David Jones' 'The Tribune's Visitation' is a putative address to the troops by a Tribune in the times of the Roman Empire. It is in prose, outstandingly compressed in language and feeling and is in another league of achievement than most contemporary poetry. It's also virtually unknown. But then the Brits (of whom I am one) don't take kindly to writers who think and feel with that kind of intellectual passion. As Ezra Pound says somewhere about the Anglo-Saxon poem 'The Seafarer,' this is not a poem written for after-dinner speeches. Buy it, read it. Be stunned.

This book is concise and explains all you need to know in simple english. The excercises help understand the material and they are easy to do. Highly recommended.

Uncle John's Presents Blame It On The Weather: Amazing Weather Facts is an amazing and collaborative compilation by weather experts and science writers David Phillips, Michael Parfit, and Suzanne Chisholm of exciting and little-known facts about weather in general, and North American weather patterns in particular, ranging from a bizarre thirty hours when Niagra Falls ran dry, to the worst ice storm in recorded history in the year 1998. Trivia, charts, quotes, and an inset section of full-color plates embellish this informed and informative, "reader friendly", and highly recommended survey guide to the weird and wonderful weather workings.

This is an absolutely gorgeous coffee table book featuring a wide variety of scenic landscapes of the Appalachian Trail. The spectacular photos, rich with color, take you on a journey through this beautiful area.

Muench's trademark photography of water in motion is awesome. There are peaceful ponds, trickling streams, raging rivers, & cascading waterfalls. Brilliantly colored autumn leaves & fog covered mountains are also in abundance.

You also get a close up look at a wide variety of flowers in bloom including iris, trillium, & lady's slippers. There are enchanting lush green forests and towering rocks that stand like huge sculptures in the rugged landscape.

There is also an introduction with a history of the Appalachian Trail. Each photo takes an entire page with location information is given below it. Get this book & I promise you won't be disappointed.

If you are from a small town in the mid west, You will LOVE this book, and swear it to be about your hometown. It is written in such a way that you can actually FEEL the gritty August sun blazing on the back of your neck as the tension mounts to a fantasic completion.

This book is a wonderfull display of british artwork, it is also extremely informative and a trully usefull and pleasurable book to have. I can not recomend it highly enough.

"Oct. 22nd, 1837. 'What are you doing now?' he asked, 'Do you keep a journal?'-- So I make my first entry today." Thus begins Thoreau's Journal, made up of more then two million words and covering about twenty-five years of his life. No other work of Thoreau's better exhibits his discipline as a writer and his devotion to the natural world. In the Journal can be found the fragmented foundations of masterpieces such as Walden, A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers, The Maine Woods, and Cape Cod. But what is perhaps more interesting to a reader of Thoreau's Journal are his thoughts and insights on topics such as friendship, love, religion, nature, bravery, heroism, war, slavery, the art of writing, and, most important to Thoreau, the art of living. Anyone with any interest in Thoreau will find his Journal to be an invaluable aid in understanding and following the life of one of America's most profound prose writers

This is one of the most beautiful books I've ever seen. I wish they would have given details on the printing process for this book. I've never seen such vibrant, sharp, photographs in a book. They look almost as good as professionally done prints on photographic paper. As for the artistic merit of the photographs themselves, they are wonderful, something to get lost in.

The characters are three boys, a Mom and Dad. The boy's names are Marty Junior, Mark, and Marshall. Marshall is the youngest he is 12. It takes place on a farm near Fort Smith, Arkansas. Thats way over by the Oklahoma boarder. Durring the summer of 1967. I think it is a very good book because it is one of those you can tell what happens next and I like it alot. I also like the chareters that are in it, like J.T.T.

Not a biographical sketch of Thoreau in a typical sense, but in a poetic one. Every word Thoreau wrote was essential, and Robert Bly has selected rich, complex prose selections from "Walden" and other writings, along with Thoreau's little-published poetry, to shine light into the soul of one of our most important American writers. Beautifully illustrated with woodcuts, a careful positioning of text on the page - simple, elegant, compelling. Bly's comments on Thoreau's writings and life, and on the contexts in which Thoreau can be seen, provide an excellent structure to his large body of work, and a wonderful guide to further reading. If we had all started our high school readings of Thoreau with this book, there would be no market for the current plethora of books on simplifying life. Our "Waldens" would be well-worn. It's all here, simply, beautifully, essentially
