Standing in the Light: The Captive Diary of Catharine Carey Logan (Dear America)

104 reviews
Mary Pope Osborne

Scholastic Inc., 1998

A beautiful book with a gripping narrative!
I love reading books in diary form and the "Dear America" series of books for younger readers are not only beautifully bound, but each individual story is truly engaging, transporting readers into a bygone era with its entailing adventures. The heroines are typically young girls who find themselves in extraordinary circumstances - and having to display immense courage in trying times. ...

Sams, 2000

Most Current, to date,that I've discovered, on the Gimp
I have searched high and low for a decent book on the Gimp. There are a several, good references ("Learning the Gimp in 24 Hours", "Essential Gimp for Web Developers", etc.) though many are out dated due to the rapid progress progress the developers. The Gimp, an excellent example of what open source cooperation produces, is well represented in this book. The author illustrates the use of the ...

Carey Holzman

McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2003

As clear as every computer book should be
When you work or deal with young people, talking about computers is a big challenge and most of the times you feel like a "dummie or an idiot". This forces you to run to Barnes & Noble or the local Library to end up more confused and frustrated not knowing which book to pick. "The Healthy PC" is not as tedious as other computer books, on the contrary once you start reading you will not stop, and ...

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Book 3)

J.K. Rowling

Scholastic, 1999

The series truly begins.
I love Prisoner of Azkaban. I think that this was the novel that really hooked me into the series. I have a hard time writing a literary review of any of the Rowling novels mainly because I do not feel like I'm reading a novel when I read these books, I feel like I'm on vacation. I'm transported into another world and forget to look at the subtext or deeply analyze anything that the writer is ...

Childrens Books
This is one of the most beautiful and tender stories I've ever read about a working momy and the seperation she and her baby son must go through every day when she goes off to work and he goes to school. It helped me and my son a lot knowing that other families go through a similar process of separation anxiety. It also has beautiful pictures and eases the insecurities most little children go ...

Beginner's Guide to Braiding: The craft of Kumihimo (Beginner's Guide to)

20 reviews
Jacqui Carey

Search Press, 1997

excellent how-to book
The author makes this very easy. Granted this is a beginners book but you can still make a 'pretty' on your first effort. Her dimensions for a wooden marudai (stand) were so accurate that my husband made me one from scrap hardwood in his shop. Like most arts/crafts,you can go forward from this point and get into really complicated braids, or not....the choice is up to you. There are many ...

Change Me into Zeus' Daughter

56 reviews
Barbara Robinette Moss, Michael Carey

Loess Hills Press, 1999

Find Joy In the Most Desparate of Situations
Change Me Into Zeus's Daughter is a powerful and poignant story of impoverished life as experienced by Barbara Moss. Surrounded by poverty, alcoholism, abuse, malnutrition and facial deformities, Moss could easily have allowed herself to be trapped in that negative world. Instead, through determination and the kindness of a few strangers along the way, she rose above adversity and has been ...

Belles on Their Toes

Frank B. Gilbreth, Ernestine Gilbreth Carey

Harper Perennial, 2003

Awesome sequel
I can't believe I didn't know this book existed till very recently; I would have bought and read it a whole lot sooner had I known, having read the first book about five or six times. It's in the same funny spirit as the first, though the focus has shifted from the antics of the entire family to the mother's struggle to take care of her eleven children after her husband died. And the funny ...

The Third Millennium: Living in the Posthistoric World

Ken Carey

HarperOne, 1995

The Poetic Voice of God
Of all the personal growth/spirituality books I've read in the past 30 years, this is the one I love the most. In a lucid and inspiring style I can only characterize as "poetic prose" I felt the influence of divine presence in every line of this beautiful book. I've enjoyed several other books by Ken Carey, particularly "Starseed Transmissions" and "Flat Rock Journal". However, "The Third ...

Joseph Carey Merrick - the Man, the Soul
'Tis true my form is something odd but blaming me is blaming God, Could I create myself anew I would not fail in pleasing you. If I could reach from pole to pole or grasp the ocean with a span, I would be measured by the soul - the mind's the standard of the man. I bought this book many years ago, unfortunately I made the mistake of lending it to someone and I never got it back. This is a ...

Where is D.L. Carey
I lied...I haven't read the book. However, I HAVE been in touch with Diane Carey, and she says that the publisher made the decision to abandon the trilogy due to some unrelated internal problems. She expressed that same disappointment that you all seem to; the series was very special to her. Count yourselves among the fortunate to have read the first two installments...I can't find them ...

Please Read
i'm a critical reader, not gullible to new age babble, and i'm asking you, if you are drawn to this volume, to please read this shimmering book of hope. return of the bird tribes resonates so deeply. i've read and re-read it, given this book away, cited passages aloud to friends, and it never ceases to move me or those it touches. i wasn't prepared for its effect; it is sheer beauty, sheer ...

MonkeyBrain Books, 2005

Chris Davies is WRONG!
Having read both this book from cover to cover and the reviews that are posted on this sight, I can only conclude that one of the reviewers has an axe to grind with one or more of the writers responsible. Don't let that sway you; this is an excellent book that, yes, occasionally offers up contradictory information - if you take the time to read the introductory portion CAREFULLY, you will note ...

Wiley, 2007

A modern, analytical textbook on global marketing
I teach Global marketing and I think this textbook is the best. It is not full of anecdotal stories about global marketer's failures or successes but very analytical with straightforward methods students can try out. The cases are excellent and support the theorical lectures very good. From my experience with the research literature it is state of the art.

Carey H. Lt Cash

Presidio Press, 2005

Always Faithful
You don't need to fully understand the military to understand and feel the power of this book. Lt. Cash, a chaplain serving with the Marines in Iraq, writes in an easy to read style. His words aren't always easy to read, but they are full of the power of God and the enormity of Operation Iraqi Freedom. I never realized the military was such a spiritual place--yet another reason to continually ...

Best book for ANYONE that has ever been depressed or Anxious
I have suffered ppd for the last 1.5 years. It was so bad I had to go on medication and since then had to up my dose. This book has helped me see why this has happened to me and how a person gets depressed in the first place. IT is NON judgemental and also validating but besides that it tells you how to RECOVER! It is a wonderful book. It doesn't leave anything uncovered. I want Valerie Raskin ...
