This is an excellent addition to anyone's book collection - not only do you receive Annie Proulx's wonderful story, but you can experience Larry McMurtry's and Diana Ossana's sweet, lilting and poignant screenplay. Ennis and Jack jump off the page, fictional characters who have somehow become real, as we are transported with them through the most beautiful twenty years of their star-crossed ...             Change Me into Zeus's Daughter55 reviews Barbara Robinette Moss Scribner, 2000 Find Joy In the Most Desparate of Situations Change Me Into Zeus's Daughter is a powerful and poignant story of impoverished life as experienced by Barbara Moss. Surrounded by poverty, alcoholism, abuse, malnutrition and facial deformities, Moss could easily have allowed herself to be trapped in that negative world. Instead, through determination and the kindness of a few strangers along the way, she rose above adversity and has been ...             A Primate's Memoir67 reviews Robert M. Sapolsky Scribner, 2001 An All Time Favorite This book is hard to classify: Is it autobiography? Primatolgy? Travel adventures? Humanist philosophy? Humor? Basically it is all of these and more. It is a real page turner. Sapolsky has a truly marvelous sense of humor that includes knowing how to laugh at himself. I rank it with in the top 10 favorite books I've ever read. Bravo!             From here to eternity59 reviews James Jones Scribner, 1951 It gradually earned my affection... From Here to Eternity is a singular reading experience: gritty, raucous, desperate, raw and, yet, ultimately sublime. James Jones fields a superb cast of characters with which relatively few novels can compete. More than once, it reminded me of Catch 22 (without the intended absurdity) - Pianosa set down in a peaceful Hawaii just prior to Pearl Harbor. Distractingly, there are times when ...             Baby Catcher125 reviews Scribner, 2004 Moving and Informative I've read several births on midwifery and Peggy Vincent's is by far one of the most readable in terms of reaching a broad audience. If you reach for a midwifery book, in general you are pregnant and considering it as a birth option or interested in midwifery itself. There aren't a lot of general interest readers but Vincent's book is in a position to change it. It is both a memoir of a powerful ...             Manchild in the Promised Land56 reviews Kenneth T. Brown Scribner, 1965 Manchild In the Promised Land I was able to find this book relatively easy, based on a few keywords. My boyfriend started reading it several years ago and was unable to complete it. The storyline stuck in his memory and I bought it as a surprise for him, because over the years he mentioned it occasionally. Thanks for making the lookup so easy!             On Food and Cooking164 reviews Harold McGee Scribner, 1997 A True Classic Not available in bookshops here, it took me a while to track down this much praised book, now in a 2004 updated edition. It can be read at many levels: history, folk lore, chemistry and just marvellous explanations of the 'why' of cooking. It must hold great appeal for anyone with a curiosity about the food we eat and what we do to it, for better or worse. I found it well written with an easy ...             Nicholas & Alexandra105 reviews Robert K. Massie Scribner, 1972 best book on royal couple nicholas and alexandra should never had become czar and crazina of russia.nicholas was just to weak spirit and alexandra to strong without know the real russia people.she saw russian as childern who needed to be told how to run their lives by the papa czar.she hide her son illness and brought in a sexual twisted man of god into her family,ruin the romanov's relationship with it's people.stopping ...             The Resurrectionists39 reviews Scribner, 2004 "I got vision and the rest of the world wears bifocals." Frank Cassidy lives on the fringes of society in a succession of demeaning jobs, a wife with an ex-husband on death row in Georgia, an angst-riddled stepson waiting for his father to be executed and an innocent pre-schooler, obsessed with his toy dinosaurs. Frank's edge-of-desperation lifestyle can be traced back to his childhood, his father and mother killed in a fire that erupted on the family ...             On Grief and Grieving32 reviews Scribner, 2005 On Grief and Grieving "Grief is the intense emotional response to the pain of a loss. It is the reflection of a connection that has been broken. Most important, grief is an emotional, spiritual, and psychological journey to healing." pg. 227 This book has been a tremendous help to me. I lost my husband, my best friend 7 months ago. I am not the kind of person who opens up to my close friends and family much less a ...             Cooking for Madam: Recipes and Reminiscences from the Home of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis28 reviews Marta Sgubin Scribner, 1998 Great recipes & a rare glimpse into private family Marta was with Jackie and the children for more than 20 years (I believe she is now working for Caroline and her family). Her recipes are very fresh, healthy, and sophisticated. Yet they are relatively simple and straightforward. The memories she shares with us, along with family photographs, provide a glimpse into the life of this very private family, and show happy times, like birthday parties ...             Halfway Home26 reviews Scribner, 2004 A Must Read...Motivational and Inspirational Firstly this review is not intended in any way to be objective. I love the man who is Ronan Tynan, I love his voice and all that he has contributed to the world. Halfway Home is the story of a man who is passionate, driven, inspired and someone who refuses to beaten down in any way. He is a Maverick, who in this side-splittingly funny book, outlines just some of the things that he has done in his ...             The Last Great Dance on Earth26 reviews Scribner, 2004 Well Done Sandra Gulland--An Outstanding Conclusion!!! I can't express how much I loved this wonderful novel. The most accurate adjective I can think of would be 'interesting'. This book was soooo interesting. Gulland's attention to detail is absolutely meticulous. She used over 400 sources in the writing of this trilogy. I learned so much--not only about Napoleon and Josephine, but also of other historical figures of that time. I also found ...             Heart of the Beast33 reviews Scribner, 2004 A Great Novel! HEART OF THE BEAST by Joyce Weatherford HEART OF THE BEAST is the debut novel by Joyce Weatherford, which tells the tale of a family that has farmed and ranched for many generations in eastern Oregon. Their history ties them to the Nez Perce Indians, who now claim that the land, known as Heart of the Beast, belongs to them, and they plan on fighting for it until they get their land back. Iris ...             The Herbfarm Cookbook32 reviews Jerry Traunfeld Scribner, 2000 Wonderful! One of the best cookbooks I've purchased all year! A wealth of information--from growing and caring for your own herbs, to harvesting, storage and usage. There's even a section dedicated to edible flowers and a list of herbs used in desserts. The recipes are fool proof and delicious! My only wish is there were more photos, but that's not enough for me to knock off a star!             Breaking Trail33 reviews Scribner, 2005 Simply A Great Book About a Fascinating Life This book became an instant favorite--Arlene Blum's story is amazing. I don't usually like autobiographies, and I'm not a mountain climber, but this book had me hooked from the first few pages. Somehow, the author has managed to weave elements of her childhood, her career in science, rememberances of her family, and her love of mountainclimbing into a coherent and engaging story. I was ...             War Letters: Extraordinary Correspondence from American Wars36 reviews Andrew Carroll Scribner, 2001 An incredibly profound book! This book is a great read. It is refeshing to be able to read words, thoughts and dreams from people as they perform such honorable duty overseas. This book is powerful and should be required reading for all, especially Americans. Some anti-war activist may think it is "pro-war" but it isn't just that. This book reveals personal thoughts and challenges faced by American military personnel in ...              search for books alexandra, american, breaking, brokeback, catcher, change, cookbook, cooking, correspondence, daughter, earth, eternity, extraordinary, grieving, halfway, herbfarm, jacqueline, kennedy, letters, manchild, memoir, mountain, nicholas, onassis, primate, promised, recipes, reminiscences, resurrectionists, screenplay books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
