4 out of 5 stars An observant participant.......2000-04-01

John Quincy Adams Campbell was well named. As determined and purposeful as the president he was named for, he led a life similar in focus on principal.

Almost all of the Civil War diaries, Union or Confederate, recount days of slogging through mud, choking in the dust of other marching soldiers, and of camp boredom. Quincy Campbell, however, is an observant man, a newspaper reporter by trade, a man of detail. Not only does he record the mileage tramped and the direction of the march, when he crosses a pontoon bridge, he steps it off and reports the yardage.

Campbell is also a careful observer of the countryside he marches through. He evaluates the farmland for crops as well as the small towns for prosperity and the scenery for beauty. Aware of its political import, he attends and reports on a "Unionist" meeting in Huntsville in March 1864, a meeting held in response to Lincoln's 1863 Amnesty and Reconstruction Act.

An ardent churchgoer and crusader against alcohol, Campbell is just as determined a Unionist and fervent anti-slavery man. His comments on the day to day life of a soldier in the Western theatre of the war reflect all of his deeply held convictions; he throws himself into battle as ardently as he criticizes his fellow soldiers for getting drunk or his superior officers for what he sees as their blunders.

Campbell's diaries follow the 5th Iowa through the battles along the Mississippi, including Corinth, Island #10, Vicksburg and Chatanooga. The maps in the book, while small, aid the reader in following the action although reading Campbell with an open Civil War battle atlas is more rewarding.

        5 out of 5 stars A must for all parents.......2006-05-12

        If possible, this book is even more useful than "1, 2, 3 Magic", simply because adolescents are more trying to a parent than a toddler, if that can be imagined! I suggest giving this book to every parent on their child's 12th birthday. I have eight children and wish I'd read this book first.

        5 out of 5 stars This is what I have been lkg for..........2004-09-02

        I am only on tape 1 of 4, it's what I've been looking for, a must have for all parents of teens, for all parents. We have been raised w/ old tapes and bad memories of what parenting is, as the child gets older we need to become coaches, not dictators. I highly recommend it!! Plus, I don't have time to read my eyes out!! the tapes are great!

        5 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for parents.......2003-05-23

        I am a clinical social worker and recommend this book to clients struggling with their teenagers all the time, and all who have read it tell me how helpful it is. The advice is clear and practical, especially in deciding when to be flexible and when to be firm. I also like the emphasis on maintaining a good relationship with your kids so you will have a good relationship with them when they are adults. Highly recommended.

        4 out of 5 stars When to intervene and when to let go.......2002-03-03

        Dr. Phelan gives concise, clear ideas about how parents should interact with their adolescents. Parenting books often fall into the trap of a "one size fits all" approach to parenting. Dr. Phelan acknowledges that adolescents often have different temperaments and may require varying types of parenting approaches.

        Communication between parent and adolescent is a tricky thing. It is easy to stymie the flow of information. He lists several "dos" and "don't" that may help keep the lines of comunication open. He illustrates each of these points with real-life vignettes. He discusses general guidelines for when it is better for the parent to intervene; when to just let go; and when to seek professional consultation.

        I am glad that this title is available in audiocassette form. Parents today are often busy with work, home duties and carpooling. A casette, or anything that is practical and saves time, is great.

        5 out of 5 stars A common sense tool for parents of teenagers........1998-06-20

        This book helped me realize that my teenager wasn't as "awful" as I thought and showed me what role I need to take to make this relationship with my teen enjoyable. Great guidelines of acceptable/unacceptable behavior for teens to help us 1st time teen parents. Also wonderful discipline ideas that are sensible!

          3 out of 5 stars A Helpful Secondary Book For Rabbit Care.......2003-10-17

          This particular book has not been the most helpful rabbit care book for me, not because of the content, but because it seems to focus more on keeping outdoor rabbits rather than indoor rabbits. It also assumes that rabbit care is the top priority of those who keep rabbits. Most of us, who keep rabbits as house pets do not have the time to hunt and gather the food the author suggests. We buy hay and pellets at the local pet store and provide a few fruit slices as a treat. However, this book is helpful. For one thing it lists poisonous plants as well as edible food that rabbits enjoy. Since rabbits always seem to find a way to eat something they are not supposed to eat (I paid $436 in vet bills when my Dutch decided to eat a calla lily), information about keeping rabbits out of mischief and appropriate food is helpful. The book is also illustrated and contains wonderful plates identifying certain breeds of rabbits as well as description of various breeds.

          Probably the greatest strength of this book is that it takes rabbit care seriously, just as one would care for a dog or cat. Its major flaw is that it is now a bit dated. I would recommend this book as a secondary handbook and since it is not too expensive, it is worth having on the shelf.

          3 out of 5 stars Great Book but not enough color.......2001-11-11

          I love this book, but i am already an experienced rabbit owner and i know what i am doing. although this book is very detailed in the different aspects of pet care, and things like that, it is not a book to read for entertainment. if you are interested in entertainment, you may want to turn to Hop To It! or The House Rabbit Handbook. Great book for a newbie though!

          5 out of 5 stars If You Own A Rabbit, You Must Have This Book.......2000-05-16

          This book should be mandatory for rabbit owners. I found the information to be extremely useful, from what food to feed them to what symptoms indicate what illnesses. You'll learn why rabbits behave the way they do and how to keep your rabbit safe and happy.

          Some of the chapters weren't relevant to me because I was not raising a show rabbit. I wasn't interested in the information about breeding, breeds, etc. but it was interesting nonetheless.

          The first time my rabbit was ill, I panicked and that's what prompted me to buy the book. Fortunately, he had just eaten too much grass and was fine by the next day. I referred to this book countless times in my rabbit's 9 years.

          If you own a rabbit, buy the book. It's interesting reading and will put your mind at easy when your rabbit isn't feeling well. You can teach your kids how to properly care for their bunnies which will add to your enjoyment and will help you ensure your bunny is with you for many years.

          One word of advice: hide the book from your rabbit. Rabbits love to chew on just about everything!

          2 out of 5 stars This isn't the best book for rabbit breeders in the U.S........1999-09-24

          I have this book, and although the author does a fair job in describing the care of a rabbit, she simply has things left out that should be included.

          The listings of breeds (and show terminology) are from the UK, and would confuse readers in the US. Same for the listing of plants (which I think she went overboard on this area.)

          There IS a decent section on genetics, however it isn't as accurate or current as I would prefer.

          Read it at the library, but don't waste your money on it if you want serious information.

          4 out of 5 stars good easy to understand on my first rabbit.......1999-05-15

          5 out of 5 stars Should definitely read before getting a dwarf bunny.......2004-12-25

          The book's design and photos are very pleasing (& very cute!). The author offers much useful and easy to understand advice. If you're looking into getting a bunny or just became an owner of one, I highly recommend this book because it will make you & your bunny's lives easier. It gives you tips on how to bond with your bunny, what to do and what NOT to do with him/her. I made the mistake of not having read this book before raising my bunny. I did things that I thought were completely normal to do (I have 2 very small dogs & have had many animals before) but were totally inappropriate when it comes to rabbits. Just being caring and loving is not enough. You need to learn to care and love the right way to ensure a happy and enjoyable life for the both of you.

          5 out of 5 stars Dwarf Rabbits.......2002-06-11

          I read the paperback edition, which I enjoyed immensely. The information is presented in a way that is easy to read and understand. The pictures are precious! The cutest rabbit in the world is on page 9, a purebred Thuringian dwarf. I wish I could find a rabbit like that one! If you read this book, you will definitely want a rabbit for a pet.

          4 out of 5 stars Unfortunately I was late!.......2000-01-26

          I am sorry that I did not buy this book before I bought my rabbit. I wish I had read it before doing so many mistakes. I recommend you to read this book before buying this lovely creature, at least not to hurt it against your will.

          5 out of 5 stars This book helps you get started with your rabbit........1998-12-10

          This book helps you get off to a great start with your new rabbit, great clor pictures and easy to read. I loved the pictures and the information was valueble to me I am now looking forward to buying my first rabbit this has helped me feel more confident about my decision.

          The color pictures are lovable and this book is simply brimming with information about how to take care of dwarf rabbits. Each section is informative and comprehensive. It certainly provided me with plenty of tips on rearing my dwarf rabbits.

            Although I liked the companion book (Training Your Pet Ferret) more, this is an excellent concise guide for someone who knows nothing about ferrets. This is not a book for anyone who has even a working knowledge about ferret behavior. But then again I haven't found a good guide yet that goes in depth into ferret matters for those of us who know the basics about them, but would like to know more.

            While some of the information is unique to this book (like the part about ferret sounds and body language) there are some alarming errors (a ferret should NEVER be housed in an aquarium!). Use it as an additional reference, but not your primary one. You should have several different sources to refer to anyway.

            1 out of 5 stars 10 Years Hardly Made Any Difference.......1999-04-23

            There are many more up-to-date reference books on the Domestic Pet Ferret. It's an add to my Ferret book collection only. I recommend researching all books available before deciding to be owned by Ferrets.

            1 out of 5 stars Please don't buy this book, you may hurt your Ferret!.......1999-01-11

            As a keeper of Ferrets here in England I was appalled when I was given this book as a present for Christmas 98'. There are a number of really quite harmful and cruel elements to this book This could not be further from the truth. The Ferret is a highly social animal and they should really be kept in a minimum of threes, two females and a male.

            De-scenting. This is a highly controversial prac n integral part of the animals communication system and to remove them just for the delicate nostrils of the owner is really very unfair on the animal.

            To say that Ferrets release odour when in fear of their life is quite innaccurate. Ferrets release an odour when they are excited, prior to eating, before hunting or going for a walk.

            Within the book the subject of housing the Ferret is not covered at all satisfatorily, to suggest that a Ferret needs a cage of only 10 inches in height is cruel. Ferrets are climbers by ntaure and mine reguarly climb the seven feet to the top of their 6 foot by 6 foot court. There is scant reference to the correct size and positioning of an outdoor court and cub.

            I could go on, but frankly the 1000 word limit is rapidly running out. But for those die hards amongst you who rate this book, just refer to the "My tip" on page 23, advising the reader "never to strike the Ferret's body" This lady must really have been struggling for something to write if she thinks that the average Ferret loving reader would hit such a small animal!

            The picture of the "White-footed butterscotch" on page 41 is further testament to this authors own ineptitude, either if this Ferret is her own or the picture is from a library, it should never have been used in a reference book. The poor animal's nails are clearly too long and should have been t rimmed, if they grow much further they'll grow back under themselves! Poor Ferret.

            One thing this "guide" is not is complete!

            In short, don't waste your money. There has to be a much better guide out there somwhere! By the way, the only reason I gave this book one star is because the review software won't let you choose none!

            4 out of 5 stars This is one of few books I would actually recommend........1998-12-10

            This book is fairly accurate (especially in comparison with the other books I have read!) and is a good book to start with for a new gerbil owner. While the original version is out of stock there is a new edition released recently. It has a pink cover with an argente golden/cream (cinnamon) gerbil on the front, written by the same author, etc. It's exactly the same with a few new pictures, and also very good.

                "Scotchie gives us an insider's look at [how to] assemble vibrant, creative studio spaces. Floor plans are provided...The photographs are excellent."--Library Journal

                Take a photographic tour of 10 beautiful ceramics studios, and discover exactly how and why each design so perfectly meets the artist's particular needs. Author and ceramist Virginia Scotchie covers all the practical decisions about equipment, workflow, and safety that go into setting up a new studio, from using the space effectively and dealing with lighting, electrical, and ventilation needs, to establishing a small business office. Every ceramist will find inspiration in Michael Sherrill's spacious and adaptable studio, so suited to his large-scale sculptures; Alice Munn's intimate and tidy atelier; and Ben Owen III's highly organized layout, arranged for volumes of production work and featuring a separate gallery.

                1 out of 5 stars Are YOU rich?.......2007-09-04

                This book annoyed me as it is for people with plenty of money to throw at an architecturally designed, no holds barred, studio space. How many artists have this kind of money? As has been said too, it offers no practical advice for measuring, designing or actually setting up the actual studio.
                Waste of time buying this unless you just want to look at pretty photos of idyllic conditions.

                2 out of 5 stars underwhelmed.......2007-03-09

                There was less of this book than I expected. Just pretty photos, no solid advice. Most important, no measurements!

                4 out of 5 stars Good but be careful !.......2007-01-12

                It's full of beautiful pictures, showing wonderful studios. The book could be more practical showing details of how to design a studio with measurements, precautions, equipment suppliers, etc.
                Good as ideas for lay-outs and artist's work

                5 out of 5 stars Love Lark Books!.......2007-01-08

                This book is wonderful for potters. It's full of inspirational pictures of not only studios, but the artist's work. All the Lark books I own are fantastic!

                4 out of 5 stars Classy, but limited........2004-06-14

                The studio examples are regionally limited to the author's home base area (Southeastern U.S.). The good part of this restricted view is that the photographs are numerous and pretty fantastic. The drawback is there's a lot of us who have to factor in different weather and terrain conditions--depending on where we live.
                The plans shown didn't have any measurements showing scale, so it was hard to get a true feeling as to how the various pieces of equipment filled the space. The graph paper used as a backdrop for these plans only caused more confusion, as there was nothing to show if each graph square equaled one square foot, or four.
                I would suggest--to anyone designing a studio--that you beg, borrow or buy your own graph paper and do your drawing to scale. Also draw your equipment to scale and cut out silhouettes so you can try out many approaches to placement.
                None of the studio plans matched my desires or needs, but the examples are varied enough that bits and pieces of almost all were helpful in designing my new studio. Pay particular attention to the information on traffic and work flow. It will help whether you work alone or have students sharing the space.
                All in all, a presentation with classy paper, pictures, and prose--and all at a great price.

                  For couples to grow closer and enjoy themselves while learning about each other, this guide offers 99 imaginative new ways to demonstrate love. Leslie and Jimmy Caplan's "cookbook" for love gathers their romantic recipes into categories like Zensational (simple yet successful romance), A Breath of Fresh Air (outdoor romantic activities that won't get you arrested), and Naughty `n' Nice (no explanation needed). Each recipe lists ingredients such as "artful brainstorming" or "two pounds foolishness." Stories about how these recipes unfolded in Leslie and Jimmy's own life (or in someone else's) add an extra element of fun to the book, and "sample servings" even include some celebrity stories.

                  5 out of 5 stars Romance at its Best!.......2003-03-31

                  Ready for Romance is a great way to keep your love life alive with your partner on many levels. Its a book you can read together and actually talk about candidly with your significant other when wanting to spice up your love life and break away from your daily routines. Each story is strait and to the point and gets the readers mind ready to think about how he/she can act a certain way or do a certain gesture to show their special someone how much they actually do care. This book also shows how geography and social status is irrelevant and that all you need is a little creativity and genuine affection. You really get a lot for your money in this book. I thank the authors for putting this out on the market!

                  5 out of 5 stars a must for long lasting relationships.......2003-02-20

                  Ready For Romance is a book for all who are in a relationship, or hope to be in one . It provides tips and ideas to keep ones love, exciting, and the passion alive. It should be read by each couple one a year. I wish I had read this book years ago. I have learned new techniques and inspirations that will help me for the rest of my life. I highly recommend it to all!

                  5 out of 5 stars Ready for Romance.......2003-02-15

                  The book provided unique ideas and thoughts for keeping passion and love alive! It is so easy to loose or forget that original passion and love a realtionship has in it's early stages. This book can extend that passion with tips, ideas, and ways, possibly for a life time. A must for lovers that want to stay fresh. It opened up a whole new serries of activities and goals to keep that warm feeling alive where a couple can grow together. I wish I had this book in past relationships, it could have made a difference! I feel strongly that what I have learned from what I have read, it will in the future.

                  4 out of 5 stars It made me feel old.......2003-02-15

                  The ideas in the book to add Romanticism to your
                  relationship and marriage were very enlightening
                  and entertaining. The main insight I got from
                  reading this book is how little effort my wife and
                  I put into adding a different level of excitment
                  and intimacy into our marriage with creative ideas
                  of surprise an newness(is that a word)?
                  I am surprising her tonight with dinner and dancing
                  for Valentine's day which is the first in the
                  eight years of marriage. Sure flowers show up
                  once in awhile butg never to the extent of the
                  ideas in this book. My wife and I have become
                  familiar and comfortable with our daily routine,
                  which does not mean it isn't great, but this
                  book has given me ideas on how to take it to
                  another level. Hold on to your hat (or skirt)
                  here I go.

                  5 out of 5 stars Terrific.......2003-02-14

                  We thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is exactly what this world needs today... We highly recommend it to those people seeking more ways to "connect" in a relationship. Humor, sexcitement, tips, recipes for adventure - its all there in a concise, fun, easy-to-follow format. ...
