Amazon.com: Books: Reluctant Saint: The Life of Francis of Assisi (#)
„He raises, for example, questions about whether Francis actually bore the stigmata, or wounds of the crucified Christ, pointing out that sources interviewed for Francis's canonization denied that he had the marks. Spoto suggests that Francis may actually have suffered from leprosy and that his companions interpreted those wounds as a sharing in Christ's suffering. Spoto's chronological recounting of Francis's life is sufficiently engaging to retain the interest even of those familiar with the basic facts of the saint's story. Occasionally however, he lapses into seemingly misplaced preaching pedagogy, such as when he holds forth on the subject of conversion in a section about Francis's spiritual transformation- but given the saint's diverse appeal, this book should interest a wide audience.Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.“

„"Every Move She Makes" stars San Francisco Police Inspector Kate Gillespie, a smart, tough police office with a weakness for latte's and a certain IA investigator that she can't get too close to....add into the mix an untrustworth ex, a solid mystery, and the beautiful background of San Francisco and you have all the ingredients of a good book. I hope Inspector Gillespie enjoys a nice long run, I am very much looking forward to more!“

„We just bought this for our 18 month old daughter for Christmas this year. At first, she wasn't sure about it, but once I showed her how to pretend to cook and wash the pots and pans, and pretend to drink from the cups, she started using it. I put it in her bedroom, and every day she plays with it. It really keeps her occupied, and she likes the sound the burners make when you place a pan, or teapot on them.“

Amazon.com: Books: The Great Gilly Hopkins
„Gilly Hopkins is a determined-to-be-unpleasant 11-year-old foster kid who the reader can't help but like by the end. Gilly has been in the foster system all her life, and she dreams of getting back to her (as she imagines) wonderful mother. (The mother makes these longings worse by writing the occasional letter.) Gilly is all the more determined to leave after she's placed in a new foster home with a "gross guardian and a freaky kid." But she soon learns about illusions--the hard way. This Newbery Honor Book manages to treat a somewhat grim, and definitely grown-up theme with love and humor, making it a terrific read for a young reader who's ready to learn that "happy" and "ending" don't always go together.“

Amazon.com: Books: The Little Flowers of St. Francis of Assisi (Vintage Spiritual Classics)
„St. Francis of Assisi--the saint who preached to birds and wolves, the saint whose vow of poverty changed Christian ethics forever, the saint who repented of his fleshly sins by loving the material world--was also a pretty great writer. His Little Flowers, a series of 53 short chapters ranging in form from wild stories to serene meditations, is perfect bedtime or devotional reading. Before you know it, you'll be reading this one aloud to your cat.“

Amazon.com: Books: Mastering Network Security
„In Mastering Network Security, Chris Brenton presents a complete portrait of all the things that can go wrong with a computer network and provides a thorough discussion of the tools available to counteract them. This book proceeds to explain how malicious software, external attackers, angry insiders, software bugs, and other evil entities can bring down a system. Most of the focus here, however, is on system attacks from the outside.“
