This book depicts the many hardships and sacrifices of early American western exploration from Stephen Long and his associates during their 1819-1820 expedition to the Rocky Mountains. Although heavily criticized at the time for not completely fullfilling their expectations, the overall information gathered was considerable. From geography, botany, zoology and geology, to Indian customs and cultures, their individual scientific publications speak for themselves. This is not a book about hostile Indian battles, numerous attacks by grizzlies, etc. which are somewhat expected of journals and narratives of this era. Rather, this is how these men described the various landforms, animals, plants and Native Americans that they encountered while suffering from thirst, hunger, fatigue, fever and climate. It is truly an engrossing book and the writing is very descriptive of how the American west was before westward expansion set in.

A great story for children, and it has a point. It will educate them on the history of the Cahokian Indians, as well as entertain them with the cute storyline Amy Fisher has created. Great Story.

This book is very entertaining! The dialoge is great and overall it is a wonderful story. The names used for the animals are very descriptive and humorous.

Young Sara is put in a predicament when she realizes she can communicate with the animals (Wollo Bushtail and others) and must be a laison between "human kind" and the "forest dwellers" to help solve a big problem.

I would recommend this book for pre-teens and older. I really, really enjoyed reading this story.

This book is a delight to all readers not only does it tell a wonderful tale about two men who are in love with the same woman. But it is much more it also gives the reader a little insight on the fasinating world of African folklore.

The Cross-sectional Atlas includes radiographic images of every possible cross section as well as a detailed illustrated pen & ink drawing of the same area for cross reference. These two images are together on the same page for easy reference, and the pictures are all of the highest quality-- easy to see. John Wiley & Sons has made a beautiful product. It really is a must for every radiologist or any physician who wants to be able to read MRIs and CTs on their own. (The book contains both MRI and CT image.)

Augusta E. Stetson, C.S.D., refutes the statement of Mr. Clifford P. Smith that she is not a Christian Scientist. Mrs. Stetson expounds "Genuine Christian Science as Promulgated by Mary Baker Eddy" (Cover title). Also includes: "Mary Baker Eddy's Demonstration" and "There Is No Death," both by Mrs. Stetson. Written in 1927, this is Augusta Stetson's final published statement. In all her volumes Mrs. Stetson explains the genuine practice of Christian Science. Perfect-bound booklet; illustrations and color portraits; 48 pages; reprint of the 1927 edition.

I have used this book for five or six years as a storyreader in schools all over the east coast. It is a story of freedom and justice, love and compassion and has sparked some marvelous discussions in 4th,5th and 6th grades. A warm story of an angry man who befriends a misused bear and sets him free and in that act frees himself of his own anger and mistrust. I love this book!!

This was such a good a great gift idea for my girlfriends- it was fun and real.

Mr. Food (also known as Art Ginsburg) is the guru of quick and easy-to-make culinary masterpieces. This sequel to The Best of Mr. Food contains 175(!) recipes that are easy for the cooking novice to make, are quick, and absolutely delicious. There are chapters on 1) appetizers and snacks, 2) dinner items, 3) lunch items (lighter than those in chapter 2, anyway), 4) side dishes, 5) soups and salads, 6) breads, 7) desserts, and 8) cookies. (These are not the real chapter titles, but my interpretations.)

These recipes are great. You don't need to be Paris trained to make these dishes; anyone can make them. Also, they are really wonderful. I made his Triple Chocolate Cake (p.163), which was so delicious that I had to take it to work just to keep from eating the whole thing! I recommend this book very highly indeed.

This adorable calendar is too cute! it would make the perfect gift for any dog-lover, and everyone just loves it. My 8 year old boy is a great fan of this calendar--so much so I had to get another one for him. The pictures are captivating, and the end result charming. Buy more than one!!
