ideally suited for the traveller.......2001-11-02

This book should not be relied upon for vintage information, top recommended producers, or matching various styles of wine with food. I think the author is assuming the reader is familiar with German wine, and knows what he or she likes, and writes to offer directions on how to find many estates (major and otherwise) in every wine-producing region of the country. There is detailed highway information too, along with addresses, telephone and fax numbers, hours of operation, and suggestions on whether or not knowledge of German is an issue. The photography is excellent, and every region, including Ahr and the Mittelrhein, gets comprehensive treatment, so that wherever one might be travelling to Germany, the author will give the most local data. It's quite a unique book and very enjoyable to read. Highly recommended.

Book Description

Often deemed the founder of British radicalism, John Wilkes (1725-1797) had a shattering impact on the politics of his time. His audacity in challenging government authority was matched by his skill and determination in attaining his objectives: the freedom of the press to criticize ministers and report Parliament; enhanced security for individuals and their property from arbitrary arrest and seizure; and the rights of electors. That he was a political maverick, of witty and wicked reputation, has led historians to underestimate him - this is the first researched biography since 1917. Contemporaries appreciated his achievements more than posterity, one obituarist writing that `his name will be connected with our history'. In this fascinating and original biography, Peter Thomas provides an intriguing portrait of the man George III referred to as `that Devil, Wilkes'.

Arthur Conan Doyle fictionalized him as the superhuman Professor Moriarty, and the popular press luridly chronicled his daring heists, though the police never managed to convict him of anything major until he was nearly 50. Forgotten since his 19th-century heyday, master thief Adam Worth (1844-1902) gets a contemporary dusting-off in this cheerfully cynical biography by a British journalist, who sees Worth's story as a case study in Victorian hypocrisy. The colorful New York and London underworlds are as meticulously described as Worth's surprisingly attractive personality.

Book Description

He is the Napoleon of crime, Watson.
He is the organizer of half that is evil and of nearly all that is undetected in this great city.
He is a genius, a philosopher, an abstract thinker. . . .
--Sherlock Holmes on Professor Moriarty in "The Final Problem"

The Victorian era's most infamous thief, Adam Worth was the original Napoleon of crime.  Suave, cunning Worth learned early that the best way to succeed was to steal.  And steal he did.

Following a strict code of honor, Worth won the respect of Victorian society.  He also aroused its fear by becoming a chilling phantom, mingling undetected with the upper classes, whose valuables he brazenly stole.  His most celebrated heist: Gainsborough's grand portrait of the Duchess of Devonshire--ancestor of Diana, Princess of Wales--a painting Worth adored and often slept with for twenty years.

With a brilliant gang that included "Piano" Charley, a jewel thief, train robber, and playboy, and "the Scratch" Becker, master forger, Worth secretly ran operations from New York to London, Paris, and South Africa--until betrayal and a Pinkerton man finally brought him down.

In a decadent age, Worth was an icon.  His biography is a grand, dazzling tour into the gaslit underworld of the last century.  .  .  and into the doomed genius of a criminal mastermind.

Not for fans of Confessions of A Jewel Thief.......2005-09-30

I picked this book up because it is heavily promoted by Amazon with Confessions of a Jewel Thief, Bill Mason's larger than life book about being a burglar. These books have nearly nothing in common other than fitting into the true crime genre. Macintyre misses the mark by getting bogged down in details and random facts (his research is impressive, yes) and forgetting to spin a compelling tale. There is too much material here with no cohesive narrative. Many other readers have hit it in the head by identifying the failings of Mason to focus solely on the topic of Worth and his exploits.

Terribly disappointing.......2005-08-04

If you meander through all these reviews, checking the lower-rated ones, you will get a fairly accurate view of this book. I have read hundreds of true crime books, and this ranks near the bottom. It is a fascinating topic. Or should be. But in the hands of this author, it is a tedious, irritating, blather. Let me explain.

Two of my favorite reads in the past few years make interesting comparisons. Big Trouble by J. Anthony Lukas was one of the most fascinating books I've ever read. Lukas wandered far and wide, reeling in everything and everyone, and in doing so, built a portrait of a time and place that was riveting. Every detail was useful, every speculation added value. Some of the reviewers found the rambles bothersome; I have rarely finished such a big book wishing it were even longer, but Big Trouble left me wanting more.

A similar book was Dark Horse by Kenneth Ackerman. Extraneous details were seamlessly woven into the tale, making the world come alive and the characters multi-dimensional. I could almost hear the creak of boots and smell the cigar smoke. Skilled writing and skilled choosing.

But this book ambles pointlessly, dragging in details that are neither of interest in themselves nor add to the tale being told. Long excursions into the lives of everyone who wanders into the main tale, endless condescending sermonizing about Victorian moralizing and double-standards, repetitive and irritating discursions into the "double" which the author seems to think the Victorians invented, and the most silly and irritating speculation sink this tale. Which is amazing, for the story of Adam Worth in the hands of the most plodding storyteller should be gripping. The man was a doer of great evil (which Macintyre blows off rather casually; Adam Worth left a wake of broken businesses, crushed dreams, falsely accused victims, and bankrupted people, but because he shot no one, and was "elegant" it seems OK.) He committed some astonishingly brave and brazen crimes. But there just isn't enough there that we can know, so invented details that grow wearying are heaped on.

At one point, Macintyre compares Worth to Captain Nemo. Now, this is a weak comparison on its own grounds, but then we get something about "no one knows if Worth read the book, but if he did, he would certainly see himself there." Now there's a pointless speculation. One of the common tactics of authors trying to puff up a lesser talent is to compare their achievements in some irrelevant way. "As Shakespeare did, So-and-so lived in Stratford," thereby gratuitously tying a grade z author and an acknowledged master. At gerat length the author "compares and contrasts" Worth and J.P. Morgan, in a stupendously overblown manner. Over and over we are told how Worth would have enjoyed this quip by Wilde. Give us a break, pal. The guy was a crook, a scuzz, a humbug, and a thug who hurt many, many people, much like Melmotte in Trollope's novel, The Way We Live Now (another book we don't know if Worth read.)

Misleading Title.......2005-03-16

I agree with the reviewers saying this book missed its target. It seems like MacIntyre couldn't find sufficient material for a book about Adam Worth, but went ahead and wrote it anyway. My guess is that there's plenty of information about "The Duchess of Devonshire," and so MacIntyre used that to pad out his manuscript. Worth pulled off plenty of other capers, and I'd like to read about those. What I don't want to read is the author's unsubstantiated speculation about Worth's psyche.

If you're interested in the provenance of the "Duchess," this book might be an interesting read. Otherwise, I'd recommend Asbury's "Gangs of New York." Two of Worth's contemporaries and sometime associates also wrote books which might be worth tracking down. These were Sophie Lyons and William Pinkerton.

Elementary, Dear Adam.......2005-03-14

This book provides a fascinating portrait of one of the last of the gentleman criminals. In fact, Adam Worth wanted to be known solely as a gentleman rather than as a notorious criminal. The crimes were simply his way of gaining power and prestige in a Victorian world where he could never gain this position without buying it. And buy it he did by perpetrating almost every crime imaginable. An honorable thief who was fiercly loyal to his henchmen, Worth was devilishly clever, many times carrying out operations right out in the open without being caught. No wonder Doyle tapped him for Sherlock Holmes' arch-rival and Elliot immortalized him as Macavity, the Mystery Cat. Not bad for a guy who officially "died" in the Civil War at the 2nd Battle of Bull Run (reports of his death were greatly exaggerated--and he used his deceased status for financial gain, thus beginning his very lucrative criminal career).
Much of the book is taken up with his most famous crime, the stealing the "Duchess of Devonshire" by Gainsborough mere weeks after it was sold at the highest price ever paid for a painting up to that time. For a crime that was almost done on a whim, it is the one for which he is most well known and for which he was never caught (he returned the painting 25 years later anonymously).
Two very nice sub-themes run throughout the book. First was his undying love for his best friend's wife, Kitty Flynn. Flynn went on from humble beginnings (and after dropping he thieving hubby) to become a true Victorian lady of note, but Worth never dropped the torch he held for her (he was probably the father of two of her children).
The second was his friendship with William Pinkerton later in life. Born of mutual respect for each other throughout their careers as antagonists, Pinkerton not only did not volunteer evidence that could have condemned Worth to life in prison after he was caught and exposed, but also brokered the return of the Duchess while keeping Worth anonymous. Pinkerton mourned Worth when he died and kept a promise to watch out for his children by bringing his son into the detective agency, an ironic legacy for the Napoleon of Crime.
Fascinating stuff. Truly stranger than fiction.

Missed his Target.......2005-01-18

I have mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand, the subject matter is guaranteed to fascinate. Adam Worth was a truly bizarre and unique character who knew and was related to several famous people. The book is also very well-written.

My complaint is that the author often seems not really very interested in his subject, Adam Worth. Large sections of the book--including the beggining and the end--are not about Adam Worth at all. The author seems obsessed with the Gainsborough painting, The Duchess of Devonshire. Admittedly, stealing this painting was perhaps Worth's most famous crime and would certainly have rated a chapter. However, Macintyre drones on and on and on about the painter, the history of the painting, the many people who have owned the painting, wholly unsupported psychological assertions about the painting's affect on Worth. He devotes an entire chapter just to J.P. Morgan, who Worth never met nor stole from. Morgan rates a chapter simply because he was the last owner of the Gainsborough.

This is a basically good book that is fatally flawed by the author's tendency to obsess about what is a peripherial issue. Too bad. If you are an art historian I can recommend this book whole-heartedly. If you are interested in a biography of Adam Worth, I recommend the book only with reservations.

Every parent should read this book!.......2007-07-15

This is one of my new favorite parenting books. The authors do a great job of teaching readers how to have a mutually respectful relationship with their children that promotes cooperation. They give great communication tips and reasonable suggestions to help parents talk to their kids. They help parents understand child development so they can avoid putting their children in situations they are not ready for which leads to melt downs. They promote consistency which is so important with children. I will be recommending this book to all the parents I see in my psychotherapy practice.

A must read when you have a little child or take care of one or just want to know more about how to raise emotionally healthy and well-balanced children. Jane Nelsen is a phenominal insightful expert when it comes to parenting. I started giving this book to new parents as a gift as I have raised my own children by this method and the parenting job has been enjoyable throughout all years due to the positive discipline method. The book is an easy read and simple to follow. Although, the greatest benefit arises by actually applying these brilliant principles.

very good for little ones.......2006-11-13

great resource for small children, but would
recommend instead the book for preschoolers
which has more information and techniques for
toddlers.

Important topics did not jive with my child rearing ideology........2006-07-30

When I first began reading I found the stories to be unrealistic but thought that it may still be worth reading. For Example: The man who hits his child because the child said they had gone to a specific place only last night when they actually had gone days/weeks ago. His claim was that the child was a liar. Anyone who is interested in bringing up a well child would not behave that way and certainly a person like that is not interested in reading a book to improve their parenting skills. Anywho, I thought this book would give me creative ideas with discipline when the book is really about, as Tucson Toddler Mom said, common sense ideology.

I was most disappointed in their advocating "crying it out" (Yes, H. King they did advocate - check the "Sleeping Single" on pg. 130) and their bias against co-sleeping. They cite Alfred Adler as their co-sleeping "expert" who wrote junk psychoanalytical theories in early 1900s. In the section "sleeping with Parents" on pg 136 the writers write: "Some people believe children feel more loved and secure when they sleep in their parents' bed. Other experts believe children become demanding and dependent when they sleep with their parents......." Note the "other experts" as opposed to "some people" They are using the ole' "people in white lab coats" ploy to tilt you to their opinion on the subject. Shame on them! This is when I quit reading. They don't want you to hit your kids but it's ok to leave them crying and alone in another room for no good reason.

Of course, you probably now know that my husband and I are a co-sleeping, non hitting parents and IMO, babies were not intended to sleep alone. Otherwise the dingos would drag them away and eat them! More seriously though, I believe as some EXPERTS do: Co-sleeping has far more benefits than negatives and I don't believe that "crying it out" is ever an option. If you differ then this is the book for you ;)

Book Description

Everett Ruess--a bold teenage adventurer, artist, and writer--tramped around the Sierra Nevada, the California coast, and the desert wilderness of the Southwest between 1930 and 1934. At the age of 20, he mysteriously vanished into the barren Utah desert. Ruess has become an icon for modern-day adventurers and seekers. His search for ultimate beauty and adventure is chronicled in two books that contain remarkable collections of his writings, extracted from his journals and from letters written to family and friends. Both books are reprinted here in their entirety.

Customer Reviews:

Very Good Description of Place and Time.......2007-09-23

Unlike most of the other reviewers I found Everett to be rather smug and having an unpleasant sense of entitlement. I also didn't find him to be particularly talented as a writer or artist. It would have been interesting, had he lived, to see if he matured into greater skill, and perhaps even learned to treat animals appropriately.

I did like the book for it's excellent sense of the Canyon Country during that time. There's no question of Everett's bravery of wandering this harsh land. Edward Abbey is the far, far superior writer, but he's writing from a later period. I haven't found much written during this period and as such really enjoyed this book.

A great book detailing the travels and life of Everett Ruess.......2006-11-06

This is a great book, if you want to read about Everett and his travels around the Southwest and the Grand Canyon and Lake Powell area.

Good book..terrible binding........2006-09-28

This book is very interesting, but each page falls out as I turn to the next. I like to keep my books and often reread them again and again. I don't think it will be possible with this edition.

The best book about Everett Ruess.......2005-10-05

This is, I believe the best book about the mysterious young artist Everett Ruess. It consists mainly of his letters to his family and friends--well-written, if slightly flowery letters--and is much better than the less-polished collection of his wilderness journals.
Everett Ruess was a twenty-year-old photographer, artist, and writer, who rambled the desert with a manic passion for nature, beauty, and solitude. He canvassed the American Southwest, including the canyons and slickrock where Lake Powell is today, on burros, on horses, and on foot; he took the trails everyone thought were too dangerous, sought out the most desolate, forbidding areas, and chased experience with a joyful craving--sought it without already having it. He just went.
Where he went last though is anyone's guess. In 1934 he carved "NEMO," and the year, at two different spots in the sandstone around Davis Gulch (in southern Utah, just north of present day Lake Powell), tied up his pack animals--or someone did--and disappeared. No verifiable trace of him has ever been found, and though most theories involve his death, he could still be alive somewhere. He'd be over ninety years old now. Leaving his burros tied up to possibly starve was just the right touch to make people think he'd died--it might be what I'd do if I couldn't take the pressures of society anymore--and there is ample evidence throughout his journals that he never treated animals very well anyway: he killed every snake he saw, beat his dog so hard it ran away, and overworked his mules until one died of exhaustion.
Besides, why would he carve "NEMO" twice--as in Captain Nemo, the character in Jules Verne's "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea," a book he loved, a character who abandons society to live under the ocean--if he wasn't planning on abandoning society? It seems like an amazing coincidence that he would carve that, and then just get murdered by cattle rustlers.
Claims have been made that his bones were found in a crevice in Davis Gulch in the 1970s and given to a park maintenance worker and then lost. A notoriously racist Indian has claimed he murdered Everett Ruess in present day Reflection Canyon, buried him there, and then tied Everett's donkeys up in Davis Gulch. People have claimed that he got married and moved to a reservation, that he became a polygamist (he always claimed to be a "pantheistic hedonist"), and that he drowned.
A local of Escalante, Utah, told me he met Everett back in 1934: Everett was grinning, beaming, walking between two Navajo men, and the men were singing. That same man told me he thinks Everett was just a dumb kid who got himself killed by being foolish, and that he explored less than people say he did.
That may be, but everything about Everett remains a mystery, and his character remains intriguing.
Everett came out West, and at least part of him stayed here, and his legend grows more and more every day. He came out west, and he's still missing. Like the Anasazi. Like a thousand rumored treasures. Like 180 miles of the Colorado through Glen Canyon.
Things and people just vanish out here.
Fans of this book might also like "Sandstone Sunsets: In Search of Everett Ruess," which contains several interesting theories on Everett's death. Scott Thybony's "Burntwater" contains a good chapter on him, as does Jon Krakauer's "Into the Wild."

Don't stare too long at the abyss, lest the abyss stare back at thee.......2005-08-04

It may seem strange to describe something that is autobiographical as folklore or mythology. But to read Ruess' story is to read something so fantastic it is beyond belief. In the end, the story truly becomes myth as Everett meets his as yet unknown end.

I lived in Utah for 5 years and have hiked many of the canyons and deserts of Ruess' journals. Even in a more modern age I am still amazed at his adventurous spirit. The four corners region remains a vast and remote place much of which is inaccessible by 4 wheel-drive (thank goodness). To imagine a teenager venturing into such country at a time when it was still the domain of Native Americans is remarkable.

Reviewers who are critical of Ruess' journals, not only fail to recognize the remarkable nature of his story, but the beauty with which it is told. It is ironic then that Ruess often criticizes his paintings, never perhaps realizing his true talent is writing.

The material in these journals would make excellent material for a movie. I know one was made independently but Robert Redford (without his voice for narration) would truly bring these journals to life. What more cinematic ending than his leaving all earthly possessions behind and disappearing forever (at age 21) into the ether of dust and desert air. I wish someone would make a film of his story so it would finally be recognized as one of the great American stories.

Among journals of the southwest, this book is worthy of 5 stars. Among all literature it is probably worthy of 3.5 to 4.

Readers who enjoy this might also enjoy the already suggested Into the Wild, Desert Solitaire, Sandstone Sunsets, or even Mormon Country by Wallace Stegner.
