Hidden From History
This disaster has been hidden from historical references better than anything I've ever come across. Over 1,000 people die horribly, mostly women and children, and the following has occurred: The 2004 Microsoft Encarta DVD Encyclopedia makes absolutely no reference to this event. The book "New York Times Page One" does not show this as one of it's important front page dates. The book ...

Guidance from the Guide
We were lucky enough to get on a boat of the NY Circle Line where Malachy Murray held a microphone in his hand - and the attention of his audience as well. He made history come alive, and through his colourful comments on NYC the two hours on that boat went by without a boring minute. This book is a fabulous way to remember this great tour of Manhattan, providing anecdotes and facts, and all of ...

They are placed in a flat container with room for 16 squares, which leaves one cell empty. Without lifting a block out of the container, the player is to rearrange the blocks into a different pattern. The great puzzle master Sam ...

This is a Fantastic and Unique Historical Novel You'll Enjoy
I read this book the first time in 1985, eighteen years ago. The book is a historical fictional novel. The people and events that took place actually occured. The author filled in some of what may have been said, although she researched the book thoroughly on location and refered to some diaries and letters for dialogue. The reseach took place over many years. I spent many long days at the ...

Great book full of resources
This is a wonderful introduction to Direct Instruction - one of the most effective methods of teaching ever created. I used Direct Instruction in a 6th grade classroom where half of the students couldn't read 3 and 4 letter words. By the end of the year, my students were reading like 5th graders, 120 words a minute. This book gives a teacher or parent the tools to apply Direct Instruction to ...

A welcome prefeace to Joshua Slocum's 'lone' journey
Having read SAILING ALONE AR0UND THE WORLD, I found Victor's book enlighening. He is not the writer his father was, but his recollections fill out the years of preparation leading eventually to his father's 'sailing alone around the world.' If it lacks the poetic style of his father, it does refer to his mother and ships owned and sailed by his father which lends romance(both senses)and ...
