Turkish Cymbals Classic Ride C-R20 TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Turkish Cymbals

You know that feeling you get when you know the answer. That is such an awesome feeling. Today at the bookstore I work at, I overheard someone saying, "Gosh I wish I could find that one dragon series I read so long ago." "Try me!" I said, sneaking up on him. He jumped. "Oh...ummm...you probably won't know it. I've been looking for like 10 years, I've tried here, I've tried the library. Nobody knows what it is." "But what if I'm that one person!" I say enthusiastically, straightening the book he just put back on the shelf. "Well it was like 12 or 13 years ago. It had dragons but they were mostly used as scouts and mounts, that sort of thing." I immediately say, with practically no hesitation or screwing up my face or regarding the ceiling in case the answer is up there, "Maybe Dragonmaster by Chris Bunch?" "Maybe? Where is it?" It was conveniently in the next aisle over. "Here we go, take a look at that. Looks like it was published in 2002? Is that too recent?" "Oh my god. I think she got it," he said, turning to his companion. "THIS IS TOTALLY IT. DUDE HIGH FIVE." "Awesome! On my first try!" I fist pump the air (I always do that when I get a book right, I'm such a bro). "You're just lucky, I happen to have read it last summer." "Oh yeah it's a great series. Did you like it?" ummmmm...I think I mumbled something and shuffled off to do work at that point. It was ALMOST worth reading this book just to answer that question. But it still gets one star.

This great biography of George Washington deserves its critical and popular praise. At the end I felt that I knew both the man and the country he helped create. Chernow does a better job than any other book I've read in depicting Washington's courage during battles and how his presence and leadership stopped many American retreats and inspired many American advances during key moments in the Revolutionary War. However, this is not a fawning biography, Chernow discusses strategic mistakes by Washington, how he sometimes did not protect flanks during battle leading to defeat and how he sometimes he did not adapt to changing battlefield conditions as other great generals have done.However, Chernow leaves the Revolutionary War chapters leaving little doubt that it was Washington's leadership that made the difference in the War. Chernow also shows that Washington did not just believe that it was the battlefields that were the key to the war, he also shows Washington's preoccupation with financing of the war and the need for a country to develop credit and a strong financial system. Chernow neatly ties this war time issue with Washington's later actions as President during the disputes between Hamilton and Jefferson/Madison over financial controversies such as debt assumption, national credit and central bank The book is strongest in its analysis of Washington and slavery. Too often books look at our founding father's attitudes and actions toward slavery by either the easy hindsight of today's standards or by excusing all actions as a product of the times. Chernow does not. He acknowledges Washington's growing personal discomfort and eventual opposition to slavery and that Washington's treatment of slavery was better than most(such as reluctance of breaking up slave families) and of course discusses Washington's emancipation of his own slaves at the time of his death. However, Chernow points to incidents that show that Washington knew or should have known better the effects of slavery. During the war the English were at one time at Mt Vernon and offered freedom to any of Washington's slaves. 17 accepted and Washington sought their return after the war. Also after the war, Washington pressed the English for return of all slaves who fought for the British in exchange for their independence, even when the British pointed out that many slaves would commit suicide before being forced to return. More poignant was at the end of his Presidency when two of Washington's household slaves escaped as opposed to returning to Mt Vernon. Washington and his wife felt betrayed at the escapes and tried mightily to have them captured and returned(fortunately, he was unsuccessful) Chernow's treatment of the slavery issue was the most honest and balanced I have seen with the exception of Annette Gordon-Reed's books on Jefferson and slavery Chernow also did an excellent job in intertwining Washington's personal life with Washington's military and political leadership. His treatment of the friendship and possible intimate relationship with Sally Fairfax shows the human side of Washington. Chernow quotes a letter to her at the end of their lives when Washington said his happiest and best moments in his life were his times with her and Chernow comments that this was significant from a man who built up personal wealth, defeated England in a war, and founded a country--but still considered his time as a young man infatuated with Fairfax as the happiest time of his life This is a great book and well worth the read

2001 Bir Uzay Efsanesi TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Arthur C. Clarke

It's hard to find Wendy Ewald's now out of print 'Portraits & Dreams', her amazing project of teaching kids in Appalachia to photograph recreations of their dreams, take self portraits, and document their family life in photos and words. The result was a record of their surreal imaginations, aspirations, love of their families, and innocent and hopeful views of life set against a hardscrabble backdrop that most would not physically escape. They also made art that you wont forget. In 'Secret Games' you'll find some of the examples above along with Ewald's collaborations with kids from Mexico to India and in between.

This is perhaps my favorite manga. It starts getting somewhat dull around volumes 4 & 5, though. I'm yet to finish the series, but I really enjoyed the first few volumes.

Zac Power Görev Başlıyor - (Görev 2 - Denizde Dehşet)-H. I. Larry TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Caretta Çocuk

The last paragraph of this book says more than any review I could write: "This is where the story starts, in this threadbare room. The walls are exploding. The windows have turned into telescopes. Moon and stars are magnified in this room. The sun hangs over the mantelpiece. I stretch out my hand and reach the corners of the world. The world is bundled up in this room. Beyond the door, where the river is, where the roads are, we shall be. We can take the world with us when we go and sling the sun under your arm. Hurry now, it's getting late. I don't know if this is a happy ending but here we are let loose in open fields." Read this book.

I enjoyed this book from start to finish and thought all of the characters were quirky, interesting and so flawed in a fun way. I would like to go to one of Cousin Lou's parties and be like family.
