A Great Way to Introduce Shakespeare
Although this book is out-of-print, taking the trouble to find it will be worth it. Charles Lamb gives concise summaries of the plots of three Shakespearean plays: Romeo & Juliet, The Tempest, and A Midsummer Night's Dream. There are a few big words, so it is best to read this book along with children, but the stories are short and exciting enough to hold attention. In addition, the illustrations by Judy Mastrangelo are some of the most beautiful I have ever seen. Shakespeare himself would have been proud.

The Bible of Civil War books.
This was arguably the greatest book that I have ever read on any topic. Not only was it a great account of General Willie T.'s life, but it also gave great insight into the real meaning of life. If anyone is looking for an answer to anything, then this is the book for you.

Excellent short book addressing sleep research pre-1980
This is an excellent book that sleep researchers, clinicians, health care professionals and the public can rely upon to learn about earlier times in sleep research and sleep medicine. It is written in a very engaging format, provides enough detail about "the basics" (for its time) and Dr. Dement shares many interesting stories about earlier projects. A very delightful short read which ought to remain part of the important history of sleep medicine. Thumbs up!

a timeless gem
Written in 1985, this collection remains an inspiration to haiku poets today.
Some notable selections (one from each author):

silent moon-filled night,
a thousand sand grains move
to make this footprint

the small scar
on her cheek
a dimple when she smiles

another whiskey
even the trout trophy
swims

A meta-analysis of leadership theory and common sense.
This is an excellent book which is written for busy school administrators.

The model is based on five domains: Authentic leadership; Visionary leadership; Cultural leadership; Quality leadership; and Service leadership.

While these domains may not be academically discrete, they are useful to practioners in the field.

The 15 performance roles of the Total Leader are a great guide for a principal's performance feedback. I have converted the 15 roles into a questionnaire which I will give to staff when we return to school after the summer vacation.

The classic case
If you are interested at all in alien abduction. Then you must buy this book. It tells the true story of two young men. Who were abducted by aliens over 40 years ago. Charles has appeared on national news programs along with the Johnny Carson show. His story has not changed in that time. Also there were several sightings of spacecrafts the night of their dissapearance. This is a very well known case.

A Fine Book About a Fine Unit
There were four Regular Army regiments recruited after the Civil War from the veterans of the US Colored Troops raised for war service. Two were infantry, the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth, and two Cavalry, the Ninth and Tenth. The Tenth Cavalry was mostly stationed in the west to keep order among the Native Americans who called them Buffalo Soldiers. There has been a continuing great interest in the deeds and motivations of these men in the face of rampant prejudice and social seperation. The Tenth's service has been perpetuated in the present order of battle of the US Army and there still is an active 10th Cavalry though it is now integrated.
This 1899 book was long out of print and the original is now a collectible. This facsimile reprint edition, with a new introduction added, should interest all those who study the War with Spain. In addition to a few introductory chapters on Negro's service from the Revolution to the Civil War, and a chapter each on the other three Black regiments, the book gives most coverage to the Tenth in Cuba. The 9th and 10th flanked the famous 1st Volunteer Cavalry, the "Rough Riders" at San Juan.
The original also has a commendatory introduction by the Cavalry Division commanding officer "Fighting Joe" Wheeler, who had been a Confederate officer in the Civil War. Most of the book is a collection of personal narratives interspersed with interviews with other commanders.
As an aside, Lt. John J. Pershing, later commander of the Punitive Expedition in 1916 and then the AEF in France, got his nickname "Black Jack" from his service with the Tenth.
