5 out of 5 stars It's a "history mystery".......2000-09-09

The sign of a good book is when you are very sorry to turn the last page! I liked the fact this book combines an interesting mystery with a facts about the United States during the 1920s to 1960s. There are lots of fascinating old pictures to pour over.

5 out of 5 stars A Changed Man, An Old Army Mystery.......2000-08-02

This is a fascinating true mystery! The historical comments are interesting as well. Much of the book reads like a "Little House" book, except for adults, and about a different time period. Humorous anecdotes add a personal touch. The author goes back and forth between the mystery of why her father changed his identity and left his family, to her mother's extensive memoirs of the period between 1919 and 1980, to things happening with her father's family in St. Louis, to world history events. The book is full of photographs stratecically placed. A recommended read!

    Book Description

    The only biography written about Spinoza by someone who knew him well. Spinoza was one of those great men who made himself famous by views that were unusual and unknown to common souls. His father was a Portuguese Jew and because he did not have the means to help his son in business, he allowed Spinoza to study Hebrew literature. Due to the inadequacy of answers to questions voiced to his teacher, Spinoza began to read scripture over and over again, penetrated its obscurity, laid bare its mysteries and brought daylight to the clouds behind which he found truth.

                      4 out of 5 stars So What Can I Eat?!.......2007-01-14

                      Years ago I ate on the food exchange system (which is what the pyramid is) and maintained my weight and felt very healthy. It is very easy to do once you know how. I had slipped away from that kind of eating and gained a lot of weight so I bought this book to refresh my memory of it and update. I am very glad I did as this book is very helpful and has ideas on how to implement it. I haven't tried any of the recipes yet but they sound very good. If you're interested in eating on a food exchange system which I think is a very healthy lifelong way to eat, to help you with more delicious recipes the New Better Homes & Gardens cookbook notes the exchanges (based on the pyramid) in the nutrition section of each recipe. My Mom always cooked from these cookbooks. Another good book to help with portion size is The Portion Plan by Linda Gassenheimer which has wonderful hand visuals for portion sizes. Good luck!

                      5 out of 5 stars Great way to change your lifestyle and become healthy.......2006-12-05

                      She makes this book easy to read & easy to follow. She breaks down the complex pyramid and makes it simple to undertand just how much of what you should be eating. An easy way yo get a good balance into your lifestyle. No quick fads, no "no this or that". Real life, real food with all the trimmings. Just the right amounts.
                      The only way to lose weight and keep it off. Great book! Can't wait for her new one to come out in March!

                      5 out of 5 stars refreshing !!.......2006-06-14

                      The common sense approach to nutrition and healthy eating habits in this book are wonderful. The author is able to give the reader alot of information on dietary guidlines as well as nutrition information- but doesnt make it overwhelming. I love the recipes and think the chicken meatballs are fabulous !!!

                      5 out of 5 stars A must have for todays Living.......2006-06-02

                      I felt that the author was writing in a very personal manner. She made it easy reading and definitly was not a preacher but a teacher. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to understand the basic importance of eating healthy.

                      5 out of 5 stars A must have for anyone who wants to eat right!.......2006-06-02

                      This book was given to me as a gift, and what a wonderful one it was. Zied's book was easy and fun to read. This is definitly not another fad diet book! While reading I felt like one of my friends was explaining the new guidlines and cheering me on to change my eating habits. She makes it so simple to make changes in your everyday routine and they are easy to remember. The recipes are easy, quick, and great tasting. There is no need to ever "diet" after reading this book.

                            Book Description

                            The gardens of the great Edwardian landscape designer, captured in all their glory in 200 color and duotone images from the archives of Country Life. Harold Peto (1854–1933) was one of the most celebrated landscape designers of the Edwardian era. A leading exponent of the ultra-romantic Italianate style so fashionable in the first two decades of the 20th century, he was also influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement. Much admired by the likes of Gertrude Jekyll and Edwin Lutyens, he was recognized as one of the most successful garden designers of his generation and enjoyed a formidable reputation both in England and the South of France. Here, garden historian Robin Whalley's illuminating commentary is brought to life by 200 ravishing photos depicting many of Peto's gardens in their heyday. A splendid volume for garden lovers, designers, and historians.

                                5 out of 5 stars A Gorgeous fashion book.......2006-06-23

                                This is a gorgeous book: the costumes are photographed in full color with large reproductions. Cincinnati obviously has many wonderful pieces in its museum. There are 43 full color (or should I say colour, to go with the title) of costume. A few are details of a costume shown in another plate, otherwise the plates most often contain one, but sometimes 2 or 3 costumes. The pictures have brief captions with them, and more detailed information is included towards the end of the book. There are, in addition, more than 20 black and white historic illustrations.

                                This has a more substantial text than many similar works. The are separate chapters on "Acquiring a French Wardrobe", "The Fabric Scrapbooks of Hannah Ditzler Alspaugh, "Healthful, Artistic and Correct Dress". the bulk of the text is a review of fashion from 1837-1912. The text is happily divided into shorter time periods for a more detailed and meaningful discussion. This modern reader smiled at seeing the styles for 1866-1868 described as "severe", although of course, in context that makes sense. The divisions are not be a set scheme, but according to what the author deems best giving the flow of fashion.

                                There is much additional factual material: a list of abbreviations, a list of sources cited, notes, a glossary, a bibliography and a detailed index. Not only eye-candy, but a good research source.

                                I'm glad that I didn't wear, or worse, have to clean this kind of clothing, but as always for this period, the dresses are swooningly beautiful.

                                          Originally published in 1917, this hard-to-find vintage book on preparing a trousseau for marriage has been reprinted with all the original pages. A vintage guide for the bride-to-be on creating and building a trousseau and planning for her wedding, this book contains many informative topics including: filling the hope chest, initials and monograms for garments, what types of linens to include and how to mark linens, marking the silver, announcing the engagement (including sample announcement card, at home card, wedding invitation), gifts for the bride, gifts from the bride, shower parties, refreshments for the bridal shower, groom's privileges and duties, bride's duties, announcements and invitations, and little bits of wedding history including the first wedding veil, origin of the wedding cake and rice throwing. This book is the perfect gift for the bride-to-be upon her engagement announcement, the relatives of the bride-to-be who want to build a cherished trousseau for their loved one, or a young girl interested in replicating the finer arts that her great grandmother followed when preparing for her wedding. Although styles have changed since the Edwardian era, the recommended objects in the trousseau such as negligees, bridal set, nightdresses, etc., are still more than applicable today. This book is a charming look back at a simpler, quieter time and gives the reader insight into the thought behind wedding preparations of the Edwardian era.

                                            2 out of 5 stars Some Pretty Basic Stuff.......2000-12-20

                                            If you are looking for a book that documents some pretty basic games in an interesting and attractive format, this is the book for you. While there were some new ideas, I found that many of the activities were pretty basic and not worth the price of the book: Tickle Me; Mirror, Mirror (both for children younger than the title suggests); Dressing Up; Color Sorting; and Blowing Bubbles (for kids over two). I'm sure I'll use the book on a rainy day when I am desperate and out of ideas, but I wanted a book of new, creative activities that we could add to our basic list of favorites.

                                                This is a very well written account of Cleve Gray's fascinating life with many large color reproductions including Threnody his famous installation at the Neuberger Museum in Purchase,New York. Rediscover what really good painting is all about! I've seen his paintings in New York City at Berry-Hill Galleries and they are a knockout! Don't miss the book or the paintings!

                                                Weber's book on Gray fills the void on one of America's historically grained and distinctive artists. He draws on much of Gray's life experience, and recounts the cubist, impressionist and abstract influences on Gray's art.

                                                5 out of 5 stars Intelligently written, beautifully illustrated long overdue.......1999-02-03

                                                This book is a long overdue review of the work of Cleve Gray, an underrated modern master of color. The book is extremely well illustrated and written in a personal, highly intelligent style. The style of writing befits this often neglected and apparently misunderstood artist. Perhaps it will help gain Mr. Gray some of the public recognition he deserves for loyally following his highly individualistic and colorful techniques.
