      Book Description

      From the sneakily successful travel series with over one million copies in print, here is the guide to help travelers gain a foothold in Deutschland. Learn to distinguish between Mettwurst, Fleischwurst, Blutwurst, Schinkenwurst, Touristenwurst, Pinkelwurst, and Zungenwurst. Praise beer like the cognoscenti: "This Malz has a strong oak flavor with a faint almond backwash" and "The tanner, curvaceous Rauchbier displays a fine set of bubbles." Critique Bavarian castles, torment skinheads, and discover all the accepted excuses for backing out of a polka evening.

      From the finer points of cultural exchange, such as discussing the cinema ("Why must there be action of any kind in a film? Hollywood's insistence on plot is ridiculous") to making friends in the disco ("I love your black boots/pants/shirt/jacket/hat/lipstick"), this book will make sure no German puts one uber on you again. It's on the Mark. 114,000 copies in print.

      4 out of 5 stars Great German Gag gift book........2007-07-16

      I bought this along with the companion book "Wicked Italian" as a gag gift for a youthful traveler. We all got a kick out of reading the phrases and the translations around the dinner table. I did not buy it thinking I would be learning to swear in German. As a gag gift it was well worth the money. ($5)

      5 out of 5 stars Suspend Reality For Just a Second.......2006-07-01

      And you will love this book! Keep in mind: It is not meant to instruct anyone on how to speak to real-life Germans...it is simply a sarcastic, harmless fun-poking bit of dry humor. If one was silly enough to actually try and use this, he/she might end up with their "hazelnuts in a vise". I live in Germany and have let my German friends take a look at it just to guage their opinions. The result? The humor doesn't translate and they just don't "get it"---they find it neither insulting nor funny.

      So just loosen up, enjoy it for what it is and realize that complaints that it's not a 'real' book are useless and moot. Enjoy! Tschuss!

      Love and Belly Laughs, TH

      4 out of 5 stars Wicked Funny.......2006-03-15

      The Wicked German book is hilarious! Obviously, it's not suitable for any practical use, - you won't learn anything you need to know here - but I laughed my way through the entire book. For that reason alone, I recommend the book to any student of German.

      1 out of 5 stars This Book Sucks.......2006-03-10

      I bought this book figuring it was practical and useful, which for my surprise, was exactly the opposite! It gives you several phrases in German (organized by travel situations and SCENARIOS) which are more of JOKES than helpful statements to use while you are travelling.

      If you are a beginner at German idiom, don't buy it. It won't help you at all.

      However, if you already speak German, and want to laugh at the CULTURAL ASPECTS of Germany, than this is your book indeed.

      2 out of 5 stars Hummm, do you really wanna learn German?.......2006-02-14

      Well, the book is sort of funny but really not very useful if you are trying to learn some serious german...the likelly outcome is that you will have a few laughs and thats all....

        Product Description

        Doing History: Investigating With Children in Elementary and Middle Schools, Third Edition offers a unique perspective on history instruction in the elementary and middle grades. Through case studies of teachers and students in diverse classrooms and from diverse backgrounds, the text shows children engaging in authentic historical investigations, often in the context of an integrated social studies curriculum. The authors begin with the assumption that children can engage in valid forms of historical inquiry-collecting and analyzing data, examining the perspectives of people in the past, considering multiple interpretations, and creating evidence-based historical accounts. Vignettes in each chapter show communities of teachers and students doing history in environments rich in literature, art, writing, discussion, and debate. Teachers and students are shown working together to frame and investigate meaningful historical questions. Students write personal and family histories, analyze primary and secondary sources, examine artifacts, conduct interviews, and create interpretations through drama, narrative, and the arts. The grounding of this book in contemporary sociocultural theory and research makes it particularly useful as a social studies methods text. In each chapter, the authors explain how the teaching demonstrated in the vignettes reflects basic principles of contemporary learning theory; thus they not only provide specific examples of successful activities, but place them in a theoretical context that allows teachers to adapt and apply them in a wide variety of settings. Features include: *Classroom vignettes. Rather than a "cookbook" of lesson ideas, this text illustrates the possibilities (and obstacles) of meaningful teaching and learning in real classroom settings. *Inquiry-oriented instruction. The approaches shown in the classrooms portrayed derive from current theory and research in the field of history education. This text is not a hodge-podge of activities, but a consistent and theoretically grounded illustration of meaningful history instruction. *Diversity of perspectives. This is emphasized in two ways. First, the text helps students look at historical events and trends from multiple perspectives. Second, the classrooms illustrated throughout the book include teachers and students from a variety of backgrounds--this gives the book widespread appeal to educators in a range of settings. *Assessment. Teachers are provided with clear guidance in using multiple forms of assessment to evaluate the specifically historical aspects of children's learning. New in the Third Edition: *Greater attention is given to the role of history education in preparing students for participation in a pluralist democracy. *Connections are made between instructional activities and the aims of citizenship, reflecting the authors' view that history should contribute to deliberation over an evolving common good. *Examples are provided of techniques for scaffolding discussion about controversial issues and for grounding that discussion in historical study. *International comparisons are included to encourage reflection on the range of perspectives on history education across cultures. *Bibliographies are updated to incorporate new scholarship on historical thinking and learning. *New resources are included for children's literature that supports good teaching.

        5 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Book for Educators.......2000-10-25

        I have used this great book in the San Diego State and Wayne State university teacher education programs. It's a wonderful opening to an active, participatory method in teaching social studies. And it is a good reminder to practitioners about what history is, how it is constructed, and who it serves. Students at all levels enjoyed "Doing History." Those looking for ways to promote social agency along with a good grasp of the theory behind historical work will do well with this fine text.

          5 out of 5 stars Great book.......2007-08-12

          This was a great book. Simple and straight forward. His writing style was quite engaging as well. I am new to grouse hunting and this book helped point me in the right direction in terms of where to hunt and how to hunt.

          5 out of 5 stars A-1 grouse hunting resource.......2007-06-27

          I have a library with every book I can get my hands on related to grouse hunting. There are resources specifically on Ruffed Grouse, guns, gunfit, shooting techniques, and every other aspect of the sport. The grouse hunting guides tend to get a read once or twice and then stay on the shelf. Not so with Walrod's book. It is the one hunting guide I have found myself referencing repeatedly. He has great comparative statistics and charts for locating birds depending on the conditions. It is a very enjoyable read and an excellent resource for the dedicated grouse hunter

          4 out of 5 stars An Ok book.......2007-02-19

          From habitat and food to identification he tells it all. Having never hunted grouse before, I found it to have very good information. However I did not find it to be as humorous as a prior reader states. I actually found it to be a bit dry. All in all it is a keeper book to add to my library.

          5 out of 5 stars Great Book.......2007-01-21

          This book is loaded with information that will make you a better grouse hunter. The author truly understands this game bird and is able to take his insightful observations and perfectly convey them in this book. This book is sure to make you a better grouse hunter. The information on the grouse alone is worth the money and throw on top of that the information about guns, loads, dogs, and success rates of other hunters just makes this a must buy. I highly reccommend this book. I bought a few other books on grouse and this one is head and shoulders above the rest.

          5 out of 5 stars Even applies to those in Washington State.......2006-10-30

          Being (apparently) the state advocate and completely tired of all the hunting books which cover only the eastern part of the United States, I found this guide to be a great book no matter where you live and hunt.

          A great picture of a Ruffed Grouse taken from the Gifford Pinchot National Forest in Washington state shows that the authors detail of habitat and other tidbits of hunting information apply in each and every covey around the country. What weapons to use. The appropriate ammo. The right choke. Statistics, opinions, and hard facts. Did I mention the book covers habitat? Oh! I can't forget to mention the recipes! Think of "Fried Grouse with (Wild) Mushrooms" and if that doesn't make your mouth water then check your pulse (or just read all the other recipes - there's some good ones).

          If you have grouse near you, this book will help you find them and hunt them successfully - no matter where you hunt.

          3 out of 5 stars Good but not great.......2007-01-21

          This book has some wonderful photographs and some good content but I was looking for a book that helped me become a better hunter and this book didn't do that. I did learn some things but it was very general. I also purchased the Grouse Hunter's Guide by Walrod and it was fabulous.

          5 out of 5 stars Must read for any serious grouse hunter.......2001-07-06

          This book covers the grouses life cycle, from incubation to adulthood. It also covers its habits throughout the year. I have read many books on grouse, and grouse hunting, and rank this as one of the better books. This book was well written, and captivating.

          5 out of 5 stars Good Buy.......2000-11-17

          Michael Furtman's book,'Woodland Drummer" is an excellent overview of the Ruffed Grouse. The photographs are worth the price of the book alone.

          Mr Furtman gives an overview of the Grouse Family and does a thorough study of the life of the Grouse throughout the year. He covers in detail the courtship, breeding and rearing of the Ruffed Grouse brood along with their diet and habits throughout the cycle of the year.

          He gives an excellent job of covering their habitat needs, in diet, and cover requirements that will enable any Ruffed Grouse fanciers to improve habitat on their own property as well as within their local area. This is an invaluable reference on the habitat requirements of the Ruffed Grouse.

          The information on the social structure is of particular value to the gamebird breeder as well as the detailed dietary needs.

          The book is of value to the casual birder, upland gamebird hunter and gamebird breeder as well as the armchair aviculturist looking for a good read on a fascinating bird.

          5 out of 5 stars Solid Overview of Grouse.......2000-09-18

          This is a great basic overview of grouse, grounded in research, not legend. I've been looking for a while for a book about these birds becuase I simply wanted to get some basics about them. As I read Furtman's book, I not only could readily visualize where I could find grouse through the seasons, but I could almost see the woods through the bird's eyes. He really gives you good information that lays out the who, what, when, where, and, most importantly, the why of grouse.

                5 out of 5 stars On the ruffed grouse.......2004-10-25

                Part of the J. B. Lippincott Co. "Living World" series (published in the 1970s), The World of the Ruffed Grouse is a concise and readable overview of the life history of one of the most elusive of game birds. The text is not overly dense and laced with scientific jargon, and there are numerous photos (unfortunately all are b&w) to illustrate various features and characteristics of the bird. All in all, a suitable book for amatuer birders such as myself.

                        Book Description

                        Stately Angel's Trumpets -- Brugmansia -- are spectacular plants, growing like small trees and living for several years. Datura, sometimes called Thorn Apples, are mostly annuals and are cultivated like summer flowers. The impressive bell flowers of both varieties -- in white, yellow, pink and red -- are extraordinarily decorative. It's no surprise that Brugmansia and Datura are prized by enthusiasts around the world.

                        3 out of 5 stars Good book, but it lacked care help.......2006-06-30

                        This book gave me all the descriptive information I could want. There was not enough information regarding the care of Brugmansia's, like soil type preferred, feeding results, placement in garden. I can only grow one or two types due to my location and zone, so I would be more interested in how to care for the plants than in the different kinds. The book has beautiful pictures and I really enjoyed reading about all the different hybrids. I was hoping for more care and growing tips.

                        5 out of 5 stars A Guide for Growers of Angel Trumpets and Thorn Apples.......2006-03-06

                        I have liked Datura ever since I was a child and found a spectacular plant of Datura wrightii (sometimes synonymized with D. inoxia) growing in a pecan grove. The rolled up flower buds open in a fascinating way, in a spiral. In addition the white flowers open as evening comes on and produce an unbelievably strong fragrance. They are the epitome of a tropical flower.

                        However, if that is true of Datura, than it goes double for Brugmansia! I first saw a blooming plant in a back yard in San Francisco and then in the "wild" at the Asa Wright Nature Center in Trinidad. These are truly spectacular plants, even if all are poisonous (but then so are a number of our favorite garden plants like Narcissus and oleander!)

                        Ulrike and Hans-Georg Preissel have produced a beautiful guide to these wonderful flowers and their cultivation. In fact, the photographs are worth the price of the book alone. This is a great introduction to these exotic cousins of our garden Petunias. If you are at all interested in growing these remarkable tropical plants (which are not all that difficult), than this is your guide!

                        5 out of 5 stars Excellent.......2005-09-01

                        This is an excellent guide for anyone growing brugmansia (angel's trumpets) or datura (thorn apples) either in containers or in the ground. The history and folklore of the plants are discussed with particular attention to their hallucinogenic and medicinal qualities (both plants are poisonous). Classification of the plants are illustrated in detailed charts that show flower shapes, fruits, measurements of flowers, and basically everything (and more) than you would ever need to know. Other chapters cover cultivation, propagation, building a collection, natural changes (in brugmansia) and diseases and pests. The accompanying color photographs are excellent with amble close-ups and many full plant shots. Highly recommended for anyone interested in these outstanding and exotic plants.

                        5 out of 5 stars Simply the best about botany and gardening of these plants.......2004-04-27

                        the preissel book is the most complete description of the two genus brugmansia (angel's trumpets) and datura (thorn apple) available today. the pictures are beautiful, the language understandable (you won't need a degree in botany to proceed).
                        they give keys to distinguish all the known species, and (with brugmansia) for the usual hybrids, and they give many hints for gardening.

                        in short: highly recommendable.

                        by the way, if you don't know what plants angel's trumpets are, try a web search for pictures - you'll be interested, I promise.

                          Book Description

                          It is largely thanks to Zvi Yavetz that the Roman plebs has become "Salonfahig". In numerous important studies Yavetz has focused his -- and our -- attention on the problem of the relationship between the ruler and the masses of the ruled. Thus, it seemed natural to choose various aspects of this relationship as the topic of a volume in his honour. The articles here contributed by thirteen eminent friends and colleagues deal with historical and theoretical questions of the relationship between "the one" and "the many", covering a period from the second century B.C., through the times of the Late Republic and the Principate, to Late Antiquity and, finally, to an intriguing view at modern totalitarianism as perceived from an Enlightenment perspective.
