Under The Shade Of The Trees: Thomas (Stonewall) Jackson's Life at Jackson's Mill

Book Description

While much has been written about General Thomas (Stonewall) Jackson, the great tactician of the Confederate Army, little attention has been given to young Tom Jackson during his formative years. Tom Jackson was orphaned at an early age, was awkward, shy and labeled by some as slow to learn. This is the story of the exceptional boy who, through determination, hard work and a little good luck, overcame his disadvantages to become the legendary General Stonewall Jackson, an honored leader of men.

OUTSTANDING.......2000-09-05

Under The Shade of the Trees is a refreshing look at the background and ultimate creation of one of America's Heros! Not often does history reveal the circumstances behind the man, however in this case you not only get to know Thomas Jackson but even get a chance to relate to his upbringing. Easy to read and and an obvious understanding for historical facts Norman puts a fine touch to a complicated man! Even if you are not a history buff you'll enjoy this one! Well done!

NEW INFORMATION.......2000-08-22

THIS BOOK CONTAINS SO MUCH NEW INFORMATION THAT I HAVE DEVELOPED A NEW WAY TO LOOK AT JACKSON AS AN HISTORICAL FIGURE. IT IS VERY WELL WRITTEN AND OFFERS A SMOOTHNESS THAT IS VERY COMFORTING, ESPECIALLY FOR HISTORICAL INFORMATION...WHICH IS NORMALLY DRY AND ROUGH . THIS BOOK ISNT....YOU'LL BE SUPRISED. I CANT WAIT FOR MR NORMAN'S NEXT EFFORT.

Review of Under The Shade of the Trees.......2000-06-28

During the Civil War, General Robert E. Lee bemoaned the loss of his "right arm," the famous General Thomas Jackson of Virginia/West Virginia. "Stonewall" Jackson had come upon the scene following a meteoric rise in leadership in the Confederate Army. While many books of Stonewall's generalship exist, little has been written about his youth. Now, a native West Virginian from the Jackson's Mill locale explains how young Tom survived despite being orphaned and shy. Drawing upon Jackson's official biography, his early letters, the archives of the West Virginia Cultural Center, and Jackson's Mill sources, Dennis Norman has reconstructed Jackson's juvenile days. Stonewall and his boyhood friends played under the shady sugar maple trees. The book title, however, is in reference to the general's last words to "...cross over the river, and rest under the shade of the trees." Jackson's Mill was also like that. Young Stonewall fished, raced horses, performed mill site chores, and planned for his future. His unique life style was already showing and his opportunities only around the corner. Norman details Jackson's first political involvement, his trip to the Ohio River,and how a possible second place score in a West Point exam did not count him out for the appointment. Author Norman treats his own admiration for Jackson with the respect of a researcher, and yet presents an easy reading, interesting true story.

A More Balanced Overview.......2007-02-02

Some of the books about organic foods out there stress the (sometimes unconvincing) benefits of purchasing organic food and dismiss evidence which doesn't back up their claims. I feel that this book gives a more balanced overview. While some sections are more in depth than the average reader would want, I think that it gives a wealth of information and leaves it to the consumer to decide what is most important to them when buying organic and how to choose products which compliment their views.

A Reasoned Approach to Organics.......2006-10-09

Contrary to what the religious wing of the organics movement might want, this book is a balanced, reasoned approach to organics. I checked into author Perry's background (what I could find) and there is no connection to the mega food industry. She's a small farmer with a CSA, organic of course.

The book surveys the broad realm of organic products and offers positive, helpful advice -- what's good to buy, what makes no sense, etc. And book does a great job of covering the history and philosophy of organic agriculture.

Two thumbs up, or three if you're one of those people mutated by all the pesticides floating around.

A Field Guide to Buying Organic.......2006-06-30

This book has been SO helpful in deciding which foods are worth buying organic and which ones you can safely buy conventional. I was planning on switching to all or mostly organic, but my budget just woulnd't have allowed that, so I picked up this book at the library to help me decide what to buy. For example, I'm going to keep buying regular skim milk because there were nearly no presticide residues found in it, but because pesticides hold in fats, there were a lot found in whole milk, cheese, and butter, because of the fat, so I plan to buy those organic. It also made me realize hormones in milk and meat were probably not as much of a problem as organic advocates would have you believe. I plan to buy organic fruits and veggies, and I'm still deciding on meats. These authors don't recommend all organic, but they don't seem to be in the pocket of the big farms OR the organic growers. They form their own conclusions and opinions. Great and helpful book.

Very biased.......2006-06-30

I believe that these authors received a big kickback from large factory farms and big business.

Empowered with the knowledge.......2006-01-05

Before I started reading this book, I wondered whether to start on organic foods or not (as I don't like spending money). After reading it I now have a plan of transforming step by step.
I understand why the previous review says it's confusing-it gives so many facts from all aspects and it contains lots of scientific & technical details that even a biology PhD student like me doesn't feel comfortable with.
But this is exactly what makes it believable. I've read a few thin books advocating organic foods that cite only evidence supporting their idea. I'm sick of them-superficial works backed by pure financial interests. This book, on the contrary, presents (to the best of their capabilities) impartial data. This is honesty.
The book is more than "best bets" charts that are concluded from Total Diet study. I don't any more take for granted things I eat.
Being health conscious, I won't stop at this book alone and will certainly continue to monitor future trends.
Overall, I feel this book is well worth the read.

Low-Carb Lifestyle Made Easy.......2006-01-18

Tod Dimmick books are beyond helpful; they are also fun, creative and realistic. With nearly 250 recipes, Tod has branched out into the Low-Carb lifestyle. Each recipe also provides a complete nutritional analysis for carbs and protein.

The Italian Herb Omelet is delicious to make and has no carbohydrates, so if you skip the toast, you are already ahead of the game for the day. The "Magic Eggs" chapter brightens up your morning with recipes that include healthy ingredients like baby spinach (more like adding herbs than spinach) and portobello mushrooms and salmon.

By rolling roast beef up in watercress there is no need for rolls and the tuna salad wraps encourage you to enjoy tuna without bread. By just changing one aspect of a recipe, Tod succeeds in cutting out the carbs or making the recipe very low carb.

Some of the delicious recipes include:

Rosemary-Lemon Halibut
Sesame-Scallion Chicken Stir-Fry
Quick-Grilled Beef Satay
White Beans with Olive Oil, Gorgonzola, and Fresh Sage
Grilled Vegetable Kebabs
Iceberg Nests with Avocado, Bacon, and Tomato
Strawberry Cheesecake Cupcakes
Sherried Pears

Tod Dimmick's books always provide delicious recipes that don't take long to prepare. The extra information sections also enlighten and entertain.

Useful, delightful, but not strictly LOW carb recipes.......2005-06-18

Along comes another LC cookbook, sayeth the powers at Amazon, and lo I buy and test; for such is the compulsion of the dieting reviewer.

Not normally someone to pick up the books with titles that suggest I may have lower-than-average intelligence (guilty conscience perhaps?), nevertheless I couldn't resist the allure of "quick and easy". Tod Dimmick has written a cookbook that promises several things in the introduction:
* Use high-quality, low-carb ingredients
* Keep it simple
* Call for accessible ingredients
* Avoid processed foods
* Take advantage of quick cooking methods
* Keep an eye on saturated fat
* Control expense
* Add in fun and flavor
My job, as I see it, is to test how well these promises are carried out by actually performing the recipes in my average home kitchen. This time I tried four appetizers, three breakfasts (aside from the ever-present omelet recipes that *every* LCCB has, and which I am tiring of rapidly; besides, it's hard to mess up a basic egg/meat/veggie recipe if your cooking method is good), two seafood main courses, a meat loaf, a kid-friendly chicken dinner, a salad and three dessert selections. Additionally, there were a few dozen recipes that were so similar to recipes from other LCCBs that I didn't even need to try them yet again to know exactly how they would turn out - simple and classic dishes that are universally LC, like grilled steak with seasonings, wine, and butter or roasted veggie side dishes. In all, I feel confidently familiar with at least half of the recipes in TCIGTQ&ELCM.

My verdict: this book lived up to its promises, mostly. There were few enough ingredients, easy to understand instructions, and everything was fresh, unprocessed, inexpensive and accessible at my supermarket. Vegetables were emphasized in most main dish recipes, putting an end to the myth that LC means lacking nutrition and variety. There was a lot of leeway in choosing cuts of meat based on personal preference and budget. Nearly everything had a built-in guarantee of good flavor because that is what you get when you use a very few fresh, unprocessed ingredients in simple recipes that call for quick cooking methods. Looked at that way, it's hard for this cookbook to fail.

As for being low carb, my impression is that about half of the overall recipes were truly a traditional, Atkins-style low carb, the other half is what might be called "good carb", of the kind that you might find on a South Beach diet, for instance. I suppose that somebody on a "good carb" type diet would have no trouble with the low carb dishes, but a traditional Atkins dieter would have to stay away from the "good carb" recipes for sure. Some high-carb fruits were called for frequently in the breakfast and dessert sections: also, unprocessed bran was used as a substitute for many starchy things including bread crumbs, and while that's okay for some LC diets, it's troublesome for Atkins and Paleo diets. That does limit a strict low-carber severely, and it was a little disappointing to me, given the title that promised *low* carb. I just wish that the Good Carb and Low Carb recipes were marked as such.

I can sincerely rave that I loved what I tried (exceptions: anything that tried to imitate bakery items that are normally made with wheat flour. The pancake and cookie recipes blew chunks IMHO. Sorry Mr. Dimmick, but soy flour and other LC bake mixes just don't taste right). Even where it wasn't terribly original, this cookbook can't be faulted for taking advantage of the tried-and-true. Sometimes all I needed was a reminder that yes, stuffed peppers can be translated low carb, and that Oh yeah, classic salsa and hot artichoke dips are ready-made as low carb. What can I say, there is a fine line between Id__t and genius.

Delicious and Quick.......2005-06-05

I was really impresed by the Idiot's Guide to low carbing. Where certain other low carb books are thinly veiled attempts to bash the lifestyle, the Idiot's Guide explains why this way of life is so healthy.

The book is primarily full of great low carb recipes. There are breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks, desserts, and even an entire section dedicated to kid-friendly meals.

These aren't obscure meals that take a gourmet to appreciate. They are quick, easy, and very tasty. You get a lightning chicken stew, almond oatmeal cookies, meatloaf, chicken marsala, and tostadas. There are meals for vegetarians, meals for steak-lovers, and everyone in between.

There's also information on low carbing, if you somehow got this book without knowing what a low carb diet is about. There's background information about carbs, about how our modern diet is overloaded with sugar. It encourages you to eat fresh fruits and veggies, to find balance in your food.

Easy-to-make, mouth-wateringly delicious, low-carb recipes.......2005-05-09

Packed from cover to cover with easy-to-make, mouth-wateringly delicious, low-carb recipes that can be prepared by even the most novice kitchen chef in twenty minutes or less, The Complete Idiot's Guide To Quick & Easy Low-Carb Meals is one of the most "user friendly" cookbooks that anyone could ever hope to encounter on their search for low-carb lunches, dinners, snacks, or desserts. With ever recipe being accompanied by a complete nutritional analysis (including carbs, proteins, and glycemic index data), the dishes range from Blueberry-Vanilla Breakfast Yogurt; Tuna-Stuffed Tomatoes; Curried Pork; and Moroccan Lamb Kebabs; to Sauteed Mushroom Enchiladas; Ham Steaks with Sweet Mustard Sauce; Lightning Chicken Stew; and Almond Chocolate Parfaits. Enhanced with a glossary, an extensive list of resources, a glycemic index and carbohydrate list, and a comprehensive index, The Complete Idiot's Guide To Quick & Easy Low-Carb Meals is a welcome and highly recommended addition to any and all family cookbook collections!

An Idiot's For Smart People!.......2005-05-04

In a motivated mood, I asked my doctor recently to give me a good diet plan so I could take off many unwanted pounds. He didn't skip a beat. He told me that a healthy, balanced diet with low carbohydrate intake and daily exercise works. I have been at it for over three months now and the results in terms of pounds and inches lost are excellent. What a great way to lose weight, in a healthy manner, with a minimal amount of suffering. I am not feeling hungry, although I still long for certain foods. Thus, I have been experimenting with various low carbohydrate recipes, as I have grown a little bored with broiled meats, fish, omelettes and plain salad.

Tod Dimmick's "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Quick and Easy Low-Carb Meals" is more than worthy of your attention if you are looking for good tasting food and meals with low carb counts. The book is designed for people on the go, who do not aspire to be Julia Child, and wish to adhere to a low carbohydrate lifestyle. All the recipes in this book, (almost 250), can be prepared in 20 minutes or less. From stocking your pantry through terrific ways to prepare breakfast, lunch, dinner, appetizers, snacks - there are choices galore to make your meals more exciting and interesting. Low carb doesn't have to mean "deprived." There is even a section for kids, who are difficult to tempt, especially when their friends are gorging on fast foods.

I have had the cookbook for a little over a week and checked-out the chapters on fish, white meat, beef and lamb, bean cuisine, salads, veggies and desserts. So far, I have made: Low-Carb French Toast with Fresh Strawberries (yum!), Low-Carb Toasted Almond Wheat Cereal, and Florentine Scramble for breakfast; Ham and Swiss Roll-Ups, Turkey, Arugula and Almond Roll-Ups, an Open-Faced Tomato and Provolone Sandwich, and a Tuna Salad Wrap for lunch; Ginger Scallops, Broiled Lemon-Rosemary Chicken with Green Beans and Almonds, Red Beans and Rice, Herbed White Beans with Baby Spinach and Meatloaf for dinner; and Cheater' Crustless Chocolate Cheesecake (outrageous!), and Chocolate Chip Cookies. Needless to say, I feel much more motivated and less restricted as far as food is concerned.

I also want to add that exercise is so important in the weight loss process. Even walking for a half hour everyday will help considerably. I highly recommend this cookbook. It will help you to enjoy the process of becoming a slimmer, healthier person. Good luck and ENJOY!

Complete Idiot's Guide to Low-Carb Meals.......2005-08-29

This is a truly awesome book. The recipes are delicious and easy.
I also have a Gluten intolerance and many of the recipes can be adapted for my allergy.

If you're looking for real "low carb" this isn't it.......2005-04-17

The book contains a reasonable number of recipes and lots of 'hints' that if you've done ANY reading about low carbohydrate eating, will be superfluous.

The recipes run the gamut of carb counts, though I thought that the bulk of them were much higher carb than is helpful. Following the suggestions in this book and the recipes, it wouldn't be all that hard to hit 80-100++ grams of carb per day... which is simply TOO HIGH for many people who are following low carb lifestyles.

Many recipes call for sugar, white flour, semi-sweet chocolate and cornstarch. Come ON... those are NOT "low carb" ingredients.

This is more or less a repackaged low fat/lower cal cookbook with "low carb" thrown on the cover to try to generate some market share. My copy is being donated to a charity, it isn't worth the space on the shelf for someone interested in real "low carb" cooking.

For best health, ideal weight, and overall well-being!.......2004-04-21

You can actually make "flourless chocolate tiramisu cake," "pasta-less lasagna," and "tortilla-less chicken quesadilla." Let Beale and Couvillon in their book, "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Low-Carb Meals," give you detailed instructions on how to pull off these low-carb favorites.

The book intros with this statement: "The challenge of low-carb cooking is to cook up the most delicious foods with the right amount of carbohydrates-enough to satisfy your palate and your tastes, but not so many that you exceed your daily carb allotment. An additional challenge is to make every carbohydrate count nutritionally for your best health, ideal weight, and overall well-being."

Beale, a weight-loss expert and coach, and Couvillon, a registered dietitian, succeed in writing a recipe book that meets the low-carb cooking challenge. Each chapter overflows with not just detailed ingredients and cooking procedures, but also nutrition info on each dish. For each recipe, there are notes on prep time, cook time, serving size for how many, and exact measures of grams of carb, fiber, nutritive carbs, and total protein broken down into grams from animal and plant sources.

The book also has valuable nuggets of wisdom scattered about in side-boxes, like the Recipe for Success, Table Talk, Hot Potato, and Low-Carb Vocab. At the end of each chapter is the segment on "The Least You Need to Know," which lists the chapter's highlights. Plus, there's a "Glycemic Index and Carbohydrate List" indicating the glycemic ranking and carb content of each ingredient mentioned in the book.

I especially appreciate the chapter intros, like in the section on Chocolates. It tells you everything you ever need to know about chocolate - a little background, varieties of chocolate, ingredients it goes well with, and why it's good for you.

Whether you're watching your carbs, looking for seven egg salad variations with zero cooking time, or meeting challenges like "how to make lunches without sandwiches" and "what to substitute for pasta and potatoes," this is the recipe book for you! - Ruby Bayan, (www.OurSimpleJoys.com)

a wonderful cookbook.......2004-02-10

Thanks for writing such a wonderful cookbook! What do I like about the cookbook? Well...actually...everything. I'm going through it section by section and cooking wonderful meals for us. One thing that has made an impression is the vinegar/acidity concept to lower the glycemic index. It really works to help keep me feeling full longer. The Chicken Piccata is marvelous and is even better the NEXT day, for breakfast. Today, my grocery shopping was totally based on the cookbook. There are Lucy Beale-things marinating in my 'fridge as I write this......

Designer dogs are mutts sold for expensive prices. They are not a breed, because breeds must conform to certain specifications- size, shape, temperament, and so forth. When you purchase a designer dog, you are effectivly buying a lottery ticket to what may either be the puppy you have been promised, or a genetic nightmare. When dogs of two completely different breeds are bred, you can have NO idea on what the puppies will look like. You can't guarentee what the coat will look like, how large or small they will be, what their attitude will be like, or whether or not they will have a plethora of genetic problems.

Because of this, thousand of designer dogs are abandoned to shelters when their owners realize that the dog was not what the breeder had promised them.

This book is a comprehensive manual of practical information for the beginning or novice pet owner. Ms. Agresta presents her material in an organized fashion, starting with the history and development of the breed, from its origin to the Labrador retriever today. She speaks from a personal point of view, reflecting her years of experience distilled down to a brief form.

All the basics are covered, with helpful drawings and photos in support. She covers health care, first aid, orthopedic problems, and other practical issues. A wide range of breed examples are presented, representing various ages and types. The third section of the book includes chapters written by experts in their own fields, addressing basic training in various fields, such as obedience, field trials, hunt tests, herding, and agility, and most importantly, the Labrador retriever in the family home. Each subject is presented briefly, but positively, with information, encouragement and guidance to the reader. The author offers lists of recommended reading covering a wide range of subjects. I would recommend giving it to new puppy owners.
