I bought several Dover Coloring books for my 8 year old son, along with a package of colored pencils. He already draws such detailed pictures of trains and I thought he would appreciate these books…..they did not disappoint.

The coloring books are definitely geared towards older children and are art quality…the kind of drawings I would imagine accompany the design board for a new car or product. My son is probably on the lower end of the age scale because the drawings are very detailed and require a little more advanced dexterity than your average coloring book, but he has already finished one picture and hung it on his wall…and that was the whole point for buying these.

I also appreciate the descriptions that appear with the pictures…he and I are learning together about the trains and cars that are featured in the books. If you have a child or young adult who is into cars or trains and also enjoy art I highly recommend these books.

Luxury cars is a coloring book that will be appreciate by older children. The book has a realistic drawing of a care and below the picture there is a written story about the hisotry of the car. The sotry is not a six sentence story, though some are. Some run about 2 to 3 short paragraphs or one large one. The text is small and the words are not dribble.

I purchased several Dover coloring books by Bruce LaFontaine for my adult son and he enjoys coloring these classy cars.
I also print his favorite cars so that he can color them several times. I have shopped around and can only find coloring
books for children. I was happy to find the Dover coloring books suitable for adults.

I ordered this book hoping for the kind of in-depth medical research and analysis that I enjoy reading. I was not disappointed. Each chapter is very thorough and detailed in its description and analysis of the "patient" and their condition. I can’t state that the author has solved all these mysteries, but that’s not what made this book enjoyable. It was the quality of medical information and the very scientific look at the lives of these historical figures. The details of their illnesses bring them to light as human beings rather than just figures of history.

I have always been fascinated by the health issues affecting great men and women throughout the ages, not only because I am a doctor myself, but oftentimes illnesses can dominate someone’s life and alter the course of events. For example, how much did Beethoven’s deafness affect his music ? It can be argued that he was able to break the mold of the classical tradition and bring in the Romantic period because he could no longer hear and had to compose in his head, thus freeing him from the restrictions of the physical world. Others could achieve greatness due to sheer quirks of their birth (it can be argued that great athletes are born, not created through training, especially for endurance sports) or other factors to do with their health. Somebody speculated that Monet painted the way he did later in life due to his failing eyesight, and was not a deliberate attempt to achieve an "impressionistic" effect. Renoir’s rheumatoid arthritis probably also affected the way he painted.
Prof. Mackowiak did a great job collecting historical evidence to back up his conjectures when he attempted to diagnose the health problems affecting these illustrious men and women. He gave riveting accounts of the suffering they went through, and very detailed analyses of the signs and symptoms culminating in the most probable diagnosis. The author had a gift for story-telling, but he was equally at home in explaining complex medical and scientific matters in ways that lay people can easily understand.
For me, this book (and the later volume) was a great review of areas of general medicine that I no longer involve with day-to-day, and would otherwise have little reason to read up on (especially in the form of dry academic review papers or book chapters).
It is a must-read for students of medicine and history buffs.

…I enjoyed this book immensely. The author is a fabulous story teller, and makes his cases convincingly. This book is for anyone who likes history and CSI
