Violence, then, as now, was a way of life. All boys fought - life was worse for those who refused. Violence and the rituals surrounding it established the social pecking order.

Canada's first memory of street violence came at age 4, ...             Long Knife13 reviews James Alexander Thom Topeka Bindery, 1994 Incredible story of harship and American heroism What an incredible tale! Most people focus on the campaigns east of the Appalachain Mountains when it comes to the Revoultionary War...but very few are aware of the details of the campaign by George Rogers Clark to take the Nowrthwest Territory west of the mountains. And nobody tells such a tale better than Thom.

(Usually by knife instructors who not only could not read Spanish but certainly had no clue as to the idioms of ...             Bowie and Big Knife Fighting System8 reviews Dwight McLemore Paladin Press, Boulder, CO, 2003 An excellent training guide, offering insight into American fighting knives and knife fighting concepts. Bowie and Big-knife Fighting System begins with a brief history of the Bowie knife, and offers a bit of insight into the life of Jim Bowie himself.

The quality ...             Red Knife (Cork O'Conner Mysteries)7 reviews William Kent Krueger Atria Books, 2008 Red Knife is the best so far Ahoy Kent I signed up on Amazon to get Red Knife in hard cover when it became available. This is a nice arrangement. I got the hard cover at a good price (for a hard cover), and they got a chance to take orders instead of guessing on the volume. The book came just before my birthday, so I think of it as a present. In my opinion this was your best book yet, better than Thunder Bay in ...             Holding Stone Hands: On the Trail of the Cheyenne Exodus6 reviews Alan Boye University of Nebraska Press, 1999 HISTORY COMES ALIVE ON THIS FANTASTIC ADVENTURE This is a magical walk through a dark time in American History...Alan's own experiences are so materfully intertwined with history on this voyage, the past truly comes alive as you feel every step and face every fear.

Since I am a novice, ...             Shadow of the Knife (Caleneno)4 reviews Jane Fletcher Bold Strokes Books, 2008 Her best yet. Warning, this is not a happy, feel good book. But I loved it anyway. The writing was tight and grabbed you and pulled you into the action. It's a gritty book that keeps you thinking, long after the last page has been turned, about the price we pay for honour and for the choices we make in our lives. I really love it when our lesbian writers find that they have more to tell than a simple, sweet ...             The Buffalo Knife3 reviews William O. Steele Harcourt Young Classics, 2004 One great book To everyone, I wanted to take a moment to tell you how wonderful this book is. I first read it in Junior High School, I fell in love with it. I mustve read it 3 or 4 times since. Its a wonderful story, like all Steele books it leaves the reader spellbound at the end. The description says ages 9-12 but you can be MUCH MUCH older to enjoy this book. It is really a book for anyone with a sense of ...             Knife4 reviews Vuk Draskovic Serbian Classics Pr, 2007 five stars This book is so well written that the only reason it wouldn't qualify for the Nobel prize is that it is too blunt. It is not politically correct. The narrative makes it seem like a film in the way the pictures in your head change as you read the words. It's well written. The dialogue is natural and flowing. Character development is superb and well developed. The novel explores the ...             Culinary Math4 reviews Julia Hill John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2006 Must buy culinary students I'm a culinary student and found this book very helpful for converting units into metric units.

Allen Smith Buccaneer Books, 1998 One of the greatest, nearly forgotten humorist's best work I've read this -- as well as everything else the late author wrote. He's a forgotten treasure, who belongs, in his own way, with Benchley, Thurber, Perelman and the rest. I strongly recommend this book, even if you have to browbeat the publisher into republishing.             Auschwitz: A History in Photographs3 reviews Indiana University Press, 1993 A great picture novel that helped me learn more. I'm still yet a child, and still yet to grow, but I will never grow out of the rememberence of the Holocaust. It was a time in our worlds history that we should never forget. This book helps reminds us of it and gives us a better view and perspective of what happen and to never take advantage of it.             Forget the Knife: A Complete Guide to Cosmetic Rejuvenation Without Surgery3 reviews Alexander J. Covey M.D. Mill City Press, Inc., 2007 Don't Even Think About Going Under The Knife Until You Read This Everyone wants to look like they did when they were young.

The emphasis on each page is on the knives, what materials where used and other info. This book differs from David Darom in that respect, for the money the Darom book at $25 would be a better purchase with more info on the individual makers ...             The Knife and Gun Club: Scenes from an Emergency Room4 reviews Eugene Richards Atlantic Monthly Press, 1995 True, candid, a real life glimpse of the EMS system ...
