Dodge Reviews

This book is probally the most valuable tool you can own in your tool box. The manual covers not only full engine overhaul but also tune up procedures and general maintance.

The manual is laid out very well and allows those with little or no car experience to easily perform numerous tasks and trouble shoot problems they may have.

You can't go wrong at the price because even if you use it once it's more than paid for itself.

I would call this book a classic. I read it and had it read to me as a small child. I should hope this book continues to be read to children of elementary ages.

This book was a blast. A simple pulp western that entertained me to a high degree. I bought "Dan'L" thinking it would be little more than a filler book between more substantial reads. It surprised me.

Dan'l and his pals, Nolichucky Jack and Choctaw Indian Zeke Morningstar in particular, are in constant danger as they head north along the Natchez Trace trail from New Orleans to Boonesborough, Daniel Boone's self made hometown. Loaded with silver as payment for delivering large ice blocks to that southern port city, Dan'L and his crew are forced to battle through numerous traps and sneak attacks as they traverse northward.

The story is engaging, the characters well drawn and interesting. Dodge Tyler has an infective style. At times, the the rural, late eighteenth century period slang spewed by the characters is hard to follow, but man, is it fun! Tyler marinates every scene with local flavor and period history without slowing the story down. What I loved most is the humor Tyler laces throughout the book. I belly-laughed many times. Tyler is at his best when he creates a scene involving dialogue banter. Characters continually sling poison-tipped barbs at friends and foes, which broke me up and had me wondering why Tyler isn't more well known.

It's a fun book, Dan'L is a worthy, engaging, hero/protagonist, and I will definitely read more of Dodge Tyler. A three star book bumped up to four stars because Tyler remembered that adventure westerns are about escape and enjoyment. I had a blast reading this tale.

The photographs are beautiful, and the projects are lovely. I only wish they'd given more detailed instructions on some items, such as making flooring from clay.

This is one of the most astounding sea stories I've read. Captain Barnard's narrative is direct, simple and powerful. It really tells the story of a triple marooning--the only one I know. The introduction by Professor Dodge is a "must skip"--it is poorly written and dull. But once you get into Barnard's historic narrative, it is a compelling read. Captain Barnard's narrative begins just prior to the first days of the War of 1812. They set out upon a sealing expedition to the Falkland Islands. The Barnard family (his father is with him--also a sealing captain) is Quaker, and live a ways up the Hudson River. Once upon the Falkland Island, they set up operations (itself a remarkably interesting procedure). In the first few months of the expedition (it is supposed to last about a year or so) they see signal fires from a strange ship. It turns out to be a British ship bound from Australia to England. It has run aground on the Falklands. The Barnard family goes to the British ship's aid, knowing full well the United States is at war with the British. After the rescue (the British shipis ruined) Captain Barnard--in private--informs the British captain (there are British Marines on board) that their two countries are at war. Though they agree to neutrality during their difficulties, the Brits reneg! The British take the Barnard party prisoner--seize their ship and smaller boats, and in turn maroon Captain Barnard with two ordinary seamen on the Falkland Islands. Since few ships went to those islands then, their marooning was essentially a death sentence. The harsh winter was ahead of them. This outstanding narrative is of that marooning--and from this original marooning, things become even more complex. This is a unique read--a little known historic niche. Captain Barnard's narrative is impressive for its detail, composure and--a testimony to masterful seamanship plus mental and spiritual discipline. A must, must read.

Marvin is a kid who tries to do what is right, but somehow his actions get him into trouble! He likes a girl at school and tries to stay away from the school bully. He makes promises and then cannot keep them. He tells a lie that grows and grows!

In this book Megan goes back in time around the Revolutionary War and almost gets to deliver a message to Jefferson himself! This book made me realize how dangerous it was back then and that I am very lucky to live in the world at this moment. This book is something you wouldn't want to miss!

This book is essential in expalining why early childhood programs include the activities they do. the format is easy to read in simple terms and is designed for parents , but will make any director or teacher's job easier.

This Handbook covers everything you could possible want in clearly organized sections & easily understood explanations. It covers & explains every commonly needed aspect of the Plumbing Code & later goes on to explain Installation of everything it talks about in the code section, followed by an explanation of Troubleshooting & Repairs. This book includes a CD-ROM which night be valuable to a plumber as it contains a large variety of trade related business forms. However, this book contains few illustrations/photos & none are color. The book assumes a certain level of knowledge in some areas, i.e., it makes frequent reference to zones 1, 2, & 3 but never explains them, & it includes some diagrams which will be unclear to many outside the trade. Acronyms are defined once & good luck in locating the definition later because you cannot find them in the index. I'm glad I have this book, but for complete coverage, particularly for those of us not in the trade, others books will be needed.

Sepia Prints frankly and cleverly demonstrates the effusive forte of Viola Wiebe's sixty-some years of service in Christ as a missionary to her beloved peoples of India. It is indeed cherished and so rare in these times to witness a persona leaping so vibrantly off the printed page itself! Read ten-thousand anecdotes and become fascinated--not mementarily entertained.
