having said that, this is yet another attempt to discredit Biblical truth, both that of the Jewish faith ...
