with the varnish off.......2001-01-05
General St. John Richardson Liddell was a biased, cantankerous, violent man devoted to the Confederacy yet doubtful of its ultimate success. This is history with the varnish off; Liddell wrote this record immediately after the war and never expected it to be published in his lifetime. It's one of the essential texts for understanding the Confederate Army of Tennessee and provides great insight into the personalities of its commander. More importantly, it reveals in great detail the mind of one former Confederate.
Book Description
One of the most imaginative mathematicians of the nineteenth century, Sir William Rowan Hamilton (1805--1865) changed the course of modern algebra with his discovery of quaternions in 1843. Although Hamilton's work was largely theoretical, his ideas came to have invaluable practical applications with the advent of quantum mechanics in the twentieth century. In this acclaimed biography, Thomas L. Hankins brings together the many aspects of Hamilton's life and work -- from his significant contributions to mathematics, optics, and mechanics to his passion for metaphysics, poetry, and politics -- fully portraying the brilliant man whose faith and idealism guided him in everything he did.

Customer Reviews:
An Eye-Opener.......2000-10-07
I've always harbored a subconscious guilt whenever I thought about wolves in North America...I knew we'd trumped-up the danger they presented to us, in order to rid the wilderness of their threat to our fat, stupid livestock. Meanwhile we systematically slaughtered their age-old prey, leaving them to starve or become criminals. The clear, poignant and often beautiful writings collected in this book helped me understand consciously what that universal guilt is...and what I feel I must do to redeem my part in it. I must support programs to preserve what Wilderness is left, and return to it the species we have so ruthlessly extirpated. (Wait 'till you read what we did! And for how long! Yipes!) And while teaching me all this, John A. Murray reminded me how wonderful a writer, say, Aldo Leopold is...or introduced me to Edward Hoagland (WOW...thought he was a painter or something. He sure can write!) or Farley Mowat (Knew he wrote. Never knew how well!) Well worth reading!
A great collection of contemporary writings on wolves........1996-05-17
Out Among the Wolves combines writings from some of the best known contemporary writers on wolves in one book. Every essay combines facts with great writing. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about wolves, for the love of them, or knowledge

All my Beads just hit the wall.......2005-08-09
OMG! This could not be harder to follow if it were written in a different language! Even the first basic leaf is not logical with three different wires being called for but only one in the directions..... The pictures are nice, some beautiful flowers, great ideas on what to do with the things once you get them done.... but I'm going back to the internet to get the directions... those are written step by step and easy to understand... I'll get those basics and maybe come back to this for ideas how to put together flowers from those petals....
A Clear Guide to an Old Craft.......2002-07-06
Those who have ever admired the tradional Victorian beaded flowers under glass domes - or who have seen on the net how new techniques have added to this fascinating craft - will welcome the chance to acquire a clearly written, well illustrated beginers instruction manual. Many species of flowers are included from exotic orchids to native favourites; hints on arrangement and display help newcomers make the most of their work. I really got enthused by the photos and followed up with a search on the net to locate clubs and suppliers. I recommend this book to anyone looking to make antiques of the future, or to begin a profitable new hobby.
Not Quite a Beaders "Bible" but close!!.......2002-05-16
While these weren't the first beaded flower patterns in my collection, it was the first book...and I've never regretted my decision to purchase it! It is a wonderful resource, with clear patterns and assembly instructions. The fact that she gives general recommendations for colors then leaves the actual color selection up to the crafter/artist is commendable. (I very rarely use recommended colors in patterns, preferring to go my own way and trust my own color choices. I am most appreciative of the fact that Ms Kelly doesn't try to "hold my hand" when it comes to my creative choices.)
I am currently designing my wedding bouquet, the bouquets for my brides maids, as well as the corsages for the mothers/grandmothers in the wedding party...So far, with the exception of the beaded wheat I'm working on, everything I'm planning on using has come from this book! (As an aside, Ms Kelly does have a beaded wheat pattern available, just not in the book. However, I had already found another pattern to use before I discovered that...) The biggest problem I've had is trying to determine which of her patterns to use, if I don't limit myself, my bouquet is going to be to heavy to carry!
a delight to own.......2002-05-07
A nice addition to my collection. There are plenty of projects. The pictures are nice, the instructions are easy enough to follow and my results with the finished product is very satisfying. This is one book worth having.
Class with Dalene.......2002-05-06
I have the honor of being able to take classes taught by Dalene making the flowers that are shown in this book. I have found the book to be easy to read and very helpful.

An Herb Book For All Seasons!.......1998-10-30
If you want just one book devoted to herbs, this is the one for you. Not only does Adelma describe the various herbs in her 50 gardens at Caprilands (it used to be a goat farm in the 1920's when she and her husband moved there), she tells some great stories related to the plants.
Adelma's lunches and lectures at Caprilands were legendary. This lady deserves more press. I have never met anyone like her. I had the opportunity to spend a few days with her about 20 years ago. I was amazed at how much she knew about herbs and life in general. I will bet that if you read this book, you will want to order all of Adelma's many books. They are all great reads.
Adelma Simmons is always a delight!.......1998-01-29
I have loved every minute of every Adelma Simmons book I have ever read. This lovely lady is the owner and operator of Caprilands Herb Farm in Connecticut, which is the subject of this book. She describes how the garden looks, smells, tastes and is cared for in the "five" seasons of a year--winter, spring, summer, fall and Christmas! Yes, at Caprilands Christmas is a major event. The book is packed with tips on gardening, using herbs and herbal folklore, all interspersed with personal anecdotes and humor. Check out all Adelma's books! They are all fascinating!

Great resource for parents.......2007-08-02
This is a very good resource book for parents. It includes photographs rather than drawings, making it easier to understand the procedures being described. I think this helps parents who may have limited reading skills or for whom English is not their first language. This would be a great book to give as a baby shower gift.

Book Description
Apocalypse Undone recounts Preston Hubbard's four-and-a-half year odyssey from a young, idealistic CCC worker to a much older, troubled man full of contempt for war and those who make it. He survived the Bataan Death March; imprisonment at Camp O'Donnell, where the death rate exceded 400 a day; a jungle work detail on Tayabas Isthmus; the starvation diet of Manila's Bilibid Prison; a 17 day voyage to Japan on a Hell Ship; and a Japanese POW camp bombed by American planes.
Customer Reviews:
A tightly researched, hard hitting account........1999-02-16
Dr. Hubbard presents a story of imprisonment under the Japanese that no one would soon forget. While it contains all of the ingredients of a first rate war memoir, this is no mere tale. The author waited some 40 years to tell his story and has taken the benefit of that time and his extensive education (he holds a PhD in history from Vanderbilt) to analyze and evaluate his thoughts and responses to torture and deprivation. A fine historian, he is able to look past the animosity that anyone would feel toward former torturers and give a detailed and exciting account of a man facing the extremes of human brutality. It is this perspective that sets this book apart from so many other books by former POW's. In a day when "Saving Private Ryan" has introduced a new generation to the realities of the second World War in Europe, this book would well serve to introduce any interested reader to the conditions present in the war in the Pacific. A very readable and engrossing book for any age of teen to adult. My highest recommendation.
