I own all three of Prince and Collier's equestrian books, Basic Horse Care, Riding, and Training, and have found them to be very informative to a begining rider like myself. These authurs write in a manner that explains the content in an easy to understand way while not talking down to the reader. All three of these books can help a rider of any level understand the material and are the foundation of my collection.

This is an excellent book, it gives sensible knowledge gained from the authors' own experiences. While being in-depth it is not overly technical or overly specified. If you like this book it has two companions by the same authors, Basic Training and Basic Riding

A fantastic book on success! I found this book easy to read and refer back to it time and time again, it's a Gem in my collection. Thank you Wes, you've helped make a possotive differance in my life!

Just a great book. It really is an awesome read. You'll enjoy it, i swear!

Jill has many accomplishments to her name, but her skill as a true communicator is equalled by few.All her books work from the basic of learning to know yourself non-judgementally so you may have much deeper understandings of your horse, & anyone you have to deal with in the "real world" also. learning the lessons in all her books gives you the opportunity to have much more successful outcomes in any encounter-man or animal & leads you to a higher level of understanding yourself & what motivates. I've used her books as a reference for a communication skills seminar for fellow nurses I developed & Jill was of personal assistance on several occasions. We need more like her , Susan Harris ,Sally Swift, & jane Savoie

This is one of the most helpful books I own. It helped me to really bond with my horse on more than a physical level. It teaches you how to spend time learning your horse and discovering their hidden talents and personality traits. I highly recommend it

*The Book of Eleanor* is an intricately woven tale which takes us, thread by thread, through a web of deception and family secrets. The imagery of the lifestyle of this family as they wander from place to place, country to country, is convincing and disturbing. The young protagonist emerges from the turmoil which the family has perpetuated across generations, with a quiet resolve to face the secrets of her family, and begins an adventurous self-discovery. Like *The Poisonwood Bible* this is an absorbing story of quiet courage in adversity.

The Book of Eleanor is a well written, captivating story about learning some of life's most important lessons, and how our families and our youth shape who we are. Read the first page, and it is likely that you will not put this book down until its conclusion. This is a fine piece of work, and well placed with the likes of A River Runs Through it (Norman McLean), The Horse Whisperer (Nicolas Evans), or Animal Dreams (Barbara Kingsolver) .

This book pulls the pieces together with its thematic units that really go from bugs to bunnies! Its activities cross over with many areas of curriculum and I don't know how I would have approached animal units without it!

This book is full of enough fabulous ideas for science units for an entire year. They are cross curricular and developmentally appropriate. There are plenty of reproducible worksheets and bulletin board ideas.

I found this to be a surprisingly powerful book. It is a very unusual kid's book, well-written. At the end of the book I wanted to keep reading - to know more about the characters. The two boys whom the book is mainly about are well-drawn and true to life without being stereotypes. This is probably the best book Eleanor Spence has written. I'd definitely recommend it to anybody of high-school age (or older).

i loved this book because it shows the the clashes of behaviour within different societies.

I agree fully with Jane Eliosoff's review and just wish to add that this wonderful book should be required reading in high schools and colleges. One of its best features is that it is truly multicultural in its treatment of the "first wave" of the women's rights movement, even though this book was written before the word "multicultural" was coined.

This recent paperback edition of Century of Struggle, Eleanor Flexner's classic history of women's sufferage, has a splendid new introduction by her friend and collaborator Ellen Fitzpatrick, who relates the major events in Flexner's own life to Flexner's deep understanding of the complex social and political problem confronting 19th- and early 20th-century American suffragists. There is no better account than Flexner's of the dogged determination of US women to achieve their political aims, or of the genius of their political inventiveness in a time in which both law and custom were against women's full participation in civic life. The achievement of the vote for women was extraordinarily difficult, infinitely more so than most people realize. In her own preface to Century of Struggle, Eleanor Flexner quotes from Carrie Chapman Catt and Nettie Rogers Schuler: "Hundreds of women gave the accumulated possibilities of an entire lifetime, thousands gave years of their lives, hundreds of thousands gave constant interest and such aid as they could. It was a continuous, seemingly endless chain of activity. Young suffragists who helped forge the last links in that chain were not born when it began. Old suffragists who forged the first links were dead when it ended. . . It is doubtful if any man, even among suffrage men, ever realized what the suffrage struggle came to mean to women before the end was allowed in America."

Glen Canyon before Lake Powell is at once a beautiful and tragic book. It consists of a collection of photographs--mostly color--of the landscape now hidden beneath the eerie turquoise waters of Lake Powell, a vast man-made reservoir on the Colorado River near the Utah-Arizona border. Editor Eleanor Inskip has skillfully paired each photograph with quotations from those who knew Glen Canyon before the water began to rise on that fateful day in January 1963. Explorers, river runners, popular writers, archaeologists, historians, and environmentalists all find a voice in this extraordinary collection, but the work's greatest strength is nevertheless its images.

The book is neither strident nor moralizing in tone. Instead, a sense of quiet grief pervades. The photographs speak for themselves, as do the observations so eloquently captured in the accompanying quotations. In the end, the questions raised are unspoken but obvious: Who are we to decide the fate of an organism so alive and so vital as a river? What have we lost in our relentless quest for the "good life?" And can it in fact be a "good life" with the waters of the Colorado stilled? Inskip respects her readers enough to let them judge for themselves.

Admirers of Eliot Porter's famous The Place No One Knew, now out of print, will find this to be an appropriate companion volume. Very highly recommended.

Through carefully chosen photographs and comments of people who experienced Glen Canyon before it was inundated by Lake Powell, Inskip presents a moving portrait of sinuous sandstone channels, lush microclimates, and the favorite beaches we will never again view.

This is one of the few books published internationally on the subject. Dr. O'Leary views old age from several erspectives e.g. biological, psychological, social, and spiritual. Theoretical appproaches to the issues of old age are discussed. Comprehensive research and evaluation of three main counseling approaches are discussed in detail. Useful conclusions of their particular contributions are detailed.

This scholarly book is clearly and succintly written. The author is well known internationally in Gestalt Therapy. The chapter on reseach in Getalt Therapy is particularly useful in providing state of the art overview. New research methods are considered. This book gives a uselful outline of verbal and nonverbal techniques in Gestalt Therapy.

This large, bautiful and heavy (almost 10lbs.) volume, is in my opinion, the most comprehensive Volume on Dali available. I own at least a dozen Books, Catalogs and Biographies on Dali, and this is by far the best for the following reasons:

1.) Lavishly produced and well bound in Italy by a reputable Publisher of Art Books, Abrams.

2.) The text is by Robert Descharnes, an Art Historian, and is translated by Eleanor R. Morse, both of whom had long personal and professional associations, and also friendships with Dali. The brief text avoids "interpretations" of both Man and Art, but concentrates on descriptive information instead.

3.) The organization of each chronological section is well thought out. Each begins with brief texts and photographs of Dali, Gala, his friends and contemporaries. Also included are rare photographs of posters, contemporary reviews, articles, sources etc.

4.) Included are many excellent works not found elsewhere, and not only paintings, but also sculpture, montages, Jewelry and other "objects".

5.) For its quality and size, this book was, quite surprisingly, reasonably priced.

6.) Lastly, and most importantly, the reproductions of the paintings are excellent in color and quality. I can lay several of my Dali books side by side, and look at the same painting, and it will look slightly different in each one. I think the truest colors are in this book. What use is it getting a cheaper Book of Paintings if the colors are off? I think this is something all too often ignored. Always go for the best quality in Art Books.

Until a reasonably priced and edited Catalogue Raisonne becomes available, this is the definitive Dali Book to get.

If you liked "Dali: The Paintings" you will enjoy this similiar volume that features the works of Dali, an excellent index for easy access to his paintings, and photographs of his life. A volume well worth the money.
