They Poured Fire on Us From the Sky: The Story of Three Lost Boys from Sudan75 reviews
Benson Deng, Alephonsian Deng, ...

PublicAffairs, 2006

Incredible Testament to the Human Spirit
The raw story of these children, caught amidst forces much greater than themselves, is a compelling one impossible to fathom for those of us living in the safety of life in the US. This book captures the joy of early childhood in its purest form as it must be in the remote areas of Africa, where life is unfettered by "modern" demands. Then, we are along for each step of the journey when that ...
  
  











  



  
Standing in the Light: The Captive Diary of Catharine Carey Logan, Delaware Valley, Pennsylvania, 1763105 reviews
Mary Pope Osborne

Scholastic Inc., 1998

A beautiful book with a gripping narrative!
I love reading books in diary form and the "Dear America" series of books for younger readers are not only beautifully bound, but each individual story is truly engaging, transporting readers into a bygone era with its entailing adventures. The heroines are typically young girls who find themselves in extraordinary circumstances - and having to display immense courage in trying times. ...
  
  











  



  
Why Do I Still Have Thyroid Symptoms? When My Lab Tests Are Normal: A Revolutionary Breakthrough In ...53 reviews
Datis Kharrazian

Morgan James Publishing, 2009

Wonderful information, Very Dense
This book does not treat the reader like an idiot. It goes into the complexities of the thyroid and all of the factors that affect it and the ways to make a change. The author is a natural teacher (and genius) and walks the reader through complex ideas that would normally take forever to comprehend. As someone in healthcare who deals with these thyroid patients daily it's basically a thyroid ...
  
  











  



  
Common Sense, The Rights of Man and Other Essential Writings of Thomas Paine56 reviews
Thomas Paine

CreateSpace, 2009

As advertised
This classic hardly needs a review from me as to its merits; what's really needed is a renewed interest in reading this important work. Today's citizens could all benefit from gaining an acquaintance with the people and ideas that helped forge a new - and different - nation. For that reason, this little tome is highly recommended.
  
  











  



  
The Founders' Second Amendment: Origins of the Right to Bear Arms37 reviews
Stephen P. Halbrook

Ivan R. Dee, Publisher, 2008

What the Far-Left Doesn't Want You To Read
This work is an excellent scholarly treatise on the 2nd amendment of the US Constitution, its origin, environment and intent of those who supported this amendment. The arguments supporting a citizen's right to keep and bear arms at all times unregulated by the Federal Government are thorough and convincing. Most likely, few, if any, judges or liberals/statists in the judiciary, US Government or ...
  
  











  



  
On the Banks of Plum Creek (Little House)49 reviews
Laura Ingalls Wilder

HarperCollins, 1953

One of my all-time favorite Little House books
Little House on the Prairie was different because there, the family was practically alone, out there on the big prairie. However, the family moves and while they don't really have close neighbors, they're near a town, so the girls get to experience some town life (including church, which makes Ma very, very happy) Of course, the family is not without its problems, like the locusts that threaten ...
  
  











  



  
The Dark Horse: The Surprise Election and Political Murder of President James A. Garfield40 reviews
Kenneth D. Ackerman

Da Capo Press, 2003

Said plenty well by others
But I just want to add my half cent's worth. This is one of the most enjoyable books I've ever read. I'm old enough to remember the little square milk cartons at school with the one sentence synopsis of each president in red, white and blue. Poor Garfield got, "Shot by a disappointed office seeker". This is the only one of those I remember all these years later, as even when I was in elementary ...

Her father is persecuted for not selling tea, her mother has a war "secret" of her own, the war beckons both of her brothers, and on ...
  
  











  



  
The Making of America: The Substance and Meaning of the Constitution40 reviews
W. Cleon Skousen

National Center for Constitutional Studies, 1985

A must have
Anyone whom loves the United States Constitution, and Bill of Rights I believe must have this book. Author takes you through the history of how we arrived at such a document. Author also does excellent job of listing all the principles of said Constitution, and giving numerous quotes by the founding father's for each principle. A great book, by a great author the late Cleon Skousen.
  
  











  



  
Nicholas And Alexandra112 reviews
Robert K. Massie

Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers, 2005

Slightly outdated (in places), but still brilliantly written (details)
Here we have an aggregation of factual stories which effectively summarizes multiple historical events, chiefly of late-period Tsarist Russia, delivered by Robert K. Massie in the artful style of a great novelist. The principal theme is that of the marriage and family life of Tsar Nicholas [Romanov] II and his wife, the German Princess Alexandra, their privileged fairy tale existence with ...

Patricia Clapp

HarperTeen, 1991

My Favorite Book
I got this book on a trip to the East Coast when I was ten years old and fell in love. It was my favorite book during all of my early teen years; and though I haven't read it in years, I think it will always hold the place in my heart as my favorite book.
  
  











  



  
Loving-Kindness: The Revolutionary Art of Happiness29 reviews
Sharon Salzberg

Shambhala, 1995

A must read !
Despite a very minor bout with terms a Westerner might be unfamiliar with, this wonderful treatise on living skillfully is an uncomplicated and straight forward look at the process of living well. You might as well go ahead and buy two now: you'll end up giving at least one or two copies to the people you hold near and dear. This brilliant work by Salzberg is too important to miss !
  
  











  



  
Dawn's Early Light28 reviews
Elswyth Thane

Duell, Sloan and Pearce, NY, 1943

Dawn's Early Light
This is the beginning book in a series of books called the Williamsburg novels. I have been reading and re-reading this series of 7 books for over 50 years. They are my all time favorite books. Each book deals with a war or pre-war action (except the war of 1812) in which the US has taken part from the Revolutionary War (Dawn's Early Light) to the Civil War (Yankee Stranger) to the Homing with ...

Waset

Golden Ankh Publishing / Collectiveworks, 2004

Inspiring!
I finished reading the book in a week --which isn't bad seeing as how I work full time, go to school, and have a vicious 2 year old at home. I told EVERYBODY I know that they better get a copy cuz they weren't getting mine. I did let them take peeks inside though...they were laughing like crazy! Let me tell you...it was real --I mean really REAL...humorous...poetry was on point! On ...

The Black Jacobins: Toussaint L'Ouverture and the San Domingo Revolution25 reviews
C.L.R. James

Vintage, 1989

This is an exceptional book.
And I would like to quote the author at length, from page 223 at the end of the chapter "The Expulsion of the British." James's style as well as his chosen enemies reflect the power of Toussaint on a liberated mind fully 150 years later. And after reading this passage, I realized that Toussaint was the greatest product of that greatest period in human history, The Age of Enlightenment. ...
  
  











  



  
The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution31 reviews
Bernard Bailyn

Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 1992

The great conspiracy
No phase of American history has attracted such talented and distinguished historians and produced such quality scholarship as the revolutionary period. This Pulitzer Prize winning history by Bernard Bailyn is a significant proof point. Bailyn crafts his thesis around the concept of liberty and what it meant to the colonists. He frames the issue of liberty as being a tenuous balance between ...
  
  











  



  
The Peasant Prince: Thaddeus Kosciuszko and the Age of Revolution36 reviews
Alex Storozynski

Thomas Dunne Books, 2009

a forgotten hero
This is a marvelous book that reminds the reader of the importance of Kosciuszko in our American revolution. He worked on the important site of West Point, used his engineering skills to delay the attacking British on the trek from Fort Ticonderoga to the Saratoga battlefields, picked the places that were defensible at the Sarasota area, etc., etc. ---on to helping General Greene in the southern ...

Thomas L. Ogren

Ten Speed Press, 2004

Great book!
This book was better then I expected. Great condition, barely used. It's a good, quick reference for picking out low allergen flowers. If you have allergies, you HAVE TO GET THIS BOOK!
