5 out of 5 stars An Exciting and Historical Book about Eastern TN in the 1930's 1940's. A must Read Book for Genealogists........2005-07-22

I have done Genealogy for over 5 years, I have read, listened to, and done more stories than I care to admit. But, I was very blessed with the fact that my dear Aunt Lena, wife of Hollis (Read the book!) introduced me to this book and the author, Harold C. Rosser. I was blessed with the opportunity of meeting the author, and getting the book and reading the compasionate, wonderful account of his childhood. My father grew up near him, and I can tell you, I never heard such wonderful accounts of growing up in Scott Co, TN during that era. And I was one who thought they were knowledgeable about the subject! It is of great interest wether you know the people or not, for it is a true intrpretation of life during these times. I recommend this book for anyone, esp. anyone studying TN history. It is a great read, and a great read for teachers to read aloud 3 - 6.

    3 out of 5 stars I'm Skeptical.......2006-04-26

    I read through the book hoping to find solutions to my changing skin problems as I approach 50. There were some good pointers, but I had bad results with one of the home-made face lotions. I broke out the next day, so I was gun shy about using any more. While there are some good, common-sense ideas, I think I will stick to over-the-counter products. The home-made products tend to get a little pricey too.

    I purchased many books on skin care in an attempt to improve the appearance of my skin in the most natural way possible. This book was the only book that delivered what it promised: The methods needed in order to attain Naturally Healthy Skin. It had very practical, livable tips, and recipes for improving my skin; Stephanie Tourles also presents a very balanced approach by recommending when and when not to look to conventional methods. I am also so glad that she was so unbiased in her recommendations- she did not try to sell me anything, and when possible gave the remedy to various ailments at minimal costs.

      Book Description

      For years vegetarians have been enjoying the delicious, cheesy flavor and exceptional nutritonal benefits of Red Star brand nutritional yeast flake. They are a great source of B vitamins, especially B12-essential for vegans. Nutritional yeast can be used to make wonderful substitutes for cheese sauces, sliceable cheese for cold snacks, and meltable cheese for toppings, fondues, and pizza.

      Customer Reviews:

      5 out of 5 stars Great recipes!.......2007-03-08

      I like the cookbook more than the Unchese Cookbook because it has more variety in how to use the yeast flakes. I LOVE the macaroni and cheese! I make something from this cookbook at least once a week and haven't tried anything that I didn't like. Great way for vegans to get B vitamins.

      5 out of 5 stars Lots of creative recipes.......2005-02-22

      I love the taste of nutritional yeast so I was excited to get this cookbook. Its written by Red Star, the makers of one brand one nutritional yeast, so be prepared to see their name plastered throughout the book. The recipes in here are vegan - even in recipes like the mushroom soup where tofu sour cream is used. Its really good too. There are recipes for sauces (including cheez sauces), aioli, "pate", pesto, soups, salads, sandwiches, and pasta dishes. The popcorn recipe with the yeast flakes is a real hit in our house too. Excellent book to help get a lot more use out of the yeast flakes.

      5 out of 5 stars Delicious and healthy.......2004-01-30

      This book is a must for all vegetarian kitchens. It has a huge variety of tasty recipes. She has sections on breakfast, breads and crackers, spreads and 'butters', dips & sauces & gravy, soups, snadwhiches, entrées, and desserts. Some of my favorite recipes include: phenomenol french toast, crock cheeze, golden yam soup, messy mikes, pasta with sweet onion and pine nuts, and the quick herb and onion focaccia.

      4 out of 5 stars nature's miracle food.......2002-01-07

      Nutritional yeast is one of those few miraculous foods that all vegetarians/vegans have to be thankful for. First, nutritional yeast is grown off of blackstrap molasses. It is jam packed with fiber, protein, and tons of B vitamins, especially the highly debated B12. This cookbook makes it very easy for you to incoporate more nutritional yeast into your eating lifestyle. Be careful, Brewer's yeast is NOT nutritional yeast. This cookbook features recipes that are not suitable for substitution.

      5 out of 5 stars Innovative and Healthy!.......2001-06-12

      Lots of very easy and healthy recipes for delicious "uncheese" sauces and other dishes using Red Star Nutritional yeast. This yeast is a great source of B-12 and Joanne gives lots of creative ways to enjoy it!

        Book Description

        With an innovative and exciting approach to paper craft, ROSES, ORIGAMI & MATH stretches this ancient art to the limits. Designed for the classroom, this book uses advanced paper folding theory to reveal fundamental mathematical problems.

        ROSES, ORIGAMI & MATH is divided into three sections with increasing degrees of difficulty:

        The first chapter focuses on blocks and is designed to help the reader understand symmetry. Once mastered, solving the mathematical questions of origami should be easier. From the simple blocks, cherry blossoms, small houses, churches, and even a Greek temple can be created.

        The second chapter goes on to explain techniques such as twist folding and stereoscopic twist folding that are used for making roses and are the basis for flat folding and crystal folding.

        Finally, in the third chapter Kawasaki introduces the mathematics of origami. He explains it as an element of geometry that most readers learned in junior high school. Each section has exercises to help the reader better understand the mathematics of origami.

        Included in ROSES, ORIGAMI & MATH are instructions for creating the author's masterpiece, the Kawasaki Rose Series. Fully illustrated with clear, step-by-step instructions, this book is fun and filled with useful techniques for mathematics education and for the ambitious layman.

        Garden photographer Richard Brown spent years enjoying the fruits of others' horticultural labor and planning his own ideal garden in his head. When the time came to plant his fantasy garden on his Vermont property, he found (after several seasons' hard work) that its proportions were out of whack and the plants were wrong for the climate. Back to square one for the gardener. Brown describes--at length, and not without humor--how he has learned to work with his garden, not wrestle with it.

        Though this is a book of gorgeous photographs, not one of them is of Brown's garden--which is slightly frustrating, like hearing the beauty regimen of a veiled lady described. But Brown's gentle insistence that a gardener must, first of all, be true to his or her own space does sink in. In the end, this is less a book about his garden than about yours.

        Absolutely beautiful photographs of other people's gardens and an idiosyncratic, opinionated, entertaining text that tells how Richard Brown created his own garden. One of my favoirte garden books,this is fun to read as well as to look at.

        3 out of 5 stars ........2000-10-02

        This books gives many helpful hints on how to get your garden started, and how to arrange it differently depending on a person's individual tastes and time.

                                      Book Description

                                      Charles Stewart Henry Vane-Tempest-Stewart, the 7th Marquess of Londonderry, was born to power and command. Scion of one of Britain's most aristocratic families, cousin of Churchill and confidant of the king, owner of vast coal fields and landed estates, married to the doyenne of London's social scene, Londonderry was an ornament to his class, the 0.1 percent of the population who still owned 30 percent of England's wealth as late as 1930. But history has not been kind to "Charley," as the king called him, because, in his own words, he "backed the wrong horse," and a very dark horse indeed: Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party. Londonderry was hardly the only British aristocrat to do so, but he was the only Cabinet member to do so, and it ruined him. In a final irony, his grand London house was bombed by the German Luftwaffe in the blitz.

                                      Ian Kershaw is not out to rehabilitate Lord Londonderry but to understand him and to expose why he was made a scapegoat for views that were much more widely held than anyone now likes to think. H. L. Mencken famously said that "for every complex problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong." The conventional explanation of the coming of World War II is a simple story of the West's craven appeasement of Hitler in the face of his bullying. Through the story of how Lord Londonderry came to be mixed up with the Nazis and how it all went horribly wrong for him, Ian Kershaw shows us that behind the familiar cartoon is a much more complicated and interesting reality, full of miscalculations on both sides, miscalculations that proved to be among the most fateful in history.

                                      5 out of 5 stars Misreading Hitler: The Seductive Logic of Appeasement.......2006-05-26

                                      Making Friends... is a smoothly written, thoroughly researched and disturbing account of how a politician, Lord Londonderry, could completely misread the motivations and intentions of Hitler and the Nazis. It is a study of how a politician seemingly ignored what the other guy was saying and dismissed the notion that how a government treats its people and implements internal policies indicates how it will operate internationally.
                                      Kershaw points out that Londonderry was not alone in faiing to accurately read Hitler and the Nazis. The understandable disgust after WWI left most British politicians and the British electorate anxious to avoid another bloodletting. Kershaw also carefully points out that there was widespread acceptance of the legitimacy of Germany's claims for rescinding some of the conditions of the Treaty of Versailles.
                                      Londonderry clearly was not a very perceptive, astute or potent politician - but it would be wrong to see him as some aberration or as the British might say, an Upper Class Twit. Kershaw does not make this mistake: he recognizes that, however misguided and poorly executed, Londonderry's realpolitiks were not unreasonable given the intransgience of the French and the hovering threat of Stalin and the SOviets.
                                      The book provides a useful means of pondering how our politicians need to deal with the leaders of North Korea, Iran and fundamentalist Islam in general. Kershaw's book reinforces one clear lesson: Dealing with unprincipled or fanatical leaders with the capability for mayhem can only be done from a position of undeniable military strength and the willingness to use that power. Londonderry's failure was that as Air Minister he failed to provide Britain with the air power needed to deter Hitler and to communicate to his German contacts - Goring, Ribbentrop, von Papen and Hitler - that Britain would use that power. What is scary in today's world is that there are so many who believe that you can talk fanatical political leaders out of trying to fulfill their fantasies. They are today's Londonderrys and too many are too close to the levers of power.

                                      4 out of 5 stars HOW I GOT LOST ON THE ROAD TO WORLD WAR II.......2006-01-30

                                      Kershaw has taken an intriguing topic which is essentially a sidebar to the history of the buildup to, and prosecution of, World War II: why did Lord Londonderry, formerly Britain's Minister of the Air, court the Nazi leaders in the 1930s?

                                      Londonderry's visits with Hitler and Goring in Germany and the highly publicized stay of von Ribbentrop at Londonderry's estate put Londonderry and his wife in an untenable position when it became clear that appeasement wasn't working. Why didn't Londonderry see the signs earlier?

                                      Kershaw argues convincingly that Londonderry was not blind to Hitler's faults but he saw little choice for a militarily enfeebled Britain but to woo Hitler to the bargaining table with concessions, thus buying the British Isles time to rearm. Unfortunately, Londonderry had neither the intelligence nor the political skills to negotiate in the modern political world, where high office and the attendant deference were no longer automatic prerogatives of high birth. Mired in an increasingly untenable position, and with his public image besmirched, Londonderry dug his own hole deeper and deeper in efforts to exonerate himself, especially in regard to his earlier stewardship of the air force. Until the very end, Londonderry never understood that compromises could not work without the necessary force behind it to punish transgressors.

                                      It is interesting to see how little Britain's leaders (Churchill and one or two others excepted) understood the menace that Hitler posed nor how much their own concessions worsened their bargaining (and eventually fighting) position in the struggle to confront a new kind of monster on the European scene.

                                      This piece of excellent scholarship uses Lord Londonderry as the foil with which to see appeasement and the road to war in Europe in the 1930s. An entire generation is understood through this lens, particularly the world of the appeasers and the Nazi elite. For the first time many new pieces of the puzzle are woven together. For instance we learn that the same right wing people like Lord Beaverbrook, who supported appeasement also supported massive rearmament while the Labour politicians were lost in a pacifist dream trying to outlaw bombers on the eve of war and trusting agreements. We finally understand the psychology of appeasement. We see how some right wing politicians misunderstood fascism and that only Winston Churchill alone conceived the threat as it truly was, daring to fight verbally against the Nazi racial laws, which so many on the left and right ignored in favour of economic interpretations. We see here the fear of Bolshevism that led some into the hands of Hitler.

                                      Most remarkable for our own time is the famous call by Londonderry to `understand German needs and policies' in much the same way that we are told today to `understand the root causes of terrorism'. The appeasers in 1938 were asking the world to `understand' Nazism, when the only true course was no understand, no agreements, but only rearmament and the big stick approach. This is excellent scholarship at the highest level, woven with literary talent, showing that history can be truly poetic in its analysis. Through one man we are given a glimpse of an entire world gone mad.

                                      Ian Kershaw continues to add to his list of extraordinarily valuable books on Nazi-era Germany in this volume focusing on Lord Londonderry's activities prior to the World War II. Londonderry (ironically, a cousin of Churchill) took the lead in attempting to improve relations between Britain and Hitler's Germany and, thereby, head off war. By focusing on Londonderry (1878-1949), the reader can come to understand the various reasons why appeasement appealed to so many British politicans and the general public.

                                      Of course, the interesting question is why did Londonderry so embrace the German point of view that he ended up publicly disgraced? Certainly some personal motives played a role, most directly his desire for vindication after being removed from the Cabinet as Air Minister (not to mention his failure to be named Viceroy for India) and generally being humiliated for his visits to Germany (Goering in particular), return visits from Nazi luminaries like Foreign Minister von Ribbentrop, and very public pro-German activities and writings. Kershaw suggests that like many in his aristocratic class, facing increased dimnishment of their wealth and power, Hitler was seen as a helpful bulwark against "Bolshevism" and domestic socialist movements. In exchange for a free hand in Europe, Hitler would protect the prerogatives of the 0.1% of the population that owned 1/3 of Britain's wealth.

                                      Kershaw argues that Hitler was quite masterful in his manipulation of British public opinion--and one can hardly disagree. He also successfully exploited a split in the positions of France and Britain. Through Kershaw's skillful analysis, the genesis and appeal of the appeasement movement become evident. It is no wonder that Chamberlin fell into the trap. For Londonderry and this group, the agreement at Munich was a triumph, because it avoided war and insured a valid sphere of control for Germany. It took both "Krystalnacht" and Hitler's blatant invasion of the remainder of Czechoslovakia before Londonderry began to get the picture. Perhaps the rapid slide downward of the aristocracy after the war is, in part, attributable to the fact that many members shared Londonderry's perspective--and the rest of British society knew it.

                                      As is to be expected, superb research and invaluable notes are part of the package. Like all of Kershaw's volumes, it is well written and easy even for us Yanks to follow as he maneuvers through the ins and out of British politics of the 1930's. The bottom line: the whole appeasement movement (which in hindsight seems somewhat inexplicable) becomes quite understandable after reading this book. That is its greatest contribution.

                                      An intrinsically important and engaging subject treated by Ian Kershaw
                                      in quirky prose and in a numbingly repetitious fashion. Historians,
                                      of course, do a lot of research but they don't have to stuff it all into
                                      one book. A terser narrative perhaps one half the size would have
                                      done the trick beautifully. I read the whole thing but some of it
                                      (especially the overly-detailed figures on Britain's preparations for
                                      airwar under Londonderry's ministry in the '30's) was a slog.
                                      Also, my hardcover edition was full of typos.
