In fact, 1019 questions & answers that cover all the subjects about who we are, where we come from and where we're going. This nineteenth century book is absolutely updated to the third millenium, continuing to change our lives and helping us to understand more about life and good ways for living. Even if you are not spiritist, you can read it. It is divided in four main parts (primary causes, the spirits world, the moral laws, and hopes and consolations). Each part of the book was lately developed in others Allan Kardec's books. The Spirit's Book is an easy-reading option to understand our problems in this late 20th century.

This is the first book Allan Kardec wrote. It is a must read for anybody looking for answers to life's, so far, unsolvable misteries. If this book rings true to you don't stop here there is more by Kardec and others.

If you're looking for answer about life, death, meaning of life, spirits, etc... this book is the one you got to have. I've always been intereted by the spiritism, this book is the reference.

"Heaven To Betsy", is the best book in the Betsy-Tacy series that I've read so far. It makes you wish that you could go to Deep Valley High yourself! I CAN'T WAIT to read the other Betsy-Tacy books as Betsy grows up.

My name is Betsy and I was born in a little town in Minnesota, not unlike Deep Valley. I was named after Betsy Ray. My mother read the books when she was a little girl and later shared them with me. There was no treat like being taken to the library after school to choose another Betsy book! My best friend growing up, was Tiffy, and we too were known as Betsy-Tiffy. Our names seemed as unseperable as we were! We were quite old-fashioned little girls and had almost carbon-copies of the adventures Tacy and Betsy had. I still adore these books and can't believe what a good choice my mother made in giving her authoress daughter such a splendid name. I write children's stories and must confess having a hard time keeping Betsy and Tacy's characters out of them! These books helped to keep me a child for a good long time. I think I grew up very wholesomely and feel privileged to have had my childhood, so like Betsy's!

The Betsy-Tacy book series is fantasic, to say the least. When I was little, my mother read them aloud to my brothers and I. That's not to say they're only for children. Anyone will love these timeless classics. They feature Betsy Warrington Ray, a young aspiring writer, who's character is actually based closely upon author Maud Hart Lovelace's Life. In the first book, 'Betsy-Tacy', Betsy has her 5th birthday party and invites her new neighbor, 5-year-old Tacy Kelly. Soon to make their twosome a threesome, Tib Muller moves to the neighborhood from Milwaukee. They become great friends and the books take the girls through high school and beyond. The books in the Betsy-Tacy series are:

Betsy-Tacy, Betsy, Tacy and Tib, Betsy and Tacy Go Over the Big Hill, Betsy and Tacy Go Downtown, Heaven to Betsy, Betsy in Spite of Herself, Betsy was a Junior, Betsy and Joe, Betsy and the Great World, and Betsy's Wedding.

I recommend these books highly; everybody should read them.

I bought this book for my niece for Christmas and she LOVED it, she couldn't put it down and she isn't a big reader. I read it too, and it is hilarious. The descriptions of Michigan are dead-on accurate and the references to the superiority of New York will tweak many a midwesterners nose. But, Sarah starts to love Michigan, so that makes her all right with me. A great coming of age story for girls, and I love the Internet component.

Sarah's Page is a great book! I read it in two days! It had me laughing hysterically, and crying like I would NEVER stop. I loved this book most because I thought that I was the only one who ever left the place I called home, and moved across country. This book proved that wasn't true, and Sarah knew exactly what I was going through. This book gave me pointers about how to look at and deal with moving away. I was inspired to start taking horse riding lessons and want to start thinking about getting a horse and caring for it like Sarah did. Basicly all there is to say about this book is that it's the BEST, and I wish there was a sequal!!! :0)

Originally I bought this book for my niece who is a Michigander. The weekend it arrived from Amazon, she was off with her parents to a wedding for the weekend. It didn't take her long to read the entire story. This weekend she lent it to me. One day. That's all it took. I couldn't put Sarah's Page down. Not only is it a clever idea, but the story is compelling. Sarah is your best friend or the one you wish you had. (BTW I am 53 years old ;) )

Lukan is a wonderful book. It has great adventure and suspense and is difficult to put down once you start. It offered a challenge to the reader to determine who the characters really were. I read it twice so that I could absorb all the details of the story. The descriptions made me feel like I was really there. I would highly recommend LUKAN and the author Anna Hanberg!

I could not put this book down! It was wonderful! So refreshing. This new author did a great job. It is the kind of book that people of all ages will enjoy. And to top it all off, just when you think you have it all figured out she surprise's you with a new twist.
This book has no vulgar language. That's what is so good, to be able to read a book such as this and not have to put up with dirty language. This book has a great love story mingled within the mystery.
You will love it! I suggest it to everyone.

I loved this book! I could not put it down once I began reading it. It is full of adventure and romance. The twists and turns of her incredible imagination are just refreshing. I can read this book over and over and never get tired of it. Just when you think you have figured out the mystery, you come up to a great twist of the story. I recommend it to anyone who loves mystery, romance, and adventure in one.

I have read this novel in French, and I have found it is one of the best books I have ever read. More, I've also read the next book 'The gardens of Badalpour". I recommend widely these books to lovers of historical novels.

I have read this novel in English and in Spanish, and I have found it is one of the best books I have ever read. Historically, It gives you a realistic glimpse of the fall of the Turkish Empire, the life in Lebanon and the life in India during the last days of the British Dominion. The story of the princess and her daughter is dramatic and sweet at the same time. I recommend widely this book to lovers of historical novels.

This is one of the best books I ever read.It's make me want to learn more about Ottoman empire, more about Turkey, more about mussulms.It's an extraordinary book. For me it's means the search for happiness, and love that Selma never found and her mother either, I am looking forward to read her next book,about the awesome Ottoman empire.

This book had lots of good facts and I especially liked the pics in the middle. They really added to the book. Every real Backstreet Boy fan should at least read this book once. The facts were mostly right, and I learned a lot about the BSB.

This tops it. All of the books I ever read this one I think is the best. It tells about every backstreetboy. It has instresting facts that really can make you laugh, & sock you. There's topics about Nick, A.j., Brian, Howie, & Kevin. This book is the best yeat & I think all the backstreetboys fans would agree.If anyone wants to talk about Nick just e-mail me!! Thanx.. Love-tracy

This book helps me write articles about them easily. It is a great book for people who don't know a whole lot about them. It gives you each members background and how each of them met eachother. The pictures are great in the middle. This book is one that everyone should read. (=

I owned this book as a child, having gotten it out of a pile of withdrawn books at my library. I read it more times than I could count and absolutely loved it. Alas, when I was about 13 or 14 I had the stupidity to give it away when I decided I had outgrown it. It didn't take me very long to realize that I was wrong, and I've spent the last several years looking for it. It's admittedly written for children ranging from about 8 to 10 or 12, but it's one of those classics that anyone can enjoy.

This book is terrific, I loved it when I was little and I remember forcing my brother to read it to me over and over before I could read. It's an enchanting story, delightful for girls all over, it was the first book I thought of when looking for a book for my neice. Our local book store at the time was able to special order it for me, which was about 8 years ago. I have to admit my 5 yr. old son doesn't seem to be as enthusiastic about it as I was (we borrowed his cousin's book), which makes me think it is definately more appealing to girls. Anyone who was a fan of "Bewitched" or the current "Sabrina..." will like this book.

Minikin, Minx for short, is a witch's daughter, but she'd rather not be. She doesn't like making witch stews or seeing the potted plants on the windowsill that are actually children who her mother cursed. She wants to go to school and wash herself, even though her mother forbids such ideas. Minx's story is a well written great read with an interesting and surprising plot. This book is delicious.

I've been scrapbooking for 9 years and I still got a lot of ideas from this book. Ideas for albums, techniques, journaling, page design, photo shoots and how to take better photos. I look at all the books around and this one is the best for anyone past the beginner stage. Compared to all the booklets at the scrapbook stores that cost $12 this book is a huge bargain. It is loaded with information.

Believe me, I have many books on this subject and this one is superior. The layouts are elegant, the book is a visual treat, and it also touches on rubber stamping and other scrapbook related subjects. The ideas are fresh and do-able. This is packed with wonderful ideas. This would make an excellent gift for a friend who loves to do scrapbooks, since the contents are original and the overall quality is so high.

Most books on the topic I buy, then pass on to someone else. Not this one. Not only does it cover basic techniques, it inspires readers to try something a little different on their pages; stamping, hand-cut titles and elements, watercolor borders, to name a few.

The book is arranged by month, and the examples for each month give new ideas for photo opportunities. A scrapbook will only be as good as the photos in it, no matter how creative the layout, and plenty of tips for improving your picture taking are included as well.

This book is one I continue to look to for ideas, even after doing seven scrapbooks.

Given the subject matter, one can be forgiven for expecting Hope's Edge to be a depressing read--after all we are pushing our planet to its absolute limit and hope sometimes seems a great folly. But rather than increase my sense of helplessness, the mother-daughter team of researchers and writers (Frances Moore-Lappe and Anna Lappe)have inspired me and indeed pushed the edge of hope a little further. With its documentation of individual lives and community-based solutions, the book reminds me about the importance of our individual decisions. It is easy to become complacent when I live in one of the wealthier parts of the world. It is just as easy to feel helpless and apathetic and to not see the impact I can make simply by supporting my local organic farmers and making other conscientious consumer decisions. Hope's Edge eloquently points to the power of imagination, of envisioning new ways of living and working in community. Thanks Anna and Frances for making the journey and sharing it with the world!

Hope's Edge : The Next Diet for a Small Planet
by Frances Moore Lappe, Anna Lappe picks up where Diet For A Small Planetleft off than in my opinion this is what makes the authors true geniuses and part of the movers and shakers of the past and present. They are not comfortable sitting on their laurels and are instead what I would call true visionaries and brave souls when you consider what the world is like in 2002.

On page 11 I read "I still believe food has this unique power. With food as a starting point, we can choose to meet people and to encounter events so powerful that they jar us out of our ordinary way of seeing the world, and open us to new, uplifting and empowering possibilities. They call us to travel "hopes edge." Thus this is where the title comes in.

The way the writers share their journey to other lands and others states here in the U S is so interesting. Learning about the different eating styles and even in a broader sense how people often eat to deal with pain when in decades past it was a communal thing. People used to eat to live and now as the countries skyrocketing obesity rates show people not only live to eat but they eat to deal with issues that once were dealt with by talking them out. Someday I hope someone writes a book on food as a tranquilizer and how food has become the PC (politically correct) substitute for alcohol.

In the 70's and 80's when Diet for a Small Planet was so popular (and still is) we were in a period where alternative health and eating choices were the venue of the quirky, hippie, even geek world. Now in 2002 we face genetically engineered foods, disease in cattle and now poultry in Asian countries and the authors are now more of a must read than ever.

This is no longer about simply being nice to the land and the animals that are raised for food. It is about the worlds health, the world limited water, and money sources and how what we eat begins long before the food hits our plate.

And I am glad to see the whole uncomfortable subject of Americans skyrocketing obesity rates being discussed as well as the poison that is what I call fast food and junk food and how corporate dollars are the bottom line and that it is the ignorance of the stock holder who is being endangered by the very foods their stock investments produce.

One of these days I hope the Nobel Prize powers that be will start seeing what humanitarians people like Moore-Lappe, Dean Ornish and Paul McCartney are and that Peace Prize needs to go to people who are seeking to help save the world and not kill it. And for my family and I we have returned to a non meat diet. Thanks in part to these excellent examples.

I wanted to give you some feedback about an extraordinary book that you sell. Just out a few months ago, written by Frances Moore Lappe (author of Diet for a Small Planet), Ms. Lappe and her daughter Anna traveled 5 continents to write the stories of people in communities that are"doing the right thing" - benefiting their communities in sustainable ways as well as themselves and serving as inspiration for those of us who work to create more healthy and sustainable communities. Hope's Edge is even better than Diet for a Small Planet, and serves as a remarkable guide in a world that has become much harder to live in.

Two books that have really changed the way I think about the world are Malcolm Gladwell's The Tipping Point and Hope's Edge, by Frances Moore Lappe and Anna Lappe. Thank you for carrying books that introduce constructive avenues toward social change and move people to positive action.

Our two little girls, three and two years old, LOVE Madeline. Daddy reads them one story each night -- they always get to pick which. For Christmas they got two new books which are still almost unread, since every night they want Madeline! The stories are exciting, but gentle and sweet; they are moral but not preachy. And the poetry is wonderful! Also the stories are not too long for a tired parent's voice at bedtime. But with only two little ones of my own, I wonder how DOES Miss Clavel keep TWELVE little girls in two straight lines?

My daughter had seen a couple of Madeline videos (including Madeline's Resuce) and really enjoyed them, so I decided to purchase this book. Well, after only having it for a week and a half, she is pulling it off her bookshelf and asking me to read it to her. The sing-song quality of the prose has her "reading" along with me as best she can already.

These stories can be understood by toddlers even at this early age, although the "recommended" age for this book is older.

A great book and a good deal - worth the price.

I just bought this for my 3 year old daughter as I wanted to introduce her to Madeline.

Madeline and Miss. Clavel (are) brilliantly brought to life in each of the six short stories. There are are bright, vivid pictures with not too many lines which hold the little one's attention (If the wonderful story lines didn't!)

My daughter and I are really pleased!
