Book Description

The very act of making a personal garden implies that the gardener feels at home, and creating a garden in a foreign country requires a special character. This handsomely illustrated volume features gardens by fascinating Americans, from Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson to Edith Wharton and Gore Vidal, who have planted their roots in England, France, and Italy since the earliest days of our nation.

In a readable text filled with insights into expatriate life, art historian May Brawley Hill describes how American gardens on foreign soil, like autobiographies, reveal the personalities, values, and experiences of their makers. Henry James began as a novice, but quickly developed a flair for growing flowers. Gerald and Sara Murphy lived well in their beautiful flower garden at Villa American in Antibes. Art historian Bernard Berenson loved to take walks in the garden he invariably left his wife to tend. The first book to study American horticultural society abroad, this delightful book, illustrated with period prints, photographs, and paintings, will captivate all those interested in gardening, great American thinkers, and life as a foreigner. AUTHOR BIO: May Brawley Hill is an art historian with a special interest in American art and a passionate interest in gardening. She is the author of several books on American gardens and has contributed articles to a number of journals.

Charming, Evocative, and Useful.......2005-04-26

The book is charmaing, evocative and useful -- giving carefully researched or inferred descriptions of real gardens that were manufactured by and for real American artists who worked abroad. We are effectively carried across oceans, and back in time -- and a wealth of illustrations both of paintings and of places, makes it possible for readers to walk with the author, and to experience with her, artists' gardens that may long since have gone to seed.

Book Description

Although much has been written about the philosophy of Hasidism, the same cannot be said of the daily practice of Hasidic life. In this respect the present study forms an exception as it is an ethnographic account of a Hasidic group in Mea Shearim, Jerusalem. Many topics are dealt with, such as religious and political attitudes, family life, community organisations, social stratification, view of the world, relations with the outside world and religious leadership. A central theme is the ascetic lifestyle of the Hasidim. A short introductory chapter is devoted to the anthropology of religion in which the meaning of the Hasidic concept of religion is explained.

Book Description

The military valor, scholarship, and entrepreneurial leadership of Sir John Monash are recounted in this biography of one of Australia's most famous public figures. While his academic prowess in the fields of literature, music, theater, language, and Jewish scholarship distinguished him at the University of Melbourne, Monash gained national fame during World War I when he was one of the few senior allied generals to emerge from Gallipoli with his reputation unscathed. His pioneering use of reinforced concrete, leadership of the state electricity commission, and work to secure the Gippsland's huge brown coal deposits were signatures of his domestic economic leadership. This revealing portrait provides a glimpse of the intensely personal and introspective man behind the confident leader.

For St. Patrick's Day, St. Martin's Press proudly presents a newly redesignededition of this classic book by Alice Taylor, one of Ireland's most respectedand highly acclaimed authors. "(Taylor) manages in this small book to evoke aprecious time and place that is quite unforgettable".--Pittsburgh Press.

Customer Reviews:

Gentle, warm, caring . . ........2006-09-11

Alice Taylor's works are much like herself, gentle, warm and caring, with a twinkling bit of humor throughout. Quench the Lamp, like To School Through Fields, is Taylor's memory trip through a childhood in an Ireland that has largely disappeared, eaten by the "Riverdance Phenomenon". This is no stage show, this is the real thing, growing up on a farm in an Irish Catholic family, with a strong sense of belonging and doing what is right.

No matter what your age, no matter what your roots, if you enjoy reading about how families get along, how traditions are kept and how love is celebrated, Alice Taylor's works are for you.

Make a pot of tea and enjoy.

An Interesting subject.......1999-12-03

A book which touches an interessting concept: a home for under 80 000 US Dollars (construction costs and architects fees included)where new approaches, concepts and ideas are put together. Interessting from my point of view, as to how the traditional home might be in a world where things are changing so rapidly. Should architects continue proposing a fixed architecture or a renewable one? Where users of architectural spaces have a higher degree of intervention allowing their expressions to manifest the space which they occupy. This book has 36 prototypes of homes ranging from a DIY Home, a home as a commodity which can travel with you, to the home ( as a living and working space) linked through telecomunications to the outside world. This book is the result of Peripheriques having invited 36 European architects to participate in this assignment, which simultaneously produced an exhibition with the architects models which is currently touring Europe. If you are an architect you will apprecitate the ideas in this book. Enjoy it :)

Customer Reviews:

Very good for beginner.......2000-04-03

This book is very good for beginner, as it mentions all the basic and foundamental concepts and mindsets in selling. However, as a product of MDRT centre, I am expecting more. I am expecting some more in-depth insights or inspirating ideas for the sales who is in average but wants to increase their business to MDRT level. Frankly specking, I am quite disappointed when I found out that this book contains mainly foundamental concepts which are not distinctive and which I have heard about from other sources (remember, this book is from MDRT centre, not other "average" writers).
