Too subjective to be used for objective historical study.......2007-10-04

I bought this book for my world history class this semester, and while I'm only halfway through the book, there is no way it could possibly redeem itself.

Although it does give lots of good information, it rarely includes dates with its facts and its A-sides always get off track by discussing meaningless information that has nothing to do with the readings.

To make matters worse the book is completely obsessed with every cult/religion/sect that pops up in the dates covered - not by telling you the facts (the effect on history, society, etc) but instead by spends page after quoting irrelevant religious scriptures and texts. It even spends time telling bible stories - like the story of Paul getting blinded on the road and treats it like it really happened, God and all! Then it does a flip side and tells stories of might and magic with India's Gods. Want to know about the monkey king of china? It's in here too! In fact, this is a history book and a history of never-never land, (peter pan and pals almost made it, but they saved that for the next edition)

It's also obsessed with writings that are completely meaningless to the period - it wastes several trees worth of paper with excepts from completely unknown novels written by nobodies that had no effect on history whatsoever - the only people that have read these writings to date are the writers, the archeologists who dug it up, and moron who put it in the textbook (not to mention the unfortunate students who have to read the textbooks.) And it wouldn't be that bad if it was in some historical context, like explaining how The Decameron made such an impact on history, maybe tell us what the story was generally about - that much makes sense. But publishing page after page of the book? That's just an attempt to make the book thicker! (Note - The Decameron example is not in the book that I know of, that was just an example of how this book operates.)

If you want an objective lesson in world history, look elsewhere.

If you want to know the history of religions, cults, and sects, along with a few fairy tails, (both divinely inspired and fancy storytelling), this is definitely for you.

*Also, excuse the sarcasm, but this book was a real letdown.

sea anemones as a hobby.......2000-05-11

This is an informative book that covers various varieties of sea anemones. Color pictures accurately describe these invertabrates. Some books on aquariums and fish often produce amateurish quality photos so beware.

Great Book!!.......1999-03-25

Very interesting author

Why go to Disneyland when you can visit Lotusland? If you've never heard of this unique garden 100 miles north of the Magic Kingdom, you may want to plan a detour to Santa Barbara next time you're in Southern California. Tours are limited; however, this book enables garden enthusiasts to tour year-round the crowning achievement of opera singer Ganna Walska, who spent more than 40 years designing and nurturing the 37-acre property she called home. William B. Dewey, Gregory L. Padgett, and Robert Glenn Ketchum are among the photographers whose breath-taking color images of the eclectic, surreal gardens contribute to this volume.

Design and photography a let down.......2007-05-29

Books like this should be something that you'd be proud to have lying on your coffee table. Something to be used for inspiration. However, the design and photography in this book just don't cut it for living room display. That said, it does have a lot of information and images on the history of Lotusland. So buy it for that, not so much for the look of it.

Good work.......2005-08-20

I received this book very quickly. It was wrapped properly and came in a good shape. I enjoy your work very much. And of course I enjoy the book, too.
