The Mysterious Press, 2004

An Indispensable Collection for Westlake and Dortmunder Fans
April 2004 was apparently designated, by those who do the designating of such things, as John Dortmunder Month. The reason for this surmise on my part is the publication of not only a wonderful new Dortmunder tale, THE ROAD TO RUIN, but also a collection of short Dortmunder stories titled THIEVES' DOZEN. We are, accordingly, doubly blessed. Dortmunder, who is incredibly smart and proportionately ...

The book starts out with a brief description of some of the threats you might face, and then goes into a chapter on ...

Robert A. Levy, William Mellor

A superb exposition of how the defenders of the Constitution have eroded our freedom

The Baker's Dozen

William Morrow Cookbooks, 2001

An Excellent Invitation to Baking. Buy It!
`The Baker's Dozen Cookbook' lists at least 14 authors on the cover, the proverbial baker's dozen of 13 plus editor, Rick Rodgers, a very notable cookbook author in his own right (see, especially, his `Kaffeehaus' on Austrian coffee and pastry shops). On the surface, this looks like just another collection of recipes by famous bakers. Three years ago, before I started reviewing cookbooks, I ...

Charming story - great research
This charming story is great research for anyone directing the play "Cheaper By the Dozen" or anyone interested in social climate of a large family in the era before television, DVD's and ipods. Well written, an easy read.

Dr. Seuss

Random House Books for Young Readers, 2004

Great Seuss collection
This is my 3 y.o.'s favorite book, he calls it "the big book" and almost every night he asks for it when it's time for story-telling, even though he has a big collection of books which he loves, including many Seuss books, none can top this one. This is a great book, it allows you to have lots of Seuss stories all gathered up even if you don't have a lot of space in your house, and it's great ...

William Varner

Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry, Inc., 1987

Excellent Analysis By Dr. Varner
Dr. Varner does an excellent job of outlining each tribes significance, which can be often overlooked. He skillfully and authoritatively ties each tribe in with events in the Bible and shows how the prophesies of God have been fulfilled. I have the special honor of having been a pupil under Dr. Varner for two semesters at The Master's College and can personally attest to his extensive knowledge ...

Tor Books, 1999

Highly Entertaining, Highly Intelligent Writing
You don't have to be a science-fiction fan to enjoy the stories of Nancy Kress. In fact, you don't even have to know anything about science-fiction. If you enjoy well written, intelligent writing with remarkably believable characters, Kress is for you. This collection starts off with a bang. "Beggars in Spain," the Hugo and Nebula winning story deals seriously with genetic engineering and ...

Bonnie Baker

Newnes, 2005

Excellent intro to analog/digital co-design
Anyone who works in electronics outside of the RF field knows that analog circuitry is being eclipsed by digital. However, analog is not truly dead, and will never be. Baker shows that many digital systems can benefit from judiciously-applied analog circuitry. New engineers would also benefit from the many case studies that the author discusses, such as the tradeoffs associated with using a ...

Xrx Books, 2005

excellent hat book...not many "too goofy to wear" styles!
I really like this book in content and presentation. Clear pictures! Best of all...stupid looking, court jester hats are kept to a minimum. Most of the patterns that are listed for children have adult instructions which I always value. I hate it when a lovely hat only has instructions for an 18 inch head. The patterns cover a variety of yarn weights and techniques. Plenty of lovely ...

The best things about the book are that there are a wide variety of recipes and that all of them are fabulous. Her chocolate chip ...
