Little ones can love math!

Each activity helps to instill an appreciation for mathematics and emphasizes mathematical discovery. If all young children had the opportunity to experience these activities, we would have fewer adults afraid of mathematics!

I recommend this book to all fiction readers and I look forward to future stories by Will Hallawell. Look out Steven King.......

This is a very well-informed and in-depth technical referenc
Unlike many books of this genre, Managing Windows NT server 4.0 is a well thought out analysis of each component of Windows NT server and how they interrelate. Rather than skim the surface, this book plunges head-first into the depths of the operating system to increase the reader's understanding of Microsoft's flagship product.

Examples of this include the chapter on Disk Administrator, which stands out as a sterling example of technical reference. Clear, concise and revealing, it is a pleasure to read.

The command-line technical reference is also stunning in its depth, and often reveals more items than digging through the manuals.

In all, an excellent volume.


Pterodactyl Rose: Poems of Ecology
Published in Hardcover by Time Being Books (01 September, 1991)
Author: William Heyen
Amazon base price: $18.95
Average review score:

Poems evocative of conscience & consciousness.
This is a fine collection of poems which are rich in a meditative, ecological consciousness and conscience. These poems are not preachments. They are not tirades. Instead, the voice in these poems is a voice inside ourselves, a voice of imagination for which "time and distance avails not", yet, because we, and all with us, must live in our own nest, time and distance and the actions we take-whether careful or careless-also avails a great deal. There is a romance and a tragedy here-and a hope. These poems are worth reading, pondering, meditating.

You'll love the excitement when she plays for the President.
The best part of the book was when the President listened to HER solo and actually clapped for her. I really enjoyed this book and if you love music, I think you will, too.


Rose for Emily and Wash
Published in Audio Cassette by Caedmon Audio Cassette (1984)
Author: William Faulkner
Amazon base price: $14.00
Average review score:

Essential Faulkner
This is one of those books that are force on you at school. The basic story is of a Southern belle driven mad by isolation and her ties to the past. If this is your first reading of something representative of Faulkner this is the best example, as it is short and the story is intriguing. You can enjoy reading it for what it is and not have to analyze the thing to death. Even if you do not particularly cotton to Faulkner's style or subject matter, this book will transcend both. In 1982 they made this story into a movie with John Houseman and Anjelica Huston.

A powerful vision of Rapanui
"The Separate Rose" is Pablo Neruda's poetic tribute to Rapanui (also known as Easter Island), one of the most remote islands of the Pacific. Although many of the poems in this volume could stand on their own, this book is a truly unified work which should be read in its entirety.

William O'Daly has translated Neruda's Spanish into a simple but sensuous English free verse. In this bilingual edition, Neruda's poems stand side-by-side with O'Daly's excellent tranlations, making the book especially useful to English-speaking students of Spanish (or Spanish-speaking students of English). O'Daly's excellent introduction discusses the history and culture of Rapanui, and also discusses the background of Neruda's poetic interpretation of the island.

Neruda's poetry in "The Separate Rose" skillfully captures the complexity of the world of Rapanui. The poet's generous vision takes in both the motley tourists and the monumental stone sculptures that have made the island famous. In some of the book's most powerful poems, Neruda reflects on Lord Wind, the ancient deity said to have reigned over Rapanui.

And as always, Neruda demonstrates his command of poetic language. Whether describing airplanes as "enormous aluminum geese" (p. 15), reflecting on his own heritage as "apprentice to volcanoes" (p. 19), or addressing Rapanui as "cry / of the mourning petrel, tooth of the sea" (p. 51), Neruda always uses the tools of language in thought-provoking ways.

"The Separate Rose" is more than just an important part of a great poet's canon of writings; it is a moving reflection on a unique and timeless land.


Three by Tennessee Williams: Sweet Bird of Youth/the Rose Tattoo/the Night of the Iguana/3 Plays in 1 Book (Signet Classic)

Superb Compilation
A more suitable compilation than this will not be found. These three plays are arguably the essential core of the Williams canon, and certainly a great starting place for novices.

Sweey Bird of Youth is blessed with perhaps the finest epitaph ever in a modern drama, when the play's main character emanates Williams's legendary compassion with the concluding line, "all I ask is for the recognition of me in you, and time, the enemy, in us all." Shakespeare would have salivated.

Both the Rose Tattoo and Night of the Iguana exhibit Ibsen's impression upon Williams, as Williams incorporates brilliant metaphor's that wrap around both plays like knotted ribbons, but Williams's poetic language in each surpasses that of Ibsen by eons. Much in the vein of Ibsen's The Wild Duck or Chekov's The Seagull, Williams gives us a lesson in fate, freedom and human desire with his Iguana, tied to a post by a rope and struggling to escape, waiting to be killed as food, and he walks us through a world of intense nostalgia and heartbreak with the Rose Tattoo marking the chests of Serafina's lovers.

Even O'Neil, lauded by most as our finest American playwright, never quite matched the powerful language of the heart that saturates these three works of gritty, raw desire and nostalgia. Both of which, as Williams insists, take up plenty of space in the hearts of all.
