                      5 out of 5 stars Below average.......1999-09-05

                      This book is a great disappointment. I have just returned from a visit to Bali and Jakarta and found this book to be almost totally useless. In fact because the book contains advertising from MCI and American Express I think that it could be possible that only establishments (retuarants and hotels/resorts who remunerate Foder's get mentioned in this book. Specifically the information on Hotels and restuarants in Bali is so skimpy as to be laughable. Also applies to restuarants in Jakarta. I got mich more information by searching the web. All in all, don't waaste your money on this book.

                        Book Description

                        Now in her ninetieth year, Dame Daphne Purves is New Zealand's oldest Dame and one of Dunedin's living treasures. She has become a by-word for enthusiasm and tenacity in every field she has entered.

                        Her main area of expertise has been education. She sees this as the key to better conditions for women worldwide; and the passion of her life has been the International Federation of University Women, for whom she became world president in 1977. Her work with IFUW has taken her round the world many times, and into more than forty countries. She is fondly remembered by former students of Waitaki Girls High School, Otago Girls High School, Otago Boys High School and Dunedin Teachers College.

                        In this delightful, entertaining and extensively illustrated biography we are introduced to the private and public views of a woman whose zest for life has carried her through most of this century, from the horse-drawn era almost to the second millennium.

                        MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER WAS IN TOWN WHEN THE BOOTLEGGER WAS SHOT AND KNEW HIM. THIS BOOK SHOWS THE TRUE LIFE AND STRUGGLES OF LIFE NOT JUST IN SMALL TOWNS BUT ACROSS AMERICA. EXCELLENT HISTORY LESSON OF SURVIVAL AND WHAT GENERATIONS BEFORE US DID TO GIVE US WHAT WE HAVE.

                        5 out of 5 stars The Bootlegger.......2000-08-07

                        This is definitely a page turner--rare in nonfiction. Mr. Hallwas combines the suspense of a murder mystery and the facts of a history lesson and makes it all fascinating! I was born in the area and my family's surnames are mentioned throughout the book. Most of my family members have read the book and have SO enjoyed it! In fact it may have solved a generations-old family mystery of a missing relative! A must read for anyone with family roots in small town America!

                        5 out of 5 stars Here in western Illinois?.......1999-11-30

                        This book is excellent. Definitely a "can't put down" book. Hard to imagine the quiet, sleepy town of Colchester was once involved with Al Capone, Shoeless Joe Jackson, bombings of homes of law enforcement agents, and murders, bootlegging and crimes of this nature!

                        This accurate and off the beaten path history read like a murder mystery and showed me the various stages in the growth and death of a small town It also showed "what the simple folks did" to get get their booze during the depression era

                            3 out of 5 stars It said they sleep at night!.......2005-02-12

                            I got this book from the library after my mouse died. I wanted a hamster but we got this too to see which one sounded best. I saw that this book says gerbils sleep at night. We decided to get gerbils. I got two named Acorn and Daisy.
                            But they do not sleep at night! They keep me awake when they are upstairs. I read another book and it said that gerbils like to stay up around midnight! I go to sleep at 11:00 on weekends and the gerbils wake me up.
                            This book was wrong about gerbils sleeping at night. I did like the pictures, though. I don't know if there is anything else that isn't true because I didn't read the whole book.

                            4 out of 5 stars The best book for a gerbil owner!.......2001-05-24

                            This book so far I think si one of the best gerbil books I have read so far. The book is filled with detailed color photos and descriptions. The book also contains valuable gerbil care, housing, and other information which can be useful to ownersin times of need. This book is definately a must for every gernil owners out there. :)

                                2 out of 5 stars Save your money and don't buy this book.......2007-10-11

                                This book is old school and is way outdated as far as making cabinets. This book is very hard to follow and laid out very poorly. If you want a good book to make cabinets look into "Building Kitchen Cabinets" UDO SCHMIDT

                                5 out of 5 stars BTKC-BUY THIS BOOK.......2007-09-04

                                Definitely the best money I have spent on a cabinet book. Tolpin really provides a LOT of valuable information that can be used for DECADES to come.

                                From what I gather through my readings, Tolpin is a traditionalist / purist at heart, but, he understands the necessity to produce time and resource efficient designs. He provides instruction on both sides of the spectrum: Fast and Effective as well as traditional and effective (a little something for both). In this way, he is able to speak to the enthusiast that is interested in making a traditional set of cabinets, and the professional that is interested in producing a quality set of cabinets more quickly.

                                I also gather that he really enjoys teaching others his thoughts, shortcuts, time saving jigs that you can really use and appreciate (especially if you have been busting head trying to do it another way). This fact is what really wants me to buy more of his books. His service to carpentry in general is extraordinary; he is a true teacher of carpentry and advises young carpenters in almost every page of this book.

                                I especially enjoyed making and using most of the jigs he describes. In one chapter he outlines more than 5 jigs. Having built them (extremely easy to make), I have already put them to use in more than one woodworking session and will continue to do so in the future because they are so useful.

                                If you're interested in cabinet making, buy this book. If you're tight on money, buy a used copy. The point is to buy this book and read this book. If you don't like to read, buy this book because the illustrations can explain a lot too. Building one cabinet will pay for the book.

                                3 out of 5 stars Highly rated but disappointing.......2007-04-12

                                The hand written drawings are poorly done and lack significant detail. The photo illustrations are of good quality but are again limited in their application to the building process. Overall descriptions of the building process are scanty at best. Woodworkers interested in learning kitchen cabinet construction would be better served by reading Jere Cary's book; Building Your Own Kitchen Cabinets by the Taunton Press.

                                4 out of 5 stars Great book, if you have the tools.......2007-03-15

                                This book is for persons that will build more than a kitchen alone. You will need quite some precision tools to match the craftmanship illustrated in this book and obviously you have to be handy using these tools. For the rest the book is very detailed and gives plenty of ideas and tips and tricks.

                                5 out of 5 stars Simple Step by Step Instructions.......2006-03-01

                                Lists the tools and the measurement techniques on how to make simple traditional cabinets that look great. It is best used with Building Kitchen Cabinets by Udo Schmidt. They cover slightly different techniques using different tools. Between the two books, I was able to mix and match techniques to fit my set of tools. If you had to get only one book, this is the better book of the two.

                                        Now Available in Paperback!In this book two highly credentialed child psychologists offer a compelling indictment of the growing trend toward accelerated learning. It's a message that stressed-out parents are craving to hear: Letting tots learn through play is not only okay-it's better than drilling academics!Drawing on overwhelming scientific evidence from their own studies and the collective research results of child development experts, and addressing the key areas of development-math, reading, verbal communication, science, self-awareness, and social skills-the authors explain the process of learning from a child's point of view. They then offer parents 40 age-appropriate games for creative play. These simple, fun--yet powerful exercises work as well or better than expensive high-tech gadgets to teach a child what his ever-active, playful mind is craving to learn.

                                        If you wish to better understand how children learn to use language and number and how the learning process works in children in general, this book provides priceless answers. It has saved my family much money, which might have been wasted on "child learning tools" promoted by marketing slogans and not substantiated by research. I also heartily recommend Magic Years by Selma H. Fraiberg and Betweeen Parent and Child by Haim G Ginott.

                                        I love the "gentle revolution" books and thought that I would get an opposing opinion from this book. The "GV" books tell you numerous times that all of the flash cards and other activities must be fun for the babies, else don't do them. Anyone who reads this book should also read some of the "GV" books to get another opinion. Good luck,

                                        5 out of 5 stars Beyond Excellent. You won't panic while reading this book!.......2007-08-06

                                        You know how it goes. You hear another mommy in the playgroup or a mutual friend talk about how they are teaching their one-year-old to read or how their toddler just got in to the spanish immersion pre-school and you feel that twinge of guilty panic, wondering if you're doing what is right to make your child as smart as possible. This book is INCREDIBLE and will calm you down and help you realize what is truly important: children do not learn from boring drill-and-kill experiences. They learn from play and enjoyable reading.

                                        My favorite quote from this book is "Put away your credit card and get out your library card". That is the theme of the whole book. The authors explian why most expensive "educational" toys MAKE your children play with them a certain way and don't allow for creativity so they should not be the only toys your child has. (You can have them! They simply suggest you also have creative toys like dolls, blocks, dress up, kitchen & tool sets or Legos.) They go on to explain that access to toys like these encourage unstructured, imaginative play that help children learn about numbers, physics, geometry, the world and their feelings.

                                        This book tackles our most pressing questions, like how we will teach our children to read before pre-school and how we will teach them the concept of number symbols standing for actual quantities of items. Moreso, they explain to parents exactly how children learn and that parents are not the sole architects of the perfect baby brain. Mother nature has already created a brain that loves to learn and drilling children with flash cards or worksheets can kill a love for learning that is naturally there.

                                        As you can tell from the title of the book, flash cards and demanding, there's-only-one-right-answer educational toys are a fairly new trend but geniuses have always existed. Most intelligent people in the past were allowed to play and leisure read freely - and experiment with things around them - which contributed to their intelligence the most. Parents reading to children and free play are a must! (By the way, I have a psychology degree and I learned in college that children under 1 cannot really see words well unless the letters are FOUR INCHES TALL! Even better if the words are red, not black, to attract the eye to focus. No flash cards look like this! Two year olds still need three inch letters. Adult print is simply too small for their developing visual pathways to read! How bored and agitated would you be looking at small, blurry letters all day? It's like a constant eye-chart test set at 20/10!)

                                        I loved this book and nearly every paragraph is supported by research completed all over the world on child development. The back of the book organized the cites and references by chapter so you can look in to the research if you want to arm yourself with facts! In fact, I have talked so positively about this book, my friends are lining up to borrow it and I'm encouraging everyone to buy their own copy because you will want to keep this one on-hand. I'm buying one for the gal that lives up the street that just won't quit talking about how "smart" and "advanced" her one year old is because she buys educational toys exclusively!

                                        Honestly, you're going to find the answers you are looking for about how to both encourage creativity and teach the fundamentals your children need for Kindergarten. If nothing else, it will assure you that a relaxed, unstructured play day at home is one of the best things you can do for your child!

                                        5 out of 5 stars Play!.......2007-07-03

                                        I am an Early Childhood Educator and read this book because it showed up in a research article I read. This book has a lot of awesome and powerful information for parents and educators. I highly recommend this book to any parent who does not have a backgroud in child development or in early childhood. It's an easy read, and leaves you with a renewed passion towards the simple things in childhood.

                                        5 out of 5 stars Great Read for all parents.......2007-06-27

                                        This book is so encouraging! I am so frustrated with parents that believe that their children need to be involved in everything. The book is packed full of research that shows just the opposite. Children need to play and they learn best through play. It is so important that we spend quality time with our children and the authors reinforce this throughout the book. This book educates parents with the ways to go about helping our children and debunking the myths and lies such as purchasing certain products like flashcards, classical music at an early age, and certain toys make our children smarter.

                                          When Grace Snyder, the matriarch of a pioneer Nebraska family, wrote these reminiscences in her eightieth year, she felt she had been blessed "by having no time on my hands." The story of her busy life begins on the high plains of Nebraska, where her parents homesteaded in 1885. She recalls her childhood in a sod house on a frontier that required everyone to pull together in the face of hostile weather, serious illness, and economic depression but that also held its full share of good times.



                                          "As a child of seven and up," writes Grace Snyder, ". . . I wished that I might grow up to make the most beautiful quilts in the world, to marry a cowboy, and to look down on the top of a cloud. At the time I dreamed those dreams and wished those wishes, it seemed impossible that any of them could every come true." But she saw all of them realized.



                                          No Time on My Hands is a remarkable chronicle of the sod house era and of Grace Snyder’s married life on a ranch in Nebraska’s sandhills. From there she finally flies above the clouds to exhibits where her quilts contribute to a worldwide revival of quiltmaking. Mrs. Snyder lived twenty years after the publication of these memoirs in 1963, to the age of one hundred. Her daughter, Nellie Snyder Yost, who helped to write No Time on My Hands, has added an epilogue to this Bison edition.

                                          5 out of 5 stars Little House on the Prairie Uncensored.......2007-04-14

                                          My sister lent me this book to read because it featured some of our relatives, the Holms. I thought this book would be kind of dry, but it turned out to be quite the good read. It's a love story, a story of hard-ships and a story of heart breaking loss. Like Little House on the Prairie it explains much of the techniques that were employed on the frontier to survive, but it also does not spare any of the raw and unpleasant details.

                                          Snyder's desire to create beautiful textile art runs through her life and this book binding together the hardships she faced; helping her move forward. The book is also filled with wit and humor, insightful observations and most importantly hope.

                                          This book is an excellent history of how the midwest was settled - a little like House on the Prairie, but for grownups. From her childhood in a sod house to the Nebraska Sandhills as an adult, she accurately tells the story of what it was like to live in a rapidly changing world. It is amazing to think of how hard life was on the prairie, and yet she found time to make the most exquisite quilts. I read this book because I know of Grace Snyder as a master quilter, and enjoyed this book because of all I learned about the settling of my state, particularly the Sandhill region, of which I knew very little. She brings you into her family, and you rejoice in their accomplishments, and share in their sorrows. This book is a gem.

                                          As a little girl, Grace Snyder had three dreams: to marry a cowboy, to see the top side of a cloud, and to make the most beautiful quilts in the world. This book is about how her dreams came true. Grace lived at about the same time as Laura Ingalls Wilder, and her story is similar. She tells about her girlhood, her marriage and family, and making the quilts that earned her many ribbons and a reputation as one of America's finest quilters. She tells about good times and bad times, but throughout the book is the joy of a woman who lived the life of her dreams.
