books by Viking Adult     books:       Alex: The Life of a Child67 reviews Frank Deford Viking Adult, 1983 Very personal for me I watched the excellent TV movie made of this book when I was around 8 and then read the book over and over, until it fell apart. It absolutely broke my heart. When I was in high school and I met my first husband, I found out that he had lost a stepbrother to cystic fibrosis, who made it to the age of 18 before he died. Years later, my first husband still had the things Scotty willed to him, a ...             Chickenhawk112 reviews Robert Mason Viking Adult, 1992 Still a classic!!! I first read this book 22 years ago and was amazed by the action in this book. I gave some serious thought to getting a helicopter pilot license, but life got in the way and that has not happened. I just came across the title recently and decided to buy it again. Wow, did I forget a lot in those 22 years. This book is an excellent read. The book tells the tale of Bob Mason and his military ...             Anticancer, A New Way of Life, New Edition188 reviews MD, PhD, David Servan-Schreiber Viking Adult, 2009 One of the most important books you can read I enjoy reading about health and nutrition, and I have slogged through a lot of scientific writing-- so I completely appreciate the superb job that Dr. Servan-Schreiber has done with this book. What struck me was the HEART that he shows in the writing. He clearly cares about this subject and about the people he can help with his message. I have never read a nutrition/health book before that moved ...             Dancing with Rose: Finding Life in the Land of Alzheimer's54 reviews Lauren Kessler Viking Adult, 2007 Unforgettable! A "Must-Read" "Dancing With Rose" ("Finding Life in the Land of Alzheimer's") was one of the most tender, poignant and moving stories I've ever encountered. On so many levels, it is memorable. I don't have any personal experience (yet) with Alzheimer's, but this book has prepared me to embrace it in a different way than I certainly would have. I applaud Lauren's courage to admit her fears and weaknesses ...             Out to Canaan (The Mitford Years, Book 4)104 reviews Jan Karon Viking Adult, 1997 Buck Leaper returns, Lace falls in love with Dooley, Ester loose mayor race, Barnabas hurt Dooley returns from school and steals Lace hat.

Phil Plait is a well-known Astronomer with a good deal of experience writing for popular audiences and it shows in this book. This is a well-written book that includes some of the latest scientific thought on the matters he discusses and it is presented not only with an appropriate ...             A Man on the Moon: The Voyages of the Apollo Astronauts130 reviews Andrew Chaikin Viking Adult, 1994 The BEST keepsake 3 book collection on Apollo and men on the moon The absolute best keepsake 3 book collection of the Apollo program and men on the moon.

It is a book of deep faith, abiding love for Christ, and how many women, with only those two characteristics in common, can actually live and work together. The idea that "we bring ourselves with us" to any organization is really food for thought. It is time to get another ...             Jan Karon's Mitford Cookbook and Kitchen Reader: Recipes from Mitford Cooks, Favorite Tales from Mitford Books78 reviews Jan Karon Viking Adult, 2004 Jan Karon's Mitford Cookbook and Kitchen Reader: Recipes from Mitford Cooks, Favorite Tales from Mitford Books This book is marvelous!

I can't remember buying it, but I'm so glad I did...it's my new 'desert island book'. To be read, re-read and savored every time. The subject is fascinating and the way the author weaves together the explorers journeys, various other personalities and the history of the day makes it seem like you were (almost) ...             Just Don't Fall: How I Grew Up, Conquered Illness, and Made It Down the Mountain31 reviews Josh Sundquist Viking Adult, 2010 Required reading? I would like to suggest this as required reading for high school students. I could see this as a book that they might pick up later in life and review only to be inspired all over again. Yes, there are gut wrenching moments in this book that might disturb some but here is a guy that went on with life no matter what was thrown his way. Several times I just wanted to be able to hug Josh as a ...             Motherland: A Daughter's Journey to Reclaim Her Past30 reviews Fern Schumer Chapman Viking Adult, 2000 Schools use Motherland To Teach About Moral Choices Edith Westerfield Schumer left Germany in 1938 as a twelve-year-old.

Edith never saw her parents ...             The Complete Book of Baking31 reviews Pillsbury Viking Adult, 1993 Great buy A great experience! Book is in brand new condition, was shipped immediately and in a professional booksellers shipping box!             One Two Three...31 reviews George Gamow Viking Adult, 1947 ~ 20 years ~ another personal experience with this book It is really a great thing to see that this book keeps available after so many years (this book was written way way before 1988 as noted here), and it's also a joy to see so many positive comments on the book. This book is a beautiful piece of art work on sciences. As said, if you want to have your children into the world of science, try this book, I myself am a testimony. My personal story ...             An Ordinary Man: An Autobiography44 reviews Paul Rusesabagina, Tom Zoellner Viking Adult, 2006 An important record of a very sad bit of recent human history Paul Rusesabagina, son of a Hutu and a Tutsi, is no ordinary man.

It is a very smooth read, one can tell she's very intelligent and well educated, yet medical jargon doesn't overwhelm the book. It is easy to read in one sitting, and also easy to come back to and pick up later. I haven't seen her style of writing before, it's excellent. On a personal note, the book gave me ...             I Don't Have to Make Everything All Better : Six Practical Principles to Empower Others to Solve Their Own ...32 reviews Gary Lundberg, Joy Lundberg Viking Adult, 1999 I Don't Have to Make Everything All Better by Gary B. Lundberg Great book, great authors. I started to say that every parent should have a copy of this book, but in reality EVERYONE needs a copy of this book. We all have those in our lives that think we need to fix things for them - when in reality they need to fix things themselves. This book arrived in great shape ahead of schedule.             The Devil in Music (Julian Kestrel Mystery)34 reviews Kate Ross Viking Adult, 1997 Thank you, Kate Ross Kate Ross left us far too early, but as the reviewer below stated, she did leave us with Julian Kestrel. And for that, we are grateful. What an amazing fourth book. Unlike the previous three in the series, this one does not take place in England, but in Italy. The ending was as surprising a twist as any twist I've read in recent memory. The plot is rich, the characters are colorful, the ...             Deep Blues: A Musical And Cultural History of the Mississippi Delta30 reviews Robert Palmer Viking Adult, 1981 Great Look at the Blues Music Scene As It Developed This is a history of the Mississippi Delta Blues music scene from roughly about 1920-1980.
