Comanche Ethnography: Field Notes of E. Adamson Hoebel, Waldo R. Wedel, Gustav G. Carlson, and Robert H. Lowie (Studies in the Anthropology of North Ame) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Dr. Kavanaugh has done a tremendous service in the area of Comanche ethnography by compiling and annotating the various notes of the Santa Fe team who interviewed Comanche informants in the 1930s. Hitherto, the literature on Comanche ethnography has suffered from basic lack of information, as the daily...

The Legends of Tono Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Much of what we know of Japanese folklore might have been lost forever if it were not for two authors, Lafcadio Hearn and Kunio Yanagita. Both were avid collectors of the mysterious tales of weird and imaginative creatures that were passed down as oral folklore but never written down. Both did their...

100 Media Moments That Changed America Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)From the hand-printed broadsheets of the 17th century through our present electronic age of twitters and blackberries, mass media has had two consistent qualities in the shaping of American popular and political culture -- scandal and violence. In "100 Media Moments That Changed America", former journalist...

To Dance On Sands: The Life and Art of Death Valley's Marta Becket Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)It always seems that the people who are very quiet and soft spoken are the ones who have the most to say. They only have to whisper, for you to hear them loud and quite clear. Marta Becket is herself a tribute to that very rare individual who has heeded to the calling of their inner voice, and without...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Colin Cowie's book begins with examples of weddings that most people could never afford, which can be frustrating.

Psalty's Kids Bible Revised Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Over ten yrs. ago, the Sunday School teacher of our elementary kids ordered 10 Psalty Kids Bibles for her class. They have been a great asset for our church.

Painters of Utah's Canyons and Deserts Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is a tremendous book - almost as big as a canyon itself. It's full of superb paintings and I like the broad selection with its wide appeal.

Bernie Wrightsons Frankenstein Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Frankenstein is by far one of the greatest books ever written. Few other novels measure up to it. I did not realize this the first time I read it, when it was required reading for high school. At that time, I hated it. But, as was usual in my high school experience, the life was sucked out of it and...

The Bedside Book of Beasts: A Wildlife Miscellany Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)to Graeme Gibson's The Bedside Book of Birds: An Avian Miscellany. Both books are absolutely beautiful: heavy paper, excellent binding, gorgeous reproductions and printing. The page images here on Amazon are really excellent, but don't convey the full beauty of the images on paper. Best of all, the books...

PRETTY FLAMINGO Review

Lemurian Scrolls: Angelic Prophecies Revealing Human Origins Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have just read the Lemurian Scrolls and I am amazed and pleased and totally in tune with the material. I've spent thirty plus years doing past life consultation (approximately 50,000 to date). Plus I've taught classes, seminars and retreats. But I've never found as complete a book on many important...

The Power of Two: A Twin Triumph over Cystic Fibrosis Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)As a person with cystic fibrosis, I have always shied away from CF memoirs. My attitude has been "I have CF, why do I need to read about your CF?" I can not tell you how thankful I am that I did not shy away from this extraordinary story of struggle, strength and love. Ana and Isa are twins of Asian...

Here Lies Jim Crow: Civil Rights in Maryland Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)C. Fraser Smith has made a very important contribution to the knowledge and understanding of the Civil Rights struggle in Maryland.
