An Excellent Read
Strongly recommended for experts or enthusiasts on the subject. An in-depth approach to some of the most important figures in early American history. Found the first volume more useful than the second only because information on people in the first volume is more rare. The passage on Tecumseh was a treat for the history buff and the passage on Lee provided a new insight on his personal ...

Another forgotten genius of early scifi
There are several absolutely wonderful writers of classic SF that are nearly forgotten today. Unfortunately, Fredric Brown is one of them. Whether it's his short fiction, as in this book, or his wonderful novels, including "What Mad Universe", all of his stuff is wonderful and well worth reading. Brown, Henry Kuttner, CM Cornbluth, Richard Matheson, so many others. All of them created the SF ...

traditional approach
The idea implemented here is an old one. Dating back centuries. Where earlier books might have been biographies of famous people. To inspire youngsters to such heights. In reflection of our more enlightened times, the authors give biographies of a diverse set of Americans. The traditional ones are here. Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson. But so too are Frederick Douglass and Christopher ...
Writing from These Roots: The Historical Development of Literacy in a Hmong American Community
John M. Duffy

Writing from These Roots documents the historical development of literacy in a Midwestern American community of Laotian Hmong, a people who came to the United States as refugees from the Vietnam War and whose language had no widely accepted written form until one created by missionary-linguists was adopted in the late twentieth century by Hmong in Laos and, later, the U.S. and other Western nations. As such, the Hmong have often ...

Enjoyed The Queen of Soul's From These Roots
I'm surprised at all of the negative reviews of From These Roots. I checked this book out from the library twice and read it through both times. While reading it I felt as if I were sitting having a cup of coffee or tea with a good friend. I don't need to know the names of Aretha's babies' daddies, and I'm not gonna judge her for being a young unwed teenager. Her having babies as a teenager is ...
