It brings family resorts together in one place with detailed reviews. It has various price ranges though I think many would not choose those in the lower price range. It focuses more on resort than family. A little spotty in some places

Book Description

From the very beginning, Italians have traveled. Caesar went to Britain, Marco Polo went to China, and the grandparents and great-grandparents of countless Americans came here to the United States. They weren't alone. Millions came with them, before them, and after them, and together they took all that America had to offer. Of course, they gave something back, too. They gave back food like spaghetti, singers like Sinatra, and stories by Scorsese-and the actors who bring them to life better than anyone else. They gave back art, attitude, and customs that have spawned a way of life that is distinctly American. This book pays homage to the contributions of Italians and to that often celebrated, sometimes maligned heritage shared by millions of Americans.

More Fabric Savvy: A Quick Resource Guide to Selecting and Sewing Fabric Completely Revised and Updated

This is a must have book for anyone who sews. If you are starting out, it will save you a lot of frustration, money and fabric/supplies. If you are more advanced or a serious seamstress, it will help you to know the answers to all the questions that come up when handling multiple types of textiles. Each page on a fabric gives you all the information you need to know about that fabric, including what needle to use, what pressure foot to sew with, whether to wash or dryclean, line, how to hem, etc.

If I had this book when I was starting out over 30 years ago, I could have saved a lot of money. This is a great gift for someone who loves to sew.

Swiss Dog.......2007-09-06

Being very hesitatant at first about the book and the people telling me to get this book it's the greatest; well I've head that before. I have to state clearly "I WAS WRONG" this is the greatest book for sewing usage, but also, anytime you want to purchase material for any project whatever it may be you have to have this book. It gives you information such as; tells you the fabric, washing instructions, thread to use, needles, pressing, what foot to use on machine, and much more. This was for every type of fabric it's a "must have book".

WOW!.......2007-08-13

Every sewer should have this book is detailed guidance on picking the right fabric and what needle to use to and even how to start sewing some of those harder fabrics without bunching or snagging. One of the best sewing books I have bought yet!

everymoment ready reference.......2007-05-29

of course all the tailors know what to do for the fabric they just bought! there is still a new challenge hiding in the fabric store or something you never dared to try. this book will make you feel confident about the textiles, even when you were scared of trying them for long time. I have been sewing in the last 25 years and many of the experience results are here, with no need to throw away a wrong try. it is on my table, ready to refresh my memory or to inspire new patterns in untried materials. there are informations about needles, yarn, cutting, washing and suitable patterns, and the book remains open on the table!!!

This book is Awesome.......2007-04-05

I recently started sewing again. For someone who hasn't really sewn much since the cupcake pillow in the eigth grade, this book is invaluable. It's has proven to be an excellent resource on how to sew with all different types of fabrics. And it even has some great sewing tips sprinkled throughout the book. It's given me a little more confidence when sewing and that's just what I needed.

Very good information for the grandparent to follow, to aid the parents and back them up. Consistancy helps both the child and the parents and I found this very helpful.

Gift given to another.......2007-02-20

We really were not able to give a first hand review of this book, but based on all the other Love and Logic books we have studied we have much confidence in it.

Not sure B. Beaux's agenda but this book is phenominal!.......2006-08-18

B. Beaux's review is not even for this book - it seems as though his political agenda should be put in a blog not a book review. I was a teacher so I am extremely familiar with Love and Logic - they are based out of Evergreen - not Colorado Springs and have no affiliation with any "christian cult".
I gave this book to my mother and it is so refreshing to have parents and grandparents on the same page as far as dealing with the kids goes. It helps avoid a ton of potential arguements. My mother and father just loved it! They actually told me they wished this was around when I was younger because they would have loved to use it on me (I was a bit of a trouble maker).

Great program, great ideas... not poltically motivated! .......2006-05-06

I've not only read several of the "Love and Logic" series of books, but was first introduced to Love and Logic as an elementary and middle school teacher in the 1990's. We found many valuable teaching methods to help us deal with many different situations that arise in the classroom. Later on, as a parent, my husband and I took some classes on "parenting with love and logic" and again found many useful tools to use in our arsenal of ideas to help us be the best parents we could be with our kids. We have three between the ages of 9 months and 9 years!!! We need all the tools and great ideas we can get!
I am now purchasing the "Grandparenting with Love and Logic" book for my parents to help them remember how to be "grandparents" and not "Parents" to my brothers and my kids.
The previous review really baffles me... Focus on the Family is a great program by Dr. James Dobson, who also has written some wonderful books. Yes, it's a Christian based program... so if you have an issue with this... then there ya go! THis series of books are NOT written by Dr. JAmes Dobson however!!! Obviously, the previous reviewer has some serious issues with Christianity and was very politically motivated in his own review of these books.
Get these books if you want to add some great and very powerful tools to your toolbox for raising kids and grandkids! I highly recommend taking any classes if they come to your area as well!!! This program is used in the PUBLIC schools ALL across the USA for training teachers (and has been for the last 2 decades!)... they MUST be doing something right!!!

Leni Riefenstahl: Five Lives traces the fascinating and controversial life and work of the famous German photographer-filmmaker. Riefenstahl started her creative career as an aspiring dancer in the 1920s in Germany and then became a movie actress. She starred in a number of films, taking challenging roles that were sometimes dangerous and physically rigorous, such as the ice-bound and skiing roles in Storm over Mont Blanc, The White Flame, and SOS Iceberg. These outdoor films foretold the spirit of adventure that later guided Riefenstahl's photography career.

The crux of controversy that overshadows Riefenstahl's career is her handpicked appointment by Adolf Hitler to direct the infamous Nazi party rally film Triumph of the Will. Although, according to her memoirs, Riefenstahl tried to withdraw from the film, she created a work that depicted Hitler's plane descending from the clouds as if it carried a god, and she has been accused "of having significantly increased, by means of this film, the emotional bond of the Germans to Hitler." Riefenstahl then went on to direct the German film Olympia covering the 1936 Olympics. With WWII came great change and Riefenstahl's eventual imprisonment by the French. In her later years, she continued her photography career by documenting her trips to Africa and getting her scuba license in her 70s. Her close-up underwater pictures of sea life float like a dream in vivid color. For as damning as her association with the Nazis is, Riefenstahl is a complex and talented artist. This book is full of remarkable images of her acting and directorial career as well as her still photography, and it includes a detailed biography of her life and career--complete with family and personal pictures. --J.P. Cohen

A Superb Photographic Tribute to a Remarkable Woman.......2004-04-05

How different would Leni Riefenstahl's life have been had she not filmed Triumph of the Will? One can only speculate what films she would have directed and starred in after World War II were it not for Hitler insisting she do the film.

Riefenstahl has been referred to as a Renaissance woman, and she most certainly was. She was a creative being and expressed her creativity in dance, acting, directing, photography and ocean diving. These five areas, spanning her entire long life, are the subject of this sumptuous coffee table book.

Editor Taschen Angelica is to be commended on compiling this life-work on Riefenstahl while Leni was still alive to assist in the selection and arrangement of the photographs. The segment on the mountain films is worth the price of the book alone, but the color images of the Nuba are also amazing.

Riefenstahl's revenge against those who denied her her cinematic craft after World War II was being able to live to 101, and seeing her life-long accomplishments compliled into this book. Rumor has it Jody Foster is at work on a film project about Riefenstahl. One hopes Foster will get it right and cover her entire life, not just the years that caused so much controversy.

Hollywood couldn't invent it.......2002-06-29

A biography in pictures of arguably the most influential female film-maker in the history of the medium...though all too many people in the industry are afraid to admit to it. Made the greatest propaganda film in history (unfortunate choice of subject matter) and the most important and influential sports documentary of all time (Olympia). Dancer, actress, director, producer, still photographer, underwater cinematographer...an astounding list of accomplishments driven by a desire to perceive and record the world around her has compelled Leni Riefenstahl since the beginning of the twentieth century.
Oversized, handsomely produced volume (typical Taschen quality) is packed with rare photographs and fascinating commentary. Note: sparkle in eyes of 19-year old dancer and 99-year old legend is exactly the same.

Hollywood couldn't invent it.......2002-06-29

Gorgeous book--a must have!.......2002-05-14

As gifted as she is controversial, Leni Riefenstahl's "five" lives are imminently fascinating as this impressive book will prove! Even to the uninformed or casual observer, this edition will entrance. A great addition to your library, especially if you are impressed by the 102 year old dynamo who continues to prove filmmaking and photography as an art form. A living testament to the fact that "bodies in motion, stay in motion!"

You can tell a book by its cover.......2002-03-18

The striking front cover on this book is a publicity still as Junta, in the movie "The Blue Light" 1932. As impressive as the cover is, it gets better when you open it to reveal hundreds of artistically shot photos. Dr. Ruth says bigger is not necessarily better. However in this case it is; something about the size of the photographs add to their striking appearance. Most are in grainy black and white with some color sections. This book is just a wee to large to fit in my oversized bookshelf. So I am making a larger shelf to display the books front view.

Just as you assume that this is a great coffee table book you will find that there is more too it. Luckily the pictures are not cluttered or distracted by alpha pneumonics. All the descriptions are in a separate section. The title of the book is appropriate as it portray s the different vocations of Leni. (Dancer, Actress, Director, Photographer, Diver)
