Preparing My Heart for Advent: A Spiritual Pilgrimage for the Christmas Season9 reviews
Ann Marie Stewart

AMG Publishers, 2008

What is the meaning Christmas?
Sometimes in all of our good intentions, we get wrapped up in the preparations: baking goodies, meals, traditions, gifts and commercialism that has become part of the holiday. We forget to prepare our HEARTS as well. How ideal for Ann to delight us with the Word every day of November, when the stress and the chaos is beginning to close in on us. This study is a wonderful journey back in time. ... 		  
  







  
  
Moominvalley in November14 reviews
Tove Jansson, 2008

Haunting, compassionate insight into inner landscapes
"November" is both intensely passionate and cold: it focuses on the empty spaces of the Moominfamily, and those who wanted the Moomins to fill the emptiness of their own souls. The Moominfamily represents happiness, everything that is good about childhood, summers, or functional families: generous, nonjudgmental, forgiving, carefree. Their absence inspires horrific nostalgia (especially if you ...

First Team And the Guadalcanal Campaign: Naval Fighter Combat from August to November 19429 reviews
John B. Lundstrom

US Naval Institute Press, 2005

WWII Aviation Wonks - Lundstrom is your man
If you are a casual reader of World War II books, this is NOT the book for you, but if you are a wonk, then you'll love this book and John Lundstrom's companion book which covers the time period of Pearl Harbor to Midway. What sets Lundstrom apart is that he has taken the time to get to know virtually all of the pilots (on both sides) who fought in the Pacific battles in 1942. A theme that runs ... 		  
  







  
  
Brazen Chariots: An Account of Tank Warfare in the Western Desert, November-December 194110 reviews
Robert Crisp

W. W. Norton & Company, 2005

The Classic First Person Account of Tank Warfare in North Africa
Going over my list Introduction to Tank Warfare list, I'm surprised I left this one off. This is one of the books I read as a kid that is partially responsible for me becoming a tanker myself. Crisp gives a great first person account of being a tank commander during Operation Crusader in 1941. This book is great for the vivid descriptions of battles where he survived, though under-gunned ... 		  
  







  
  
November of the Heart31 reviews
LaVyrle Spencer

Smithmark Publishers

A Tender and Sweet romance! One of the best i have ever read!
Levyrle Spencer can just make you feel what her characters are feeling so effortlessly that you laugh and cry with them and almost forget that they are not real. Lorna and Jens are one of her most real characters and their situation is also so real. The way they are helpless against their attraction to each other even after knowing it would be disastrous was so beautifully written that you could ... 		  
  







  
  
Four Days in November: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy8 reviews
Vincent Bugliosi

W. W. Norton, 2008

"Some day you'll hang your heads in shame...My son [may be] the unsung hero of this episode."--Marguerite, Oswald's mother
When Vincent Bugliosi wrote Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy, published in May, 2007, the predecessor of the book being reviewed here, it was widely regarded as his magnum opus, a towering masterpiece which took twenty years and 1648 pages to write. In this new edition about the assassination, drawn from Reclaiming History, Bugliosi has now winnowed the original ... 		  
  







  
  
Leaving November (Clayburn Novels Series #2)17 reviews
Deborah Raney

Howard Books, 2008

Delightful Surprise
As a child of an alcoholic, I can relate to Vienne Kenney. She does not really want to return to painful memories of Clayburn, KS after her mother's stroke, but she must. The business, a cafe, needs attention. Vienne turns the lunchroom into an upscale coffee shop and names it Latte-dah and meets a bit of opposition from some in the small town. Romantic tension is provided by Jackson Linder, ... 		  
  







  
  
The Death of a President: November 20-November 2516 reviews
William Raymond Manchester

BBS Publishing Corporation, 1996

THE FIRST AND THE LAST WORD
On my seventh birthday, November 22, 1963, I returned home from school and was told that President John F. Kennedy had been assassinated earlier in the day in Dallas, Texas. Even for a seven-year-old schoolboy the gravity of event was striking. For the next forty years, because of my own curiosity and because the event was continually thrust upon me by the media, I studied the sad event from ... 		  
  







  
  
The Last Grand Duchess: Her Imperial Highness Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna, 1 June 1882-24 November 196010 reviews
Ian Vorres

Key Porter Books, 2001

A book to be savored
I normally race through books like a speed demon, but this was so enjoyable I read it s-l-o-w-l-y - and several times. Olga was a woman raised in the lap of luxury in the Russian court but was able and willing to work at hard physical labor on farms in Denmark and Canada for decades without apparent bitterness at what many might consider her "fall" from high status. At the very end of her life ... 		  
  







  
  
November of the Soul6 reviews

Scribner, 2006

Not for voyeours or those with casual interrest!
A must read for those with a serious interest in the study of suicide. I found this book six years ago after the suicide death of my friend's only child, a beautiful and talented 18 year old. Of the books I've read on suicide this has been the most thorough at exploring the various schools of thought regarding the subject. George Howe Colt looks at suicide historically, culturally, ... 		  
  







  
  
Resurrection, A War Journey: A Chronicle of Events During and Following the Attack on Fort Jeanne d'Arc at ...4 reviews
Robert E. Gajdusek

University of Notre Dame Press, 1997

A must read for all soldiers
This book is the literary equivalent of Spielberg's cinemagraphic "Saving Private Ryan". Mr. Gajdusek takes you with him on the battlefield with a realism that is frighteningly palpable, yet simply and honestly described. It is a compelling story of the extraordinary mental and physical hardships of the footsoldier in combat. Most valuable, perhaps, is Mr. Gajdusek's treatment of the ...

Robyn Busfield

Buzzworld Publishing, 2006

Compelling Reading
This is a sensibly written, compelling, persuasive work on the necessity of self-love and self-care as the wellspring for a fulfilling life. Ms. Busfield shows the reader a way to achieve this possibility with her pleasant, readable style. Be kind to yourself and spend time with this thoughtful, insightful book. Larry Etue, MSW, LCSW California 		  
  







  
  
My health is better in November;: Thirty-five stories of hunting and fishing in the South (A Gun room library ...4 reviews
Havilah Babcock

Greenberg, 1952

A Delightful, Entertaining Classic
Good friends gave me this book when I graduated high school more years ago than I like to realize. I have read, re-read, and re-re-read it, and given a copy to my grandson in hopes of instilling in him some of my love of the outdoors. The first time I read this book, and most of the subsequent times as well, I laughed until tears rolled down my face. Babcock eloquently paints word pictures ... 		  
  







  
  
Bloody Tarawa: The 2d Marine Division, November 20-23, 19434 reviews
Eric Hammel

Zenith Press, 2006

Only a full-feature film can top this
After reading John Wukovits' One Square Mile of Hell I just had to find another book about Tarawa, and was fortunate to come across Bloody Tarawa. While I have not read the earlier edition of this book, I can only believe that the addition of the photos and maps just increase the realism in its portrayal of the battle. I found myself constantly flipping back to the maps and to the photos while ... 		  
  







  
  
The Quest for Longitude: The Proceedings of the Longitude Symposium Harvard University, Cambridge, ...4 reviews
Longitude Symposium (1993 Harvard University)

Collection of Historical Scientific Instrumen, 1996

Previous reviewers say "lavish"; I say gorgeous.
This book considers the problem of longitude from a number of viewpoints. While Dava Sobel's book concentrated on the Harrison/Maskelyne controversy, this volume uses historical, mathematical and geographic viewpoints. What is impressive is the genius, dedication and tenacity of the Renaissance scientists. They may not have had GPS but they knew what they were doing. 		  
  







  
  
William Lamb Picknell, 1853-1897: [exhibition] November 7 through December 7, 19918 reviews
William Lamb Picknell

Taggart & Jorgensen Gallery, 1991

Back and Improved...At Last!
The year before George W. Bush took office as president I attended a professional conference where a graduate student offered a paper that posed the question whether Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.'s "Imperial Presidency" was still valid. Quite a debate ensued. Today, in the wake of the Bush Doctrine of preemptive war, and its application in Iraq, I am compelled to offer that this revised volume, ... 		  
  







  
  
Forgotten Voices of the Great War: The Struggle to Victory: August 1917 - November 1918 (Forgotten Voices)4 reviews
Max Arthur

Random House Audiobooks, 2003

A Great Read & Excellent History
Max Arthur's new book covering the Great War is quite unique in that its content is nearly all first-hand accounts from people who experienced the horror of the Great War. The author has utilized a number of tape recorded interviews conducted by the Imperial War Museum in 1972. Many of the tapes from the Imperial War Museum Sound Archive had been forgotten and left unheard for years. Now Max ... 		  
  







  
  
In November7 reviews
Cynthia Rylant

Harcourt Children's Books, 2000

In November
Cynthia Ryland does it again! A wonderful book for use with teaching metaphors. Her descriptive words gives visual meaning to each sentence. A wonderful book to use with six traits writing "Voice" and teaching inference to young children. Each page is filled with words to ponder, reflect, relate and to write about. Although there is no reference to Thanksgiving, many children relate to the ...

Roy E. Appleman

Dept. of the Army, 1998

a great book on a great happening in military history
This is a great book, hard to put down once you start to read it, the maps of battle scenes are outstanding. As a trustee of the Korean Veterans Nat'l Museum and Library to be built in Tuscola, Illinois I am sorry to here it is out of print because I know a lot of the books could be sold if available. Get it at your lirary and read it, you will not be disappointed.
