Thank you very much, Jim, for making my Midway Dauntless Victory one of your Daily Book Pick selections for 30 April. am flattered and pleased. Midway by Peter C. Smith (Casemate) Midway, Dauntless Victory: Fresh Perspectives on America's Seminal Naval Victory of World War II

My own favorite Memorable Lines from the book are on page 136, column 2, when Wade McClusky is searching for the Japanese Fleet and sights a lone destroyer at speed to rejoin a larger force

"He decided to 'tag along' for a while and see what turned up. What turned up was the 1st Kudo Butai..."
It encapsulates this, the most crucial moment of the whole battle I feel.

Thanks again
Peter

Thanks for mentioning Protect Your Child on the Internet, Jim! Really appreciate your support. Protect Your Child on the Internet: A Parent's Toolkit

Dear Jim,

I am confident that you and I could "dance" well on the radio. The Physician to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II wrote the Foreword to my new book (I mention this so that you KNOW that I am not on the fringe)...despite my subject being homeopathic medicine...

Gabriel García Márquez's father was a homeopathic physician. THAT is why the protagonist in "Love in a Time of Cholera" had an uncle who was his godfather, and this uncle was also a homeopathic physician. This is also why some of his short stories include protagonists who are homeopathic doctors.

My pr guy sent you a copy of my book, "The Homeopathic Revolution," which is a scholarly researched and popularly written book about "cultural heroes" who used or advocated for homeopathy, including many of the most respected literary greats of the past 200 years, including:

Henry David Thoreau, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Harriett Beecher Stowe, Louisa May Alcott, Emily Dickinson, Henry James, William James, Nathaniel Hawthorne, William Cullen Bryant, Washington Irving, Mark Twain, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Anton Chekhov, Charles Dickens, W. B. Yeats, William Makepeace Thackeray, George Bernard Shaw, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Rabindranath Tagore, Norman Cousins, Barbara Cartland, J. D. Salinger, Gabriel García Márquez

Although we sent you a copy of this book, you can see the chapter about LITERARY GREATS by simply clicking on that name.

My new book also contains some remarkable stories about Charles Darwin (!), 11 U.S. Presidents, 7 Popes (!), and innumerable sports superstars, world-class musicians (Beethoven, Chopin, Wagner, as well as Cher and Tina Turner!)...and more.

I have a compelling story to tell about why so many of the most famous and respected cultural heroes of the past 200 years used or advocated for homeopathic medicine.

I am a lively radio guest who is intimately familiar with history, present status, research, and philosophical and ethical issues connected with homeopathic and conventional medicine. Ultimately, I am an advocated for INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE.

I have written 3 chapters in conventional medical textbooks on homeopathy, and I am a bridge-builder (of not real bridges).

You can learn more about me HERE.

I invite you to: www.HomeopathicRevolution.com and www.homeopathic.com to learn more.

Hi Jim,
Thank you for putting The Grieving Garden on your Daily Picks. This is something that touches all of our lives in one way or another and The Grieving Garden relates a message from 22 parents who have suffered the death of a child.

Hi Jim,
Thank you.
I have a quote for your quote page. It appeared in the Sunday NY Times

From the article What Created this Monster quoting Jeremy Grantham chairman and chief investment strategist at GMO, a Boston investment firm. The article is about the problems that have spread from Wall Street practices to the rest of the world.

Íf it is too complicated for most of us to understand in 10 to 15 minutes, then we probably shouldn’t be doing it.”

Thank you so much for choosing Imagine That as a religious pick in January of
this year. I would have responded sooner had I known about the post.

You gave me the gusto to market my book more than I have. My book ended with
obtaining a lawyer to finally get my long awaited license back for it has been 5
years since I've been behind a wheel. I just received my restricted permit
yesterday........the last 5 years never driving a car will be my next book.

Once again, thank you for your selection.

Hi Jim,

  A big note of gratitude from me to you to let you know how much I appreciated the opportunity to talk about WHY DO I KEEP DOING THAT? with Michael. My producer said it was obvious from our email traffic that the interview made an impact.

Will you send me an email address for Michael so I can properly thank him as well?

I wish you only the very best as you trudge the happy road.

Warmly,
Dennis (Wholey)

"I think the website is great. My only comment would be to make the title search a little easier. You review so many titles that I don't know how many people will actually scroll through the numerous titles. I would recommend categorizing them--Fiction, self-help, women's studies, etc. I'll send you galleys next week of some of our upcoming books. Thanks for your support."
