Cinnamon Wharf
Published in Paperback by New American Library (1989)
Author: Janice Young Brooks
Amazon base price: $4.50
Used price: $0.40
Collectible price: $2.64
Average review score:

Historical Romance At It's Best
Cinnamon Wharf is one of my favorite books. I've read it numerous times and each and every time that I read it I enjoy it even more. Janice Young Brooks creates a very believable portrait of Victorian gentry, and the travel chapters in the novel are simply fascinating, and very well researched I might add. The Beecham's are a family you will want to get in touch with again and again. Don't shy away from the listing of "romance novel" it's worthy of a much more distinguished categorical identity.

Classic Rhymes : Cowboy Poetry
Published in Hardcover by Cowboy Miner Productions (15 January, 1998)
Authors: Bruce Kiskaddon, Mason Coggin, and Janice Coggin
Amazon base price: $14.95
Average review score:

A great collection by the finest cowboy poet of all time.
Many of the poem in this book have been out of print for many years, and I'm glad they've been brought back to light. When you read his poems, you can smell the sage and hear the ring of the bell mare. If I could only keep one book, Kiskaddon's would be the one.

An excellent book for students.
The book was reprinted: I got mine through Mosby/Harcourt (publishers). Its an excellent intro book for pharm students in first or second professional year. Written at the appropriate level for students, I especially like the chapters on DI, labs, physical assessment and presenting patients. I looked around before I found a book I would recommend and even the students admit it seems worth $30 (truly a criteria that's is important). I intend to use it to supplement the traditional DiPiro or Koda Kimble books, since they lack the "principles" of solving problem sections.

Overall, I think its worth having.

My student enjoyed this book.
My students enjoyed this culturally informative book, but all my Spanish speaking students said in one voice, "MORADO" when I read the entry for Púrpura aloud. Other than this we enjoyed this book.


Colors of the Navajo
Published in Hardcover by Turtleback Books Distributed by Demco Media (1997)
Authors: Emily Abbink and Janice Lee Porter
Amazon base price: $12.40
Average review score:

Rich Colors of the Navajo World!
As you would expect, "Colors of the Navajo" is full of rich, color illustrations. Each page focuses on one color, much like an ABC book for colors. The illustrations on each page are predominantly in the color being described. The text beautifully teaches about one aspect of the Navajo World through each color. For example, "Turquoise" is used to share information about the history of silversmithing and the creation of jewelry with turquoise stones. "Red" is used to share the beliefs about sacred red ants and the use of sandpaintings in healing ceremonies. Although it appears to be presented in a simple form, the rich color illustrations will hold a child's attention long enough to read or listen to the rich historical and cultural information being given.

Thought provoking with a lot of inspiration thrown in.
It's amazing to me that a book like this takes so long to be discovered. The thoughts of the author are provocative, inspiring, and very helpful for people trying to come to grips with religaious views concerning animals. A good read. You'll get a lot of answers, but you may also develop a long list of new questions.

The Cosmos of Khnumhotep II at Beni Hasan (Studies in Egyptology)
Published in Hardcover by Kegan Paul (1999)
Author: Janice Kamrin
Amazon base price: $297.50
Average review score:

A Detailed Study
This study is not just a impressive and detailed description of the tomb of Khnumhotep II in Beni Hasan, but it includes some very interesting new methods of how to read tomb scene content. Instead of studying the scenes individually, Kamrin puts them in its context of the totality of tomb decoration, architecture and religious concepts of the time. Influenced by the scholarship of Barocas, Finnestad and Altenmuller, she sees the tomb chapel more as a local temple for ancestor worship built as a microcosmos of Egyptian cosmology, than just as a eternal dwelling for the dead. She also gives a good review of previous scholarship. The book is highly recommended for students interested iconography and egyptian ideas of the afterlife.
