What an amazing woman! I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Jeanne Foster, and it brought back many memories of my early years in the "north country" before I retired and moved to Florida. The authors winter here in Venice, and they have given many interesting talks in the area about Foster and her famous friends, displaying diaries, actual letters to Foster from people like Ford Madox Ford and Ezra Pound, and drawings of her by William Butler Yeats's father. Recommended for lovers of biography and great stories.

This book is a great story of a truly "American" woman who was a friend to the world or at least to the world of artists,writers, and politicians. The biography has everything to keep a reader reading: beauty, poetry, intrigue, sex, passion mysticism, and sweetness. I wish I could have known this person called Jeanne Robert Foster.

Excellent story that describes the power, grace, independence and beauty of this awesome bird and simultaneously shows the perils all migratory birds face in this harsh world.

I read this novel when I was twelve and recall being swept away by the story and its fine prose style. This book made a real impression on me then, and I recommend it wholeheartedly to young adults, and to adults who love animal fiction of the kind written by Ernest Thompson Seton or Daniel Pratt Mannix. One of these days I will get the book from the public library and re-read it.

A very interesting book with all you need to know about the railroad, transcontinental or Robert Louis Stevenson. Very descriptive, Great Literature.

This is a brilliant synthesis of all that is good in British Crime Cinema. The essays are clear and well-focussed, and the referencing is excellent. Particularly well-written and pertinent to the present popularity of such films as Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is Claire Monk's essay on Crime and British cinema in the 1990s. The referencing to both earlier crime cinema and the wider genre of hip, cool trendy cinema directed at the 18-25 year old male with its additional sound track identity is worth reading for anyone concentrating on film studies. Both a good read and an excellent reference work.

Novel of a time gone past, your grandfather's youth. No thanks to the Congressional liberals of the last 40 years, this time can never occur again. A young man's climb from innocence to seriousness about his career, including unsurpassed descriptions of bird watching and mounting. A naturalists delight, and now unfortunately stricken from "modern shelves" and replaced by one parent travails, homosexuality, political correctness, and other sickening liberal garbage.

The collective and editorially collaborative effort of Kenneth L. Pernezny, Pamela D. Roberts, John F. Murphy, and Natalie P. Goldberg, Compendium Of Pepper Diseases presents highly detailed information on pepper diseases. Written especially for plant pathologists, agricultural scientists, and commercial horticulturalists (though also useful to amateur gardeners as well), Compendium Of Pepper Diseases features black-and-white and color illustrations enhancing extensive descriptions of diseases, symptoms, as well as recommended control measures or treatments. An excellent, in-depth resource, Compendium Of Pepper Diseases is commended to the instructional and reference collections of Agricultural Science collections.

Collaboratively compiled and edited by Montana historians Harry W. Friz, Mary Murphy, and Robert R. Swartout Jr. Montana Legacy: Essays On History, People, And Place is an impressive and informative anthology of sixteen essays discussing the various facets of Montana history ranging from birth control and prenatal care in rural Montana, to Montana's Clark-Daly Feud, to the Montana State Prison Riot of 1959. Black-and-white photographs and maps enhance this scholarly assessment of different aspects of the Montana's cultural and political evolution from the 1800's down to the twenty-first century. Montana Legacy is very highly recommended for American History reference collections, and especially Montana State History supplemental reading lists.

This book is a fantastic description on how a half hour sit-com is produced. It is wonderful with its behind-the-scenes looks and character/actor bios. Though it may be a little out of date (it was published during the second season), this is the only Murphy book around and it is well worth its money.

This is a practical handbook for the field or laboratory on normal and pathological variation in the skeleton. Its greatest utility is for anyone who wants to distinguish between normal and pathological skeletons particularly in a bioarchaeological context. I recommend this for all.

I just graduated from medical school and trying to become an Ophthalmologist. Since I am not an English speaking person, it is difficult to get informations in English. However, each sections and chapters of this book is well organized and helps me to get accustomed to the medical terms in Ophthalmology. This book is easier to understand than the text books written in Japanese (I am a Japanese).
