Don't waste your time/ money/ brain cells.......2006-06-14

I lOVE using primary source documents to teach history. I was hoping this book would point me in the direction of good primary source docs, and the Socratic questions to ask about them, to get students thinking.

Instead of interpreting primary source docs to form their own points of view, students are exposed (via the teacher's readings) on various leftist propoganda. This book is bias, and will get students thinking with the likes of Gore Vidal, Michael Moore, Noam Chomsky... oh, and Craig Unger's "House of Bush, House of Saudi." All of these are recommended reading on the Iraq conflict, with no primary source documents... much less any recommended authors who support the war. Want to make the students really buy into socialism? Try the chapter on the Zapatistas... very positive about these murders and drug traffickers.

Why can't I just get a good list of primary source documents, without all the leftist commentary?!?

Book Description

Russel Wright (1904-76) was arguably the most influential U.S. designer of the early twentieth century. A visionary artist who pioneered the fusion of modern design and domestic practicality in his household wares, Wright brought his innovative design to the general U.S. public and changed the face of the American household.Russel Wright: Good Design Is for Everyone focuses on the most influential and enduring aspects of Wright's art, which called for more informal and easier living through his houseware design and ecologically sensitive landscape design. Good Design collects many of Wright's essays and extensive illustrations, offering significant insight into Wright's philosophies about domestic design and its relationship to the modern American home. This book is both a thorough introduction to Russel Wright's work and a superb study of his creative process.

One of my favorites.......2003-05-14

Although this book is written for tiny gardens, I think the ideas are great for any garden. There are so many beautiful pictures and easy instructions for getting the same effect in your own garden. Who couldn't adapt one of these photos for a garden room in any size garden? This book has ideas for pots and patios and ponds, raised beds and sunken gardens, and even roof-top gardens. While the majority of pictures look like English gardens, they also range from Asian to Mediterranean. If you can find this book, you should definitely buy it.

Truly Tiny Gardens.......2000-03-28

I enjoyed Truly Tiny gardens. I found the pictures to be not only enchanting, but also offering a wealth of ideas. Some of the projects are involved...but the resulting efforts are worth it. All in all very helpful for gardening in a limited space.

Book Description

LONG TEXT This new paperback edition of Wensinck's Concordance et Indices de la Tradition Musulmane serves a double purpose, one of a practical, the other of a more ideal nature. When the seventh and final volume of the Concordance was published in 1969 (followed in 1988 by the eighth volume which contains the Indices), both muslims and islamologists agreed that here was the completion of an enterprise of the highest importance. More than forty years of international academic team-work had resulted in a key to that highly diverse and far from homogeneous corpus that constitutes the canonic and most authoritative texts of Islamic Tradition, itself a major source for Islamic theology and law, and besides that, a goldmine of information on the history of ideas in the formative period of Islam. Under the guidance of Wensinck and his successors many thousands of pages of sometimes poorly accessible works were indexed and an enormous amount of catchwords were recorded together with their context. With the combined efforts of editors, authors, sponsors, typographers and the publisher an extraordinary book was produced, in which three generations of scholars were involved. This work has proven to be extremely useful for all those who professionally or confessionally are concerned with the Tradition literature of Islam. Much of the recent hadit studies could not have been accomplished if no such work as the Concordance had existed. Wensinck's Concordance will continue to play its role as an essential research tool for quite a time. E.J. Brill of Leiden now publishes a paperback edition of the work. The monumental hard-cover edition was far beyond the financial means of students and professors and could only be found in libraries, if at all. The new edition is more modest than the previous one both in price and in size but otherwise it is a complete and unabridged reprint of the first edition. SHORT TEXT The publication of this new paperback edition of Wensinck's Concordance will reach a far wider audience of readers than did the monumental hard-cover which was beyond the financial means of many students and professors, and could only be found in libraries. This edition will continue to play its role as an essential research tool for all those who are concerned with the Tradition literature of Islam. More than forty years of international academic team-work resulted in a key to that highly diverse and far from homogeneous corpus that constitute the canonic and most authoritative texts of Islamic Tradition, itself a major source for Islamic theology and law, and in addition, a goldmine of information on the history of ideas in the formative period of Islam. Under the guidance of Wensinck and his successors many thousands of pages of sometimes ill accessible works were indexed and an enormous amount of catchwords were recorded together with their context to produce an extraordinary book involving three generations of scholars.

Book Description

"Bob Basso is the poignant and rivetingly funny voice of the sixty-plus generation yearning to recapture the simplicity and wholesome values of a fading past. His tenth book, a compilation of short stories, Searching For Hula Love Under A Blue Papaya Moon, is pure soul food."--William LeClaire, Editor, New Books Weekly (Editor's Choice Award)

If you're over fifty, or hope one day to reach it, then you'll recognize the common struggle to rise above modern absurdity and find refuge in your own history. Some tales are autobiographical, verbatim true, others more or less true. Deciphering which is which is part of the fun.

An aging historian loses self-importance encountering France's greatest living myth ("The Legend of Mr. Beaumarchaise"); the frustration of sex after sixty combines with disgust of all things politically correct ("White Man's Rage"); an ironic farewell to heroes ("Forty-Two Minutes With The Boys of Pearl"); an eccentric Nobel Prize poetess burns her books and looks to her garden for salvation ("Yard Work"); and magic, myth and an epic journey backward to recapture meaning at the end of life ("Searching For Hula Love Under A Blue Papaya Moon").
