Workman Publishing Company, 1999

WOW!! Lets start gardening!!!
I bought both books. Roots,Shoots,Buckets & Boots, and Sunflower Houses. They are not the same! There are a couple of similar items, but both worth having and different. Sunflower houses shows how to make leaf hats and flower crowns, screechers, boats, pansy dolls, and much much more. The first book (roots, shoots,..) shows more creative gardening and hideouts and things like pizza patches ...

I'm inspired
Well researched and considered. Thorough, yet practical and attainable. I appreciated learning about all the different types of root cellars and how to build them. Previous to reading this book, a root cellar to me was and expensive underground project with stairs and cement walls and electricity. Until I can afford that we can inexpensively create/build/dig the other options.

Cune Press, 1998

One a day for good vocabulary
At the end of each of our homeschool opening times we would learn one word. I used this with my tenth, sixth, and third grader. I used no cards but would simply "flash" the word at them with my hand covering the answer. After we discussed each new word we'd go back to previous ones to review, everyone shouting out the answer if they knew it. Sometimes I'd let them be the teacher and I'd ...

Build Your Own underground Root Cellar

Phyllis Hobson

Storey Publishing, LLC, 1983

Convenience and Saving Money
Having a root cellar in your back yard is like having your own private supermarket of fresh fruits and vegetables. Any time you need potatoes for dinner or an apple for a snack, just open the door and walk inside. Anything you need is right there on the shelves. But a root cellar is more than a convenience. In addition to providing the security of having a year's supply of fruits and ...

great teaching aid
I bought this to help students with biology vocabulary words on the high school level. It is fun to look up word parts. I hope it is helpful to the students to get familiar with the meanings of the different words parts.

Root Cause Analysis
I found this book most helpful in trying to learn quickly the techniques of solving cause and effect problems; to which I had no previous study or training other than common sense. It gave me specfic ways of gathering information and using it as a basis of making decisions that effect our daily operation and to be able to find ways of improving the quality of what we do.

Wadsworth Publishing, 2007

Excellent Introduction to Philosophy
Helen Buss Mitchell does a great job at introducing the reader to philosophical topics and concepts through this book and its accompanying "reader" with excerpts from essays by astute philosophical authors. I am currently enrolled in a philosophy telecourse and these are the required books for the class along with two videotapes. IF you can get the videotapes, they help a great deal as well. ...

English from the Roots Up Flashcards, Vol. 1

Joegil K. Lundquist

Cune Press, 2001

Buy the flash cards, not the book
I purchased both the book and the flash cards. After reviewing both I kept the flash cards and returned the book. The flash cards have everything you need, and they are ready to use. The flash cards include all forms of the greek or latin word on the front, and on the back they list many common English words based on the root. The book requires that you make flash cards. The book also ...

Trace Your Roots with DNA: Use Your DNA to Complete Your Family Tree

Megan Smolenyak, Ann Turner

Rodale Books, 2004

Excellent contribution in a new subject of growing importance
Even a decade ago, "genetic genealogy" barely existed as an almost science-fictional idea. Now, it's one of the most debated topics in our field and thousands of family researchers are involved in projects to identify ancestors through DNA analysis. (I'm in two projects now, myself.) It's a rather complicated subject, though, and for those (like me) who barely scraped through high school biology, ...

Sibylle Von Olfers

Floris Books, 1980

A Classic Story
This was my favorite book as a child. The art-nouveau illustrations are evocative and detailed, but simple and not overwhelming. The story itself is likewise simple but beautifully-written. It has depth, pointing you to ideas that you can explore with your children, without being tedious or trite. This book is a wonderful illustration of the first stirrings of spring, hidden in secret ...

Apollo Root Cause Analysis: A New Way of Thinking

Dean L. Gano

Apollonian Publications, 2008

A unique approach
Apollo is the name given by the author to his unique approach to root cause analysis. I'm assuming this (Apollo) explains why there is a naked man on the cover, either that or this is the most unique author photo I have ever seen. The book focuses on causal relationships, emphasizing that there are often many causes (factors) contributing to an undesirable outcome. The author's insights on casual ...

Roots of the Russian Language: An Elementary Guide to Wordbuilding (NTC Russian Series)

George Z. Patrick

National Textbook Company, 1989

A must-have for serious students of Russian
I first heard about this book from my college Russian teacher, who gave it a strong endorsement as a must-have for all serious students of Russian. I couldn't agree more. This book provides Russian language roots alphabetically and lists around 3-10, sometimes even more words that are derived from that particular root. Memorization of the root leads to a rapid expansion of vocabulary derived from ...

Root Canal Cover-up
Weston A Price published more wisdom in the early 1900's about dental disease than we could imagine... Dr. Meinig's work is a great expose on the establishments criminal cover-up on this and other topics. This finally convinced my own dentist after hearing from me for years how bad parts of the dental industry has been... I'm glad that Dr. Meinig had the character to tell the truth...

The Childhood Roots of Adult Happiness: Five Steps to Help Kids Create and Sustain Lifelong Joy

Edward M. Md Hallowell

Ballantine Books, 2003

I wonder what he says about video games
I haven't read the book, so I'll use a 5-star review like everyone else just to not slant the outcome. But I wonder what he says about video games. They are a form of play but in my mind don't enforce a human connection. And I've been hearing stories lately (on NPR etc.) about people who can't get their adult kids to be productive members of society because they just want to play video games.
