Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I must confess that I resisted buying this cookbook for many years. I am an avid collector of American Regional and International cookbooks, but found the title of this book offensive. I assumed it was written to mock rural whites, a people I know to be hardworking, self-reliant, and decent. I was wrong...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book is a quick read, with lots of photos and large text. It's mildly enlightening for charting a history of trucking, the development of the West, and the chronology of Kenworth models. The book is seriously lacking in depth, and comes across as advertisement frequently. A perfect "driver's lounge"...

Today you see many of these previous attractions walking down the city streets and shopping at Wal Mart. As a matter of fact in the last year I have seen more tatooed women while shopping...

I just read this book on Cape Hatteras, NC while on vacation surfing waves generated by Hurricanes Alex and Charley. Still, it wasn't just my personal environment that made this book perfect. It...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is a large "coffee table" type volume that delivers much more than many in this category. It is absolutely brimming with high quality black and white and color photos many of which will be new to both film and Lucy fans. Most impressively, it covers all of Lucille Ball's films (including the shorts)...
Whales with Fur: How to Train Any Animal Using Dolphin Training Techniques Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Whales with Fur As a dog lover, I am proud of what my beagle hound Shadow can do. He can do regular dog things like roll over, say hello, and stay. It was not easy teaching him these skills, and I have failed in a number of other efforts. For instance, if I throw a tennis ball, he will pursue it,...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)It's Frank Peretti's brilliant novel writing skills...condensed! It's a super-cool family of archeologists--minus a mother--who investigate phenomena in the spirit of Indiana Jones, only with a Christian perspective. A nice alternative to the gore and junk in the Indiana Jones movies.This one will freak...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I was a bit hesitant to read The Other Side of Everest; it was beginning to seem to me that there wasn't a person anywhere near the mountain during 1996 that *hadn't* written a book. I figured this one would be a rehashing of the story we all know so well, from Into Thin Air and other books. How wrong...

Few authors could pull off a novel where the heroine escapes to the country for some personal time out without subjecting the reader to introspective, sappy interludes. Even fewer can keep...
