Book Description

A detailed guide to more than 100 rides in every biker's dream country--the canyons, dunes, and mountains of Utah and Colorado. In recent years the Rocky Mountain West has become one of the nation's most popular destinations for road and mountain bikers. The national parks in the area, long known for their dramatic scenery and wildness, offer bicyclists unparalleled opportunities to enjoy their sport in the rugged beauty of Colorado's mountains and the sculpted sandstone of Utah's canyons. Reading like a lineup of the most prized biking destinations, this guide features rides in Arches, Zion, Bryce Canyon, and Rocky Mountain National Parks. In addition, Alley introduces her readers to lesser known destinations such as Dinosaur National Monument, the Great Sand Dunes, Natural Bridges National Monument, and Timpanogos Cave--all places with outstanding rides and stories that tell about our past. Whether guiding bikers along old frontier trails, up mountains on rugged dirt tracks, or along the miles of slickrock in the Canyonlands, Alley offers something for all riders. Tours range in length from a short spin to over 100 miles. Each ride description includes a detailed map, tour directions, information about the trail or road surface, sites you'll see along the way, and the length and difficulty of the ride. In addition, a trip-planning appendix for each park tells you where to stay or camp, do your laundry, eat, buy supplies, and repair or rent a bike.

* 103 rides are decribed and mapped in detail
* The first and only guide of its kind for this area
* Part of the new national series: Bicycling America's National Parks
* Includes professional color photographs of the parks

Book Description

1920. Dr. Hill's present work brings Lincoln before us as a man, splendid in his strength of purpose, unshaken by popular clamor, humane, sympathetic, and farseeing; a man who understood and appreciated the problems of life, the passions and the weaknesses of his fellow men, strong because of his trials and triumphs; a great leader - so great as to be without jealousy; humble, because of his knowledge and experience, forgetful of self in his desire to best serve his country and mankind.

If you really want information on the big bands, this is not your book. There is a lot of information on the sex lives of big band leaders but even more info on the slights suffered by the author.
Even the pictures are an attempt to show how important Bernie Woods was, including one of his golf foursome.

Customer Reviews:

Somewhat convoluted.......2005-02-16

I ordered this book after listening to an interview with the author. The stories of the various musicians and performances were somewhat endearing but there wasn't anything to tie them together. In some ways the book reads like a textbook - very factual and precise but then segues into anectdotes and childhood memories. Perhaps it is Cottle's bias as Gradova's son that fuels his need to pontificate the minutia of his family couch. This book does get better as you read but it certainly is heavier on detail than I expected and is in serious need of editing.

Beautiful Book.......2004-05-17

This is a story about a fascinating woman, the writer's mother Gitta Gradova, a brilliant pianist who--after all kinds of pressures and for all kinds of reasons--stopped performing publicly in order to raise her family. Her son has brought her back to life on the pages of this book along with her dozens of brilliant celebrated friends and colleagues. That's not the half of it, though.
This writer, an experienced and articulate student of human nature whose background in psychology has--somehow--not dulled his personal honesty, takes the oppurtunity to explore the landscape of children and parents as children grow up, the motives of artists in general and of his mother in particular, the conflict all talented women face as their children are born, and the nature of performance of all kinds. Cottle's tangential discussions of the nature of art--rich with thought and examples--are more complete, provocative and loving than many books devoted to the subject.
This is a book about art and a book about family showing the balance between the two that all artists most somehow find. It's a book about women and their sons, about the sacrifices and frictions of life here on earth, and ultimately about all of us.

Book Description

Like a brilliant sunrise, Patti Wright's smile lifted the spirits of everyone she met along life's way. Her piano came to life as she transformed its silent keys into a unique musical interpretation that could warm the soul. As a wife of twenty-four years and a mother of twenty, everything seemed perfect. Then a cruel enemy entered the scene. It had no face, no personal identity, no visible weapon. ALS, Lou Gehrig's Disease, had entered Patti's body without anyone knowing.

A brutal first wave of attack destroyed her ability to make music, as if deliberately attempting to crush her spirit. Over the next three and a half years, she gradually lost control of one muscle group after another, until only breathing remained. Yet, ALS never broke her spirit. She smiled to the end, and may have impacted as many people in death as she did in life. When the Music Stopped is a remarkable story of faith and courage in the face of incredible challenges.

Customer Reviews:

When The Music Stopped.......2004-07-01

When The Music Stopped was a heart-wrenching book, as the reader could feel the helplessness and hopelessness in each stage and step along the way of this disease. As a "veteran" caregiver myself, I could certainly empathize with Mr. Wright. When a loved one is terminally ill, many try to find the "magic bullet" to cure such disease. We all know there's usually no such thing as a magic bullet, but we can't help but grasp for any straw that might prolong our loved one's life even if only for a few days. A terminal illness is a roller coaster ride that takes one on such highs and lows and the end result is always the same.

Inspirational, against all odds.......2004-06-08

This is a MUST read, even for those of us who haven't had a loved one with ALS!! Mike Wright is an inspiration to us all and his stuggles are some we all can relate with. Thanks to him for getting more information out there for ALS families. May God bless him richly!

Facing ALS With Faith and Courage.......2004-03-23

"When the Music Stopped" is the touching story of the faith and courage of Patti, a beautiful and talented woman with ALS, (Lou Gehrig's Disease) and an "ordinary man's journey " of 3 ½ years as her caregiver. Mike Wright tells his story with compassion, startling honesty and humor. The reader shares the impact that this devastating terminal illness has on every aspect of life. The author's objective is "to encourage those who must walk a similar path.."

Unlike "Tuesdays With Morrie" this book deals with the 24/7 challenges that the caregiver faces as one muscle group after another fails. Wright gives many practical and creative ways he found to deal with the constantly changing needs that ALS presents. Anticipating Patti's needs was one of his greatest challenges. The author gives suggestions to caregivers such as: "picking your battles, pace yourself, sleep a moment at a time, cry if you need to, and share laughter."

Wright emphasized the importance of accepting help when you need it. He describes a group of 15 friends he called Patti's Angels who assumed the caregiver roll in the afternoons so he could work part time.

Admitting that the physical and emotional exhaustion was often overwhelming for both of them they found that a sense of humor was a key to survival. Wright describes his first awkward attempts at learning how to put on panty house and apply makeup. Helping Patti to try on clothes in a cramped ladies dressing room in the mall when she was unable to move her arms or stand without assistance provided laughs for months to come. Humor helped the couple deal with many difficult situations.

The Wright's college aged son and teenaged daughter each wrote a chapter describing how they coped with their mother's terminal illness. Their honesty mirrors that of their father.

The book describes the grief process following the death of Patti
and the difficult road to recovery ending with his remarriage four years later.
This book is not only an inspiring story of a courageous woman but it's a tribute to her caregiver who was anything but ordinary.

Book Description

The 25 color plates and 60 black-and-white illustrations offer readers a rare close look at this little-known and endangered group of insects. Three appendixes list all known flower-visiting records, all hymenopteran visitors to the flowers included in the pollination chapter, and all published species names for Masarinae. Pollen wasps are of interest to a wide range of scholars (including entomologists, ethologists, ecologists, and evolutionary biologists) because of their close associations with flowering plants and because of the ability of certain species to produce silk for nest building--an intriguing case of convergent evolution. For these readers, and for students of natural history and proponents of species preservation, The Pollen Wasps will prove an invaluable resource.

I am a self taught seamstress and I love this book to use as a reference manual. It is comprehensive but easy to understand. This book would be good for a beginner Great Book.

Sewing for beginners.......2007-09-21

It has been a number of years since I sat down at a sewing machine. I definitely needed this extra help to get me reacquainted with using my sewing machine as well as sewing a outfit.

Use with Prudence.......2007-06-18

No book on the how-to of sewing will make anyone a sewer. Still, this work is one one to have perched close to the sewing machine. That is, it's a good reference work for the active seamtress who has questions on technique.

Half-way through the book is some glossy photography displaying the end results of "patternless sewing" -- kiminos, skirts, sleveless tops, ponchos, and tote bags. Ideally, as Ms. Soto states, these projects, and their detailed instructions, are for those polishing rusting sewing skills. Indeed, it would be a daunting task, for any sewer to do the measuring and cutting directly on the fabric. For anyone trying this patternless sewing, take the time to make a paper pattern from the measurements presented in the book!

Good for all beginning and refreshing skills.......2007-06-02

I purchased this book and have been using it like crazy. I used to sew many years ago, it it is refreshing my memory on many ways and tips. I have the spiral edition and love how it just stays open to the page I need. It covers many different things and ways to do your sewing. I would highly recommend this book to anyone!

an ok reference book.......2007-02-03

It's a good reference for basic techniques but it is lacking in more detailed information on techniques that I was interested in. I do 95% of my sewing by hand and was a little disappointed to find that they only provide machine instruction for buttonholes. The book suggests, if you are unsuccessful in making the buttonholes yourself, to have your machine looked at (in case it's the problem) or to have someone else make them for you (the book even states, "most of your sewing will be done at the machine"). For hooks and eyes they recommend tacking them on, that's it. Depending on where you are placing them you may need to do more than just tack them in place or they are likely to work loose and fall off. The book also suggests, for hand sewing, that you use a length of thread no more than 18" to prevent tangling. I use a strand two arm-lengths. There is a simple way to manage long lengths of thread, it's effective in reducing the amount of tangling. The book also recommends, for hand sewing to draw the thread through beeswax. It's my understanding that if you get too much wax on the thread it can stain your project. In the middle of the book they have full color photos of projects you can make, though projects are at the end of the book (before the index). I would have preferred that those pages were at the back with the actual projects. I've torn them out as I felt they were an annoyance.

I think it's an otherwise book "basic" book.

Covers the basics..........2005-09-26

I really like this book - granted, I wouldn't duplicate the exact styles in the book (it screams 1980s), but I know what styles I like, I just needed some guidance on how to make what I wanted to make. This book covers everything - window coverings, bed linens, etc. My only complaint is that sometimes the directions are SO simplified that it almost makes them confusing. But overall it was a great purchase. Also, I almost bought this book at a craft store close by, but ended up buying it on Amazon...with standard shipping it came two days later and was less expensive than the one at the craft store.

Excellent How-To Book.......2005-07-16

If you are interested in making your own home fabrics, this is a great resource. This book shows you step-by-step how to make no-sewing and simple sewing projects to personalize your home (and save money to boot!). This is not an interior decorating book; rather, it is a manual for people who want to spruce up their homes but need to know HOW. I didn't see any outdated information here - some of the styles were more "country" than others, but there is plenty here from other design styles to keep you busy. Also, you can tailor the majority of the ideas in this book to your tastes. All in all, a fantastic guide to sewing projects for the home.

Look at the design not the fabric!.......2002-10-21

When I got this book, I immediately noticed the value of the information offered. It has tons of details from fabric choices to what kind of tools to purchase. In the back it even offers "time saving" features which gives you ideas to use fabric in different ways from walls to glueing seams together to save time on sewing. The book places a lot of emphasis on certain things that beginners NEED to know. I am a beginner and have poured over tons of other books and nothing compares to this book in terms of teaching you how to do different techniques. Certainly, the fabric choices in this book are outdated, but use your imagination! You don't have to purchase the same fabric or color choices in this book. Purchase your own and use the outlines offered in this book. Even add your own. A great book to start with. Highly recommended!

Simplicity's Simply the Best Home Decorating Book.......2002-08-01

I think that this book is fantastic. It covers so many different home decorating projects, with very clear easy to follow instructions. It's a great addition to any home sewing reference library.

Not a good buy.......2002-02-27

I'm sorry I bought this book. Opening it was like walking back in time. I did not know how old it was until I had already bought the book. The how-to is OK but the decorating ideas (styles, colors) are old and dated.

Simplicity's Sewing Instruction Book.......2007-03-22

This book offers detailed instructions, with clear & helpful illustrations, of the many methods of sewing. Everything from how to read a pattern, determine your true size, tips on getting the optimal fit, and techniques of both machine & serger sewing are covered. Just what I needed. After reviewing information I thought I already knew, I realized why my projects have not always turned out perfectly. A great guide book for beginner and experienced sewers. My only dissapointment was that I received the issue from the 1980's, so all the wardrobe ideas & patterns/ illustrations reflect the fads of that time, including the "big hair." Other than being a bit dated, the sewing instruction was great.

"In reality we don't fall out of love," writes Mark Goulston, M.D. "Rather, love falls out of us, like the floors of a building whose foundation crumbles." If you're in a relationship that has lost its magic, The 6 Secrets of a Lasting Relationship aims to rekindle your heart by teaching you a process of examining, discussing, and fixing your relationship.

The first letters of each of the six secrets make the acronym CREATE: chemistry, respect, enjoyment, acceptance, trust, and empathy. Goulston maintains that relationship problems are caused by a breakdown in one or more of these elements, but if you strengthen the supporting structure in these overlapping areas, you can restore your passion and romance and discover "a new, mature love that surpasses in depth and intimacy all your romantic memories." Whatever the specific problems in your relationship, he says, improving these six areas will help restore your bond.

The 6 Secrets of a Lasting Relationship is like couples therapy in a book. You and your partner will want to work through specific chapters together, which you'll return to often for guidance. You'll learn warning signs that your relationship is in trouble in one or more of these areas, how to communicate about it, and how to repair and renew the relationship. Goulston includes self-tests, exercises, and many anecdotes that illustrate his points. Eye-catching quotes pepper the chapters, such as, "Love is the answer, but while you are waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty good questions," (Woody Allen) and "Men always want to be a woman's first love--women like to be a man's last romance" (Oscar Wilde).

Goulston is a board-certified psychiatrist and a well-known relationship advisor who has conducted 10,000-plus hours of couples therapy. Goulston and coauthor Philip Goldberg also wrote Get out of Your Own Way. --Joan Price

Book Description

This straightforward guide explains how Chemistry, Respect, Enjoyment, Acceptance, Trust, and Empathy are the pillars that support a strong, successful relationship-and how couples can repair those pillars, protect them against the long-term wear and tear of stress, boredom, and bickering, and build a lasting, satisfying love.

This book can literally save your marriage or committed relationship. Dr. Goulston uses simple, yet clever analogies to help readers understand the true foundation of a solid relationship. His CREATE approach is direct and easy to understand. The advice is wonderful and it's obvious that Dr. Goulston genuinely cares about helping people grow and solidify their intimate relationships. This should be required reading for all couples or anyone contemplating a romantic relationship.

WE STOPPED GOING TO MARITAL THERAPY AND USED THIS BOOK.......2003-11-07

We've saved thousands of dollars in marital therapy by using this book. The most amazing thing about it is to follow Goulston's suggestion to take the quizzes at the beginning of each section on how to CREATE love (Chemistry, Respect, Enjoyment, Acceptance, Trust, Empathy) and more importantly to then answer them the way you think your partner would answer them. Then exchange what you have written down and marvel at how little you really understand each other and then start to heal when you correct the misunderstandings. It's absolutely magical. Even men will get into it because you get the sense Goulston's a guy's guy, but is so without offending women. Run to buy this one!

Salvage, Reconstruct or Solidify your relationship.......2003-08-29

Goulston (doctor) & Goldberg (writer) are a wonderful team, and they succeed yet again with this book ("Get Out of Your Own Way" ISBN:0399519904 is the other one).

Dr. Goulston gets right to the heart of the matter in discussing how relationships can fall apart. If you are currently in a rocky relationship that you wish to save, or if you're just looking to solidify the foundation of the great relationship you already have, then you should invest the few dollars in this book. It's bound to be one of the best investments you'll ever make in your life.

Just to be totally honest, if your relationship is troubled and you would like to work on it effectively, you should seriously consider seeing an actual counselor. If your partner is hesitant, then this book alone might go a long way towards salvage and reconstruction.

Book Description

Frida Su nombre evoca misterio y magia y...Mexico. En este nostalgico libro, Guadalupe Rivera, la hija de Diego Rivera, arroja una nueva luz sobre la leyenda. Como dice la propia Guadalupe: "En 1942 la situacion familiar provoco que resultara mas eonveniente que me fuera a Coyoacan, a vivir con mi padre y Frida... lo mas importante que me sucedio fue aprender aver el mundo a traves de la manera de vivir de Frida y Diego."

Guadalupe y Marie-Pierre encuentran a Friday a la Casa Azul en Coyoacan intensamente llenas de vida. Guadalupe nos cuenta de los pericos parloteando en sus jaulas, del chango Fulan Chang, de las tertulias en la famosa cocina de azulejos. Pero sobre todo, nos relata acerca de Friday su manera de dar siempre la bienvenida en su casa.

Frida estaba permanentemente llena de entusiasmo y el menor asunto era causa de regocijo. Celebraba cumpleanos, santos y bautizos, asi como todas las fiestas populares. Por ello, Guadalupe y Marie-Pierre han estructurado este libro en dote fiestas, entre las cuales estan las posadas (durante la epoca navidena), el dia de muertos, la Independencia y una fiesta de gala llamada "La comida de manteles largos".

Mezcladas con los recuerdos de Guadalupe encontramos mas de 100 recetas de la comida traditional mexicana que a Diego le gustaba y que a Frida le encantaba preparar.

Entre las numerosas ilustraciones se encuentran paginas de los libros de cocina de Friday de sus cuadernos de notas, asi como una seleccion de fotografias y reproducciones de sus obras.

Por su parte, Marie-Pierre Colle trabajo con Ignacio Urquiza -- uno de los principales fotografos de Mexico -- para crear las fotografias de las recetas en la Casa Azul y en otros lugares amados y bien conocidos por Frida. Tanto estas como las fotografias de bodegones inspiradas por obras de Frida, se combinan para ofrecernos un libro vibrante, emotionante e inspirador, como Frida misma. Los eonocedores encontraran en Las fiestas de Friday Diego un invaluable agregado a su biblioteca; los que apenas se inician en el mito encontraran una encantadora puerta de entrada.

The Spanish-language edition of Frida's Fiestas.

Full-color photographs.

Beautiful!.......2007-10-10

The book is very nice. It has a lot of photos. It also tells the story about Frida and Diego. It's the perfect gift. There is also a Spanish version, which I have been unable to locate.

Frida's Fiestas.......2007-07-19

This book is a must for anyone who knows about Frida Kahlo, or for anyone who appreciates the Mexican culture. In fact, it's a great book in and of itself just for the pictures and recipes alone. I am thrilled it's another addition to my Frida Kahlo/Diego Rivera collection. Diego's daughter's recollections of her life with these two greats is fascinating. Who knows? I may even learn to cook as the recipes are festive and inspiring.

Reminiscent of Grandma.......2007-03-16

I loved this book because it was more than just recipes, it had the story as well. The recipes were true and provided with the original ingredients, reminded me of my grandmothers cooking. I would have liked to see a section that described some of the ingredients we don't normally see in our markets in order to know where to look.

This is a party book!.......2007-01-10

I bought this book for my friend for Christmas and had to have one for myself as well! The pictures are beautiful and the recipes are very unique. We are using the book to plan our next fiesta!

Excellent! Interesting! A great gift!.......2006-07-17

I ordered this book to give away as a door prize. When it arrived, I glanced through it, but was so captivated that I sat down and read through the entire book immediately (even though I had/have no plans to ever cook any of the food) -- it was a fascinating glimpse into the life and times of Frida, Diego and others. Then I ordered three more to give as gifts to friends.

ONE OF FRANCE'S GREATST NOVELISTS COMPILES THE ENTIRE CHRONICLE OF THE LOVE OF FRIDA KAHLO AND DIEGO RIVERA.......2007-06-26

Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clezio, born in France in 1940, was declared in 1994 France's number one novelist. Primarily a resident of New Mexico, he makes frequent journeys into Mexico, studying cloely her land, history and peoples, from which he has also writtenLa conquista divina de Michoacan (Cuadernos de La Gaceta), Las profecias del Chilam Balam, and El sueno mexicano, published in English as The Mexican Dream: Or, The Interrupted Thought of Amerindian Civilizations.

In handling the political and sentimental history of the great Mexican painters Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, he turns for source material, among others, to Frida: Una Biografia de Frida Kahlo and La Fabulosa Vida de Diego Rivera. All of this source material serves to produce a lively and eminently readable synthesis in this excellent novelist's skill and art. Skipping the historical record we do well to find the living reality in all its aspects here in this one book.

Frida received only one exposition of her art during her lifetime. Now a comprehensive collection is on display in the city of Mexico. Diego saw the Rockefellers destroy his internationally acclaimed and heroic art in Manhattan. Now is the time to recall fully their history and their struggles as well as their life long sustaining love, so well retold within the pages of this one book.
