I loved this book because it provided a glance into lives of scrapbookers who are not the stereotypical "soccer mom" type of scrapbookers. It was truly a breath of fresh air to see scrapbooking pages from strippers, a woman in a rock band, tattoos, and a woman in a burlesque show. Another great thing about this book is that not only does it have a wide variety of scrappers showcased, but it ...             Professor Wormbog in Search for the Zipperump-A-Zoo19 reviews Mercer Mayer Golden Pr, 1976 Great Entertainment! This book is as much fun for the adult reading to the child as it is for the child. The artwork is incredible. The story line reminds us that the grass is NOT always greener on the otherside, that sometimes what you are seeking in life is right in your own back yard. I read this to my children 20 years ago, to friends children 10 years ago. Now I would love to read it to my grandaughter, ...             Imbibe!: From Absinthe Cocktail to Whiskey Smash, a Salute in Stories and Drinks to "Professor" Jerry Thomas, ...10 reviews David Wondrich Perigee Trade, 2007 "A cat can gaze upon a king..." "...and after a Dry Martini or a Sazerac Cocktail or two, we're all cats." This beautiful, marvelous book is the best book I've read this year. It is part biography, part history and part mixology. If you enjoy the odd cocktail or two, you owe a measure of thanks to Jerry Thomas, the "professor". In the latter half of the 19th century, Jerry (now that I feel like I know the man) perfected ...             The Professors' Wives' Club9 reviews Joanne Rendell NAL Trade, 2008 Friendship Garden This is the story of four women with a common goal--saving the garden adjacent to the university housing where they live from demolition by the evil, self-serving Dean Havemeyer. Three of the four meet for the first time in the garden, and their relationship/s become tied with an intriguing subplot about Edgar Allan Poe. I'd say this story is primarily character-driven and I found it hard to put ...             Professor Parrot Speaks Spanish: Learn Spanish With Songs, Dances, Games And Puppets (Sound Beginnings)9 reviews Sound Beginnings Sound Beginnings, 2003 Surprisingly Effective! Bought this for a 5 year old who has surprised us all with her yen to learn to languages. Spanish seems to be the one that intrigues her the most, so I thought we would work on it. After the first viewing of the film, she picked up on how to greet someone and her numbers. She would rather watch this DVD than Nemo, any of the Princesses or Curious George. Well worth the money!             The Wizard of "IS": The Short, Ugly Story of the Impeachment of Billy Jeff Clinton and His Trailer Park ...10 reviews Professor Jerry Mander J. Mander Press], 1999 Tounge-in-cheek Professor Jerry Mander's tounge-in-cheek 'review' of President Clinton's approach to President of The United States is an entertaining and enlightening view of today's politics. Very right-winged, the book is chock full of tidbits from the controversial Starr Report as well as pertinent stories, facts, and related conjecture. Not for the faint-of-heart or liberal minded or those others in ...             Rekindling Your Spirit: A Spiritual Journey Into Personal Change, Intimacy, and Sexuality10 reviews Pastor Paul F. Singh a Christian psychologist who has also been a guest lecturer for the nationwide "Meet the Expert" series at the Mayo Clinic and an adjunct professor in Biblical Counseling at Northwestern College. www.RekindlingYourSpirit.com Lantern Publishing, 2006 Freedom and Healing You will see yourself in these pages.

Paul Singh helps us get a clear view of what is at the core of the issues we face, and even more importantly, where and how to find the freedom and healing we all so deeply desire. Most of us need help for ...             Professor Angelicus Visits the Big Blue Ball9 reviews L.B.B. Ward MumbleFish Books, 2004 Wonderful Hope For Our kids' Futures Professor Angelicus brought my kids (and me) a surprisingly thorough environmental education and actual HOPE for the future - all within a fantastic adventure.

Completely recommended!             Professor Wormbog in Search for the Zipperump-a-Zoo9 reviews Gingham Dog Press, 2001 Wonderful, Charming Book! This was one of my favorite books when I was a child. As I got older, it was passed on to my sibilings, and when I worked with children, they all loved it. This book has it all: humor, adventure, great storytelling, and memorable characters. If you are looking for a whimsical, fun book that's good for the whole family, this is it. (If you're one of us, too, that's in your twenties and ...             Jake the Snake (Professor Hooper's Library)8 reviews Professor Hooper Professor Hooper Place, Limited, 1996 A school librarian whose students LOVE Jake I am a librarian in the Chicago public school system. My students absolutley LOVE Jake! They have gone through two copies in one year. I have ordered a large number of Jake books for the library system. The writing is clever, the pictures are cute, and the moral is welcome. I hope Prof. Hooper writes some more books, because he has a fan club in Chicago.             Geronimo Stilton Book 4: I'm Too Fond of My Fur (Unabridged)5 reviews Geronimo Stilton audible.com Great New Discovery I just bought this book for my son's 8th birthday. He's a fairly average reader so we're going through it together, and we both just love the story and characters, who are of varying ages and personalities. The book captures your attention right off with the common problem of being taken in by a TV commercial. We love the varying type styles, illustrations and fun descriptions. We just popped ...             Professors As Writers7 reviews Robert Boice New Forums Pr, 1990 Advice that really works Face it, all of us academics would like to think that someday a muse will descend upon us and infuse us with the capability to write the great work in our field without self-doubt, procrastination, etc. Boice shows empirical evidence that demonstrates these hopes are in vain (which is no big surprise to anyone), but even better, he provides the solution: writing is like physical exercise--the ...             California Cottage Style5 reviews Ann Zimmerman, Scot Zimmerman Sterling/Chapelle, 2003 Nine California Style Cottages Nine different California communities of well-loved cottages through photographs are accompanied by text to reflect a time, a place, and a need for shelter, as well as available building materials, traditions and collective memories of their builders and owners in this charming 144 page book.

First, it outlines the positions of the major schools and the sources and reasoning they use to arrive at those positions. Second, and more importantly, Ibn Rushd (Averroes to most of his European admirers) explains the divergence of views among the schools on the basis of the different ...             How We Think (New Edition)5 reviews John Dewey (Professor of Philosophy in C Book Jungle, 2007 Better the second time around. I had never heard of John Dewey until I took a philosophy class. When I first received the book, I read through it relatively fast. Much of the material went over my head. However, on the second reading it was as if the pages were illuminated. In this book, Mr. Dewey gives his opinion on how we humans learn. It takes every day simple actions, breakes them up into their smallest unit and ...             Getting the Best Out of College: A Professor, a Dean, & a Student Tell You How to Maximize Your Experience7 reviews Peter Feaver, Sue Wasiolek, ...
