Good basics.......1999-12-09
Her alphabets tend to be on the looser, more casual side, almost humorous. Many of them reminded me of lettering for signage. But taking cues from her helped me to make my own style a little less uptight.
The section on projects is good for showing the creative process, especially for showing that you don't have to get it perfect the first time.

Excellent Story-Well Worth Reading It!.......2004-04-03
From birth Cary Gaul was rushed to a children's hospital where he was operated on several times for problems related to spina bifida. Doctors believed he would not walk at all, but as time went along, Cary proved them all wrong. With the help of braces and walkers, along with a strong will, he was able to gradually take more steps.
His dad also wrote of learning disabilites of these children, but Cary, though slow to learn in some ways, overcame many obstacles, and progressed more rapidly with the loving help of his parents and teachers.
Any parent with a disabled child would enjoy this book very much. It offers hope and envouragement.

Great Commanders and Their Battles
Anthony Livesey Manufacturer: Book Sales ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0785816682 |
Customer Reviews:
Thirsty.......2006-01-01
Great Commanders is a Great Book.......2003-08-01
The book offers a lot of information on the commanders and a lot of extra info about thier tactics and the events of thier best known battles.For each commander there is a timeline of the events of thier lives/carears, some decent and compelling biographical information, details on thier tactics, forces and champagnes as well as the impact the commander had in his world and thier place in history. Alexander's section for example spans 12 pages and does a great job illustrating his revolutionary tactics.
Some questions remain however. I wish they would have covered more than one battle per commander, and some of the information may be a bit subjective, but you really cant escape that in a book like this. I do however wonder about the choice of commanders covered. While you will find many of the most memorable names in military history, from a variety of time periods (Napoleon, Alexander the Great, Ghengis Khan, Scipio Africanus, Irwin Rommel, Robert E. Lee, Fredrick The Great, Wellington, and even Douglas Maccarthur) some exceptions are curious - for example, some of those not covered that you would think would be present include - William the conquerer, Hannibal, Patton, Zhukov, Julius Caesar, Atilla the Hun and Montgomery just to name a few.
All in all this is still a great book for the price and makes a great addition to any classroom library or any history buff's collection.
Great Commanders very well done.......2000-09-20

From Slumber to Awakening
Caspi Mishael M. , Mishael Maswari Maswari , and Jerome David Weltsch Manufacturer: University Press of America ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0761811931 |
Book Description
From Slumber to Awakening argues that when investigating the cultural and historical predicament of segments of any society a close examination of the literal expression of the people is necessary to understand their human condition better. To accomplish this, the individual psyches of authors and poets must be delved into, and in this case was accessed through personal interviews. This study approaches the unique social position of the Arab Israelis through an exploration of culture and history. The examination of the literature itself begins with Israeli literature from the broad perspectives of both the prose and poetry forms and then moving into the literature and literati themselves one by one exploring the lives of the writers while superimposing their human experiences with the expressions and stories of their creative works. This examination, along with the interviews, defines the Arab Israeli minority as a group while also comparing them to Jewish Israeli writers who are close to the Arab Israeli situation.
