You would get a hernia trying to carry this around to antique malls. This book weights at least 5 lbs.

It is well laid out with a section on how to use the book. Most of the pictures are black and white with special designated sections called "Colour Review". There is a periods and styles chart. And lots of advertisements with phone numbers. Various disciplines are covered; some are Irish antiques, carousel animals, Poole pottery, majolica, and ceramics, and French provincial furniture.

I actually obtained it for the section on glass. There are several good descriptions and trademark displays. It mostly targets 18th and 19th century glass. I would like it more if this book had described production methods. However it does cover what it promised "Prices"

This book is a fasinating child's book with spectacular pictures os skyscrapers. Ryan Ann Hunter has written other wonderful books such as Cross a Bridge and Dig a Tunnel. I took one look at this book and bought it for my six year old daughter. I would recommend this book to anyone who's son or daughter is interested in building or artitecture. I give this book five stars!!!!!

This book in question, i.e.,Negro In America a Bibliography
by Elizabeth Miller (Author), A fine bibliography that will need the meet of both accomplished scholars and beginning students alike will find this bibliography instructive whether for quick reference or for extended reading. Highly Recomended.

Library Journal's review of this guide: "Combining encyclopedic coverage of destinations with loads of practical information and atlas-type maps, the series illuminates the wonders of nature but emphasizes the peculiarity of a place's people and their folklore."

Mr. Miller does a great job describing Seneca Falls, NY in the mid to late 20th century and gives a great perspective of the emotions and thoughts a young man goes through growing up. Let alone the wonderful look at the suffrage movement of the United States and the forces that led them. A must read for someone looking for the connection of the suffrage movement and how it has affected modern day man.

I studied this book for about 1 month and is giving me a clear understanding of the verbal part in the SAT. This will explain almost all of the stuffs you may need to know for your upcoming SAT as well as some tips. I highly recommend this book. Good luck on the test!

Good book, but not too challenging. It can be used from the very beginning of first grade. It is not quite challenging enough for gifted students or for end of the year use. It makes a great math center tool.

This book helped my first graders solve word problems. I began the first weeks with reading it and drawing the problem together and then they were able to do some of the problems by themselves. I also like the book because it concentrated on phonics and sentence writing.

This book is a wonderful book; I love it! But...

I'd have to admit (and this is hard for a hardcore fan of Myst and everything D'ni) this has to be the worst Myst book in the series. And that's not bad; the other two were the best books I've ever read. And this is a good book in its own right, but overall it does not live up to the high standards the other two put upon it. The beginning was a bit 'disorienting' as one of these fellow reviewers put it, and you had to read it over again to actually let it sink it where the characters were and who the characters were. The middle was absolutely wonderful, with its descriptiveness of the Terahnee culture, and it moved on quite well from there. But...

The ending, although a great one, was incredibly succinct, almost to the point of completely killing the story. It was almost as though the authors, who have taken monthes before to do the extensive plot, took a week to rap it all up. I felt as though I was gypped, and after reading all of the series, the hundreds of pages, building up to a point...I was angry. The ending was good, but it could have been written better. And, hopefully, the authors know this. I'm not going to even blame the analytical Atrus stepping out of character. And I still love the series. And I have read worse books, believe ME on that. But this book could have been better. And that's kind of sad.

On another note, even after all of this bad press, this book is still worth buying, if only to finish off your Myst collection.

With every new book of Myst seria, as Atrus is growing older and wiser, we are more and more introduced to the history of D'Ni. In all of us there is a little wish to be special, to explore and to create, and all of that we can find in the people of D'Ni - a proud, wise and inteligent people.
Finally, in this book, Atrus has found survivors of the accident wich happend in D'Ni 70 years ago and with them he's trying to rebuild the city. It's not an easy task, but he has more and more helpers each day, and, as always, there is Catherine at his side. During the repairs of the city, they have found an old chamber filled with books and writings on some ancient language, different and familiar at the same time. As they link to explore that age, the adventure begins...
A book you shouldn't miss, and it's even better if you have read 'Book Of Atrus' and a 'Book Of Ti'anna'.

Myst The book of D'ni is very interesting book. It was intriguing and easy to read. This book is about how master Atrus and his wife, Catherine, survivors of fallen D'ni came back to rebuild a once beautiful city.

Traveling form one age to another, Atrus and Catherine were looking for survivors, who were willing to go back and help rebuilt the D'ni. Every age differ from each other and not in every age Atrus were able to find survivors, but every survivor took the offer and moved back from the ages they once escaped for survivor. One of the ages that Atrus and his helpers visited was an age of Terahnee - the world of utopia were everything is perfect, the world they only could imagine, with spectacular waterfalls, lush fields, rich music, and astonishing architecture. But is the world as Atrus and others saw was real or what they though it was? Finding out the truth about Terahnee made change Atrus and his helpers mind.

I enjoyed reading this book. It was intriguing and easy to read.

This book isn't for people who want in-depth coverage of schizophrenia. It's very conversational, written as a series of interviews, and is meant to introduce people who've been diagnosed with schizophrenia or who have found out that someone they know is schizophrenic, and has no idea what it's all about. As an introdruction to the disease, how it affects people, the medications prescribed, etc., it does a pretty good job of being informative without being scientific, and avoids being dumbed down. But for people who already know about schizophrenia, the contents should be familiar.

As a member of the general public I found this book very
enlightening as much of it exposes schizophrenia from the perspective of those who have the disease. It shows the disease
as it filters through a variety of personalities. It also aims
to help patients cope with their problems by offering much
helpful advice about dealing with their medical as well as everyday lfe problems. It was very easy to read and has broken down many stereotypes I had about schizophrenia.

Understanding schizophrenia is a difficult task. By reading this wonderfully written book, the reader can enter into this world and develop an appreciation not only for the complexity of this illness, but it also provides direction and inspires hope.

Reading this book about Calder's work makes me want to bend a wire clothes hangar into nifty loops and spirals ... just for the fun of it.

Calder's art is BIG TIME fun, on every scale from immense graceful outdoor sculptures to strikingly elegant necklaces and pins. The book shows the variety of his creations...tapestry motifs, silver and brass cutlery, campaign posters. Check out his clever pull toy for a toddler.

Mobiles is probably Calder's most familiar category of work, but his playful menagerie, including a kangaroo, an elephant, a giraffe, a big bird and a flock of origami-size birds is his most endearing.

Photos and narrative, together, convey the wit and warmth of the sculptor. They offer opportunity to meet Calder, his wife, and their circle of friends.

Calder, by fine example, inspires one to lighten up and love it. This book is written permission to do exactly that, be it, high brow, low brow or no-brow.
