After the Earthquake: Poems 1996-20064 reviews
Martina Newberry
Xlibris Corporation, 2007
Words that cut and kiss; phrases that hiss their pain and tear apathy asunder.
I seldom read every poem all the way through in a book of poems. Even though I love good poetry and even if I happen to admire the work of the poet I am reading. Unless the first line or two grabs me, I'll flip through the pages until something hits me in the heart or gut. Martina Newberry's "After the Earthquake" slammed me blow by blow through every page, start to finish. I had to read every ...

Tyndale House Publishers, 2007
This is the only toolbox you will ever need.
I was diagnosed with Manic depression/bipolar disorder about 5 years ago. Prior to that it was severe Postpartum depression. I have been on and off medication for 9 years after the death of my mom. Through much prayer and seeking God I was healed of my depression and given joy abundantly, and do not take any medication whatsoever.

The Good Master23 reviews
Kate Seredy
Scholastic Trade, 1991
A timeless classic
My sixth grade teacher read it to me in 1961. I became a teacher and have read it to hundreds of students as well as my own two children. It should be on a required reading list. It is a simple but delightful tale that centers on family, love and hard work.

Babette and my Granddad--a true tale
Due to having a "one cat" apartment, after BABETTE had been completed, my mother took Babette to live with her own parents in Flint, MI. As Clare told the story, "At first, my rather taciturn father regarded Babette with skepticism and said','She looks like a weasel! Of course, my mother loved Babette. However, Babette had made up her mind to win Dad and followed him around,looking up at him ...

Sweet children's book
I love this book! Children are captivated by the simple familiar characters so clearly described. The story line is sweet and well written, NOT "dumbed down". There are lots of words on most pages and it takes more than a minute to read which is so helpful in developing attention span. My three year old was taken in completely! ( Not to mention my seven year old!)

Daughter of the Mountains (Newbery Library, Puffin)6 reviews
Louise S. Rankin
Puffin, 1993
So glad it's still in print!
I read this book voraciously from start to finish when I was in 7th grade and have never forgotten it. It illustrates how important it is to have faith in a dream and to go after what you want even when everyone tells you it's impossible. And if you've ever dearly loved a pet, this is the story for you. Momo, a young Tibetian girl, yearns to own a Lhasa Apso, but an expensive pedigree dog like ...

Hunger by Martina Newberry
In her latest book, "Hunger" Martina Newberry runs the gamut of emotions from anger, frustration, sadness and I'm sure many more that elude me at the moment.
It is wonderful to read the works of someone who is so passionate about life and is able to convey it in on paper.
Ms. Newberry's writings are piercing and honest and we are taken along on an emotional ride - and what an exciting ride ...

MARTINA NEWBERRY

"Running Like A WomanWith Her Hair on Fire."
If you're looking for a book of poetry,where the author strokes the canvas with beautiful colors and happy endings; this book is not for you.
If however, you want life as it is:sometimes beautiful, sometimes ugly but always honest,then this is a must read book!
Ms Newberry manages to dig down deep into the belly of the person or situtation and explores the human spirit with such candor that it ...

Herbert the Lion2 reviews
Clare Turlay Newberry
Smithmark Publishers, 1998
Great read aloud!
I recently discovered the author Clare Turlay Newberry and am thrilled and excited about her work. Herbert the Lion is a delightful story about a little girl and her lion and all of the obstacles that they go through. At first I was worried that the illustrations would not grasp my kindergarten students' attention because of it's lightness. Was I WRONG! They absolutely loved the ...

The poems cover a wide variety of topics and will delight the reader again and again.
It would be unfair of me to say that I have a favorite poem as there are too many that I enjoyed. However, being that I am extremly ...

Aztec: A guide for teachers / Lawana Trout2 reviews
Lawana Trout
Newberry Library, D'Arcy McNickle Center for the History of the American Indian, 1992
Eye Opening
This book illustrates that psychological understanding in the West (especially the US) gleaned from studies of Western subjects (usually college students) is NOT especially generalizable to other cultures.
Instead, while a few simple universals do appear to exist, the main finding is that culture has a major influence on how people think, feel, and behave, so a true study of human psychology ...

Excellent Overview Of Groundbreaking Technology
I just moved into the IPTV Product Management group at a major telecom carrier, and I needed just what this book offers: a crash course in IPTV. What the technology is about; how it will change the TV concept as we know it; how it will change advertising paradigms; which operators are doing what; basic network architecture; digital rights management (i.e. copyright securitiy). This book HAD ...

Precalculus Enhanced With Graphing Utilities (3rd Edition)3 reviews
Michael Sullivan
Prentice Hall, 2002
Best math textbook I ever used!
After going back into this book more and more I can only revise my opinion upward. Sullivan covers almost every topic before calculus and does it in a very straightforward manner. The text has rigor proving many important statements but this is never used in sacrifice of understanding. The student solution manual is also great and highly recomended. A great text and reference book.

Martina Newberry
Arabesques Press/LuLu Distributors, 2006
A Review of "Not Untrue & not Unkind
In her book "Not Untrue & not Unkind", Martina Newberry takes you gently by the hand, and shows you a life. It's a life filled with all the joy and anguish of a young girl growing.
Many readers will see there own experience through the author's eyes. I started it, and couldn't put it down. The book takes poetry's ability to say so much in just a few words, and puts it to work.
