The Utes: A Forgotten People Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The title of this book is apt, for the author has forgotten to include those Ute groups who lived in, what is now, the state of Utah. This book deals solely with those Ute groups that lived within Colorado. Also the early history of the Utes is largely ignored - 100 plus years of contact with the Spanish...

Norman Rockwell & the Saturday Evening Post: The Later Years Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)With large, full page, full color reproductions of all the Saturday Evening Post covers done by Norman Rockwell in his later tears with the Post, this book is a must have for any Rockwell fan.

American Chronicles: The Art of Norman Rockwell Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I thought this was a worthwhile overview of the life and work of Rockwell. Though it was published to coincide with an exhibition there are only five pages that relate to this in a checklist format of work. The rest of the book has three essays hung around New York, Vermont and Stockbridge where the...

Everybody Has a Body: Science from Head to Toe Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I bought this book on the recommendation of the well-trained mind for PreK/K. I was disappointed, even though I had looked at the table of contents before I bought it. I had forgotten to look at a sample of the actual lessons. I was hoping for a lot more active activities for the senses that would be...

Norman Rockwell & the Saturday Evening Post: The Early Years Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)If you delight in Rockwell's work, then you MUST buy all three volumes of his Saturday Evening Post covers. Lovers of Norman Rockwell should not content themselves with thin sausage factory books that just sample some of his work. The three volumes are great for various reasons, not least of which is...

The First Snowfall Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Anne Rockwell writes some of the best concept books for toddlers. The simple language flows smoothly from page to page and is complemented by clean, uncluttered pencil and watercolor illustrations. This is a great book to share with even the youngest reader as the winter season approaches. My 2-year...

Only Passing Through Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Many a young reader will be shocked by the opening page of this story about slavery in the U.S. For the auction block from which a 9-year-old girl was sold in 1806 was in Kingston, N.Y., not Alabama or Mississippi.Isabella was sold only after a long day in which no bidders showed any interest--until...

We Were the Ramchargers: Inside Drag Racing's Legendary Team Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I was a car nut and amateur drag racer in the late '60s - early '70s, and I was also a MoPar guy, so the Ramchargers, along with Sox & Martin and Dick Landy, were my heroes. I followed them in NHRA's "National Dragster" newspaper and all the car magazines, watched them on ABC's "Wide World of Sports,"...

Distant Shores: The Odyssey of Rockwell Kent Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This effort may not appeal to everyone...certainly not as a coffee table book....but for those of us who follow Kent, his writings, his art and his life story, it is a commendable compliment to the study of his art. This book drove me nuts, so much so that I travelled to Greenland to see the Arctic light...

Norman Rockwell: The Underside of Innocence Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)While Norman Rockwell's paintings are generally seen as imagery of all-American virtues, values, individuals, and scenes, the John Hopkins English professor Halpern sees them as "more challenging and complex" than even the most sophisticated critics have imagined in the recent revival of interest in...
