An excellent book on eskimo life.......1998-12-09
I read this book many years ago as a child on a recommendation from my father. He gave me his copy of the book before he died. The book's details on Inuit life and how it is affected by the inclusion of the sailors makes for great reading. This should be required reading in school and for any Sociology course.
Fascinating juxtaposition of European and Eskimo culture........1998-07-08
James Houston, a noted glass designer (for Steuben) lived among the Eskimos as a civil servant for the Canadian government. He helped them organize coops for the distribution of their art. This book is about the sailors who are taken in by Eskimos after their ship sinks. It vividly contrasts the highly organized and friendly Eskimo society with the unruly and often cruel code of the European seafarer. Great reading from an author who knows! Also recommend his Spiritwrestler.

Book Description
One day an unruly curl pops out of Harriet's nice neat braid--a wriggly, wavy, horrible curl. "It looks weird," taunts her brother. WHEN HARRIET'S SISTER offers to fix the rebellious curl, the three of them launch into a series of outrageous, hair-raising schemes to tame Harriet's wayward ringlet. Despite their best efforts, though, two... three... four... and still more curls break loose. Soon the yard and the house are a wreck, poor Harriet is exhausted, and her head is covered in curls. Dawn Stewart's rollicking, boisterous tale, vividly brought to life by Michael White's brilliant and quirky illustrations, will entertain young readers while helping them to see that the root of our problems is sometimes all in the way we look at them.

Harriet's Hair brings Smiles.......2001-01-03
An absolutly great book! The text is lyrical making it easy to read over and over again. The illustrations are colorful and fun. With each reading, your child (and you) will notice more fantastic details. The antics are zany, but Harriet's feelings are real and ones we can all relate to. This book will quickly become a family favorite!
Irresistible Children's Story!.......2000-07-19
A delightful story, complete with detail-rich, amazingly fun illustrations, makes this book a sure hit with children, and their parents. I can't wait for more releases from Ms. Stewart!
Hair-larous Locks.......2000-05-16
Every child with hair that won't behave or who has siblings that are too helpful, will delight in reading the trials put upon Harriet by her brother and sister all because of a wayward curl! The vocabulary is age appropriate and the illustrations are delightful.
Harriet's a Hoot!.......2000-04-19
Kindergarten to fifth graders enjoyed this wild tale. I am an elementary school librarian and my students loved this story and its zany illustrations. They couldn't wait to see what Harriet's creative siblings had in store for her on every page. They also loved watching the dog's and cat's antics throughout the book. As we say in Texas..."This book is a hoot!"
The Curl and the Cure by Rose Gotsis.......2000-04-11
Harriet's Horrible Hair Day is not only for the young girl whose hair won't behave, it's for the young boy who can't get that unruly cowlick to stay down. When Harriet's cinnamon-colored curl pops out of her braid, her brother is quick to tell her she looks weird. This single remark sets into motion a series of remedies that her siblings apply. Their antics are somewhat reminiscent of Dr. Seuss's "The Cat in the Hat". Creative, wild, and crazy, the cure is worse than the curl. As illustrated in the following text, Harriet's siblings are determined: "Harriet's sister plopped a colandar on Harriet's head, and her brother pulled the curls through the holes." Ms. Stewart's amusingly phonetic text will please all children, and Michael P. White's appropiate illustrations will catch their eyes. Without a doubt, this is a book a child will clutch close to his or her chest. No wonder it has sold out at our local bookstore.

My First Romance.......2003-08-17
I found this book years ago at a used book store, and bought it because of the picture on the cover. I had no idea what it was going to be about, but the picture was so beautiful that I bought it anyway. This was the very first historical romance I had ever owned and it sparked an interest in historical romances that has lasted over 15 years. This book made me laugh and cry, but I could not put it down! The character's were far from perfect, which only made the story more interesting. I highly recommend this book to any true historical romance reader.
I wish there was more information about Mary's books. I have all of her "Roses" series, and even they were extremely diffult to come by, but I would like to know more about some of her other work...
It's more than a love story; it was wonderful!.......1999-01-17
Pershall does a wonderful job in keeping with historical facts, while writing one terrific love story. Her two main characters are so likeable. This book makes you feel as if your right there in the story. I could not put the book down, I was sorry to see it end.

Empire Building Theme- out with the old and in with new.......1999-11-07
An empire in danger, weak and cowardly, needs courageous leaders to save humanity. That about summons it up in one line.
I enjoyed the character development and plot. Steve White wrote a solid story that incorporates interesting characters like General Ivar Brady-Schiovana and his sons which the novel rotates around. The writing style is similiar to a David Drake novel.
I read in a day.

White Dawn.......2003-08-02
When Emily Ambrose's father abandons her in the wilds of Michigan Territory, she's terrified. Before they're out of sight, though, Emily's parents are attacked right before her very eyes. She runs to her mother, and receives a locket from her mother right before she died, along with some interesting words...
Swift Foot is to be the next chief in his Sioux tribe. But when he hears a cry in his dreams, the tribe shaman tells him he is to leave and find out what it is. Swift Foot later finds Emily, and they fall in love and become lovers. But Swift Foot knows he can't bring her back to his tribe because his people will be reminded of his father's acts. He leaves her in the middle of the night, but stays close to wait for John Cartier to find her in the morning.
John Cartier is so lonely that when he sees his Lady Dawn, he thinks it's an illusion. But no, it is Emily, a heartbroken, ready-to-die Emily. John helps heal her emotionally, and falls in love with her in the meantime.
Emily is so wary of love it's sad, because John loves her with all his heart. Then, she falls in love with him as well, but learns she's become pregnant by her Indian lover.
There are several more problems along the way, such as Willy, John's ne'er-do-well cousin. But then, the road to true love has never been easy!
**Edwards has written an award-winning novel of hopes that are crushed and love that'll never die. This book was the first of Edwards books I'd read. I just picked it up in the grocery store one day, got home, and read through it all in one sitting. It made me cry so hard when Swift Foot left poor Emily. I could actually hear her anguished cries. Laughter and love, tears and pain, all part of the game of true love.

You HAVE GOT to read this one!.......2002-07-02
Set in 1810, near the Missouri River. Emily Ambrose had been abused by her father, a preacher, all her life. Yet it still came as a shock the day Emily found herself being left behind as her parents abandoned her. Emily had been left to die! Ironically, her father's hatred saved Emily's life. Before her parents' wagon was out of sight, Indians attacked, killed them, and stole all the supplies. Emily came out of hiding in time to hold her dying mother and learn some family secrets.
Swift-Foot was to become chief of his Sioux tribe soon. The council had already chosen the woman he would marry. First, Swift-Foot had to seek out the answer to his visions. He came upon Emily, lost and alone. This was his test. He would save her and return her to the white world. They fell in love and became lovers, but Swift-Foot could not keep her with him. He abandoned Emily in the woods, but stuck around to make sure John, a friendly trapper, found her before returning to his tribe.
John Cartier thought her to be an angel of the dawn. He vowed to treat her well and help her heal. He would be the friend Emily so desperately needed. John quickly fell in love with her. But after being abandoned twice by those she had trusted, he knew Emily first needed time and understanding.
**** I can not tell more without giving away something vital and I refuse to spoil the story for you. My only regret was not being able to read more of the time between Emily and Swift-Foot. I loved how the author was able to make me, as the reader, understand that Swift-Foot's future would be a story too. Since Emily got her story told in this one, I hope Swift-Foot will be the main focus of the next.
Susan Edwards made the story even more realistic by letting characters from a previous story make an appearance. Each book is a story in itself, so the reader does not have to had read any of the others to enjoy this novel. However, by having read them, I feel as though I am a part of each family. This entire series ROCKS! Don't miss out! ****
Another Hit by Susan Edwards.......2002-05-14
I have to say, that I have always loved Susan Edwards work. And now, with White Dawn, the seventh book in the White Series, she has touched my heart yet again. Here, this story is about Emily Ambrose, the mother of Sarah, aka White Wind.
Emily finds herself stranded and alone after her hateful father abandons her in the wilds. She is then found by a mysterious Indian Man, Swift Foot. Well, as fate would have it, the two fall in love. Well, nothing lasts forever and eventually her Indian lover has to leave her for duties that call him back to his tribe.
Emily is then found by John Cartier, a handsome trapper. The two fall in love, but of course there are trials and tribulations along the way, one of them that Emily turns out to be pregnant by her Indian lover.
This book is insightful to how the whole White Series came to be. It is a sad, touching story at first, but then hope and love turn to make the book a wondrous adventure. I highly recommend this book to Susan Edward fans!!!!!!
exciting Indian-frontier romance that is actually a prequel.......2002-05-11
In 1810, Timothy Ambrose flies into a rage at what his daughter Emily wears. As he calls her names like "Satan's Spawn", she tries to explain that she has no other dress as Father Richard ripped the one she is wearing when he accosted her. Refusing to listen, Timothy beats her before informing his wife that they are leaving behind this whore in the Territory of Michigan wilderness.
Sioux Chief Swift Foot seeks the spirit world on a quest. Instead he finds a frightened Emily and protects her from the danger of the wild. He takes her back to his people, but on the journey they fall in love. However, Swift Foot cannot be the tribe chief and marry a white. Responsibility forces him to abandon a stunned Emily.
Trapper John Cartier is lonely so when he finds Emily he hopes that God has answered his prayers for a companion. He falls in love with her, but Emily knows that love hurts and refuses to fall under the beguiling spell of her host.
The seventh tale in Susan Edward's "White ..." series, WHITE DAWN, is an exciting Indian-frontier romance that is actually a prequel to the first novel (see WHITE WIND). The angst-laden story line is fast-paced as readers see the story of Sarah Cartier's parents, both of whom are delightful characters seeking yet fearing love in a cruel world. Though at times the emotion is too melodramatic, fans will appreciate this engaging story and look forward to the other prequel tale starring the parents of Golden Eagle (Swift Foot and Small Bird).

Book Description
In 1813 Charles James Mason gave the public just what they needed, patenting his "ironstone china." This durable yet beautiful dinnerwarewas stronger and less expensive than the china that then dominated the market. And its white, unadorned base soon became popular as a canvas for decorations such as Flow Blue, Mulberry, and Copper Lustre, especially the Tea Leaf motif. This pictorial and collectors' guide provides an alphabetic listing of all known shapes and their makers, illustrated with more than 700 color photographs to help easily identify pieces and show the ironstone in detail never seen before. Collectors will find this cross-referencing tool invaluable. Included is also a miscellaneous chapter, which brings to new light the unusual and hard to find pieces and a section devoted entirely to children's sets. Color photographs of makers' marks are identified and dated to aid those wishing to date their pieces.
Customer Reviews:
A good guide for novices..........2006-11-27
This is a surprisingly comprehensive overview for such a small book (173 pages). Decent photography shows the shapes, makers' marks and various decorative motifs that are traditional to white ironstone. The pricing guide is helpful and the bibliography will help expand your interest.

An unforgettable story and a timeless perspective of significant time in American 20th Century cultural and political history.......2006-05-03
Awakening To Equality: A Young White Pastor At The Dawn Of Civil Rights by Karl E. Lutze is the engaging story of a young Lutheran priest's approach to the newly emerging era of American civil rights activism in 1945 as a newcomer to the world of clerical practice. As the young Karl Lutze found himself placed in Oklahoma's Muskogee, amidst a greatly African American community, Awakening To Equality carries the reader through the inherently fascinating saga of his dual practice in Tulsa and Muskogee, and his journey through sights and experiences of black and white power rallies, activism from both races, and an economically impoverished but spiritual enriched black culture. Providing an unforgettable story and a timeless perspective of significant time in American 20th Century cultural and political history, Awakening To Equality is very strongly recommended to students of American history, particularly the Civil Rights movement, for its invaluable eye-witness perspective.
