I sent her my novel "The Kids on the Block," and Denise sent me hers; "Give Me Back My Credit." Even though "The Kids on the Block has some sad parts, for the most part it is humorous and hilariously funny. Denise's true story is, on the other hand, tragic, nightmarish and bloodcurdling to say the least. I do not expect ...             Where the Wild Things Were: Life, Death, and Ecological Wreckage in a Land of Vanishing Predators9 reviews William Stolzenburg Bloomsbury USA, 2008 Excellent book This is an excellent summary of many field studies that prove the importance of apex predators. It's a quick and compelling read, and expect it may become required reading for all interested in environmental issues. The book paints a rather bleak picture of the situation we face, and now I notice it's conclusions everywhere. He talks at length about the DC area, where I live, which adds to my own ...             rexGun6 reviews Stephen W. Templar Morgan Templar, 2008 Tremendous information packed in a very approachable format Dr. Templar provides an entertaining read that is packed with a great deal of ballistic research. His Terminal Medicine (T.Rx.) formula and enclosed charts provide an excellent framework for any hunter to select the round that suits both the individual hunter and the hunted prey. He demonstrates how individual ballistic characteristics interact to impact the overall effectiveness of the round. ...             Everybody's Somebody's Lunch3 reviews Cherie Mason Tilbury House Publishers, 1998 An accessible book for kids about predators and prey Our family's Scottish terrier recently brought home a partially-eaten rabbit, and the kids freaked. It was hard to explain why he had killed the rabbit, and why it was OK for him to do so. EVERYBODY'S SOMEBODY'S LUNCH was recommended by our local bookstore and it really helped my husband and me out...and the kids, and the dog! We're all predators, and we're all prey, and that's how it ...             Predatory Dinosaurs of the World7 reviews Gregory S. Paul Touchstone Books, 1989 Predatory Dinosaurs of the World With an absolute minimum of hyperbole and a maximum of solid research, technical expertise, working theories and a good, solid mastery of biomechanics and anatomy/physiology (not to mention Comparative Anatomy), Greg Paul's "Predatory Dinosaurs of the World" is an absolute necessity for every dinophile in existence: It should be compulsory reading for all - professionals and non-professionals ...             Predatory States: Operation Condor and Covert War in Latin America4 reviews J. Patrice McSherry Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc., 2005 State Terror in the Americas This well-written book meticulously documents the development and operation of an appalling transnational organization of state terror to persecute leftists and other real or imagained opponents of the South American military regimes during the 1970's. Patrice McSherry's research is rigorously documented and lays bare the central role the United States played in supporting Operation Condor and ...             Of a Predatory Heart9 reviews Joe Parry Infinity Publishing, 2007 "Of A Predatory Heart" When it comes to writing from the heart, Joe Parry has few peers. His ability to weave a story in such a way that it brings out the true essence of our most basic emotions is a tremendous talent, for sure, but it also reflects the hard, agonizing work Joe puts into selecting just the right words to say exactly what he wants to say, when he wants to say it. It truly has been my pleasure to work ...             Encyclopedia Prehistorica Mega-Beasts (Encyclopedia Prehistorica)28 reviews Candlewick, 2007 Prehistoria: Mega Beasts Another wonderful pop up book from Robert Sabuda and Matthew Reinhart. I dare you to read the passages on the Wooly Mammoth and avoid getting the trunk and tusks in your face! It just pops right out at you.             UnMasking the Mortgage Madness®: A Predatory Lender's Worst Nightmare - Book/DVD Combo7 reviews Rick Bulman Classic Day Publishing, LLC, 2007 Great Book for a real estate investor As a new real estate investor, I am always looking for ways to learn my trade and this one hit the mark. I read this book in less than 24 hours from purchase and intend on keeping it close by for every loan in the future. I now feel armed to at least hold an "intelligent conversation" with my mortgage broker on our next closing and know what to ask. While I found that my broker is on the "up ...             Are Predatory Commitments Credible?: Who Should the Courts Believe?7 reviews John R. Jr Lott University Of Chicago Press, 1999 Terrific book If you like logical discussions that lead to insights you had not anticipated, this is a book you will enjoy. One such insight is that the predatory commitments of government agencies are likely to be more credible than the predatory commitments of private firms. Lott's book is one of those infrequently found books that requires that you sip a glass of wine as you read one chapter each ...             Kickback: Confessions of a Mortgage Salesman2 reviews Insight Publishing, 2005 Janusz's Essential Resource for Mortgage Buyers Ted Janusz has written a great resource for those who rent or buy. It helped me understand the difference between Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, why there's a separate closing agent at a sale, how to use the good faith estimate to compare to actual mortgage costs, and how to reduce costs with mortgages. I wish I had owned this book when I bought my home. I am buying multiple copies to give to ...             Extreme Readers 4-in-1, Level 3 (Extreme Readers)1 review Katharine Kenah School Specialty Publishing, 2006 Fun and Educational My son loves all the books in this series, and collects them all.             Birds of Prey (Picture Library)1 review Norman S. Barrett Franklin Watts, 1991 Kids will love pictures and diagrams This book sneaks in a lot of education in the text that wraps around great pictures of birds of prey: eagles, buzzards, owls, hawks, falcons. Kids will love the fierce-looking birds; there's even a tasteful photo of vultures on an elephant carcass! Meanwhile the words are there for readers to learn more from. This book is definitely a success!             Predators: A Pop-up Book with Revolutionary Technology2 reviews Lucio and Meera Santoro Little Simon, 2008 Unique and Clever! This wonderful book is full of clever "swinging" pop-ups that add to its charm. It probably needs some adult supervision rather than turning a child loose with it, but that just means the adult gets to enjoy the book, too! I highly recommend it, and will happily add it to my collection of engineered books. There have been a flurry of additional wonderful pop-up books this year in which others ...             Predators of the Sea (Undersea Encounters)2 reviews Mary Jo Rhodes, David Hall Children's Press (CT), 2006 The Perfect Book for the Little Adventurer Predators of the Sea (Undersea Encounters) As an avid diver I purchased this book for my 8 year old and the moment he opened the cover he became fully engaged and read it from front to back several times. The book is well written and easy to understand and the photographs are absolutely remarkable. There is even a glossary at the end of the book that children can use to look up words and their ...             Land Predators of North America (Animals in Order (Econoclad))1 review Erin Pembrey Topeka Bindery, 2001 a standout volume in an excellent series I have bought most of this series for my nephew, and everytime i give him a new volume, he gets excited. It's really amazing to see the little guy get so enthused about something other than pokeman or nintendo. I found this volume in the series particularly good, it's written in a way that apeals to a child's natural curiosity. The book is educational, while being lighthearted.             Fierce Creatures (Eye View)1 review Helen Orme Peter Bedrick, 2003 Fierce Creatures! I'm quite impressed with what I have seen of the Eye View series. Fierce Creatures looks at grizzly bears, lions, cheetahs, orcas, great white sharks, wolves, hippopotamuses, golden eagles, and crocodiles. The introduction asks questions like, "What special hunting skills do fierce creatures have?" and "Do they hunt alone or in groups?" Words in the seventeen-word glossary are in bold in the ...             Bugs, Bugs, Bugs1 review Mary Reid Bt Bound, 1999 This is an excellent book for beginning readers!!! This author touched my soul. She brought alliteration to a level never before seen in Western Literature. The book represents brilliance in its simplicity. In short, it is a classic and I look forward to the sequel.             Predator Calling With Gerry Blair Gerry Blair Krause Publications, 2007 Read the book today, and kill coyotes tomorrow. The promise may seem a bit far-fetched, but using Gerry Blair's proven techniques, the reality of successful predator hunting is closer than it appears. As one of the fastest growing and most popular segments of the hunting industry, people from all walks of life are looking to rid their property of predators, and are looking for details about new rifle calibers, shotgun ammunition, new ...             Everybody's Somebody's Lunch (Teacher's Guide): The Role of Predator and Prey in Nature1 review Cherie Mason, Judy Kellogg Markowsky Tilbury House Publishers, 1998 Highly informative book filled with engaging activities As an elementary school teacher, I was thrilled to discover this unique book, filled with child-tested activities that would enhance any nature/science curriculum. These activities, which focus on the vital role predators play in nature, are multisensory (one of my favorites is making paper wings that approximate the wingspan of a bird of prey) and cross-disciplinary (using math skills to ...              search for books commitments, confessions, creatures, credible, dinosaurs, ecological, econoclad, encounters, encyclopedia, everybody, kickback, madness, mega-beasts, mortgage, nightmare, operation, picture, predator, predators, predatory, prehistorica, readers, revolutionary, salesman, somebody, technology, undersea, unmasking, vanishing, wreckage books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
