Excellent choice for reading
I first read these books when I was in H.S. They inspired me to want to be a better person and devote myself to good works. I know that sounds odd but these are no ordinary books. I recently reread them and found them to be even better than I remembered. These are noble books written by a noble man. Tragically the author died from cancer at a very young age. The background for these books may ...

Burned and Burdened...
Author Jana Cone has chronicled a puzzling murder case in which the outcome of the trial was questioned and a life in the balance. Cone did an exceptional job of writing the facts in the case of a woman accused of killing her mother; and made it readable.It is one thing to report a high profile murder case and another to make it read like a novel. Outstanding.

A book that easily catapults you into the next level!
I found Leslie's book accidentally a year ago in an airport bookstore. I had no idea what the book was about, only that I was burned out working in a small job in a toxic work environment. It was so inexpensive, I bought it. When I began to sift through it, I wondered how these little simple worksheets would be able to do anything like the cover promised - rekindling the passion. I could not ...

How public policies can destroy communities
This book gives a thorough analysis on how public policies were the catalysts for the socioeconomic destruction of low-income communities of color in New York City. Necessary reading for those who still do not realize that activism and organizing are important vehicles through which marginalized communities keep in check the forces that seek to further fragment and disenfranchise them.

A great first effort by America's greatest popular author.
Roe was a chaplain and war correspondent during the Civil War. After the Chicago fire, he was moved to write this stirring account of that tragedy. The conflict between the two main characters is more mezmerizing than the fire! This is an outstanding book by my favorite author.

The definitive book on the '06 Quake and Fire
Numerous writers and historians have told me that "The Earth Shook The Sky Burned" is still the definitive book on the events of 1906. Why have they told me this? Because my father wrote the book! In any case, there is a reason the book has stayed in print for almost fifty years - it was meticulously researched and is an amazing pictorial essay. It is a must-have for anybody interested in ...

Set-up like a film
I found an advance copy of this novel at my postal center, laying on the table. So, I took it home and read it. I really enjoyed the novel. I found it sensual, exciting and fun. The down-side is that it gets pretty military at some points. And I'm not a military guy. The story tells about Captain Francis "Franco" Chevalier who is caught in an impossible situation, with a corrupt boss ...

Perfect for Emergencies!
In the early days of my culinary training, I encountered practically every "disaster" known to cooks! Although I have made improvements, I still keep this book always close by. Every cook, regardless of skill or talent, knows the frustration of something going wrong. This book will show readers not only how to repair and salvage the food but also how to best avoid potential disasters. A copy ...

Loved Regan Mercer
It's tough going to a new school, with a new set of cliques to figure out, but Regan Mercer knows how it works. She and her best friend from her former school developed a clissification system for rating friends. A, B, or C, with C being another word for desperation, and Regan's never been all that desperate. She tries out for cheerleading and beats Kendra Farnsworth, who apparently considers ...

The Boy Who Burned Too Brightly
This book is an excellent representation of the typical student who has been diagnosed as Attention Deficit/Hyperactive Disorder. It give a realistic view of how these children are perceived and treated in school systems. It also presents many of the myths associated with these children and treatments or mistreatments associated with this syndrom. I highly recommend it for parents of ...

Excellent book- a must read!!
This is a great book, written just after the Chicago fire happened. The author, Edward Payson Roe, visited the city while it was still smouldering, and talked to many of the people who had been through the fire. However, the book is not only historically interesting, but wonderful as a novel as well. It is a purely fictional story, but based on fact. I guess you could call it a romance novel, but ...

Robert S Pesich

An amazing voice
Pesich has a way of taking intimate actions - a spider observed in the garden, a datura blossom, a mother cooking peppers - and enlarging them to universal forces. Conversely, he can take large, almost incomprehensible things - like the strife in his ancestral Yugoslavia - and make them immediate and personal. A captivating collection!
