          Book Description

          Robert H. Jackson was one of the giants of the Roosevelt era: an Attorney General, a still revered Supreme Court Justice and, not least important, one of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's close friends and advisers. His intimate memoir of FDR, written in the early 1950s before Jackson's untimely death, has remained unpublished for fifty years. Here is that newly discovered memoir. Written with skill and grace, this is truly a unique account of the personality, conduct, greatness of character, and common humanity of "that man in the White House," as outraged conservatives called FDR. Jackson simply but eloquently provides an insider's view of Roosevelt's presidency, including such crucial events as FDR's Court-packing plan, his battles with corporate America, his decision to seek a third term, and his bold move to aid Britain in 1940 with American destroyers. He also offers an intimate personal portrait of Roosevelt--on fishing trips, in late-night poker games, or approving legislation while eating breakfast in bed, where he routinely began his workday. We meet a president who is far-sighted but nimble in attacking the problems at hand; principled but flexible; charismatic and popular but unafraid to pick fights, take stands, and when necessary, make enemies. That Man is not simply a valuable historical document, but an engaging and insightful look at one of the most remarkable men in American history. In reading this memoir, we gain not only a new appreciation for Roosevelt, but also admiration for Jackson, who emerges as both a public servant of great integrity and skill and a wry, shrewd, and fair-minded observer of politics at the highest level.

          5 out of 5 stars Everyday Reader.......2004-06-13

          Robert H. Jackson's insightful and previously unpublished observations of FDR in his presidency appear and are notated in Professor Barrett's THAT MAN in a very readable arrangement. Here is a true and objective account by one who was there and witnessed the inside of the FDR years in the White House. These Jackson writing's being posthumous adds rarity and validity to the work, making it a true find for serious Roosevelt and Roosevelt period historians.

          5 out of 5 stars Robert Jackson Takes the Measure of FDR.......2004-05-13

          This is a very interesting book which adds something of great value to the ever-growing mound of books on FDR. The fact that the manuscript was uncovered in a closet some 50 years after it was written is something for which students of FDR and presidential power can give thanks. It presents an entirely unique view and highly personal perspective on interacting with Roosevelt. Some of the most interesting discussion relates to interacting with FDR and his circle on an informal basis, such as on those fishing trips FDR savored. Also of great interest is the light the book throws on Jackson's own career--from the Treasury, to the SEC, then to Justice where successively Jackson was in the Tax Division, headed the Antitrust Division, became Solicitor General and Attorney General, and ultimately was elevated to the Supreme Court. Along the way we gain a fascinating perspective on such events as the Court Packing plan. The strongest chapter is on "That Man as Politician;" the most interesting "That Man as Companion and Sportsman." The editor has done an outstanding job in providing extensive notes, material from other sources to supplement the narrative, and in providing a biographical directory. But it is Jackson's own narrative skill that makes the book read so well. With a new major biography of Jackson himself on the horizon, this book becomes even more essential.

          5 out of 5 stars A refreshing look at our 32nd President.......2003-09-10

          As a long-time admirer of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, I am always intrigued by new books that are published regarding his life or his Presidency. A book from a contemporary source that has such "insider" knowledge of how FDR operated as Robert Jackson is a marvelous addition to the existing literature.

          Jackson does not make any promises at the outset of the book except to be objective, and he certainly does meet this goal. Jackson describes FDR as President, Commander-in-Chief, and a human being, outlining his strengths as well as his weaknesses. Jackson makes no excuses for the President when his policies and knowledge did not seem to be best for the country (Jackson even criticizes FDR for his lack of economic knowledge and business sense).

          I enjoyed Jackson's writing style (he is considered by many to be one of the best authors to ever sit on the Supreme Court of the United States), and I found that the book was easy to read.

          I highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in President Franklin Roosevelt - the stories and anecdotes given in the text make it highly readable, and the examples Jackson provides to detail his points are always logical and related to the subject at hand.

                The same sharp intelligence and self-deprecating wit that made Michael J. Fox a star in the Family Ties TV series and Back to the Future make this a lot punchier than the usual up-from-illness celebrity memoir. Yes, he begins with the first symptoms of Parkinson's disease, the incurable illness that led to his retirement from Spin City (and acting) in 2000. And yes, he assures us he is a better, happier person now than he was before he was diagnosed. In Fox's case, you actually might believe it, because he then cheerfully exposes the insecurities and self-indulgences of his pre-Parkinson's life in a manner that makes them not glamorous but wincingly ordinary and of course very funny. ("As for the question, 'Does it bother you that maybe she just wants to sleep with you because you're a celebrity?' My answer to that one was, 'Ah...nope.'") With a working-class Canadian background, Fox has an unusually detached perspective on the madness of mass-media fame; his description of the tabloid feeding frenzy surrounding his 1988 wedding to Tracy Pollan, for example, manages to be both acid and matter-of-fact. He is frank but not maudlin about his drinking problem, and he refreshingly notes that getting sober did not automatically solve all his other problems. This readable, witty autobiography reminds you why it was generally a pleasure to watch Fox onscreen: he's a nice guy with an edge, and you don't have to feel embarrassed about liking him. --Wendy Smith

                This memoir discusses Michael J. Fox's life--growing up in Canada and then becoming a national television star in the U.S. at the age of 19. Fox reveals the excess and temptations he fell into as a young star, and how with the help of his wife, Tracy Pollan, he quit drinking and drowning in self-pity. He tells of noticing the first tremors of Parkinson's disease, which he ignored; finding out at the age of 30 that he was suffering from early onset of Parkinson's; how this has affected his family and the extraordinary support they have provided him. He spent nine years hiding his condition from all but his closest family and friends. His courageous decision to go public and retire from active performing in order to devote his time to the foundation and to finding a cure for Parkinson's Disease makes up the last part of the book. Recounted in a witty and reflective fashion, Fox displays the kind of courage that has inspired the hundreds of thousands of fans who care about him.

                5 out of 5 stars Excellent book for a person with a neurological disorder.......2007-09-24

                I truly loved this book. I have been a fan of Michael J. Fox's since "Family Ties" was on. He is an awesome person and I think that he is very courageous in the way he faces his own disabilty.

                Like Mr. Fox, I also have a progressive, degenerative, incurable neurological disorder (mine is called Cerebellar Ataxia and you can add the word "genetic" to the descriptive adjectives). Some of the symptoms of his Parkinson's Disease are similiar to mine, so I can sympathize with what he is going through. He cites a book that he read when he was first diagnosed (page 146)-Elizabeth Kubler-Ross' ON DEATH AND DYING which tells about the five stages of grief (denial/isolation, anger, bargaing, depression, and acceptance). I read the book in college (for my major) and thought of it often after I was diagnosed with my brain disorder.

                Anyway-I wish to thank Mr. Fox for writing this book because I had never read about a person, like me, with a brain disorder. It was so well written, also. It is truly a literary gem.

                My book is called Dreams in August: Life, Love, and Cerebellar Ataxia

                5 out of 5 stars AMAZING.......2007-08-18

                The fact that I'm a huge fan of Michael J. Fox has no bearing on my opinion of this book. His sophisticated yet humorous outlook on life is bound to keep you entertained from start to finish. He helps the reader to understand more about what he is all about, what he went through to get where he is today, and what Parkinson's Disease really is. Michael does not write with pride or ask for pity in this text, rather he's just sharing his story from one human being to another. I HIGHLY recommend this book!!

                5 out of 5 stars Lucky for us there is a "Lucky Man".......2007-08-03

                This book is simply great. Michael J. Fox provides a clear, and very interesting look at aspects and highlights of his life with regards to his career, family, and especially his dealings with Parkinson's disease. He has great courage and is very candid. He also is a good writer and is very intelligent, but is not perfect. He reveals how he has also overcome alcoholism and his time in the Hollywood "funhouse," as he calls it to discover what really matters in life. His discovery has been aided by his struggle with Parkinson's Disease at a very young age and I believe that is why he considers himself a "lucky man." He says the ten years since Parkinson's have been the best of his life. His foundation strives to bring awareness to sufferers of Parkinson's in order to curtail discrimination and possibly foster a cure through research, especially stem-cell research, in ten years. I recommend this book to everyone, especially people suffering Parkinson's, and other devastating brain diseases. It will give them hope and encouragement. The book was so interesting I could not put it down and I read it all in about three days.

                        Book Description

                        The definition of a curmudgeon is, a surly, ill-mannered, bad-tempered person; a cantankerous fellow. Right on! My definition is somewhat altered. It?s a guy who?s become so fed up with what is happening in the world?especially in government?that he has been driven to become that cantankerous fellow.

                        The fact that our curmudgeon lies upon a couch makes him even worse. This means that his wife (if he has one?I don?t) must endure the brunt of his ranting. So, while I lean back and lay it on you, just remember: should the need arise, you can always close the book and go have a martini (if you have one?I do).

                        So, we must ask: who wants to read the rantings of a curmudgeon? Perhaps another curmudgeon (or a misanthrope?the female equivalent of our couch character), that?s who. This cantankerous couple may, in fact, enjoy having their fuel fired so that they may then rant and rave right along with the best of us.

                        Concerning subject: There are three elements of today?s world warranting a rant. One is the shape of our culture, which covers a lot of territory. Another is our communities?looked around lately? And then there is the biggie?the federal government, which easily merits a book itself. So begins the unforgettable memoir of Bud Miller.

                            This book was exactly as described. Easy to read and use. Cute projects for kids!

                            5 out of 5 stars Great Beginner Book.......2007-05-16

                            This book is perfect for a beginning seamstress. If you have a young person wanting to learn to sew, this is a great start! The book is a step by step on using the machine. I got this for my 11 year old grand daughter and it's perfect. Even could be for a younger person as very easy to follow.

                            This book rocks, per my 8 year old. She loved the practice exercises, and reads the book without help. Highly recommend it!

                            Great how to book to work through with children - good pace and keeps them interested while they are learning the very basic operation of a sewing machine. Good 'together time' activity.

                            This book is primary level, the very basics of sewing. It can be used with very young ages and should accompany the first sewing machine. I love the games and drills that will increase proficiency on machine work.

                              Book Description

                              As anyone with a spouse in uniform knows, the military offers families neither geographical stability nor guarantees of life under one roof. Those conditions make it tough to keep a marriage together, raise good kids, and maintain some semblance of normalcy, but help is on the way. Jacey Eckhart's new guide navigates readers through military life on the homefront. Aiming her advice at the wife—male spouses, she says, need their own book—she covers issues from the first day in the "fortress" to the last day the husband is piped ashore with humor and encouragement. An Air Force brat herself, Eckhart swore she would never enter the military, but married the first Navy man she dated and over the past seventeen years has raised three children, moved thirteen times, and tackled five deployments. She argues that being able to manage military life is not a secret some wives know and others don't, but rather a set of skills to be acquired.

                              Eckhart presents the realities and then offers some solutions for the married-but-single parent, starting out on the bottom rung of the career ladder with each move, and worrying if military life is hurting the kids. She helps newlyweds and long-marrieds alike better understand the people who are drawn to military service and find ways to fit into the military community without losing a sense of self. Her guide offers helpful ideas about managing the demands of a teenager during a move, finding playmates for toddlers in new neighborhoods, and even telling mothers-in-law why they shouldn't be at the homecoming. She also lists methods of finding full and part-time work. From pre-deployment work-ups through Christmas blues and post-deployment problems, Eckhart and her guide are at the homefront ready to help.

                              5 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended.......2007-05-11

                              This book is a definite must-read for any military spouse. I also recommend it for extended military family, to help them understand what life is like in the home of their servicemember. Eckhart offers good advice, much-needed encouragement and a realistic outlook. It might ruffle a few feathers on those who are more liberal or lean toward a feminist mindset. If that's you, you're probably not going to be too content as a military spouse anyway. However, one of Eckhart's points is we're all from different backgrounds, but we're in the same boat and should help each other out. That's something we should all learn to do, whether we are liberal, conservative, working, staying at home, etc.

                              I found this book to be incredibly helpful when I decided to marry my Marine. While some of what she writes is definitely Navy (ombudsman, for example) it can still be applied to any branch, by simply translating the lingo (Ombudsman into Key Volunteer for USMC). I have found this book helpful in finding a career at our new duty station in Japan (it's okay to Starbuck sometimes!), for understanding my husband when he got home from deployment, and I'm sure it will be helpful when we have children. It's nice to read a book with real stories, real life, and real lessons learned. I have learned to be a happy military wife with this book, and am forever grateful.
                              I also had the chance to meet the author when she came to my workplace where we're stationed. She's so honest and real and funny that I can't help but love the book more!
                              A definite must for the new, frustrated, or expert military wife. Everyone can use a laugh, and the knowledge they're not the only one who's life can fall apart at the seams every three years. =)

                              I loved this book! Some parts could have been written by me. It is a great look at military life for those who are just married, married forever, with or without kids. I Jacey Eckhart did a great job giving information on all branches and making this a must read.BRAVO!

                              3 out of 5 stars Navy Finacee in training.........2007-01-16

                              This book is geared toward those women who have chosen to be stay at home wives and mothers. I'm still green to the service and couldn't really apply this book to my situation. Also, this book could really stand to be separated into branches. While some information is universal ( like how to move your family across country ) other information is not ( an ombudsman is specific to the Navy) I put this book away for perhaps a future time.
