Louise (Dickinson) Rich

Life in the Maine woods - a classic
This book is a great read for anyone who's ever had the desire to just chuck it all and head for the woods (a desire that seems to wax and wane like the tides, popular one decade [1970s, for example], totally passe the next). Today taking to the woods for many means building a $500,000 "rustic retreat" with pool, hot tub, and wine cellar included. For Louise Rich, back in the 1930s (the book was ...

Hurston's Mules and Men
I read Zora Neale Hurston's novel "Their Eyes are Watching God" and wanted to read more. Hurston (1891 -- 1960) had studied anthropology at Barnard with one of the founders of modern anthropology, Franz Boas. With Boas' encouragement and funding from a private source, Hurston travelled South to collect African-American folklore. Her first stop was Eatonville, Florida, an all-black community ...

Don't want to eat, bathe, go to bed or comb your hair?
For every problem every parent and child has faced over the years, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle has a magnificent solution that will surpass the iterventions of Dr. Spock, Supernanny, or even Dr. Phil! The characters are so wonderful and the stories so creatively written that children will be spellbound by these books. Even non-readers will be captivated. Wonderful reading!

neurology illustrated
This is without doubt one of the best illustrated and presented publications I have ever read. Presenting a complicated subject in such a marvellously illustrated fashion which is so brilliantly thought of makes me congratulate the author on his superb teaching technique. It really is a masterpiece of presentation and should be read by all clinicians dealing with its topics.

Lab manual
This manual was in excellent condition when I received it. I was impressed with the quick turnaround time, right on time for me to have it for class the next day. It is very useful for health assessments and one cannot adequately complete an assessment without utilizing the checkoff sheets.

To Kill a Mockingbird

Harper Lee

J. B. Lippincott Company, 1960

Tightly written with a message for everyone
Harper Lee was encouraged to write some of her childhood memories. What in the beginning seems like the story of three childhood friends in depression era Macomb, Alabama, turns out to be packed with insights to the makeup of human kind. This story is intriguing on many levels from the history of the area to the stereotyping of people. Most of all every turn was a surprise as told in the first ...

Read it three times
I've read The Egg and I at least three times. The first time I was about twelve, the second, maybe twenty-one and the last time in the virtual dotage of sixty-two. My ten year old self took this as a fabulous adventure story and I wanted nothing more than to meet Gams and the hyperactive grandma and eat a geoduck clam with the MacDonalds. At twenty-one, I laughed my head off. Being ...

Never surpassed.
I first chanced upon this book as a seven year old. I had read many books before but this one truly opened my mind to the wondrous joy of reading. Nearly thirty years later I have not yet found a book to surpass it. Re-reading as an adult I still see why its multi-layered, perfectly self-consistent meanings entranced me. The apparent wish-fulfilment of the story is really only the surface. ...

That was in the days when you had to be an elite climber to get invited to Everest, and the acknowledged approach involved seige tactics. This expedition reached the summit three separate times, twice via the Southeast Ridge route and once by the first-ever ascent of the Western Ridge. This is all ...
