Surprisingly fine!.......2003-12-11

In my opinion, this book is worth the price for the history section alone. I have bought other books from this publisher in the past and have not been pleased, and in this case bought the book for the pictures only (which are great!). Either the publisher has raised their standards, or this book is and exception. Much of the material is the same as you would find in any basic dog book, but that is understandable because dog needs are very much the same, regardles of the 'suit' they wear. I wish for more and more in depth information, but for what it is, this book is great.

Pure Pledgerism and 100 % Disappointment.......2001-01-18

As the ultimate dog lover of 3 dogs ( one being a foxhound) and avid reader, I can honestly say that this book lacked information specific to the American Fox Hound. Although the authors / breeders are to be commended for their well researched chapter on " Hunting and history of the fox hound", the entire rest of the book appears to be pure pledgerism on basic dog / puppy facts gathered from another book . Embedded in the narrative discourse of the entire book are wonderful pictures of fox hounds, but the content is plain and repetitive information that can be found in any puppy or dog basic training book . I was disappointed because this is the only book listed by Amazon on Fox Hounds . Too bad there was no content information on temperment or obedience, or statistics rating aspects of this breed. My opinion is to save your money and search online for information on the American Foxhound by surfing the net.

Book Description

A sequel to The World of Wade, this even larger book continues the Wade story. Here Warner and Posgay share more information and beautiful illustrations of figurines, animal figures, cartoon figures (including Disney), premiums, flowers, money banks, souvenirs, whimsies, tankards, flower jugs, vases, teapots, cream and sugar sets, advertising wares, liquor decanters, tableware patterns, and royal commemoratives. In all, more than 1,300 items are pictured in full color, plus hundreds more in black and white.

This book adds tremendously to our knowledge of Wade. Of special interest is an updated history of the Wade potteries, including a section on decorators and designers. Backstamps, reproductions and reissues also receive careful attention. Well indexed for easy reference.

NOT a key for ID use........2006-03-20

"Definitive"----???? NO WAY! This book has nice pictures but in no way is it good for identifying trees. There are many better ID books out there. Keep looking if you need an easy to use ID key.

A grogeous trip through Italy throughout the seasons!.......2000-07-27

This beautiful book takes the reader on a tour of Italy's countryside by looking at regions when they are at their most alluring. In the Autumn, Tuscany and Umbria are highlighted. The reader experiences the local colors, the wine harvest, the artisan tradition, food of these regions, and country houses, gardens, and vineyards. When Winter arrives, the Alps are at their peak season, so the tour goes to Cortina D'Ampezzo and Courmayeur. There, the viewer see the Alpine beauty, local colors, skiing, the cheese of the Valle D'Aosta, painted furniture, mountain fare and houses. Spring is when everything is in bloom, a welcoming time. The reader goes to Lake Como and Lake Maggiore to view the lakes, local colors, experience water sports, see the silks of Como, relish spectacular rod iron at the lakeside villas and gardens, and enjoy light meals by the lake. The Mediterranean is almost Mecca to travelers in summer. The reader walks along the Italian Riviera, escapes to the Almafi Coast and Sardinia to fall in love with seaside views. Boating is a way of life in summer. Sardinian cloth, tiles, and seafood are abundant and savored. Seaside villas, terraces, and gardens are a breezy way of life for summer tourists and residents. Each area has something wonderful and special. This gorgeous book will help the reader fantasize about some of the most beautiful places on earth until you have your chance to go there.

Book Description

Recorded history is a finely-woven magic fabric of intricate lies about events predating the sixteenth century. There is not a single piece of evidence that can be reliably and independently traced back earlier than the eleventh century. This book details events that are substantiated by hard facts and logic, and validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources.

Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03

Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.

Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19

Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.

Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09

There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.

For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.

Very Interesting.......2007-03-07

It is a good proposal and I believe it will mature into something even better in the future. I think it deserves to be read.

History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10

Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.

I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.

Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.

Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.

I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.

This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.
