Educating the U.S. Army: Arthur L. Wagner and Reform, 1875-1905

Book Description

Author, educator, and reformer, Arthur L. Wagner was instrumental in pushing the U.S. Army into the twentieth century. From a lackluster beginning at West Point, Wagner went on to become one of the most influential officers of his day; and through his prolific writing, he was nearly a household name to his colleagues.

Wagner’s pioneering work for the army came at a time when many officers preferred the school of experience to formal education. Against the opposition of the army’s “old guard,” Wagner succeeded in turning the army toward a professional ethic that required diligent study and reflection. In this well-written and thoughtful biography, T. R. Brereton traces the life of a remarkable soldier who played a central role in the introduction of new tactics, maneuvers, and army lesson learning.

A "Must Read!" for U.S. Army historians and those interested.......2000-05-10

This is a "must read" for anyone interested in the U.S. Army in the Empire or "Gilded Age," specifically and the U.S. Army's history in general. Professor Brereton has written an important book on one of the U.S.Army's principal thinkers and strategic analyst: Colonel Arthur L. Wagner, USMA 1875. Colonel Wagner was the author of several books on military training and strategic policy in the 19th Century. This book is important and timely since this is the centennial period of the successful U.S. campaigns in the Spanish-American War, Boxer Rebellion, and the Philippine-American War.

The book is editorially well-written, and easy to read. The book was thoroughly researched utilizing a wide range of primary and secondary sources. The book contains photographs and is well-bound.

This is an important, and the first, book on an important figure in U.S. Army strategic thinking who was a guiding force in the evolution of the small, continental 1898-U.S. Army into an imperial power that grew into our present U.S. Army. This book complements Dr. Graham Cosmas' An Army for Empire, Dr. Brian M. Linn's The Philippine-American War and The U.S. Army and Counter-Insurgency in the Philippine-American War.

The definitive biography of Schutz.......2005-10-19

Michael Barber's book immediately replaces Helmut Wagner's earlier work as the definitive biography of Alfred Schutz. Although the book is short, a quick glance at the copious endnotes (44 pages of references for 229 pages of body text) indicates the thoroughness -- indeed, exhaustiveness -- of Barber's archival work and wider research. His prose is clear, approachable, and workmanlike. At times this does lead to a certain sense of distance -- Schutz's personality remains naggingly intangible throughout the book despite Barber's attempts, mostly because of his reserved and unadventerous style. But then this volume is a study of Schutz's life and philosophy, not a memoire or a literary biography, and the book's concision and clarity are welcome in this regard. Phenomeneology has not produced very many light reads, and Barber ably guides the reader through extremely technical discussions of Schutz's work and phenomenology more generally, describing and summarizing vast amounts of work which would scare the bejezus out of many readers if they attempted them on their own. For scholars familiar with Schutz's work and the history of German emigree intellecuals, this is a very welcome addition to the literature. Newbies looking for a quick overview of Schutz's thought might want to chech out other sources -- for instance, Wagner's edited volume "Alfred Schutz on Phenomenology and Social Relations" in Chicago's 'Heritage of Sociology' series.

Definitive ..........2005-06-05

The Vienna-born philosopher and social scientist, Alfred Schutz (1899-1959), is credited with applying to the social sciences the new methods of phenomenology, the philosophical movement initiated by Edmund Husserl in the early twentieth-century. Ironically, the only biography of Schutz available until now, Helmut Wagner's ALFRED SCHUTZ: AN INTELLECTUAL BIOGRAPHY (1983), overlooks many details of the fascinating social world of this quintessential philosopher of the social world. Barber's biography remedies this. Drawing on vast amounts of previously unpublished materials, it draws the reader directly into his life and times-his childhood; studies under Hans Kelsen, Ludwig von Mises and Husserl; first visit to the United States; efforts to secure asylum for his Jewish family and friends after the Austrian Anschluss; family and business life; connections with phenomenologists worldwide; the New School for Social Research; close friends and associates-especially Felix Kaufmann, Eric Voegelin, Aaron Gurwitsch, and Marvin Faber. Barber's biography also examines the ethical dimensions of Schutz's philosophical work, including its well-known resistance to ethical theory, and shows how during the civil rights movement he developed a standard for evaluating democracy in terms of its ability to facilitate individual citizen participation. A delightful and highly informative read.

Our Daugher & Big Sister Loves This Book.......2007-09-03

Our daughter was 3 yrs & 1 week old when our son was born and we bought this book because it was about a big sister with a little brother. Our daughter loves this book and so do we. We do not think that it is negative - rather realistic in that there will be frustrations and adjustments that the older child will have to make when the baby arrives. She recites the parts about being patient and having special time with Mommy and Daddy. She has been reading the book for over 6 months now and continues to enjoy it. We really loves the illustrations - the "big sister" wears a dress-up skirt over her PJs and our daughter does this all of the time. We strongly recommend this book as our family has greatly enjoyed it.

Excellent preparation for big sister.......2006-08-17

I thought this book was great. I understand what previous reviewers are saying about the sister seeming to be ignored, but I think what we have to keep in mind is that she is probably not waiting as long as we think she is - the book is written from her perspective, not the parents'. If mom has to nurse for 1 more minute, it might seem like 30 to a two year old. And personally, I am not able to pour cereal while nursing so if my daughter wants some, she has to wait.

I felt like this really gave my daughter (age 3) some good preparation for what to expect when her baby brother arrived. I also think that it helped her understand that it was OK to express some resentment toward him at first. The illustrations were fantastic - I enjoyed seeing the disorganized house and harried parents.

Big Sister Now: A Story About Me and Our New Baby.......2006-07-25

My husband and I found out we would be having our second grandchild. We went in search of a great book to help our grandson,age three, deal with a new baby sister. We searched a lot of stores and found the best story in the book "Big Sister Now". Even though it was about a big sister, it was easy to have our grandson understand that big sisters and big brothers seem to have the same things happen to them. He now says that his friend Kate has a baby brother Daniel and he Nicholas. is having a baby sister How wonderful this made us feel.

The illstrations made us able to discuss the problems Kate was having and that sometimes we have to be patient. It also showed that big brothers and sisters get to do more grown-up things
and babies to have to sleep alot.

In looking at the pictures and reading the story I felt the autor and illistrator worked hand in hand with a lot of love to produce a fun and helpful book for children of all ages. They must have experienced alot of the story for it to have so many of the feelings that you hear moms talk about after a new baby arrives and a little girl becomes "A Big Sister Now."

The BEST book for bringing a baby home I've seen!.......2006-07-21

"Big Sister Now" is on my list of "gotta haves" and "gotta give" to all friends and friends'kids who are bringing second and third and forth babies home to older sibblings. The story is so engaging, the senarios realistic. The character gives a voice and permission to older sibblings who may not know how to positively express what they're feeling. This book is sure to delight, educate and open doors of communication between parents and the older sibbling.

For those concerned about the negative face of the character let me remind you what the noted (late) child psychologist, Dr. Hiam Ginott (Between Parent and Child)said about bringing a second baby home. He believed that is was like your husband bringing home another woman and telling you that you'll love it because she'll help with the cooking, housework and babysitting.
He believe that ALL children harbor feelings of displacement whether they appear to express them or not. The child willing to happily fetch diapers and bottles and even those expressing "I love the baby" may ONLY be doing it to please Mommy and Daddy, not because they feel that way.

The beauty in "Big Sister Now," is that through the adorable main character, children are NOT given negative ideas but rather given a VOICE and PERMISSION to express what they may really be feeling. As tough as it is for us as parents to accept, children do feel displaced, and if they are harboring feelings of resentment, it's healthier to give them a positive avenue for expression. "Big Sister Now" doesn't tell children how they should be feeling, it allows children to express what may already be inside their head.

The illustrations are amazingly fresh. The back story in all the illustrations is wonderfully clever. Anyone who is a mother can relate to the dishelveled house. So much more is happening within the illustrations than in the story itself.

"Big Sister Now" is on my "MUST HAVE" list!

Please choose another! This one made me cringe!.......2006-06-30

I think the first reviewer doesn't have kids. She gave no indication. The second reviewer was dead on but she didn't give details. When pregnant with my third child, I wanted to find a good big sister book for my daughter (my second child). We loaded up on big brother books before she was born and they were a big help to my son. I NEVER read this book to my daughter because I didn't want the negative thoughts that it depicts to enter her mind. In the first pages of the book, the little girl is shown in very clearly resentful and ugly moods, looking over at the new baby with Mommy and Daddy with pure venom. Mid-book, there are several spreads dedicated to how incredibly busy everyone always is with the new baby and how big sister is made to wait frequently and for long, long, (seriously) long periods of time while baby is dealt with. She is, of course, told that it is difficult sometimes to wait but that it is part of being a big girl and that the baby can't wait for things. Then, the worst part...

"One afternoon I needed Mommy to read a book, but Daniel was crying. So Mommy had to rock him. She rocked and rocked. Daniel cried and cried." Big sister is shown on the next page waiting with the book, in three different poses, implying that she's waiting quite a while. "I had to wait. I waited and waited." On the following spread, "While Mommy rocked, I brought Daniel's new blanket" (presumably to help comfort the crying baby). The poor dear is shown coming in with the blanket and slipping on the book she wanted Mommy to read to her. She falls on the floor next to Mommy and baby in the rocking chair. Still, does Mommy get up and console her? Does Mommy invite her to join them in the rocking chair? Nope. Mommy looks sort of proud on the next page as she watches her daughter try to pull herself together while sitting on the floor nearby, "reading" the book (upside down) and sobbing by herself, drying her eyes on the blanket. Well, I'm sorry, but my two older children did not cease to be my babies too when my new babies came home and that's definitely not an image I wanted my daughter to remember when her baby brother came home.

I'm not naive. I've got three kids now. I know about resentful feelings. They will happen even when parents have the best of intentions. However, this book doesn't introduce our daughters to the idea of being big sisters with the best of intentions. Try Joanna Cole's "I'm a Big Sister" for that. I'm irked by the bottle-feeding in that book and the pictures seem outdated but the message is fantastic. It addresses waiting and crying in a MUCH more positive way. I also really liked "Hello Baby" by Lizzy Rockwell. It discusses pregnancy, in utero growth, and the baby's homecoming. It may seem too long and advanced for young children but that didn't bother me. I used it for both of my first two children and just let them look at the pictures while I modified the story to suit their respective ages. Also, if your kids are older and dealing with issues of sibling rivalry and who Mommy or Daddy loves best, I highly recommend "I Love You the Purplest" by Barbara Joosse. It gives perhaps the best lesson of all time to help parents combat resentment between children.

I will say that I can see a use for this book if I had a daughter who (despite my best intentions in preparing her for big-sisterhood) was having very seriously negative feelings about being a big sister. This book could help her understand that those feeling can be normal and that things will improve with time. I wouldn't buy it until then though. I also have a Master's Degree in Social Work and I know about giving a voice to feelings. I would never discourage my children from voicing their resentment, irritation, anger, etc. about the new baby. However, I also know that children model behavior, even that which is found in the books we read to them. If you introduce them to the idea that they're going to be left out and made to wait when their new sibling comes along, they will be expecting trouble and the resentment depicted in the book will almost surely become a self-fulfilling prophecy. I absolutely believe in allowing, even ENCOURAGING, children to voice negative feelings; I just feel it's counter-productive and unnecessary to introduce them before they crop up on their own. So, to the reviewer who plans to give this book as a gift to all the expectant parents she knows, I implore you to stick to the parents' registry. It is much more respectful of their wishes to do so. Just because you think this book would be valuable for them does not mean they will agree. This book was a gift to me from someone who thought we would enjoy it and it was just a waste of money. I could really use more crib sheets though! Registry...

Also, speaking of modeling behavior... Any parent sensitive enough to be cruising Amazon looking for a good book to help a daughter prepare for her new sibling would not exhibit the kind of cruel neglect of the daughter's feelings that you see in this book. I have much more of a problem with the behavior of the parents in this book than I do with the big sister's behavior. Who can blame the poor girl for the resentment she's experiencing?

Yes, a child having a new sibling has been compared to a husband or wife bringing a new spouse home. However, it's not exactly that extreme or fewer people would do it, some several times over. Also, I don't see myself EVER frolicking with my husband's new wife in the sandbox or us happily tooling around after each other on tricycles a mere two years after our introduction. Kids adjust because we prepare them and nurture them and express to them in a myriad of ways that siblings are a gift to one another. Even if the comparison was accurate, the logical conclusion should not be to tell a child, "Oh, yeah, it's going to be wretched and you'll be second fiddle for a while but don't worry because it will get better." The solution is to prepare them with some information about the needs of new babies and then to do your absolute best to give them an abundance of love and attention once the new baby comes. I'm on my third and I truly haven't found it that big of a challenge to make time and room on my lap for my older ones--many times even while nursing the newborn. Yes, the house is in shambles sometimes and I can get pretty exhausted but the priority here is taking good care of all three of my babies.

For the dogs..........2003-12-05

This is a terrible book. It may have started with an amusing idea- coats of arms for breeds of dogs, but the designs are usually hackneyed, trite, or just plain bad. They are also repetitive, so half-way through the book, there's nothing left to see.

Basically, it's boring for those who don't care about heraldry, and insulting to anyone who does.

Good for the first couple of reads.......2003-03-23

This book was interesting when I first read it. I had no idea that there was a coat of arms for every breed of dog. However after the first few times of reading it cover to cover I got bord with it. It really is more of a kids book. But as I said it is interesting only the first few times ( for adults) you read it. I would recommend checking it out of a library rather than buying it.

Canine Heraldry.......2002-01-12

The idea of a coat of arms for a particular breed of dogs is humourous, at least for the first few pages. The author's blatant disregard for the art of heraldry and utter disdain for the idea of good design will cause this book to grate on the nerves of anyone who appreciates a real coat of arms.

description of "Bar Sinister is totally wrong".......1997-06-29

Whoever wrote the description on heraldry for canines about "Bar Sinister" is out in left field and probably knows absolutely Nothing about the charges, ordinaries, metals, etc. If he/she did the person would know that a bend is an honourable ordinary and the bend sinister is the same thing and does not represent a "bastard". That person should know that a regular bend with a baton on the bend is the actual meaning of one of illegitimate birth. How do I know. I've studied the subject for over 25 years. I personally think it is an act of stupidity to put something down like a "bar sinister" as there is no such derivation in any research volume on heraldry. Bill Wendeborn

A real "sleeper" of a book.......1997-01-19

This is a truly astonishing book, a sleeper if there ever was one. The concept itself reminds one that creativity is a wondrous thing. The idea of creating coat of arms for dogs is not something that comes to everyone, but once conceived is irresistible to dog lovers. This small book contains not only the concept but is also the obvious distillation of years of painstaking research into the background of the145 breeds of dog, the arcane world of heraldic art, and the integration of both into meticulously prepared and highly detailed full color coat of arms for each. Each portrays the most significant aspects of the dogbreed's history by the subtle use of tiny drawings and symbols included in the coat of arms. They must be studied carefully, and each viewing reveals something new. Accompanying each drawing is a brief entertaining and often amusing text explaining the coat of arms and the dog's history. In addition, adding to the artistic achievement are the drawings on each of a prime example of the breed. To cap it all off there is even a coat of arms for the mutt, which contains within it a rendering of the very crown worn by illegitimate sons of the Kings of France, as well as the Bar Sinister, which has been used from the earliest days of heraldry to indicate bastadry, which was not looked down upon by the nobility

Interesting..........2007-02-18

This book is an introduction to making personal shrines. I would have liked to see more examples from working artists who create shrines for their work versus craft-type examples. Overall, I am still happy with this purchase.

Crafting Personal Shrines.......2007-01-21

The book gave beautiful pictures and detailed instructions, a bit complex though...good thing im a shrine artist already, I have my own techniques with the same materials which is MUCH Simpler..

I learned a few new tricks I may use sometime!

Let YOUR talents be stimulated by these inspiring *crafters*.......2007-01-06

Shall we accept a faddish definition of the word *shrine*? Author Carol Owen presents the concept of *shrining* in her book (now in paperback) - - as an extension of the popular hobbies of scrapbooking and collage. The book is a glossy compilation of many crafters who use 'found' articles & paints, photographs & aging techniques, and many quirky embellishments to suggest what is primarily fiction. The "stories" exist for the most part "in the eyes of the beholder."

The preference of Reviewer mcHAIKU happens to follow more closely dictionary definition #3: an object or site hallowed for its associations. As such, a shrine might clearly show its roots in the work of Joseph Cornell, and in this time of many yearnings *real* themes could be chosen with shrines built to celebrate them, and/or the people/icons associated with them. For example: Women's Rights; Heroines of Unpopular Causes; Global Warming; History of Minimum Wage; Water Rights.

Each would be deserving of the considerable time & talent demanded of the craftspeople. Nineteen share in Owen's book what they consider to be an artform. Many details are given, tips and sources for materials: and by going to carolowenart.com more colorful examples are found. Many readers will be inspired to try out their talents & discover great satisfaction in the results.

Bad instructions.......2006-11-28

The book has 7 shrine projects. The instructions repeatedly send you back to the beginning of the book to repeat steps. The dimensions are different so you have to adapt. Pretty much a pain. Also, the dimensions given in shrine 6 are flat out wrong. Tried to find an addendum on the author's or publisher's website but none given. Cool photos of some finished shrines but be prepared for extra work trying to figure things out for yourself from the beginning.

Original & inspiring..........2006-10-30

but not quite as helpful as I'd hoped. The style is very artsy and very collage. And there were not many ideas for decorating the shrine with personal memorabilia. The artists' section at the back is interesting, but not really inspiring to me personally. The instructions were excellent, the photos confused me a bit putting the shadowbox openings together, but other than that they were great. I will definitely be using the book to build a personal or gift shrine, but for decorating inspiration I might turn elsewhere. Would have liked more photos, more momentos.
