Beyond Stone and Steel: A Tribute to the Victims of September 11, 200116 reviews
Hard Shell Word Factory, 2001
A Very Moving Experience
This book was like none other I have ever read... the author seemed to digest this tradegy and somehow turned it into something beautiful. It has reminded me of all that I have, how easily it could be gone and to cherish every moment we are here. It has truly changed the way I see my life. I enjoyed this book very much and highly recommend it to everyone.

Nice!
'Tribute' is awesome so far. I can't wait for the rest of the story to be in print. Even tho a bit sad at first, the author got my attention, so much that I actually began to think of what people might say about me after my death. Please finish this, Graham!

Jan Brett Night Before Christmas
I LOVE Jan Brett's books! I buy them anytime I see them whether on sale, old ones on Amazon as remainders, or new.. They make great gifts. I have a backup of many to give to children, particularly my granddaughters. The illustrations in this one are so beautiful it is really a keepsake to save as well as enjoy. Give it as a gift and you will make some child very happy and a parent happy,too.

The Eighth Promise: An American Son's Tribute to His Toisanese Mother12 reviews
William Poy Lee
Rodale Books, 2007
An Amazing Story of Culture, History, and Grace
I was drawn to The Eighth Promise, as I automatically veer towards any books related to China. Then I realized that this wasn't just about China, but about America as well. The author grew up in San Franscisco's Chinatown during quite volatile times--the Vietnam war, Civil Rights protests, Chinatown wars. I was fascinated by this history which he so vividly brought to life. Then, a terrible ...

Great Book!
Love of Goldens has cute stories and some of the best golden photos that I've ever seen! The photos are absolutely beautiful and there's a TON of them!! It's worth it to buy this book even if only to look at the pictures.

An Historical Fiction Treasure!
I found this historical fiction text to be absolutely enthralling! It has not only provided me with hours of enjoyable, page-turning reading, but has also given me great insight into my Polish ancestry and heritage. The strength, spirit, and heart of the Polish people--MY people--is wonderfully portrayed within the pages of this book. I'm so looking forward to receiving Mr. Martin's sequel, ...

Dimensions Behind the Twilight Zone: A Backstage Tribute to Television's Groundbreaking Series18 reviews
Stewart T. Stanyard
Ecw Press, 2007
BEYOND ANOTHER DIMENSION!
I highly recommend this rarity of a book! My favorite part was the 8 page interview with Bill Mumy who played in three episodes of THE TWILIGHT ZONE "Long Distance Call," "It's a Good Life" and "In Praise of Pip." - Three of my favorites. I really enjoyed the never before scene pictures of him as well. Also, another perk for me was the pic of Terry Burnham who starred in the episode ...

To Honor A Teacher: Students Pay Tribute to Their Most Influential Mentors10 reviews
Jeff Spoden
Andrews McMeel Publishing, 1999
Life's Turning Points
How many of us can look back on our education and formative years and remember a particularly enlightening moment, when a teacher, or coach, or mentor, opened our eyes and changed the direction of our lives? For me it was ninth grade honors biology class, taught by Mr. Wong. He was so enthusiastic and motivating, I decided right then and there to study biology. I majored in biology in ...

Requiem: Diana, Princess of Wales 1961-1997 - Memories and Tributes7 reviews
Brian Macarthur
Arcade Publishing, 1997
this is the most moving book I've ever read
at least in a very long time. I picked up the book as soon as received and had a difficult time putting it down. Its been a long time (over 2 years) since Diana's passing but this book made it feel like it was last month. All the feelings and emotions came flooding back & made me remember what a great loss this was to the world. Obviously the writers of the essays etc had very strong emotions ...

The Night Stalker Companion: A 25th Anniversary Tribute9 reviews
Mark Dawidziak
Pomegranate Press (CA), 1997
Best Companion Book for the Best Series ever....
I own both made for TV movies and all 20 episodes. Darrin McGavin was perfect for the role of Kolchak. I waited every week for a new episode, and was scared every minute as I watched them. The shows/movies not only keep you in suspense, but make you wonder; did it really happen? (If you do not understand that last statement, you never watched the show/movie.) Mr. Dawidziak did a fantastic job of ...

Another Wonderful Book On The Wonders Of Labs!
Here is another attractive entry by naturalist author Todd Berger, one that takes a truly loving look at America's singular and by far most popular wonder dog, the Labrador Retriever. As Berger points out so well, there are few other animals who draw such love from humans as a dog, and surely the Lab is the most loveable of the breeds. Here he presents the Labrador Retriever in all its wonder and ...

An Unusual Approach to a Murder Case
I have known Tommy Brannon since 1964 when we were both NIS special agents and I was sent to DaNang RVN to assist in the overwhelming case load building up there where Tommy was trying to keep his head above water. His reputation as an outstanding interrogator and polygraph operator were well-known even back then. After that first meeting and working closely with him on several cases over the ...

Randy's The Best!!
I was lucky enough to grow up watching Randy play weekends at the Starwood on Santa Monica Blvd with Quiet Riot. The guy is still the best I have ever heard and this "Randy Rhoads Tribute" truly rocks. Sorry everyone, if you never saw the skinny dude with his polka dot bow tie live, this is the best you can do!

Postcards of Nursing: A Worldwide Tribute8 reviews
Michael Zwerdling
Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2003
A book for all nurses (and historians, and art lovers)
When young Michael Zwerdling left the University of Vermont in 1965 with a degree in psychology, he was still 14 years away from starting his collection of nursing postcards, and almost 30 years distant from the work he does today as a nurse in a busy emergency room in Washington, D.C. Somewhere between the milestones of getting his bachelor's degree and RN license, Zwerdling instructed ...
