The Eagle's Call is the most inspirational and thought provoking book I have ever read. This book has had a profound impact on me and has caused me to think a lot about my own life journey.

Two things that strike me the most from this book is the author's strong ability of intuition and the fact that he is not afraid to take action.

Mr. Ryan provides an interesting and inspiring account of his life journey. Reading about his life journey will encourage you to examine yours in a positive light.

The "eagle's shadow" is a metaphor for great wealth: "The Eagle suffers little birds to sing, And is not careful what they mean thereby, Knowing that with the shadow of his wing, He can at pleasure still their melody." The Romans were keenly aware of the effect of the "eagle's shadow" as evidenced by the translation of the Latin quotation on the title page of the book: "Futhermore, in that place under the shadow of the eagle: The mob trembles, the Senate dawdles, the nobility gaze on impotently, the judges are compliant, the theologians remain silent, and the lawyers are obsequious while law and custom are ignored." The story is a narrative by Richard Fenton Harrowby who called his tale "the comedy of Margaret Hugonin and the eagle. A story which he completed on 14 April 1923. Margaret Hugonin was the daughter of Col. Thomas Hugonin, an English cavalry officer, and Margaret Musgrave. The colonel's wife had a twin sister named Martha Musgrave who had married Frederick R. Woods, a stock trader on Wall Street who had amassed a fortune. Harrowby wrote: "For the scene of this comedy is laid in the ineffably remote strange days of Colonel Roosevelt's first presidential term. Looking backward, I can remember, but not quite believe in, the queer world we then inhabited: and most droll of all do I find our faith in its stability. For it seemed a fixed and eternally ordered place, a place which was, with minor improvements here and there, to last forever: yet neither Sidon nor Sumeria appears--now--to be more remote than is the America of that day." In the early 1880's, when Frederick R. Woods turned 65, he retired from Wall Street and moved to a site near the Lichfield town of Fairhaven that had once belonged to a 17th century ancestor named Lt. Gervase Woods. On that site he built a handsome Tudor style home which he named Selwoode Mansion. He hired a genealogist who traced his ancestry back to Woden, and determined that the family arms of the Woods sported an eagle. The eagle so fascinated him that he had it carved into the woodwork, set in mosaics, chased in the tableware, woven into the napery, and glazed into the China of Selwoode. Frederick and his wife were childless, but his brother William had one son named Billy Williams, and Frederick named him as his heir. However, when Billy turned 18, he informed his uncle that he intended to study to become a painter, much to his uncle's disapproval. Billy went off to college, earned his degree in fine arts and returned to Selwoode to find that his uncle had invited Col. Hugonin and Margaret to be long-term guests at Selwoode. Frederick ordered Billy to wed Margaret Hugonin. Billy refused to marry her and left Selwoode. In turn, Frederick named Margaret as his heir and when he died Margaret came into a fortune, after which, she struggled to come to terms with her vast wealth while supporting an entourage of hangers-on, and warding off marriage proposals. Later Billy returns to Selwoode, conflicting wills are found and Margaret and Billy struggle to come to terms with one another. The story line is fluent, entertaining and contains gems of subdued wit.

Gary Maier's The Eagle's Voice: Tales Told By Indian Effigy Mounds is a kind of anthropological detective story based on Maier's research involving a group of about fifty Indian effigy and conical mounts located on the north shore of Lake Mendota, in Madison, Wisconsin. In his explorations Maier developed a new understanding and insight into these structures which had fascinated and puzzled Europeans and Americans from the 1830s down to the present day. Exceptionally "reader friendly", The Eagle's Voice is enthusiastically recommended reading for the non-specialist general reader with an interest in Native American culture in general, and the effigy mounds of Wisconsin in particular.

I loved this book my mom got 2-6 at a garage sale and I would spend hours in my room reading book after book.I haven't gotten my hands on book 1 yet but I'm sure I'll enjoy it just as much as the others!:) 0<-

This is the most awesome book I have read in a long time. It has helped many people in my life understand how to benefit from spiritual warfare. It gives hope to the person that God is with them and helping them through when satan attacks them. It is sad that such a great author is no longer with us, but She is with the Lord and that gives us comfort.

This book is written in standard Guitar/Piano format, where each line of music includes piano scores as well as guitar chord boxes (dots, no finger numbers) on top of the melody line. The 10 songs included in the selection are from 4 different albums, and copies of the album covers preceed the songs selected from that album. The printing is excellent, with a font that's good sized and easy on the eyes. There are generally four lines of music to a page. All the lyrics appear with the lines of music, making this an easy read for the beginner or memory impaired older player like myself. The songs are: Take It Easy, Witchy Woman, Lyin Eyes, Already Gone, Desperado, One of These Nights, Tequila Sunrise, Take It to the Limit, Peaceful Easy Feelin, The Best of my love. Overall, I found this to be an excellent book with a very good selection of popular Eagles tunes.

Some song will float in your head for many minutes after it is done. When you hear the first several bars of music - at first you may not know the name of the song (or who sang it), but some where from deep inside of you the words come to your mouth and you sing along with the radio. The Eagles is one of those groups that had songs you will find yourself doing just that.

I came to this novel after being mildly disappointed by'Ice'.. (I have since revised my impression of 'Ice'after reading it asecond time.) Where as 'Ice' is a cold and bitter novel about futile struggle 'Eagle's Nest' is hot, exotic and hallucinogenic. The naturally occurring 'drugs' that distort reality from time to time in the heat of the remote location our hero has fled to, create an eerie and lasting vision. And the flight from this place of apparent refuge returns the reader to the cold reality of everyday life - for me, with quite a jolt.

Dorothy Patent's book joins the other books in this genre for kids at the head of the list. The text is clear, interesting, and informative. The photos are wonderful. It has already been permanently borrowed from the library by a young fan. Our school is in Western Montana and the youngsters have a great interest in books about animals native to this part of the country. Ms Patent's other books are well-read here!
