I love this series! | I am a fan of historic novels--many of them either medieval or renaissance mysteries, some other forms of historic novel. This is one of the best series I've read yet, well-researched and so much more than just a 'murder mystery'.

If you only have one baking cookbook, this is the one! | After becoming vegetarian in 2003, I became much more conscious about adding whole grains to my diet, to the point of replacing white flour with whole grains whenever possible.

Easy, healthy, unique breads from around the world | Having recently relocated to San Antonio and finding a lack of bakeries, I purchased a Cuisinart convection breadmaker.

Love this book! | Cake and scandal – is there a better combination?<br /><br />Producer Mary Summers doesn’t think so.

Lots of Great Information! | What a handy resource to have! First of all, the size is small, but it's a well made small book. The pages are heavy weight & the cover is laminated. The font size is small, too, but it did not effect my ability to read it. I do have to wear readers to read anything these days as it stands!

Serious topic/beautifully done | Parent's of younger children should review this gorgeously illustrated and engrossing story as by its nature, it's very sad and includes experiences that could be too much for some children.

A supberb aid for math-o-phobes! | As a fan of Kevin, Winnie, and the gang in "The Wonder Years," I knew that Danica McKellar had majored in math at UCLA and graduated summa cum laude.

An invaluable guide to a timely encyclical | This little commentary/guide has been very helpful to our social justice study group as we consider Laudato Si'.

and more mundane matters like the expensive cost of living on the island even ... | Written in epistolary form, this text is a 19th-century Danish schoolteacher’s actual letters back home to his parents detailing his life in St Croix.

Worth every penny | I was familiar with DK guides because we used them when we traveled to Italy and to France several years ago.

Great for boys--and some girls, too! | I bought this book and its companion, "Oh, Yuck!" for my nephew for his 13th birthday.

THE F-117 NIGHTHAWK BOOK WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!! | There are alot of books on the F-117A Nighthawk, and most are repetative.

a great gift | I purchased this book and its two sequels for my ten-year-old nephew, who can read fairly well but is not enthusiastic about reading.

Another terrific book from Gladwell | "Outliers", like other Gladwell books, is very enjoyable.

Worthwhile even now | The reason I wanted to read The Communist Manifesto now is that I don't remember reading it in school and this current financial mess, called the Great Recession, seems at its core the result of greed gone wild, underpinned with our system of capitalism which seems to have in it the very incentives to bring on this exc... | 1859848982 | books | 5 | The Communist Manifesto |

Terrific! | "Einstein" is a terrific book. What drew me to the book was that in my own journey in trying to understand the really big picture of things, I'd might as well take a look at a book about one of the accepted great minds in recent history.

A very timely book | What makes "Gangster Capitalism" so worthwhile is that it helps in understanding what has led us to the 2007-8 financial meltdown.

. Once you begin the book hard to put it down. This review is from a liberal democrat. | I think one of the nicest compliments you can say about a book or its author, is that you are unhappy when the book ends.

A Very old and interesting time in British history! | My favorite category is historical fiction, and this novel features a time in English history which is not often written about.

No answers, but a deeper understanding of things | The book is excellent in showing some major things we kind of take for granted, but really shouldn't, because to come up with dramatic advances in science or in understanding, we have a better chance when pondering these challenges.<br /><br />There are some things I will never think in quite the same way after reading... | 0385520689 | books | 5 | Understanding Beyond the Edge of Science |

Love this series! | I love this series so far! The main character, Bubba, is not always easy to figure out. One minute he's a good ol' boy from the south and the next he is an intelligent speaker.

You can read it after al... | B00C5RY1G0 | books | 5 | The Little Queen of the Bayou series, including Trouble in Mudbug |

Designs for Beautiful Knitted Rugs, But Too Much Assembly Required | Always fascinated by my grandmother's braided rag rugs, I am equally fascinated by the beautiful knitted rag rugs showcased in KNITTING FABRIC RUGS.

New, Expanded Edition of Scarce Hardcover--Superb Resource Book for Knitting History, Traditional Fishermen's Gansey Patterns | MICHAEL PEARSON'S TRADITIONAL KNITTING has long been one of my favorite "historical knitting" books, because of the many old photographs of Scottish, Cornish, and Welsh fishermen wearing their hand-knitted working gansey sweaters.

Knitted Garment Designs for Warmer Climates | Most of the patterns in WARM DAYS, COOL KNITS call for merino wool or wool/silk yarns, rather than cotton or linen yarns. This, I think, is a good thing.

Linen yarns tend ... | 1620338521 | books | 5 | Knitted Garment Designs for Warmer Climates |
