Could you if imagine engineers pursued their craft in the same manner of EP-Geeks? What the lab and the calculations say mean nothing to engineers. Engineers test and re-test everything in the field. Ever hear of a mechanical engineer telling a Formula I driver how to drive? A aeronautical engineer telling a pilot how to fly? Hell no. That's because they know their place in the grand scheme of things. Would you ever buy a Jim Beams Flying Formula book written by an engineer. Get outta here!

With that said, I've noticed that a lot of you guys read a lot of running books. That's fine. take em for what there worth. I have never heard of any of you reading any books on the psychology of running. What gives? Any of you ever read 'The Breakthrough Factor' by Henry Marsh? I didn't think so. Why not? Henry Marsh is by far the best American steeplechaser. Not by a little, by ThAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT much! Here's a guy with NO TALENT and NO WORK ETHIC and you don't want to know what he knows?

"Psssssst, over here kid, running's all upstairs."

Love, Forgiveness, Kindness, Generosity, Patience, Gratefulness, Responsibility, Hard work, Honesty, Bravery, Faithfulness, Joyfulness all take center stage on beautifully illustrated pages.

I especially enjoyed reading the page on "Love." It reads:

"Love means caring so much for other people that it shows in the way you treat them. Love is more than a warm feeling; it is acting unselfishly for another's good." -A Child's Book of Values

Statements like: "Forgiveness has no limit," and "Some things take time and can't be rushed," truly make this a practical guide for children. These values will last a lifetime and will not only benefit your child; they will be a gift to everyone who knows them.

Lesley Wright has worked all over the world, but it is her discovery of her Christian faith that has been the most meaningful to her. Lesley wanted to help her own children experience the joys of Christian life. She is also the author of Bible Food Fun and A Child's Book of Prayers.

There is a large section which covers dinnerware, with over 25 different manufacturers, including a nice section showing various backstamps. He includes a bilbliography, value guide (which may not reflect current online auctions prices), and a short history of plastic as it was introduced to America. My only quibble with this book is that I wish the photos were a little better lit, they are a little dark in some sections. But all in all, a valuable reference.
