MAIL-ORDER BRIDE - Debbie Macomber

Caroline Myers had been eighteen when she'd discovered how potent her great-grandfather's recipe for "tea"' was. So, when her two maiden aunts suggested a vacation to Alaska, Caroline was certain they'd overindulged in the family brew. Why go now -- especially after she'd just been jilted by her erstwhile fiance? But Caroline didn't know that her well-meaning relatives had cooked up a scheme -- they'd decided that becoming a mail-order bride for rugged Alaskan Paul Trevor would be perfect for Caroline. And, after gazing into Paul's dark eyes, Caroline had to agree... and wonder if she'd just found a more potent elixir than Grandfather's tea could ever be.

Holding Out for Hero: Through Texan Men magazine, wealthy entrepreneur Tanner Jones found the prefect Texas woman-beautiful Dori Mae Fitzpatrick. But because he wanted to be loved for himself, not his money, Tanner neglected to mention the fact that he was filthy rich. Little did he guess that Dori was keeping a few secrets of her own...

Mail-Order Bridegroom Faced with bankruptcy, Leah Hampton needed a husband-fast. But despite her advertisement, her only candidate was Hunter Pryde. Their marriage would be a business arrangement-nothing more. Not that Hunter would want anything else-he'd made that clear eight years ago. And Leah was too smart to fall for the same trick twice, wasn't she?

I thorougly enjoyed "Mail Order Bride," though the premise was contrived.The protagonist, Greg Merrifield's wife, Charlotte died, leaving Greg with twin babies to raise. Before dying, Charlotte made Greg promise to find a mother for the twins. Okay, that's believable. At the urging of his best friend, Elton, Greg ran an ad for a mother and wife. For my money, that was a bit much. But Jane a beautiful model who was fired for being too old (33) responded to the ad. The reader is made to feel the love between Greg and Jane, though Greg won't admit to himself or to Jane that he loves her. What I found incredulous and forced was that a hunk like Greg would advertise for a wife. Why not date, until Miss Right materializes? Once, you get beyond the premise, you'll find "MOB" a complete delight. The dialogue is lively; the pace, brisk. The story will evoke many a smile. The book had only one sex scene, which suited me fine. I'm not a prude. Far from it. But I prefer story and dialogue and character development to sex. But the sentence that preceded the moment of intimacy is so incredibly sensual. It will defnitely make you conjure an image, and if it doesn't give you a little spark, baby, you're dead! For a dash of light-hearted romance, I highly recommend this book.

Head does a wonderful job of preserving the stories of saint's in the early church. The writings he's chosen to include provide the reader with a good example of what was important during that age. Most stories are typological of Christ, they include instances of the humble piety and miraculous deeds performed by each. Specific dates, locations, events aren't the focus, rather it acts as a mirror to show the reader what was important to the Church during that time period. Also, it clearly shows what the saint's saw reflected from their lives. I'd highly recommend this work for anyone looking to delve into the subject of Hagiography.

Nature and the Idea of a Man Made World describes the origins of a built environment and its relatonship with nature. Norman Crowe explains how our early ancestors used nature as a precedent in creating the earliest forms of architecture. As technology evolved over the centuries, architecture and urban planning lost the relationship with nature that allowed it to exist. Crowe gives concise examples of how people experience their environment and the buildings around them that that offers valuable lessons to an everyday reader or a professional architect. The text itself is not overburdened with technical terms, and the many illustrations help prove crucial points. The final product is an easy reading, informative, and enjoyable book explaining our place in the world.

Carlo does a great job of condensing a large subject into a conscise version of who and what has controlled our world for the last two hundred years. Carlo's paper comes with good notes and references and stays focused throughout.

A decade ago the term 'New World Order' was a commonly-used expression. Now - at the beginning of the twenty-first century - the contours of this order are less clear. How can this international order be described and interpreted and how can it be explained from contrasting theoretical viewpoints? Ten scholars in international politics, many of them experts in the field, offer penetrating contributions to provide a survey of the ongoing debate surrounding the new world order.

This is the second out of four books which cover the Allied landings in Normandy. One of the best things about this book is that it discribes the landing by unit. The book starts with a brief discription of the entire operation. It then goes on with the divisional history and battle of order of the involved divisions and units. It continues with discribing the operation. Each unit involved is handled seperately. Both the Canadian 3rd Division as the British 50th (Northumbrian)Infantry Division are covered in this book.

Not a brilliant book but is gives you an idea how the involved units were participating in the operations.

The complete history is told very briefly but it gives you a good indication of what happened. The stories are supported by photographs and maps. A very compact book.

Not much is written about the British divisions which landed in Normandy. This is the first out of 5 books which cover the Allied landings in Normandy. One of the best things about this book is that it discribes the landing by unit. The book starts with a brief discription of the entire operation. It then goes on with the divisional history and battle of order of the involved divisions and units. It continues with discribing the operation. Each unit involved is handled seperately. Besides the wellknown units like the 3rd Infantry Division and the 6th Airborne Division, the book also covers both Special Service Brigades, the armoured divisions and the follow up units.

Like the other issues not a brilliant book but it gives you an idea how the involved units were participating in the operations.
