Great book for people scared of computers.......2001-07-22
This book is great for the absolute beginners. It explains in very easy methods how to hook up, type, email etc. Even if you don't want to do it all it at least explains what it is and you wont feel so "dumb" if people talk about email and scanning because you will know what it means/does.

Book Description
Mason's superb comic timing and innate flare for irony give these stories a fresh, invigorating tone. Highly imaginative in style and technique, this unassuming collection marks the arrival of a striking new voice in fiction.
The opening story, "My Own Avatar," is the grand prize winner in the 73rd Annual Writer's Digest Writing Contest, first place out of 17,584 manuscripts.
In "The Dispirited Mouse," Marlow is on the brink of marriage when he takes a detour into the dark side. In "A Caricature of Faith," fifty-three year old William Candee acts out his fantasy using a computer rendition of his high school sweetheart.

A Good Read.......2004-11-18
I heard this guy read at a book reading and I thought I'd try his book. I was amazed that finally someone has written fiction about the subject of the Internet and computers that is fun and not boring. Out of the 14 stories, there are 2 I would consider the best short stories I have ever read. The writing is very polished and the subject is very timely.

I liked it!.......2006-02-06
I found this book to be well-written and exciting. The characters are interesting, and the plot moves along nicely. Unlike other fantasy stories, this book's action stays in one place, and follows one set of characters. Refreshing to read a tale without: "Meanwhile thousands of miles away on the other side of the mountains . . ." I recommend this book!
Book Description
When two European scientists unexpectedly inherit an Indian rajah's fortune, each builds an experimental city of his dreams in the wilds of the American Northwest. France-Ville is a harmonious urban community devoted to health and hygiene, the specialty of its French founder, Dr. Francois Sarrasin. Stahlstadt, or City of Steel, is a fortress-like factory town devoted to the manufacture of high-tech weapons of war. Its German creator, the fanatically pro-Aryan Herr Schultze, is Verne's first truly evil scientist. In his quest for world domination and racial supremacy, Schultze decides to showcase his deadly wares by destroying France-Ville and all its inhabitants. Both prescient and cautionary, The Begum's Millions is a masterpiece of scientific and political speculation and constitutes one of the earliest technological utopia/dystopias in Western literature. This Wesleyan edition features notes, appendices, and a critical introduction as well as all the illustrations from the original French edition.

The Definitive Edition of a Great Verne Novel.......2007-02-17
The premise this novel is simple, if rather outlandish. Two distantly related scientists, Dr. Sarrasin of France and Professor Schultze of Germany, each inherit half of an enormous fortune. Each decides to use his share to construct a city in the wilderness of territorial Oregon. Dr. Sarrasin, whose primary interest is hygiene, founds France-Ville, a city of cleanliness and healthy living. Herr Schultze, an engineer, creates Stahlstadt, a combination coalmine, steel foundry, and weapons plant of colossal proportions. In order to demonstrate the power of his products to the world, and out of contempt for what he calls "the Latin races," Herr Schultze decides to destroy France-Ville by bombardment. Here, Verne's technical details anticipate inventions to come. Schultze creates MRV-style scatter-bombs, reminiscent of World War Two era firebombs or Regan era nuclear warheads, designed to shower fire over a wide area, as well as poison gas projectiles filled with deadly concentrations of carbon dioxide. France-Ville, it seems, is in serious trouble.
The hero of our story is Marcel Bruckman, an engineering student who is both roommate and tutor to Octave Sarrasin, the doctor's only son. Marcel is an Alsatian, not the dog of course, but a native of the conquered region. The novel begins in 1871, and Marcel has just lost his home to the enemy. Curiously, the novel, composed in 1879, hardly mentions the war directly. Marcel and Octave's military service is passed over a single paragraph, and their attitude toward the war's outcome is left to the reader's imagination. While Octave, newly rich, lives the high life in Paris, Marcel finishes school and then disappears, off to infiltrate Stahlstadt under an assumed name.
What follows is strangely reminiscent of a James Bond novel. Stahlstadt--both a fortress against intruders and a bureaucratic prison for its workers--is described in suffocating detail. Herr Schultze lives in a tower at the center of innumerable concentric rings of steel. He even has his own tropical jungle under a greenhouse dome, its heat maintained by geothermal energy, a stage set worthy of Dr. No or Goldfinger. In true super-villain form, he even allows Marcel to live once he is discovered as a spy, giving the young Alsatian time to plan a daring escape.
Of course, France-Ville is spared. There is, in fact, no climactic combat at all. Instead, Verne contrives an unusual and thoroughly surprising ending, which I will not spoil here. All in all, The Begum's Millions is a strange document. It encourages a post-war hatred of all things German while supposedly decrying racism and nationalism. The Chinese receive some odd treatment at the hands of the "enlightened" French. They are allowed to help build France-Ville, and at reasonable wages too, but only if they agree to return to China afterward, thus "solving" that very western problem of surplus cheap labor. Analogies could easily be made to the old bracero system or the new immigration policies the W administration is trying to implement. Despite the happy and relatively non-violent ending, this is one of Verne's more pessimistic novels. Money and scientific insight are depicted as dangerous when put into the wrong hands. The "wrong hands" here are defined by a man whose nation has suffered a bitter defeat. In spite of this, Verne has created an exciting adventure story, one which I believe most people can enjoy.
Lovely Edition of a Visionary But Chauvanistic Story.......2006-10-21
Until this new lovely edition, Verne's highly moralistic story of two rival scientists was only available in the flawed and dated translations dating back to its original 1879 publication. Here, the story emerges afresh under the capable hands of Stanford Luce, and is supported by the 80+ illustrations from the original French publication, as well as comprehensive annotations, bibliography, and biographical essay on Verne. These are excellent supplements to the core text, which do a great deal to tease out its themes and provide context. However, readers should be warned that the introduction and notes are both full of "spoilers" that give away key plot points and one may wish to return to them only after first reading the story. One element from the introduction well worth noting is that the story was not originally Verne's. Rather, the original manuscript was written around 1872 by the rather colorful Corsican writer Paschal Grousset. He submitted the work, then titled, "The Langevol Inheritance" to Verne's publisher, who bought it as a rough property for Verne to develop.
In any event, like so many of Verne's own stories, the tale concerns men with grand ideas about scientific progress and how it ought to be applied toward humanity. The hero is Dr. Sarrasin, a happily middle-aged Frenchman with a strong interest in what would today be called public health. The villain is Dr. Schultze, a German engineering professor of an altogether egoistical and bellicose nature. Written in the aftermath of France's humiliating defeat in the 1870-71 Franco-Prussian War, the story will be of great interest to anyone interested in studying the nationalism as expressed in literature. Verne indulges in the most chauvinistic stereotypes, presenting the German as racist, aggressive, overbearing, etc. and the Frenchman as humanistic, enlightened, rational, peace loving, etc. A supporting English character manages to convey the avarice, cunning, and scheming nature of the British, while the U.S. is generally portrayed as a chaotic place with little interest in outside events.
The two doctors are discovered to be 50/50 heirs to a vast Indian fortune, and are thus provided with the means to put their ideas to the practical test. The story hops forward five years and across the Atlantic to the Oregon coast, where apparently both men have bought large swathes of territory from the United States, and have built experimental utopian city-states. First, we are introduced to the dark "City of Steel", where Dr. Schultze rules as dictator over what is essentially a vast factory for making war materials, especially giant cannons. This fortresslike city is shrouded in mystery, bereft of women, and a place where everyone is essentially a robot programmed by Dr. Schultze. Indeed, its vision of industrialization as the debasement of humanity has much in common with the film "Metropolis" and other dystopian literary visions such as Yevgeny Ivanovich's "We".
Meanwhile, Dr. Sarrasin's democratic "France-Ville" is a strictly gridded, strictly organized monument to rationalist, idealist communal principals. Like a lot of utopian designs, some elements of it are explained in minute detail (here the urban planning and public health measures), while others are left rather more hazy (such as how its economy would actually work). The implication is that this is how mainland France would be if only mean ole' Germany would leave it alone. And of course, here, Dr. Schultze has a grand scheme to destroy France-Ville as the opening demonstration of superiority of the Germanic race over the dregs of Europe. Events proceed in the same vein of Verne's other scientific adventures, and the true superiority of the French temperament is seen to win out. Ultimately, the book is mainly interesting for its portrayal of nationalism, utopianism, and perhaps more to for its prescience regarding the chemical warfare of WWI, and even the decline of the German state into National Socialism and rule by a megalomaniac.
An Early Classic of Science Fiction.......2006-06-05
When two European scientists unexpectedly inherit an Indian rajah's fortune, each builds an experimental city of his dreams in the wilds of the American Northwest. And so begins The Begum's Millions, a masterpiece of scientific and political speculation. This Wesleyan edition features notes, appendices, and a critical introduction as well as all the illustrations from the original French edition. Here's what the Washington post Bookworld had to say: "To read Jules Verne is one of the great treats of childhood. To read Jules Verne later in life is to discover a writer just as satisfying but even richer, one who is not only a natural storyteller but also a mythmaker, a social critic and an innovative artist. ...Give The Begum's Millions or one of (his) other novels a try.... There's a lot more to Jules Verne than what you find in those old, albeit quite wonderful, Disney movies."
sprightly translation of the Jules Verne utopian, moralistic tale with scholarly references.......2006-01-26
This 1879 moralistic Verne novel contrasts the ideal French city France-Ville with the malevolent German City of Steel. The founders of the respective cities were able to build them with their receipt of millions of dollars from an Indian rajah. The dark view of the German character Herr Schultze and his militarisic, imperialistic City of Steel is attributed to the French view of Germany after France's defeat in the Franco-Prussian War in 1871. But "The Begum's Millions" is not simply a nationalistic, chauvinistic French work of the time, but also a novelistic treatment in the genre of "Brave New World" and "1984" of central political and cultural subjects and controversies of the modern era. Industrialization, urban life, the benefits of improved health brought by science, political leadership, and the scourge of more destructive weapons are starkly portrayed. The French city manages to overcome the dire threat from the German city, absorbing the positive aspects of the latter into it for one combined community which is a "model city and factory." Nonetheless one can now see Verne's novel as a prophecy of the history of 20th-century Europe with the German city the victor. This edition part of Wesleyan's ongoing Early Classics of Science Fiction series is more than a economic, smart translation. With bibliographic matter of 20 pages on Verne's publications and another 11 pages on secondary sources, it is a notable resource on this pioneering author in the field of science fiction and fantasy.

Much more than science fiction.......2005-07-01
This book (along with The Mysterious Island) is my absolute favourite of Verne. And it's very different to the Verne books which are commonly known (like Around the World in Eighty Days) all of which I think are very inferior to his more mature work.
The title of the book means "The 500 million of the Begum". The Begum was an Indian princess and the novel begins with two people simultaneously inheriting half of the 500 million as her descendants (a huge sum in the late 19th century!). One is an enlightened French professor, the other is a militaristic and nationalistic German. They both use the money to start cities in a deserted part of the US, each city espousing their view of their builders - the French one as being chiefly concerned with sanitation, health, sanity and well-being and the German one as a military-industrial complex bent on conquest. The main part of the book is the story of the two cities and their struggle, as well as the infiltration of the German city by a disciple of the French professor.
What we have is so much more than sci-fi - this is sci-fi with a conscience, a philosophical basis and a political theory. Of course, the hero-French and villain-German overtones read as simplistic today, but it's still interesting historically (as Verne predicted not only technology but political trends, as the founder of the German city is a classic precursor to the world wars).
The book is fascinating in its descriptions of technology and human nature, as well as in that it asks all the right questions about our ideas of science, progress, technology and ideology - and this is what the very best science fiction is all about. This is Verne at his absolute best - an enthralling adventure story that's far more thoughtprovoking than both his "popular" novels and most other novels too!

Yawn.............1998-10-12
Pretty pictures and really poor writing. Almost all the ideas worth making are also in more complete Mexican cooking books.
Forget Tapas and dim-sum try some Bocaditos.......1997-07-06
Today, people are looking for a variety of ways to eat healthy or ways
to loose weight. One of the best ways is a very old way of life for many
people. The restaurant in Wilmington that I started took that approach
with the idea of 'Tapas' a Spanish style of eating small dished or
tidbits of food. In Mexico these small delicious dishes, often eaten
throughout the day, are know as 'Bocaditos'. Bocaditos in Mexican means
"little bites", and is the name of the newest cookbook by Reed Hearon
published by Chronicle Books. Hearon, who has spent much time south of
the border is the chef/owner of Rose Pistola, a critically acclaimed
restaurant in San Francisco's North Beach and was named 1996 Chef of the
Year by San Francisco Focus magazine.
Bocaditos is not filled with a lot of recipes, it only contains just
over 60, and nevertheless they are authentic and delicious. Since there
are no appetizers, soups, main dishes, vegetable categories with
bocaditos, they are broken down into four parts: Botanas, a 'plug or
stopper' meant to plug the hunger at snack time; Antojitos, 'little
whims' made from corn masa (the dough used to make tortillas); Mariscos,
meaning seafood; and Basics, a readily assembled snack.
Some of the botanas including are Spicy Pumpkin Seeds, Guero Chiles with
Tuna, Broiled Cheese with Pipian Verde, Wild Mushrooms in Salsa Verde,
and Grilled Corn with Huitlacoche Butter. Certain antojitos are Duck
Flautas with Pipian Verde, Shrimp and Avocado Enchiladitas, Squash
Blossom Quesadillas, Wild Mushroom Quesadillas, and Sweet Corn Tamales.
The mariscos section contains Oysters with Pineapple Salsa, Shrimp Boca
del Rio, Ceviche Tostadas, Clams with Red Chiles and Lime, and Crabs
Salpicon. Some basics are Salsa Verde, Roasted Corn Salsa, Chipotle Rub,
Sweet Potato Tortillas, and Corn Tortillas using Fresh Masa.
Reed Hearon has taken the time to define many of the special ingredient
names in Mexican cooking as well as recommending special equipment for
the continuing Mexican cook. Mexican cooking uses a lot of blended herbs
and spices, and the use of a spice mill to create the freshest blends is
a great addition to any kitchen. An inexpensive coffee mill works great.
A molcajete, a lava-rock mortar is a great tool to make many of the
salsas and guacamole.
The idea of this book is to make small meals throughout the day. A
midmorning holdover, a small lunch, the cocktail hour after work and the
ending of the day. Cooks may prefer to make one dish or several to mix
and match throughout the day. Of course most of us may choose to just
make a few at a time for a great lunch or family dinner, not to mention
a great way to entertain. Since these are true and authentic recipes,
many of the ingredients may only be found in local Mexican markets. If
you enjoy Spanish tapas, or Oriental dim sum, then bocaditos may just be
the perfect substitute.

This small dish cookbook is a nice addition to those who like the
concepts of tapas or dim sum. Not filled will an over abundance of
recipes, this book offers just the right amount of recipes to create

Book Description
The wonderful folk art quality of hand-made hooked rugs endears them to all who encounter them. Over the hundred and fifty year history of their popularity in rural North America, thousands of diverse rugs have been made by cottage industries and individual craftspersons alike. Today older rugs are collected and cherished and new rugs are continually being made. This book will be a guide for antiques dealers and novice collectors alike. This handsome new book preserves, for a new generation of interest in hooked rugs, the historical background of the often whimsical designs and instructions for starting a rug of your own. The sections present over 300 color photographs of different rugs in lively geometric, abstract, floral, animal, Oriental and original designs, and factual discussions of the interesting people who motivated the designs. The author takes a look at the prolific rug producers at the House of Burnham, and gives the complete story of the Grenfell mats of Newfoundland and Labrador. The contributions of rug making promoters such as Philena Moxley, Pearl McGown and Joan Moshimer are heralded with examples of their original designs and hand work. After inspiring them with old designs, the author encourages the readers to pick up some burlap, wool rags and a rug hook and follow her step-by-step illustrated instructions to make their own rugs. Then she explains how to preserve the rugs for the future.
Book Description
Organized, efficient storage is a goal sought by most homeowners, and this book is an indispensable tool for achieving it. With more than 50 step-by-step projects and dozens of ideas for inspiration, homeowners will be able to bring order to the jumble, to tame and civilize the hoards of small and large household items begging for permanent, logical storage. Each project is designed for adaptability and versatility, allowing it to be used for a variety of purposes. Readers will find a broad range of projects, from installing convenient drawer and cabinet accessories, to constructing their own custom cabinets and entertainment centers. Also included is a chapter on framed-in projects, featuring instructions on how to frame and finish a new closet, how to create a closet organizer, and building recessed kneewall shelves. Finally, the new edition includes updated and expanded inspiration pages featuring new materials and additional ideas for efficient storage.

Book Description
For over 25 years, Tricia Guild has been at the cutting edge of contemporary design. Her ability to mix vibrant color and pattern and her imaginative use of modern arts and crafts translates particularly well to city living. With the help of Elspeth Thompson’s stimulating essays and Gilles de Chabaneix’s luminous photos, Trisha Guild in Town presents a blueprint for modern urban living.
Customer Reviews:
I wish Tricia Guild would get out of town!.......2002-12-12
I was not impressed with this book, and I like color. The text was not useful. If there are no tips or they are not informative, I will still buy a book if it has beautiful pictures. However, I was not creatively inspired by this book. I think the design choices are boring. I'm glad I did not buy this book.
Other resource:
Another of Tricia Guild's books titled Think Color is so much better. Her bold use of color in this book is both refreshing and inspiring.
a challenge.......2000-03-26
BEAUTIFUL! , this book encouraged me to transform my old house without necessarily changing the beauty of it. Tricia Guild made me dare to bring new colors to my house and giving my family a bright place to live. THEY LOVED IT! .
Delicious book.......1998-07-28
Much better than her other books in her use of bold, imaginative color. Not for the timid. Don't worry about the urban bit, good design is welcome everywhere :-)
