Excerpts from the Wapsipincon Review (2002/03 issue), book reviewed by Floyd Pearce. "This book is an excellent sampler and, for many, could provide an introduction to these distinquished poets. You don't read poetry? Try these poets! If you are as tired as I am of swagger and irony a la mode of so many modern poets, welcome to the farm."

This book features the poetry of Paul Engle (Robert Dana), William Stafford (Denise Low) and James Hearst (Scott Cawelti) with a foreword by Iowa farm poet Michael Carey. This book is a companion edition to the 5th Harvest Lecture held October 17th, 2002 which dealt with poetry, landscape and popular spirituality.

Printed in June, 1976, Pigeons From Hell is in excellent condition. I intend to continue to preserve it. Actually, the story Pigeons From Hell is but one story amidst a set of Robert E. Howard short stories. My interest was in tracking down the original novel which inspired what most critics seem to maintain as the greatest installment among the 67 Thriller TV show (1960-62) episodes. The purchase was economical, of the highest quality and punctual.

I've been hunting for this book sine it was released in 1988, and I was recently lucky enough to acquire a signed edition of the hardcover. All I can say is that it was worth both the wait and the search.

Pigeons From Hell is adapted from the classic Robert E. Howard short story by artist Scott Hampton. The story is a pretty straightforward southern-gothic ghost tale, with a little gore thrown in for good measure. Howard's prose is some of his best, and Hampton's art is breathtaking. His dark, moody paintings evoke a sense of isolation and terror that had me totally drawn into the story. I couldn't stop reading. The book also contains a foreward by noted horror author Ramsey Campbell. Highly recommended for horror fans!

I teach a class for the University of California in their Web/IP Engineering program. I use this book as one of my texts because it's cross-platform and it has enough technical detail to really explain the complex art of optimizing a site. It's 1999 but the book is still relevant!

this book really helped me a lot with setting up my personal and company web sites. read this book, it will make your day!

all you look for uveitis is abook like this!!

Actually I am in my third year of residency in ophthalmology,I had the chance to attend to the annual meeting of the opthalmology society in my city, it was an extraordinary opportunity in many instances, I met to several subspecialists in my profession one of them gave us a conference about uveitis it was so interesting like the simplicity to speak about subjects that are "difficult to learn", I waited at the final of the conference to talk to the doctor and he kindly told me and show me his secret... the book Uveitis: Fundamental and Clinical Practice, I had already the chance to read a couple of chapters of this book and its certanly unvaluable. I truly recomend this book to each one of the beginning residents.

I've read other Alan Hess books- Googie come to mind. I really enjoyed Hess's style for this book. Alan Hess writes an occasional column for the San Jose Mercury News concerning architecture. He did not leave me disappointed with this book. It was evident that Alan Hess enjoyed this place as much as I did on my last visit to Sin City!

This book came out in 1993. If you're looking for information on the newer hotels that have sprung up, the ones that came and left during then and now, you won't find it here. You will find details about the ones that were imploded during the 90's, which was a nice resource for those of us that were curious about the Sands, Dunes, Hacienda and the Aladdin. It's also an indication of just how much the strip has evolved from the timeline of the publishing of this book and what is the strip looks today, year 2001. An excellent study of the architecture changes of Vegas and its reflections on the rest of the U.S.

If you buy one book about the colorful history and architecture of the Golden Age of Las Vegas to the present, THIS IS IT!!! This wonderful book is expertly researched with many many old drawings, postcards, photos, and more!

This collection contains one Orson Scott Card story that you can't get anywhere else: Angles. The short story Angles is interesting enough by itself without the added bonuses of Orson himself reading Homeless in Hell, and many other readings by famous authors and members of Card's family. The story angles has really interesting and believable ideas about memory, what is involved and what some possibilities are. If you love OSC, this collection is a must get!

There are of course many editions of Burns's poetry available, but sadly most mass-market editions seem more concerned with perpetuating some kind of twee, Brigadoony version of Burns and Scotland. Of the ostensibly scholarly paperback editions of Burns, however, I have not seen anything that comes close to Andrew Noble and Patrick Scott Hogg's for comprehensiveness, annotation, and context. Noble's introduction is brilliant and takes great care to rehabilitate Burns's image by taking him out of the hands of St. Andrew's Society sentimentality and resituating the poet in the political and social climate of his time. Burns was politically radical, sexually promiscuous, and intellectually engaged...all qualities that are effaced by the defanged, Burns supper bardie image that has been so popular with many Scots and Scottish-Americans alike. If you're seriously interested in Burns as a man and a poet, this is the edition you should own. If you want something to dust off once a year on January 25th (along with your kilt, sporran, and bagpipes), go buy one of the editions with the tartan cover.

It provides some fundamental definitions/distinctions which are extremely important. The section on Pastoral Counseling and Maturity helps to give you an understanding of basic spirituality. Some areas were more of the same from counseling skills standpoint. But sections relating to the different ministries within pastoral counseling were very helpful by providing basic structure. Overall it is very comprehensive, prepares you for sessions, and give you a good historical base (theoritical and Spritual). It is worth purchasing it a good resource as well as just beginning.

"Come discover the treasures of Crawdad Creek" - that is what it says on the back of the dust jacket. It is a simple invitation, but it opens up a wonderful world to children.

With today's busy schedules, kids don't have time to just be kids. This book is a reminder of the treasures to be found in the world around us and that we need to let children have the freedom to explore it.

The story is sweet and fun, but the beautiful illustrations are what make this book truly remarkable.
