Another masterpiece by Dr. Ottesen!.......2003-11-09

Read it and get inspired. I will claim that this book is the reason why I'm a rich man today!

moneymaker!.......2003-11-09

This book will make you rich! Just by reading this book my small company expanded from 5 to 150 workers, I thank the writer for making my life better. It's simply a cheap way to get rich!

Cut through the marcomm fluff!.......2001-08-11

I've studied the original Norwegian edition and Ottesen's holistic view is an epiphany. If you're as frustrated as I was with the lack of stratetic orientation and vision in market communication literature this book is what you need to read. It's not a magic bullet, but the insightfulness of Mr. Ottesen will make you go back and reconsider your communication strategy, especially the way you prioritize the resources. The best recommendation is that ad agencies will hate this book!

A Delicious Exploration of the Thanksgiving Holiday

Thanksgiving is the quintessential American holiday, with 97 percent of Americans eating turkey on that day. But beyond the bird, the menu is as varied as the cultures of the nation’s melting pot—and every recipe tells a story. Giving Thanks explores the delicious, fascinating history of Thanksgiving, complete with trivia, recipes, and an amazing collection of archival imagery of the holiday’s history.

Oliver and the world-famous Plimoth Plantation trace the colorful history of the holiday, from the story of “The First Thanksgiving” to twenty-first-century customs. Then the real fun begins—a delicious assortment of more than eighty recipes, from appetizers to desserts, old-fashioned mincemeat pies to modern pumpkin cheesecake, generously seasoned with plenty of fascinating trivia.

Giving Thanks shows that there’s definitely more to Thanksgiving cookery than sage stuffing and pumpkin pie, highlighting favorites from throughout the holiday’s history and from an incredible variety of cultures. Recipes include five different ways to prepare turkey, from Classic New England to Indian and Cuban; Oyster Stew and Pomegranate and Persimmon Salad; Creamed Onions and Corn Pudding; and pies galore, from Cranberry Pear to Texas Buttermilk.

Filled with a vibrant, fascinating collection of Thanksgiving photographs and illustrations from Plimoth Plantation’s unparalleled archives, Giving Thanks brings the history of Thanksgiving to life in an incredibly delicious way.

A fantastic book to read! The recipes we tried were outstanding-easy to read directions & the history behind each dish was a treat to read. I am looking forward to using these recipes at our Thanksgiving this year.

Giving Thanks for "Giving Thanks"........2005-10-15

This is a fun book. The book has great trivia and history, and a great variety of the old traditional recipes. But along with that, are the recipes created by the different cultures of our "Melting Pot", who adapted their own wonderful tastes and flavors to their Thanksgiving celebration. This year, my family is going use only recipes in this cookbook to make a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner.

Heartwarming and delicious!.......2005-10-14

I loved "Giving Thanks". It is not only a comprehensive history of Thanksgiving and collection of everyone's favorite recipes (and then some), it is also a beautifully written feel-good book. Somehow the authors have managed to capture the love, spirit of connection and gratitude for life that surrounds this holiday and make it readily accessible to even this solitary reader. I highly recommend it!

Customer Reviews:

An excellent and surprisingly entertaining book........1997-10-07

In a genre full of cumbersome, slow reading books, "The Wise Investor," stands out as being both informative and entertaining. I read this book in only a few sittings and feel more confident in planning for the future. Instead of giving specific "get-rich-quick" schemes, this book focuses on educating the reader to use their own ideas more effectively. Overall, A+.

Book Description

The main idea upon which the essays in this book are built is that the power and success of business is ultimately based on one's beliefs about life's meaning. It is no exaggeration to suggest that corporate success is set in motion and encouraged by a set of core ethics values shared by managers, employees, and stockholders. This book reflects the unflinching belief that traditional Jewish sources provide useful and practical paradigms and solutions to many important issues facing the modern business manager. Jewish business ethics must begin by taking both business and Jewish ethics seriously.

Book Description

When a childhood illness leaves her blind and deaf, Helen Keller's life seems hopeless indeed. But her indomitable will and the help of a devoted teacher empower Helen to triumph over incredible adversity. This amazing true story is finally brought to the beginner reader level.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent Book for Beginning Reader.......2006-06-11

Because of my husband's work, we have unfortunately had to move around quite a bit. I was looking for English books for my 8 year old that would be at her reading level yet would be engaging. This fit the bill.
My daughter eagerly read the book (and has read it several times now) and has begun to ask me many questions about Helen Keller, braille, blindness and deafness, etc. Marvellous! I was quite pleased with the results.
I did not purchase this book as an historical treatise and so did not expect it to go at length into Helen Keller's life. But my daughter could relate to the story of a young girl who is presented with tremendous challenges and not only overcomes but succeeds in living a fruitful, rewarding and exemplary life. Because it is written in a "chewable" English, she didn't give up on the book. I found this book to be very positive.
The "Step Into Reading" series on the whole I found to be very good. Historical topics tend to be chosen rather than "fairy" stories for content. The writing style is challenging but not out-of-reach. And the books are engaging.
I do not hesitate to recommend this book for 6 - 8 year olds. Encouraging girls to read about positive female role models - - I do think Helen Keller would approve.

The brave deaf and blind girl.......2004-06-04

It was about a girl name Helen Keller. She was born on June,27 1880. She lived on a farm in Alabama. But one day she had a high fever and cause her to go blind and deaf. Her parents couldn't tell if she was hungry,tried, or thrist. When she wake up in the middle of the night she thought it was moring and cryed for her breakfast. Finally her parents ask for help then this young lady ask name Anne Sullivan. Anne was once almost blind but she had several operations to help her see again. At first Helen gave her problems. Whatever Helen did to Anne she would do the same to her. Later Helen learned to listen to Anne. She also learned how to do sign language to deaf people or people that can see and hear. Helen's parents were very proud of her because she learned how to do many things that a person like her couldn't do. Helen later went to college and became famous. Then she passed away before eieght-first birthday.

I recommend this book because it tells about how a girl can do something with her life even though she's blind.

so-so story about a great woman.......2004-01-05

Any information children get about Helen Keller is probably better than none. The title Courage in the Dark, is oh so cliche. If she was only blind, she wouldn't have been so well known. Blindness only cut her off from objects, it was her deafness that isolated her from communication. The combination of being blind and deaf defined challenges for her. The book gives the play-by-play about her life with little details. She earned a college degree reading fingerspelling into her palm. This was a period few when women even went to college. An enormous deal should have been made about her never giving up. There are probably better books about Helen Keller and I would encourage anyone to learn more about Deaf Culture. It is quite amazing how they fought for the same rights everyone else had. If you are looking for information on people like Helen Keller, try the deaf-blind lions club in your area.

A Shameful Book!.......2002-10-13

The authors and publishers should be ashamed. Helen Kellers's life was NOT simply filled with "silence and darkness", as the authors write. She was a fighter for women's rights, including the right to vote. She denounced the murder of coal miners by John D. Rockefeller. She helped found the American Civil Liberties Union. She worked tirelessly for peace. She lived a long, full NOISY 88 years.

This book reduces her to a permanent teenager, and an image on a postage stamp. This book misinforms young people, and gives them a ridiculous idea of what Helen Keller was really all about.

Excellent Book!.......2002-07-04

I first read this book to my daughter when she was 5 years old, and she has been fascinated with Helen Keller ever since. We have read and reread this book numerous times, and she never loses interest. This led to buying other Helen Keller books and an interest in learning sign language. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has a young child. It's a great book for getting a child interested in true stories/biographies!

Perfect for young minds.......2003-09-22

The first reviewer forgot to read the title; it is called "Young Helen Keller" so it definitely should end with her youth.
I am a third grade teacher and ALL of my students found it fascinating, so I am getting extra copies for future years.
This story is an excellent example of getting ahead against very large odds, and the way it is presented makes it easy for young seven or eight year olds to understand it.
The only reason I do not give it five stars is the weak illustrations.

Get a clue.......2003-01-26

This is a book for young children. It is not a college level book. The previous reviewer needs to get a clue about the reading capabilities of an 8 year old. Not many are interested in reading 300 page biographies.

Helen Keller Would Find This Shameful!.......2002-10-13

She lived to be 88. She was a socialist and a suffragist. She called for peace in Europe to prevent World War I. She denounced the murder of coal minors in Colorado. She donated funds to the NAACP. She helped found the American Civil Liberties Union. She proved that blind and deaf people have a place in the political life of the nation.

This "first" biography ends with her going to college. How would you feel about having your life defined that way?

Eight-year-olds now, deeply they know, that people grow and change. That's what makes life interesting to an 8-year-old. This book infantilizes Helen Keller, freezing her as a "permanent child". My kids deserve much better than this book offers, especially if it is going to be short!
