Where is the new one?.......2007-01-11

I buy and Access guide for any city which I am about to visit. I have found their reviews to be topnotch.

I wish they would publish and updated guide to Santa Fe!

ACCESS Guides are the BEST!.......2003-03-29

I always find the ACCESS Guides to be the best travel guides overall, and look for them whenever I am about to travel to a new location. So far, I have used their guides to Alb/SantaFe/Taos, Seattle, Montreal/Quebec City, Phoenix, San Francisco, Hawaii, San Diego, and London.

I like their format - they are organized by neighborhoods, so you don't have to seach around through the book all day; and they have an empasis on restaurants and shopping, which I find the other guides don't give enough info on and which are my FAVORITE activities when travelling. Also their print is large, clear, and color coded, which also makes it easy to find what you want (restaurants in one color, shopping in another, tourist sites in another).

Book Description

In THE LINCOLN NO ONE KNOWS, Webb Garrison focused his life-long study of Abraham Lincoln upon the mysteries that continue to bewilder those who try to understand the man. If Lincoln was against slavery, why did he countermand early efforts to free slaves? How did this high-income attorney become packaged as the "rail-splitter candidate: for president?

Customer Reviews:

Who *is* the real Lincoln, anyway ?.......2003-02-07

This book is an excellent addition to anyone's library of books about this critical figure in American history. Unlike some reviewers, I actually bought, and read this book, and bothered to research some of the authors surprising assertions.

It amazes me how hysterical and insulting people will get when faced with facts about something contrary to what they are familiar with. So many Lincoln quotes, for instance, have long been known to be sheer fabrication; mythology, simply untrue and not originating from Lincoln at all. So many assertions about Lincoln's intentions and beliefs have been made that are utterly contrary to what Lincoln himself said and wrote. As with any historical figure, there are people that idolize and create myths, and there are those who are real historians, who actually do their homework. This book is a product of the work of a person in the latter category.

Shocking and contrary to what we were told as school children about Lincoln, the story of the real Lincoln is much more interesting and base than the myth makers would have us believe. Lincoln was, after all, a politician, a Statist, and a Federalist. He declared martial law, took away citizens basic constitutional rights, jailed newspaper reporters and statesmen that disagreed with him, and went against the founding father's explicit intentions as well as the Constitution and Bill of Rights in creating a massive, unrestricted, powerful centralized federal government. Lincoln, as it turns out, was no saint after all. The real story is always grittier and more interesting than the fantasy. If you want a taste of the real Lincoln, and if you are capable of dealing with some unpleasant facts about the man and the legend, read this book, it's a good start.

An Engaging Look.......2002-09-16

Some may find the book ofensive.As Lincoln is one of the greatest American Presidents and heros of all time,but I think to read this book you need to keep an open mind.
Pople I think do not like for when histrorians and such dig through his hstory and prefer to enjoy the egnima that the man we all love is known today.
Having said that I would be weary reading this book if you have not read or done lots of resarch on the man.
I give this book three stars mostly becaouse I knew alot of the information that the book had ,but the point of view the author was giving was intersting.

Vitriolic, spiteful and disproven claims.......1999-08-23

I have not bought this book as I would not let one penney fall into Garrison's pocket, but I've perused this volume heavily. I wish that I could have given it 0 stars. The author is an unreconstructed Confederate who, whenever there is a remotely possible sinister way of interpreting Lincoln's actions, prefers to submit that view rather than acknowledge the findings of recognized scholars' research. For example, he claims that Lincoln is responsible for the creation of the "Imperial Presidency", making possible the abuses of Nixon, Vietnam, etc. But he does not show that Lincoln's powers were often balanced by a war conduct committee, that the Presidency went on to lose considerable authority and esteem in the Reconstruction years, and that Lincoln himself acknowledged that, except in the case of national emergencies, as the Civil War was viewed, the President lacked powers to do many things (like the Emancipation Proclamation). Garrison also blames Lincoln for being uncompromising and contends, without proof, that the Confederacy's desire to continue as a separate nation would have faded, if allowed, resulting in reunification. But most scholars acknowledge that the individual states would have sooner seceded even further into smaller nations, and that other states in the Union would have found reason to secede into new confederacies. Thus, as I've said, Garrison's trash has been disproven yet he pretends as though it has not even been noticed by scholars. It is the vitriolic spite of an unenlightened Confederate clinging to the bitterness of ancestors. This book should be relegated to the heap of trash-writing never to be recovered.

Book Description

"A period of grace usually accompanies the birth of a child. For a fleeting and sacred whisper of time, joy swaddles a newborn so tightly that those who love the child refuse to see or imagine that he is anything but perfect," observes Jeanne McDermott in Babyface. But when McDermott's second son, Nathaniel, is born with Apert syndrome-a craniofacial condition so rare that it occurs in 1 out of 100,000 births-there is no denying he looks different. He has a tall head, bulging brow, mitten fingers, and webbed toes.

McDermott's intelligent and poignant memoir offers an intimate look at how her ideas of perfection and wholeness were turned upside down. It reveals much more than the countless visits and consultations with doctors and several harrowing surgeries that Nate needs in infancy. As an experienced science journalist and the mother of a child who is deeply loved but never anticipated or imagined, McDermott explores her circumstances on many levels: Her own and her family's emotional survival; genetic and ethical questions regarding disability; beliefs about beauty; and what it means to be human.

McDermott's experience will resonate with other families who have been to the outskirts of normal. She grapples with intense fears about her son's future, reactions to staring, and feelings of isolation and loss. But Babyface also speaks to everyone about the transforming powers of love and the breath-taking exaltation of being alive. It's what her heart tells her that is ultimately most rewarding for McDermott.

This is a compelling invitation to share in the author's inspiring if "unsettling knowledge that some of what we most treasure in life are things that we might never choose." It's an invitation no reader will regret accepting.

Customer Reviews:

Amazing!.......2006-10-29

Babyface: A warm read.......2005-09-03

The book was in excellent shape and was received within 2 days! The book is wonderful by the way, a warm read.

Babyface: Inspiring Account of Mother's Love and Devotion.......2004-02-17

Jeanne McDermott paints an inspiring portrait of her own family, forced to understand and live with the trials and hardships that accompany a child born with Apert Syndrome. She tells the story of Nathaniel with grace and candor informing the reader along the way with insights into the medical, genetic and developmental aspects of this condition. I cried with her pain and embraced her joys through the trials and triumphs of this journey. For anyone who has had a child born with a medical condition this is a must read.

ELOQUENT!!!.......2003-04-04

I love this book. My 2 1/2 year old son went through four surgeries in his life time and I can so relate to the recall of ICU's and operating rooms. My son also has a form of dwarfism and will be different. I love her philosophy, so much peace and forgiveness to stranger's rudeness! She has so eloguently speak of the growth that any parent of child with differences have experienced. Babyface will be kept close to my heart forever and I recommend this book to all parents who are struggling with the challenge of bring up a child with a difference. In time, you too will gather the strength and peace demonstrated so well and articulated by Ms. McDermott.

A great book for ALL parents.......2001-09-19

This book is not just for parents of children with special needs. The lessons learned by the author and her family and the details of their struggle are beautifully written. Reading this book nudges the reader to think about the blessings of children and the trials of daily life in a new way. A wonderful, inspiring book!

Book Description

Their names sound as exotic as the blossoms they produce - gloxinias, tigridias, sprekelias - and only begin to hint at the exciting world of color and fragrance that awaits those who venture beyond the local garden center's bins of tulips and daffodils. And while their names may not exactly roll off the tongue, tender bulbs share one key advantage of their better-known relatives: simplicity. Everything required to produce strikingly beautiful blooms comes in a convenient package just waiting for the proper conditions to grow and flourish, returning year after year, provided some basic conditions are met. Tender bulbs are tailor-made for the modern gardener who is always looking for something new to grow, yet who may lack the time or space to maintain elaborate flower beds. These bulbs thrive in containers and quickly fill small areas with a profusion of unusual and strikingly beautiful flowers. The text is accompanied by gorgeous and practical full-color photographs.

It makes use of an extensive range of printed sources to show the reactions to his visit, his personality and his reign by contemporaries and by succeeding generations of journalists, biographers, poets and dramatists, as well as by painters and engravers.
