Beautifully written, precious story with important lessons
I bought this book for my five-year-old niece, and she loves to have me read it to her whenever she comes to visit. The wonderfully told story about a blind girl's sleepover weekend gives parents and kids lots of important topics to talk about and explore, including not being afraid of the dark, and how everyone is special and capable in their own way, even if they have a physical disability such as blindness. With its beautiful illustrations and valuable life lessons, this book belongs in the library of every child.

Helps you master the basics essential to doing well.
I found this book to be an excellent purchase, and right after I completed it, my score went up from 660 to 790 on the math portion of the SAT. It drills you in the basics of math, such as fractions, ratios, and all of the important math rules until it gets you to a point where you don't have to think about the math basics--you can focus on the problem. If you intend to do well on the SAT math, then you're going to need what's in this book!

Fascinating and informative business book
Say It and Live It goes beyond mere words and offers cases studies about companies that have produced and used mission statements to further their own goals, produce more profits and beat the competition. The authors show in step by step fashion how your company can craft a mission statement that really works.

This is an excellent, readable book that delivers on what it promises.

The Definative Fictional Representation of the Horseplayer

This book is well written and is at its center a novel about the battles we all fight within ourselves. The protagonist fights his own self destructive influences as he searches for a path "with a heart."

Scars and Other Distinguishing Marks

Excellent!
An excellent collection of first-rate horror short stories. Matheson is a master of concise, nasty little tales; "little" being the operative word here; nearly all of the tales are no more than a few pages long. But boy, do they pack a punch! I owned a copy of this book some years back, but something bad happened to it, and I haven't been able to replace it since. A real shame, too, because this is one that can be read over and over with no diminished enjoyment. Would-be writers of short fiction can learn a lot from these works. R.C. Matheson is the son of Richard Matheson, another amazing writer of horror, sci fi , and fantasy, probably most known for his writing for "Twilight Zone", "Duel", and "Prey", which became the most memorable segment in "Trilogy of Terror", where the fiendish Zuni fetish doll comes to life and terrorizes poor Karen Black. If you can find this title, it's definitely worth checking out. Why does all the good stuff always go out of print?!?

Bubbles is in trubble......where are Blossom and Buttercup?!
I have to admit, Princess sure can be gutsy, stubborn,and(what everyone knows she is) spoiled. It's about when Princess STILL wants to be the 4th Powerpuff Girl. Since she couldn't think of anything ever since she moved to Townsville, she decides to be nice to the cutest Powerpuff Girl of them all,Bubbles!!(which is also my favorite). She then starts using her ga-zillion dollars to buy everything Bubbles admires- toys, clothes, accessories, and more!

Bubbles starts thinking Princess isn't so bad and begins admiring her-like a best friend!!!!!!!!! Still Bubbles' two sisters, Blossom and Buttercup get suspicious of Princess' giveaway to Bubbles. What they don't know is Princess is using Bubbles to try to bring her to the EVIL side!!!! Will Blossom and Buttercup snap their sister out of it? Or will their be one more Powerpuff Girl added to the team?

Unique
The Science and Technology of Terrorism and Counterterrorism examine some topics that you might find in other texts but in a more understandable format and with greater depth. It goes beyond this in that it covers so much more that is unique in a variety of areas such as the theory of terrorism and technology, the group psychology of terrorism, aerosol science, sensors (one of the most complete works on chem., bio and nuclear sensors that I have seen), medical preparedness, training and homeland security infrastructure. It is concise and timely and is written by a distinguished group of scholars with a broad range of expertise to thoroughly cover all of these complex topics.

Clifton is the greatest Sci-Fi writer ever.
Mark Clifton is the greatest science fiction writer ever. After reading his collection, I pretty much gave up on sci-fi since, in comparison to his work, so much in the genre seemed contrived and devoid of substance.

His background was in personel which provided him with the opportunity to interview 250,000 people in his career. This comes accross brilliantly in all the characters which populate his stories, everyone of them infused with a richness and truth that is rare in all forms of fiction. His works are perfect examples of the medium, meaning that they could not be told in any form other than sci-fi.

Please give him a try. If you do pick up the collection, then I highly recommend the last two stories, "What Now, Little Man?" and "Hang Head, Vandal!" The former story impressed me with the most profound sense of the meaning(and meaninglessness) of life that I have ever encountered in literature. He is such an underated and unknown master of sci-fi, it would really be great for some of you to discover him as I did. And if you like what you see, then you might want to try one of his few novels, "When They Came from Space." Don't let the cheesy title fool you. It's a wonderful satire and contains an inspired debate on the differences between faith in science and faith in miracles.
