Anne Willan's Cook It Right 4 reviews
Anne Willan
Readers Digest, 1998
Good gift for a new cook...or old cook..
I used to cook a lot, but got away from it for many years -- eating out in restaurants while I pursued a career. I read an article about Anne Willan in our local paper, and had to try one of her books. I'm not ready to make the fancy French dishes (although I would like to eat them) so I decided to buy a simple book and practice the basics again. Ms. Willan explains many basic recipes in this ...

The Politics of Hallowed Ground: Wounded Knee and the Struggle for Indian Sovereignty9 reviews
Mario Gonzalez, Elizabeth Cook-Lynn
University of Illinois Press, 1998
important model for rewriting Indian and U.S. history
What first strikes this reader is the very frank and engrossing personal narrative, as well as the description of the on-going political struggle of the Sioux in their battle for the return of the Black Hills in South Dakota. The diary entries of lawyer Mario Gonzales and the commentaries of Elizabeth Cook-Lynn gave me an opportunity to re-think important events in Sioux and American history ...

Commanding Right and Forbidding Wrong in Islamic Thought1 review
Cook
Foundation Books, 2007
Monumental Work
Cook has achieved something special in this work. He demonstrates that he is a rare and gifted scholar with an awesome ability to intregrate vast seas of thought into one coherent whole. This work covers "Commanding Right and Forbidding Wrong" from its origins in the Koran up until modern times, though he focuses upon the classical period throughout the vast majority of his book. All sects ...

Disease Proof Child: Feeding Kids Right by Dr. Joel Fuhrman
This is one of the BEST books I have read on nutrition and living healthy. The other BEST book I have read in the same regard is Eat To Live by same author Dr. Joel Fuhrman. Both books are a "must read". Dr. Fuhrman offers practical, straightforward informantion and anyone can comprehend and apply to their daily lives. His plan is simple and makes complete sense as we are faced with daily ...

Texas Braggin' Rights: Winning Recipes of the Best Texas Cook-Offs1 review
Barry Shlachter
Great Texas Line, 1998
Excellent chow from Texas
Forget what you think about Texas cooking. This book delivers recipes of juried recipes that swept top honors at the Texas State Fair and numerous cook-offs around the state, and it shows. The chocolate turtle cookies [State Fair Blue Ribbon] alone are worth the cover price.

Mrs. Seely's cook book: A manual of French and American cookery with chapters on domestic servants, their ...1 review
Lida Seely
Grosset & Dunlap, 1908
window to the past (a spotless one!)
This book was written in 1904 and reprinted in 1984. It has chapters on the duties of specific staff (butler, housekeeper, chamber maid, footman, etc) and instructions to employers on how to treat their servents and what is fair pay. Incredible to think that the majority of wealthy and middle class AMERICANS (as well as the lower class and working class) lived this way until the stock crash in ...

Let's Cook It Right1 review
Adelle Davis
Unwin Health, 1979
How to eat right all the time
Davis manages to transform a recipe book into a fascinating look into the biochemistry of food. Her books are the only comprehensive description I've ever found of practical nutrition, and this one is no exception. The technical information is made accessible and interesting, even for the general reader. The recipes are detailed, easy to use and often delicious when prepared to her instructions. ...

Going South: Jewish Women in the Civil Rights Movement1 review
Debra Schultz, Blanche Wiesen Cook
NYU Press, 2002
Exciting addition to civil rights scholarship
In a movement that unfortunately has been defined in the public perception by one charismatic black leader, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the commitment and plain hard work performed by women, black and white, has long been overlooked. Schultz's fine book adds a new chapter to the emerging fuller story of this freedom movement. Her skillful weaving of personal stories with the larger social ...

Cook Right 4 Your Type: The Practical Kitchen Companion to Eat Right 4 Your Type 49 reviews
Peter J. D'Adamo, Catherine Whitney
Berkley Trade, 2000
Cooking for your Blood Type
Originally, my chiropractor turned me on to this way of eating. I read all the reference materials and thought I would give it a try, but it didn't work for my lifestyle. Although I do not plan to continue this program, the cookbook had wonderful recipes in it that were easily created using things in my pantry and refrigerator, as well as ingredients found at Wal-Mart and our local health food ...

This is an essential book - don't let the unknown author and the low price fool you. This book is the only book I've found to have the proper marinades. That is a good part of the battle of Chinese cooking. The book also contains the correct cutting instructions. If you are just starting out, or an advanced Chinese cook, you need this book on your shelf. The recipes are reliable and consistent. ...

Freedom and responsibility in the American way of life: Five lectures delivered on the William W. Cook ...1 review
Carl Lotus Becker
A.A. Knopf, 1946
Freedom and Responsibility
Becker's message is one that should be headed today. Our present society, based on the love of government programs and depending on them, is the subtle threat to our freedom. Becker clearly shows why we need to cast off the comfortable chains of Washington D.C. and go back to doing for ourselves.

The Alejandra Variations2 reviews
Paul Cook
E-Rights/E-Reads, 2000
A Neglected Masterpiece
Paul Cook's mission seems to be to fool the reader. Just when you think you know what's going on, he pulls a switcheroo. Along the way he cajoles the reader with a fluid writing style and interesting visions of the future. I liked the Clantrams the best. I could have seen more of them. But, really, at heart, this book is a love story and, in the end, it works. More people should read Cook's ...

Pluto Press, 2004
It's refreshing to hear an unbiased voice
This book tells an important an often-overlooked story about some of the forgotten victims of the Arab-Israeli conflict. It takes courage to tell the story of the young victims, the Palestinian children detained by the Israeli government. In what other "civilized" society would such human rights violations be tolerated? The book is well written and balanced in its approach to the problem, and ...

Joseph Banks
MacMillan, 1896
Be forewarned
This is an excellent facsimile edition of the original publishing in the 19th century. Be forewarned, though, that the publishers have made an error (which may exiat in the original edition from which this facsimile is taken, I don't know). Page 372 of this edition is numbered in sequence, but is a repeat of an earlier page. Thus, when you are reading of Sir Joseph's adventures in Batavia in ...

Be Right: How to Be Right With God, Yourself, and Others, Romans (Be; Nt Commentary)3 reviews
Warren W. Wiersbe
David C. Cook, 2008
A study of the book of Romans
This book starts in chapter 1 going over man's condition, how that man has gotten away from God, and needs to come back to Him. Chapter 1 also tells how depraved man is and has a need for the Savior. Chapter 2 continues in the same vain as Chapter 1. Chapter 3, 4, 5, show man is a sinner, there are none that seek after God, but God seeks them. Chapter 5 mentions that Adam fell in the ...
