Great Book
Great book, it grabbed my attention from the first few pages and couldn't put it down. What a great story!

best seller of the future
Though I'm not one to read a novel (I prefer non-fiction), I found this story to be so close to real life that I could not put it down. Entirely involving! Off the pillow and on the edge of my bed all night...what a good read!!!

you think you are crazy --but you are not
Every woman knows the phenomenon--you scream at your kids, you fight with your husband, you eat potato chips by the bag, everything your boss says makes you see red--what is going on????

You go for professional help and the nice shrink says "Here, take these pills for depression or these tranquillizers." And, sure enough, two weeks later you feel great and believe the shrink is a miracle worker. But guess what--it's just your menstural cycle. You're going to be screaming at your kids and fighting with your husband all over again in a few days if you don't read this book and find out what you really need to do is to get on top of your hormones. The way it's explained here, it's not that hard. You need to watch your diet, especially caffeine, alcohol and sugars (the things we automatically turn to!); you need to see a doctor for natural (not synthetic)hormone replacements in some cases; but most of all you need to understand that while you are trying to get on with your life, your body has its own agenda. This book is packed with useful information and is upbeat and easy to read. In short, it's a lifesaver, whether you are a teenager just starting your menstrual cycle or a middle-aged lady still going through the motions.

A REAL LIFE SAVER!
This book helped save my sanity. It is concise and tells you everything you need to know to get real relief once & for all.

ADVENTURES BEYOND THE SOLAR SYSTEM: PLANETRON AND ME
Originally purchased this wonderful book for my son when he was four years old. It taught him basic information about our solar system that I mistakenly thought he was too young to understand. The data was presented in an informative and entertaining way. The book that I purchased came with a cassette tape and he was able to read along. He read and re-read the book so many times that he wore out the binding. The story is of a young boy who is befriended by "Planetron." As I remember, Planetron, a robot, takes him on a tour of the solar system. The book is colorfully illustrated with pictures of the planets and sun. Information about each celestial body is displayed with the picture. My son is 19 years old now and recently mentioned that it is the one book he really remembers and would like to keep as a momento of his childhood.


Analytical Lexicon of Navajo

Indispensible
This book is not terribly easy to use. But that's because Navajo is not terribly easy to speak -- or (looking at it the other way) to analyze. So I caution readers that they should spend some time learning the organization of the lexicon before they expect to be able to use it fluently.

However, this book is /the/ must-own book for anyone who studies Navajo language or culture. Its thoroughness (somewhere over twenty-five thousand entries, I think) is astounding.

A Must-Have For the Old-Time Radio Fan
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.

Heartwarming
This wonderful story about a boy and his horse shows that special bond that can exist between a person and an animal. The illustrations enhance the story. Our family read an article in the Randolph (Vermont) Herald that tells the real story of John and Tom.

Author's Addendum
Since The Joshua Line has been in circulation, I've been getting feedback by some who are intrigued by the idea implied in the story that among the human qualities necessary for the survival of our civilization is that of being able to meet violence with violence. That would seem to be the case in this story. As it turns out, the tool of choice at the beginning and at the conclusion of the novel is a rifle. One would hope that civilization would eventually get beyond that, but for now.......? Bill Morgan, Author

Foundation for Study of the Iroquois League
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!


The Little Blue Brontosaurus
Published in Library Binding by Caedmon Childrens Books (1983)
Authors: Byron Preiss, William Stout, and Don Morgan

Average review score:

When it's over, you'll be a "little blue!"
Forget "Jurassic Park," "We're Back!," or "Land Before Time" I through VII. For a truly wondrous dino-adventure, dig up a copy of "The Little Blue Brontosaurus."

The voice-acting is stellar, and the music and sound effects pull you right into the lush jungles of the early Cretaceous Period!

When Li'l Blue faces off against the mighty Gorgosaurus, I had to cover my eyes, even though it was only an audio tape!

When I was younger, the adventures of Li'l Blue made me wish for a pet Brontosaurus!

You'll never look at (or listen to) herbivorous thunder-lizards the same way again.
