What could have been a "dry" subject was actually quite gripping and informative, and fortunate to have many participants in key moments still available. In that ...             Toot and Puddle: The Mystery of the Disappearing Swing (Toot and Puddle) National Geographic Society National Geographic Children's Books, 2008 It’s a hot, hot day in Woodcock Pocket. Perfect weather for the swing that Puddle has made beside the pond for his friend Opal. But when they return for a swing and a splash, all that’s left is the rope. The tire is GONE! They attach another tire but the very next day, it happens again...and AGAIN! Toot and Puddle have a mystery to solve: The Mystery of the Disappearing Swing.             Lautner, 1911-1994: Disappearing Space (Basic Art)3 reviews Barbara-Ann Campbell-Lange Taschen, 2005 John Lautner-The Big Series The large color photo's in this book are wonderful, but unfortunately, there is not as much information on the architect and the individual projects he worked on, that there are in the other 2 Lautner books I have Purchased ("John Lautner- Architect", and "The Architecture of John Lautner". Also this book is written in three languages and therefore the layout is a little confusing. If you ...             The Disappearing Alphabet3 reviews Richard Wilbur Voyager Books, 2001 Excellent:for its humor, poetic quality, illustrations. I highly recommend this book. The lines are easy to remember, and are very quotable. They provide an introduction to poetry and to the play with language. They introduce vocabulary with humor. The illustrations are quite extraordinary, the print of high quality.             Loving Him Without Losing You: How to Stop Disappearing and Start Being Yourself14 reviews Beverly Engel Wiley, 2001 A Prayer Answered I am in the throes of a very painful break-up and this book is saving my life. I am a classic "disappearing woman" and I have had 3 painfully dysfunctional MAJOR relationships to prove it. This book is giving me more insight into why I choose the men I do and, more importantly, the hope and the tools to change my life and be able to have a healthy relationship one day.             Disappearing Destinations: 37 Places in Peril and What Can Be Done to Help Save Them (Vintage Departures ...2 reviews Kimberly Lisagor, Heather Hansen Vintage, 2008 A Pragmatic Call for Responsible Tourism Disappearing Destinations is a timely book about the impact of our actions on the places that we love.

But they can also be ...             The Disappearing Sun (Disney Fairies)4 reviews Tennant Redbank RH/Disney, 2007 Great Book! This is another in the Disney Fairy series. My seven year old loves these books!             The Disappearing Floor (Hardy Boys, Book 19)11 reviews Franklin W. Dixon Grosset & Dunlap, 1940 Science Fiction Hardys There was a fascination in the 30s with science fiction. The original Hardy Boys book which was revised into this book was originally written in the early half of the last century, as you can tell by the improbably gadgets described in this story. This mystery is one of the most bizarre of the early Hardy Boys' books. There are supposed ghosts, a mysterious death, secret passages, missing ...             Toot and Puddle: The Mystery of the Disappearing Swing (Toot and Puddle) National Geographic National Geographic Children's Books, 2008 It’s a hot, hot day in Woodcock Pocket.

Toot and Puddle have a mystery to solve: The Mystery of the Disappearing Swing.             Disappearing World: 101 of the Earth's Most Extraordinary and Endangered Places2 reviews Alonzo C. Addison Collins, 2008 Great coffee table book - with substance I found this to be a really interesting book about an important, and I think, little known subject. I had heard a bit about world heritage sites but I wasn't really sure what they were. The book is very well-organized and easy to read. For each of the 100 sites presented, there is a small map to show us where it is located, as well as several photographs that both give a sense of the value of ...             Morris' Disappearing Bag (Picture Puffins)9 reviews Puffin, 2001 The best present EVER! What if you were the youngest rabbit in the family and nobody wanted to play with your Christmas bear because it was too babyish? Would you feel left out if your sisters and brother said you were too little to play with THEIR presents? Would you sit in the corner with your ears drooping in sadness? If that tugs at your heartstrings, meet Morris. He's the dearest little bunny you ever saw, and ...             The Mystery of the Disappearing Cat (Mysteries)2 reviews Enid Blyton Egmont Books Ltd, 2003 The second book to the series This is the second book to the five findouter series written by Enid Blyton. As I have mentioned in my review to the first book (i.e: The Mystery of the Burnt Cottage), this series of books is probably Enid Blyton's best work, being very entertaining, having great plots, and definitely superior in quality when compared with the more flashily titled "Famous Five" and "Secret Seven". Recommended to ...             The Case of the Disappearing Dinosaur (Jigsaw Jones Mystery, No. 17) James Preller Scholastic, 2002 Missing hamsters, lost coins, haunted houses...Jigsaw Jones has seen it all before.

Time for Jigsaw and ...             Disappearing Moon Cafe: A Novel6 reviews Sky Lee Douglas & McIntyre, 2006 Disappearing Moon Cafe works Fiction and History into Magic As a student of the first Chinese Canadian history course offered in any Canadian university (University of Alberta), I found Sky Lee's Disappearing Moon Cafe one of the most profound and intellectually stimulating novels I have come across in my life. Though a background in the history of Chinese Canadians is by no means a pre-requisite to this novel, I believe Lee has thoroughly researched the ...             A Disappearing Number (Oberon Modern Plays) Simon McBurney (Theatre Complicite) Oberon Books, 2008 Winner of the 2008 Olivier Award for Best New Play "With touching emotion and unnerving disquietude, A Disappearing Number forces the spectator to consider the fact of love, death and belonging, within the space of his or her own personal universe."- New Statesman             The Late Great Mexican Border: Reports from a Disappearing Line2 reviews Cinco Puntos Press, 1996 Excellent! From El Planeta Platica journal - Subtitled "Reports from a didsappearing line," this book may be one of the best collection of border essays and insights. I've heard of the Cinco Puntos Press for several years, but never came across their publications until recently. The editors have wisely chosen to include some of the best writers from the region instead of the usual hash of academics. ...             Disappearing Acts (Herculeah Jones Mystery)3 reviews Betsy Byars Puffin, 2006 Disappearing Acts I have read many of the Herculeah Jones Mysteries but this one is my favorint! It had a certain pull to the book some would say the same effect of Harry Potter. With this having two stories to it you had to keep on reading more if you wanted to know what was going to happen in the other story. An exilent book! Read it!             Disappearing Acts: Gender, Power, and Relational Practice at Work2 reviews Joyce K. Fletcher The MIT Press, 2001 Understanding knowledge-intensive work This book contributes to our understanding of gender and work, and this is important. But I want to draw attention to this book's more general value for anyonet concerned to understand the changing nature of work in our times. Today, as more and more work situations involve knowledge-intensive, fluid environments where the old principles of command-and-control are ineffective, those of us ...             The Brotherhood of the Disappearing Pants: A Field Guide to Conservative Sex Scandals11 reviews Joseph Minton Amann, Tom Breuer Nation Books, 2007 A Very Funny Book! This is a very entertaining and "revealing" book. It documents the MANY hypocritical actions of various conservative Republican moral wind-bags. When one considers the ethical lapses of liberals like Eliot Spitzer, Bill Clinton and Ted Kennedy, no one can seriously claim that liberals are "without sin." However, what makes the book truly enlightening is not the sins themselves. Rather, it is ...             Disappearing Acts: Spectacles of Gender and Nationalism in Argentina's "Dirty War" (New Americanists)3 reviews Diana Taylor Duke University Press, 1997 Wonderful, fresh look at Argentina's Dirty War Taylor has created beautiful book out of a horrendous period in Argentina. She is a wonderful writer, and the book left me with a prfound sense of sadness and a desire to save the world. I am currently studying the Dirty War and I found this book has been the meat of my studies. She looks at the Dirty War at many different angles and ties them together masterfully.
