Energy Keepers Energy Killers: The New Civil Rights Battle 1 review
Roy Innis
Merril Press, 2008
A Great Overview
The book Energy Keepers, Energy Killers is an excellent overview of both the science and politics of global warming and the energy problem. This book is a concise, well written, and succinct account of the issues involved in energy production. The book does not accept the media bias but courageously takes on the elitist conventional wisdom. In particular Mr. Innis demonstrates that renewables ...

An Historical Fiction Treasure!
I found this historical fiction text to be absolutely enthralling! It has not only provided me with hours of enjoyable, page-turning reading, but has also given me great insight into my Polish ancestry and heritage. The strength, spirit, and heart of the Polish people--MY people--is wonderfully portrayed within the pages of this book. I'm so looking forward to receiving Mr. Martin's sequel, ...

The Orchard Keeper 13 reviews
Cormac McCarthy
Vintage, 1993
Early McCarthy
I am informally studying Cormac having read his last works first, namely "No Place for Old Men", preceeded by the "Trilogy" and "Blood Meridian". His precise knowledge about the area and customs of his story and the minimilist language which he develops in the later novels is interesting to watch grow.

Ridley Pearson, 2005
Best Book I Have Ever Read!
This book is amazing! I love Disneyland and this book made me feel like I was actually there! The story is about Finn, a 13 year old boy who becomes a DHI (Disney Host Interactive) which is a tour guide who appears as a human, but is actually a hologram. The process of the scanning makes him and 4 others cross over to Disney World at night. They have to figure out what the Stonecutter's Quill is ...

Beautiful Book and Beautiful Story
The story itself is amazing but the way it was written is so exceptional. You can see, you can feel, you can smell when you read descriptions of even the simplest things. The author did lots of research before writing this book and therefore you can learn lot's of interesting facts and details.

Secret Keeper 2005: The Delicate Power of Modesty21 reviews
Dannah Gresh
Moody Publishers, 2005
Great food for talk
When I received a review copy of this from the publisher, I showed it to my wife and said, "Look at this--it's a book about modesty". Our daughter, then just 14 years old, grabbed it out of my hand, said "I want to read it", sat down on the floor of our kitchen, read it straight through, emailed two or three of her best friends, and let each of them read it. This sparked a year-long on-and-off ...

What would you do if you could control the laws of Physics?
Simon Bloom is an average eleven-year-old boy that dreams of being able to fly and instantaneously travel to the moon. But as a 6th-grader, he doesn't know anything about the laws of Physics.

Suzanne Schlosberg
Da Capo Press, 2007
Must have when trying to get pregnant!
This book is one of the few sources out there that has valuable fertility information & alternatives, plus a VERY useful monthly log. The log was key in helping me chart my cycle and plan accordingly. Plus, Schlosberg adds a perfect amount of humor to give us all a bit of comic relief during the process!!

This is a response to Tamara Lakeman's review:
It's a shame that there are people who feel that it is necessary to censor literature which brings awareness to all aspects of war, including death, compassion, and despair. Yes the elephants died as a result of being starved to death. However, the trainers were put in a position of having to carry out an order that forever scared them thus ...
