Call It Sleep
After hearing about this book from the movie "The Stone Reader" I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. It is a wonderful insight to an era in America for immigrants. I loved spending time with the characters even when I didn't like some of them. The prose was beautiful to read as a translation from the yiddish and polish, the reading was hard and slow when spoken in the characters broken english.It is a great read and a good reminder to all of us what it was like to be an immigrant, young, and innocent in a new country.
Exotic Appetites: Ruminations of a Food Adventurer
I recently read Calvin Trillin's Feeding a Yen. Exotic Appetites is the brainiac version. Although this seems to be intended as an academic work, it is sprinkled with personal anecdotes and references from popular culture. This makes it readable for anyone interested in food.Heldke considers food from every angle. What is exotic food? Is food that is exotic to one person or culture exotic to another? When does it stop being exotic? (Pizza used to be considered exotic in America.) How do we change food when we take it out of its "native habitat"? Do we somehow endanger it?With references to Calvin Trillin, Wayne's World, Sara Paretsky, Pierre Bourdieu, Tony Hillerman, and Jane & Michael Stern, among others, this is a wide-ranging look at food adventuring. Try it!
AFCA's Offensive Football Drills
This book does have some good information in it, but it is pretty limited in scope. There are a handful of drills for linemen, a handful for running backs, a handful for quarterbacks, etc. It's not a comprehensive training or practice manual by any means. Also, I did not find any continuity to the way the drills were presented; they are dumped here in one big chunk, for the reader to glean what nuggets he or she can find. Most of the drills involve a full squad with equipment; if you're working with a short squad or looking for off-season drills without pads and tackling dummies, there's not a lot in here for you.It's a suitable book on the subject but I sure wish there was more here.
AFCA's Offensive Football Drills
Great book. This book provided me with many great ideas and perspectives on how to best prepare your players for war in the trenches.
US Bankruptcy Code & Rules Booklet, September 2005 Black Line Edition
This is a very affordable conveniently-sized version of the bankruptcy code and rules changes brought about by BAPCA, allowing you to see the changes that were made. The index could be a bit more thorough, but overall it is extremely portable and handy.

this book is a tightly compiled book and reflected the newly published law. In addition, the section titles were printed on the top of each page that make it easier for reader to find the specefic provision.
