This is an excellent book, written by a very knowledgable and good teacher. I was lucky enough to take a class from him, and from what I have seen of his book, it is just as a fantastic survey of art in India as the class was.

I am completely delighted with "The Little Guides" series. The format is extremely user friendly, and each guide is packed with useful and interesting information. I enjoy reading them, but my 6 year old daughter gives them the most use. While the guides are written at an adult level, there is plenty that she can read and understand. I currently own "Sharks," "Birds," "Mammals," "Space," "Whales," and "Flowers."

"Birds" contains two parts, the first covering the basics of birds, bird behavior, and bird and human interaction. Part two then gives information on about 250 different species of birds. The guide is richly illustrated and each entry contains information on the bird characteristics, feeding, reproduction, and habitat. This is a great book for car rides, having the children spot a bird and look it up in this guide.

This guide is packed with useful information, and is a great resource of adults as well as children!

I wept with joy while reading this book. It affirms that we ALL are perfect, whole and complete just the way we are. God is LOVE, not wrath nor judgement. The book makes so much sense and when an angel speaks, I listen. The book of bricks from the angel is one of blessings, which is emotional training; giving, which trains the mind; and deeds, which trains the body. What a perfect way to begin to live one's life, blessing one's neighbors and those that previously have irritated us changes the way we feel. Giving of our selves affirms the heart and by your own hand helping a neighbor affirms one' humanity and divintiy. May each of you find the peace that I did after reading this book. Bless your heart

This book is the best written and most coherent CNC text that I have seen. Unlike most other texts, it doesn't oversimplify the concepts of cutter compensation, canned cycles or conversational programming. Truly a 'must have' for those interested in what makes CNC machines tick.

An outstanding book on portfolio theory and management. Covers all relevant topics with breadth and depth. Can be used as a single text for teaching. Complete in it's content. Useful for the novice and the professional. There should be a paperback version for students.

Multicultural churches are not just more interesting, there biblical! The United States is a diverse melting pot. The Great Commission "Go..to all nations" has been made easier. The nations have come to us! Reading this book will give you a passion for seeing your church reach the nations in neighborhood.

As one of thousands of Michigander's who considered listening to JP synonymous with driving to work, I found the contents fascinating. Learning about his family background and the "story" behind many of his on air trevails that I heard live at the time brought back many fond memories. The touching commentaries and insights by his friends only serve to reinforce the fact that Detroit and the State of Michigan lost one of their treasures with his passing.

...It is meant to accompany the book "Keepers of Life: Discovering Plants Through Native American Stories and Earth Activities for Children" The teachers guide is good, but it is not simply a teachers edition of the other book. It doesn't just have a bunch of answers (there are no tests or quizes in the first book anyway). It has suggestions and activities to add to the experience of the the first book, but it isn't necissary for you to have this book to get good use out of the main book, which is written to be used by a teacher anyway, not individual students.

I've been lucky enough to see Michael Caduto perform theseNative stories in person. He brings Native beliefs to life inunexpected and delightful ways. The stories he and Josheph Bruchac have put together here do the same thing. They give young readers a chance to explore Native cultures while they learn and enjoy the stories! In addition to Native tales, this book provides factual information and activities on nature and animals. It's an outstanding resource for teachers, parents, and kids of all ages.

Joseph Bruchac is a natural stort teller. This whole series is wonderful. I have used these books with children from the ages of four through fourteen. But of all of them the cassette of The Keepers of the Animals is my favorite and the only one that I cannot keep because I am continually giving it away. It is not only the quality of Bruchac's voice but also the cadence that he brings to the telling that adds a resonance, a native rhthym to the stories, that enhances understanding. This is the way that these stories should be told and should be heard. Native American culture has a rich oral tradition and the sounds, the rhthyms of the language are an important part of the telling of a story. We may not have the sounds of the language per se except in the names but we can hear a little of the native cadence in Bruchac's delivery. These are wonderful tapes for small children and again this is my very favorite.
