In Kites: The Art of Using Natural Materials, John Browning shows how he uses natural materials to make beautiful kites; kites that fly.
In the book Browning balances the visual appeal of Nature's riches with the universal appeal of kites, their ephemeral lightness tethered to the kite flyerÕs desire to be air-borne, defying the pull of earthÕs gravity. This combination of beauty and practicability is evident in the colourful imagesÑwhich inform as well as delightÑof kites both fixed and in flight.
Throughout the book the images demonstrate how the different shapes, colours, and textures of natural materials have been transformed by Browning into fragile yet flight-worthy structures that appeal to the mind, to the eye, and to the imagination.
This book, filled with colourful images, shows many examples of natural materialsÑleaves, plants, trees, paper, and bambooÑand how they have been brought together to create the kites.
Conceived as works of Art, constructed as kites, and realized as flying structures.

Format: Kindle
So very well written with searing details that bring the horrors of slavery in America into stark relief. It also shows that American slaves were Humans that created and lived in a loving family and community with it's distinct culture, knowledge, and traditions. And it shows how a caring and respectful people with a tradition of warmly greeting strangers, even those that look very different from them, similar to Native Americans in North America, get savagely treated and killed by Europeans. This is one of those special instances when a "loser" gets to write history...the whole history.

A well-written and engaging book
Format: Hardcover
I read this book for a college course, actually. It is difficult to call it a "good" book because the content is pretty awful, but it is well written. There are many sad and stressful moments; the author is very good at pulling you into the emotions of what it would be like to live through the horrors of slavery. My mom read the book after me as well. Neither of us could put it down.

Game changer
Format: Paperback
I never write reviews and this will be short. This book is a game changer for me. Erin presents an organized knowledgeable review of Midterm rentals with lots of legal advise, check lists, and common sense. This information has taken the scary out of starting a business using my basement. My book is well worn from reading it so many times. Have ordered her second book and will wear it out also. Thanks you Erin
