Book Description
He decreed statutes for Jacob and established the law in Israel,
which he commanded our forefathers to teach their children,
So the next generation would know them,
even the children yet to be born,
and they in turn would tell their children.
Then they would put their trust in God
and would not forget his
deeds but would keep his commands.
(Psalm 78:5-7 NIV)
Remember, it all began with a choice. Choices are the hinges on which our heritage swings. We can choose to perpetuate the good handed to us, or reject the good and replace it with bad choices. We can choose to perpetuate the bad, or lay it aside and replace it with good choices. I was sent to this generation as a messenger from a man who was illegitimate, uneducated, and signed his name with an X. This man probably suffered many of the things in life that you have suffered. But he chose to create for me a legacy of love and freedom, and I am choosing to create one with my husband, J. Otis. This is my story. We hope you will use it as a springboard and inspiration to keep your family flame burning.

Single Mom's point of view.......2007-06-13
Parenting doesn't have to be a battle. It can be enjoyable. As a single mom, this book has been a great tool to help me create a better environment to raise my children in. A very good read, easy to apply - I highly recommend to all parents; traditional or non-traditional, Christian and non-Christian alike.
Outrageously practical - full of tips!.......1998-09-16
The authors compare the fragrance of the home to the atmosphere that is created by the parents. It revolves around the acrostic "A-R-O-M-A" which stands for Affection, Respect, Order, Merriment, and Affirmation. The foundation for each word in the acrostic is first set up in the chapter, then practical guidelines are suggested and each chapter ends with a plethora of practical tips.
Many family books come across judgmental. This book does not. It points out some errors found in every home, and helps the reader find solutions.
It is one book in the line of many books produced by Heritage Builders Association, a network of families intent on passing a healthy legacy to the next generation.

A Garden Full of Love.......2001-08-14
I discovered this little gem of a book recently on a trip out West. The artwork on the cover caught my eye. Since I am planning a 50th birthday celebration with my closest women friends, I was looking for a gift I could give to honor them. Sandra Kuck's beautiful illustrations and chosen poetry from great masters was just the ticket. The metaphor of a rose garden is a beautiful expression of the sacred aroma of deep and abiding relationship. The beauty in this book, both visual and written is an expression of the beauty that is reflected in the woman I call my friends.
Book Description
IT WAS A CONSPIRACY TO HIDE A SECRET EXPERIMENT
"RAAF captures flying saucer on ranch in Roswell region." Ever since this provocative headline appeared on July 8, 1947, conspiracy theorists have sincerely believed that the U.S. government has maintained an extensive operation of cover-up-and-denial regarding its knowledge of alien life. But there was, in fact, no UFO crash with dead alien bodies. What really happened on that fateful day is much more sinister. The persistent rumors surrounding the UFO crash in Roswell, New Mexico, are part of a bigger conspiracy -- one orchestrated and fostered by the government itself as a smokescreen to bury a truth that is much darker, and disturbingly, far more believable.
Now, through never-before-revealed testimony from military whistleblowers, eyewitness intelligence reports, and an astonishing body of corroborative evidence, Nick Redfern lays out a shockingly plausible new theory on the Roswell incident: that the crash-site discovery of prototype military aircraft would expose a damning secret -- a highly confidential, U.S. government-sanctioned program to conduct medical experiments on deformed, handicapped, disfigured, and diseased Japanese POWs, exploited as "expendable" victims by their captors.
An important account that forces us to take a closer look at both the Roswell story and post-war American history, BODY SNATCHERS IN THE DESERT casts a startling, new light on a shocking conspiracy more than half a century in the making.

Even believers in space aliens aren't necessarily open-minded.......2007-07-03
I've always been hesitant to believe the ET explanation for Roswell for the same reason that the grandmaster of ufology, Jacques Vallee, is: the ufonauts seem too damn sophisticated to "crash" accidentally--and leave bodies behind, besides. So if what happened at Roswell in the first week of July '47 really did involve aliens (whether interdimensional or extraterrestrial), then it seems likely that it would had to have been done entirely intentionally, to see how we'd respond (or for some similar purpose).
It's also always seemed unlikely to me that the US military actually knows what's going on better than serious civilian ufologists, and far more likely that since 1947 they've been committed to presenting an appearance of knowing far more than they actually do (so that the general populace thinks the UFO phenomonon is either completely bogus, or that the military knows what's up and keeping it under wraps; in either case, the impression will be that everything is under control, and we won't have to worry that our powerful leaders are actually as much at a loss as anyone else). The "leaked" documents over the past few decades (MJ-12, etc.), the hype around Area 51, and the transparently absurd "crash dummies" explanation the USAF gave in 1997 for the Roswell bodies seem to support this idea--that elements of the government want us to think they've actually got space aliens to hide. It would work to their advantage in many ways--particularly in keeping classified projects hidden under the mask of "ET spaceships," which keeps the UFO believers happy and the UFO disbelievers scoffing at any such assertions. Meanwhile, advanced military technology can quietly go about its business, either believed to be something it's not or dismissed outright as not worth paying attention to, but in neither case examined more closely for what it actually is.
I think Nick Redfern's "Body Snatchers" is a tremendous contribution to the Roswell mythos, despite Stanton Friedman's scathing review (on his website) to the contrary. Friedman is a hero of mine (his Roswell books "Crash at Corona" and "Top Secret/Majic" are some of the best-researched, sensible approaches to this mystery out there), so I'd initially sided with him on his analysis of this book when it first came out. But last year I decided to take a closer look at Redfern's work myself, and I'm glad I did. Redfern's explanation, while perhaps a bit hard to believe itself, seems to present the most plausible explanation yet for what happened at Roswell. Ufologists say, "If it was just a Project Mogul balloon train, as the air force insists, then why all the military secrecy and panic around the time of the incident? What of the Ramey memorandum, the eyewitness accounts of small "Oriental" bodies, etc.? And why did the Roswell Army Air Field seem to not know anything about it beforehand?" But if, as Redfern contends, it was a top-secret high-altitude military experiment launched from Los Alamos, NM, involving deformed Japanese POWs, then the heinous nature of such an experiment-gone-awry is reason enough for the decades of secrecy, and it explains both the panic, confusion, and the Asian bodies in a way that makes a great deal of sense without invoking our friendly neighborhood visitors. Redfern's explanation for the origin of Majestic 12 was another clincher for me; it made total sense and smacked of exactly the kind of humor certain members of the US intelligence agency have no doubt been delighting in--and taunting sincere ufologists with--for decades (shameless bastards that they are).
Read it, open your mind, and think for yourself... I still don't know what actually happened, but I have a better overview of the possibilities thanks to Redfern, and for that I'm grateful for his efforts.
Japanese midget prisoners with progeria?.......2006-02-23
The authors aim was to offer a prosaic explanation for the Roswell UFO crash. However, the author creates or hangs his explanation on a maze of speculation and hearsay, best summarised in two parts.
[1]. CAUSE: Four Chinese or Japanese midget prisoners with progeria are transfer from the Japanese 731 Unit (Japan's Secret Biological Warfare Unit) in Manchuria to the United States (all secret). These progeria midgets are taught to pilot a Japanese version of the German Horten glider suspended below a Fugo balloon hybrid type flying device. The midgets on this occasion are sent up by the US to study something, in the upper atmosphere, nuclear energy for propulsion aircraft, radiation experiments, I don't know? But the hapless crew are sent up by the US Army (more secrets), their glider starts to spin and breaks up, one of the Chinese/Japanese progeria midgets is sucked out of the glider and... Oh I have to stop!!!!
[2]. SOURCE - Well would you believe 4 anonymous people. The primary tail tellers are called the "Black Widow" and an army "Colonel"? That's it!
The author attempts to link the whole scenario with official documents but fails badly. I wonder how the editor of this abomination kept a straight face. In fact the `crash alien space craft' story had a better chance of being real than this account. Look for better sourced material on the Roswell incident.
Down in flames. Save your money.

Non-human activities.......2005-12-16
Visit Roswell.
You'll see pronghorn antelopes. Endearing creatures. Especially the male, who will quickly move to the front of the herd when you stop the car or get off your bicycle. He fears you fancy his wives, you see.
If the animals are not evident, check the areas west of town. They're especially common there, and you'll probably encounter some without much searching or property rights violations.
If you're still stymied, ask the locals. Especially recent Mexican immigrants, as they tend to be more alert and observant than older European-derived inhabitants, especially the Anglos (a not altogether accurate term, as they may really be Danes or Poles or some amalgam)who may well be in a daze from too much television watching and Internet surfing. In addition, the Apaches are still in the uplands to the west and may have seen pronghorn recently.
All of these denizens of this area may have ideas about space aliens as well. I include the pronghorns. These last are not so likely to laugh in your face when you ask, or try to part you from whatever is left in your wallet.
Roswell and Postwar Human Experimentation.......2005-11-28
Of all the books on Roswell, this book makes historical sense. With all the lies, deceptions, international cloak and dagger psychological fabrications we've all read about over the years concerning Roswell and UFOs, Nick's research and eyewitness testimony is compelling. When you realize that in the late 40's and 50's the generation that was running this country had just fought two World Wars, and now were in the grip of the Cold War with the Soviet Union, a change in morality and mindset had to occur. After discovering the technologically advanced aircraft designs, and the medical advancements that were made through the torture and horrific experimentation on so called 'expendable human beings' from Nazi and Japanese scientist, an international conspiracy of epic proportions had to be created. The goal to continue the work clandestinely. This book shows that there was more going on in the desert than just crashed ufos and alien bodies.
Another Roswell Story.......2005-09-20
This is an interesting story which purports to explain the Roswell story. If the story is true, then it could explain Roswell. If its not true, its just another jewel encrusted helmet on the Roswell dung heap.
The basic Roswell story has been around for years, with quite a number of witnesses from ranking officers down telling a story about the crash of an ET ship, the recovery of bodies and so forth.
Over the years we have heard quite a number of people attempt to explain away Roswell, with very little sucess. We have also heard various witnesses come forward and tell incredible stories that can be verified, and we have heard some incredible stories that cannot be verified. We have had witness tell inaccurate stories and so on and so forth.
The problems with the stories told by people in the Redfern book (not the author) is that we are again dealing with people who are telling an incredible story, yet we don't know as yet IF the their background can be independently verified or checked out. Did they actually in fact work where they claimed to have worked? Did they actually hold the rank and or position they claimed to have been? Does anybody that worked at those locations recall them?
For example I remember a person who purported himself to be an Air Force Colonel who told some pretty incredible stories. When people finally got around to independently checking his background, such as supposed service records and unit historys, people found out that he didn't even show up. He pretty much faded away after that.
Even if the witnesses can be checked out and verified, apparently there are no documents that can verify the story these witnesses told Nick Redfern...at this point.
So in the end we have an interesting story that may be true. Time and further research will tell.

As an Undergraduate reading this.........2007-01-29
When I read this. I'm like what? Just reading the first 10 pages of the beginning I get this confusion. This book is just a bunch of facts stuffed together. In one paragraph you can see different dates jumping around. First it's 1640 then the next setence it goes back to 1590s. What is it saying? Too bad I have to use this book for my class, otherwise I would not recommend it as a reference or textbook for another history class.
Customer Reviews:
since the Industrial Revolution.......2006-12-08
Hunt and the co-authors offer a balanced and objective treatment of the development of Europe and the European-derived countries like the United States. The nominal starting date of 1740 for the events in the book can be considered approximately close enough to the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.
The narrative discusses much. Including the rise of ideologies like capitalism and communism. Thus the space devoted to Marx and Engels and their influences on Lenin. Many social changes are covered. Often brought about by increasing industrialisation. But we also see the rise of the modern nation state. A trend disasterously climaxed by two World Wars.
The writing is careful to tie together many ideas and trends. And despite having many authors, the writing styles do not seem distinct, which is probably deliberate on the part of the authors.
A fascinating and illuminating book.......2006-09-09
This is a fascinating history of Western civilization that goes beyond the customary emphasis on kings and battles to looking also at changes in the culture and ideas of people over the centuries. It's so enjoyable that it is bedside reading for me, though still very authoritative. The many illustrations, often of period art, add to its appeal. It will tremendously broaden your understanding of how our society came to be what it is today.
Good Text Book.......2005-11-12
This is a great text book. The information is interesting, unlike many history books I've previously read. It is beautifully illustrated. And the 1000+ pages will help you exercise.

gives depth to your appreciation of history.......2006-12-08
This little text is a good accompaniment to the main book, "Making of the West". Here, Lualdi takes the student in a tour of excerpts from original source documents. Translated where necessary from other languages.
So you can see a lengthy essay written on the eve of the French Revolution. Asking, "What is the Third Estate?" This Estate was the impotent assembly that represented the French people, as contrasted to the other Estates that drew from the aristocracy. The essay neatly encapsulates the rising demands of the majority of the people; suggesting why the Revolution occurred.
The book has many other examples. All fitting to give depth to your appreciation of modern history.

An invaluable reference for lovers of Audubon's art.......2007-03-13
This review refers to the book subtitled "The complete collection of 435 illustrations from the most famous bird book in the world." The book was published in several editions between 1997 and 2000. The publishers of which I am aware include Welcome Rain, Laurel Glen, and Wordsworth. Do not confuse this book with other books reproducing Audubon's Birds of America with the same or similar title.
This is the best book available for anyone who wishes to see accurate reproductions of Audubon's greatest work, the Double Elephant Folio edition of Birds of America. Produced in collaboration with the uniquely talented printer/artist, Robert Havell, Audubon's massive work is (as the subtitle of this book says) the most famous bird book in the world. As such, the Double Elephant Folio deserves to be reproduced as it really is, with all titles, part and plate numbers, and credits to artist and printer that are part of the original plates. This is the only book of several on the market (whether used or in print) that allows the reader to see the plates-all 435 of them--as they actually appear in the original work.
As a collector and art dealer, I use this book constantly, but I have never spent much time looking at the text. It consists of brief notes to each plate (primarily factual information on the specific birds pictured). Although the 2-page introduction gets the basic facts of Audubon's life right, I noticed many significant errors. The book also has organizational flaws (including the lack of an index to the plates or even page numbers to allow you to quickly locate specific plates). Nevertheless, the color and printing is very good to excellent on most of the images, and it is generally superior to that of other Audubon art books. Until something better comes along, I would consider this book a "must-have" for any serious student or collector of Audubon's art.
Great Book, a few flaws.......1998-02-09
Good sharp, clear rendering of Audubon's 435 Birds. The images appear to be photo offsets of the original Havell prints, including small flaws like spots and tears. No page or image numbers. You have to pencil in your own by using the excellent table of contents at the back of the book. Solid, high quality binding. Excellent addition to any birdwatcher's library.
