Greenbelt : A Nostalgic Return to a Texas Childhood

James H. Man

lively, genuine, and entirely too short
Here we have Jim Man's portrait of a summerful of visits to a lake house in north Texas of 1972 (age 12). The outstanding quality of Man's writing is its credibility: on a topic almost hand-crafted as a foundation for tall tales, I'm darned if I don't believe just about everything he says. I too grew up in the 1970s in the West, and we did in fact use to shoot at one another with BB guns, dig ...

Moving on nicely!
Just got my copy which I preordered months ago from Amazon.com and found this volume a very interesting read. Why? Because this is the first volume of Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles that I've read where I have seen the story accur in the anime first. With all the others, the manga was my first look at many of the worlds and while the first half of the Outo arc I had read in the manga, the second ...

I love this book! I have just started venturing out but so far it has now steared me wrong. Good directions and maps. Very happy with the detail.

Honest, In Depth and Heartbreaking.
I've long been very familiar with the 1st Marine Division's history at the Chosin, but until I read Roy Appleman's book I didn't realize just how much I didn't know about the Army's side of the conflict. This tale of desperation and bravery should be required reading amongst all American service personnel and perhaps even in High Schools. Excellently written, this book holds your attention ...

A Goldmine of a Book
One of the few true "must read" books in the field. Mr. Dake's book is unique -- reading it is like working side-by-side with an exceptionally intelligent, erudite, experienced engineer. Despite the author's wry conversational style, this is not a light volume that can be absorbed by speed-reading. The author is sharing decades worth of real-world experience, and it merits close study. For ...

Tsubasa CHRoNiCLE takes off...
Clamp's cross-over chaos manga takes off in this fourth installment, and reaches new heights of excellence. After bogging down in the Hanshin Republic and an alternate Korea, our heroes reach a world strangely reminiscent of late 18th-century Europe. They find a village where a dead princess is said to be stealing children, and things get a lot more interesting. The fourth volume of Tsubasa ...

Nuts and Bolts on Water Engineering
This was my textbook for Water Resources during Engineering School in the Spring of 1985. I have the Third Edition. It is well worn, underlined, highlighted and annotated, evidence of a very useful book! At my current position as Water Engineer at an Air Force Base, it is at the top of my shelf with my most used refernces. The right mix of theory and application. You will need a basic knowledge ...

The Best Yet!
While I found the last volume to be rather bland, I can now see that it was purely setup for this kickarse volume that has got to be one of the best in the series yet! This arc completely breaks the cycle of the gang going to another world, find a feather and move on and brings up several questions, answers and clues about the series mysteries that I didn't know even existed. For example we find ...

Brilliant.
Richard Hugo, The Lady in Kicking Horse Reservoir Two decades after Hugo's early death, he's finally starting to get the recognition he deserves as one of the twentieth century's masters of poetry. His output was sparse, starting relatively late in his life and covering less than a half-dozen books of poetry, along with a few other prose books. But what little there was was some of the best ...

A mother's love
In xxxHOLIc volume 9, Yuko warned Watanuki to brace himself for very bad news regarding the Tsubasa gang. This is where we find out what that bad news is in the darkest, most powerful volume of Tsubasa so far. First off, we find out the answer to the question of why AU Kamui is protecting the reservoir so fiercely (yes, it does involve a certain beloved CLAMP character who's been conspicuous ...

Amazing Grace
This book was a lot of fun. Not since M.A.S.H. have I heard stories of the Korean War told in a way that the troops would have remembered it. I especially enjoyed the references to Chesty Puller. Even though the author gives us the chance to guess on it's authentisity, you know these tales must be true. The poem, "From the Beach to the Reservoir" is the cause for my review's title. This ...

Tsubasa
This book is amazing. I am a huge Tsubasa fan, having read the whole series so far and this volume did not disappoint. I love the way things from each character's past and experiences start to tie in together. I highly recommend this book. If you are new to the world of manga, this series is an excellant place to start.

Extraordinarily moving account of decline and resistance
I had to look for a long time for a copy of this novel when I wanted to read it last year; it's fantastic that it's been brought back into print in the US and abroad. The success of McG's recent novels Amongst Women and By the Lake/That They May Face the Rising Sun casts a soft light upon his earlier fiction from the 1960s, but this novel is no romantic landscape. In the bogs of west-central ...

SOMEDAY You should really read this book
I picked this book up at the library one day when I didn't have much time for browsing around. I saw that it had an audio version and knew that typically only the better books get made into audio. Since I had a long car ride coming up, I grabbed the audio book and checked it out. It is WONDERFUL. I can't believe I've never heard of the author or the book before. The characters -- daughter, ...

engaging
This little gem of a book captures a bygone time and unfamiliar place in a sensitive and romantic manner. The people are quite recognizable, from the prinicpal characters to the smallest bit player- they all ring true. Ed Chalom is a valuable counterweight to the ugly American of tourist and military fame. He embraces the language, customs and people of a strange land and revisits them many ...
