Book Description
Settlers of the Marsh was first published in 1925, after a struggle by the author to persuade publishers that his first novel would meet public acceptance. Some critics immediately condemned this hypnotic story of the loss of innocence on the Manitoba frontier, calling it “obscene” and “indecent.” Churches issued warnings to their congregations to avoid its scandalous contents. Only several decades later was Settlers of the Marsh recognized for what it is – a landmark in the development of the Canadian novel, and a work of realism in the tradition of Thomas Hardy.
A psychological portrait of life in the Canadian West, Settlers of the Marsh presents with chilling accuracy the hopes, passions, and anxieties of young pioneers.

The truth is out there, Rover...........2000-07-27
One of the improvements of the new CLAN BOOK series over the original is consistency between the various installments. The new books all seem to include discipline variations and merits and flaws tailored to specific clans as well as all new sample character templates. (MIND'S EYE THEATRE stats are now always given for much of this) Often extensive sections on notable clan members are included in all of them. The only standard feature missing from the new CLAN BOOK: GANGREL is the sample coterie- too bad, because if there ever was group that tended to hang with their own (if anyone), it would be the Gangrel.
Overall, however, GANGREL is an outstanding addition to this series. The mostly new text (part introduced as a response to the narrator of the original) covers (as usual) the title clan's view of vampiric history and opinions of other clans and WoD creatures. The Gangrel are presented as a diverse group, often defying stereotypes but generally highly inquisitive and, of course, prone to wander. It deals with subjects like Gehenna, the political ramifications of Xaviar's recent break with the Camarilla, conspiracy theories and even Gangrel opinions about suburbs and the internet- in addition to the expected material on environmentalism, Lupines, etc. There is a very good section on the impact of the Gangrel weakness and some hints at larger mysteries, too.
Happily, there's also lots of Sabbat material- including how Sabbat Gangrel regard different Paths of Enlightenment. A follower of the Path of the Feral Heart is included in the character templates- the first template on a Path follower in the new series. (Wrong virtues, tho!) This is part of an examination of Gangrel bloodlines including some of the exotic and lost ones from DARK AGES. WOW!
CLanbook: Gangrel.......2000-07-27
I have been playing the world of Darkness system for some time now and came to realize what the clanbooks actually do for starting characters. This book not only helps in the Tabletop system, but also helps to increase the diversity of the Live Action game as well. This is a must have for those of you who are just like me and play both games to the fullest.
Customer Reviews:
Good--but..........2000-07-25
I liked it, since I like the Gangrel, but... Why so much info on Lupins? More on the gypsies wold have been better, and on the rivalry with the Ravnos. I hope the revised version will be better...
An impressive Vampire tale.......2000-01-11
Clan Gangrel is one of my favorite clans, and was among the first that I played when I began partaking of the Vampire: The Masqureade roleplaying game. This book was quite a treat for me when I read it. The story follows a neonate Gangrel and her two companions who have very few ideas about who they are. During the course of their adventure, the heorine eventually discovers that she is a part of Clan Gangrel and must face off against one of the most horrifying monstrosities that the Kindred have ever known. This story follows strongly to the theme of the World of Darkness in which Vampire is set, with all the horror, action, danger, and loss that comes along with it. This isn't your Brad Pitt, suit and tie, Victorian style, English accent vampire. This is a story about monsters, which is what a vampire is, and how they interact with their own society.
clueless.......1999-11-30
is the wwf wrestler gangrial in the clan gangrel, is he a real vampire, and what is the name of his book that got published by whitewolf
it lacked a lot of depth.......1999-09-06
Gangrel is one of my fav. clans and this book didn't do much in the lines of defining them.It didn't ruin them either. I liked the lupine structure to the book, but didn't you over do it?The background of the gypsies and the Gangrel gatherings were extremly interesting. Some things can help the stories, but I recommend this only if you are a true Gangrel fan; otherwise use your imagination. Of course there are a few helpful hints.
Mediocre, neither great nor awful.......1999-08-21
The book was interesting and enlightening about some of the Gangrel's practices, but for the most part there seemed to be something lacking from the overall atmosphere to the book. It wasn't great or terrible, but I really think that White Wolf didn't quite know what kind of info they wanted to publish in these books when they made this.

One of the Liveliest and Distinct Characters of the Golden Age of Comics.......2006-09-07
This second volume of "Plastic Man Archives" sees Jack Cole really hitting his stride. His stories are charming and comedic, with some dark overtones. His art is precisely cartoony, which is probably an oxymoron. His characters are drawn to appear like something one would see in the funny pages, but Cole packed into his pages incredible detail and energy. "Plastic Man" was easily one of the liveliest and distinct features the golden age of comics produced. It's light-hearted without being ridiculous, serious without being too heavy or grim. I'm glad DC is rolling this series out at such a fast pace.
Take a bite out of crime.......2003-06-22
Jack Cole was one of the true geniuses of the comic book art form. Here we have some great examples of his masterwork, Plastic Man. Plastic Man and his sidekick Woozy Winks are two of the greatest characters of the Golden Age of comics. Jack Cole's odd outlook on life, and his sometimes dark sense of humor, make these among the best of the superhero comics of the era. Highly recommended to superhero fans, especially those who don't them too seriously.
Jack Cole at his humorous Plastic Man best!!.......2002-12-31
Jack Cole was one of the greatest cartoonists in the history of comics and his creation PLASTIC MAN is excellent. The character has been around for over 40 years in books, comics and TV shows. DC presents masterpiece Archive editions that reprint all the PLAS stories. Each collection is plasterific!!
Absolutely Engaging.......2000-10-04
Cole was originally told to create a character like Will Eisner's Spirit, and instead created something entirely wonderful. The originality and dark humor make this book stand out from all others. It appears innocent enough, and it is great fun, but there is an undercurrent of something wry in the late Mr. Cole's work, maybe even a little devilish. Read these originals from the original creator. It will be worth your while.

Customer Reviews:
Great Cookbook!.......2007-08-29
We got this cookbook as a wedding gift and I have tried nearly all of the recipes in it. All are extremely delicious, east to make and impressive.
The pizza dough is easy and the thin crust is tasty; the breakfast items such as the pancakes, french toast, banana milk are great, desserts, beverages, etc. My husband is fairly picky and he has given each recipe so far his approval. Our favorites are the Roasted Chicken with Vegetables, Chicken Satay and Peanut Sauce, Pan Fried Pork Chops, Beef Burgundy, Mac and Cheese (fantastic!), Wild Mushroom Risotto, the Tuna, the Chicken Divine (crowd pleaser), even the Meatloaf! The special occasion recipes are the Prime Rib which my whole family enjoyed and the Filet Mignon - absolutely delicious. In the "Sides" chapter, if you like potatoes, try the Creamy Dreamy Mashed which are great (w/cheddar!), the Potato Pancakes, and the Killer Roasted Potatoes (which my husband always asks for). The banana bread recipe is one of the best ones I've ever tried and the Chocolate cake went over unbelievable at parties.
mmmmmm.......2007-08-01
Everything I've made from this cookbook has been amazing! I've taken quite a few things to social gatherings and nothing but compliments :)
Best Wedding Gift.......2007-05-18
I received this book as a wedding present three years ago and I still find myself pulling it off the shelf over all others. Although my husband and I have always enjoyed cooking together, this book makes it easier and more fun; the recipes are classic and sophisticated. We have already enjoyed several Saturday morning breaskfast and brunch recipes and the ideas for holiday menus are great. Everything has tasted wonderful so far.
Meals with a flair that don't consume your day!.......2007-04-06
My husband bought this for me a few weeks before we got married. He knows how much I love to cook and when he saw me browsing through this in a Williams-Sonoma, he snuck back to the store later and bought it. I'm so glad he did because I absolutely love their recipes! I love to use recipes with a little flair that veer away from the typical "comfort food", but I hate how most of them call for ridiculous ingredients or require you to slave away for 4 or 5 hours! When I come home from a long day at work, that's the last thing I want to do (which is why I sometimes end up eating a bowl of Count Chocula on the couch)! Three reasons I love this cookbook above all others:
1) The directions are clear and easy, I appreciate how they include tips throughout the book on what recipes can be prepared ahead of time, and also the saucy selection of "quick meals" at the back!
2)Their recipes don't feel heavy like general American fare (not that I don't love a Large carton of hot McDonald's fries every now and then).
3)They include ingredients that are a bit more exotic, but don't require you to visit a specialty shop.
We tried their recipe for Guacamole during our Honeymoon week (our honeymoon consisted of moving into our new apartment in Chicago...not exactly Santorini island...but still fun!) and it is the best Guacamole ever created. I've been to countless restaurants of different calibres, and I promise you you won't find one that is better. I've taken it to several parties and family gatherings, and it has become the stuff of legend! It's like catnip for people. Some of my other favorite recipes are the "Goat Cheese, Sun-Dried Tomato & Pesto Torta", the "Wild Rice with Dried Cranberries, Green Onions & Pecans", "Classic Lasagna", and the "Hidden Treasure Bread Pudding" (...and I'm from the South so I KNOW bread pudding, haha).
If you like recipes with flavorful combinations that don't consume your life, BUY THIS BOOK! You won't regret it!
Great for Newlyweds.......2007-04-05
This book is wonderful. There is a wide variety of recipes from simple pasta dishes to more complicated soup recipes. They included desserts and drinks which are perfect for entertaining. This book was a gift from my shower and I love it. My husband and I working our way through each recipe-it's a great way to know all the kitchen devices we now have. I highly recommend it. I use tips from this book when shopping seasonly and in other dishes.

Puppies for Dummies.......2007-09-12
The title says it all. What a great book. I've used it so much the cover is getting worn. My pup is well behaved and I, the owner, am well trained also.
Puppies For Dummies.......2007-03-12
As a breeder of Labrador Retrievers I find this to be a must have bible for my new pup buyers, I give the book with the pup to encourage people to raise their new pup using correct training methods.
A good basic overview of puppy care and training.......2007-01-25
This book doesn't pretend to be an ultimate resource for all puppy-raising and -training issues, so if you buy it knowing that it will provide a good basic overview of the issues you'll face, you won't be disappointed.
I would recommend that new or -- preferably -- prospective puppy owners read this book first and then follow up with something like "The Art of Raising a Puppy" by the Monks of New Skete and/or one or two of Patricia B. McConnell's books on dog behavior (like "The Other End of the Leash"), you'll be pretty-well educated on most of what you'll need to know to be a responsible puppy companion and you'll be on the on the way to raising a polite, well-socialized dog.
This book REALLY helped me........2007-01-24
I recently got Izzy, my very first puppy. I read about 10 books in preparation for her, and this book really helped some it all up and explain so many things. Definately recommend this book to first time pet owners.

Customer Reviews:
Great Book.......2007-10-06
This book really helped me decide if I wanted to get a Yorkie. I felt it didn't sugar coat them and made them feel real.
biting?.......2007-09-16
I cannot believe there is no chapter on biting as a puppy. It is a thoroughly obnoxious habit--thought this book would have had some words of wisdom.
Yorkies.......2007-09-13
It's a very good book and it made me realize that I don't want a Yorkshire Terrier. Too small!
Dummy No More!.......2007-07-24
This book was a God send. I'd highly suggest buying it and reading it from cover to cover before bringing your little Yorkie home. The book is an easy read and because of the format, you can skip to what's important to you and read the rest at a later time. We bought our little puppy from the breeder when he was a mere 6 weeks unlike the standard 12 weeks, which I was actually a little nervous about. However, the book was right on the money with instructions on what to expect when picking him up from the breeder to his very first night in his new home. We just recently took the little guy to his first appointment with the vet. That too is covered in the book! The vet was impressed with how much I knew about the breed and puppies in general. I have this book to thank for that. I really would have been lost without it.

Great reference.......2007-09-27
This book is really handy. It's nice that it's specific to the chihuahua breed--lots of information to help this new puppy owner differentiate between the general advice for all puppies and approaches best suited to my pup.
One of my favorite things about this book is the way it has really helpful information like diagrams of different tail positions and whether they indicate something is wrong. Great reference.
great book.......2007-08-05

Easy and fun to read, plus informative!.......2006-12-17
I found this book to be very easy and fun to read, plus extremely informative. It's a great book to buy BEFORE you get your Chihuahua because it puts everything into perspective. After I got my two Chihuahua puppies I carefully followed this book's instructions and my puppies immediately learned to be very obedient and it wasn't long before they were potty trained inside and outside the house. I highly recommend it!
Good.......2006-07-28
I liked this book very much. It had Info that I needed to know about Chihuahuas and how to raise them.
Best "For Dummies" I've read.......2006-03-02
This book was very well written and had everything I could possibly want to know about Chihuahuas. The author seemed very knowledgable and that fact that she used to show AmStaffs makes me like her even more. Two thumbs up.

Dachshunds for Dummies.......2007-07-20
Not very helpful. Could be talking about any dog. Recipes in the back of the book are dangerous for dogs. Some of the ingredients are toxic to dogs and could make them sick or kill them. Not happy about that. This book should know helpful and healthy lifestyles for animals. This is the second dog for dummies book I've bought. Won't buy any more.
Dachshunds for Dummies.......2007-04-02
Bought for a friend with a new Dachyl - she loves both!
Dachsies..good reference book.......2007-02-10
Even though have had several dachshunds over the years I still found the book interesting and informative. But then, what's not to love about these bossy little 4 legged fun loning animals?
A real eye opener.......2007-01-05
Dachshunds are very loving and wonderful dogs, but they are also some of the most stubborn creatures that you will ever meet. This book really helped us to understand how to train and relate to our new puppy. We were ahead of the game when it came to potty training and discipline because of this book. I highly recomend this Dachshunds for Dummies for all dachshund owners (both present and potential).
dachshunds for dummies.......2006-02-01

Book Description
The son of a former slave, Paul Robeson (1898-1976) rose to become an All-American athlete, Phi Beta Kappa student, internationally celebrated singer and actor, and champion of racial equality. Yet despite his courage and many accomplishments, he could not overcome the combined effects of racism and McCarthyism. He was forced to live his last years in internal exile under FBI surveillance, a broken man.
Over twenty years in preparation, this massively researched biography takes Robeson from his humble beginnings in rural New Jersey to international fame on the eve of World War II. Drawing on a variety of new sources, the book presents a fully rounded picture-a portrait that corrects, supplements, and revises previous work on Robeson and his circle.
