Book Description
Readers of Princess Sultana's extraordinary story, PRINCESS, were gripped by her powerful indictment of women's lives behind the veil within the royal family of Saudi Arabia. Now, Jean Sasson turns the spotlight on Sultana's two teenage daughters, Maha and Amani.
As second-generation members of the royal family who have benefited from Saudi oil wealth, Maha and Amani have never known the poverty which their grandparents experienced as children. Surrounded by untold opulence and luxury from the day they were born and which they take for granted, but stifled by the unbearably restrictive lifestyle imposed on them, they have reacted in equally desperate ways.
Their dramatic and shocking stories, together with many more which concern other members of Princess Sultana's huge family, are set against a rich backcloth of Saudi Arabian culture and social mores which are depicted with equal color and authenticity. We learn, for example, of the fascinating ritual of the world-famous annual pirlgrimage to Makkah as we accompany the princess and her family to this holiest of cities.
Throughout, however, Sultana never tires of her quest to expose the injustices which her society levels against women. In her couragewious campaign to improve the lot of her own daughters of Arabia, Princess Sultana once more strikes a chord amongst all women who are lucky enough to have the freedom to speak out for themselves.

Princess Series.......2007-01-10
I have read all the books in this series and I would recommmend that they all should be read. I think that these books should be required reading for all high school students. They are an eye opener to the way that part of world thinks and their beliefs. The books are very well written and a fast read.
Good Read.......2006-11-07
Still a good continuation and interesting to learn about the princess's daughters. This book was very short and the stories were an extenion of what went on in the first book. The story was generally based on the prnicess's daughters and thier characters and personalities. How they develop and become different people. One is quite similar to her mother and the other takes after her aunty. It nice to see how the daughters develop into adults after reading about thier mother developing from a child into an adult.
The mother herself changes and swings from one mood to the next and the effect is shown on her as the books pogress and she realises what her weaknesses and tries to deal with them as best she can.
The daughters themselves have an easier life then their mother and one daughter Maha takes this for granted. It was nice to see the love Amani has for animals and the effect shown on her and how she learns to deals with things when she finds her uncles birds are in danger and kept in poor conditions. Also the feelings Maha develops when she witnesses her uncles Herem and the women he is holding there brings an intense and agressive side to Maha who tries her best to help these women out of the place. She is hurt to realise that things like that can happen in Saudia Arabia and in the Royal family. She with her mother try their best to get them out, but are not sucessful and give up.
However, if you take this as a update then you dont be diappointed. If read this thinking you a reading another side to the story or a different theme altogethrethen you may be diappointed.
I enjoyed it.......2006-11-02
I am greatly interested in the Middle East. This book helped me to begin that process of understanding. It is horrific what the fundamentilist's section of their religion has done to the women there.
A Necessary Follow-up.......2006-07-25
I read the first book in the "Princess" series and read this one soon after. At first, it was a bit less exciting than the first book in the trilogy, as it has far less shocking new stories and startling information about life in Saudi Arabia.
However, by the time I finished the book, I realized how important it was. While the first "Princess" book lights a fire in the reader as they feel Princess Sultana's rage with women's rights, "Princess Sultana's Daughters" demonstrates how difficult it is for anyone in Saudi Arabia to have an impact on the barbaric social norms. It is not merely an update on Princess Sultana's life, as she raises 3 teenagers, but rather it is an update on the fight for women's rights in Saudi Arabia. There are several stories of not only women, but also men, in the royal family who want to change many of the social customs that have been so long accepted; yet when they try to reason with authority, rebel against it, or even flee the country, they are most often met with a force greater than themselves, and horrifying consequences. Thus, they are often driven to accept the ways of the culture and keep their mouths shut as they grow old behind the veil.
In short, "Princess Sultana's Daughters" makes you realize that the battle is much harder and the future more grim than the first book would have you beleive. Sadly, it delivers a large dose of reality and a small amount of hope.
Followup.......2006-07-12
This book was filled with a lot of depressing stories, albeit, they were told well and interesting, but they were depressing. However, if you liked the first Princess book, there is no doubt that you'll enjoy this one too.
It's not as good as the first, but it's a pretty good followup.

For all students of aviation history and military buffs.......2001-05-23
Skyraider: The Douglas A-1 "Flying Dump Truck" is the story of an basic American military aircraft from its conception in June 1944 by Douglas Aircraft designer Ed Heinemann, to its initial launch nine months later. It was continuously employed by the U.S. Navy and Air Force during Korea and Vietnam. This sturdy, stubby, prop-driven attack plane was a true aeronautical workhorse and called a "flying dump truck" because of its enormous capacity for ordnance to be delivered to the assigned target. Not only did the American armed forces rely on the A-1 but so did allied forces including the British, French, and Swedish. Navy Captain Rosario Rausa brings a special expertise to his aviation history of this remarkable plane from its beginnings down to its last mission (shooting down MiG jets over Vietnam). These stories of the A-1 and the men who piloted it into aviation history is very highly recommended reading for all students of aviation history and military buffs.
This is an excellant history of the "SPAD".......1999-03-16
CAPT Rausa spent a lot of time researching this work - and even more time strapped into the seat of the Skyraider. The stories, the history, the memories his work rekindles are all tremendous. Some of my stories are reccounted - along with those of officers and men I served with and served under. I loaned my copy to my Dad and found that his Boss was in it! This book is a must for any military aviation afficianado. CWO4 James W. Doran, USN (RET): AOAN, VA-122, A-1E/H/J, 1963-1964 AO3, VA-52, A-1H/J, 1964-1966 AO2, VA-125, A-1E, 1966-1969
Book Description
Translation, before 9/11, was deemed primarily an instrument of international relations, business, education, and culture. Today it seems, more than ever, a matter of war and peace. In The Translation Zone, Emily Apter argues that the field of translation studies, habitually confined to a framework of linguistic fidelity to an original, is ripe for expansion as the basis for a new comparative literature.
Organized around a series of propositions that range from the idea that nothing is translatable to the idea that everything is translatable, The Translation Zone examines the vital role of translation studies in the "invention" of comparative literature as a discipline. Apter emphasizes "language wars" (including the role of mistranslation in the art of war), linguistic incommensurability in translation studies, the tension between textual and cultural translation, the role of translation in shaping a global literary canon, the resistance to Anglophone dominance, and the impact of translation technologies on the very notion of how translation is defined. The book speaks to a range of disciplines and spans the globe.
Ultimately, The Translation Zone maintains that a new comparative literature must take stock of the political impact of translation technologies on the definition of foreign or symbolic languages in the humanities, while recognizing the complexity of language politics in a world at once more monolingual and more multilingual.

It's no wonder that Parrot in the Oven won the 1996 National Book Award for Young People's Fiction. Victor Martinez's lush, evocative prose leaps from the page, grabbing the reader by the throat right from the start. Not only do we witness Manuel Hernandez's coming of age, we feel every juicy moment of it: his ache for something just out of reach, the confusion of seeing his family with new eyes, the tickle and flood of awakening passion. It's difficult to portray transformation from the inside, but Martinez does so with grace and power.
Book Description
Dad believed people were like money. You could be a thousand-dollar person or a hundred-dollar person -- even a ten-, five-, or one-dollar person. Below that, everybody was just nickels and dimes. To my dad, we were pennies.
Fourteen-year-old Manny Hernandez wants to be more than just a penny. He wants to be a vato firme, the kind of guy people respect. But that's not easy when your father is abusive, your brother can't hold a job, and your mother scrubs the house as if she can wash her troubles away.
In Manny's neighborhood, the way to get respect is to be in a gang. But Manny's not sure that joining a gang is the solution. Because, after all, it's his life -- and he wants to be the one to decide what happens to it.

Parrot in the Oven Kids Review.......2007-05-11
We think that this book is good for kids who are age 10 and up. Our favorite part of the book is when Victor has family problems with his mom and dad. This is one of the most important parts of the book that many students can relate to. The book is about a boy named Victor with family problems, and the reader learns about his entire life. The people who would like this book are people who enjoy real life stories, such as an autobiography.
nothing spectacular in Parrot..........2007-05-03
I'm sorry but I really do not see what was special in Martinez' *Parrot in the Oven* that reaped him some awards. I did not see anything special about the story. However, I do agree that Martinez does have a way with words. They were eye-catching and made you wonder.
*Parrot in the Oven* is divided into chapters that each one focuses on one particular topic. While there is a subtle storyline throughout, the overall picture is blurred. There's that "missing link" that prevents you from knowing each characters in the book. Simply, there's no depth other than with Manny.
The book is told from Manny's perspectives. His dad has lost his job. He simply goes to the local pool hall and spends whatever money he can find and gets drunk. The mother is constantly cleaning the house. His older brother is never home and constantly has a new job. His older sister is secretive. His baby sister is simply a brat.
Manny tells his experiences with school, White people, boxing, and the gang. Most of all, he tells how these experiences impact his family and their world-view.
*Parrot in the Oven* is an alright book. It's nothing that you'd go around and recommend this book to friends. Just simply ok. The only best thing is Martinez' ways with words.
Lacking Plot.......2007-02-15
Manuel is fourteen years old and living close to the Mexican border. He is Mexican-American himself. His life is full of conflicts, from his father who is alcoholic and abusive and can't seem to keep a job, to his passive mother who lets herself be scared and abused, to his three siblings.
This books is about Manuel's struggle to find himself and to figure out his life. It takes the reader on a journey through about a year in Manuel's life, and we get to see the things he interacts with daily, from his family situation to the bullies who live on his street, to the other people who surround him. Even though he sometimes has problems, like when he is invited to a party full of all white kids and things start to go bad, Manuel always manages to keep his head on his shoulders and get through things okay. Even though his family is dysfunctional, the reader is able to see some good in them.
The language in this book is beautiful; the author has a gift for stringing together very poetic sentences. However, there wasn't any sort of cohesive storyline. I kept trying to wrestle the individual parts of the story into a plot, and was frustrated when they remained disjointed until the end.
NON-FICTION.......2007-02-06
Something that many readers do not realize is that Parrot in the Oven is complete non-fiction. Understanding this, hopefully many will now see that Martinez is not free to create the most climactic and action-packed plot possible. Still, Parrot in the Oven is a wonderfully juxtaposed story of a boy's journey through the early stages of adolescence, detailing his struggle through prevalent racist mentalities and social boundaries. Beautiful, even more so if you understand that it's non-fiction.
Parrot In The Oven.......2006-11-03
Manny is a 14-year-old kid who wants to be more than just a penny he wants to be a vato firme. Parrot in the Oven is by Victor Martinez. This book is about a dad that is abusive, his brother can't hold a job, and mom acts like she can scrub all her problems away. I like this book because it is interesting. This book is interesting because dad tries to kill mom with his rifle, dad went to jail, Manny helps his brother on the job, Magda is having a baby and Manny is going to a party that he doesn't fill right going to. It has, causes and effects like dad tries to kill mom, dad goes to jail. I won't to read this book again and again. The author properly wrote even better books then Parrot in the Oven. Yes, I would recommend this book to others. Like my mother because she likes the books we read as a class and she knows the Spanish lines because she speaks Spanish.

Book Description
Returning for the summer to Drift House, their uncle’s seagoing mansion, Susan and Charles Oakenfeld find themselves separated when a tidal wave carries the house out to sea. Charles is stuck up a tree with a parrot and a mysterious book, while Susan and Uncle Farley are adrift in the house. As each attempts to track the source of the time squall that set the tidal wave in motion, it soon becomes clear that they are separated not just by space, but centuries. From the coast of Newfoundland, to the rocky shores of medieval Greenland, to the tumbling tower of Babel, Charles and Susan are in for much more of an adventure than they could have imagined, and whether or not they get home again is out of their control . . .

Adventure, humor and drama.......2007-06-05
Charles and Susan Oakenfeld return home from their last day of school, looking forward to spending the summer with their Uncle Farley and uncovering more mysteries of Drift House. Their doorman, Mr. Ramirez, gives them an oilskin-wrapped package signed with their names (more like nicknames actually), and Charles and Susan are puzzled. They begin to suspect that it's from Mario of the Sea of Time, who has a rather curious connection to their younger brother Murray.
Their attention is diverted briefly from the parcel when they learn that Murray has chicken pox and will be joining them at their Uncle Farley's at a later time. The three siblings then open the package and discover a book titled THE LOST CITIES --- but are baffled by its origin and purpose.
There are more surprises in store for the Oakenfeld children. They're picked up by the mysterious Mr. Zenubian, who turns out to be a weathered, strange-looking man. They aren't sure what to think of this awkward introduction but are relieved to finally reach Drift House.
Meanwhile, the mysterious book has a strong effect on Charles, making him particularly keen to uncover its secrets without his older sister's help. After he and President Wilson catch Mr. Zenubian stealthily looking at THE LOST CITIES, Uncle Farley asks questions about the book and why the caretaker was looking at it. An angry Mr. Zenubian leaves, but not without taking the small radio. While the Oakenfeld relatives try to make sense of the strange events that have recently unfolded --- each in their own way --- a tidal wave sweeps Drift House out to the Sea of Time, separating the family.
Now, Charles and President Wilson are roaming in possibly 17th- or 18th- century Canada where they meet the Wendat, while Susan and Uncle Farley are sailing across the Sea of Time on their way to 15th-century Greenland known for the Vikings. As the two teams of adventurers search for the source of the time squall (the reason for the tidal wave) while making their way back home to the 21st-century, they discover what the Lost Cities are --- one of them being the Tower of Babel --- and the exciting yet somber effects they may have on the family's past, present and future.
THE LOST CITIES is a sequel to THE FIRST VOYAGE that has much to offer: adventure, humor and drama. However, there are some action scenes and historical references that might confuse and bother some younger readers, so it would be a good idea for them to discuss the book with someone older. Still, this is a great page-turner full of new characters, twists and turns that answers some questions from the first book while laying the foundation for a third one.

Book Description
This thought provoking book presents opposing views on a number of controversial issues relating to human sexuality, relationships, individual choice, and family policy. Eloquent representatives of conservative, religious, or traditional opinion debate a variety of topics with defenders of newer, alternative lifestyles. The issues covered include bisexuality and homosexuality, birth control and sterilization, premarital and extramarital sex, sex education, sex therapy methods and ethics, artificial insemination and surrogate parents, the role of the state and law in family policy, prostitution and pornography.
`...this book will be more than welcomed by health educators for the help it will give in the preparation of training and education programmes which hitherto have been too one-sided. Valuable too for the general reader who wishes to come to personal decisions about sexuality.' -- Journal of the Institute of Health Education, Vol 22 No 2, 1984
`The radical pros and cons of each extreme view are presented, as well as a compromising view when one is possible. Perhaps the most refreshing aspect of this book is its approach of viewing each issue with total objectivity, allowing the reader to draw his own conclusions...As this book provides an abundance of information about sex without any associated value judgements or biases, it may be most valuable in the educational environment. Not only young adults preparing to embark upon their sexual lives, but parents trying to educate their children objectively may benefit.' -- British Journal of Psychology, March 1985
`This book paints the subject of human sexuality with a broad brush and many of the contributors are recognized authorities in the field. Anyone interested in one of the most pressing problems of our time should read it...' -- Contemporary Review, July 1985

Book Description
Edward Lear's album of parrots contains the finest illustrations of the family ever produced. Lear (1812-88) turned his hand to many things in the course of his artistic and literary life—landscape painting, nonsense verse, and the illustration of birds and reptiles. His work as a natural history draftsman lasted little more than the first decade of his career, until his eyesight became too weak for the detail of feathers and scales. The Psittacidae is Edward Lear's most remarkable achievement: he conveyed with telling sympathy the carriage of a bird, the grasp of the claws, the tilt of the head, its grave, curious, or quizzical expression. The book, first issued in parts, was drawn, lithographed, and published on a shoestring by Lear himself in a tiny edition. Commentary by Robert McCracken Peck.

An excellent cd. Even the 1973 reprint of the book fetches over £500 these days so the cd is particularly welcome.
I found the colour and reproduction to be first class throughout.
