Customer Reviews:

Excellent guide- highly recommend.......2005-11-27

I recently took a trip to Amsterdam and used this book- it was phenonmenal! I only spent about four days there, and I took this little book everywhere with me. It provided the essential information, highlights, and sufficient background knowledge to sightsee. However, as the title suggests, it is a condensed version, so don't plan referring to this guidebook for every obscure detail. I am a fan of Lonely Planet, and this guidebook continues its reliable tradition.

Book Description

The Father of His Country was not always that stellar commander and stern first president who gazes serenely from the famous portraits we have of him. George Washington was once, in fact, a proud, ambitious, and sometimes foolhardy young man whose brashness triggered a major war between the superpowers of his time.

Using Washington's diaries as a source, Robert McClung tells the story of George's uneven beginning steps into greatness. With French and British facing off for control of North America, the 21-year-old Virginian took on military responsibilities far beyond his ability. Sent to warn the French out of the Ohio Valley, he wound up ambushing them in peacetime, being nearly wiped out in return, and being branded as an "assassin." He was with Braddock when that British general's force was nearly annihilated; later, he struggled to maintain discipline over his militia, while he argued with his superiors to the point of insubordination both about battle tactics and the preferments of rank. When the British defeated the French at Fort Duquesne, Washington resigned and retired to a gentleman's life at Mt. Vernon.

George Washington always had courage and great ambition. What he learned as a young man was how to deal with the Indian allies; fight in the woods; keep control of troops; provision his men; and - most of all - curb his fiery temper. These were the things that would pave his way to greatness seventeen years later when he was called to lead the Continental Army into battle against their mother country.

Customer Reviews:

Good book on time period for the age group.......2005-01-25

A good book for those in grades 6 and up concerning George Washington's involvement in the French and Indian War. Many adults, let alone children, do not know why George Washington was given consideration to be commander in chief of the armed forces in the American Revolutionary War. This book gives us that information.
The book starts with Washington's perilous trip to warn the French to leave the Ohio Valley in 1753, takes us through Washington's defeat at Fort Necessity and Braddock's disaster, and ends with Washington's resignation in 1758 after the French abandoned Fort Duquesne (pronounced Dew-cane), which is at the site of present day Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The book's 114 pages (plus a bibliography and index) is not the most exciting writing I have ever read, but it is not boring either. There is enough detail given to make the book interesting, but not enough to make it tedious for the casual reader. The only fault I would give the book is that the author is quick to blame Washington for not only the mistakes he made, but also for events that Washington had little control over. However, if the author took the space to explain every point of view, the book would have been, by necessity, much longer.
For those wanting a book with not too much detail concerning Washington's involvement in the French and Indian War, this would be a good book to read. And for the age group it was written for (roughly junior high age students I believe), it is a very good choice. The book is long enough to include all the important events without being so long so as to bore those who have only a casual interest in the subject. For those who have little or no knowledge of George Washington's involvement in the French and Indian War (and, in fact, his part in STARTING the war), the book would be especially appropriate, even for adults.
As a book in general, I have given the book a 3 star rating. However, if I were to judge the book as a book written for ages 11 and up concerning George Washington involvement in the French and Indian War, I would rate it higher.

A Wonderful Book On George Washington.......2004-11-16

This book was well done for readers of any age,and details the part of George Washington's life that many will probably be unaware of.A good read.

Book Description

Between the 1930s and the 1960s, Raymond Loewy's streamlined designs for thousands of consumer goods -- everything from toasters and refrigerators to automobiles and ocean liners -- radically changed the look of American life. Regarded as the father of modern industrial design, he appeared on the cover of Time in 1949; in 1990, he was selected as one of Life's "100 Most Important Americans of the 20th Century." Whether they realized it or not, Americans at mid-century lived in a Loewy-designed world, from the cigarettes they smoked (Lucky Strike's packaging), the soda they drank (the restaurant Coca-Cola dispenser), the toothpaste they used (Pepsodent's toothpaste tube), the cars they drove (his organization was Studebaker's design and styling department), the buses (Greyhound) and trains (the Pennsylvania Railroad) in which they rode, and the department stores (Gimbel's, Foley's, and Lord & Taylor) and grocery stores (Lucky) where they shopped.

Never Leave Well Enough Alone was first published in 1951 at the height of Loewy's career. His company, Raymond Loewy Associates, served as design consultants to more than a hundred of the world's largest corporations, and products manufactured to their specifications sold in excess of $3 billion annually. Written and designed by Loewy, this profusely illustrated book is part autobiography and part design manifesto. Acclaimed for its wit, its idiosyncracies, and its insight into the Loewy aesthetic, this volume stands as a remarkable document of the American Century and a still-vital meditation upon the importance of industrial design in daily life.

Customer Reviews:

It makes sense!.......2005-06-01

I love this book. It makes sense on the page, and sense when I am riding. I've never had a lesson with Tina, but I tried out some of the exercises and they really work. It's as if she remembers what it's like to be an ordinary rider (though she's obviously not an ordinary rider and trainer herself!) and she has designed these exercises to suit the ordinary rider, and the more ambitious one, providing ways to train yourself for that. I also do a bit of teaching, and I tried out some of the simple stuff on my pupils and they loved it too! It's like I've got a never ending pot of ideas at my finger tips. This book will improve your riding no end.

Book Description

"A picture is worth a thousand words." There is no better description for what the art of the cigar box label did for sales of cigars from the mid 1800s through the 1930s. Busty women, heroes, impish children, sports icons, composers, all these and more found their way into the advertiser's art. The makers would change labels at the drop of the hat if they thought it would help sales. This new book shows hundreds of the finest examples from the world's largest private collection of cigar box label art, revealing the imagination and creativity of the printers and lithographers of the period. Each is shown in a beautiful, full color photograph and is accompanied by a description with a current value on the collector's market. This is a visual delight, sure to please cigar aficionados, but also to be much valued by collectors, designers, and students of advertising history. And it makes a great gift for the smoker in your life!

Book Description

The relationship between theology and philosophy in Gregory of Nyssa's thought is a subject of great controversy. This study on one of Gregory's key writings does not however focus on the study of the source material, but discusses instead the philosophical implications of Gregory's ideas. Thus it is possible to place Gregory's principles in a broader context while maintaining the differences with philosophy. In the first part of the work, the Prooemium of the De Vita Moysis is examined. Following the classical rhetorical tradition, Gregory here starts off with the central themes of the entire work. The second part is devoted to the concept of theoria. This is explored through discussions of the eternity of God, "language theory", human striving towards God, and biblical interpretation. In the last chapter these structures of the notion of theoria are further examined in the light of the theophany in the De Vita Moysis.

Book Description

This volume touches all aspects of Indian dance spanning from the traditional to futuristic. It blends analysis and interpretation and offers a bracing perspective on how classical dance has taken shape through the ages, enriched our culture and maintained our store of wisdom, sanity and humanity, even as it prepares for teh enormous challenges it faces in the new millennium.

It celebrates the brilliant flowering of Indian dance throughout the world. Hundreds of young Dutch, Surinamese and other nationalities learn Odissi in Antwerp. Its School of Tabla Teaching is among the best anywhere. There are Japanese teachers of Kathak in Perth. In Montreal, Toronto and many other cities of Canada, a high level of research and scholarly work on Indian dance studies has been going on for several years now. In the United States, even small towns boast of Bharat Natyam or a Kuchipudi teacher and multicultural classes of enthusiastic learners.

This is a seminal volume with contributions from some of the most eminent names in their respective fields of dance, complemented by a portfolio of photographs of gurus and dancers—both past and present.

'A great fire seemed to burn within him . . . we wondered whether he would ever find the right outlet for his greatness' Sir Alan Drury

Howard Florey was the brilliant, ambitious and sometimes ruthless Australian who developed penicillin, the first antibiotic, enabling a mastery of disease and death never before imagined in human history. The penicillin epic traces the fascinating, often frustrated path of Florey's drive in Britain and the United States to isolate, test and produce the 'miracle drug' that was to empty the infectious wards and revolutionize surgery - changing the pattern of world disease.
