"An Amish Christmas" combines an informative text by Richard Ammon with illutrations by Pamela Patrick. The text is the first-person narration of an Amish boy who tells about his life and the way his family celebrates Christmas.

The text captures many interesting details of Amish life. Particularly interesting is the presentation of the bilingual culture of this Amish community, whose members speak both Pennsylvania Dutch (which is actually a dialect of German) and English. Ammon includes a number of Pennsylvania Dutch words and phrases, with translations, in the text. Example: "Siss am schneea" ("It's snowing").

Ammon's intelligent text is wonderfully complemented by Patrick's beautiful illustrations. Her style is realistic and colorful, and she superbly captures the facial expressions of the Amish children. There are many wonderful images and details: a horse's breath visible on a frosty December day, a colorful patterned quilt, a friendly snowball "fight," and more. Simply marvelous.

The beautiful illustrations in this book only enhance the simple story of how the Amish celebrate the Christmas holiday. Narrated by a young Amish boy, readers are quickly transported into the Amish world and the Christmas season. Great for readers of all ages.

This book is fabulous! For sailors, the story alone is worth the read, but it is much more than just a story about sailing. Bertrand's description of the final race against "the red boat" (Dennis Connor) is so powerful that I felt what he and his crew felt, even before I had read what they felt! Any reader interested in the nature of sport and competition will find this book valuable.

Fantastic book. It is an instructive lesson in how to prepare for what you overwhelmingly want to achieve. Being set in the context of one of the most famous sporting events in history, the attempt to wrest the America's Cup from the US after 132 years, makes it that much more exciting. Sailors will love it, but anyone interested in the psychology of winning will gain from this book.

Most books on Dermatology I know have good pictures OR good text. This one has good pictures AND good (although brief) text. Furthermore, the conditions are arranged by the predominant sign (pruritus, alopecia, inflammation, etc.) which facilitates greatly finding the disease you are dealing with. On top, the authors frequently give you a list of the rule-outs you should consider in each case. Diagnosis of dermatoses is still difficult but, without this book, it might be impossible. Iowa State Press managed again to put out a great book at a small pice. Get it!

Ever since I graduated from vet school I have been looking for a good dermatology atlas. It seemed like the ones that had nice photos had just that, no text, and the ones that DID have text with each picture only told you about the disease but not what to do with it. This book has it all - for each disease, a definition, etiology and pathogenesis, clinical features, ddx, diagnostic tests and so important - management. Oh and nice colour photos. What I found weird at first was the way the book is laid out - not by dermatoses cause, as I would expect (like - parasites, allergies, systemic, etc) but by they way they appear - pruritic, nodular, ulcerative, endocrine, etc. But in the end it made sense.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, very classy. The book is a story of courage, decency, and integrity. It's nice to finally find an author who can write an adult story without having "adult" material. I intend to read more of Wheelers' writings. I trust his other novels are as brilliantly written.

This was the first book I read by a male author. I usually read Historial Romance by women authors. This book was very well written with good discriptions of characters, made you feel like you knew them. It was a book that i could not put down. I can not wait to read the rest of the Sam Flint series. Although I would not consider this an actual Romance novel it was filled with all the things of the West and how courage over came problems and how one mans love for a women had him doing what was in her best intrest instead of his own.

I'm a weight lifter. When my massage therapist told me about this book and told me it was about muscle strength, I thought that no one could be stronger than I was. I tried a couple of the exercises in the book and realized I was not as strong as I thought I was. All I can say is give it a try you will be surprised how much more effective you become in the weight room and with all exercise. I can lift more and I look better. My body is leaner and more cut. I also enjoy my workouts more because I am not sore afterwards. I particularly enjoyed the CD-ROM. It is a very effective way to learn about this therapy and to try it for yourself. I recommend this book highly to anyone who wants to look and feel better.

I have had pain for the majority of my life and have sought various treatments including physical therapy, chiropractic, massage, acupunture...you name it, I've tried it. Everyone of whom said they could help me. No one did. My doctor recommeded this book saying it would help me. He was right. A sceptic by heart I tried it halfheartedly. But couldn't believe how much better I felt in a week. I immediately called the clinic and booked myself in for an appointment. Today, I am still doing the exercises every day, running, dancing and enjoying my life. Thanks to the people at Symmetry.

Set in Amish country, this story introduces a young Amish boy who takes care of the horses on his family's farm. "Ever since I was old enough to help with the chores, I've cared for our horses. Datt says that I have a special way with them." Written in the first person, our young Amish friend introduces the readers to the types of horses used on the farm and what their jobs are. He takes us along to a horse auction and gives us an insight into how a horse is chosen to join those already on the farm Patrick's vivid pastel illustrations bring the story to life. The realistic illustrations capture the image created by the text, whether its in the field planting or at the horse auction. Each illustration is framed by a red border. An Amish Quilt pattern border set in the same red frame sets off the text. The author has included a glossary of horse terms. As with his other stories featuring the Amish, the author has had the story read by Amish friends and the art examined for accuracy. This will be a valuable addition to a library's collection or for anyone who loves horses.

This is a very comprehensive review of the Battle of Britain, the campaign which saved Europe from an indefinite period of darkness, oppression, and inhumanity. Without the courage and resilience of the British people and the courage, competence, and sacrifice of the young pilots and crews of the RAF from whom so much was demanded Hitler's legions would have stood triumphant over a defeated Europe. The level of detail about the technological and tactical development of aerial combat and strategic bombing from WWI to WWII, including radar, propellers, engines, gasoline, machine guns, gunsights, will attract aviation 'wonks' and the address of the broader political imperatives which led to war will attract the historian and political scientist. Mr. Jacobs' unbelievable sketches throughout add very helpful imagery of the aircraft which fought the campaign. I was intrigued, too, by the description of the influence of American aviation developments in the building of the German and British airfleets. I wish, though, the authors had addressed in more detail the effect of the early British breaking of German communication codes. A good read!

Just the sound of their names, makes your hair stand on end, and your heart beat faster. Bold Ruler, the sire of so many greats. Secretariat, can anyone ever forget his thirty one length win in the Belmont, making him the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years. Ruffian, the magnificent filly who came to grief in the fateful match race against Foolish Pleasure . The names go on Alleged, Spectacular Bid, Every page has a story to tell of these champions of the track

This is the book of all books for the thoroughbred lover. None can compare. The text is beautifully written, making you feel you know each animal, and all their quirks.The paintings by Reeves are magnificent, you feel you could reach out and stroke a velvet nose, or caress a silky ear.

I purchsed my copy in 1980 and along side my 1976 copy of Classic Lines these books are my pride and joy.

If you love thoroughbreds, this book is a must, you will thrill every time you read it.

This book is excellent. The author has put together an intriguing and well-written Christmas story that has a wonderful and touching ending. I would recommend this book as a must read this holiday season.

I love reading small Christmas books in December, just to put me in the "Christmas" frame of mind. I usually read classics (A Christmas Carol, The Christmas Box) but each year, I also buy a few new Christmas books. This year, I read The Christmas Wish, a very nice, very touching and very entertaining story of love, forgiving and self-discovery.

Will comes home after his grandfather's death to take control of the family business. While there, he discovers something awful; his grandfather was probably having an affair with a woman named Lillian. For Christmas, his grandmother asks Will to find this Lillian so that they can make things straight and discover the truth. Will goes on a quest to find the mystery woman, but the quest also turns into a discovery of himself as he will learn how to enjoy life and how to really love again.

The book has some very touching moments and the story is quite engaging; it still was able to surprise me in the end. This is the perfect book to read around Christmas time; it will lift your spirits and put you in the mood for the most wonderful time of the year... Guaranteed!

If you're tired of all the murder, the violence, the anti-heros, "The Christmas Wish" is just the book for you. It starts out as a very simple story, but soon begins to blossom into an uplifting message, without being preachy. I cried so much reading the last two pages I could barely focus on the words. Richard Siddoway makes his characters seem very human and real. This book is a must-read for the Christmas season or any other time. Truly a "feel good" book!
