Angel and Me and the Bayside Bombers, by Mary Jane Auch is a great book for kids ages 8 to 9 years old. This story includes amusing characters and situations that kids can relate to. I think everyone has been in a situation where you realize you don't know as much as you think you do. What makes this such a wonderful story is that we find kids can learn about themselves and what they are capable of achieving when they put their mind to it.

I think that Jane Eyre was almost the best book. The only problem was the ending. All her life Jane has gotten the short end of the stick. Why for once can't this go her way? Why can't she have a normal husband? Why can't she have a break for once?

Slip a copy of "Cocktails and Murder on the Potomac" into your briefcase when you board your train home for the holidays. When you finish, give it to that young teenage niece of yours who always has her head in a book.

International intrigue, murder and mayhem amid oil rich Arabs is ferreted out in Washington, D.C. night spots by a cluster of friends. Bright and engaging, they all are connected to the international community because of their occupations. Their relationship with the police harps back to the trusting times when Miss Marple solved her mysteries.

Devoid of gratuitous violence, the story keeps you turning pages with its twists and turns. Do not leap ahead to the end or you will spoil the fun! Characters sporadically recap the situation which proves helpful since a lot of action is covered in this rather brief book.

If you live in or have visited the nation's capital, you will have the special treat of following the characters as they thread through the city pondering the enigma of a disappearance and subsequent murders. Many of the short chapters take place in familiar and beloved haunts: the Cosmos Club, Georgetown uiversity, the Kennedy Center and Politics and Prose Bookstore. Mouth watering menus from DC restaurants and the sleuths own kitchens would make this a must for those of us who simply enjoy eating.

Good book! Shows you how to tend to your flowers and make your arrangments last.

The recipies are not that hard to do if you have all the ingredients. Most likely you will have to get your sweet stuff from a health food store.

I found this book to be extremely helpful for the Florida gardener who actually leaves on the beachfront and the gardener who lives further inland.

This book is easy to read and extremely informative, especially for the Florida newcomer who is beginning to realize that you just can't grow that northern favorite down here.

This book was filled with anecdotes and anthropological points of view of the history and cultures that created these dishes. What I found very useful about the listings was that each recipe was put into its own country category, and sometimes even it's city of origin. It had many recipes that were not mainsteam, restaurant fair, but more the home-cooking of latin american people, which I like. I also liked the fact that they used chiles that are not found in the US, but gave you substitutions of chiles that are available there.

Truly a wonder. Not only is it full of useful information, well organized, thorough, and insightful - it's readable!!! For once, I could not put a book (other than a novel!) down! The author kept my interest alive with the excellent use of the language and the ability to keep even sub-sub-sections organized and to the point.

I turned to this book because I'm writing an evaluation of Washington State's substance abuse prevention efforts during the last few years, and my boss requested that I analyze it from the perspective of the public health model. I needed a review, and this book provided exactly what I needed.

I especially enjoyed the open, honest statements in the preface about how difficult it was to define public health during the author's involvement in establishing the School of Public Health in the University at Albany. The book is a delight to read and oh-so-useful.

Mary Waldron discusses each of Jane Austen's major novels in a separate chapter. Her views sometimes differ from those of other well-known critics, but her reasoning seems sound. For example, many critics believe that Jane Austen failed in her portrayal of Fanny Price in MANSFIELD PARK by making her too good. Waldron argues that Austen knew exactly what she was doing and that a careful reading shows that Fanny is not as good as she appears on the surface. The famous Austen irony is at work in Fanny's character.

Waldron, thankfully, refrains from Marxist, feminist, and Freudian critical readings of Austen's texts. She uses no incomprehensible jargon. Perhaps she is part of a trend. We can hope.
