Livingston Press (AL), 2005

A New Voice Sings Out From Memphis
This book defies description, in my opinion, when it comes to what genre one would place it under: short stories, flash fiction, poetry, even music reviews...it has it all, and more. Mr. Mesler writes with a new voice, one that conjures up images that require the reader to catch his breath every so often. Already having released a very fine novel a couple of years back (Talk) which featured a ...

Baby of Bataan: Memoir of a 14 Year Old Soldier in World War II

Joseph Quitman Johnson

Omonomany, 2004

One of the Best
I've read probably 15-20 books on the subject of POWs held by the Japanese - many of them written by the men themselves - this is one of the best - it's well written, considering it's done by a "non-professional" (some are barely readable) - "Baby of Bataan" is hard to put down as you travel with young Joe Johnson as he acts just the way a 15 year old would - thinks he knows it all and doesn't ...

Exactly what I needed and more!
As a first-time mom and not big on counting calories and daily values %s of each bite of my food I was not sure what to give or not to give and how much to give to my baby girl when she started eating solids. This book gave me exactly the information I needed and more! I am going to buy this book as a Baby Shower gift for my cooworker.

Rachel Reiss

Xlibris Corporation, 2004

The Most Refreshing Take on the Subject in Years
I expected My 50 Years in Hollywood to be yet another book about Hollywood but it ended up being one of the most refreshing take on the subject I have read in years. I am naturally drawn to books about LA because I live here, but I recommend this book to anyone, no matter where they live. The story is told through the eyes of 22 year old industry fledgling, Rachel Reiss. Her mentor, Al ...

Psychosocial Press, 2001

Well written, concise, wonderful!
Ayurveda is a difficult subject at best. It has not recieved nearly as much attention as other Complementary Medical systems like TCM. So when a book comes along that is concise, thought-provoking, and well...exciting, on the subject it is certainly worth noting. An Elementary Textbook of Ayurveda is such a book! This is THE book on Ayurveda that I will recommend to all interested in this ...

Dorrance Publishing Co. Inc., 2008

A Chinese Ann Frank story
Chung Yao is the pseudoname or nom de plume of a very well-known author in Asia. Most Chinese born in the 50-60-70s (even 80s may be?) grew up with her novels filled with eloquent Chinese poetry & melodramatic storylines about feudalistic influences causing conflicts in big families and young people's lives. This book is a translation of the first chapter of the author's autobiography, ...

Adventures in Art: Arts & Crafts Experiences for 8-To 13-Year Olds (Williamson Kids Can! Series)

2 reviews
Susan Milord

Williamson Publishing Company, 1997

Challenging art projects for older children
This is another excellent book in this Williamson art series for children. The cover says it's for ages 8-13, and I'd like to emphasize that it's definitely not for younger children, although a few can be adapted for younger children. Many projects are challenging enough that high school students and adults should enjoy them also. Many of the projects take a definite commitment to time and ...

Laurie Carlson

Williamson Publishing Company, 1990

More than a kids' "busybook"
The craft instructions in this book are indeed easy, fun, cheap to do (etc) for kids. But the best part was the discussion in the back of the book on appropriate levels of creative projects for kids of different ages. It clearly outlined what attention span and dexterity level you should expect from kids of different ages. And it had useful advice for adults on how to make the project fun for ...

Wonderful and fun ideas for me and my kids

It is full of simple, fun, inexpensive or free ideas we can do around the house without too much preparation or clean up time. There are activities to do in the kitchen, outside, on rainy days, for holidays, and even math, crafts and writing activities. My daughter is still too young for some of them, but with so ...

Uplifting and insightful
Most books on aging talk about all the negatives, focusing on how to stave off off physical decline. This book,talking about the inner experience of aging from the perspective of women ranging from their 50s to their eighties--offers a much more nuanced view. How do these women confront basic developmental tasks such as accepting the normal physical changes of aging? How do they handle ...

Laurie Carlson is Outstanding
I have just entered the field of preschool and was disappointed in the books for activities until I found Carlson. Her book isn't full of kiddie graphics as if the kids were reading, her instructions are clear and careful. This book is fun because it gives so many ideas of using things around the house. I liked this book so much that I bought 50 to give to preschool teachers coming to a ...
