On Golden Pond... Or Up the Creek?: Making the Right Choices for Your Retirement Security29 reviews
F. Bill Billimoria

Synergy Books, 2007

Time to Start Paddling!
I do not often read books on financial planning, and this one quickly persuaded me of my folly. The witty title tells you that this is not going to be a standard account of where and when to park your money and other assets. This book is clearly the work of a master of the art and science of sound investing. He begins with the "Eight Great Barriers" that will prevent you from reaching a ...

Rain on A Tin Roof33 reviews
Gabriel J Christian

Pond Casse Press, 1999

Let's Take a Trip Back Home
Rain on a Tin Roof (RAIN) is riveting. For those of us who are from the Caribbean, it appears that Gabriel Christian, by the attention given to every descriptive word, every detail, attempts to make those of us who are away from home, wallow in nostalgia. RAIN gives the impression of having never left the Caribbean. My personal favorite, and the narrative by which this book gets its title, ...
  
  











  



  
Reflections in the Mill Pond13 reviews
Larry Wood

BookSurge Publishing, 2007

A Truly Great Read!!
Larry Wood's book, REFLECTIONS IN THE MILL POND, is one of those books you don't want to put down, once you begin. It's a terrific story of an unusual childhood, a troubled adolescence, and adulthood with highs and lows abounding. At times funny, and at times very moving, the author brings us along his journey, and it seems that the reader is actually there, in the events, as they happened. ...

Trials: the risk/benefit ratio14 reviews
M. E. Smith

Beaver's Pond Press, 2007

Impressive debut - edge of your seat read!
This novel kept my attention from page one through the end. It's obvious M.E. Smith has a strong depth of knowledge of the pharma industry so as to leave the reader intrigued as well as educated as to what goes on behind the scenes. This is combined with strong love and compassion for family which the reader can relate to. Couldn't put it down!
  
  











  



  
A Guide to Common Freshwater Invertebrates of North America14 reviews
J. Reese Voshell

McDonald and Woodward Publishing Company, 2002

Excellent Guide
As others have already reviewed, I am a fly fisherman who purchased this book to get a better understanding of freshwater invertebrates other than mayfly and caddis species. (For a highly detailed description of mayflies and caddis for the fly-fisherman, I would recommend the titles "Nymphs, volumes I and II".) This guide is well-written and not too difficult to follow, even for the ...

Jacques Yves Cousteau

N. Lyons Books, 1987

How a showman/researcher/storyteller/philosopher defined modern diving
What can be said about Jacques Cousteau and his groundbreaking book that hasn't been said a thousand times? He is undoubtedly the defining figure of modern scuba diving, his books, films, and documentaries known to millions or billions. Even the name of his ship, the Calypso, is known the world over. It's a small volume, this book, just 160 pages, yet it's absolutely mandatory reading for anyone ...

"A wake-up call"
As a son, a parent and a grandparent, this book brings home the importance of making memories with those you love.

Amy Blackmarr

Willacoochee Publishing, 2007

Nice place to sit back and relax
Young South Georgia woman gets off the fast train, returns to family's shack by the pond, then delivers us a way to enjoy her experiences and reflections.

Prairie Perpendicular11 reviews
Marston Moore

Beaver's Pond Press, 2006

Prairie Perpendicular
PRAIRIE PERPENDICULAR by Marston Moore is a superb read! I began reading the tale sometime during the immense heat of July's summer. The opening pages immediately cooled me off, literally, with a description of a Dakota blizzard. The author has his way of consistently putting you "in the story" and into the minds and hearts of its characters. I grew up in similar circumstances - the Minnesota ...
  
  











  



  
Have You Seen My Duckling?11 reviews
Nancy Tafuri

Topeka Bindery, 2001

Absolutely Enchanting. Deserves it's award
This book is filled with lovely pictures of a mother duck as she searches for her baby who wandered off. The pictures are wonderful. The few repetitive words there are encourage my child to 'read' the book. He also loves finding the duck on every page. I wish I could find more books like this one- simple, gorgeous pictures, a nice story with a happy ending, a lot of opportunity for other ...
  
  











  



  
Pond Scum12 reviews
Alan Silberberg

Hyperion, 2005

FANASTIC CHILDREN'S BOOK! AUTHOR HAS A "WAY WITH WORMS."
I bought this book for my 9 year old son. It is very difficult finding books that engage him. He'd rather be playing baseball or tennis. But from the moment we started reading "POND SCUM" and meeting all the buggy characters like Mooch and Willy, he was totally into it. In fact, he loves reading it out loud, because he wants to share with us all the funny things that happen. The author ...
