A Simple Plant Guide for Beginners and Maintenance Technicians

Book Description

In the summer of 1999, Erasmus Kloman and his family chartered a barge and piloted it along the lovely Burgundy and Nivernais canals in France. In "Barging in Burgundy" Mr. Kloman combines a narrative travelogue with practical how-to-do-it instructions. He tells readers what they need to know about taking a barge trip -- including how to determine which barge company to procure, what supplies to bring on board, and how to maneuver the locks encountered on the trip. At the same time, he lyrically describes the romance of travel in Burgundy, its remarkable history, breathtaking architecture, its wines and hearty cuisines. Also included are a list of sites worth a visit, restaurants, emergency numbers, and recipes from the region. This is a wonderful resource guide for adventurous travelers contemplating a barge trip or readers who just want to vicariously experience the beauty and tranquility of a barge trip through the French countryside.

Not Really A Travel Book........2003-08-30

I guess I should've read the other review more closely...
I was expecting a book that talked a lot about barging, with a little bit about history and food/wine. Instead, I got page after page of history and recipes and wine, and barely a mention of either the practicalities (how to rent a barge, navigate a lock, travel through France if you don't speak much French...) or realities (what life is like spending a week on a small boat with 6 other people!) of a barge trip.

The emphasis was most definitely on the 'wining and dining' part of the title, NOT the 'bare boat barging' part.
This one is going back.

Bare Barging in Burgundy:Boating, Exploring, Wining & Dining.......2001-05-02

I bought this book because I have been day dreaming about taking a barging vacation. I would recommend this book for anyone considering renting a barge in France, but has no knowledge of the subject. The book is a great starting point, touching on the basics of barging, without going into too much detail. The reader will get a general idea of what barging is like from the author's one chapter description of his weeklong journey. Although the book is small (a little over 100 pages), it "touches" on the history, places of interest, and the food and wine of Burgundy. It is a great little travel book that really gives you the feeling of France. If the author succeeded in "whetting your appetite" for more information on France (no pun, intended) he does provide a lot of references for further reading.

Book Description

When Lynda Lustig met Louie Milito, she was a sixteen-year-old high-school dropout with a taste for adventure and an agonizing childhood. When they were married two years later, he was not yet a "made man" in the powerful Gambino crime family. Louie was a hairdresser who dabbled in petty thievery. But Lynda was so happy to be out of her domineering mother's loveless house. And over the years, she was willing to forgive her husband for anything: his violent rages, his frequent absences, his shady associates, and the blood on his hands. For twenty-four years Lynda Milito remained loyal to this charming and dangerous criminal -- her children's father and close friend of crime boss John Gotti and underboss Sammy "the Bull" Gravano. But in 1988, Louie Milito disappeared, murdered by the very people he had always trusted to protect him.

A crime story, a family story, a love story, Mafia Wife is the shockingly intimate, brutally honest tale of a survivor -- and of the life she lived in the dark bosom of the underworld.

Not great but not as bad as people say..........2007-08-26

I was fresh off of reading "Westies" and was wishing that they had given more detail about Sissy Featherstone and Edna Coonan and their lives and ordeals with there husbands when I found this at the local bookshop. I flipped though it, thought it intresting and picked it up. I think the thing you have to understand is that when dealing with 85% of people in the mafia or associated in some way with the mafia. They aren't well educated. Or else they wouldn't have had to start doing petty crimes to get somewhere. They would have went to Law School or taken more traditional paths.

At the beginning of this book, I do see where alot of people call Lynda 'whinny', but she was telling why she turned out the way she did and why she put up with Louie even though he abused her. But as you go into the book, I feel it does get more intresting and I didn't want to put it down. And for not being as well educated as most expect, Lynda did really well for herself. It's a true story, and sometimes the people with the most intresting stories are the one's that didn't finish 8th grade. I think people need to remember that.

5 stars for Lynda not so much the book.

Oh Hell NO!.......2006-10-01

I have never written a review on a book in my life, but this one so enraged me, I sought out a place to state my view.

I won't expound on the whining, as others have covered that quite accurately. But what really burned my biscuits about Lynda is her feigned ignorance of how her husband earned his money. She had at least two independent confirmations from friends that her husband had become a made man in the mob. She even admitted to seeing a bandaid on his cut finger, which corroborated their story. Her response? They must be crazy. Is she color blind? The big, waving red flags were near impossible to ignore, but she somehow claims to have done it. She sees her husband brutally attack a man in their yard, in front of her children, yet has the gall to proclaim him a good and loving parent. She should have had her children taken away fron her for not protecting them from such a lunatic criminal. To make her statements even more outrageous, she knowingly participated in some of his illegal money making schemes. In fact, her 'honeymoon' was financed by stealing from the telephone company! Hey, there's a clue.

For all her whining about her 'horrible' childhood, she also casually mentions many positive things, such as the nose job she had done, and the vacations the family went on. These details are incongruous with the image she paints of a poor waif of a child wearing hand me down clothing (albeit high end label stuff) and being abused by her mother, and not defended by her father.

In my search for a place to vent my view, I found an interview she did on Court TV where her parting shot was, "Buy my book!" I also stumbled on her web site which you have to pay to view. For someone who claims to have had no clue what was going on in her husband's life, she lists lots of tantalizing come ons for joining her site.

Don't waste your money on this book! I bought my copy used and will be selling mine soon for .01. I am only grateful that my purchase of her book did not put one thin dime into her greedy hand.

Who put their name on this book as an editor??!!!!.......2006-09-28

Oh man.
I picked this book up on vacation, intending it to be a good read...if anything something to pass the time. I have a huge interest in the Mafia and have for quite some time....however this book blew it for me. I don't think I made it past page 50...in fact I think I read the first 50 pages half a dozen times. I couldn't believe how poorly this book was written!! On top of that, like others have stated, it was so repetitive! I was shocked to say the least. I believe there to be many ways to have a book sound very much like the author, despite the authors ability to write a book, which clearly was not done with this book!!

Interesting life, less interesting book.......2005-04-25

I was curious about Lynda's life and picked up this book to read on an airplane ride.
Very poorly written, it took me 4 months to finally finish it. I wasn't captivated and brought into her world, as the cover suggested. I didn't feel much for this self-pitying, lowly writer.

Whine, Whine, Whine.......2004-12-28

This is a book about a whiner with grammar issues. In fact, she whines so much, her book gave me a headache. Her mother hated her, she hated school,she has no friends, her husband beat her, her husband was a criminal...whine whine whine. This could all be fascinating stuff, but because she whines instead of telling a story, it's boring. You just know the reason she has no friends is because no one wants to hear about it all the time.

I have no sympathy for this woman. All she did was make bad choices. I can't figure out if the purpose of this book was a bid for sympathy or to complain about Sammy Gravano, who, for all his faults, seemed to find a better writer, as well as editor, for his own book. Her throughts are convoluted, out of sequence and I doubt she's as innocent as tries to appear.

Skip this book or get it from the library. Even though I only paid fifty cents, I still feel like I wasted money.

Bestselling author Nicky Epstein creates a garden of knitted flowers sure to charm her legion of fans.

Nicky Epstein is a “rock star” of knitting who has earned nationwide recognition for her innovative and distinctive work. Her books Knitting on the Edge and Knitting Over the Edge are both bestsellers, and her many collections of Barbie™ Doll knitwear have proven enormously popular. Here, Nicky knits up a garden of colorful and whimsical flowers to adorn clothes, shoes, pillows, bags—almost anything at all. These pretty blossoms range from ruffled roses to lazy daisies, from single blooms to complete bouquets, from layered petal varieties to scalloped and corkscrew styles.

I can't get enough of Nicky Epstein.......2007-07-30

This book is not only beautiful but all the flowers are well done and pretty easy to make. A great way to ad fun and wimsy to sweaters/bags and even use for a jacket accessory.

I look forward to her next book.

Nicky Epstein's Knitted Flowers.......2007-07-08

Great instructions and variety of flowers for a multitude of projects. Great book to have as a resource on your shelf.

Wonderful patterns.......2007-03-30

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
A knitted flower
Can be any hue.

Nicky Epstein is one of the luminaries of the knitting world. Known for her innovative use of embellishments, Nicky Epstein's Knitted Flowers presents a bouquet of blossoms suitable for every occasion and outfit. This reference volume presents more than thirty-five different floral designs, as well as several patterns using the flowers.

Epstein divides the book into five sections based on the method of construction: stitch pattern flowers; petal constructed flowers; cord flowers; felted stitch pattern flowers; and felted cut flowers; with the majority of the designs using the first method. Knitted Flowers provide knitters a starting point to explore their flights of fancy. As Epstein suggests: "The flowers can be layered, and stems and leaves may be added. Bobbles, bangles, buttons and beads sewn to the centers bring the flowers an extra touch of beauty."

Nicky Epstein's Knitted Flowers isn't an essential addition to a knitter's library; however knitters looking for unique accessories, and those who love flowers, are sure to find inspiration here for years to come. Clear instructions and large, color photos are provided for each design.

Armchair Interviews says: This is sure to be a welcome addition to most knitters' collections.

Nicky Epstein's Knitted Flowers.......2007-02-06

I went ahead and purchased this book despite the somewhat boring patterns. There are a handful of flowers that are really pretty, but the majority of the patterns are rather dull. It's nice to have, but not a book to run out and purchase. I believe that Nicky Eptstein's "Knitted Embellishments" is a much better book.

Great resource.......2007-02-01

I ordered this book as soon as I found it at the library. This is definately a resource to keep close at hand to jazz up a plain piece of work.

In this collection of essays, Swain shows why gardeners are in the best position to become the new environmentalists. By focusing on the foundations of gardening, he shows how our most basic choices--what we choose to grow, when we decide to water, whether we return nutrients to the soil, how we deal with chemical and plastic residues, even when we eat fresh tomatoes--all have an impact on our larger environment.

Gardening Basics.......2005-07-22

This book contains a collection of gardening essays by biologist and gardener Roger Swain. The book is organized around the theme of planting and maintaining a healthy garden. Topics covered include: landscaping by deletion, fertilizing with compost and mulch, irrigation, erosion, plastics and the garden, noise pollution and hearing damage, seed saving, dealing with pesky mammals, root cellaring, and gardening education. End material includes a list of resources and references about the topics mentioned in the text and an index.

Swain writes in an accessible and informal style. The essays are both informative and interesting. For instance, in his chapter on fertilizing, he compares the relative values of adding chemical fertilizers, animal manure or mulch hay to the soil. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that mulch hay, which is easily obtainable in my area, not only adds organic matter, building soil structure, but also has significant fertilizing value of its own. Other essays include useful information about such topics as gray water, recycling plastic seedling planters, and constructing fences to keep woodchucks out of the garden.

These essays concern the science of the hum-drum features of our daily landscapes, but without authorial pyrotechnics Swain always manages to find something new to call to our attention. This collection pulls off a rare trick for science writing--it manages to inform without condescending or confusing. Like the prose, Abigail Rorer's illustrations are sturdy and nuanced.

most incredible....Wonderful photography....I gave this as a gift to my expecting daughter...WE have loved wandering thru the book and enjoying the memories a mother and daughter make along life's path, some day her daughter will have the same experience..... WE LOVE IT !!

She calls this a miracle?.......2007-08-16

Some old fart blows his beans up her muff and the end result is a 'miracle'? Give me a break. If that's a miracle, so is taking a dump...which is pretty much equivalent to the entire recorded output of this overmarketed, overrated, so-full-of-herself commercial twit.

What a precious book!! And beautiful music........2007-02-22

This book and CD are so soothing. I LOVE to look at this book cover to cover. I think it's the most beautiful thing ever. I pop in the CD and look at this book and I'm so filled with awe on the miracle of life. These babies touch your heart, and are captured so beautifully in this book.
Anne and Celine have given me such a gift!!!

Great for new mothers.......2007-01-03

I received this book as a gift about 1 month after the birth of my first child. I loved it! I was so amazed with babies and how perfect they are when they are born. This book uses newborn babies in the most beautiful photos. You can look at the photos and appreciate what a miracle little babies are, especially if you have just given birth to one. The music CD has many songs that I sing to my baby when he is going to sleep. Many of the songs are remakes of classics, some are her originals. Again, as a new mom, I appreciate the words of these songs and they capture how much love I feel for my new little peanut!

The title of this pleasingly told biography of Mizner--the hulking bon vivant who designed Spanish-style fantasia homes for the Jazz Age elite of South Florida--advances a general misconception about him: though his name is commonly associated with Boca Raton, he actually designed precious little for that town before his sprawlingly grandiose development scheme there caved in, leaving him broke for the short remainder of his life. Rather, the bulk of his work is in Palm Beach, where he designed countless romantic but shrewdly conceived Spanish Revival homes and estates for the old and new rich who flocked to this tropical "last frontier" in the 1920s. Seebohm accordingly focuses most on this output--from the early residence El Mirasol to the latter Playa Riente, not to mention Mizner's elegant Everglades Club and his own Via Mizner, which in a sense was America's first open-air shopping mall. (Photographs weren't available for review, but they will make up two 16-page inserts, unfortunately in black-and-white; Mizner was a master of intoxicating pastels.)

This isn't a rigid, theoretical sort of monograph, but, then again, Mizner wasn't a rigid, theoretical sort of architect--he had no formal training and (critics have noted) he did nothing to advance architectural idiom like the modernists. His genius was the way in which he parlayed a wildly divergent early career (that included travel in Alaska, China and Guatemala) into what became a vast enterprise in which he not only designed homes, interiors, and landscapes of distinct beauty and coherence, but oversaw and trained a virtual army of workers in the art of buying or reproducing Spanish stucco, tile work, pottery, furniture, and more. Adored in both high society and bohemian circles, his friends included everyone from grand dame Eva Stotesbury, for whom he designed El Mirasol, to composer Irving Berlin. He was also wildly flamboyant, uniquely resilient and adept at self-reinvention, and apparently blessed with a heart as big as his waistline. As such, Mizner lived a life as much about all-American pluck and luck in a heady, doomed decade as it was about architectural sensibility. Those two strands are deftly woven together here in a life story that approaches the same tone of genteel fondness that most of Mizner's rich lady friends routinely employed in recommending him to their ever-richer friends. --Timothy Murphy

Book Description

The rollicking tale of the artist, adventurer, and visionary whose innovative architecture transformed Palm Beach and whose dramatic rise and fall mirrors the larger-than-life excesses of the 1920s.

Addison Mizner’s Mediterranean-style mansions—with their stucco walls, tiled roofs, and Moorish accents—are much-admired Florida icons. In Boca Rococo, renowned author and biographer Caroline Seebohm introduces the flamboyant genius behind these pastel palaces.

Mizner was a leading San Francisco society figure in the 1890s, joined the Alaska Gold Rush, traveled to China, and made his way to an exploding turn-of-the-century New York. No formal training but huge natural talent established him as architect of the rich and famous. The getaways he designed made Palm Beach America’s most elegant resort—and fed his dream of developing a “Venice-on-the-Ocean” in nearby Boca Raton. Mizner’s plans ended with the collapse of Florida’s real estate boom. He died in 1933, broken and bankrupt.

Drawing on a huge cache of untapped materials—including measured plans and an unpublished autobiography—Seebohm restores Mizner to the pantheon of great architects and flamboyant Americans.

Customer Reviews:

A great read..........2007-05-14

I found myself always wanting more of this book. The author has done a great job presenting the life of Addison Mizner. The starting point is interesting. Caroline Seebohm discovered a cache of records from the architect's office. What she failed to mention and may not know is that these records were split sometime after the death of Addison so there is another book to be written!

Bittersweet.......2004-10-10

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Murphy's humor, tenacity and bravery are awe inspiring. She's attacked by wolves (or possibly wild dogs), wakes up in a tent after going to sleep out in the open, fends off an attempted rapist and has many other thrilling adventures. In one instance, when there are nefarious characters about, she is advised to booby trap her inn bedroom's doorway with empty bottles. In her journal, she calmly notes that emptying bottles is the one thing she's really good at.

I couldn't help feeling sad while reading this book. In 1965, when this book was published, most people were probably unfamiliar places like Kabul and Jalalabad. Now, of course, in the wake of the post-9/11 bombing of Afghanistan, Kabul is a household word. Turns out, that city was once breathtakingly beautiful, as well as the country around it. Murphy's trek takes her through Afghanistan at a time when the USSR and the US were vying for control of this country. The Russians were busy providing electricity and importing goods, while the Americans seemed to approach this ancient country with the intent to raze the traditional culture to the ground and replace it with a modern one. One wonders if, if both countries had never meddled with Afghanistan, there might never have been the Taliban? In any event, this book takes the reader back to a truly relevant experience of the not-so distant past.

Stirring and beautiful.......2002-10-14

It was by accident I discovered this book, but how fortunate it was! Murphy did not just ride a bicycle from Ireland to India, impressive in itself, but she lived and laughed and played with the Prince's and Peasants she met through out her journey. Her descriptions of the people she meets and the ancient lands she cross are simple and magical.

Some of her experiences seem to belong to fairy tales, other's remind's one of Arabian Nights, and at other times, it seemed Murphy was whisked into Tolkien's land of Middle Earth with fierce and gallant warriors on horseback.

I will quote a couple of passages which highlight her sense of humor and observation.

"...But it was worth it all to rise gradually from that fertile, warm valley to the still, cold splendour of the snow-line, where the highest peaks of the Hindu Kush crowd the horizon in every direction and one begins to understand why some people believe that gods live on mountain tops."

"...when suddenly I came on the most unexpected sight-a playing field complete with twenty-two youths and a soccer ball. I know very little about soccer, but enough to know this is how it is not played. No one ever moved about trotting speed, no one ever tried to tackle anyone else, the referee never used his whistle, the ball was never headed and the two goalies sat crosslegged between the posts most of the time, looking abstracted. The real excitement from a spectator's point of view was caused by the fact that one side of the field had a sheer drop of 200 feet, so that the main object of all the players was to keep the ball from going into the ravine rather than to kick it between the posts."

Not Just For Bicycle Fans.......2002-05-20

I first read this book in the sixties in grade school. I bought the reissued edition, rediscovering it by coincidence. Ms. Murphy's journey in the early sixties is, if anything, more fascinating to read today in light of the changes in the Middle East since she travelled there. Her independence and cheerful acceptance of different cultures is refreshing. This book was written prior to the 'me' decade, and while intensely personal, lacks the self-preoccupation that more recent writers practice.

Additionally, unlike so many bicycle travelogues, this book doesn't focus on the author's bicycle! The focus remains on the journey, which renders it excellent reading for all, not just bicyclists.

This is a timeless read and one that can be revisited with pleasure.

Why isn't Dervla Murphy better known?.......2001-09-04

What a find! I'm amazed Dervla Murphy is not much better known. She has such an appealing vigor and zeal for adventure, combined with an acute eye for cultural observation and a rich capacity for description. Dervla takes one of the most audacious trips I've ever heard of, and undergoes some of the most harrowing and arduous of trials with non-showoff-y courage, such as when three heavy objects that turn out to be wolves fling themselves at her on a dark deserted road in the Balkans, or she is awakened in the middle of the night to find a "scantily dressed Kurd" standing over her bed. (In both instances her pocket pistol dispatched the dilemma without further ado.) Not only are these accounts riproaring, but she so warmly and affectionately describes the so-called "undeveloped" cultures she grows to know as she passes through remote stretches of Afganistan and Pakistan, that she quite awakens a First World reader to the narrowness of our outlook.

An unusually inspiring book for all women, a MUST READ........1999-06-22

For anyone who read and enjoyed Into Thin Air, this book will definitely hold your interest. I challenge anyone to read three pages anywhere in the book and then put it down. Half awe-inspiring adventure, half Margaret Mead among the third world, it adds up to a whole that is both fascinating and, to this reader at least, utterly compelling. Inspiring for all women, I'd call this book a Must Read and highly recommend it to all my friends and children, both men and women.
