I am a huge O-Town fan, and Hangin' With O-Town is a great picture book that has tons of facts about each of the guys. After reading it you feel like you know the guys more, and you get a look at a bunch of their favorite things. It's a book every O-town fan should get!

I recently got the book Hangin with O-Town from Amazon and I thought it was wonderful! It has really good info on all five of the guys, and it also has really good pictures! The thing that I liked the most were it's live pictures from their concert in Cleveland, OH!! It is definatley worth 5 stars!!!

Wow - What beautiful photographs that capture the essense of each destination. Excellent information on ports of call throughout the Mediterranean - including, Egypt, Israel, Turkey, Italy, Spain, France, Greece, Morocco, Portugal, Spain and others. This book has a nice history section followed by a nice discussion of Art and Architecture. There are short descritions (and beautiful photographs) of various points of interest along the way -- as well as helpful maps of some of the ports of call. If you're looking for a cruise guide that concentrates on the Mediterranean desinations, this book is for you. If you're looking for a book about various cruise ships, this book is not what you're looking for.

There are so many guides available for Europe, but most of them do not address the cruise traveler. Anne Vipond has, finally, written a guide that is relavant to the Mediterranean cruise experience. Forget the voluminous descriptions of hotels and restaurants, for Anne concentrates on the ports of call and the activities available. Want to know where the ship docks in Naples (or any other port)? You'll find an excellent map of the port area along with attractions within walking distance of the port. The historical background sections are useful, and the book is organized in a very understandable manner. Aside from a good cruise agent, this book is a Med-bound cruise traveler's best friend! It is an excellent sequel to Anne's previous title, Alaska by Cruise Ship.

This book is great for beginning readers- not people who have been following him since 1997. Also, 2-3 chapters have nothing to do with him, just the BSB. Then again what AC book doesn't name the BSB, but 3 chapters is over-kill. This book has the basics and then somefun stuff like astrology and numerology and stuff like that. It has 8 pictures whihc are probably the highlight of the book. I enjoyed reading it but I already knew everything in there. If youdecide the pics are worth it, get it, but if you want to read something new pick up Aaron Carter: Little Prince Of Pop by jis mom/manager Jane Carter.

This book is about one of the most hottest young singers of our century. Of course this is must-have for all of his fans (like any information about him). And for sure for everyone who want to know about how Aaron in his young age - now with all his success. He made it with hard work all the way, not just luck. So, what else - buy this book without a doubt.

Inspiring work that shows how the human spirit can triumph through adversity.Beautifully and sensitively written.A modern masterpiece

I'm a mexican reader. Iwas at Toronto last year and I bought the Anne Michaels' book. I liked it very much 'cause contents the kind of poetry that I think is the best literature. She writes soft and deep ideas and images anda plays -like in a dream- with the words. I found a Michels' poems in the subway. So after I searched and found the book. I'd like to write to the author. Thanks a lot.

I started using this book in my philosophy classes as a supplement for student writing and thinking. The book uses Bloom's taxonomy to build student thinking and writing from the simply understanding what you are reading (being to able to paraphrase and summarize) to applying it, analyzing and evaluating it, and finally synthesizing it with your own beliefs. Edwards' explanations are short but very much to the point, and she includes examples both good and bad to clarify her ideas. Her basic belief I think is right on: the best way to understand a topic is to have to write about it. More people need to see this connection between thought and paper! Edwards never talks down to you either. This gives the basics principles clearly and concisely, and is an excellent way to improve philosohical thinking and writing!

This book is excellent. It belongs in the same category as Strunk and Whit's book on writing. It is only 106 pages long. But the author uses every inch to deliver sound advice about writing philosophy essays in particular and other kinds of essays in general. In seperate chapters, she explains and illustrates the different kinds of essays that are assigned in college philosophy courses: essays for understanding, application, analysis, evaluation and systhesis. She even discusses how to research philosophy problems and take philosophy exams. She must have worked very hard to pack so much sound advice into such a slim volume. Any philosophy student who "understands" and applies her principles will enhance his GPA dramatically. This book should be required reading in every undergraduate and graduate philosophy course.

As an elementary school media specialist, and a Summer School Space Camp Captain, I was introduced to this wonderful paperback in the Voyager Space Camp Kit. As an introduction to colonization of Mars, the book gave my summer "astronauts" inspiration to build their own colonies. An excellent reference about "terraforming" the Martian planet, this book provides information in a simple format that students can readily understand, and begin their dreams of space travel. I plan on adding it to my school library in the Fall.

I have owned this book for 7 years now and it has helped me several times... I have been able to look up symptoms that I am experiencing and been able in most cases to read a diagnosis that was later confirmed by my doctor... This book is a middle-of-the-night lifesaver, when you are feeling ill but not sure how serious it is. Because of this book, I have self-treated a minor skin rash, as well as taken myself to the emergency room for treatment of kidney stones. The authors offer self-care suggestions when appropriate, but also clearly indicate when you should seek the advice of a professional. I hope that you will consider the purchase of this book as important as the purchase of health insurance.

Beautiful color pictures on the front cover and a chance to read about and color the butterflies on the inside. You should buy a set of colored penciles for this color book. Your child can identify the butterflies by the picture on the cover and learn more about them in the book. A real nature guide, not your run of the mill coloring book. Buy the series and you can sneak in an education on nature while your child is having fun.

If you're looking for a comprehensive and informative guide to Caribbean ports, you won't go wrong with this guide. You can save money by avoiding the cost of ship-sponsored shore excursions, and you'll be more informed when you reach your destination. Anne Vipond provides a good outline of information for each port, including ideas for unique or interesting activities for that location. There is plenty of information about availability of taxis, public transportation, and ways of getting to specific places. There is also a map of most port locations that will allow you to develop your own walking or taxi tour. The "Best Beaches" section for each port identifies your best bets for sun and sand. This guide book is well-organized, very readable, and small enough to carry with you in a purse, belt pack, or back pack (not small enough for most pockets, however). Highly Recommended!
