A work of real meaning, despite,.........2005-03-21

I could not quite make out how to perceive this book. On the one hand it is a testament of a lifelong friendship and love. On the other hand it seems to me it is an indictment of the beloved when they are no longer around to answer. And here the indictment comes not necessarily out of a desire to injure, but simply through stating the facts about certain aspects of Sartre's life. His capacity for multiple loyalty was very great especially when this had to do with young women. And according to other sources de Beauvoir's role in these relationships was not necessarily a very good one.
Still we are talking about two very significant 'minds' who fertilized each other- two great friends who helped and inspired each other- and if one , Sartre, was the senior partner, and the other deBeauvoir the survivor who has the last say still their dialogue and their life, and this work of farewell have real meaning.

Never thought that Sartre could make you cry?.......2002-11-24

Then you need to read this book. It is Simone de Beauvoir's first-person account of the last ten years of Sartre's life, and it is heartbreaking to read in several places. Her descriptions in particular of his final few days are wrenching, and I did actually cry as she described Sartre's death. The prose is characteristic of de Beauvoir: deeply and intimately detailed, meticulous, and dense in some places. But the reading is ultimately rewarding as it gives the reader an even more thorough understanding of the devoted side of de Beauvoir--and the very human and mortal side of the great philosopher Sartre.

A Beaver's Tale.......2001-06-18

Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre were *the* couple of the 20th century. For all the immense history they created, it may be beyond our ability to imagine just how and why they were first drawn together, or more why they *stayed* together right up until Sartre's death in 1980. This two-part memoir is remarkable for its poignant intimacy, first as an historical record from 1970-1980, and then as a transcription of de Beauvoir's own interviews with Sartre during that same period of time. These two were a rough mix, as though that was a revelation. And, ironically, it's perhaps de Beauvior's own deep emotional commitment that comes through most clearly in these pages. On the other hand, we're also offered a fascinating view of their long public life together. From the times of divided German-occupied France, to the political activism of the 60s and beyond...and, above all, the writings they produced! If anything, this book reveals how moot is the point of Sartre's caustic personality, and to what extent he may have "used" her. (As if a woman of this caliber *could* be used!) Their focus was always on the change they hoped to produce in the world. Well, and for de Beauvoir, at least, there was also the issue of their own personal relationship. Therein lies the charm of this book. You won't be disappointed.

Book Description

"A guide to the meaning of joy and satisfaction, and the many routes to them."—Jane Brody, New York Times

Award-winning author Wendy Schlessel Harpham, M.D., offers her program to getting good care and finding happiness when you are sick. Having coined the term "Healthy Survivor" while dealing with her own chronic lymphoma, Harpham encourages people dealing with cancer, heart disease, diabetes, or any prolonged illness to simultaneously do all they can to overcome disease and live life to the fullest. Happiness in a Storm shows you how to set the stage for the miracle of physical healing by making the best treatment choices for you, nourishing realistic hope, and taking action. But when it comes right down to it, what good is surviving if you are never happy? Harpham opens your eyes to the opportunities for happiness in life despite medical problems and even because of illness. You'll see how becoming a Healthy Survivor does more than increase your chances of a good outcome: it frees you to pursue happiness.

A Good Quality Team Is Mandatory To Be A Healthy Survivor!.......2007-07-07

I have an illness that doctors know that I will have for the rest of my life. Sometimes the "flare ups" get very bad.

Through the writing within this book I've learned to develope a good quality team (my wife who supports me beyond belief, a friend who is a friend indeed, a very good psychiatrist who's doing his very best with my medication, a very good therapist who's helping me with matters of depression, mood swings, etc., and a friend from church who meets with me weekly for prayer and Christian support).

This book helps a person to know the reasons why a good quality team is important, how to develope one, how "my team" helps me through my very bad "flare ups", and the reasons to keep in touch with them. All of this to help me to keep on the road to a good quality life despite the extremely painful "flare ups" that I will never stop having. My team also helps me to keep, as much as possible, a good mental attitude.

I've seen so many books out there that are just "phooey". When I say that, I say that meaning that there are books out there that believe that doctors and other medical professionals are not needed and healing is just a matter of your state of mind. Medical and even mental professionals are many times needed. They can be instrumental ingredients of your team.

This book emphasises so much of what me and my team are doing. The good thoughts need to be there, however, I'll never have a good quality life with my disease without building the good team that I described within my first paragraph. It takes a team effort along with an effort from me (good thoughts-many times reenforced by my team!).

Remember, "good thoughts" are powerful, however, the good, quality team can even be mandatory for your good quality thoughts to come along!

I believe that this book, if read and followed, many times (nothing's perfect) could very well be a great help to many people. Remember, build that team!

Happiness in a Storm: Facing Illness & Embracing Life as a Healthy Survivor.......2007-03-16

Written by a physician, herself a healthy cancer survivor, it is both informatonal & inspiring. I read it myself, then passed it along to a new friend who's in the same boat.

It's not easy to live with a devastating illness & even harder when it returns, time & time again. It's a never-ending battle that can knock you down but, with luck, good medical care, & the right attitude, you can turn your battle in to a positive experience.

A 'Healthy Survivor' is not just someone who has battled, or is battling a life-threatening diesease, it's a person who continues to enjoy life while doing that. It's a good goal.

Living with chronic health issues.......2006-11-08

Wendy Harpham's perspective is invaluable in learning to get the most out of life when living with chronic health problems. Her book has become a coffee table reference for me. A survivor of repeated recurrences of lymphoma, Wendy writes with strong conviction that it is possible to actually enjoy life while living through illness. Her book addresses practical issues, as well, such as how to assemble an effective team of medical support.

In a crowded field, "Happiness" is in a class by itself! .......2006-03-13

A friend of mine asked me to recommend a book to help her cope with her cancer diagnosis. She had searched here on Amazon for "breast cancer" and gotten more than 2,000 results. "How do I know which one is right for me?" she asked. I told her the answer was easy: get this book, "Happiness in Storm." Dr. Harpham is not just a physician who has experienced her own cancer, although she is that. She is a mother, a wife, and a survivor of repeated recurrences and remissions of chronic lymphoma. Throughout her 7-year journey, Dr. Harpham --- Wendy to her readers --- has shown herself to be a profound observer and participant in the process of finding and nurturing hope and joy, even as she researches treatment options and restructures her life to eliminate obstacles to healing. Many survivors tell their stories forcefully and eloquently, and Wendy excels in this, but what sets "Happiness" apart is that Wendy speaks directly to the Big Question that all of us face as we embark on life after cancer diagnosis, during treatment, and beyond: "What is the best way for me to live now?" Each of us will arrive at our own answers, but Wendy offers herself as a skilled guide, helping us apply to our own lives her philosophy, forged in the trenches, which stresses personal choice, positive actions, and reality-based hope. I laughed and I cried as I read this book, and I experienced profound relief to find a physician who clearly draws the lines between what we can and can't control, and a survivor who took me by the hand and showed me how happiness can flower amidst it all. Wendy taught me how to create hope in my own life -- that's the finest gift I could give anyone.

Help with a difficult journey.......2006-02-07

I use "Happiness in a Storm" as a wonderful reference book for dealing with the myriad difficulties that arise with a cancer diagnosis. My husband was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia years ago and with head and neck cancer more recently. I keep Wendy Harpham's book next to our bed, and when we're feeling especially anxious or sad, I flip through it and always find something that helps us feel better about our situation and a little more in control. I appreciate the combination of practical advice--such as how to get the most out of your relationship with doctors--as well as the more spiritual aspects of dealing with a serious illness.

This book had a lot of individual recipes that I really liked but the rest I don't think I'll bother with. The book is made up of menus so you pretty much have to pick and choose and make up your own menu as you go along. Great pictures though, really puts you in the mood for the holidays.

I am very pleased with this purchase. The photos are so wonderful and makes one feel so relaxed and into the Christmas spirit. Have already tried a couple of the recipes and the family thoroughly enjoyed them.
Thanks to Southern Living for another wonderful Christmas Book!

This is one of my favorite cookbooks, it contains many of my favorite deserts such as the Italian cream cake ,Coconut-Chocolate-Almond Cheesecake,Chocolate Truffle Cake,etc.. I also love the fact that the author included lots of color photos giving visual cooks like myself an idea of what the finished product should look like. For those who are tired of making the same boring holiday meals,I would definitely encourage you to buy this cookbook.

Polish the silver, set out the best china, light the candles.......2002-07-12

It's Christmas...all through this book. I "borrowed" this book a couple of years ago and finally returned it, but only after buying my own copy!

Southern Living puts out the best cookbooks. The recipes are tried and true, easy to follow and, always, delicious.

In Santa's Bakeshop you'll find Fresh Lemon Muffins, Gumdrop Wreath Bread, and Herb Buttered Crescents. My family loves Cheesy Pretzel Rolls, which fast became a classic when I first found the recipe.

The Cream-filled Chocolate Cake on page 64 became a staple for birthdays in our house, so it gets a workout more than once a year.

Chapter titles are as festive as the season: Merry Munchies, Visions of Sugarplums, Elfin Delights (full of treats for the children like Santa Claus Cupcakes), Frosty Fixings and Making a List, to name a few.

Although there are appetizers and some sandwiches (like Peanut Butter Candy Cane sandwiches for the kids), the emphasis here is on sweets -- drinks, cookies, cakes, breads and candies -- so don't buy this one if you're looking for entrees or vegetable dishes.

The book is gorgeous. Illustrations are Christmasy and colorful photographs that are as appetizing as the recipes. As usual, with a Southern Living Cookbook you can't go wrong.

I made a fantistic discovery when a co-workers loaned me her copy of "Christmas with Southern Living Cookbook," Volume 3, 1999 Ed. Within 1 week, I had tried out four recipes with marvelous results. The shopping lists were most helpful. My family was elated that I prepared what they called "Sunday Dinners" during the week.

I am the author of Tabitha the Fabulous Flying Feline. The authors make reference to me and my cat in their book however no one ever contacted me or my publisher to get the true story. Since the section about me is inaccurate, it only makes me wonder what else was cut and pasted or received second-hand from other hacks who don't check their facts.

Book Description

Beautiful, intricate, flowing, mysterious, iconic—cable knit sweaters are all that and more. They are classic, stylish wardrobe staples. For many of us, cables are the main reason we were compelled to learn to knit in the first place. But it’s necessary to be an ultra-advanced knitter to even think about knitting cables, right?

Not really. In Cables Untangled, widely published author, knitwear designer, and teacher Melissa Leapman demystifies this perennially popular technique, guiding the reader through the process step by step. Even if you’ve mastered just a few basic knitting techniques, you can turn out beautiful cables too!

A comprehensive resource book for knitters of all levels, Cables Untangled features over twenty cabled projects, from simple household items to clothing, fashion accessories, and gifts for virtually everyone on your list. Every project is beautifully photographed and includes useful detail shots of every piece of cabled fabric.

In addition to the projects, Cables Untangled includes an invaluable Cable Stitch Dictionary, giving you the tools to be a skilled and creative cable-knitter. Extra resources include:

• A guide to using knitting charts and understanding their symbols

• A comprehensive stitch library of both traditional and unusual rib, panel, and allover cable stitches, all clearly photographed and accompanied by easy-to-use charts

• Tips for designing your own projects

Throughout the book, Leapman relies on the techniques she has developed teaching her popular workshops—making the process easy and fun for anyone.

Here’s the book that will bring your knitting to a whole new level, help you impress family and friends with your beautiful creations, and open up a new world of creative opportunities. Without a doubt, Cables Untangled is an indispensable resource in helping you conquer—and enjoy!—cables. It’s the ultimate guide for beginners and seasoned knitters alike.

Cable knitting at its best : over 20 designs and more than 100 cable stitches

Widely published author, designer, and teacher Melissa Leapman includes over twenty beautiful sweater and accessory designs—plus more than 100 cable-stitch patterns—in the definitive cable resource book for beginners and experts alike.

With Cables Untangled, even beginning knitters can learn to cable like pros, and those who already consider themselves seasoned cablers will find new avenues for their creativity and skill as they expand their repertoire and learn to design their own cabled creations.

Customer Reviews:

Fun, beautiful projects, Beautiful book!.......2007-09-26

I love this book. I didn't purchase it on Amazon, however, I plan on purchasing more Melissa Leapman book immediately! I made the pink scarf/hat set as my first project, continued with the easy cable sweater. I also made the afghan with squares (still working on it, I made squares in between projects), the Harvest Tweed Afghan, and the multi-colored pillow. Everything has turned out beautifully. However, one complaint - unless I am reading something wrong, the reversible cable scarf pattern is incorrect. I figured it out and mine looks exactly like the book, but just a warning!

I love this book!!!

This is a book that I'd seen and wanted, but as usual hated paying full price for. When it went on sale on here, I snapped it up. The pictures are pretty, the projects are a bit simple for my tastes but I've already made a full size sweater coat that was the most intricate cabled picture I've seen yet. This is great for beginners or more advanced knitters that just want to relax a bit and still have a nice finished project.

Beautifully done - great resource.......2007-06-18

Lovely book. Well presented collection of the variety of cable patterns and techniques with good explanations. A little piece on the history of Aran knitting and perhaps on the supposed meaning of some of the cables might have added to the charm of the book. But for a terrific history and explanation of the technique see Starmore's classic work 'Aran Knitting".
The patterns in the book are refreshingly contemporary without being boring or just too funky. There is a timeless style to the patterns unlike many of the knitting books out today whose patterns will be outmoded in no time at all. The explanations and charts are clear and easy to follow.

Definately an Knitting Library Essential!.......2007-04-30

I'm still a relatively new knitter, but I've been eyeing this book for months. I finally received it as a gift and I could not be more thrilled. It is a pattern book and a stitch dictionary all in one!! I think any knitter who enjoys cables should own this book.

The only dissappointment was there was not a pattern for a cardigan. Small price to pay for such a great book though.

Good resource.......2007-03-31

This book is full of cable patterns, many new to me, and has several helpful hints. One I didn't know is how to avoid the distortion of the last knit stitch before a group of purls.

For Gardening Moms / Dads and their children!!!!! .......2004-10-06

This is a terrific book to introduce your child to gardening and also most have 2 pages to record:
Cloud Watching - the date & the shape of the cloud
Flowerbed Design / seeds planted - the flower, it's color & it's height
Counting in the Garden - number & description
Our Garden Party - the date, guest list, menu, activities and special memories
Creepy Crawling Friends - name / type, date found, place found and room for notes
Colors in the Garden - Color, plant/bird & child's pronounciation
Special Memories

And then sprinkled in between these pages is are 1 page on Rain, Strawberries, Moon & Stars, Sounds, Leaves, and Snow!

I have many precious memories of gardening with my mother planting flowers and asking their names, I love that this book will help me record these special times with my daughter so she too will maybe make her world brighter with flowers, and give her a look into her childhood that she might or might not remember! A must have for any parent who loves to garden and wants to continue this love with their child.

For the novice and experienced Handler and pup, Michael Daniels offers this Handbook to allow the reader a rare entry into the Human dog world - fetish, play and lifestyle. The content, though controversial to some audiences, projects a clear and practical and respectful approach to answering many silent questions. Well-organized. Well-written. It's one book to which you'll want to start and finish the day it arrives, and then read it again! Congratulations to Mr. Daniels, Sir, for gifting us with our first Handbook. Woof!

A Practical Guide to Human Dogs and Dog Trainers.......2005-04-17

Michael Daniels has written a book that is very practical in content and is careful to make the very important distinction between the world of fantasy and the world of reality, which can be a major pitfall for so many persons attracted by the allure of the notion of living as a human dog or human dog owner. By dealing with the subject manner in a very realistic, matter-of-fact manner, the author presents very useful material that any person interested in this particular lifestyle would do well to read the book if for no other reason than to get a good understanding of what can be realistically expected from the lifestyle and what is storybook fiction. Mr. Daniels handles that aspect of his subject matter in a most professional manner.

The author states at the outset that he is a gay Master and can only write from that perspective. He expresses no disrespect to anyone in his opening statements, and in the text of his book, he makes references to pansexual lifestylers as well. The cartoons that appear throughout the book, however, are characteristic of gay literature, as are the advertisements and additions in the book. At times the language in the book does seem to cater specifically to gays and to exclude the non-gay population. While this feature of the book may disturb some readers, it is highly advisable that readers who find such signs of gender orientation troubling keep an open mind when reading the book, because the content is well worth reading for anyone who is involved in the lifestyle, if for the relevancy alone, because a more pragmatic manual would be hard to find.

Bow wow...WOW.......2003-09-15

Like many men in the world of..., you never, quite realize what you're missing until someone lays it out in front of your nose. Michael Daniels has achieved that in "WOOF!" - allowing for some serious insights into a scene that many may have glimpsed only from the periphery, thinking there was little else to it than costumes and juvenile role paying. He gives the dog play world a fully fleshed out manifesto filled with depth and heart, as well as thoroughly documented detail. (Also some wonderful bits of artwork and a bonus short story at the...ahem...tail end the the book.) If you have ever wondered what it would take to unleash your inner species, then "WOOF!" will open the doors in a way none other before it could.

Wow.......2003-09-03

This book is AMAZING! Amoung it being one of the first to directly hit puppy play, it takes the leather community by storm. Very in depth, detailed, and quite a good read. As a pup myself, this gets two paws up!

Book Description

[East Anglian]Illustrated edition of an important document in the economic and social history of Georgian England. James Oakes was active in local politics, and knew, or was related to, most of the businessmen, clergy and parish gentry in and around Bury. In 1778 he began to write the diaries which he kept faithfully for the next 49 years. Their span - half a century covering the American Revolution and the great wars with revolutionary and Napoleonic France -makes them a unique reflection and measure of the industry and trade, banking and politics of a small East Anglian town, a microcosm of English provincial society.JANE FISKE gained her doctorate at the University of East Anglia for her study of Oakes' diaries.
