Carlos and the Cornfield / Carlos y la milpa de maiz2 reviews
Jan Romero Stevens
Luna Rising, 1999
Fun
We speak Spanish and want our children to learn, so we purchased this book. The story is fun and the pictures are nice. We read it to them in Spanish, and they read it in English, as it has both languages. Our hopes are that when they become familiar with the story, they will read it in Spanish too!

The photo illustration, Bert Stern (Masters of contemporary photography)2 reviews
Jim Cornfield
T. Y. Crowell, 1974
Like a "Master's Class" in Commercial Photography
This book is part of a series, "Masters of Contemporary Photography," which was an outstanding effort to highlight the work of individual photographers, providing lots of behind the scenes information on the technique and process behind the images. I own the Bert Stern volume, which I purchase sometime in the 1970s. Not having read it in years, I recently returned to it and found it absolutely ...

Brer Rabbit, Uncle Remus and the `Cornfield Journalist: The Tale of Joel Chandler Harris5 reviews
Walter M. Brasch
Carolina Academic Press, 1999
THE SOUTHERN TRUTH AS TOLD BY A YANKEE
Being a true southerner I seriously questioned the ability of a "Yankee" to write a quality and unbiased biography of someone that the south considers "one of our own". I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised to find a tremendous amount of information which proved to be both interesting and intruiging. Most importantly, I learned something. Dr. Brasch did an incredible amount of research ...

The Magic Cornfield1 review
Nancy Willard
Harcourt, 1997
creative and beautiful
As with all of Nancy Willard's books, The Magic Cornfield is practically perfect in every way. The unusual adventures of Tottem Perhaps are chronicled with interesting and funny photograph collages. I highly recommend this book as a teaching tool - for geography, art, or creative writing, paired with the Griffin and Sabine trilogy.

Born in the Illinois Cornfields1 review
Alvin Decker
Tales Inc, 2000
Amazing!! A Blast from the Past!!
Born in the Illinois Cornfields is a wonderful non-fiction book about a young boy growing up during the depression on an Illinois farm. The author paints vivid pictures in your head of what it was like to use an outhouse, milk the cows and work the cornfields with "real horse power." The book is a delight to read for it recalls the youthful energy that we can all remember. I laughed out ...

Ruth Lyons Brookshire is a rough-edged and absolutely fabulous oracle of the Midwest.

The Making of a Believer: From the Rice Paddies of Viet Nam to the Cornfields of Iowa18 reviews
Thoi Nguyen
PublishAmerica, 2005
The Making Of A Believer
I have recommended this book to all my friends. It is a great read. The author keeps you engaged at all times giving you a very insightful look at the Vietnam War. As an American who has often woundered about how I should view the War, it was very helpful. He also shows how his new Christian faith was directly involved in his escape to the Iowa cornfields.
Very inspirational.

"The modest single-family house is the glory of the suburban tradition."

Andres Duany is harshly critical of conventional suburban planning, "The classic suburb is less a community than an agglomeration of houses, shops, and offices connected ...

Guatemala: Blood In The Cornfields 7 reviews
Bonnie A. Dilger
PublishAmerica, 2005
Death Squads and an American
In trying to make sense of conflicting historical perspectives, nothing beats a personal, first hand account of events. Ms Dilger's memoir is both a riveting, white knuckle telling of the violence in Guatemala,and America's complicity in the genocide,and equal part funny, warm, love story and gentle clash of cultures. As the author gets her bearings in Guatemala and learns to live in harmony with ...

Quintessence3 reviews
Betty Cornfield, Owen Edwards
Three Rivers Press, 1983
The writing in Quintessence is quintessential.
Buy this book if only for the opening essay, 'Sense and Quintessence', which has to be the most erudite, insightful, historical, philosophical, piece written on the subject. It is, in fact, quintessential.
All my life I have recognized 'the thing in and of itself'...the genuine article...the real McCoy...the person or object with real soul. Cornfeld and Owens have given me the words - ...

Worlds of Work: Building an International Sociology of Work (Springer Studies in Work and Industry)1 review
Springer, 2001
Excerpt of review from Book Reviews
"....Cornfield and Hodson have managed to assemble a varied and interesting collection of national accounts that prove fascinating in their own right. However, the editors add value by heroically drawing out some of the similarities and differences in institutional contexts and in research themes and approaches, and the extent to which globalizatin is changing work organization...."

Lundy's: Reminiscences and Recipes from Brooklyn's Legendary Restaurant7 reviews
Robert Cornfield

GREAT FIND
As the great-granddaughter of a Sheepshead Bay restauranteur, this book was a great family find. I am ordering more to send to others in the family. My mother remembers all of the terrific dishes that are in the book, especially the "shore dinner." However, I am told the the reference to Billy Shierr"s restaurant is incorrect. My great-grandfather's was named Eddie Sheirr, and that was also ...

Sticky Rock Cafe1 review
Susie Cornfield
Garret Books Ltd, 2006
Fast-paced and Significant
A great read for readers of every age, The Sticky
Rock Cafe is a rip-roaring late teen adventure set in
the future about an ecological nightmare that may not
be so futuristic
Ms. Cornfield clearly understands how leaders can be
misled and how insensitive some governments can be,
another lesson that has implications for the here and
now.
You can choose to read it now in all its wonder ...

Joseph Trombello

Engaging experience.
I couldn't put it down. It is great. Joe has a gift for writing. He is able to deliver a very rich, complete story in a way that causes the reader to identify with all the people involved. I was moved to emotionally attach to the survivors, the victims, the families and friends who lost someone they loved and the rescue teams. The book goes beyond telling a story. This book becomes a ...
