This book is a great combination of creativity and information. Kids are smart and this book does not insult their intelligence. The activities are varied and utilize a number of different skills. There really are exciting activities for each and every child out there. Additionally, the activities are fact-based, so while a child is connecting the dots, he/she is also learning a little piece of history. It's a great addition to your child's collection.

As an early childhood educator, I find this book to be a wonderful resource for a geography curriculum.

I absolutely loved the Felix Activity Book. I shared it with family members both young and old and with my third and fourth grade students. It exposed children to wordly things that they may not normally have been exposed to until adult age. My students felt like they were actually traveling around the world. They were taking in sites, learning about currency, customs, cutlures... My students got so excited each time I took the activity book out of my closest. They would ask me...Where are we going today???? We can't wait for another edition!!!

MARÍA FÉLIX Descrita por Octavio Paz. A pesar de que en México es un país en el que han imperado los valores masculinos -el padre, el patriarca, el abuelo, el jefe, el macho-, muchas imágenes femeninas han encendido la mente y la fantasía de los mexicanos. Unas son dulces como la Virgen de Guadalupe, colina maternal, amparo de huérfanos; otras son abismales e insondables como la Malinche; otras son un aullido inconsolable, un río negro en la noche, como la Llorona; otras son risueñas y denodas como la Adelita de los revolucionarios. El mito de María Félix es distinto. En primer lugar, es moderno; enseguida, no es enteramente imaginario, como casi todos los del pasado, sino que es la proyección de una mujer real. Nació ante nuestros ojos y nació como un relámpago que desgarra las sombras. Fue y es un desafío ante muchas conversaciones y prejuicios tradicionales. María Félix es una mujer muy mujer que ha tenido la osadía de no ajustare a la idea que se han hecho los machos de la mujer. Es libre como el viento; dispersa o congrega a las nubes, las parte o ilumina con una centella, con la de su mirada.

Hay una diferencia entre los mitos de ayer a los de hoy; la Ninfa se convierte en constelación por la voluntad de Zeus, mientras que María es el resultado de lo que hizo con ella misma, con su cuerpo y con su cara, con su alma y con su vida. María pertenece a la raza de las divas y de los ídolos. Ella nació dos veces; sus padres la engendraron y ella, después se inventó a sí misma, es por eso que la gran creación de María Félix es ella misma.

Maria Felix the most popular Diva in the Mexican Film industry tells her story and her true life. This is one of the most important biography in the mexican life about a life leyend. LA DOÑA

Monique Felix's inviting mouse illustrations in Robert Lewis Stevenson's My Shadow provides an inviting mix of rollicking rhyme and whimsical mouse illustrations. Kids will learn a new appreciation of the poetic style will enjoying the mouse's lively adventures.

This classic poem by Robert Louis Stevenson displayed by wonderful illustrations! Penny Dale's talent shines in the clear pictures, that re a joy to look at over and over again. It only made the poem better for me, and my entire classroom of 5 year olds!

MY SHADOW (illustrated by Ted Rand) is on our short list for best picture book. Our four kids all loved the pictures and, of course, the poem. I would recommend the book as a toddler picture book rather than a beginning reader--the pictures are beautiful and engaging and the poem is suitable for little children.

This was about the type of people that knew how to build character in all of their generations of families. The goodness and non-fault finding of this strong family was as refreshing as a creek after a spring rain..Thank you Justine Felix Rutherford

When I read this book, the tales of my own grandmother stirred in my mind. Justine's humor and joy of life should serve as a standard to a new generation as she proves that determination, love and mischief taken in good measure will put you on a path of joy and fulfillment throughout your life. Close your eyes and you can smell the spring afternoon at the brook, or hog-killing day. Maybe you'll hear the whispers in class, or the dying breath of one of the patients she cared for until the end of their days. This book is rich in imagery and will take you to a time only a few will still remember with such clarity and fondness. At last, an accurate picture of rural life in the West Virginia hills.

The author gives vivid detail of her life in rural West Virginia during the depression and afterwards. For anyone with a desire to know how life was in poor Appalachia, this an excellent book to get factual details. I know that she gives an accurate detail about the life because I also grew up in the same area.

Aime Tschiffley, the most resiliant and capable of Buenos Aires' schoolmasters, wrote this truly astonishing story of his ride from Argentina to Washington, DC. South and Central America before WWII was still in many ways as the old Spanish had left it - some of it deliciously civilized, much of it as wild as can be imagined. With his two remarkable Creole horses, Mancha and Gato, Tschiffley journeys through a world that no longer exists today and seems remote and ancient to the modern reader. Tschiffley's prose is somewhat matter-of-fact, but in some ways this serves to emphasise the very strangeness of the countryside and its peoples, and underscores the author's own courage. Tshiffley is a product of his times, and some of his sentiments are out of place today, but this too places this book within a time and place long past. From "Don Roberto's" oddly moving introduction to journey's end in the United States, one grows to admire Tschiffley and love his horses, the two friends Mancha and Gato.

FROM BUENOS AIRES TO WASHINGTON DC IN TWO AND A HALF YEARS ON HORSEBACK. A.F. TSCHIFFELY RODE TEN THOUSAND MILES FROM THE SOUTHERN CROSS TO THE POLAR STAR AROUND 1930. HE MORE THAN LIKELY WAS THE ONLY MAN EVER TO DO THIS AT ANY TIME; CERTAINLY TO WRITE ABOUT IT. REMOTE CITIES AND SEAPORTS, BACK TO THE PAST AND ON LONELY TRAILS DID THE MAN TRAVEL. TOUCHING FROM TIME TO TIME ON HARDSHIP, SOLVING PROBLEMS, CONFRONTING THE CURIOUS, HE AND HIS TWO HORSES HAD A GREAT ADVENTURE.

It's a bold undertaking by a man who learned to live very closely with two horses. The horses were the resource that enabled him to succeed in this adventure of 10,000 miles from Buenos Aires to Washington DC. It's a page-turner!

After these exercises my butts, thighs, legs look better then they looked when I was a high school student. Amazing! :)
The more you do the program of exercises the more you are inspired by the changes in your look.

If you want the results you have to follow all the instructions carefully and you have to be hard on yourself. This program does miracles with your legs if you do "work your butts" :)

Good luck!

This program of exercises is definitely not for lazy people.
But if you really follow all the instructions you WILL get perfect results in a couple of weeks. The more you work on it, the more you are inspired by changes in your look.

I'm 26. Now my butts, thighs, legs look better then they looked when I was 15 :) Amazing!
Highly recomended.
(A little secret: You have to be hard on yourself doing the program)
Good luck!

I checked this book out of my local library, and used it for the specified time; three times a week for 30 minutes. The exercise directions are clear, and best of all, the exercises themselves do not require much space or equipment; just a chair and a rubber ball. With the help of this program, I was able to fit into my wedding dress!

Hello,
My name is Scott Neely and I liked the spot illustrations that I drew for this book. It has an X-Files feel to it and is a great supplement to the role-playing game. Enjoy!

The Conspiracy X rpg is one of the coolest around, and the Aegis organisation definitely needed a source book of its own. And here it is. It has loads more stuff on Aegis, including some cool new skils 'n professions. The stuff on Aegis rocks, and the advice on operations and tactics has helped my players get further into character. All in all, an invaluable addition to any Con X player's/GM's library.

This book is an excellent summary of the critical period when the old feudal Europe was swept away, and the modern industrial Europe was born. It begins describing the philosophes of the ancien regime, and ends with the Communist Manifesto. In between, it builds the bridge between the two.

Breunig descibes each of the major European powers (England, Austria, Prussia, Russia, and of course France), how their status quo was disrupted by the French Revolution and Napoleon, then how their reactionary governments tried, ultimately in vain, to stem the tide of revolution that swept Europe in the 1820's through 1850. One fascinating passage describes how the post-Napoleonic European leaders, desperately sick of war, struck a careful balance of power among themselves to ensure a steady, yet fragile, peace. Yet while maintaining this, the sovereigns (or most of them) ruthlessly crushed their internal conflicts, sometimes willingly accepting help from neighbors and formal rivals.

This book is especially interesting to Americans looking to understand the relationships between European countries and the roots of modern Europe.

Charles Breunig does a masterful job of painting a picture of a growing, developing Europe, in what many believe was the most remarkable period in European history.

Breunig's scholarship and narrative style notwithstanding, the illustrations are excellent in providing a stimulating historical perspective.

One expects that the French Revolution would be the centerpoint, but excellent pre-revolution observations and post-revolution results are treated as well. Breunig shows how the Industrial Revolution, in resource rich England, was the begining and the various European Revolutions were the results. The section on Russia and its gradual revolution is excellent on several fronts, not the least of which as a partial explanation for the second revolution in the early 20th century.

"Revolutionary Europe" is an excellent reading experience for anyone from someone looking to be introduced to this exciting period to graduate student. Breunig's dry wit make this an enjoyable experience.

My toddler would "read" this book without words over and over and over again. It's a no-brainer. Buy it.

Kids will love the unique pictures. It is such a fun way to teach colors and how to mix them and make other colors. The last page of the book is adorable! My kids are older now, but I pick up Monique Felix's books when ever I can.

I completely agree with the previous reviewer about this concise and razor sharp explication of Deleuze and Guattari's work. While I'm no expert, I have read a great deal of the secondary literature out there and this one exceeds them all in clarity, rigor, and the all-important avoidance of that snobby tone so-many D&G commentator's take, as if privy to something one's readers aren't. This isn't going to be an actual review, by the way, just an added encouragement to whoever chances upon this book to get it and be quick about it. Yes, it's rather old; yes, Bogue does refer to Logique du Sens as the "Logic of Meaning" (I don't think it'd been translated when he wrote the book); yes, for all of that, it remains the one commentary that stands out (in my mind) above all the others.
After this, the secondary works I would recommend are Michael Hardt's "Apprenticeship in Philosophy," Claire Colebrook's "Gilles Deleuze," Eugene Holland's invaluable explication of Anti-Oedipus (he has written many outstanding little articles as well, which you'll find in the anthologies), and finally, the more difficult but singularly rewarding "Clamor of Being" by Alain Badiou. Also, as far as the "applications" of D&G go, the little book by a guy named James Brusseau, "Isolated Experiences," is by far the best, however much one wants to disagree with his making a solipsist of Deleuze (more or less).
All in all, this book will punch a hole in your mindzone without messing up your pathways. For once...a book that allows you to MAKE connections rather than preventing them with the standard proxy of "DeleuzoGuattarian." As a final note, unrelated to Bogue's book, everyone who's interested should be aware that there is a slew of Deleuze's lectures from his time at Vincennes available in translation at WebDeleuze, I believe. They range in subject from Kant, Leibniz, Spinoza, to cinema, AO and ATP, and one shouldn't miss the opportunity to see what incredible pedagogic gifts Deleuze possessed. These lectures are superb, clear, and, contrary to what most uninformed people seem to think of Deleuze's work, extremely rigorous and invigorating. Such was the man's gift...

It's amazing that the first book written in English on Deleuze and Guattari is still the best one to be found out there. I've been working deeply on the work of Deleuze and Guattari for about four years now and have read a vast amount of the secondary literature that's out there. Although I do not fully agree with all of the ways in which Bogue unfolds their work, he is very clear, highly accurate, and demonstrates a great deal of respect for the text. This is especially true of the sections on _Difference and Repetition_ and _The Logic of Sense_ that have managed to say more in twenty five pages than nearly everything that's out there. Moreover, Bogue does something tremendously important in these remarkable pages... He reads Deleuze as Deleuze without assimilating the project of DR and LoS to the later work with Guattari. Since there are important innovations between the early work and the later work, such an approach is extremely important. Bogue also demonstrates the same degree of respect when he approaches _Anti-Oedipus_ and _A Thousand Plateaus_ by discussing Guattari's important work before his fortuitous encounter with Deleuze. Although, in the end, you might not agree with all Bogue has to say, this is a must read for enthusiatic fans of Deleuze and Guattari. It's too bad other commentators have not adopted the ideal of precision Bogue adopts here... An ideal Deleuze himself praises and demands as a necessary condition for philosophy in _Bergsonism_.
