This book has everything to help kids wonder about science through hands-on projects. I recommend it highly, and I've been working with kids for years. You won't run out of ideas in this big big book. The only downside is chosing which ones to do!

Elementary teachers! This is the one you've been looking for. This is a collection of very do-able experiments, with easy to understand directions for students (and teacher), materials that are readily available,and covering every science topic taught in grades 4-6. And the best part: If your science background is a little limited, this book has a quick, to the point, explanation of each experiment-it states what will happen and why. In my opinion, this book is aptly titled "The Best..."

As a professional retired military and active commercial pilot, I can tell you that by nature we (pilots) are a very scientific, methodic and structured group (that's how we stay alive!). We have to see every thing in black and white before we can either believe in or act upon it. That is why I can highly recommend 'Beyond a Reasonable Doubt' for those of you, who, like me, by nature, always had a few little nagging doubts that occasionally would creep into our beliefs. 'Beyond a Reasonable Doubt' will help you to put them to rest.

This book is very thoroughly researched and provides much solid evidence for anyone wishing to find out if the Bible is historically accurate, if Jesus was truly sent by God, and if God really created the universe. I have not seen a book so concise and compelling. I highly recommend it!

Strangely categorized by Amazon. This is the board game and not a book!

Great fun! An ideal game for your fellowship, growth groups, or other church meetings.

Loved it. The family had a really good time playing it together although some words were tough on the kids. If you like Pictionary its a blast.

"the book of masks" is a fascinating, engrossing read from the first page on. gourmont offers poignant commentary on the worth of each individual writer, although more often than not he lets his personal view distort the actual facts of the various writers' lives. the only writer i didn't like in this collection was andre gide, an eye watering bore who shouldn't really be categorized as a 'decadent', i don't think. and the story by moreas about the mother coming onto her son was a bit nasty. but all of these stories have beautiful touches of mystical, otherworldly, occult and sometimes perverse elements to them. a must

Erza Pound once wrote, "Gourmont prepared our era." He was one of the most original writers and thinkers of symbolism in its early days. His characters seem to exist in a bizarre dream-world ; where limits and rules seem arbitrary, ready to change and erupt violently at anytime. A precarious dark fantacy of mystical desire, perverse sexuality, gender confusion, and other 'depraved' issues decadent literature was then concerned with. These stories seek to explain and understand the repressed, often depraved, desires each of us have hidden deep down in the blackest regions of our soul. The theme of female sexuality, with its power to manipulate, over-power, and seduce is also apparent in his many femme fatale characters. Jam-packed with subconsious nightmares, fetishism, deviant behaivor, grotesque, deranged minds, this book is sure to please(and disturb) any fans of Baudelair, Huysmans, or any other decadent/symbolist writers in general.Perhaps even more relevent today...

from TT reviewer Angie Gibbs
Kerry and Terry McAfee are identical twins, and fledgling investigators. Asked by their zany Aunt Reba to help a friend of hers, the twins embark on a quest to find a runaway husband, but the situation quickly turns into a quest to find a killer. Tooling around the posh streets of Beverly Hills on a pink Harley straight out of the pages of Biker Barbie, the twins get more than what they bargained for when they uncover an intricate maze of blackmail, drugs, and murder.

With the help of their Aunt Reba and Kerry's former boss, defense attorney extraordinaire Eli Weintraub, the twins are determined to find the killer of their former client. Throughout the book, you get introduced to a cast of wacky characters, and two precocious dogs, a Chihuahua named Paquito and a Pug named Muffy. You are going to fall in love with the McAfee twins. Kerry and Terry McAfee are twins with very different personalities that seem to complement each other, as much as they spark off of each other.

Jennifer Colt has written a winner! A laugh a minute thrill ride, The Butcher of Beverly Hills will go down in history as a classic "who done it". From the first page, you'll be crying because you are laughing so hard at the quick dialogue, the kooky characters, and the hilarious situations that the twins always seem to find themselves in. Whether they are dodging police questions, getting beaten up by a mop-wielding janitor, or chased by an actor turned bodyguard, Kerry and Terry will hold your attention and keep you on the edge of your seat. The Butcher of Beverly Hills has been nominated in the Private Eye Writers of America/St. Martin's Press Best First Private Eye Novel Contest. This book is going to take a permanent place in my keeper collection. If you like a good mystery, you will not be disappointed.

They travel around Beverly Hills on a shocking pink Dyna Wide Glide Harley motorcycle that looks like something stolen from the "Barbie Goes Hog Wild!" collection. Twin red heads, one wearing a matching pink leather jacket with fringe, and a pink helmet with a purple flower-power daisy on the side.

I don't know where to start reviewing THE BUTCHER OF BEVERLY HILLS. It is that good! I spent the weekend reading it, and can't tell you how many times I was laughing so hard, I thought I was going to have to invest in new undergarments. It is
that funny.

Jennifer Colt is absolutely fantastic. She literally grabs
you with her two-page prologue, and takes you on an unforgettable ride with two of the most delightful redheaded twins, that you will ever meet. I wasn't even finished with
THE BUTCHER OF BEVERLY HILLS and already looking forward to
the next adventure that these twins were going to take me on. They are that addicting.

Terry and Kerry McAfee, twin twenty-something redheads, were born and raised in Beverly Hills, California. Identical twins
in appearance, but definitely with individual personalities. Due to circumstances beyond their control, they become private investigators in order to pay the bills. They aren't doing so great, paying the bills that is, when a friend of their rich Aunt Reba calls needing their help. So more out of the necessity for money, than for the love of their great-aunt,
they agree to help Lenore Richling out.

Right away they should have known that this job was not one
that was going to be routine, or easy. They had to meet Lenore in a hotel set up to cater to old women healing from plastic surgery.

When they arrive at the hotel they are met by a seventy-year-old woman,bearing bandages, bruises, and surgical tape. Lenore wants the girls to search for her twenty year-old soon to be ex-husband, Mario Vallegos,who has run away with ten thousand dollars of her money. After haggling over their fee, the girls finally agree to find him and Lenore's money.

What Terry and Kerry find while searching for Mario is considerably more than the ten thousand dollars. Murder, mayhem, drugs, abandoned pets,unethical attorneys, and the Russian mob are but a few of the obstacles in the way of solving the case. All surrounded by wealth, old ladies,and the
surreal world of Beverly Hills.

THE BUTCHER OF BEVERLY HILLS is a refreshing 'private eye' book that will have you laughing so hard, you will be crying. The characters are fresh, and brought forth in such a way that you can actually see them. Each one has a personality that draws you to them. The story is captivating with many twists and turns. You will not be able to figure out "who done it" until Ms Colt allows you to do so, although she does give you plenty of clues along the way.

Terry and Kerry are absolutely wonderful. They go through life with an attitude that is bubbling with enthusiasm and wonderment. The way that they look at the environment that they are thrown into is something that absolutely draws you to them.

Ms. Colt is an author that is here to stay, her humor and wit is beyond description. It flows from the pages in waves, and the reader absorbs it in such a way that they cannot but feel wonderful after having read it. At the same time they have read a mystery that is truly fascinating. One that is written so well that it cannot be put down until that very last page.

I can't wait for Ms. Colt's next installment in the lives, and
adventures, of Terry and Kerry McAfee. I just know that I will again have to stock up on Depends because I will again be laughing so hard at the antics of these wonderful red-headed twins on their pink Dyna Wide Glide Harley solving the problems of the rich, and famous in that ultra-rich world of 'Beverly Hills 213'

This is one book you cannot miss. Get your copy of THE BUTCHER OF BEVERLY HILLS now, because it won't stay on the shelves long.

When I first bought this book, I was sorely disappointed, not by the beauty of the blooms (and they are truly magnificent), but by the fact that they hid the body of the plant underneath in most cases. I didn't know as much about cacti as I do now. I also felt that I couldn't equate my humble little 5" pots to the outdoor giants depicted too. Now I know. You need to know about the flower before you can understand the cactus, and quite often, trying to identify one cactus not in flower from another is almost impossible because so many have similar characteristics. Just wait until the flowers start, and then you understand exactly what's what, and why some succulents look like cacti, but aren't. Sound confusing? It is, to begin with, but Miles Anderson brings it all to life in this glory of a book, and gradually, all the pieces begin to fall into shape. I would recommend this highly to anyone with an interest in knowing what they're growing, or with a penchant for beautiful photographs. Read his advice carefully, and you'll soon have the blooms for your identification. A lovely book.

In my never ending quest to find informative, user-friendly guides on houseplants, this one comes up a definite winner! The author's stated intent is to provide a guide to identification and growing, and the entire book is geared to exactly that, with a friendly, informative tone throughout.

The book is prefaced by a brief overview of shapes and forms, natural habitats, and design ideas. The body of the book is comprised of two sections on plants, one for cacti, the other for succulents. Species are presented alphabetically by genus, with an overview of the genus --its basic forms, preferences, and care-- followed by more detailed descriptions of individual plant species within the genus. Description include particulars of height and form, a rundown of cultivation preferences, and often details on propagation. The appendices at the back get a bit further into care and cultivation, particularly propagation, plus there's a glossary of terms, and several plant lists for conditions and interests. The index includes both scientific and common names.

What I liked best about this book was that it discussed growing environments in terms of tolerances, rather than ideals. It is all good and well to know that a plant grows best at 83 degrees, but how far can you push the envelope before the thing drops over dead? Descriptions like "It grows well in a half day of sun and will tolerate light frost without much damage" are ever so much more interesting and useful! Also, my hat is off to the photographer, for a most excellent job throughout.

I would recommend this book to absolutely anyone with an interest in cactuses. My particular interest is growing and identification of the various (unlabeled) things I've acquired over the last few years.

With an 8 and a 12 year old...fighting about games is a natural occurance. This book keeps the rules clear, so that there are no more accusations of cheating :) As the Editor of Amazingmoms.com I read an review books of this sort for rule clarity and information content. This book is certainly a five star reccomendation for my site.

This book is so cool. It's got 41 cool card games that you can learn how to play. It's so much fun to go through.

This book is really helpful if you're just starting out in Respiratory Therapy, the illusrations are great. The book is easy to read and understand. Great reference book. There are charts and quick references you can either cut out of the book or photo copy and have as a handy pocket guide.

If you buy this book you will have great overview of PFTs, respiratory physiology, anatomy, bloog gases, hemodynamics, ekg and other areas of cardiopulmonary care. All color throughout. This book is great for any medical or healthcare workers (especially early yrs medical students and respiratory practitioners).

This is my all time favorite humor book. I have the original and have enjoyed it for almost 20 years now. (It's getting a little shopworn, but still as funny as ever.) The students of cat high are hilarious- every possible high school stereotype from the cheerleader to the nerd. The teachers are your typical assortment, too, with a little Catholic School thrown in also- Sister Mary Spade- teacher of Cat-holicism and Dog-ma!!

I wish I'd bought a few more copies at the price it's going for now!!

This is a really great book. Humanoid cats. Very cute, very funny. It's a shame it's out of print.

This book was the source of many certifications.. It has numbers for many styles of super sports. It also has many good dealership style promo ads in these pages. If you're not sure if your car had a particular option, go to this book.

I was impressed by the prodution figures of the various models. As well and the many other details that were provided to the reader.
