A facinating look at the most popular Doctor
Tom Baker, for being the most popular actor ever to portray Dr. Who, has also stayed out of the sportlight. This book combines episode guides with collected interviews to form a facinating look at Baker's era as the Doctor. Really THE essential book on Tom's era as the Doctor

A 'must have' for any Who fan
The book is simply marvelous. Packed with information and some never before seen footage, the book is a valuable source, reflecting on a decade that witnessed the show's birth. Just as important as 'The Seventies' and 'The Eighties.'

Mildred Walker - a great literary find!
I love Mildred Walker's writing. This is the fifth book of hers that I have read and it did not disappoint. She has such a way of bringing the reader into the minds and thoughts of the book's characters. Sometimes it is more what the characters do not say than what they do say that propels the story forward.

This book is about a perfect couple, Dr. Norton and his wife Sue. They have a rock solid marriage and then comes a devastating illness that strikes Sue. That changes everything, or does it? The story unfolds with the relationships between Dr. & Mrs. Norton, Mrs. Norton's sister Jean and all the med students and their wives. Not a lot of action, but I couldn't put it down, as the relationship stories unfolded.

Please give Mildred Walker a chance - she is a brilliant writer. My favorite book she has written is Winter Wheat, but I have loved all of her work that I have read so far.

Great text
I have to say that I had very little exposure to physics before I took the class that required this book. When I didn't understand anything in class (and that was often) I read the book and I found it to be the most readable text on PHYSICS of all things! The authors are GREAT at explaining things, and for students who have to buy this for a class or teachers who are thinking of using it, this is an AWESOME text.... It's really readable (and funny in a bunch of places) and explains the concepts really well. Or at least I understood them w/out having any extra help from teachers, class, or TA's.

GATEWAY: Dr. Thomas Walker & the Opening of Kentucky
This is a very well written, photographed and illustrated book that reveals many little known truths about the origins of Kentucky and the migration west through Cumberland Gap. It is a must read for all students of early Kentucky history. Virtually every other page contains either a map, illustration or beautiful photograph. The photography by world-renowned photographer, Adam Jones, is simply stunning! In truth, it is the photography of Adam Jones that first attracted me to this outstanding book. As a student of early Kentucky history, I consider this book in particular to be indispensable to understanding the truth surrounding the opening of Kentucky and all points west. This is a truly great historical work, replete with bibliograhical references, indicative of the author's extensive research. Therefore, I highly recommend it!

George Herbert Walker Bush: A Photographic Profile

An Insider's View of the Presidency of George Bush
I think Dave Valdez, President Bush's Official White House photographer, did an outstanding job depicting President Bush, the statesman, the family man, and the friend, beautifully in his book of pictures and very few words. Dave Valdez captures it all: from vital moments in world affairs, to lighter family times--all the while gaining an insight into George Bush, our 41st President. A wonderful coffee table book and gift book.

Imagine Bill Murray as a p.i.

Certain novels have that quality of sliding off the top of the head after being read. Expertly written and plotted, they have nothing more on their mind than entertaining you.

"Half the Truth" is just such a book. Chicago private detective Malachy Foley is a '90s kind of p.i.: hard-boiled but sensitive. He's got a knack for finding trouble, a desire to help and an ex-wife he would like to win back.

In this follow-up to David Walker's Edgar-nominated debut "Fixed in His Folly," Foley must find a college basketball player who went missing shortly after his roommate was drowned while apparently attempting to cross Lake Michigan in his sports car. As his search takes him from downtown Chicago to a Wisconsin military school, Foley encounters several pacifist-challenged men who have the same idea, and the case turns threatening when his client and ex-wife are kidnaped and held for ransom.

"Half the Truth" is a cat-and-mouse game with high stakes, punctuated by tense encounters that threaten to explode at any time. Sometimes, they do.

Walker's sequel was fun to read. Foley's strong desire to see justice done -- a trait common in mystery p.i.'s -- is tempered with unconventional ways of attracting attention from those who don't want to see him, whether tearing up one thug's fake parking ticket or doing exercises in a lawyer's high-toned reception room. If Bill Murray could adopt Foley's mournful demeanor, he'd fit this Second City p.i.'s M.O. to a tee.
