Book Description

For POWs of any war, talking about what happened to them is difficult. But even more painful is talking about what happened inside them. The physical, mental, and emotional effects never quite heal. They serve as constant reminders of the ordeal.

This gripping memoir tells the story of Second Lieutenant Odell Myers, a pilot in the 438th Squadron, 319th Medium Bombardment Group, 12th USAAF, who was captured by the Germans on three different occasions and imprisoned for almost three years. It is also the story of the men who were imprisoned with him. He was first seized on December 4, 1942, after his plane was shot down over Bizerte, Tunisia, then hospitalized in North Africa and Sicily, and finally imprisoned in Chieti, Italy. The Italian surrender on September 8, 1943, caused his release, but he obeyed an Allied order to remain at the camp in Chieti and was then captured again and sent to a transient camp in Italy. On his first night there he escaped and held out for five weeks before he was captured the third time north of the Biferno River. He was sent to a camp at Barth, Pomerania, where he remained until liberated by Russian forces on May 1, 1945.

5 out of 5 stars Thanks to my dad for this insight into his life.......2007-05-02

This is not an unbaised review. I am not going to comment on the quality of the writing or the accuracy of the content. All I will say is thank you to my father for sharing this story with his family and friends. He kept the contents of this book to himself for so many years, and we all now have a new understanding of who he is and what he has experienced. Even though we know the central character, we were all engaged in this account and hope you find it just as engaging.

5 out of 5 stars Well written book on Stalag Luft I.......2002-05-05

I bought 3 copies of this book one for my son and one for my daughter so that they could see what life was like for their grandfather and I kept a copy. The book was riveting and especially the pages on Hauptmann von Beck who showed kindness to the prisoners by smuggling food in his trousers into the South Compound.

      Beloved and much respected friend in Christ - from a member - like obligation (as one branch on the tree is bound to do to the other) and a fellow-working desire, I wish unto you the open well-spring of grace, which God in Christ Jesus hath manifested in our humanity; so that it may richly spring up in you, and the divine sun may thereby cast the influence of its love-beams into the soul; and also therewith stir up and open the great magnetic hunger of the soul (being the true divine mouth) after Christ's flesh and blood, together with bodily welfare.

              5 out of 5 stars a must have for yoga teachers.......2007-07-12

              If you teach or are serious about yoga and are a woman, get this book. The Iyengar name continues to never disappoint. Its a great reference book when you are finished reading.

              5 out of 5 stars A great tool for beginners.......2006-01-13

              I first got this book from the library when I was waiting to have surgery for uterine growths. I had never done yoga, and I was looking for a way to ease my pain. This book can actually help with many mild medical conditions. It is set up in an easy to reference way, with lots of pictures and clear, detailed descriptions. Many of the positions even have 2 possible methods, one for the novice, and one for the advanced student. This is great when you are first starting out and you lack flexibility.
              My favorite thing about the book is that it allows you to look up positions by name and by function. If you want to ease back pain, or just get more flexibility in your back, you can reference moves that aid the spine. There are even suggestions for building a routine.
              I highly reccomend this book.

              5 out of 5 stars Great book!.......2005-07-28

              Great book! Very practical information. I have bought this book when I was pregnant. I was not confused what I can or what I can not during pregnancy. As well the pictures help believe that is possible to do yoga even nine month pregnant!

              3 out of 5 stars Yoga taught the traditional Eastern way.......2004-01-23

              This is a reference guide written by Geeta Iyengar, daughter of BKS Iyengar, probably the most famous living yogi. The book is designed specifically for women who wish to develop their own self-study of yoga (Yoga Sadhana), and it covers not only asanas (postures) but also the other vital components of traditional yoga such as pranayama (breath) and meditation.

              Geeta is clearly a master yoga practitioner who has created a comprehensive, thoughtful manual, but her book was not at all what I was looking for. Although I have practiced yoga at home for over two years, I was overwhelmed by the level of detail in the book. In addition, I found it difficult to follow, partly because the author uses only the original Sanskirt names for the poses and partly because the visual guides to the poses were all placed at the end of the book (rather than interpersed side-by-side to the instructional information included throughout).

              This book would definitely not be appropriate for the casual, Westernized yoga practitioner, especially not someone who is using yoga primarily as a form of fitness. However, for someone who wishes to extend their yoga practice beyond the poses as well as to connect with yoga's original Eastern roots, this book may be ideal.

              3 out of 5 stars Competent Reference Book.......2001-12-06

              This book, written by the daughter of the famous teacher, B.K.S. Iyengar, is a nice enough reference book but would not be my first choice for a beginning North American yoga student. It contains brief, rather dry, descriptions of yoga philosophy (neither engaging for a novice nor sophisticated enough for a serious student of yoga). The book contains many useful black and white photos of yoga poses. There is a good section on yoga during pregnancy.
              However, this book is not as visually appealing as many others on the market. There are several recently published yoga books with large color photos that lie flat for use during practice and which have more readable text. For example, Mira Mehta, a long time student of B.K.S. Iyengar, has a couple of nice books. I particularly like her book, How to Use Yoga. Mr. Iyengar, himself, has written many books, and his new book, Yoga: the Path to Holistic Health, is lovely.

                      Book Description

                      What's the difference between a wrap and a burrito? The burrito was invented in northern Mexico as a convenient way for cowboys to pack a lunch. Filled with traditional Mexican ingredients, it's become practically a staple food. A wrap, on the other hand, is like a burrito with frequent flier miles. International flavor? That's just the beginning -- wraps accept no limitations in the pursuit of delicious variety. Why not try an Italian wrap with pine nuts and bell pepper? Or a Thai wrap flavored with ginger and curry? Why not an eggs Benedict wrap? Painless to prepare and packed with flavor, wraps make a great breakfast on the go, lunch at the park, or quick dinner. From Cajun spice to vegetarian delights, Wraps features dozens of recipes for festive combinations and extraordinary fillings that will change forever the way you think about burritos. Isn't it time you embraced the greater potential of the tortilla?

                      3 out of 5 stars Pretty, But Disappointing.......2007-09-27

                      The photography is beautiful, but the title is misleading if you equate 'easy' with 'quick' or 'convenient'. This book has some wonderful recipes that would be great for a brunch or other planned get-together, but it is totally unsuited as a guide for your average take-along meal. Most of the wraps don't travel well, although they are good when eaten immediately after being made, and many of the recipes can be fairly time-consuming. The best recipes are in the breakfast section - if you have time to make them, the Apple Jack wraps are great for feeding a busy family as they rush out the door on a weekday morning. Hot oatmeal on the go!

                      5 out of 5 stars A great book with yummy recipies.......2006-10-20

                      This is a great book, I made a few recipies in it and really I only had one wrap that turned out bad. Other than that, everything in this book is really easy to make and from what I've had, the food has been excellent.

                      5 out of 5 stars Fun book.......2006-07-13

                      This has a fun, international and cuisine-style selection, but with minimal exotic-ingredient searching. Sometimes I even make the recipes - dare I say it - without the wrap. Sometimes you want a cookbook that has authentic, exotic recipes, but other times you want a fun, easy way to sample basic versions of different style food - Creole, Thai, German, French, South American, Jamaican, etc.

                      4 out of 5 stars Good bood arrived in Bad shape.......2005-09-27

                      The book is excellent, but the vendor has managed to leave quite a few of his/her marks on it. I supposedly bought a "like new" copy, but "much much shabbily used" would be more like it.
                      The recipes themselves are adventurous, versatile and achievable.

                      5 out of 5 stars Great recipes for picnics or food on the go........2005-05-19

                      I do a lot of hiking & bike riding, and I bought this book to get some ideas for lunches that I could make in the morning and take with me. As for the previous review's comments, this book does have some recipes with unusual ingredients, but most are easily found in an average grocery store. This book does not promise to be a pantry-cookbook (in other words, you may not have all the ingredients on hand). What it does deliver is many great recipes for wraps. Some of my favorites are the "Pizza Pie" wrap, "Ice Cream wrapwich" and the Ceasar wrap (called "Render unto caesar"). Give this book a try and I think you will find several if not many recipes that you will want to make again and again.

                      1 out of 5 stars Good pictures, bad info.......2003-03-21

                      This book is totally inappropriate for anyone looking for how to properly care for a hedgehog. Pictures shown have no relation to the text. For example, a picture with a person holding a hedgehog with bare hands has a caption that says to always hold hedgehogs with a glove- which isn't a very good idea. It obviously wasn't edited very well- some parts are very redundant. Mr. Kelsey-wood obviously didn't put very much time into content- more effort went into photographs. The photographs, however, are great. If you want a book of hedgehog pictures, this is a good one. If you want a book with content on how to take care of hedgehogs, you should buy another book.

                      1 out of 5 stars Good photos, terrible information.......2001-09-20

                      All of Kelsey-Woods' books have terrific photos, but poorly organized and often inaccurate information. Sections on hedgehog diet recommend foods that are high in fat, low in protein -- exactly the opposite of what a hedgehog needs. He also recommends the use of gloves while handling hedgehogs -- a true no-no if you ever expect your pet to bond with you. The habitats shown in the book are not large enough for an active hedgehog.

                      This book is widely distributed, and I am sad every time I see it displayed in a bookstore. Hedgehogs all over the country are receiving sub-standard care because of this book.

                      2 out of 5 stars Not Worth the Money.......1998-01-01

                      There is a lot of mis-information in this book. I am a Hedgehog owner and I disagree with many of the handling tips - such as "always wear gloves" - that Mr. Kelsey-Wood recommends. An interesting note: all of the photos show hedgies being held without gloves. This book has a lot of glossy pictures that are not related to the text on the page. This confuses the reader who may be looking for an illustration of the text being read. It is not a very well organized book and should not be used by a novice Hedgehog owner.

                            Book Description

                            Charles Willson Peale was one of the most extraordinary figures of the early Republic, most famous perhaps as the painter of more than a thousand portraits of the generation that won American independence. He also built up a private museum of natural history and art, which he intended as an institution that would be his legacy to the nation. (He led an expedition to exhume and mount the skeleton of the American mastodon, an epochal event in the new science of paleonotology). He was a major player in many of the young nation's significant cultural and political events. Drawing on his diaries and letters, Peale writes of his service in the Philadelphia militia during the Revolution and his fighting at the Battle of Princeton. He includes descriptions of his difficult involvement in Philadelphia's radical republican politics and his participation in the American Philosophical Society, where he won the friendship of men like Jefferson and Franklin.

                              Pen and Sword Books are proud to be reissuing this, the only book written by the legendary 'legless' ace Douglas Bader (immortalized by the film Reach For the Sky).

                              He tells the inspiring story of the Battle of Britain from the viewpoint of 'The Few'. Using superb illustrations he traces the development of the Spitfire and Hurricane, and describes the nail-biting actions of those who flew them against far superior numbers of enemy aircraft. As an added bonus, other well-known fighter aces including Johnnie Johnson, "Laddie' Lucas and Max Aitken contribute to Douglas's book, no doubt out of affection and respect.

                              This is a really important contribution to RAF history by one of the greatest - and certainly the most famous - pilots of the Second World War.

                              Most Americans probably don't hold Bader in quite the same esteem that the Brits do, but they should. He was an extraordinary person, pilot, warrior, and gentleman. I really enjoyed his discussions of the Hurricane and Spitfire. A must have for any warplane enthusiast.

                              4 out of 5 stars Light Read For Serious WW2 Readers........2006-01-09

                              I purchased and just got a used copy of this hardcover edition book and was very surprised. It is pretty light on the words and very very heavy on photos. I bought this after reading "Reach For The Sky" the biography of Bader's war years, a highly recommended book. This I guess since it's autobiographical, and Bader not wanting to crow to loudly talks a little about himself and a little about his fellow pilots. Its about 180 pages long and I'd say has about half of that with solid text and half filled with cool photos, many in colour. A worthwhile book but didn't really enlighten any past "Reach For The Sky". A good chapter on Hurricat's though, Hurricanes that were rocket catapulted off merchant ships decks to defend against Condor bombers. The pilot would have to bail out after action because not enough fuel to reach land! Desperate times and all that, eh old boy?

                              5 out of 5 stars A wonderful book with as stunning of photos!.......2000-03-27

                              Douglas Bader was my Fathers Hero when he was growing up. The reason for this is douglas Bader lost his legs in a aircraft crash. And my father was unable to walk due to Polio. He loved this book as did I. There are some very very good photos of spitfire's and Hurricanes, these tell what it was like!

                              Ever wondered what it was like to be back in WWII flying the most beautiful aircraft in the sky, the spitfire? If so you need to buy this book!
