very handy .......2007-08-17

I love these little berlitz city maps - they are small enough to fit in my wallet, and have enough detail to suffice even for a city I've never visited before. still, the details are not fine enough to render the tiniest streets on their own, but all larger streets and landmarks ought to be enough help to navigate even the smallest alley. I always buy these little maps when I go to a new city, and I especially like the fact that they are so small.

Book Description

Michael Meeropol argues that the ballooning of the federal budget deficit was not a serious problem in the 1980s, nor were the successful recent efforts to get it under control the basis for the prosperous economy of the mid-1990s. In this controversial book, the author provides a close look at what actually happened to the American economy during the years of the "Reagan Revolution" and reveals that the huge deficits had no negative effect on the economy. It was the other policies of the Reagan years--high interest rates to fight inflation, supply-side tax cuts, reductions in regulation, increased advantages for investors and the wealthy, the unraveling of the safety net for the poor--that were unsuccessful in generating more rapid growth and other economic improvements.

Meeropol provides compelling evidence of the failure of the U.S. economy between 1990 and 1994 to generate rising incomes for most of the population or improvements in productivity. This caused, first, the electoral repudiation of President Bush in 1992, followed by a repudiation of President Clinton in the 1994 Congressional elections. The Clinton administration made a half-hearted attempt to reverse the Reagan Revolution in economic policy, but ultimately surrendered to the Republican Congressional majority in 1996 when Clinton promised to balance the budget by 2000 and signed the welfare reform bill. The rapid growth of the economy in 1997 caused surprisingly high government revenues, a dramatic fall in the federal budget deficit, and a brief euphoria evident in an almost uncontrollable stock market boom. Finally, Meeropol argues powerfully that the next recession, certain to come before the end of 1999, will turn the predicted path to budget balance and millennial prosperity into a painful joke on the hubris of public policymakers.

Accessibly written as a work of recent history and public policy as much as economics, this book is intended for all Americans interested in issues of economic policy, especially the budget deficit and the Clinton versus Congress debates. No specialized training in economics is needed.

"A wonderfully accessible discussion of contemporary American economic policy. Meeropol demonstrates that the Reagan-era policies of tax cuts and shredded safety nets, coupled with strident talk of balanced budgets, have been continued and even brought to fruition by the neo-liberal Clinton regime." --Frances Fox Piven, Graduate School, City University of New York

Michael Meeropol is Chair and Professor of Economics, Western New England College.

An important historical analysis of our political economy........1998-10-12

A well reasoned and factually based crtique of the historical record of Ronald Reagan, George Bush and William Jefferson Clinton. All three have served the interests of the wealthy and not the working people of the United States. Our economy is in danger because the wealthy do not wish to work and the working people are not in good wealth or health. A dose of democracy might do our system some good. A tax increase on the upper class would be a small step forward. This book needs to be read and we should heed its lessons.

Mating, Birth, Rearing.......2007-05-10

As I only read the original German version, this is actually a comment on the original. I found it EXCELLENT, and I was happy to notice that it has now been translated into English. Assuming that the translation is good, I'd buy this book right now. The author, Mr. Fleig, is brilliant. However, one word of caution: the title of this book gave me the impression that it perhaps included information about how to choose dogs for mating, how to produce "better" dogs through genetics, etc. In my mind, that is a part of breeding. However, as the author, himself, states in his original version, if one is expecting information other than about mating, birth and rearing, he will need to look elsewhere (page 11 of the 5. Auflage 2004). Interestingly, the English edition seems to be missing about one half of the original (which is over 300 pages). This missing information apparently consists of epilogs in 1992, 1998 and 2001. Although, unfortunately, these "additions" don't seem to be included in the English version, the "meat" appears to be there. What did I like about the book? It is written clearly and professionally by someone who knows what they're talking about. It's not "dry." He talks from personal experience, and although his book is technical, it has a personal feel to it. You learn from it. His drawings and photographs are excellent. In fact, the well known dog scientist, Mr. E. Trumler, contributed a number of beautiful sketches rarely seen in books. If you want data, he's got graphs and tables. If you want to build a whelping box, he not only gives you the design and dimensions, but explains the purpose of the design in detail. He explains how to test the puppies, and includes, for example, the biotonus test from Eberhard Trumler, including photos. His information is relevant and well explained. Assuming none of this has been changed from the original, my advice is to buy this book. You can't go wrong, and it may just be the best book you can buy on this subject concerning dog mating, birth and rearing. For a comparison, "Breeding a Litter" by Beth J. Finder Harris, although a good book, doesn't come close to matching this book. Happy breeding.

Exellent book.......2003-03-15

This is a very well written and very easy to understand book on how to breed dogs recomend it to anyone who is thinking about breeding

Not so delighted with the book.......2001-07-04

My main problem with this book was that the author suggested breeding a male at 9 months. That is too early, with the number of genetic diseases in the various breeds, it is way too young to breed.

The nutrition information was good. Perhaps with all the new information available since this book was written, the author would change some of his advice. I sure hope so!

love it!.......2000-07-31

i have been searching for a book that would explain in detail about genetics, rearing puppies, buying a breeding dog, etc. well, this is the one! it has answered many of my questions, particularly on nutrition during a dog's pregnancy. deiter fleig, the author, has done a wonderful job. i would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in breeding top quality dogs!

This addition to the Taylor bookshelf on gardening gives the gardener a most delicious opportunity to simply browse. Starting with Achillea and ending with Yucca, author Barbara Ellis, former garden editor for Rodale Press and author or editor of such gardening books as Rodale's All-New Encyclopedia of Organic Gardening and the Burpee Complete Gardener, slathers on with a garden trowel the enthusiasm and the detailed information that lead to success in any garden.

"I don't have just one list of favorite plants," Ellis writes. "They not only change from season to season and site to site, they also vary as I evaluate different attributes such as flowers, fragrance, foliage, or fruit." Or even sentimentality. "Each spring peonies that once grew in my great-great-aunt Hattie's garden in Columbus, Ohio flower in my own. Growing plants that remind us of where we came from, or of people who are important to us, adds a whole new layer of meaning to a garden."

But what if you have forgotten the name of some of those old friends? Or what if there are old garden friends out there you have simply forgotten existed? Just let the beautifully illustrated pages flip by one by one. And when the right plant catches your eye, Ellis provides you with the gist of what you need to know: the description through the seasons, how to select a plant, what the best site and soil are, how to plant, how to care for each plant through the seasons, and suggestions for uses in the landscape. You will know right off if your garden and this plant are a match.

Mixed in with the single-species entries (and if you get your species and genera mixed up, Ellis sorts all that out, too) are broad but detailed entries such as Annuals and Biennials, Bulbs, Ferns, Herbs, Ornamental Grasses, Perennials, Shrubs, Vines, and Wildflowers. The index is by both common and Latin name, and the book closes with a techniques glossary. --Schuyler Ingle

Book Description

A book that answers every question, from "Where do I get it?" to "How do I plant it?" "Do I fertilize it then, or when?" "With what?" "Should I cut it back after it flowers?" "Or in the fall (or not at all)?" "Can I divide it?" "How, and when?" With more than four hundred full-color photographs, this beautiful, fact-filled reference answers every question about growing the classic garden plants - from foolproof host as to tricky delphiniums, from roses to flowering dogwoods. A mini-encyclopedia for each entry lists the best varieties to buy for the reader's own garden. Plus: a complete guide to year-round care, including watering, mulching, fertilizing, deadheading, dividing, pruning, and more; an illustrated techniques glossary that gives step-by-step instructions on how to perform garden tasks; suggestions on how to use the plants in the home landscape; directions on how to increase your stock of plants by propagating them yourself.

More than just a guide, a resource for every gardener........2004-07-06

Despite the books' massively long title, it's actually an easy-to-read, well organized reference guide to plant selection, propagation, care and maintenance, as well listing of hundreds of plants. Like many Taylor's guides, this one is profusely illustrated with lovely photographs of plants that will not only inform, but inspire you to get gardening. Almost 350 pages in length, there's not a lot of filler in here, rather, it's packed with lists, glossaries, appendices that will answer most questions any beginning and most intermediate gardeners might have in regards to perennials, annuals, shrubs, flowering trees and vines. If you want to landscape your garden and not sure of what plants to work with, you may want to start here!

My very favorite gardening book.......2000-04-08

I have many good gardening books but this is the one I refer to constantly and suggest to my friends. Arranged alphabetically, the mini-chapter on each plant contains all the information I need to make decisions on purchasing, choosing a site, planting, growing tips, and propagating. The final section in each chapter suggests companion plants that mix well and like the same conditions. To top it off, this is a beautiful book with excellent photographs of the entire plant in its natural surrounding. GET THIS BOOK.

Easy -to-use, outstanding home reference.......1998-12-15

This is the best guide to home gardening I have seen, combining ease of use with authoritative information. The brief notes are to the point, the photographs are excellent, information is easy to find, and the full entries are exceptionally well done. A pleasure to read, this work will surely become the standard reference on home gardening.

Book Description

This book is a study of the ways in which Galen sought to establish the brain as the regent part (hegemonikon) of the body, utilising a rigorous anatomical epistemology and an often sophisticated (but perforce limited) set of physiological arguments Part One surveys the medical and philosophical past in which the study of the brain occured, and looks at the materials and methods which Galen employs to legitimate his hegemonic argumentation. Part Two examines Galen's anatomical understanding of the brain, especially the ventricles. Part Three offers a critical evaluation of Galen's physiolgy of the brain. This is the first monograph to offer a detailed account of this subject, setting it within the cultural and intellectual contexts of its era, and will be of interest to those in classics, medical history, history andphilosophy of science and the history of ideas.

Bean Fest - Bean There, Done That.......2006-12-13

There isn't any really deep analysis of Sean Bean as a person. Next to nothing about his childhood is in the book, nor any photos of him as a kid. The author had no access to his relatives, and only interviewed a teacher of his from primary school and his drama teacher from Sheffield.

Primarily this is a good book for his devoted fans who want a good chronological account of his acting work and very superficial details about his life. The author was not granted an interivew with Sean Bean,nor any of his relatives or very close friends. It's not an official biography. Jackson interviewed people who worked with Bean, and slight acquaintances, but none of his close friends gave her quotes. Bean is well known for being absolutely silent about his personal life which he assiduously guards.....and that's part of his charisma. What Bean holds back is what makes him so fascinating. He gives 1,000% in performances, and really that is ALL he owes the public.

The photo section is very skimpy, you can get much better pictures of Bean online at various fan sites such as "The Compleat Bean". Reading this book made me convinced the author simply sat down and read every article, website and watched taped interviews of the star to compile her book because she was denied interviews with those people closest to her subject. Because she doesn't have the astuteness to extrapolate all those sources and create a psychological profile - you finish reading the book wondering....great actor - but what is he REALLY like?

Nearly every single interview of people who worked with Bean all say the same thing, namely that he is shy, soft spoken, has genuine humility, extremely polite, good hearted, a little awkward with people he doesn't know well, really a sweetheart of a guy, loves beer, football, smoking and he doesn't emotionally bond well with women....it's his male friends he's closest to....an adoring father who was forced to be separated from his wives and three adorable daughters for long periods of time while filming movies. Hence, his three divorces.

He's had a terrible personal price to pay for his success as an actor, yet the author doesn't even write about this which is a major factor in his life. I didn't want her to slink to the level of tabloid gossip and "dish dirt" I just wanted some semblance of an anyalsyis of the man as a person. The book reads more like a resume of his work......without much "meat" about him as a person to fill in the blanks.

Well, you can get that same information from just going online and reading media/magazine/newspaper archives at "The Compleat Bean" and save yourself the cost of the book. For goodnss sake, don't pay $80.00 for it! It's also posted as selling for over $200.00!

The back of the book has an excellent very detailed index and an accurate precise listing of all his films, narration work, television and theatre performances. I've been a great admirer of his work for 20 years, dating back to 1986 when I first saw him perform as an unknown in the film "Caravaggio". Although I know nearly everything ever written about him, reading this book actually did fill in some bits and pieces of information about him. No earth shattering revelations - but a nice, easy read.

A very kind British friend gave me this book as a gift because I had such a hard time locating it online in the USA and didn't want to pay a fortune for it. It's out of print and very hard to find. I've seen it sell in the USA for $40.00 to $80.00 and consider myself a very lucky lass to receive it free. Depending on if you are bonkers for Bean-o would determine how much you're willing to pay for the book.

The author doesn't really dig too deep and only has flattering postive things to say about the star, she comes fairly close to crossing the line into a pure "gush-fest". The book makes you believe he is just nearly perfect. He's only human and everyone has positive and negative aspects to their nature. I wish this book had more substance and gave me a more authentic portrait of him.

On the other hand, "Sharpe Cut - The Making of Sharpe's Challenge" published in 2006, by Linda Blandford skewers Bean to bits. That author doesn't like him one little bit, she makes this quite clear to the reader. Blandford nitpicks about trivial things she views as huge character flaws of Bean's and spends most of the book "Bean Bashing" then 3/4 through the book admits he's won her over, sheerly on the professionalism and devotion to his craft he exhibits on the set. Known for his introverted reticence and ability to completely avoid answering personal questions he doesn't want to reveal about himself.....Bean more or less didn't trust Linda Blandford because she had written a previous article him that was quite cruel, negative and hurt his feelings deeply. Yet, his tremendous charm and personal warmth eventually wins Blandford over and she almost begrudgingly admits she likes him at the close of the book.

I wish that a really skilled writer would create a book somewhere in the middle between these two books about Sean Bean. Not a "gushfest" nor a hatchet job......but a work that would give the public a genuine understanding of what makes him tick and his interior dialogue.....he's almost Garboesque in his need for absolute privacy about his personal life, which is what makes Sean Bean so refreshing - unlike some of the publicity hounds that are celebrity actors - he comes across as a pretty normal bloke, who just happens to be a world class actor. He's got no interest in "making the scene" or having a flashy, glitzy high profile life....this is not an actor pursuing the "Bling Bling" lifesytle. He enjoys being an internationally known star and the perks that come with it, but seems to have a good head on his shoulders and keeps things in perspective. Probably this accounts for how Bean's been able to maintain a solid career as a working actor in a very ruthless, competitive industry for well over 25 years.

Blandford book and Jackson's book are both flawed - but both are a good read for true Bean Buffs. "Sharpe Cut" has more facts about filmaking/television industry which give you a really strong background and she really makes a point of criticizing Bean - Jackson's book is more a chronological citation of the work of the star - with very little personal insight into his personality. Read both books and come to your own conclusions.

Best thing about this book.......well it would have to be Sean Bean's wicked sexy smile on the cover in the sepia tinted photograph. I've been dying to find a copy of that photo that doesn't chop off part of his face....anybody know where to find it online? I've been searching for ages to get a full version of the book cover photograph! This guy has definitely got sex appeal galore........I call him "Lord Sexitude" and he can knock on my box any day of the week.......the only middle-aged guy with lots of wrinkles I am bonkers about!

not for sale.......2003-08-29

I read this book because I ordered it from an inter library loan. It is not for sale through Amazon much to my disappointment. The book is a good overview of Mr.Bean's work in films. It does not offer anything else.

Interesting read but..........2002-04-23

Laura Jackson does get some of the details wrong, like stating that Sean Bean divorced his first wife after moving to London to attend at RADA. In reality, they split before. However, she provides an overall well-rounded portrait of the actor, which makes for an interesting if rather quick read. There are several pages of colour photos as well, an added point of interest, and fascinating details about several of Sean Bean's projects. How many people know that several of the cast of Sharpe got very ill from the Ukraine catering?

If you're looking for a book to fill in the gaps on your knowledge of this actor, or just something to while away a lazy summer afternoon, this one will do quite nicely. And the cover alone is gorgeous - surely Sean Bean should get an award for Best Smile of the Year?

Great title no content.......2002-03-13

I have been a fan of Sean Bean for some time - from the first time I saw the Sharpe series through the Robert Lovelace/Clarissa role and the odd villainous appearances. I don't generally read biographies of actors but thought since he'd portrayed such an interesting variety of characters that there would be an interesting person behind them. However, I wouldn't know if there was or not. He seems to have led an interesting life but there really isn't a shred of the man himself in this book.

Maybe it's too much to expect - I wasn't looking for dirt but I was certainly looking for substance and found nothing. "Everyone likes him, he's a man's man, he's a great actor". The book leads you to believe that he had about as much depth as a cereal bowl and I tend to think that there's more to this actor than that. I found it very vacuous.

Great for Fans who are new to the world of Sean Bean.......2002-02-02

As I am a relatively new devotee to the works of Sean Bean (FOTR), I found this a wonderful guide to his past roles. Although it does not delve very deeply into Sean as a person, it is a very useful travel guide to the World Of Bean. Also very nice to know that there are some actors who like "real" women & not skeletons!

Wonderful History.......2002-05-23

What a wonderful memoir.
Stanley Matthews was one of the greatest footballers ever, and in this book tells his story with humour, but without the bravado of our era.
He gives us lovely images of the players of his time, and the games they played.
Makes one wish that one could go back in time.
