Early History of Thomas Edison and his inventions.......2006-01-25

This is a fascinating history of Thomas A. Edison focused on his inventions. Aimed at the moderately to well-educated reader of the time, the book gives a brief history of the inventor and then details all of his early inventions: the quadruplex, phonograph, toddygraph, electric pen, telephone, megaphone, tasimeter, harmonic engine and the electric light. Of interest is the fact that the book was published in May of 1879 several months prior to the complete electric light breakthrough of 1880-1882. Therefore, it is not surprising that the author considers his earlier inventions much more thoroughly than electric light. There is a first-person quote from a visitor to the Edison laboratory describing what electric light looks like (remember that most of the readers of the book would not yet have been exposed to the concepts). The book contains wonderful detailed lithographs of the inventions and some circuit drawings.

Bottom Line: Great piece of early Edison history reminding us that Edison was a great inventor long before the light bulb.

Book Description

American youths to-day are given, if of a mechanical turn of mind, to amateur telegraphy or telephony, but seldom, if ever, have to make any part of the system constructed. In Edison's boyish days it was quite different, and telegraphic supplies were hard to obtain. But he and his "chum" had a line between their homes, built of common stove-pipe wire. The insulators were bottles set on nails driven into trees and short poles.

Text Only.......2007-10-19

This book is fine for what it is, but it consists merely of a reprint of the original text. None of the original figures or illustrations are included, and these are an integral part of the book.

Bad work.......2005-04-22

It is quite a shame, that this facsimile is so badly made. The pictures are really bad reproduced and why is it, that page 117 is not there. Instead page 113 is shown one more time. And in several places the text is distorted from the scanning.

shameless or blind.......2003-07-17

Glorifying and corny. Unconditional praise of Edison achievements. Though the authors are clearly well-read, too many facts are ignored in the account of the circumnstances that lead Edison to the accumulation of patents. Lacks any critic view and end up creating an image of an "american hero" that is as ridiculous as untruth. I quote, just as an example, "In fact, if it were not for Edison's peculiar mentality, that refuses to recognize anything as impossible until indubitably demonstrated to be so, the production of motion pictures would certainly have been delayed for years, if not for all time."
Anyone seriously interested on the subject of the birht of cinema would recognize this as total nonsense or shameless manipulation of facts.
A book to avoid by anyone interested in having a truthfull and independent view on history.

Edison - Creator of Industry.......2003-02-01

The invention of the first light bulb inaugurated a new age for man: Electricity. Just as Edison had to create the tools to make the first bulb, he had to create the industry to use it. He did, and in doing so he assembled the first research laboratory and gathered around him a collection of great minds -- a rich assortment of men with varying talents.

1) use a disk as a substitute textbook -- have all your students bring in their own blank disks and make copies at your computer center or library;

2) take texts from several disks and make your own anthology, as easily as you might make a "mix" of your favorite music.

Super book - well researched, well written, and very thorough. Haffner covers just about everything parents need to know, sharing her own teaching and mothering experiences in a most valuable way. By far, the best book on this topic I have read.

As a pastor and a parent, I found this book accessible, interesting, to the point and a rich resource! I would recommend it to any parent, teacher or religious leader.

Excellent resource.......2007-07-24

Raising a sexually healthy child is a challenge in our world and Debra Haffner's book provides practical, realistic advice for parents with children of all ages. It's important to remember that being sexually healthy doesn't mean having sex! Among other things, it means understanding sexuality enough to decide when, why, how, and with whom to have sex...someday.

I should have bought this book years ago!!!! It is filled with a wealth of information that ALL parents need to know. This book is a keeper and a book that I know I will continue to reference as my 6 and 8 year olds get older!!

Thank goodness for Reverend Haffner!.......2007-07-21

With all the negativity towards sexuality coming from so many religious voices these days, it is so wonderful to have a religious leader who is willing to speak articulately, passionately and intelligently about sexuality education and about the role that parents, schools and religious institutions play in supporting the development of sexually healthy adults by educating children in a sensitive and age-appropriate manner. This book is a terrific resource for parents -- I wish my parents had had access to it when I was growing up!

Amazon.com

According to author and restaurateur Michael Turback, the ice cream sundae is as much of an American tradition as baseball and apple pie. A Month of Sundaes is a historical book about ice cream, with sundae lore and recipes generously spread throughout. The history lesson starts in the 1700s, when ice cream was served only in the finest homes. Interestingly, it was then-ambassador-to-France Thomas Jefferson's obsession with ice cream that brought new versions of the dessert across the Atlantic. Fortunately, the colonists took to the new treat as well and Turback follows ice cream's trail across the continent and over the next 250 years, ending with current tales of other titans of the ice cream world, including Dreyer's and Ben & Jerry's. The recipes are scattered throughout, including some from-scratch ice cream--even explaining the true technical difference between vanilla and French vanilla. There are also many different sauces, with stories of those who created the various concoctions. More of a novelty than a necessity, A Month of Sundaes is most appropriately suited for the ice cream obsessed. --Teresa Simanton

An outstanding culinary history.......2002-09-08

Over a hundred recipes for both traditional and innovative Sunday delights blends American dessert lore and history with dishes which can be easily reproduced in modern kitchens. From vintage ads to the history of sundae makers who served the rich in more ways than one, A Month Of Sundaes is an outstanding culinary history and highly recommended cookbook that will delight a wide audience.

Making a great sundae is almost as much fun as eating one!.......2002-08-10

Enhanced with 150 ice cream sundae related recipes ranging from Royal George Sundae to Chocolate Jalapeno Sundae, A Month Of Sundaes also offers the answer to one of oldest questions to ever arise from the soda fountain generation -- who invented the ice cream sundae? Author Michael Turback has laced this wonderful combination of history and recipes with the folklore, mythology, and nostalgia associated with this memorable leisure time concoction. Making a great sundae is almost as much fun as eating one! If you've ever enjoyed this great American ice cream dessert, then you'll want to read Michael Turback's A Month Of Sundaes!

Love it!!.......2002-08-02

I Love this book!! It takes America's favorite dessert and whirls you through American history. Did you know that some of our national heroes were Soda Jerks? From presidents to revolutionaries, starlets to classic comediennes, people of great renown have made stop at the local soda foundation.
It even helped me discover history about my own neighborhood ice cream parlor.

Michael Turback wonderfully writes about of all things Sundae. Plus he throws in 150 recipes to delight your taste buds and fire your imagination. It has great pictures and it is a wonderful read. It should be on everyone's summer reading list. Adults to kids will find a warm place for this chilly delight.

Love it!!.......2002-08-02

More Than A Cookbook.......2002-05-16

Sundaes are really easy to make --- and they always make your friends happy. But I never knew there were so many variations before. With the help of this book, I'm going to give a knockout of a Sundae party on Memorial Day Weekend for all the friends, and relatives with little kids we've invited.

A Month of Sundaes also tells you how to make the ice creams and syrups but I'll just buy most of the ingredients---including frozen yogurt for everybody who is worried about their waistline.

There's a lot more to this book than just recipes---my son, who is 11, says he is going to use it for his term paper on "Something Unusual About American History."

It is full of interesting little stories about ice cream and Thomas Jefferson, Sundaes and famous movies stars, etc. I'm thinking of getting another copy for my son to give to his grandfather, who is a World War II buff, on Father's Day, because it has a whole chapter about the ingenuity of soldiers and sailors in coming up with warfront ice cream treats.

This book is hardcover and has great pictures. It's a lot of fun and could solve many gift giving problems.

Can't think of a better book to read during this frustrating heat wave! I'm definitely an ice-cream lover, but who isn't? So this book is perfect for me. I heard a segment about this book a few weeks ago on National Public Radio, so I checked it out and thought it was great. It has a history of the sundae and sort of doubles as a recipe book, with a bunch of sundae recipes--two of which I've tried out myself at home--and a list of the best places in the U.S. to buy sundaes. I'm giving it 5 stars: you'll love it, but after a few weeks it might force you into a new workout regimen.

Book Description

The Beagle, though one of the smallest members of the hound family, is a giant in terms of affection, enthusiasm, and general amiability. A gentle house pet, it is wonderful with children. Here is the Beagle's history, as well as a detailed description of its traits, and advice on its training and care. Books in this handsomely produced series are written especially for new and soon-to-be pet owners. Most volumes, filled with striking color illustrations, give in-depth presentations of the needs and traits of specific dog breeds. Starting this season,Living With a Pet books are expanding to include other animals that have become popular as house pets. Before acquiring a pet, potential buyers need to know: Is the animal good with children? Which dog breeds make good hunters, guard dogs, or farm dogs? Which animals make ideal apartment pets? Each title in this series gives readers a detailed understanding of the animal's daily needs, special abilities, physical traits, temperament, susceptibility to health problems, and the many other details prospective owners need to know before acquiring a pet. All Living With a Pet titles are hardcover editions with jackets, and all have color photos on every two-page spread. Interesting sidebars appear throughout the text.

Beagle Savvy Book!.......2006-01-30

"Living With A Beagle" is an excellent new book about beagles, not your run of the mill "boilerplate" dog book. The author has been involved in beagles for many years and is also a veternarian! I was particularly pleased to see the information on choosing a reputable breeder, and how to determine if you are dealing with one when purchasing your beagle pup.
Due to her medical background, there is also lots of up to date info on vaccinations, disease, and even doggie first aid. I most heartily reccomend this book to any one who owns, or expecially anyone who is thinking of getting a beagle!

Kids are angels.......2002-01-20

This is a real life account of different situations where children show their innocence, unconditional love, acceptance and wisdom. They are actually teachers casting different perspective on life and human relationships that urge us reset our priorities. We adults might see the world a lot more than kids do, and we might have too much pre-occupations. But these stories show kids are angels sent from the above who, through uncalculated actions and openness with feelings and thoughts, make our days much brighter and happier. A touching and inspiring book for parents and adults.

A beautiful tribute to children and their innocence.......2000-06-14

The Greatest Gifts Our Children Give To Us is a book that beautifully shows the innocence of children and what we can learn from them each day. The stories are wonderfully written and very touching.

an important book on the study of gender and the Holocaust.......2004-11-26

This book is an excellent contribution to the study of women and the Holocaust. Many books concentrate primarily on men and the Holocaust. This book provides various perspectives and is a valuable book for scholars and students of the Holocaust.

EXCELLENT RESOURCE.......2003-02-21

I used this book when I was writing the memoir RENA'S PROMISE: A STORY OF SISTERS IN AUSCHWITZ, which is the story of a woman on the first transport of women into Auschwitz. Aside from the Auschwitz Chronicles, this was the only text I could find that spoke of this transport, which was also the very first transport into Auschwitz.
This book helped me further my research and provided me with invaluable information that allowed the survivor I was writing about to validate many facts that she remembered--thereby validating her story, her memories and the truth that women were targeted far more rigorously than men. It is amazing any of them survived.

crucial for feminist studies, the holocaust, minority lit........1999-01-18

This anthology is fascinating, moving, sad, horrifying and inspiring. It revises our notion of what Holocaust literature is, and shows us how very differently women experienced and wrote about it. The book's second section contains excellent essays about women and the Holocaust. In short, a must for feminist readers and anyone interested in Holocaust studies, genocide studies, and the literature of witness.
