Amazing and wonderful.......2003-11-27

Return to a time when life was simpler. Discover classic river towns, mountain retreats and coastal fishing villages, small towns where you can still shop on Main Street, where the hardware store and the bookstore are not part of a national chain, old buildings are restored and historic places are preserved. The Burnhams, also co-authors of The Virginia Handbook, have discovered and explored scores of these delightful towns. Destinations include Onancock, on Virginia's Eastern Shore; Irvington, a hip town built around The Tides resort; Strasburg and Front Royal, towns rich in Shenandoah Valley history; as well as coastal towns such as St. Michael's, Crisfield and St. Mary's. The places featured in this book have charming inns and B&Bs, in addition to good, locally owned restaurants. There are enough attractions to satisfy any traveler, but there is also space and time to tarry, to sit in a park or on a shaded bench and watch life pass by.

Book Description

First-person accounts of fourteen Holocaust survivors who as children were hidden from the Nazis by non-Jews.

Customer Reviews:

Interesting.......2006-03-11

I really enjoyed the experience of reading this book- I am a history teacher, with World War II being a time period I am particularly interested in, so I read books along this vein quite a bit. My soft heart particularly likes to read works describing how, even in the midst of a horrible time period, there is still goodness to be found, and stories of individual heroism. I also learned quite a bit, particularly about how often siblings were split up to make their hiding easier (I guess I have read too many books like the Diary of Anne Frank and the Upstairs Room where siblings were together and didn't think about all the times families/siblings got split up during hiding.) It is also a very short book (about 150 pages) and so a quick and worthwhile read.

A little bit sad..........2003-04-30

Maxine Rosenberg, does a wonderful job of editing the heartbreaking non fiction stories of people who thrived during the Holocaust in the late 1930s and early 1940s. In Hiding to Survive, victims of the Holocaust tell about their tragic life stories. Each of the 14 people who share their past experiences were young children during the Holocaust. They had to leave their family in one way or another and learn to adjust to new settings and a new environment. Some of these people even went as far as to deny their Jewish heritage and religion. It is unknown how many Jewish children actually survived or escaped from the Holocaust. On the outside, this book is just a group of people telling their life stories. But if you look into it, it teaches you to never take your family, or anything for that matter, for granted.

Hiding to Survive.......1998-02-06

I am an 11 year old sixth grader. Hiding to Survive is a book about hidden children during the Holocaust. In the first area of the book, there is a small summary about the Holocaust and hiding. Paulette Pomeranz is the first hidden child to be written about. This is a very good book if you want to know something about hidden children. The bad part is that there is no telling if they died or not. That's a vital piece of information. I liked this book because I really care about people and I want to create World Peace 1!

Book Description

These memoirs include Theodore Payne's "Life on the Modjeska Ranch in the Gay Nineties" (long out of print) plus other memoirs never before published. Payne (1872-1963) was a lifelong horticulturist who pioneered in the preservation of California native plants. The book gives an enthralling view of Southern California lands and people from the 1890s to the 1940s. It is the only book by or about Theodore Payne now available.

Customer Reviews:

A fascinating look back at 19th& early 20th century California.......2005-06-23

While Payne's book is not so much a defense of California native plants and their value in terms of beauty and practicality, his book provides some unique insights of a man who came to California in 1893 and who lived in Los Angeles and Orange County as the California landscape was quickly dimishing.

While attending a party at the home of famed Polish actress Madama Modjeska, amid a diversity of people - indigenous, Mexican, Anglo, native and non-native - he marveled at the diversity and the climate that made it possible.

"I thought to myself, 'What a wonderful country. No where else could this happen. Hospitality and freedom. No social lines or barriers and everyone happy and contented."

Book Description

No individual has made his mark on the world more profoundly than Alexander the Great, the young man who, through war, diplomacy, and Machiavellian means, expanded his empire to include most of the known world--all before he died at age thirty-three. A remarkable man whose path crossed with some of the most influential people, places, and events of all time, Alexander began his combat training at age seven, studied philosophy with Aristotle at age thirteen, kept a copy of Homer's Iliad under his pillow until his death, and introduced Greek and oriental cultural influences throughout his vast empire.

Alexander: The Conqueror follows the progression of his conquests through the Near East and Central Asia to the Indus Valley, and introduces Alexander's family, the personalities of his generals, and the cultures of the lands he conquered. Author Laura Foreman examines the complex character of Alexander as student, friend, lover, military genius, and emperor, and explores the many unsolved mysteries surrounding his life: Who did Alexander turn to in passion and for comfort? Was Alexander a careful, amiable mastermind or a drunken brute? Could Alexander have been responsible for his father's murder?

Gorgeous landscape photography, numerous images of ancient art and artifacts, and informative, beautifully crafted maps complement the narrative, offering a visual feast along with a lively, insightful narrative of Alexander's life of conquest and intrigue.

Customer Reviews:

Greek or Macedonian?.........................2005-11-13

"It is a lovely thing to live with courage,and die leaving an everlasting fame". These are Alexander's words. Whether he was Greek or Macedonian, it does make a difference of course, but it does not change who the man was.The pictures, in this book are gorgeous.Having read so much and still reading about Alexander's life, I strongly feel that Greece and Macedonia were entertwined together,and it shall be so regardless of what we human say about old Macedonia and Greece.After all we are all God's creatures.
The cover of the book by itself is so stunning!!!!!

PROPAGANDA!!!.......2005-10-29

Another pseudo history book claiming Alexander was not Greek..
I have come across many books recently with the sole purpose
of revising ancient greek history..Among the many topics being that non hellenic origin of alexander, and that alexander despised greeks...if so i ask Borza and the rest of the "scholars" why did Alexander idolize Achillies a greek hero.
Why did alexander keep a copy of the Illiad by his bedside which was written by Homer another greek..The one that I find most absurd is that Aristotle is well known to be greek but alexander is not..How can this be when they were both macedonian?
Ok let me try this again here we have Alexander taught by a greek, idolized greek heroes, spread greek culture,
believed in greek gods and all of his family had greek names.
Here is one more---->If macedonians were not greek why were they allowed to compete in the ancient olympic games where only greeks could compete!!!!!!!!!
If you still have any doubts about the lack of quality and truthfulness of this book just look at the 144 people willing to sell it. Starting bid 23 cents!!! I REST MY CASE

ignore it!.......2004-12-29

facts:
1)ancient macedonians worshiped the greek gods.There is no
evidence whatsoever in books written from Fox,Fuller,Green etc
of a "makedonian" god!
2)Alexandros and Philipos are greek names.If so-called "professors" like Gandeto,Borza cannot explain once and for all why they beared greek names then they are real amateurs.
(at least someone provide us with their "makedonian" names...!)
3)Alexander cultivated the greek culture in his entire empire.
This age is called the hellenistic period not the "Makedonian"
period.Why?I think it is obvious.
4)There is no book whatsoever written by a decent historian
in the 19th century claiming that the ancient macedonians where not greek.This whole nonesence whas a conspiracy from Tito to
claim greek teritory.This was aknowledged even from the NATO allies!
5)the so called "MaKedonians" have slavic origins.They
arrived almost 700 years after Alexander's death!!

Macedonian Specialist.......2004-11-23

Eugene Borza is a specialist in ancient Macedonian studies and his latest work is a testimony to that. He is of the majority of scholars who now reject the claims that Macedonians were Greek in light of the ever growing evidence to support the fact that the ancient Macedonian population was a distinct ethnic group in the Balkans.

Great all around book-not too deep and outstanding photos.......2004-09-03

I have been studying/collecting books on Alexander for many years and this one ranks up there as one of my favorites. I was not sure what to expect from this book since there were no customer reviews so I took a chance and got lucky. The book is not too thick and is divided into interesting chapters/topics. Most of the information covered is standard Alexander lore but hidden throughout are tasty nuggets of little known facts about Alexander and his life. Details on military exploits and the battles seems a bit light but I do not think that the author planned to cover these like a military textbook. One can always pick up Green's classic or many other options for these details.
What really makes this book stand out are the photos. This book is PACKED full of gorgeous photographs and illustrations that I have never seen before in any book on Alexander. Due to the current situation in the Middle East few Westerners will ever see the sites of Persia and Afghanistan. This book gives one the chance to catch a glimpse of the lands Alexander added to his kingdom. I have been to Greece a few times and the pictures made me long for another trip to the Agean in the near future. The only negative I can find with the book is the inclusion of a comment/sticker from Oliver Stone. Doing a movie on Alexander does not make one an expert. I am sure this was done because of his upcoming movie on Alexander the Great. Hollywood has already ruined a classic tale with "Troy". Let us hope that Stone's production will not repeat this. Buy this Book!

Book Description

Columcille was born in a remote corner of Ireland in the year 521. Legend has it that as a child, he was fed a cake filled with the letters of the alphabet, and so learned to love writing. He grew up to become a monk and a scribe a thousand years before the invention of printing, when books had to be copied by hand.There was one book, a beautiful volume of psalms from distant Rome, that Columcille especially loved, and even though its owner refused him permission, Columcille secretly copied it. The copy was discovered, and a dispute arose over who it belonged to: Columcille, who made it, or the owner of the original. So better was the argument that a battle was fought between the two men's powerful friends; although Columcille's side won, the victory felt hollow to him. To punish himself, he set out in a tiny boat, vowing to leave Ireland forever.A revered figure in Celtic history, Columcille (also known as Columbia) founded the famous monastery on the Scottish island of Iona and left a legacy of learning that illuminated a corner of the Dark Ages. History, drama, and a love of books and reading fill a story--told here in exquisite watercolors and deflty understated prose by noted author and artist Don Brown.

Customer Reviews:

A PERFECT Back to School Book!.......2007-09-17

This book was read as part of the Catholic Mosaic program with our kids. It happened to be read around the first week of school and the subject of being a scholar and how important books are to EVERYONE was highly appropriate. Definitely a keeper!

Wonder Book on Saint Columba.......2005-10-15

The only thing that I can add to the professional and reader reviews is that St. Columcille is also known as St. Columba. All the other reviews do a great job of describing this book.

Recommended for readers of all ages.......2003-04-20

Deftly written and superbly illustrated by Don Brown, Across A Dark And Wild Sea is the true story of Columcille (also known as Columba), a beloved figure from Celtic history. Columcille loved books so much that he secretly copied a volume of psalms from Rome against it's owner's wishes. The resulting and bitter fallout in 521 A.D. caused Columcille to deliberately leave Ireland in a tiny boat, vowing never to return. He founded a famous monastery on the Scottish island of Iona and left a legacy that endures to this day. Brought to life with moody, windswept color illustrations, Across A Dark And Wild Sea is a most engaging picture book and recommended for readers of all ages.

The Man Who Loved Books............2002-08-17

"Columcille was born in 521. He was the son of a king, from a corner of Ireland scrubbed hard by ocean winds, in a time that came to be known as the dark ages..." So begins Don Brown's marvelous picture book biography of the scribe and monk, known now as Saint Columba. Brown traces the Celtic legend of this remarkable man who desperately wanted to bring learning and books back into the world after much was lost with the fall of the Roman Empire. After a bloody war was waged over the copying and ownership of a special book of psalms, Columcille left Ireland forever and with twelve followers "set sail on a dark and wild sea." Landing on the tiny Scottish island of Iona, he and his followers built a monastery and scriptorium where books were copied and scribes were trained. "Books were made and dispatched, like small boats on a dark and wild sea, to places where reading and writing had been forgotten or ignored. The books made colonies of learning, and people's minds, once dark with ignorance, were brightened." Mr Brown's poetic text is filled with imagery, is rich in history and drama and complemented by powerful and evocative artwork in quiet and subdued tones. Together word and art bring Columcille's inspiring story to life with passion and respect. Perfect for youngsters 8 and older, or as a read aloud for younger children, Across A Dark And Wild Sea includes an Author's Note to enhance and complete the story, the Unical alphabet used by scribes, and a bibliography. This is a rare and wonderful story celebrating books and learning, that shouldn't be missed. "Columcille, the man who loved books, helped the world love books. So we remember him and retell his story."
