This was a required textbook for one of my college classes and it was such a good book that I still use it today as a reference (over 13 years later). In fact, I refer it to people quite often. The material is presented in a logical way that makes it easy to learn.

This book is really good for the beginers, but the language is little hard for the beginers !! thats it

This book has great ideas to use in your math classroom to motivate your students! It covers a wide range of topics within mathematics, even how to incorporate writing into your curriculum. These activities relate math to situations outside of the classroom. I would HIGHLY recommend this book to any new teacher, or even an experienced teacher.

Humor helps healing, and this casette is perfect for the bed-ridden invalid. You simply can't keep from laughing!

One of the undisputed classic reference works for the old-time radio enthusiast, first published during the original wave of nostalgia over 25 years ago, "The Big Broadcast" lists many network and syndicated radio shows that ran in the timeframe of the 1920's-50s, more commonly referred to as "the golden age of radio". A great source for cast lists (if you can't put a name to a voice) with informative articles on genres and more technical matters (sound effects, "independent" networks, etc.). This type of thorough reference work is usually frustratingly hard to find for the old-time radio. This book has been out of print for years, and when you found a copy of the first edition, you could expect to pay premium prices, especially if the seller knew what he had. The introduction, by radio comedian Henry Morgan (not to be confused with the guy who played Colonel Potter on "MASH"), is a beauty.

Outstanding account of this period in history. Mr. Morgan's reputation of a conniving thug are dispelled. This is a fun and informative book.

Lewis Henry Morgan was actually an attorney in Rochester, NY and practicing law around the time of the Civil War. But he is famous for his contribution to the science of anthropology, known especially for establishing the study of kinship systems and for his theory of social evolution.

His work with the Iroquois Nation was extensive; he was even adopted by a clan of the Senecas for his achievements in bridging the terrible gap between the native American nations and the US.

Much about native America would have been misunderstood or lost had he not written his journals, and his development of kinship systems set the foundation for anthropological work ever since.

The artwork in this book is stunning. The portraits are alone reason for having this book.

I've had this book since 1983. I've worked off and on with Unix, mainly as a technical writer using a Unix text editor. This book has *never* let me down. It's easy to follow and it's packed with relevant examples. It's great as an introduction for newcomers and also as a reference for those who have had exposure to Unix.

I read this book for my Classic Ethnographies seminar at school. It is by far one of the most interesting ethnographies I have had the pleasure of reading. It combines ethnography with history and gives the reader a good overall view of the Iroquois. I can't recommend this book enough. If you only read one book on the Iroquois, this should be that book!

Victor Turner is one of the great names in anthropology and this is a classic work of analysis of social rituals. He takes van Gennep's theories on rites of passage to a new level, examining how different elements of festivals and rites function.

I must be romping through my third childhood because I still love this classic equine tale about the founder of a truly
American breed of horse. I enjoyed it now just as much as when I was young; Henry's story holds up with successive readings
since the human emotions are sincere, and the dramatic events are true. The young protagonist, Joel, has a passion for horses; as a young man he dreams of finding his beloved, Lil Bub, the first Morgan colt whom no one wanted.

Even more, this is a story of Vermont--famous for its Green Mountains and courageous patriots--during the War of 1812. Later on in the story we witness a brief but triumphant presidential visit, where the Morgan horse was publically recognized.

Plenty of dialogue, short chapters and excellent b/w sketches by Wesley Dennis combine to give us a delightful gallop into the Yankee past. No one knows for certain who sired the "little" colt, whom only a poor boy could admire, but tales of his racing speed and pulling strength quickly made him a local legend, with farmers eager to get stud rights. Like BLACK BEAUTY this book is written for kids and horse lovers of all ages. PS: Because they are so strong and fast, Morgans are used in the National Park Service.

The story line is very lovely, a book about the strong bond between a boy and the sire of a truely noble breed of horses: the Morgan. It is based on a true story. Readers should be warned that some of the characters are made out to be very steriotypical Vermont poor folk *limited vocabulary and wearing scraps of leather for shorts, ect. ect. ect.* and may be offended by such. I myself have heard several complaints on this. However, the overall effect does present a believable story. Worth looking into.

This book was pretty good,but could be compared to King of the Wind and Born to Trot.This book was a good book,but not the best of Marguerite Henry's books.King on the Wind and Born to Trot are much more exciting to read.All in all,I liked the book,but found it boring in some parts.I am still a faithful M.H. reader.
