          5 out of 5 stars Stitch Lover's Must .......2007-01-10

          This is a great book for the Stitch Fan! I gave it to my 6 year old son who loves Stitch. He reads at a 3rd grade level and this book is packed with facts on the planets that keep him learning as he adventures with Stitch. The story is probably a second grade level, with a glossary and additional sidebar facts on all the planets- so the book meets a variety of reading levels. My 4 year old daughter enjoys it as well and can follow along to the CD. The pages are a heavy cardstock for even earlier readers. The CD starts with a little song that he loves to sing and he listens to the story in bed after lights out. The stickers and poster were a fun activity that we hung on his wall and is now fun educational art! Love the book and if your child is a Stitch lover it is a great choice- well, well worth the cost!!!

          5 out of 5 stars A great and fun book .......2006-03-28

          This is one of my 3-year old son favorate books. We both love the colorful pictures, the poster and the story about the best friends, Lilo and Stitch. My son now knows the planets' names and order and also what is special about each one of them. We also like the audio CD that makes reading the book more interesting.

            Book Description

            A Classic Study of Biblical Prophecy

            Here's the complete story of all the major prophetic and momentous events that will take place before that great battle of Armageddon-all carefully researched and documented in chronological order. Readers will follow the events as they occur: the rise of antichrist, the new church, a world common market, the expansion of Egypt, the return to idolatry, earthquakes and falling stars, and many others. Find out what a glorious future God has for His people.

            Arthur Bloomfield believed that the three prophecies Daniel, the Olivet Discourse, and Revelation form a prophetic trilogy. In the Olivet Discourse, Jesus reached back to Daniel and forward to Revelation, and without unnecessary repetition, combined the three into a consonant whole. Bloomfield's careful studies of biblical prophecy have stood the test of time and are as relevant today as the day they were first published.

                            5 out of 5 stars Two Months before the Mast.......2003-06-02

                            I sailed to the Arctic on the Regina Maris in 1997, a couple years before Oxenhorn took his trip. Not quite the book I would have written, but I started out with greater expectations of discomfort and hardship. After all, it was the Arctic. Nonetheless, Oxenhard paints an accurate picture of life on a tall ship on the frigid edge of the world, and, more importantly, gives a true recounting of the deep personal changes that take place in everyone aboard on such a voyage. I sailed with many of the characters in the book, and would disagree with the more negative of Oxenhorn's descriptions of them, nonetheless, he does give a good feel for some of the friction that occurs on a long trip under difficult conditions with no privacy. Its a great pity that the good ship Regina Maris no more. I believe that everyone who sailed on her to the frozen north came back a deeply changed and better person. This book is perhaps the next best thing.

                            5 out of 5 stars Eloquent, poignant, detailed, sparkling distillation.......2002-08-12

                            The late Harvey Oxenhorn secured an enduring legacy through his captivating, detailed account of his apprentice voyage on the tall ship, Regina Maris. He painstakingly chronicles all facets of life during the nine weeks spent traversing from Boston to the Arctic Ocean, recounting sights, sounds, encounters, and experiences at sea and on shore in various ports from Newfoundland to Greenland and back again.

                            The result is not one of those irritating "look, look at me" travel books or the ramblings of a self-absorbed trekker who intimidated his editor into leaving in the most boring of details but a refreshing recap of life at sea, warts and all..

                            Mr. Oxenhorn, motivated by a journey of spiritual discovery, soon finds his preconceived notions of life at sea challenged not only by the mundane, repetitive tasks that consume most hours, but also by his inexperience and fears that he must confront whether scaling the vertical matrix of ropes and sails or keeping watch in the middle of the night in all kinds of weather and knowing that his decisions and observation will affect the well-being of the crew and ship.

                            As the story unfolds-and more so as a novel than travelogue-Mr. Oxenhorn constantly finds surprising aspects about his crew mates that force him to reconsider them, and himself, in the context of this expedition and extrapolates from these experiences a growing sense of self-mastery and awareness of interdependence.

                            As he recounts late in the book, "But again, the main point wasn't the rules themselves. Nor was it to demonstrate someone's authority. . . Rather, it was to break down the habit of mind that makes exceptions and desires special treatment. To replace it with a heart called unity."

                            Though this notion may sound a bit like the process used to mold soldiers in boot camp, his ruminations regarding interdependence reach a deeper resonance when he argues, both convincingly and cogently, that "We have made ourselves responsible for the life that ours depends on, from copepods to whales. To think differently about these animals is to think differently about ourselves as well. From now on, we must all stand watch. One tribe. One family. One crew."

                            Mr. Oxenhorn takes great pains to present his facts and details with care, clearly having spent many hours researching and documenting his observations about everything from various seabirds, to the construction and operation of tall sailing ships, to traditional navigational methods involving sextant and compass and stars. His narrative jumps to life as he describes what it is like to be sailing on a wooden ship among "tabular icebergs twice the length of football fields and seven stories high."

                            The point of the expedition was to study whale populations, and the author provides enough information about whales, their place and role in the marine environment, and how humans have affected (almost always badly) the balance of nature. He provides just enough details about how the research is conducted, what key findings are made, and what sort of future might be in store for the whale populations. Mr. Oxenhorn does not come off sounding like a overzealous, gung-ho Greenpeacer hunkered down in a Zodiac; rather he applies the same sort of calm logic to why we must carefully manage the oceans as agrarian essayist Wendell Berry proffers.

                            Likewise he captures both the ugly and shining sides of human behavior and interactions aboard ship and shore, pulling no punches even from his characterizations of Captain George Nichols, with whom Mr. Oxenhorn butted heads----and came away chastised more than once----the mates, or his peer crewmates. More than once, I cringed at some of these depictions, wondering if the author might be overstepping his rights, but he never fails to reveal the good, sometimes surprising, qualities of his shipmates.

                            If I had been Mr. Oxenhorn's editor, I might have asked for more explanation of some of the nautical and sailing terms that pepper the chronicle, maybe a glossary for those of us who will never experience firsthand such an adventure. The map inside the front cover is useful, but not nearly detailed enough, and without including the longitude and latitude lines, a puzzling lapse I would attribute to the publisher, it's not easy to track the voyage sequentially. (Most chapter titles follow this convention, for example, "17 July. 63◦N/54◦W."

                            Those minor points aside, "Tuning the Rig" is the kind of book that causes you to postpone your own chores while you read about the myriad tasks of "field day" or the duties of the "galley slave." I cannot say that I now have the urge to spend two months at sea on a tall ship, but I am grateful to Mr. Oxenhorn for his splendid account. Had he not been the faultless victim of an automobile crash, Mr. Oxenhorn, who is also a published poet, might have made quite a name for himself.

                                          The Graphical Pitcher is a new way to view baseball-pitching statistics. Instead of columns of numbers, the statistics are presented in the most natural and immediate wayvisually! The book devotes a full third of a page to each pitcher, describing his career in six multi-faceted graphs and charts. These include a seasonal log and look at statistical rates, workload, career trends, and a revolutionary depiction of the data using a Monte Carlo simulation.

                                          4 out of 5 stars Solid Information.......2006-12-13

                                          This book contains solid statistical data for preparing for your fantasy league draft. While I agree that the information could be presented in a clearer format, it is very easy to differentiate the pitchers worth owning from the others. The value of the book lies in unearthing those "name" pitchers who are destined for hard times and those "no-name" pitchers who could shine. Couple this book with Ron Shandler's Baseball Forecaster and you've got the best tools available for roto baseball.

                                          1 out of 5 stars Of no value.......2006-05-29

                                          I'm glad I missed the first two editions and am sad I fell for the third.

                                          Mr. Burnson demonstrates that some graphical data can be so poorly depicted as to be worse than simple mind-numbing lists of numbers. Evidently Burnson attempted to make the entry for each MLB pitcher from 2005, some pitchers were missing by the way, as concise as possible. In so doing he produced graphs which are absolutely useless. That, coupled with some pretty adolescent one-liners for each player, makes this effort a waste of paper and ink.

                                                When Tony's mother's fourth husband dies, Tony ends up taking care of his mother and himself. As the new kid in high school, he vows to blend in with the crowd and avoid attachments. But he soon meets Jordan, who's both intriguing and flamboyant, dressed in black, adorned in padlocks and chains and a sign saying "Instant Chastity."



                                                It's no wonder Tony often dials a self-help hotline called Confess-O-Rama. While Tony pours out his heart and secrets, little does he know that Jordan runs Confess-O-Rama and plans to use all the dialogue for an auditory art exhibit.

                                                3 out of 5 stars New Kid at School.......2007-07-01

                                                Tony had a real father once, then had three stepfathers. All of them died, leaving Tony's mother heartbroken and feeling like she's some sort of bad luck charm. Tony has become accustomed to moving to new places, so he isn't very upset when he and his mother move to a new town to live in his aunt's place for a few months. He will do part of his high school time there, making no friends or connections, and then move onto someplace new to finish.

                                                Things don't go the way Tony planned, though. The very first day of school, he meets a weird group of students, artists who immediately pull him into their group even when he doesn't try to be friends with them. One of them in particular, a girl named Jordan, intrigues him. She seems to be running on fast forward all of the time and she doesn't easily take no for an answer.

                                                Tony tries to resist Jordan, but finds himself drawn to her. He is able to calm her down when she gets out of control with stress, and she helps to teach him that his mother isn't as fragile as he thinks and doesn't need him to watch over her every second. But when Tony feels like his trust has been betrayed, will they be able to remain friends?

                                                I liked that the artist characters were all very interesting and unique; I'd actually like to have read more about them as individuals. I also liked the details of Tony's cooking, from the things he cooked to how he went about it and why he liked to cook so much.

                                                I thought that some of the characters were over the top, though. Jordan, especially, seemed really irritating and not at all endearing as Tony seemed to think she was. I also thought that her betrayal was incredibly obvious; I knew from the start that it was going to happen and I thought it was strange that Tony didn't figure it out.

                                                5 out of 5 stars Awesome!!!!!!!!.......1998-05-13

                                                I cannot even say how much I enjoyed this book. Although I picked it up for my younger sister (10), at 14 I had a great time with it. While not drowning in romance, or that kind of drippy friendship that most new literature is pressing on us these days this book managed to get across the kind of relationship any teenager needs. Insightful, smart, humorous, and an easy read, this is a great book for anyone who feels like they don't belong, are being discriminated against, is an artist, or likes cooking. What an incredible book!!!

                                                Koertge is one of America's finest writers of books foryoung people, and Confess-O-Rama keeps his string of hitsgoing. Tony's mother has a knack for marrying men who die too soon, starting with Tony's father and going right through his 3 subsequent stepfathers. Now, as Tony and his mom are recovering from the latest death and living [temporarily?] in West Paradise, CA, Tony meets an unusual group of high school artists and begins sharing his problems with a phone service called Confess-O-Rama, little suspecting that his voice and others will become source material for a performance piece.
