Lets you travel into the past where many things were previously left unexplained. Leaves you grateful that you have never suffered the losses this family did.

This book, which sounds more like fact than fiction, is an inspiring story of the human spirit which can endure so much.

I'd like to see this book be made into a movie!!!

This is a wonderful, and short version of the Love and Logic approach. This little book is great to reread when you need to refocus on things. I would highly recommend that anyone that is around children read this.

I was able to read this short book in one sitting. It kept my attention and used examples that were straight from my life. It gave me suggestions that I will be able to apply to my situation. Some of the scenarios were comical, but isn't life? I would highly recommend this book to anyone with children of all ages.

Famous 60's photographer (beau of Jean Shrimpton, Catherine Deneuve and Catherine Bailey) performs here an experiment that few are in a position to try and succeeds brilliantly. His current (and long term) wife, Catherine Bailey, was a sixties supermodel - before the term was invented - and is still a ravishing woman and she here reveals through her husband's eyes some aspects of being female. From stunning fashion shots, to shots with her children, to shots of her *having* children. This is a frank look at a beautiful woman and a touching tribute to someone who comes across as a fine partner and mother. Mystifyingly, the title implies to me something that I couldn't see in the book. No problem, just a puzzle. And you can ignore the text by Fay Weldon. Why did they put that in? I'm very lucky. I've got a copy signed by both Baileys. Christopher Stephens

I have not had the chance to explore the book itself, but I saw an excerpt in an issue of Penthouse Magizine. I have been unable to locate the book itself in stores. If you have any suggestions, let me know at emc@epm-inc.com

Fay Stanley's very worthy true story, "The Last Princess," is the tale of the life of Princess Ka'ilulani of Hawaii (or "Hawai'i" as it's more correctly spelled throughout the book). The book is illustrated by Fay Stanley's daughter, Diane Stanley, and this mother-daughter team has come up with a captivating and sad true story about a portion of history little of us know anything about.

Princess Ka'iulani was the niece of the king of Hawaii when she was born towards the coming of the 20th century. Great rejoicing attended her birth, as the king himself had no children. By all accounts, Ka'iulani was cheerful, beautiful, polite, kind, intelligent, and more than worthy of taking over the throne when the time came. Unfortunately, Americans intervened and little by little usurped the king's power. By the time Ka'iulani returned to the island after her schooling in England, the Hawaiian islands were an entirely different place--and not for the better.

Ka'iulani appealed to President Grover Cleveland's better nature and although he did his best to help her, upon leaving the White House after his presidency, Ka'iulani now had no American political friends. It was far more in America's interests to annex Hawaii to America than it was to help this charming, serious princess regain her rightful access to the Hawaiian throne.

This is a terrifically absorbing tale. Ka'iulani is presented beautifully by the illustrations, which show different aspects of her personality while always emphasizing her dignity and popularity among the Hawaiian people. The two Stanley ladies have taken a little-known subject and presented it to us with power and handsome decoration, and the end result is highly compelling.

Gives children a real look at the history of Hawaii. A beautiful, sad and true story. Would like to buy a bunch more and give to children for gifts.

I just read the LDS Grandparents' Idea Book by Fay Klingler. The many experiences that grandparents have with their grandchilden are very worthwhile. The activities were fun to try and do; some will be tried over and over. As I read this book, I felt that grandparents love their grandchildren. It is a book that can be read again and again and still get a new thought from reading it.

I had the greatest grandparents ever and my parents were wonderful grandparents to my children, but when I found out I was going to be a grandmother the same week I turned 50 I was at a loss! What should I do? How would I ever measure up to my own and my children's expectations? Would this be hard? Besides my married son, I still had children at home to finish raising and I was going to have a grandchild!
Fay A. Klingler's book, The LDS Grandparents' Idea Book, is a treasure trove of information and suggestions! It is a source of ideas that would take many years and many grandchildren to exhaust.
Ms. Klingler has compiled ideas from many sources and many people and come up with a "Grandparenting 101" manual. She uses graphics to illustrate many of the ideas that are so easy to copy or tailor and modify to individual needs.
One of my favorites is on page 80, "the paper sandwich," which illustrates and describes a charming, crafty, colored paper sandwich with Grandma and Grandpa as the bread and kisses, hugs, admiration, and smiles as the meat/cheese and fixin's. She suggests tucking a $5 bill inside, too. This is fun for a teen-ager or even college student as well as a young child.
On page 149 one of Ms. Klingler's contributors relates the story of geese flying in V-formation and how, "by flying in a "V" formation, the whole flock of geese adds at least 71% greater flying range than if each bird were to fly on its own." Then she relates that to families! It is a beautiful idea from a very caring grandparent.
Who knew there is a "I Want You to Be Happy Day" on March 3rd?
Ms. Klingler knows! In her section on Activities for a Specific Day or Month she lists a myriad of ideas for fun celebrations!
Even though the title suggests a limited audience of LDS or Mormon Church members, it is not a limiting list by any means.
Now 4 grandchildren later, I'm so glad I found Fay Klingler's Idea Book. It is 172 pages of ideas for being the best I can be during this absolutely wonderful stage of my life..."Grandma!"

There is a museum of clocks (the Bily Clocks) in the small town of Spillville, Iowa, located in the same house where Antonin Dvorak once worked on his New World Symphony. No one knows for sure why two Czechoslovakian brothers dedicated their lives building and carving these enormous wooden clocks. Two teenagers, Erika and Oz manage to go back in time to meet the people who lived at the time of the brothers to find the answer to their obsession. Lost In Spillville is a kind of historical science fiction where the story is told from the point of view of each character and presents the reader with fun, a sense of adventure, and a bit of insight into life. The first in a series of Erika & Oz "Adventures in American History", Lost In Spillville is based on extensive historical research and eyewitness accounts in order to remain true to history. The author Sam Drexler leaves his readers eagerly looking forward to the next title in his exciting, informative, and entertaining series.

The book Lost in Spillville is the greatest book. It takes your mind off anything and everything on your mind. It relates to familiar and unfamiliar characters of history in a fun way that makes the story exciting. The characters of the story are fun to read about and share their adventure with. This magical adventure was fun to read and absorb, and I am so excited to hear there are more to come.

The book shows, excellent projects, process and goals.
How MetaDesign resolves design problems, how they produce elegant solutions and clean comunication of the concepts.

Well of course I feel its excellent my grandfather wrote it and drew the pictures.

This book is a great starter book for young readers. My six year old son knows it cover to cover and still insists on reading it most every day.

The best portrait of Liszt I have ever read, as described by a young woman who studied with him in his later years. Though Liszt dominates this book, other characters from that era -- such as Tausig, one of the most talented pianists who ever lived, and whose life was tragically cut short at 30 -- also come alive. Amy Fay, a candid observor with a lucid prose style, brings to life a bygone era, when the old 19th-century ideals of European culture were in full flower, and music was perhaps the most beloved art form of all. All music-lovers should read this book.

Amy Fay was a young and determined American piano student whose quest for a concert career impelled her to travel to Germany, the center of European musical culture, in the 1870s. Miss Fay's delightful memoir of her years in Berlin and hamburg is illuminated by her charming and ingenuous personality and her passion for good music. Her tantalizingly brief period of study in the conservatory of Carl Tausig ended by the master's untimely death, she sought other teachers, and succeeded in obtaining an introduction to Franz Liszt. Her first-hand descriptions of the playing of Liszt, Clara Schumann, Joseph Joachim, Anton Rubinstein, the aging and eccentric Herr Wieck, and other figures of nineteenth-century music are a delight to read, as are also her sharp observations of German manners and Americans abroad.
