A historical album of Ohio di Charles Wills
A nice overview of Ohio's history written for children. It includes enough illustrations to keep it interesting for elementary readers. A gazetteer is defined as "a geographical dictionary." (Dictionary.com) What appears as an appendix and labeled a gazetteer is more of a compendium of facts about Ohio--basic statistics/quick facts, state symbols, chronologies, and brief biographical sketches. The only thing in that section that even comes close to being geographical is a list of places to see, but even then it is only the name of the attraction and the town.… (altro)

Like other books of the DK Biography series, this work combines well- written, informative prose with excellent illustrations. Aimed at the level of the middle- school student, it is nevertheless fully appropriate for adults. For readers of all age groups, it offers a fine portrayal of the life of the famed 19th century entertainer and sharp-shooter Annie Oakley in concise, readable form. For my part, having known almost nothing about the book's subject, I very much enjoyed the account. (As an aside, it hadn't occurred to me that since Annie used a shotgun in her act, that her famed sharpshooting skills were perhaps not so excellent as one might have thought had her weapon been a rifle or pistol). I gladly recommend the book to those interested in learning more about this interesting woman's life and times. For those interested in more about the book, the following Amazon review is worthwhile: https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R35EF00KPKH1TY/ref=cm_cr_getr_d_rvw_t...… (altro)

Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.What I found Interesting about Lincoln: The Presidential Archives was that for the person who know just what was taught in school; this is an excellent source of information on the Life of Abe Lincoln. Perhaps not for the Lincoln Scholar it does offer a some insights into Lincoln's life and Presidency. I found the reproducitons of documents intersting, informative, and captured his life and times very well. I recommend this book to anyone looking to start an examination of Abraham Lincoln.
