Pictures from a kite? It sounded like sort of a hobby project, or a curiosity piece. I figured the photos would be lousy. I was wrong! I'm not sure if the pictures are National Geographic quality, but they are darned nice pictures. Don't think "pictures from a kite" think about the pictures you'd take if you could float ...             That Special Place: New World Irish Stories6 reviews Terence Winch Hanging Loose Press, 2004 Enjoying life Terence Winch's new book, "That Special Place: New World Irish Stories", is a pure delight and can be read repeatedly for all the richness one finds there. A first generation Irish-American raised in the Bronx during the 50's, Winch is known for his distinguished career both as a musician and a writer. This latest book is a combination of reflections and vignettes about his life as the child of ...             Holding Out and Hanging on: Surviving Hurricane Katrina7 reviews Thomas Neff University of Missouri Press, 2007 Brilliant, insightful, yet beautiful vision into the reality of Katrina ... Thomas Neff is a remarkable photographer and this book sharing the real impact of Katrina on people's lives is powerful, timeless, truthful in an inside and honest way that no casual viewer could comprehend. Neff's vision is sophisticated but pure, trained but revealing in its simplicity, visually poetic with the abhorrent facts of life that have been so cruel to so many. If that weren't enough, ...             Audubon 365 Songbirds and Other Backyard Birds Picture-A-Day Calendar 20077 reviews National Audubon Society Artisan, 2006 BEST CALENDAR FORMAT I received the Audubon 365 Songbirds Calendar as a gift last year and enjoed it every day. I wanted to reorder it and looked for it prior to the beginning of the year. I was thrilled when I discovered that Amazon.com offered it! With all the wall calendars available on the market, this one has an unusual format. Instead of one large picture at the top with the month's dates below, this ...             Masters: Art Quilts: Major Works by Leading Artists (The Masters)30 reviews Martha Sielman Lark Books, 2008 "Masters: Art Quilts" is FANTASTIC ! "Masters: Art Quilts" is one of the most fantastic books I've ever seen; incredible photo imaging, wonderful commentaries about the artists, and the book is beautifully organized. "Masters" is inspirational - think of it as artistic "eye candy",,,,,, I'll treasure it forever ! Congratulations to Studio Art Quilts Associates (S.A.Q.A.) executive director, Martha Sielman, for providing all ...             Beautiful Blooms: Quilts and Cushions to Applique (That Patchwork Place) (That Patchwork Place)6 reviews Susan Taylor Propst That Patchwork Place, 2008 You CAN have a green thumb This is definitely the book for me. I DON'T have a green thumb but I do appliqué. I wish I had found this book last fall rather than now going into summer but the book will still be there come fall. Appliqué is something I love to do in front of the fireplace on a cool/cold night. The first 25 pages are all about appliqué hot-to's and quilting basics along with choosing colors and fabrics. ...             Hanging Curve9 reviews Kensington, 2000 A Great Book As a fan of the Mickey Rawling's series, this book was great! This book kept my attention and I could hardly put it down! I would also recommend "Murder at Wrigley Field". Troy Soos is a great author.             Texian Macabre: The Melancholy Tale of a Hanging in Early Houston7 reviews Stephen L. Hardin State House Press, 2007 A Wild Ride! A wild ride indeed. A taskfully interwoven tale that takes the reader on an incredible journey. Mr. Hardin paints a most interesting picture of how two men went from respected war heros to "rowdy loafers" who paid the ultimate price in order to make Houston a respectable city. I highly recommend this book on the basis that you can not beat getting a little education while being entertained.             The Painted Quilt: Paint and Print Techniques for Color on Quilts16 reviews Linda Kemshall, Laura Kemshall David & Charles, 2007 Excellence in all subjects and Inspriational! A Definite 5-Star Book in My Library! First off, all the other reviewers are right on the mark when it comes to this book, yet I wanted to add a few words that might help others choose this book for their library. For one, the page on the subject "Inspired to Design" is just the beginning of the subject covered in detail through the rest of the book, but its place at the beginning is so true - test projects on paper before using ...             Second Guessing God: Hanging on When You Can't See His Plan7 reviews Brian Jones Standard Publishing Company, 2006 More readable than "The Purpose Driven Life" "Second Guessing God" by Brian Jones shows how to live a purpose driven life rather than tell how in "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren. Not that I am knocking Rick. However I read Rick's book just prior to Brian's. When reading "Purpose Driven" my wife got mad at me because I would leave her to go downstairs to read in the quiet. With "Second Guessing God" it didn't matter what else was on ...             Ansel Adams 2009 Wall Calendar5 reviews Ansel Adams, 2008 1st class product & service This is an outstandong calendar that my daughter asks for and gets from us at Christmas. Over the past two years our UK book stores stopped stocking it. That's where Amazon comes in..........ordered, and delivered well before estimated delivery time from America via Germany AND even with post & packing charges it was cheaper than walking into a book store in the UK. This is where buying on the ...             The Bayeux Tapestry: Monument to a Norman Triumph (Art & Design)4 reviews Wolfgang Grape Prestel Publishing, 1994 The Carpet that wasn't really a carpet This visually stunning 11th century tapestry is not a tapestry (in the literal sense). It is embroidered color wool on a linen background, rather than a hanging carpet. The entire tapestry is presented in color in this book - broken into frames with descriptions of the scenes. Art historians believe that it was commissioned by William the Conqueror's half brother, Odo, Bishop of Bayeux. After ...             Hanging Out with Lab Coats: Hope, Humor & Help for Cancer Patients and Their Caregivers5 reviews Wendi Fox Pedicone Fox Press, 2006 Inspirational book on breast cancer Wendi shares her personal experience with breast cancer and does it with her amazing sense of humor. She provides information to readers about all the treatment options available. As well as, how she dealt with everyday life i.e. children, school, work, relationships etc. This book will make you laugh and cry!             Reading Woman 2009 Wall Calendar5 reviews Pomegranate, 2008 This is NOT a wall calendar... I wish the product description would have mentioned this product's format. It is an "engagement calendar" --- a spiral bound book-type calendar. The artwork is very nice, but I was shopping for a wall calendar.             A Day's Portion5 reviews Harvey Shapiro Hanging Loose Press, 1994 The Many Voices of Sherman Alexie Sherman Alexi is an in-your-face poet, there's no doubt about it. He has a voice that demands to be heard, and you will listen, even unwillingly. His style is unique, mixing short, terse lines of verse alternating with long lines of prose that carry contrasts of charged emotion against the calming voice of reason. It is not an easy read. There are harsh truths, but truths that need to be ...             The Hanging at Stinking Creek5 reviews Gaylon Barrow Infinity Publishing (PA), 2000 A true Western The Hanging at Stinking Creek is a smooth flowing novel with a taste of the Old West that I have not felt in years. I grew up watching John Wayne, Roy Rogers, and the Lone Ranger with my father. This book brings back these fond memories by creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a time gone by. The characters come to life and draw you into their lives and problems. Gant is a fantastic and ...             The Bayeux Tapestry on CD-Rom: Individual Licence (Scholarly Digital Editions)4 reviews Martin K. Foys Scholarly Digital Editions, 2002 A great resource This CD-ROM edition of the Bayeux Tapestry is a great program for students, teachers or people just interested in learning about this famous piece of history. An amazing amount of detail is included, from a basic introduction, to scholarly arguments about how to interpret a single inscription or figure in the border. The videos and colour maps are helpful, as is the ability to search through the ...             The Simpsons 2009 Fun Calendar5 reviews Matt Groening Harper Paperbacks, 2008 Another Great Simpsons Calendar Another year, another great Simpsons calendar.
