Book Description

In this extraordinarily well researched and insightful biography, Marc Aronson explores the amazing accomplishments and dismal failures of one of the most flamboyant figures of the Elizabethan age. Best remembered for laying his coat in a muddy puddle so that Queen Elizabeth I could walk across it, Sir Walter Ralegh committed himself to pleasing his monarch and obtaining power in her court. He heroically risked his life in battle time and again, chasing after glory to win her favor. His notoriously ill-fated quest for the mythological golden city of El Dorado was perhaps his grandest attempt, but it also was his undoing, and Ralegh ultimately paid for his mistakes with his life. Despite his shortcomings, he was not only charismatic and brave, he was brilliant as well, and his contributions to the New World and to western culture as a whole were vast and enduring.

not too bad..........2007-06-07

did not realize when i bought this book that is basically for children, probably up to the age of 12 or so. for this grade level, it was fine. but this is certainly not a book for adults. it's too simple.

an excellent introduction to the ugly but fascinating world of politics.......2007-05-18

This book reads like an entertaining adventure novel but it is so much more. The court intrigues of Elizabethan England and not so different from the politics of today, both in government and corporations. The author has made a lifelong study of Sir Walter Ralegh and his passion shows. Ralegh's strengths, weaknesses and luck, both good and bad made him who he was and changed the world.The Mechanical Age: The Industrial Revolution in England (World History Library)Colonial Living.

Outstanding look at a fascinating individual.......2000-06-05

Sir Walter Ralegh (the way he spelled it) was so much more than a promoter of tobacco--although he certainly did promote tobacco. He was so much more than a man who lay down his cloak so Queen Elizabeth I would not get her feet wet--a story which may or may not be true. He was a man from a poor background who rose almost as high as one could in Elizabethan England--and then fell about as low. Stunningly researched, brilliantly written, full of fascinating facts (did you know there were no maps of England that showed ROADS until the 1590s), this is young adult writing at its finest.

Book Description

Young, beautiful, and connected by blood to the most powerful families in England, Bess Throckmorton had as much influence over Queen Elizabeth I as any woman in the realm—but she risked everything to marry the most charismatic man of the day. The secret marriage between Bess and the Queen’s beloved Sir Walter Ralegh cost both of them their fortunes, their freedom, and very nearly their lives. Yet it was Bess, resilient, passionate, and politically shrewd, who would live to restore their name and reclaim her political influence. In this dazzling biography, Bess Ralegh finally emerges from her husband’s shadow to stand as a complex, commanding figure in her own right.

Writing with grace and drama, Anna Beer brings Bess to life as a woman, a wife and mother, an intimate friend of poets and courtiers, and a skilled political infighter in Europe’s most powerful and most dangerous court. The only daughter of an ambitious aristocratic family, Bess was thrust at a tender age into the very epicenter of royal power when her parents secured her the position of Elizabeth’s Gentlewoman of the Privy Chamber. Bess proved to be a natural player on this stage of extravagant mythmaking and covert sexual politics, until she fell in love with the Queen’s Captain of the Guard, the handsome, virile, meteorically rising Ralegh. But their secret marriage, swiftly followed by the birth of their son, would have grave consequences for both of them.

Brooking the Queen’s wrath and her husband’s refusal to acknowledge their marriage, Bess brilliantly stage-managed her social and political rehabilitation and emerged from prison as the leader of a brilliant, fast-living aristocratic set. She survived personal tragedy, the ruinous global voyages launched by her husband, and the vicious plots of high-placed enemies. Though Raleigh in the end fell afoul of court intrigue, Bess lived on into the reign of James I as a woman of hard-won wisdom and formidable power.

With compelling historical insight, Anna Beer recreates here the vibrant pageant of Elizabethan England—the brilliant wit and vicious betrayals, the new discoveries and old rivalries, the violence and fierce sexuality of life at court. Peopled by poets and princes, spanning the reigns of two monarchs, moving between the palaces of London and the manor house outside the capital, My Just Desire is the portrait of a remarkable woman who lived at the center of an extraordinary time.

Book Description

Colorful and exciting, Sir Walter Ralegh became a favorite of Queen Elizabeth. This world-famous explorer conceived and organized the colonizing expeditions to America; introduced potatoes and tobacco to England, and ended up in the Tower, following his secret wedding to Bess Throckmorton where he was executed. Along with his more well-known exploits, this insightful study--the first based on an accurate chronology of Ralegh's own writings--offers startling disclosures about his other love affairs, an illegitimate child, and a failed suicide attempt.

Founding Father.......2002-03-21

Like his later compatriate Sir Winston Churchill, Sir Walter Ralegh is one of those historical figures about whom virtually everyone knows something. From the old yarn about cloaks and puddles (though this actually happened), to his sponsorship of the tobacco industry (this happened too), to his tragic expedition to the Orinoco, Ralegh lore is a recurring theme in school history classes on both sides of the Atlantic. Lacey's great achievement is to blend these facets of his life seamlessly with the other, less familiar, episodes. One of the most interesting revelations is that for all the early and mid-life glories of his Elizabethan years - the poetry, the daring exploits and bon mots - his "finest hour" was in adversity, when (under sentence of death in the Tower) he wrote his brilliant multi-volume "History of the World." This is one of those rare biographies (Carlo D'Este's "Patton" comes to mind as another) where the reader is completely absorbed into the subject's mind and world.

Amazing.......2001-10-11

I had always loved Ralegh's poetry, I fell enamored of the fictional account of his life entitled "Death of a Fox" by George Garrett some 30 odd years ago, but had never really comprehended the sweep of Ralegh's life. In his own way, according to Lacey, Ralegh's household became almost the equivalent of our Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Draper Labs, or even NASA. The story about the cloak and Elizabeth is true, but the depth of his love for his wife was new to me.

Fascinating, well-written book. Truly fascinating man.

A brilliant summary of the archetypal renaissance man........1999-08-15

To write a biography of a man with as much vitality and variety as Ralegh would seem at first sight a daunting task for any author: however well the tale is told, it will pale beside the real life exploits of this, the most remarkable of Englishmen.

The success of Robert Lacey's account is largely due to the way he reflects the multifaceted nature of his subject in the book's structure. There are some 50 chapters, divided into seven sections, each charting the ups and downs of Ralegh's uniquely chequered career. From country upstart to royal favourite, from privateer to traitor in the Tower, his life was never still - a continuum of change within a world that was constantly reassessing itself.

It is above all an account of a man who was almost uniquely human: capable of immense bravery and ingenuity, creativity and arrogance, one moment acquitting himself with a rare brilliance, the next with sublime recklessness. Ralegh was the epitome of man, warts and all, and a man who struggled daily to achieve ends that were destined to lie forever beyond him, whether they were glories of the gold of El Dorado or the love of his virgin Queen.

Far from being a trip down the honeysuckled lane of nostalgia, this is a book that is uniquely relevant to the present day. Many readers will be aware of the legends of Ralegh's bejewelled cloak, or acquainted with verses of his gilded poetry; many more will be surprised to learn that he was the founding father of the British colony, and that his experiments in Munster, Virginia and Guyana led directly to the vast empire that was only a couple of centuries later to cover one third of the globe. Yet he was in his explorations and expeditions a great philanthropist, and his treatment of the local inhabitants in the Americas was to earn him a respect that lasted many generations, as opposed to the legacy of mistrust and hatred that the Spanish pioneers engendered.

Ralegh was a man whose talents and faults, when fuelled by his rare energy, shone like beacons. He lived the kind of life that most of us only dream of, and few can live up to. Lacey's greatest achievement is never to lapse into the kind of starry-eyed hero-worshipping that often accompanies biographies of remarkable men. It is a profoundly moving book, particularly in its final chapters, when the voice of Ralegh in his final speech before his execution is allowed to resonate down the years with few embellishments and, as such, is all the more powerful. The book is a testament to the unique powers of one man: the man, to the powers that lie within us all.

A picture book for gerbil lovers.......2001-01-16

With a title like The Professional's Book of Gerbils, I expected a dense tome for the scientific minded, above-average reader, seeking information beyond the "Your First Pet" variety. Thus, the light-hearted, picture book quality of The Professional's Book of Gerbils took me by surprise. While it didn't deliver much new information, the book's striking photography and the author's genuine appreciation for gerbils' unique and endearing personalities makes it a worthwhile read (or look, as the case may be).

The multitude of clear, sharp, colorful photos is this book's strongest selling point. Those featuring gerbils interacting with people serve to highlight the animals' friendly, gentle natures, while others capture these inquisitive creatures enjoying a range of interesting habitats and toys. However, certain photographs depicting inappropriate housing or handling deserve cautionary captions which, unfortunately, are absent.

As a long-time gerbil owner, I know how important it is to provide adequate wood and cardboard items for gerbils to nest in, climb on, and to chew. Thus, I was disturbed when several photographs featured gerbils in enclosures with nothing but a layer of bedding. Another showed an obviously too small plastic cage (another no-no) housing two adult gerbils, while several other photos depicted gerbils housed on cedar chips, which are known to cause respiratory problems and liver disorders in some animals. In the handling section, the book did stress that gerbils' delicate tails should never be grasped at the tip, but only at the base if necessary. However, at least one photo showed a gerbil being handled in an inappropriate manner.

The book provides a fair amount of gerbil history, selection, husbandry, and breeding information, but what I liked best was the author's informal and lively commentary. His descriptions of gerbils and interpretations of their behavior, though somewhat anthropomorphic at times, reveal great compassion and fascination. As an animal shelter worker who witnesses the tragedy of pet overpopulation on a daily basis, I would have appreciated more comment from the author on responsible pet ownership and greater emphasis on the consequences of overbreeding. Other books, such as Gerbils: A Complete Pet Owner's Manual, by Raymond Gudas cover this topic more thoroughly.

I would recommend The Professional's Book of Gerbils to experienced gerbil-lovers who will marvel at the striking photography and hopefully overlook the book's few shortcomings. Aside from its rather misleading title, The Professional's Book of Gerbils is nevertheless a delightful visual foray into the world of these captivating creatures.

Book Description

This biography tells the story of the woman behind the actress and describes how the Guelph native went from being one of the National Ballet School of Canada's best young ballerinas to one of Hollywood's most popular stars. Neve Campbell recounts in detail-through interviews with her associates and Neve's own words-the circumstances that drove her to abruptly quit dance and turn her energies to acting. It goes on to explore the fierce ambition that drove her forward along each step of her near-meteoric rise, from her breakthrough part in the Canadian series Catwalk, to the move to Hollywood where she became part of the cast of the hit TV series Party of Five, and beyond to her roles in films such as The Craft, Scream, and Wild Things. Equal attention is paid to Campbell's private life, including her self-professed insecurities, her difficulty adjusting to fame, and her short-lived marriage to Canadian actor Jeff Colt, a relationship that was certainly a victim of Neve's success. But as Kathleen Tracy discovers, behind all these apparent weaknesses lies a steely will; says her ex-husband, "Neve's able to do everything, so she wants to do it all."

The wonderful Neve.......2006-07-06

This was a good book. I would say about 80 percent of the book talks about her rise in television; from simple commercials to Party of Five to the various movies she was in, up to Scream 3. The rest explains a little about her, her family, and things she has done when she was growing up. There were a few things I read about her that I would have never guessed. Overall, this book is very informative and if you read it front to back, you will learn a lot about her and understand who she really is.

Great pics of beautiful Neve,OK biography.......2000-09-20

I bought this book because I've been a fan of Neve since seeing her in Wild Things. I've only skimmed through the book,I haven't read it cover to cover.The pics are fantastic.Definitely the best part of the book.Overall,it's OK.No Booker Prize winner but I still like it better than "Great Expectations"

This is the first book on the dynamic star of Party of Five, the Scream trilogy, The Craft, , 54, and Wild Things. It provides insights into Neve's family life, her formative years in Canada, her nervous collapse at fourteen, her breakup with husband Jeffrey Colt, and her many amorous adventures with some of Hollywood's hottest leading men. Plus, readers will learn previously undisclosed details about the making of Scream, Scream 2, and Scream 3, and what really goes on behind the scenes of Party of Five.

"Must" reading for all Neve Campbell fans!.......2000-03-04

Fans of the TV show Party of Five, the movie I Know What You Did Last Summer and others will find this a fine biographical sketch of the actress: the first book to explore her life. From her professional acting appearances to her breakup with her husband and her love affairs with notables, this is revealing and absorbing.

GREAT BOOK.......2000-01-30

Finally a book about what I consider the best of the crop of young actresses to arrive in the past few years. The book only confirms what I've felt about Neve, that she truly is a good down to earth person. This book gives great insight into her casting on Party of Five and all the behind the scenes information on the Scream films.

Give this book a try. A must for all Neve and Party of Five fans.

I have loved Neve Campbell ever since PO5. She is definitely one of my favorite actresses of all time. This book was really interesting. It showed me a side of Neve I had never known. I hope she continues to make great films because she is talented, beautiful, and deserves recognition.

GREAT QUALITY READING.......1999-12-27

It's amazing how much we don't know about the lifes of our favorite stars. You just assume they pop up overnight, but what actually goes in making of the star like Neve Campbell few people know. The hard work, dedication and ability to take risk is absolutely unparallel, I recommend this book to everyone who thinks, that becoming an actress is just luck and good fortune. I think it's the only book on Neve and what a great one to have. By the way the pictures are very good.

The life & music of Sinead. (& a load of other people).......2002-07-07

This is a truley awful book. Jimmy Guterman is a great reviewer when he's written for 100's of magazines in the past, but Im afraid he's NOT a very good author. He keeps diverting from the tracks, and not just by a little few yards. Im talking miles. Pages and pages where Sinead isnt mentioned at all. When he mentions someone who Sinead worked with or even just met one day, he goes on and on for the next 4 pages about THEIR work and this leads in turn to people that THEY worked with!!! He also finds it very hard to belive that there are those of us who PREFER 'The Lion & the Cobra' to 'I Do Not Want What I Havent Got'. Just to praise the 2nd album, he spends half the book slagging the debut album off! Its an annoying read, and I only made it from one cover to the other because its about Sinead . . . . .well SOME of its about Sinead.

Not the best book on Sinead O'Connor.......2002-05-31

The author's note says it all: "I do not know what grade Sinead O'Connor got in math class when she was eleven years old; I do not care whether she breast-fed her son. These sorts of intrusive factoids, masquerading as revelations, that add up to biographies of pop stars are in fact none of our business." In other words, Jimmy Gutterman didn't get an interview with Sinead O'Connor for this book, and he didn't even get an interview with anyone who knows Sinead well for this book. What he did do was rely heavily on previously published interviews with Sinead. Nothing in this book will surprise any fan. I would give it 2 stars, but there are some lovely photos. The one of Sinead in her kiss-o-gram girl uniform is my favorite. Hence the 3 star rating. If you are going to bother searching for out-of-print books on Sinead, there is a better book to look for. I highly recommend finding "Sinead O'Connor: So Different" by Dermott Hayes. Now that is an excellent book on Sinead, one a true fan will enjoy.
