A great book!.......2006-07-05
I've been buying editions of this wonderful book as they come
out--if you fly into Colorado and rent a 4WD from Hertz, Avis,
or whatever, and want adventure--this is a great guide. The
book describes 60-odd Colorado passes "suitable" for driving.
This does not include any of the regular paved road passes,
many of which are fun, but very few of which are hair-raising.
The roads range from well-drained gravel to boulder-strewn
ruts, and the book carefully delineates exactly what kind of
vehicle is required and what conditions to expect. There are
plenty of photographs, but no topo maps (which I would strongly
recommend for some of the passes).
My interest started when I read Marshall Sprague's Great Gates,
about the Rocky Mountain Passes, and saw the description of
Tomichi Pass as "the worst shelf trail in the Rockies for man,
beast, or mountain goat". Many years later, after I had bought
The Colorado Pass Book I drove over this route--which isn't too
bad if you don't mind a very steep, off-camber narrow shelf
barely wider than my car, with a 300' sheer drop down to my right
and a sheer cliff up on the driver's side--if I had wanted to
leave my car I would have had to go out through the tailgate!
And there are even worse places, such as Black Bear/Ingram Pass
("extreme caution needed" says the Pass Book) where if you think
you know what the word "switchbacks" means, you're mistaken!
There are plenty of gentler passes described--so there are
passes suitable for almost anyone. There's a lot of great
history here--such as the rickety old wooden trestles on the
Rollins Pass road--and you come to appreciate what people did
to get to the mining areas in the late 1800's. You need to know
what you're doing here--some of the passes are over 13,000 feet
above sea level, and sometimes there are what are called "jeep
traps" where you cannot go forward or back up safely. There are
other Colorado 4WD books that cover non-pass roads as well as
passes, but this book has always been my favorite.
On Top of the World.......2003-08-30
I recently bought this book as I wanted a good guide on going up to some good mountain passes. This book is very thorough and gives great details on many of the backroad passes in Colorado. My first trip was to Jones Pass and the details in the book described the entire trip perfectly! I couldn't be happier with this book and I highly reccomend it. I am looking forward to my next mountain pass trip!

A must-have book for Colorado 4x4 adventurists.......1998-07-17
Don Koch divides this book into geographic areas corresponding to Colorado's major mountain ranges. Each section outlines mountain passes within that section. Each of these passes are independantly revieved. Their locations, starting points, points of interest, difficulty, scenic interest and historic interest are given. He goes on to describe in detail for each pass his personal experiences on that pass and what you can expect. Also, he gives important hints about what to look out for and particular safety precautions for each particular pass as well as the side trails which spur off. I use this book as a reference manual on and off the trails and suggest anyone heading to the Colorado Rockys to buy this book. Many passes can be traversed via car/light truck and some require 4 wheel drive. This book will let you know which ones.
Book Description
A stunning new biography that will put previous and current Napoleonic biographies in the shade. It is the single-volume account of Napoleon's whole career.
Puts to rest some of the myths surrounding Napoleon. His research is sound, his scholarship outstanding and his historical analysis well thought out; his account is a fine blend of scholarship and story telling. Ben Weider, President, International Napoleonic Society; author, Assassination at St. Helena Revisited
J. David Markham, a leading Napoleonic expert and an international writer and lecturer, brings the Emperor to life in an accurate, well-researched text that will be accessible to all, with extensive footnotes to aid further study.
Markham's insight makes this book very enjoyable reading. John G. Gallaher, President, Napoleonic Alliance; author, The Iron Marshal
Far more than a simple recitation of facts, Markham provides excellent historical analysis, explaining why Napoleon made his decisions, and what their consequences were.
David Markham has given the man and the events a totally original and new spin that is a veritable tour de force. Prince Gregory Troubetzkoy, International Napoleonic Society; author, In the Service of the Tsar: The Memoirs of Denis Davidov, 1806-1814
If you read only one book on Napoleon, Napoleon's Road to Glory should be that book.

THE bio on Napoleon!.......2006-02-18
Napoleon's Road to Glory is a well-written and well-researched biography that could easily replace Felix Markham's classic biography of the French emperor to become the new standard biography of Napoleon I. One important way that David Markham, unlike the earlier Markham, improves upon the presentation of the older biography is by supplying numerous endnotes that provide readers with reference points for future research into certain key and fascinating aspects of Napoleon's compelling life. Moreover, David Markham's book does not suffer from the problems of obvious authorial bias that plague books such as Alan Schom's Napoleon Bonaparte.
I am especially pleased to see that he included sections on Napoleon's religious policies and vision of European unity (highlighted even more in his Napoleon for Dummies), as well as comparisons of Napoleon to earlier leaders like Alexander the Great. David Markham provides an overview of Napoleon's settlement with the Catholic Church, including an overview of the background of the situation inherited by Napoleon before Markham addresses how Napoleon sought to resolve the religious divisions of the French Revolution. Moreover, Markham, who bases most of his material on Napoleon and the Jews from Ben Weider's work, explains that Napoleon's proclamation declaring Palestine an independent Jewish state even served as part of David Ben Gurion's argument that the United Nations should recognize Israel in 1947, roughly one hundred and fifty years after Napoleon planned to issue his proclamation! Markham reminds us that Napoleon was after many kinds of peace: domestic, foreign, and religious.
Napoleon reopened the University of Pavia and granted its professors liberal stipends. In 1808, he created the Academic Palms as a reward for excellence in teaching. In Napoleon's Road to Glory, Markham describes Napoleon's improvements to Paris and other cities in France, Italy, and Switzerland as a parallel to the public works projects initiated by Julius Caesar. David Markham seconds Geoffrey Ellis's designation as the consular period as a Pax Napoleonica. As Markham puts it, if Napoleon "were Caesar, then the Consulate was his Pax Romana even in the years when there was no actual peace." Markham adds that some "consider the Consulate to have been something of a golden age of French culture . . ."
The what if?'s of history also abound in this book, as does the logic behind Napoleon's foreign policy. Readers learn, for example, that a report published "by Colonel Sébastiani . . . suggested that France could easily retake Egypt" and Markham explains Napoleon`s desire to keep the Belgian departments, because much "of Belgium is French-speaking and had always been seen as a potential part of France." And imagine the consequences had Napoleon married a Russian bride and managed to avoid invading the Russian Empire in the year following the appearance of the above quotation! Instead, the Franco-Russian alliance rapidly collapsed in such an extreme fashion that in a proclamation to his troops in 1812, Tsar Alexander cited "difference of religion" as one of the reasons why Russian peasants now consider themselves as Napoleon's "irreconcilable enemies." What is more, the king of Naples turned on Napoleon following Napoleon's defeat at Leipzig in 1813, because Marshal Murat "feared that Napoleon had expressed a resolution to . . . incorporate Naples with the kingdom of Italy."
I have graded many history assignments in my academic career at two universities and were I to assign a grade to this impressive volume, I would overwhelmingly give the book a solid A+!
Agree strongly with previous reviewer.......2005-10-27
I'm giving this book 4 stars (average of 5 stars for readibility and interest, 3 stars for critical reasoning). I can't agree more with the previous reviewer's comments; though an immensely enjoyable book to read, I was very disappointed with the lack of any serious or credible critique of the remarkable Napoleon. The book appears to be well researched, but I was left with nagging doubts over some conclusions and statements that -I believe -should have been examined more thoroughly or with a more critical analysis regarding Napoleon.
David Markham clearly has a passion and love of things Napoleon. I'd most certainly recommend this book as a very good read and is very well written.
Cheerleading as History.......2005-01-11
First let me concede some of the compliments other readers have paid this book. It is easy to read, concise, and thoroughly researched. Three stars: C level work. It is not, however, very strong history. That is not to say that I picked out anything that was incorrect or even misleading, but instead it seems that Markham's obvious infatuation with Napoleon leads him to be unable to ask hard questions about his hero. More demanding readers, much less those who are critical of Napoleon's legacy, will walk away from this book unsatisfied. This is a book written by a "Napoleonic Society of America" member for others of that same group.
Napoleon was of course subject to horrible and fictitious slander. His position and long sustained success bred bitter enemies, and we shouldn't fall into the trap of believing their deionizations. Still, Markham comes dangerously close to going to the opposite extreme. He uniformly portrays Napoleon as peace loving and well intentioned. Criticisms of Napoleon are raised in as little as a sentence and dismissed just as quickly. The book never asks hard questions.
Take, for example, Markham's explanation of why peace never managed to break out during Napoleon's time. It was always England that "wanted war." Wanting war! After WWI the terms of peace laid blame for the war at Germany's doorstep. These days we are more likely to say the great tragedy of that same war is that it seems none of Europe's leaders truly wanted it. Or how about the Cuban missile crisis? Over 13 days the world's greatest powers almost destroyed themselves. Which side wanted war? The US? The Soviets? Reducing wars of this magnitude to simple desire on the part of one side or the other is facile. There are deep personal, political, and strategic issues at work that must be understood.
Markham makes little effort to contribute to that understanding. Instead he simply says that the English could not tolerate French possession of Antwerp. Very well, then if Napoleon is as committed to peace as Markham would have us believe, why did he not surrender the city or come to some other accord? Markham simply states that the French would not tolerate that. Little more is offered. "Why" plays a small part in the analysis. Still, it seems that Napoleon's ultimate downfall in great part hinged on this decision from both sides of the channel. Delving into this issue and others, at least for a page or two, would have been worth while.
That lack of analysis makes Markham more of a reporter of old news than a historian. Moreover, his presentation of the facts becomes suspect because he is so clearly enamored with his subject.
Read this book if want to feel good about Napoleon, but go elsewhere if you want to probe below the surface.
Splendid.......2004-01-31
David Markham has written a wonderfully descriptive book that is great fun to read; I couldn't put it down. This fine work effortlessly interweaves Napoleon's life as a political figure/ruler with his adventures and conquests on the battlefield and in the bedroom. "Napoleon's Road to Glory," filled with unusual rare art, includes colorful revelations about his love for Empresses Josephine and Marie-Louise, as well as his relationships with a succession of mistresses. A terrific gift -- perfect for collectors as well as anyone interested in a clear, comprehensive overview of Napoleon's life and career. Includes exciting, vivid descriptions of the "little Corporal's" victories at Marengo, Austerlitz and other battles. Just don't start reading this at bedtime, like I did, if you expect to get any sleep.
Diana Haig - author of "Walks Through Napoleon and Josephine's Paris"
Very good book!.......2003-08-27
Along with lots of publications on Napoleon and his time currently on the market, this is very good analysis and scientific approach to the subject. What is most important, the book is written in very easy language, and it is a pleasure to read. Mr. Markham has definitely done his homework; his source table is very extensive and useful for further references. More importantly, the author supplemented his research with actual documents and artifacts from his own collection, which is rare in this days and therefore more valid. I would like to recommend this book to anyone interested in Napoleon and his times - moreover it would be nice to bring it over to as many readers as possible and perhaps to translate it to other languages.
This book should be at every Napoleonic scholar library!
Book Description
1935. Austin's first novel of young Napoleon covers the Emperor's first Italian campaign and his campaign for Josephine. Basil Liddell Hart, one of the greatest ever military strategists, wrote: It carries one along at so breathless a pace that it is only when one pauses for analysis that one realizes the immense amount of knowledge that is woven into it. I wish it all the success it deserves. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.

Amazing, heartfelt and encouraging.......2005-08-30
After contemplating single parent adoption (I'm a 39 yo guy) this book has cemented the awesome choice that I'm about to make. The author details the long and hard road he took to be united with his little boy. It details his experiences with the massive bureaucracy BOTH in Russia and the United States along with the subtle and unfair suspicious stigma single males encounter by some adoption agencies and social workers. I recommed this book highly for all single men thinking about adoption.
I Couldn't Put This Down!.......2004-02-12
I've never stayed up until three in the morning to read an entire book... I was bleary-eyed this morning, but Klose's story has kept me motivated all day... I, too, am a single man and have been considering adoption as a way to grow my own family... There is so very little written about single men who want to adopt children specifically, and I'm so glad I found this book, and I did so completely by accident... Klause is an swesome storyteller - his descriptions of his environments (both external and internal) were so vivid I felt like I was righit there with him - in his backyard in Maine, on the airplane going to Russia, and in the little ram-shakle house that Aloysha lived in... It was a very visual story - it unfolded like a movie...This is an emotional roller-coaster ride of a story, plowing thru pracitally every emotion on the human scale... In the scene when little Aloysha first looks to Klose and asks, "Papa?", my heart just about popped... Great as a travelogue, an instruction manual, and an inspirational story on how a single man can create a family... Click on "Add to cart" and BUY THIS BOOK!!!!
Klose has the gift for writing and living.......2002-08-09
I received this book with low expectations considering previous tactical books I had read on the subject. It stopped me in my tracks.
I was so impressed by Robert's literary style and story-telling ability. He allows us to go through the entire process and share very personal emotions --discovering with him important lessons for anyone involved in international adoption. The frustrations and bureaucracy encountered are almost overwhelming, but well worth it. I loved this book. I would highly recommend it to anyone considering international adoption--single or married. However, I would also recommend it to anyone who would enjoy an inspirational true story about a man and a boy half-way accross the world who seemed destined to be family. I promise it will change your perspective on adoption and what it means to love. All we need now is the sequel. Thanks Robert for living and telling your story.
(One more thought, if I were a TV producer, it would make a great Sunday Night Movie)
One of the Best.......2002-04-23
I knew the book would be good, but had no idea it would effect me so profoundly--it brought tears to eyes--such passion and compassion in this man and his quest for a son. You'll be the edge of your seat throughout the book. What determination this man has, what insight and strength of character to follow through despite the many obstacles he managed to tackle. I want more!!!!When is the next book coming out? This is must read for anyone who loves children, who is intersted in adoption or anyone who has challenges and needs inspiration!!!
A tough road to a happy ending............2002-03-05
Robert Klose's book is a detailed account of the bureacratic hurdles he faced as a single man wanting to adopt a child into his life. He simply wanted a son -- to give a young boy a loving, safe home. But no one made this journey easy. As you follow along through the months and years with Klose, you find yourself thoroughly supporting this man, cheering with him whenever snippets of progress occur. Klose's writing style makes it easy to journey with him. He paints the picture perfectly. Through his story I felt his anger, his disappointment, his resignation to the endless requests for money, and his immediate love for a beautiful Russian boy when he first set eyes upon Alyosha. Read this book. You'll agree that this world is a better place because of men like Klose.

Not your grandma's knitting book!.......2007-02-06
This is an inspiring book, full of color and unconventional design. The photography is delightful, giving a feel of the farm where the yarn company is based, and there is remarkable variety in the patterns--everything from a felted blanket to the most delicate lace. The directions are very clear and easy to follow, even when somewhat unconventional. A very appealing book to fill even the most jaded knitter with excitement and remind them why they started knitting in the first place.
The greatest.......2007-01-30
Inspiring, practical and original. This book gives a diverse, reachable variety of patterns. With delightful photography showing a climate I am unsed to this book is a true delight. I have dabbled in woollen crafts for some decades, not only knitting but formerly spinning, though I have done no dyeing this book positively starts the mind whirring and the fingers itching to get started on some of the many ideas. Delightful philosophy interspersus the descriptions of Morehouse Farm life with original knitting ideas including a man's sweater knitted from the neck down! Starting with knitted cushion covers, and covers the concept of felting. This book is an utter delight.
More than I really wanted to know about sheep.......2006-07-31
I would have preferred more patterns and less information about the Morehouse Farm animals. If I wanted to know about sheep, I'd buy a book on sheep. The patterns themselves are nothing new or earth shattering.
If you like to make cute mittens for children and the young at heart, there are at least 1/2 dozen in this book.
Otherwise, not much to write home about, as my mother used to say.
Love it for it's simplicity.......2006-07-13
While I am compelled to agree with the reviewers who feel that this book is very basic, I can't help but love it for the simplicity of it's patterns. There are no fancy techniques required of the patterns in this book and there is no call for the inclusion of novelty yarns and trendy patterns; Merino Knits is a back-to-basics series of patterns for people who want to create useful and timeless knitted garments and items. The fact that the book features only Morehouse Farm merino yarns is a selling point for any knitter who has worked with, and fallen in love with, these dreamy, buttery yarns. The photography is elegant and the insider's glimpse into Morehouse Farm is a real treat. I adore this book because it reminded me of the beauty of simple knits, something which I needed after being inundated with countless uber-trendy books and patterns.
Love the lace.......2006-06-11
For me the book is worth having for the lace patterns alone. I've always loved lace yarn and have a lot of it, but do not have the time or patience to knit complicated patterns for lace shawls and scarves. This book has 5 shawl/scarf patterns plus a laceweight pouch pattern that look easy to do yet are more than just a simple garter stitch. Before I even finished looking through the book I cast on the Huck Lace Shawl.
Besides the lace, there are some really cute kids designs - especially the mittens that look like little bugs.
I'm really glad I bought this book.
Book Description
A Colorful Photographic Tribute to the Gardens Celebrated in Monet's Paintings
Claude Monet found inspiration in the rose-covered trellises, the wild ramble of nasturtiums, and the idle drift of water lilies in the gardens of Giverny outside Paris. So, too, did Stephen Shore, who photographed the gardens one hundred years later, upon their painstaking restoration to the state they had enjoyed during Monet's lifetime.
Originally commissioned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art to photograph the renaissance of the gardens, Shore visited Giverny over a period of six years beginning in 1977. Going before dawn and leaving after dusk, visiting in different seasons, he came to know the gardens in all the moods and textures that nurtured Monet.
"With the sensitivity of a poet, Stephen Shore has given a new interpretation of this garden, which so enchanted Claude Monet," writes Gerald Van Der Kamp, the man in charge of spearheading the careful revival of Monet's beloved gardens. Shore's uncompromising fidelity to both the gardens' plenitude and his desire to present the abstract beauty of nature results in exquisitely serene photographs that express the essence of Giverny.

Book Description
'Brkic digs for sometimes distant, sometimes recenthistory, putting her findings into beautiful and poetic language that conjures up lively imagery.'-San Francisco Chronicle When she was twenty-three years old, Courtney Angela Brkic joined a UN-contracted forensic team in eastern Bosnia. Unlike many aid workers, Brkic was drawn there by her family history, and although fluent in the language, she was advised to avoid letting local workers discover her ethnicity. Her passionate narrative of establishing a morgue in a small town and excavating graves at Srebenica is braided with her family's remarkable history in what was once Yugoslavia. The Stone Fields, deeply personal and wise, asks what it takes to prevent the violent loss of life, and what we are willing to risk in the process.

An Exquisite Memoir--Alan M. Rochlin, Bethesda, Maryland.......2004-12-18
In this beautifully written memoir Courtney Brkic describes her work as a forensic anthropologist in Bosnia in the days following the massacre of thousands in the recent war. It is her mission to bear witness-to give faces and voices to the innocent victims of ethnic strife. She does so with anger and compassion, in prose that is luminous and haunting.
In counterpoint to the tragic events of recent years Brkic presents a lyrical reminiscence in the chronicle of her Croatian father's extraordinary family, played against the region's tragic history.
A must-read, this book is the work of a gifted writer and poet, and it succeeds on many levels. It is a daughter's tribute to her family, an author's plea for justice in the wake of unspeakable events, and a transcendent work of art.
An insightful if sorrowful reading experience.......2004-09-18
"The Stone Fields" places a human face on the dry remnants of the slaughter that occurred in Bosnia-Herzogovina in the nineties. Ms. Brkic not only knows where the bodies are buried; she has the talent to make the reader perceive them as people. The reader sees and feels the author's own engagement with the remnants of these victims as she goes about her work as a member of the forensic team, excavating bodies, assisting pathologists in conducting autopsies, and arranging personal effects for photographing.
But she doesn't stop there. In a rarely accomplished feat of courage and candor, Ms. Brkic integrates her own relationships with her father, who was born in Croatia, her mother and brother, and with her aunts who are still living in Zagreb. An especially poignant part of the book describes the love that was not to last between Ms. Brkic and a young disturbed soldier from "the edge" of Herzegovina.
Perhaps the most arresting and exhilarating and hearbreaking part of the story is the deep, abiding affection between Ms. Brkic's Catholic grandmother, Andelka, and her Jewish lover, Joseph, who died in a Nazi concentration camp.
This book reminds us that the most precious human qualities, like loyalty and compassion and love, exist in the midst of genocide and in its aftermath.
An informative book that lacks direction.......2004-09-10
I found the book informative but a bit meandering. Other than describing the sensations of working at a mass grave there was not real informative science or political explaination on what she was doing. I would also liked to have seen more back ground regarding the Serb, Croat and Bosnian conflict. It is explained that Serbs are responsible for mass murder in the last few years but was less forthcoming about the Croation facists that worked with the Nazis to exterminate the Serbs, Jews and Gypsies. Although alluded to, it is not clear. I also thought the flashbacks were poorly integrated and did little add to the story line.
