Austin Reviews

My daughter loves this book. She is three and we read it all the time. She is learning about racing and enjoys it alot. We even met Kyle Petty and he signed our copy. He calls it "Austin's book" If you like racing and are a Petty fan it is a good book for your collection. I had a very hard time finding it!

This series has great action heroes of all kinds. You get four heroes handpicked specifically from all groups of the armed services, and together they form - The Guardians, the post-holocaust heroes! A must read for action fans.

I would like to see the table of contents for this book - may order for my class. Please send ASAP if possible. Thank you. 7/1/98

How can we Austin folkses pay 45 clams for a book if we're all "slackers?"

This book is a collection of well-crafted, highly useful essays on the important twentieth-century thinker Austin Farrer, an Oxford don and priest of the Church of England. Anyone interested in philosophical theology, in British theology during the era of C. S. Lewis, in modern understandings of divine providence, or in the relationship between theology and spirituality should examine this work carefully. Very nicely done.

Austin Mardin writes a spell-binding book which places the reader inside the old Russian regime. He portrays with a quality of surrealism the struggle of a man against inside and outside forces. For anyone interested in Russian literature or in a truly unique adventure, this novel is a winner.

A remarkakable review of history over the last 15,000 years that accounts for most, if not all of the disasters that have overtaken our home planet, and several others as well. Goes about 150 years into the future to describe what will happen to us when our perennial nemesis, Draco, come by again. Notably, Austin & Crowley propose that Sitchin's 3,600 year period for his 'Planet X' is actually four orbits of Draco, more or less, because 892 x 4 = 3600 within 1% error. 892 is Austin's figure for the period of the tenth planet, named Draco in this work. According to Austin, the future comprises a grim reduction of 95% in the population of Earth after 2115, the next encounter date, according with the work of Chet Snow who says there will be a 'shortage of bodies' around in the 22nd century for us to reincarnate into. Austin is confirmed by the 'Franciscan Document' (see Jim Keith, IllumiNet Press) where a monk reveals that America is expected to be covered with ice by the middle of the 22nd century. Austin concurs, saying we are headed for a new ice age; the result of a passage by Draco, which although it will never hit the Earth, will bring along millions of tons of dust and this precipitates the overdue ice age. A similar event ended the Pleistocene, he says, when billions of animals died. See 'when the Earth nearly died' (Allen & Delair). A remarkable and necessary book that strips away our delusions and suggests cogent reasons why the globe is being reshaped in preparation for the end of 'civilisation as we know it' in around 112 years time.

Great book- educates as it entertains. The Dragon's Tale gives young readers a window into the southwest and the architectural ideas of Frank Lloyd Wright in a playful children's mystery format. The beautiful illustrations capture the feel of Taliesin West, Arizona, Wright's winter studio/school where the book is set.

Anyone thinking of visiting the southwest with children should pick up a copy of this (or the first book in the series, the Case of the Missing Cocatiels) for the flight/drive out!

Kids ages 13 and older will find Linda Bayer's Drugs Crime And Criminal Justice to be a 100+ page title essential for social studies classes studying issues of drugs and the justice system. The chapters comprising Drugs Crime And Criminal Justice cover America's early drug history to present-day legal and social systems, with black and white photos providing illustration. Highly recommended for both Law/Justice and Social Issues reference collections.

This is an amazing piece of historical fiction. A beatuiful piece, combining accurate historic detail with high energy story-telling.

It begins on a Crusade in the Holy Land, and Sir Hugh and his companions are betrayed to the Saracans, by their Greek "allies," and slaughtered to the last man. Only one man survives, Sir Hugh--and with the aid of a mysterious helper he gains the long lost, legendary sword of Roland--Durandal. And he swears to avenge the death of his comrads.

This book was originally written as 3 short stories in Adventure Magazine in the 1920's and 30's, and originally combined into a novel in the 1930's. Now re-released here, it has stood the test of time very well. Worth mentioning--this book is a beatuiful new release, wonderfully illustrated. The author is Harold Lamb, who was not only a respected historian, but was also familiar with the places he used as the settings for his story. He spoke the native languages and had visited the sites he portrayed in this book.

One of the finest features of the book is the sense of fate, and determination that fills not just Sir Huge, but all the characters in this novel. As he is fleeing from his Greek enemies--with the aid of Moslem Arabs--he encounters the outriders of the invading Mongol horde--the soldiers of Genghis Khan, lead by the amazing Subadai. And because of his own quarrels, Sir Hugh joins the Horde--A Crusader in the Horde--and rises in rank because of his own abilities.
