The authors of this book go out of their way to portray fathers in the worst possible light. There attitude is that the diminished relationship between fathers and their children following divorce is entirely the fault of the father, and furthermore that this is no big deal. From their point of view, the man should just pay and go away. They are dismissive of the idea of joint custody, down right hostile to the idea of fathers getting custody, and seem to think that fathers are basically irrelevent to children, aside from their economic impact, even in intact families. Apparently all the information they gather on divorced dads comes from their ex spouses, at least that seems to be the only parents they ever quote. Their only substantitive policy recomendation is to raise the level of child support payments and ever stricter enforcement of them. They argue that the standard of living of the man goes up after divorce, which seems to indicate that they have never met a divorce man. They do not even mention that child support payments are tax free to the mother and non tax deductable to the father, a rather glaring and down right deceptive ommision in doing any assesment of the economic impact of child support. All in all this book is so biased against men as to almost reach the level of hate speech.

I have been a fan of L. Frank Baum's works for decades, from the Wizard of Oz series to Queen Zixi of Ix and others (I've read at least 20 of his books, each many times!). Baum wrote this book under the pseudonym Edith Van Dyne. Like virtually all of his books, the Flying Girl and Her Chum has strong female characters, the heroine being a likeable girl named Orissa Kane. The two lead characters have an adventure turning on a crashlanding on a remote island. Although some of the characters' experiences are interesting, I found this book progressed tediously much of the time. An unsavoury character is introduced halfway through the book, and although the protagonists do succeed in escaping him the book ends VERY disappointingly. In a children's (or this case, young adult's) story, the accepted formula is that good triumphs over evil by the end of the story. In this book, good does escape evil, but the evil character gets away with his behaviour! I had come to dislike much of the style of this book before the nasty character was introduced, and I only finished it a) to see if the book would get any better (this was after all an L. Frank Baum story, and I'd never read one before I didn't like!); and b) to see this character get his comeuppance. He never did, and I was _tremendously_ disappointed. So, if any reader would like to explore the wonder the public had in 1911 about powered flight and to do it through the experiences of interesting, young, fictional women, I might recommend this mediocre book to them. For anyone expecting a delightful, imaginative, silly, sometimes even corny, typical Baum children's story, I am happy to recommend all of the author's Oz books and his related stories, but I do not recommend the Flying Girl and Her Chum.

hey guys- don't you think it might be helpful to list the TITLES

Despite having an accurate title and being the most recent biography of George H. Thomas this book was the pits. The author relies too much on primary sources and battle reports and thus takes the exciting story of a Virginian who fought for the Union during the Civil War into an unreadable mess. I am glad to see books written on Thomas, however this one is a major disappointment.

to read this "book" would be to introduce yourself to the worst piece of "literature", if you can call it that.

it was, to say the least, disappointing to readob the entire content of this book, and if ...

Don't buy this book! This book contains a fair number of typographical errors that tend to give it a 'sloppy' feel. Also, one analogy given in this book was apparently taken from GPS A Guide to the Next Utility by Jeff Hurn and published by Trimble Navigation in 1989, to whom the authors make no reference. It should also be noted that approximately half of this book is just made up of reprinted advertisments for different kinds of GPS equipment. To a few this may be useful, but it will quickly become obsolete. There are many other books that are much better. For a short, straight forward tutorial see the Trimble Navigation web site, and for an introductory level look at the uses of GPS for precise positioning see GPS for Land Surveyors by Jan Van Sickle.

Well, what can be said about this book, other than it's hardly believable that Arnold Bennett could have penned such a poor piece of work (or perhaps I haven't read enough of him?).

Briefly, Theodore Racksole, an American millionaire, buys the Grand Babylon Hotel in London in a fit of pique due to the fact that the hotel refuses to serve him the meal he wants. (The limitations of English cuisine is in fact the only believable part of the plot). Thereafter Racksole and his daughter Helen (aka Nella) become involved in various shenanigans centred on the German Prince Eugen of Posen.

This is a very very dated potboiler of a thriller. Where it isn't predictable, it's ludicrous. Those with a morbid curiosity for terrible period pieces might get some enjoyment out of reading it. I'm trying to forget it.

First of all, this book is pretty classist. In the beginning George Sand says that poor people are unable to understand beauty and the higher things in life--then she says that writers should stop whining about the plight of the poor people, that they are happy just the way they are. Well, it seems to me that if learning is an important part in life and there are people who have never had the opportunity to be enriched by that, it isn't "whiny" to want to mitigate their situation---but there's George Sand for you. She never thinks things through.

Then, of course, since this is Sand, it is more mawkish and sentimental than even Chateaubriand. The story is simple enough, yet Sand would have us fall to our knees and weep with joy over it. And furthermore, it is incredibly dull and cliched. The plot is about two people in love who reciprocate each other's affection and get marrried. The characters are a handsome, sensitive widower and a delicate milkmaid. Somewhere along the line there's a magical pool that keeps them stuck in the woods long enough for the man to declare his love for the woman. There are no complex, philosophical meditations. There's not much more to it than that.

Oh, if you like elitist dilettante musings wrapped in the most tired commonplaces imaginable and disguised as beauty, then you'll like this book. But otherwise, stay far, far away from this book.

I have read Mr. Campers other book LRRP and it was very good. This book however is nothing more than a few pages of very basic information for somebody that has no idea of how to load a Firearm.
If you have no idea how to lock your doors or if your prone to choking in the bath tub you might like this book.
