Review # 1 was written on 2012-03-04 00:00:00 Lee Breed The history of the Statue of Liberty is chronicled through postcards since it was gifted to NYC in 1886. I learned more about Liberty Island and how postcards evolved.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-07-25 00:00:00 Leo Curtis Hindu Altars is a pop-up book that sits flat on any surface and portrays in full colour and action for four different deities. What an interesting concept! I think this item would be perfect for a young child just learning about these deities. Not only would the child learn a little about these individuals but he or she would also have a bit of fun bringing each illustration to life. Despite the obvious pop-up appeal to children, I think that anyone wanting to create a quick to set up, easy to move altar would also find this book useful. This would be absolutely perfect when traveling or when trying to find a nice quiet place to meditate. The four deities represented in this altar are Lakshmi (Vaishnava tradition- path of devotion), Shiva Nataraja (Shaivite tradition- paths of meditation and knowledge), Durga (Shakta tradition- path of action), and Ganesha (Smarta tradition- path of knowledge and action. Each page shows the mantra of each deity, including the overall purpose of the phrase and full pronunciation. Each figure is also shown as traditionally represented including associated common elements and mudras.
