Native orchids deserve conservation!.......2007-02-16

This book, a collaboration between D.S. Correll and Oakes Ames and his famous botanical illustrator wife, Blanche Ames (with additional drawings by Gordon Dillon), is an invaluable resource to anyone wanting to understand the diversity of North American orchids and their botany. Taxonomic names have changed, in some cases, but that does not take away from the beautiful illustrations nor the valuable information contained herein. Definitely a must-have for anyone serious about orchid conservation!

Very Moving.......2007-09-10

I first spotted this book when I had half an hour up my sleeve on the way to a visit at Bunbury Prison. It moved me big time.

In my working capacity over the years as a teacher and facilitator within the Western Australian Prison system I have often used chapters of this book as a pivotal point in my classes.

I am sure Jarvis would be pleased to know that this book has moved the lives of many - including that of many prisoners. To demonstrate how freedom can be found under circumstances of incarceration until death with stories that prisoners can truly relate to is an awesome feat.

The story about the 4th of July really provoked much deep and meaningful discussion.

'Scars', and 'My Sisters' really got them thinking too.

But this book is not only of great benefit to prisoners; it's messages are universal to us all.

Interesting peek into San Quentin.......2007-01-12

This book was an easy read, and gave me a good sense of what it was like for Masters to go from angry to peaceful in prison. It's not professionally written, but one wouldn't expect it to be. I think it would be interesting to people who study prison psychology, violence, Buddhism and meditation, and/or personal growth and transformation.

Escaping from our own prisons.......2006-09-18

This book was deeply moving on many levels, but I was especially struck by how Jarvis Masters was able to find freedom possibly the worst situation one could be in, while many of us, with relatively good lives, never question our own imprisionment. We're all in one sort of prison or another. Jarvis was shown a path to his own freedom, and in the true Boddhisatva tradition, he makes that path clear to the rest of us. Jarvis is an inspiration and one hopes that his message will be read by all.

Changes lives of my students every year.......2005-05-10

Since I began using this book in my 11th grade American Literature/Contemporary Composition classes a few years ago, students have consistently remarked that it has changed the way they view life, the world, and themselves. They consistently say that it is the most meaningful literature we read all year. From Jarvis, they learn life lessons and how to go beyond self-pity and anger. Jarvis is a beautful man and I recomend this book heartily to anyone wishing to open their heart.

Spirituality At Its Best.......2004-01-30

I recommend that anyone who is seeking to be spiritual read this book. Jarvis Masters provides a shining example of compassion in action in cirumstances where it is very difficult to be a holy human being.

The Collector's Encyclopedia of American Art Glass (American Art Glass: Identification & Values)

ASIN: 0916838439

Book Description

The nineteenth century was a Golden Age in the history of glassware. At no other time were more accumulated glass skills and decorative techniques manifested in the comparitively short space of one century. The author introduces the book with a comprehensive look at the history of manufactured glass, including the use of obsidian (natural volcanic glass) among primitive peoples; examples from Mesopotamia, Syria, and Egypt; through the technical developments of the late classical and early Christian centuries; through the Renaissance and the following development through the eighteenth century. The stage now set, the author divides each of the important types of fine nineteenth century glass in definitive chapters which explain their history and details of their manufacture. Similarities in wares produced by various manufacturers in America and Europe, means of identification, and modern imitations and developments are all discussed, along with many other topics of great interest to the collector. Profusely illustrated with photographs and patent drawings, this reference is a complete survey of aesthetics and techniques of art glass production during this most important century.

Customer Reviews:

fantastic book!.......2007-09-19

This is a wonderful book. A most read for all moms who want to encourage their children to be positive and to live a Christan life. It is an easy read and very uplifting!

ok.......2007-02-27

There were some good things in this one. I did keep it after I was done reading it but it wasn't as deep as I had hoped it would be.

Good book.......2007-01-17

This was our first book we read for our newly formed Bible Study/ Women's Book club at our church. It was a hit and everybody thoroughly enjoyed it. There was a chapter or two that was just "ok", but the rest of it made a lot of sense. Our book club is mostly new moms or moms with younger children.

Great Reminder.......2007-01-12

While nothing in the book was a huge revelation ("your kids model themselves after you," "take care of yourself," "take care of your marriage," etc.), it was all a good reminder -- and it was nice to have the Biblical citations to back up the principles. Ladd is a great writer, making the material very easy and entertaining to read.

the power of a positive mom.......2006-03-09

I'm back for more of Karol Ladd. This book has made all the difference in the world.

I recommend this book for every mom!.......2003-10-03

No matter where you are in your journey of motherhood, this book will have something for you. I can't speak highly enough of the challenge and encouragement that I came away with, after reading this book. The author is very down-to-earth about motherhood and how we can really enhance our families and homes, always backing up what she says with scripture. This is a book I will keep on my shelf and read again someday.
