I love this book, I wont let my friends touch it. It's totallyworth the dollars, it tells you about the greatest NFL players ever. For example: Steve Young, the best left-handed Quarterback ever,and Jerry Rice, the greatest all-time wide receiver ever.

I extremely enjoyed reading this novel. It is very interesting and realistic. The novel included many of the topics a teenager can relate to. Also, by seeing how the main characters handle their bad situations, it can give guidance to a confused and scared teenager that may be faced with adult problems. Teenage love use to be innocent, but not anymore, and this novel proves it. Tish and Peter are the main characters in the book faced with reality. They are seventeen-year-old sweethearts that took things too far. Tish became pregnant and Peter refused to let her have an abortion. He proposed to her. They moved in together and Tish gave birth to a baby that they named Kate. Neither of their parents were supportive, so they both had to drop out of highschool to be able to make money, and college was just a "frustrated dream". I urge all young people to read this novel and to learn, learn from Tish and Peter's mistakes.

This rather large format book has been out of print for some time. However, its one of the best of its kind. It presents a wealth of detailed photographs of operational life within the Legion's units. Those colour plates follow each step in the recruiting, training and operational deployment process for a legionnaire. The author had the full support of the (normally quite secretive) Legion in preparing this pictorial history. That level of support shows up in the quality and scope of this book. Beyond the book's pictorial focus, its editorial content and Legion history material provides an overall balance to the work.

In his book From Coronado To Escalante:The Explorers of The Spanish Southwest Dr. J.M. Morris told the story about Don Francisco Vazquez de Coronado's journey of 1540 to the present-day Southwest, and skillfully depicted the origins of this expedition. He used the accounts of the previous Spanish conquistadores like Hernan Cortes and Francisco Pizarro who before Coronado organized their "entradas" and subjugated the mighty Aztec and Inca empires. The author has also drawn the images of the people who participated in these adventures by portraying their ethnic and social status, and what motivated them to endure hardships such as fatigue, thirst, cold, and heat in the terras incognitas. As Dr. Morris followed every footstep of the Coronado conquistadores across the vast territories of Northern Mexico, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Kansas, he educated the reader about the types of landscape they encountered. The author not only pointed out the geographical terms of the landscape such as the Continental Divide, the Great Canyon or the rivers of Sonora, Pecos and Rio Grande, but he also linguistically enhanced the characteristics of that environment by providing the terms used by the Spanish explorers themselves like despoblados,"desolate, cactus-strewn wastelands", and the Llano Estacado, "Staked Plains",a part of the plateau streching across Northern New Mexico and the Texas Panhandle, to name just a few. The author introduced the reader to a variety of Indian cultures that the Coronado expedition encountered in its way. "The Zunis, the Opatas, the Hopis, the dwellers of the pueblos in the Rio Grande Valley, the Querechos of the buffalo plains, the Teyas of the barrancas and the Wichitas of Kansas" provide evidence of a diverse world of the America's indigenous population. Besides this ethnic diversity, Dr.Morris exhibited various attitudes of how Europeans were perceived by the Indians. The title From Coronado To Escalante is a timeline during which the power of the Spanish conquistadores declined (since gold was not found to be abundant) and the ascent of the Catholic Church missionaries began. Where the magic and attraction of the riches were gone, the abundance of the Indian pagan souls prevailed. Friar Silvestre Velez de Escalante and his small group in 1776 opened a new era in mapping the landscape of the Southwest that resulted in creation of more missions in that area, the monuments to the legacy of the Catholic Church of Spain. Dr. J. M. Morris book provides a focused, comprehensive narrative that makes the reader open the map of Mexico and the present-day Southwest in order to plot Coronado's trail as he or she reads about the Spanish explorers' adventures in search of gold, glory, and fame.

I really enjoyed this textbook. The authors of this book really did a good job making you enjoy math. I used to hate math, but this book was an exception. They greatly explain theorems and other things so you won't get confused. One way I liked this book was its many math related photos. Also if you are confused on a lesson they have answers in the back in the book to help you to check your work or give you answers to things you are struggling in. They also have in class lessons so you can understand the concepts you are about to learn in the lesson and homework. They also greatly explain how to do proofs, and everything that involves triangles and trionometry to statistics and functions. They give you reviews and self-tests with all the answers in the back of the book so you can master the information you have just learned in the chapter. Also, I recommend this to anyone who loves math, anyone who is ok or great in math, or anyone who justs wants to learn trigonometry. Finally, all the teachers I have ever had me use UCSMP this book have always loved the books, the material that the studnets grasp easily, and the benefits that the book gives over other textbooks.

"Grave Doubts" is ideal for preteens since it's short (153 pages), has a few effectively creepy black-and-white illustrations and a terrific surprise ending; yet it's complex enough to interest older readers as well. The other five books in this series worth checking out: "Night Wings" (#1), "Blood Wolf" (#2), "Alien Prey" (#4), "Dead End" (#5), and "Ghost Lake" (#6).

This is a superb and easy-to-use handbook, which provides subject access to bibliographies, indexes, and professional reference materials. This is a valuable guide for anyone developing children's and young adult literature collections. As a graduate student, I often use this excellent reference guide for research. I highly recommend this professional resource.
