Once upon ...             Peek-A Who?99 reviews Nina Laden Chronicle Books, 2000 Peek-a WHO? I bought this for my daughter at 18 mos based on the reviews. She loves books. This was an instant favorite. From the moment she picks it up she is smiling in anticipation of what is to come. She is now turning 2 this month and still it is her favorite book. She likes to fill in the blank for you when you read it to her.

The Best Book on Great Depression Economics Bernanke rigorously explains the economics of the Great Depression. A massive monetary contraction (reduction in the money supply) was the cause of the Great Depression, in large part due to the flawed gold standard that was created following World War One. The massive banking collapse (due to weak regulation) further worsened the disaster. To a lesser extent, the Smoot-Hawley tarriff contributed ...             The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression116 reviews Amity Shlaes Harper Perennial, 2008 Every American Should Read This Book Amity Shlaes has written a timely and provocative book. As our presidential election nears, one can hear Republicans and Democrats alike arguing for more government action, more government-sponsored bailouts, more government intrusion into the market. As one commentator recently mentioned, it seems that we're on a course further toward the left ... no matter whom we elect. A big part of the ...             Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning340 reviews Jonah Goldberg Doubleday, 2008 Helpful I have been looking for more indepth study of liberalism written by someone who isn't one.

The Old Farmer's Almanac goes back a long way! On page 206, the 2009 version notes that the weather forecasts go back to a "secret formula" devised by the Almanac's founder, Robert Thomas, in 1792. Now, that's a legacy! I've always found this volume a lot of fun. In fact, it has become an institutionalized Christmas gift to my son each year (he seems to enjoy it, too), so don't spoil the ...             Robert's Rules Of Order Newly Revised In Brief (Roberts Rules of Order (in Brief))40 reviews Henry M.

Miklowitz The Guilford Press, 2002 Very Helpful for Friends and Family as well as victims of Manic Depression This book proved to be easy to read and informative. I would recommend it for anyone who is, or thinks they might be, bipolar. Also, it is good to read if you for sure think you are NOT bipolar, but others think you are. It will help you gain some perspective. This is also a helpful book for family and close friends of those who suffer from manic depression.             The Front214 reviews Patricia Cornwell Putnam Adult, 2008 Poor I am a Patricia Cornwell fan, but am finding myself questioning as of late WHY???!!! The Front was slow to start and when it did pick up speed, it faltered once again. Though there were limited pages, it didn't captivate; forcing one to wonder if it was a rushed publication. Nevertheless, I'm going to give Ms. Cornwell another chance with "Scarpetta" and hopefully it will allow me to ...             Little Heathens: Hard Times and High Spirits on an Iowa Farm During the Great Depression89 reviews Mildred Armstrong Kalish Bantam, 2008 A Keeper!!! I read aloud so many parts of this great book to my husband that he just had to read the whole thing for himself - brought back many, many memories - funny how hard times can be remembered so favorably! We highly recommend anyone reading "Little Heathens" who grew up on a farm, in the country or in a small town, or wish they had.

I would definitely suggest using this along with a different stuty guide to prep for the LSAT.             Boynton's Greatest Hits: Volume 1 (Boynton, Sandra. Boynton Board Books.)47 reviews Little Simon, 1998 Boyton's Greatest Hits I love Boynton's books. They are so colorfully written...both enjoyable for the child AND the reader.

Tolkien Houghton Mifflin, 2007 Excellent Story The story was tough to get into; however, once I was into it, it was impossible to put down. The language style is a little tough to get used to, but once the story starts moving along you don't even notice it. This is another great book about elves and men. If you enjoyed the Silmarilion you will like this book.             The Age of Miracles: Embracing the New Midlife71 reviews Marianne Williamson Hay House, 2008 Wonderful CD This Cd has come to me in a time of my life when I really needed to know someone else knows just how I feel.
