His ability to convey to the common man how "Things worked" has never been surpassed. Simply put... He had his own way of sharing this knowledge, that will never be surpassed by anyone.... His imprint is here in this "COSMOS"... and there isn't any more definitive book or other wise that is available to the ...             The Transall Saga118 reviews Gary Paulsen Demco Media, 1999 Excellent book, regaurdless of age I first read "The Transall Saga" in roughly sixth or seventh grade after reading "The Hatchet". I absolutely loved it, although the ending left me infuriated (in a way that left me begging for more). I ended up reading it many more times after that, then lending it to everyone I knew who liked that style of writing. Eventually I lent it out and it was never returned. Years later, as a high school ...             Seabiscuit: An American Legend647 reviews Laura Hillenbrand Ballantine Books, 2002 The Book Bolts Out Of The Gate & Never Slows Down My interest in horse racing was right up there with watching paint dry. The movie Seabiscuit was very well done and I purchased the paperback in conjunction with the theatrical release of the movie as well as the gushy reviews Ms. Hillengrand's book had received. And then there it sat... gathering dust on my bookshelf for nearly six years. Don't be an idiot like me and rush out to get this ...             A Time for Dancing184 reviews Davida Wills Hurwin Puffin, 1997 nothing like a good book well any book that makes me cry I consider to be pretty good, and this book had me crying. It's a sad story, but it's beautifully written.             The Civil War: A Narrative : Fredericksburg to Stelle Bayou: 5 (Shelby Foote, th147 reviews Shelby Foote Time Life Education, 1999 A passion renewed Forty years ago I read Bruce Catton's Army of the Potomac trilogy, and that opened the floodgates. Within a few years I also read his two biographies of Grant that completed a trilogy beginning with Grant's early years by another author. Catton picked up where the author of "Captain Sam Grant" left off (the author, whose name I can't recall, died). "Grant Moves South" ranks with "A Stillness At ...             Time Enough for Drums133 reviews Ann Rinaldi Demco Media, 1988 Great Book This is the best of all Ann Rinaldis books (I have read all of them). This book has the most interesting characters and a great plot. Everyone will enjoy Jem and her tutor and what happens between them. I have read this book probably 15 times and never get tired of it. The hints of romance and interest to this book. It teaches you about history without making you ever feel like you were in ...             Time for Bed151 reviews Fox Houghton Mifflin Harcourt P, 1999 Best Bedtime Story Ever! We checked this book out from the library and then we just had to have it. My daughter (1 year old) loves this book so much she kisses every page and brings it to us to read all the time. The illustrations of the mama and baby animals are beautiful. The language is soothing and has a nice rhythm and rhyme to it perfect for little kids. Each page has one sentence so their attention doesn't ...             A Man on the Moon (A Man on the Moon, Volume 1-3)123 reviews Andrew Chaikin Time-Life Books, 1999 Nearly flawless When reviewing on Amazon, I routinely notice that "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Translated, I mean if a book has been reviewed 100 times there is usually a nice spread of 5 star to 1 star reviews with the spread usually leaning toward the 4 and 5 star reviews because readers are, by nature, apt to give a good review to something they've invested a month or two of their life in. With ...             Redeeming Love660 reviews Francine Rivers Multnomah Books, 1997 Well Written with Great Spiritual Truths I would recommend this book to anyone. This is the second book that I have read of Ms. Rivers. In each book I have seen how she uses her gift of writing to be able to share bible truths. Redeeming Love has given me a much better appreciation for how tender our Lord's heart is for his children and no matter how much we rebell, and perhaps even prostitute ourselves to the things of this world, ...             The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian: The Original Adventures of the Greatest Sword and Sorcery Hero of All Time!105 reviews Robert E. Howard Del Rey, 2003 OB - Original Barbarian I don't know why it never occurred to me to read the Conan books. I'm glad I finally did. Robert E. Howard does some great writing. Although the movies cherry picked a few of his concepts, you don't really know Conan if you haven't read these stories. I picked up the three books in this 'series' and loved em all. I say 'series' because it's really just a collection of disjointed short ...             The Well-Fed Self-Publisher: How to Turn One Book into a Full-Time Living85 reviews Peter Bowerman Fanove Publishing, 2006 Robert Medak - A step-by-step guide to self publishing Given the state of today's publishing industry, and the number of books being published yearly, have you considered self-publishing as an alternative to the mainstream publishers? While there are many self-published books in today's market, the problem with many is the poor quality of the writing (lack of editing) and physical design (especially book covers). In this comprehensive book, Peter ...             The Glory of Their Times79 reviews Fred Snodgrass, Sam Crawford, ... Highbridge Audio, 1998 Oh, How They Played the Game! "The Glory of their Times" is a book of personality, a book of passion, in which 22 baseball players of the 1890s to the 1930s tell their stories. Originally taped by Lawrence Ritter in the 1960s, these oral remembrances are now very valuable. There are no longer any live witnesses of the earlier times. The later times are fast escaping conscious memory, setting aside the contribution of Paul ...             The STARLIGHT CRYSTAL68 reviews Christopher Pike Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 1996 Excellent Story That You'll Remember I read this book a good decade ago, and the story has stuck with me since. I've never forgotten it, but until now never really remembered to buy it, either. Now I've got my own copy again, and after reading through it I can feel how some of the writing is more...immature than I remember, it's still one of those stories that you'll never quite forget. It has an immense feeling of...time and of ...             The Time Keeper99 reviews Kevin E. Cropp Copper Press, 2005 Moving, Sentimental and Special First Book I rarely read the work of lesser known authors, but this one came recommended by a friend. The Time Keeper was a quick read and impossible to put down, a perfect book to have when travelling. The relationships between Corey and his friends, his coach, his father and most importantly his mother, aren't always comfortable, but they are REAL. Everyone's human experience is different, but I was glad ...             The Door Within: The Door Within Trilogy - Book One93 reviews Wayne Thomas Batson Thomas Nelson, 2005 A thrilling Adventure LOVE IT !! With a great characters you have to LOVE this book! It's a great book that you will not be able to put it down! Wayne Thomas Batson does a great job with balance of humor and excitement. I have read this book three times and can't what to read it again.             How to Brew: Everything You Need To Know To Brew Beer Right The First Time96 reviews John J. Palmer Brewers Publications, 2006 WOW, I learned so much from this book This book is a must for new homebrewers, or people that want to brew better beer in general. I have done about 10 batches of Extract and am moving to all grain. I wish I would have read this prior to brewing those 10, becasue I had a couple of batches that I would have been able to not throw out, if I would have read this book first. Also got this as a father's day present along with a kegging ...             Black Holes and Time Warps: Einstein's Outrageous Legacy89 reviews Kip S. Thorne W. W. Norton, New York, 1994 A deeply human and riveting account of how physics predicted and described one of the universe's deepest secrets. I thought I was pretty much done with the theory of black holes. I have read dozens of articles and books on the subject - so I wasn't expecting much extra from Kip Thorne's "Black Holes & Time Warps". But this book blew me away with its deep theoretical detail; human insight; and rich historical content. Thorne doesn't just want to tell you about the weird mindblowing theories of what black ...             Anne Frank and Me81 reviews Cherie Bennett, Jeff Gottesfeld Putnam Juvenile, 2001 AWESOME BOOK! Anne Frank and Me was an exceptional book and I enjoyed it very much. I can't imagine how anyone wouldn't love following Nicole through her journey starting in the 90's and ending up in year of 1942. I've read it twice and I know I'll set it down for a few months, then read it again! I recommend this to anyone with a heart! Enjoy Anne Frank and Me. Stephanie A.
