Very pretty, but occasionally wrong and incomplete.......2005-01-19

This book is certainly heavy on the eye-candy - it has lots of great pictures (though perhaps dated... very late-80's hair styles) and nice listings describing the colleges and whatnot. If you're looking for something that gives a feel for the look of the place (or at least the look on nice early-summer days when all the students are wearing their gowns), this is a lovely place to look.

Unfortunately, glaring factual errors and odd 'stereotypes' really detracted from the quality of this guide. Included is a brief summary of the Oxford colleges. Unfortunately, many are left out (seemingly at random - the maps also leave out several important sites while including other entirely mundane ones) and the descriptions of others are factually quite incorrect (and sometimes contradictory - All Souls is described as being the only graduate college [it is not a graduate college], then Nuffield is also described as being a graduate college [it is]). There are also odd little tidbits of information that seem to represent a story of the colleges frozen sometime in the past (and not a nifty 1920's past - presumably the late 1980's or early '90's when the first edition was published) - 'excellent darts team?' ok, so they may have once, but that's rather useless information today. My own college's description, though quite pleasant, is not a very good representation of the place today. Some of the college descriptions are also really just mean, representing some undefined antipathy on the part of the author (did someone from that college steal his girlfriend or something?).

Overall, it's a very pretty publication that certainly had a very good team of photographers and graphic designers, but as it's not so strong on the facts and could do with some updates - Oxford isn't as unchanging as it may seem.

Oxford for any traveller.......2001-06-26

This guide is the kind of tour book I love; richly descriptive, and it doesn't hold back on the details. It is filled with pictures and historical exerpts as well as great pub guides and college information. Having spent some time in Oxford I can honestly say that the book was true to the feel of the old town, and was a clear and vivid portrait of the sights and sounds of one of my favorite places in the world!! The practical information in the back caters to the tourist; the college guide caters to future students, the nearly 100-page section at the beginning is perfect for the ameteur historian with it's pages on the monarchy of old and the origins of each custom, building, and college. The founding of the colleges, events, and other features are detailed, and interests of every kind can be researched in this compact text. Maps abound throughout and illustrate different aspects of the college for a walker, driver, or bicyclist with great clarity. I was amazed to realise that I had read the entire book in one sitting. I may never go back to the travel books full of text, because they don't excite the reader for his/her trip, they are hard to get through, and they are downright dull to read.

Insight's City Guides combine stunning photography with literate text and a smattering of basic travel information. The Insight Venice guide is worth adding to your bookshelf, but its practical advice is getting a bit long in the tooth and its heft makes it less than ideal as a take-along guide. - Durant Imboden, Venice for Visitors, http://govenice.miningco.co

Book Description

Balancing new scientific research with his practical horse-training experience, author Andrew McLean debunks long-standing myths about horses and presents a far-reaching, totally humane method of horse training. He starts by recognizing vast differences between equine and human brains and mental processes. He describes the traditional trainer's mistake of judging horses according to the standards of docile or good horse and bad-tempered or mean horse. The horse's brain cannot make abstract judgments about “good” or “bad” behavior, but readily responds to conditioning by trainers who understand the equine brain, the instincts that drive it, and a horse's way of knowing the world. The author emphasizes that by training a horse according to a set of consistent responses that coincide with equine instincts, horse owners can avoid undesirable horse behavior. He offers a training program and amplifies on it with enlightening case studies. Here is must-reading for every current and prospective horse owner and rider. More than 300 color photos.

Disapointing.......2007-05-02

Nothing new here. I was disappointed to say the least after shelling out my bucks for this book I just expected more. Certainly nothing to write home about.

Try this book instead: Equine Behaviour: Principles and Practice

A fine book that lays out an overview of McLeans training.......2006-11-11

For those of us familiar with behavioural training this book has been a long time in coming. So many times you are stuck between the traditional 'leg on, leg on, leg on' (where's the release??) training school or NH which has it's own achilles heal - continually activating the natural flight response and for most practitioners a total lack of understand of what positive reinforcement is.

For those looking for a more extensive explaination of the actual training methods he has written a second book "Horse Training The McLean Way
" however this one is meant to provide an introduction into behavioural training and then an overview of the types of exercises and horse 'problems' that they deal with. The book is well written and should be easily accessible to anyone interested even if they are not science-minded or well versed in behavioural psychology.

For all the dressage riders with horses that buck instead at tempi-changes or rear instead of piaffe - reading this could make you understand that these are your problems not the horse! and save your dressage mount (and your competition career)

This book has no equal.......2006-07-13

I have been a rider/trainer and instructor for the past 30 years. I have ridden with and trained with some of the top trainers in the world. I have read hundreds of books on the training of horses and been to dozens upon dozens of clinics with all of the "horse whisperers". After reading Andrew McLean's incredible book, I immediately went out and bought 10 copies to give to friends and trainers. I will agree with one of the reviewers that the book might be better appreciated by someone with a background in psychology and that Andrew does presume a certain knowledge level from the reader. Apart from that it is one of the most amazing books on training that I have ever come across. I began using many of Andrew's principles on our new green pony as soon as I finished the book and was simply floored by the simplicity and efficacy of the methods. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

Not bad.......2005-08-02

Maybe I expected more of this book. Its good, but it feels like Andrew McLean tried to say too much in too short of time, so he tells you a little bit about a lot but leaves you with questions.

Wonderful.......2004-12-01

A fantastic book that utilizes the authors research into animal behavior and training. His concepts were well explained and improved my understanding of horse training. I would certainly read another book from this author.

Book Description

The Bronze Age state of the Western Zhou represented a ground-breaking period in Chinese culture and civilization. This book addresses the complex relationship between geography and political power within the context of the crisis and fall of that state between 1045SH771 B.C. Drawing on the latest archaeological discoveries, the book shows how inscribed bronze vessels can be used to reveal changes in the political space of the period, and explores literary and geographical evidence to produce a coherent understanding of the Bronze Age past.

Strong thesis.......2007-07-18

This is one of the best books I have read on Chinese history. The writer has a strong thesis to put forward and defends it in an exemplary way with reference to bronze vessel inscriptions, historical writing, geography and common sense. Many things fall into place as one reads and one is left with a fine sense of intellectual satisfaction.

Book Description

The thousands of ritual bronze vessels discovered by China's archaeologists serve as the major documentary source for the Western Zhou dynasty (1045-771 B.C.). These vessels contain long inscriptions full of detail on subjects as diverse as the military history of the period, the bureaucratic structure of the royal court, and lawsuits among the gentry. Moreover, being cast in bronze, the inscriptions preserve exactly the contemporary script and language.
Shaughnessy has written a meticulous and detailed work on the historiography and interpretation of these objects. By demonstrating how the inscriptions are read and interpreted, Shaughnessy makes accessible in English some of the most important evidence about life in ancient China.

Mints: A Family of Herbs and Ornamentals is the first book to survey the entire mint family (Lamiaceae or Labiatae), which includes a surprising variety of plants long valued for their herbal and ornamental uses, from rosemary, sage, and thyme to lavender and peppermint. Most mints are easy to grow, sometimes notoriously so, and highly resistant to pests and diseases, which adds to their garden value. Written in a friendly and accessible style, the book features chapters on history and lore, modern uses, cultivation, and distinctive characteristics and classification; a catalog of species and cultivars in 67 genera; and a glossary.

The mint family is big and diverse and this book covers the whole family. Well researched and concise, it opens with a chapter on the fascinating history and lore, then concludes with a "Catalog of Mints" describing such families as: Sage (Salvias), Mentha (true mint), Monardella such as: Monardella villosa (coyote mint), Oregano, Marjorum and Thyme. Good descriptions including color plates and line drawings. Propagation, growing habits and care, culinary/medicnal attributes are well covered. This book is truly all things Mint!

Mints: A family of Herbs and Ornamentals
Barbara Perry Lawton

I would never have believed that you could write a whole book about mint. But then, I never knew the mint family (Lamiaceae or Labiatae) was such a huge one. It includes 67 genera, of which the commonest are lavender, oregano, nettle, thyme, bugle and rosemary.

Barbara Perry Lawton is a well-known garden writer in the US whose concise, factual style helps her pack a ton of information into each page. Much of her extensive research was done at the Missouri Botanical Garden, which reminded me what a huge asset a good botanical garden is in any community. I also learned that the Missouri Botanical Garden has a world-class collection of early (pre-Linnaean) botanical books. Some of the illustrations in this book are reproduced from drawings made over 400 years ago and they are what helps to make this book unique.

The writer has organized her material well, starting with the history of the mint family and moving on to discuss herbal mints, ornamental mints, weedy mints. After short sections on pests and the botany of mints the writer moves to ?Catalogue of Mints? which takes up about half of the book. This contains useful descriptions of most of the genera and many of the species within them, nicely illustrated with line drawings.

There is a brief glossary, three pages of suggestions for durther reading and an index of plant names.

This is a professionally written and well-researched book, and deserves a place on the book shelf of anyone interested in herbs or botany.

The Author thinks you should know ----.......2006-08-03

I'm Janet Underwood and I wrote this book as a tribute to my mother several years ago. I self-published it online through a third party that was supposed to be printing it on-demand. Several years have passed and I have not received one royalty for any books sold. Yet here are people here who are saying that they have used copies to sell and brand-new copies to sell. Amazon refuses to tell me how many copies of this book they have sold. That's right. I'm the author and I pay a small fee each year to have the file stored at the printer in case someone wants to buy a book, Amazon will allow people to advertise they have used copies of my book to sell, but when I told them I'd never received any royalties off this and asked how many copies they had sold, they refused to tell me and then refused to respond to my emails. Just thought you should know what dirty tricks are being played. I don't think this is a best-seller by any account, but if copies are being sold, I'm entitled to the royalties I was promised. Don't you agree?

Probably not worth your time.......2007-10-01

This book was a fast little read and was mildly enjoyable. I didn't really gain any knowledge or special insight into Washington though. I learned more about Washington from reading Chernow's Hamilton bio. If you know absolutely nothing about Washington, this might be an OK starting point to get a feel for his character, if not much knowledge of his actual life.

A Selective Retelling of the Life of George Washington.......2007-01-03

Richard Brookhiser's "Founding Father" is one of several recent biographies of America's revolutionary generation that seeks too capture what he believes was the essence of George Washington's wisdom and character. Brookhiser offers moral lessons for a new generation of Americans that he believes have not been exposed to these virtues, but could profit by drawing lessons from Washington's life and career. At some level "Founding Father" is a reaction to Brookhiser's repulsion at the current state of history in the nation's universities.

He is reacting, at least in part, to a culture war that has been underway in the United States over the nature of the past, one fundamentally about identity and whether U.S. history would be viewed as a one people, one nation narrative or with a multicultural, in some cases divisive, perspective. That the past might be divisive deeply troubled some national opinion leaders who questioned the reexamination of traditional interpretations, and the more multicultural, relativistic, and conflict-oriented approach to delving into history.

This debate represented a battle for control of the national memory. Would it be one that is unified--one people, one nation--or one that was fragmented and conflict-oriented? This is an important issue and fully worthy of consideration by all in the marketplace of ideas. And the jury is still out.

Some critics of the dominant approach to the past taken by academic historians reacted by providing their own versions of history that emphasized unity and morality. Richard Brookhiser's biography of George Washington is in this category. Brookhiser, a political operative and scholar associated with the National Review, emphasized on the "New Hour with Jim Lehrer on March 28, 1996, that "for all the efforts of, of the historians and the standard biographers, there's still this, this blankness to the man's image. So I thought it would be worthwhile to go back and, you know, not to uncover any new, new facts but to just put the ones that we know into a different light and to focus especially on the highlights of this public career and what it was about, about his character that enabled him to do them. You know, I'm not interested in details, if they don't relate directly to that."

Brookhiser's selective retelling of the story of George Washington in this book is a blatant attempt to draw lessons from Washington's career that serve the larger public good as Brookhiser understands it. It is essentially a late twentieth century version of Mason Weems's "The Life of Washington," but without fabricated tales such as the cherry tree episode included. As a study of Washington's morals and virtues this work is most welcome. Having a point of view is not entirely a bad thing, and Brookhiser offers an eloquent one in this work. At the same time, as a work of history this is a decidedly less useful study of Washington than many others such as James Thomas Flexner's magisterial multivolume biography. Knowing that most people will only read one book on Washington I would recommend a collective biography, Joseph Ellis' "His Excellency: George Washington" (Alfred A. Knopf, 2004), which is a tour de force of historical insight.

Skip this one.......2006-07-07

The purpose of this book, according to the author's introduction, is "a moral biography" rather than "a life history." His point is that there is a "distancing" between ourselves and Washington; that he has become more myth and metaphor than man. The book aims to connect us today with Washington's character and personality.

The author goes into great depth about the literary works (such as Addison's Cato, Bollingbroke and Filmer) that Washington read, but I feel Brookhiser is reading too much into these and provides no evidence of how Washington reacted to these works. The effect is to continue the distancing between us and Washington by not discussing the man himself; just the influences around him.

I think also the author misses some very important points. For example, in the Introduction, the author says "it is not important to Washington's public career...what his stepchildren were like" but then devotes the entire last section of the book to metaphorical fatherhood of the Nation without discussing Washington in the role of an actual parent. I'm sorry, it is important! It tells more about his character than do the books he read.

Another tool the author uses to connect us to Washington is to use modern-day examples. At first I appreciated references to Bill Clinton, Newt Gingrich and Ronald Reagan. However, after about a half-dozen of these it just makes the book seem dated.

This is the first biography of Washington that I have read. I finished the book not knowing much more about him than when I started. I learned more about him reading Joseph Ellis' American Sphinx (about Jefferson) and David McCollough's John Adams. Which is sad; it is clear that Brookhiser had high hopes for this book and gave it a lot of thought. I just thought it missed the mark and didn't serve its own objectives.

Take the title seriously -- the author does.......2006-02-14

Before buying, read the inside flap carefully, depending upon your level of interest this book could be too much for you. The first third of the book is informative history, but then Mr. Brookhiser gets involved in detailed analysis and evaluvation of George Washington. The author really nails him down (for my level of interest there were too many nails)-- yes, the first president does deserve the title "Founding Father". If this was not an important question for you to begin with, this book may not be for you. But you may enjoy reading the first three chapters as I did.

Ok but not for your first Washington biography.......2005-10-30

The author covers a lot of ground in a very limited number of pages. The result is a lack of a general biographical sketch of Washington. I would agree with other reviews that a more comprehensive biography would be a better choice for a first read on Washington.
