Book Description

As questions of citizenship generate new debates for this generation of Americans, Thomas argues for revitalizing the role of literature in civic education. He considers 4 case studies in which individuals are presented in literature as "the good citizen," "the patriotic citizen," "the independent citizen," and "the immigrant citizen." He also provides analysis of the civic mythology surrounding Abraham Lincoln and the case of Ex parte Milligan. Engaging current debates about civil society, civil liberties, civil rights, and immigration, Thomas draws on the complexities of law and literature to probe the complexities of U.S. citizenship.

Not simple.......2007-04-19

I'm six years old and I'm in first grade. I found this Super Simple Origami book in the first grade section of the library at my school. The title said super simple origami. It was not simple at all! It was too hard. Never buy or borrow this book.

From the mom: I helped my son type this review. He was so excited to try out folding, and got so frustrated. We tried several of the designs. I will also be speaking to the librarian about a more appropriate section for the book. Unfortunately, the school only goes up to fourth grade.

Really? It's not so simple.........2005-04-12

I have this book, I like the models, and they are presented well,even showing how to use them, and I am a folder! BUT... the instructions are not simple. A folder who has folded a moderate amount can figure out the instructions and complete the models without too much stress. But a beginner adult or child will have trouble!
An adult who has never folded trying to fold with a child might have trouble and it is certainly not the book for children to pickup to use first time. You'll be frustrated and not fold!
So get some experience, be prepared to think it through, you'll need patience, but the models are good.

are the other reviewers on crack?.......2004-02-04

OK- I am very new to Origami,and need detailed instructions in ENGLISH. I did not find this book to be super simple as the title promised. The book uses the complicated origami language throughout. If you do not understand the international origami code, then you will find this book to be super difficult.

Too Easy.......2001-09-30

Well That's The Name Super Simple, This Is For Children Who Aren't Good Enough For The Tough Stuff. If Your Friend Says to You That You Stink At Origami. Well, If they Say That Than That Probably Means They're Way Better Than You. But After You Read This Book , You Will Be One Step Closer To Making The Tiger Your Friend Can Make But You Can't!

Super Simple Origami.......2001-06-20

Simple origami is not necessarily boring origami. While the models in this book are simple enough for children to learn many adults will find plenty of models to add to their repertoire. The illustrations are large, the photographs of the finished model are very detailed and the instructions are easy to follow. This book will provide many hours of fun for teachers and students, parents and children and the origami enthusiast.

Book Description

This irresistible celebration captures dogs in their finest moments, at the charming and idiosyncratic society dog shows of the 1930s and '40s, when both dogs and owners were at their dapper best. Selected from the collection of the late, renowned society photographer Bert Morgan, these more than 150 exquisite duotone photographs evoke an era of refined leisure with the famous and fabulous-and their dogs-in competition and at home: eight-year-old Jacqueline Bouvier, Band-Aid on her knee, stands beaming on her front lawn with her enormous Great Dane; firehouse Dalmations line up at the Westminster Kennel Club's annual show; and descendents of Napoleon Bonaparte admire their distinguished pup on a park bench. Pedigreed pets vault walls, preen and promenade, all for the admiration of their owners-and the judges. Dog lovers and society watchers alike will enjoy ?this fun evocation of canine daring-do and gilded-age glamour.?

A beautiful book of formal and informal dog show shots........2001-10-16

I picked up this book out of curiosity, noting that most of the shots were taken on Long Island in the 30's. I have been to many of the shows listed. The pictures are a wonderful history of dogs and dog showing mostly in the New York area. The photographer does not limit himself to just the breed ring. There are also shots of dogs at obedience and field trials. The pictures of the rich and famous with their dogs are very interesting. The photos also show how much some breeds of dogs have changed over the years. Notably, the German Shepherd. Nowadays, only the dogs from Germany look like the ones in this book, and they would never win at Westminster. I really enjoyed the beautiful pictures, many many breeds are represented. A great find for a dog lover and/or exhibitor.

Not Just About Dog Shows!.......2000-05-07

This book is a remarkable social document. It's not just the marvelous pictures of dogs and their people at dog shows, but an evocative slice of New York society from the 1930's and 40's.

Bert Morgan's phtographs capture the dogs and the people at play at dog shows, field trials and at home (and what homes!) New York high society obviously felt comfortable with Morgan and it shows. The photos are candid and capture the easy, affectionate relationship between human and canine subject.

What is also fascinating about the book are the photographs which show fashion and style; great clothes, cars and dogs. There are numerous photos of the famous. Jaqueline Onansis with a Great Dane nearly as tall as her in a picture from 1935; actress Shirley Booth arriving in Florida by train with her poodles in 1950; politician and diplomat Averill Harriman at a field trial in the mid 1930's.

And if you are into dog shows, hundreds of vintage pictures of dogs, handlers, owners and judges at historic dog shows throughout the northeast. For the fancier, you can compare the differences in dog styles between show dogs now and show dogs 60 years ago. Some breeds look exactly the same; others look like entirely different dogs.

I was touched by the obvious affection these people had for their dogs and the way Bert Morgan captures those feelings and that way of life.

A book that all dog lovers will enjoy, but also a book for people who want to learn what life was life for the rich and comfortable during a dark chapter in American history.

While it would have been nice to see more commentary, the pictures do speak for themselves and they speak to us many years later.

Dated, but of interest to garden historians..........2000-12-08

E. A. Bowles book, MY GARDEN IN SUMMER, is part of a several part series of books he wrote describing his garden at Myddelton England during his tenure in the early part of the 20th Century.

I bought this book because I enjoyed books written by Beverly Nichols, an English writer who moved to the countryside after WWII and rebuilt the garden surrounding an old house. Nichols has the help of an excentric gardener, and all sorts of adventures with his cats and kooky maiden neighbors. I thought Mr. Bowles would prove to be another Brit gardener with a wry sense of humour but he is not -- at least in this book.

I am also a fan of Elizabeth Lawrence, a horticulturist with the N.C. State government who practiced her craft in the latter part of the 20th Century, beginning in the 1940s. Ms Lawrence referred to Mr. Bowles books in her own books. I love Ms. Lawrence writing because she not only provides the scientific particulars of each plant, she shares the gardening experiences relayed to her via her correspondance -- with Mr. Howdyshel in Ohio and gardeners in other parts of the country. Ms. Lawrence also provides the reader with many anectdotal bits about the plants, as well as the history of the plant. Ms. Lawrence is factual, sometimes amusing though not funny, and I find her books entertaining.

If MY GARDEN IN SUMMER is a fair sample of Mr. Bowles writing, his book will appeal to no one but the avid historical garden enthusiast with an in-depth knowledge of plants and curiostity about another gardener's experiences with various plants at different times in the last century. Or, someone who intends to visit Myddleton Garden in England, or has visited it might enjoy the book. Being able to see the real thing often helps, and the gardens are being restored--probably why the book was republished.

Mr. Bowles book contains a dozen or so black and white photos of mixed quality. For some reason, about half of them appear in the section he wrote on sedums and succulents. One photo in particular is very pretty, showing a long terrace with about 30-40 pots of various succulents. I'd like a blow-up of that photograph for it's aesthetic properties. You won't be able to identify many of the succulents in the pots, however.

An appendix in the back of the book provides the reader with the current names of the plants Mr. Bowles discusses. In spite of this update, I found the sections of greatest interest to me a bit deficient. On my next visit to England, I will visit Myddleton Garden, and then I'll reread the book -- or sections of it. That should help me better appreciate it.

Book Description

Oft quoted but seldom credited,Charles Dudley Warner’s My Summer in a Garden is a classic of American garden writing and was a seminal early work in the then fledgling genre of American nature writing. Warner—prominent in his day as a writer and newspaper editor—was a dedicated amateur gardener who shared with Mark Twain, his close friend and neighbor, a sense of humor that remains deliciously fresh today.

In monthly dispatches, Warner chronicles his travails in the garden, where he and his cat, Calvin, seek to ward off a stream of interlopers, from the neighbors’ huge-hoofed cows and thieving children, to the reviled, though “propagatious,” pusley weed. To read Warner is to join him on his rounds of his beloved vegetable patch, to feel the sun on his sore back, the hoe in his blistered hands, and yet, like him, never to lose sight of “the philosophical implications of contact with the earth, and companionship with gently growing things.”

This Modern Library edition is published with an extensive new Introduction by Allan Gurganus, author of Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All and The Practical Heart.

Download Description

The love of dirt is among the earliest of passions, as it is the latest. Mud-pies gratify one of our first and best instincts. So long as we are dirty, we are pure. Fondness for the ground comes back to a man after he has run the round of pleasure and business, eaten dirt, and sown wild-oats, drifted about the world, and taken the wind of all its moods.

Not Your Usual Garden Book.......2004-05-13

MY SUMMER IN A GARDEN is a slim volume in a series of neglected gardening classics being reprinted by Modern Library, however, to suggest the subject of the book is limited to gardening is to do it a great disservice. In the guise of a week-by-week account of one summer in his garden Charles Dudley Warner waxes philosophical on religion, society, animals, schoolboys, hunters and neighbors as well as plants. Its style will feel familiar to readers of the later literary garden-musings of E.B. White and Elizabeth Von Arnim. Although Warner died in 1900 his language is remarkably fresh and the complaints and joys of gardening familiar. The side comments on women's suffrage only remind one with surprise that in spite of the similarities he was living in a very different time.

I found the book when tracking down the following Warner quote, "Regrets are idle; yet history is one long regret. Everything might have turned out so differently!" and in reading the book discovered other gems such as, "Nothing shows one who his friends are, like prosperity and ripe fruit. I had a good friend in the country, whom I almost never visited except in cherry-time. By your fruits you shall know them." It is the gentle humor and subtle wisdom of his observations that elevate Warner's book above the ordinary. Being, at present, a city dweller transplanted from childhood gardens, I found reading the book a great comfort.

Behold the onion...........2002-05-18

Charles Dudley Warner appears to have lived an enviable life. He was educated when most men did not have an opportunity to become educated. He was editor and publisher of the 'Hartford Courant' and lived in Hartford next door to Samuel Clements. Warner was not only a neighbor but a good friend of Mark Twain with whom he co-authored THE GILDED AGE, and with whom he seems to have shared a sense of humor. Warner's writing is insightful and funny, but not always politically correct according to 21st Century U.S. standards. Allen Gurganus introduces the book with an overly long essay.

In MY SUMMER IN A GARDEN Warner shares 19 weeks of life in his garden (one growing season). His garden is located in Hartford at the edge of a game preserve. During the course of the summer, President Grant is in Hartford and stops by for a visit. As the men sit in Warner's yard, Grant says he can hardly wait to retire to his own garden as he is fed up with politics. Warner has been fighting pusley in his garden and he and Grant discuss the advantage of inviting immigrants who eat pusley and would soon rid the country of both problems.

Warner has various encounters with: hunters tracking quail who stray from the game preserve, one of whom claims he is looking for a lost chicken; small boys who eat berries from his vines and gather nuts from his trees; birds who attack his pea pods, the neighbor's hens who range too freely until he is looking for one to fill a pot; and the owner of a cow pastured in his yard. In spite of drought, theft, and green worms, at the end of the summer Warner is able to put aside enough vegetables to feel he has accomplished something and then his wife Polly takes credit for the work.

Of interest to me is that more than 100 years after Warner published his book, U.S. gardeners can still complain about some of the same things Warner complained about--and more. Most gardeners know that the U.S. has been infested with a whole array of pests and diseases that were not around when Warner gardened. For example, three new plagues including the Varroa mite have attacked American honey bees since the 1980s. Partly these attacks are owing to the introduction of containerized shipments that cannot be inspected and may hold verboten materials (plants, animals, insects). Partly these problems are owing to flagrant violations by individuals who believe U.S. laws concerning the transport of "foreign" plants do not apply to them. Warner's worries about green worms in his celery, witch grass in his potato hills, and pulsey seem mild in comparison.

Only read Warner.......2002-03-13

I was intrigued by the title and sold by the exerpt. Charles Dudley Warner is fun. But skip the opening 30 pages or so. It's not that the other gentlemen don't write well, but they're not exactly fun. Besides, I didn't buy it to read a discussion of his more boring, 'professional' work in all those pages numbered with tiny Roman numerals. So go directly to Warner's first essay (which is the exerpt) on page 11.

This inventory is a toy collector (or kid's dream) come true! Each page is full of high quality, colored pictures with the name and description of the ponies IN YEAR ORDER of when they came out. A picture of the new in box ponies of EACH one is also featured at the bottom of the page!

This guide also feautres EVERY pony and My Little Pony piece from 2003-2007 when the book was published- If your little girl (or boy) loves the ponies, you would be at a loss to not purchase this book for them.

Can't afford to buy or purchase every pony out there? Well this would make a great addition to the pony collection and doesn't take up as much space and money as owning all the ponies!

Book is a WONDERFUL tool to have for collectors!.......2007-08-06

The pictures are nice and glossy with excellent descriptions of each item. SO many pages from the past few years of all the pony toys and playsets and she provides checklists next to each item! I was personally excited about getting this book and was lucky to get to meet Summer in person and have her sign it for me. :) I highly recommend this book. I will definitely be using it for years to come. Thanks so much Summer for a fantastic product!

FANTASTIC Resource for G3 Collectors!.......2007-06-22

This book is DEFINITELY worth it if you collect the current release My Little Ponies. Everything is very organized, with pictures of the different ponies both in their original packaging and removed from the box. Some even have detailed Cutie Mark pictures. There are notes about special European released items and the peculiar Mexican and Brazilian ponies, as well as those available for general distribution worldwide.

The only error I caught was a picture mix-up involving Fancy Hair ponies Royal Beauty and Rainbow Treat on page 112. Other than that, everything was perfect!

It is a fabulous paper resource to organize and catalogue one's collection.

This could also make a very good gift for children who like the My Little Pony toys, due to the pictures and interesting information, but beware--they could fall in love with one of the RARE ponies like Rosey Posey! ;) Of course, perhaps that would create a budding collector!

I can't wait to see a second or third edition as the My Little Pony line continues! Heaps of thanks to Summer Hayes for taking the time to get this guide together!

just got it today!!!!.......2007-06-22

this books even better than i thought it would be. my sister and i collect all these ponies since they came out in stores and we didn't know which ones we were missing. my mom wants us to sell them so we got this book so we could figure out what went with what because everything is all messed up and mixed up lol. this book is good for that because it tells you what comes with each pony and all their names and that stuff. The pics are all really nice and the whole book is in color with pictures of all the ponies both and in out of their boxes so its nice to just look at them. its a really big book , you could totally hit someone with and do some damage lol.if you love my little pony, this book is really fun!

Warner was an American essayist in the late 1800's. This volume contains two works. In My Summer in a Garden Warner strays from the usual how-to book. He gives helpful gardening advice, but his humor and serious talk about plant life gives the reader lessons in daily living. Calvin was a character in this book and a short memoir is added showing what an exemplary life he led and how his humble life is an example for us.

At Ringside for Workers and Farmers.......2004-06-07

This beautiful two-volume edition is the best place to get a picture of what attracted millions of revolutionary workers to the communist banner during Lenin's time and what will attract many more millions to communism over the coming years, under the impact of years of imperialist war and economic depression. A call to workers and farmers to organize, to study politics, to defend ourselves against imperialist oppression, and to take power in our own name-that is the call that rings out from the speeches and manifestos gathered in these volumes. The delegates are ordinary men and women discussing issues of total relevance for today: The importance of women's right to all workers and farmers, the struggle of the Muslim people against foreign domination, the need to support the Irish, mid-Eastern, African, Latin-Amrican and Indian workers against the colonial powers, the need to participate and lead wherever workers are in struggle, joining hands with any party of workers that attempts to seize power and take control of society out of the hands of the tiny class of greedy capitalists that currently rule most of the globe. This edition puts you at ringside for all the discussions with wonderful photo signatures, chronology, appendix, notes, and introduction. These volumes are rich for workers and youth who are looking at these questions for the first time as well as for scholars.

The Russian Revolution: a beacon of hope and an example of s.......2004-05-31

This impressive collection of resolutions, reports and discussion transcripts captures the flavor of the Second World Congress of the Communist International, as was as giving a nearly complete documentary record of the proceedings. The two-volume work, with over 1,000 pages, part of the "Communist International in Lenin's Time" series, is the product of a large international team of researchers, translators and editors working under the direction of Pathfinder Press. The extensive Notes section, together with the carefully-prepared Introduction, Glossary, Chronology and Index, helps to orient the reader as to time and place, provides a solid grounding in the facts, and answers every question that might arise in the course of reading the book.

The Russian Revolution of November 1917 was an immense upheaval in a massive empire bordering on many countries of Europe and Asia. The impact of the Russian events flowed outward across the borders and soon began to be absorbed by millions of workers and peasants throughout the world. These masses learned that in Russia a party of revolutionaries had organized the poor and downtrodden to take over the country. The wealthy aristocratic landowners had been driven out by peasants with pitchforks in hand. The capitalist factory owners and bankers had been forthrightly stripped of all their financial and industrial property, ousted from their exalted status, and the employees had begun the process of organizing production in collaboration with a government that represented their interests: a government of workers and farmers.

What was the Communist International? Launched in the spring of 1919 by the Soviet Communist party, together with their comrades in other countries, it fulfilled the need felt by those millions of toilers to come close to this powerful new revolution, to learn about it, to emulate it, and to do in their countries what had been done in Russia. Further, it fulfilled the need of the Russian working people themselves to help to promote and organize world solidarity with the Russian Revolution. Only with this solidarity could the new proletarian regime survive the crippling onslaught of the armies of U.S. and European capitalism, in 1919 and 1920. The Soviet Communists, guided principally by Lenin, organized the Communist International to build leadership on a world scale to respond to these needs.

The Second World Congress, held in Petrograd and Moscow in the summer of 1920, brought together some 218 representatives of revolutionary organizations from 37 countries. There they engaged in over 3 weeks of intense political discussion, debate and decision-making. The fundamental slogan of the Congress: "Workers of the World and Oppressed Peoples, Unite!" encapsulates one of the central themes delegates struggled with: how to unify the workers movements in all countries with the masses of agrarian toilers; how to bring together the oppressed nations, struggling to achieve national liberation, with the workers movements in the capitalistically-developed countries. Other critical debates revolved around the nature of communist parties, their political program and organizational principles; the differences between the new communist movements and the now-discredited Socialist parties; and the relations between political parties of the working class and the trade unions. These discussions provide lessons that remain critical for fighting workers and farmers in today's world - a world full of promise for a new rebirth of genuine communism.
