Keep Looking Up!
The principles outlined in this book which helped Jerry Dunn to escape the hold of alcohol on his life are applicable to ANY dependence or additiction a person may have. The book reads well and holds your attention. You see, I have known Jerry personally for the past 20 years. I was fortunate enough to marry into his family and have had the pleasure of knowing that he did not merely "write" a book about what one should do, he lived it out in his own life. What a testimony! Thank you Jerry Dunn!
Amphibians and Reptiles of the Carolinas and Virginia

Great way to learn about what you see
I love this book. We see a snake in the woods, and take note of as many characteristics as we can, then look it up later to learn more about it. Same with frogs, toads, lizards, skinks! The actual information provided for each reptile is slim but very interesting. This is a great book to have if you spend any time in the wild in Virginia.
Highly recommended
I've had and used this book since it came out in 1980. I always recommend it to all of the classes and seminars I give on reptiles and amphibians and to all of the people who ask for a good field guide because, for the size and cost, there are none better for this part of the country. Well worth the money if a handy, accurate, well-done field guide with great photos and range maps is what you want.
The Case of the Talking Rocks (Danny Orlis, No 5)

Interesting and good
I have read a few others in this series. This one is probablymy favorite out of the ones I've read. It's pretty intriguing,athough it's been a while since I read it so I kind of forget whathappens! I want to read it again sometime. These books are aChristian adventure series, and worth reading, especially for kids andteens. They sort of remind me of the Hardy Boys. (I'm 17 years old,now, and read the Danny Orlis books from when I was 12-15.)
Curriculum Connections : Picture Books in Grades 3 and Up

Teacher worthy
A wonderful collection of picture books, consolidated into one book that looks at third-grade books from an artistic point-of-view. The authors point out specific details that one may not have noticed at a first reading while helping to create ways to use the literature across the curriculum. If you're a teacher who uses "themes" in your classroom, or you're a parent looking for interesting ways to introduce literature from a new perspective, this book is an asset to your collection.
The Final Touchdown (Danny Orlis Adventure Series, No 1)

Great books, but religious
I read several Danny Orlis books when I was in high school (we won't mention how long ago that was), and I remember them being great adventure stories. Danny lived in a very remote world, near the Lake Of The Woods, Minnesota, and got into and out of various scrapes in the wild outdoors. The only drawback is that he is very religious, and well, for me that's a drawback. It's probably a plus for others...

The acting was great but the story went no where
I have to confess that I found Shaw's play a bit boring. While there are points to be had here I found the long scenes and prolonged dialogue a tad combersome. Of course Shaw's main point is to show that one can rise above one's social status in life and better himself if given the chance. All fine and good but the plot to this play drags for far too long. Higgins comes across a as an asexual wooden being which totally brings the story down. Eliza is too prudish for my taste and the rest of the characters are just bland. In most scenes people seem to be screaming at each other rather then trying to move the sstory along. It truly was a chore to get through this one. As for the acting, it was fine but working with such a lame script the actors didnt' much engage my Attention. No, I would have to say this is a miss from Naxos which otherwise produces excellent audio books. I haven't tried Naxos's other full cast productions but I will see. This book contains three CDs it is a full cast version with sound effects and music. The third CD contains notes regarding the play and speculations on what happened afterwards. I found it all rather dry.
