McGraw-Hill Contemporary, 2001 fun and educational I Can Sing en Francais is fun and educational.

There's nothing better to read sports history than an oral history of the subject by the men who played, coached, and wrote the game. The AFL was a rogue league at the beginning of the most tumultuous decade of the 20th century, the 1960's, rosters filled of castoff's, has-beens, and never-was players from the NFL. Yet, in a short span of time, the teams from ...             Teach Yourself Portuguese: A Complete Course in Understanding Speaking and Writing (Teach Yourself Language ...9 reviews Manuela Cook McGraw-Hill/Contemporary, 2002 Absolutely super!

This is a course I strongly recommend.             Mischief Marketing: How the Rich, Famous, & Successful Really Got Their Careers and Businesses Going (and11 reviews Ray Simon McGraw-Hill/Contemporary, 2000 How you can get your career and business going like someone who is Rich, Famous and successful!

Zimmerman McGraw-Hill/Contemporary, 1996 Informative and fun to read I used this book for one of my classes and I was dreading having to read a book about biology and diseases. After reading the first chapter I got hooked, and couldn't set the book down. I read it in three days while I was out hiking in the woods and it made me a little paranoid about ticks that might be in the grass and other insects! The book definitely makes you think about every living ...             Lost Destiny (The Blood of Kerensky Saga, Vol 3)12 reviews Fanpro, Michael A.

The 1998 baseball season was truly one of the most magic in recenty years, thanks in part to the "home run battle" between Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa. This book chronicles their achievement which I suspect will grow to legendary tones in the years to come. The sportmanship between these two hereos was evident all season long, and the book reflects that. Perhaps it was fitting that McGwire should ...             Global Squeeze: The Coming Crisis for First-World Nations7 reviews Richard C. Longworth McGraw-Hill/Contemporary, 1999 Capital This is a very effective piece of economic reporting and must be one of the most acute pictures of 'capital in the raw' that I have read, a desmerizing tonic to the endless litany of neoliberal triumphalism. Neither Marxist, nor doctrinaire, it unwittingly scores a bullseye of indirect marxist analysis of the one-and-the-same process that is the invariant of the capitalist system. This isn't ...             Power Mom8 reviews MCGRAW-HILL SCHOOL McGraw-Hill Contemporary, 1985 A "must read" for everyone; a "must have" for enthusiasts! Tony Salin's collection of stories in "Baseball's Forgotten Heroes" is a reminder that baseball's charm is created by more than the superstars that the media cling to when trying to get the average fan's attention. As much as I enjoy reading about Williams or DiMaggio, Baseball's Forgotten Heroes is a fresh approach that I hope will set a standard for future volumes. Throughout history, ...             Good Cheap Food8 reviews Miriam Ungerer McGraw-Hill/Contemporary, 1990 Good Cheap Food I first picked up this book in the '70's when I was living "off the land" in Colorado.
