Representative Americans, the Revolutionary Generation (College)

Book Description

No simple rubric comes easily to mind when one thinks of the Revolutionary generation. Their accomplishments were too grand, their interests too varied to be encompassed in a single phrase. This book reflects their concern with the fundamentals of society and government and also explores the lives of individuals who contributed to science and the arts. Risjord divides this book into three sections, each exploring one of the era's dominant themes.

Book Description

This book is a moving story, written by the mother of Giles Thompson, a survivor of the Mount Hood Tragedy of 1986. It is a page-turner in which deep emotions are expressed and the journey of the author's life honestly revealed.

Rarely are stories written about serious mountain accidents by those who wait for loved ones, those who assist through love and tenacity to bring back survivors to a normal life. This book tells the story from the heart.

Picks up where "Into Thin Air" left off.......2001-01-30

Through mere coincidense I had the opportunty to first meet Giles Thompson and a few weeks later get to know Ann Holaday. During my meeting with Giles he mentioned very little of his accident and his mother never talked about it, they both live a normal life. It was only through luck and a little bit of detective work that I discovered Ms. Holaday's book. I am thrilled that I did find it. Initially I was hoping for a book similiar to "Into Thin Air" in it's depth of the experience on the mountain. I quickly found that it was not the tale of the horrors on the mountain, however it is a story of survival after the disaster. The story really starts with Giles coming off of the mountain and finding the extent of the damage to his body and the difficulty in overcoming those challenges related to his recovery and learning to live again.

I think it is a great book for anyone who faces challenges in the life and an inspirational story for all. Ms. Holaday is a talented writer and a refreshing pen in the world of literature.

The Will to Survive.......2000-02-07

This moving and poignant story begans on Monday afernoon, May 12, 1986, when a routine climb on Mt. Hood, Oregon, turned into a nightmare. Ten students from Oregon Episcopal School and three adults were caught in a freak snowstorm. With no visibility and at least one student suffering from hypothermia, the party dug into a samll snowcave. The next morning, the guide and a student managed to decend the mountain, thus begining a frantic search that would end up lasting well over two days.

Ann Holoday, the author, was one of the parents who saw hope fade as the storm left any sign of the cave and its climbers buried under an emmense white blanket, while another approaching storm left rescuers with a dwindling timeline. Her son, Giles Thompson, was one of the sophomores on the annual climb. As she recalls those dark hours of gazing at Mt. Hood from Timberline Lodge (Built as one of F. Roosevelt's WPA projects), Ann recalls the circumstances that led her family to the Pacific Northwest, from England, Puerto Rico, and Texas. The author recalls times of joy, but also uncertainty about leaving England, guilt about a career that left too little time for her three children, and a bitterweet recollection of a marriage that almost ended, but came together before her husband's death from cancer. Remarriage led her family to Longview, WA, and her children to OES in Portland, OR.

As rescuers were about to end their search on Thursday afternoon, May 15, a probe struck a backpack near the cave's entrance. Of the 11 who had been in the cave 72 hours, only two would survived; Giles, and a girl, Brittany.

For Giles, recovery would be especially grueling. For a week he was unconsious with his survival in doubt, before doctors were forced to ammutate Gile's legs. The proceedure worked, freeing his system from the toxins brought by dead tissue, but the following weeks brought more compications, infections, and multiple surgeries. One feels the pain of Giles as his mother recalls in detail the long ordeal.

Finally, in August, Giles was able to return home, and, the following month, to OES. Memories of the climb, trying to study with nerve damaged hands, and learning to walk with prosthetics provided more challenges.

Giles adjusted, though, and Ann recalls with pride her son's success at learning to ski again, even participating in the Handicap Olympics and becoming active in Ted Kennedy Jr's (who lost a leg to cancer) organization, Facing the Challenge.

Giles gruaduated from OES and Colorado College and now lives in Seattle with his wife and two young children. His brother and sister are doing well, too, as are Ann and her husband. Yes, there are happy endings.

Ann's ending for her book includes this statement: "If this book leaves the reader with any one thought, I would like it to be the celebration of this human spirit which brings us closer together in times of trouble. I don't think we will ever completely recover from the accident, but it is possible to move on and get on with life."

Surley, that is a thought all of us need to ponder. In any life there are storms and sorrows, struggles and sacrafices, but with faith, hope, and the love of family and fiends, we can endure. Ann Holoday does a marvelous job of sharing her son's great struggle, and how their family endured. I would highly recommend that everyone read, "The Mountain Never Cries."

The Mountain Never Cries.......2000-01-19

I know the expression "couldn't put is down" is not original, but that's how it was with this book. So often I had to blink back tears and swallow the lump in my throat as I read. The story of the devasting impact the Tragedy has on a family and the way courage, hope and prayer help them carry on is awe-inspiring.

A Powerful and Touching Family Drama.......1999-12-26

As a native Portlander who had spent many days on Mt. Hood, I remember rather clearly those days back in May of 1986 when the tragedy referred to in this book took place. I remember the painful days when searchers were looking for the kids trapped on the mountain, and I remember the swirl of controversy and questions that surrounded the days, or weeks after the accident.

One of the materializations that still stick out is how even though a tremendous amount of energy went into trying to understand how and why this happened. And even though several reports were written by various sources, nothing absolute, detailed and concrete was presented in the form of investigative journalism written for the public. Even though as a mountaineer I had read virtually everything I could on the tragedy, there were several pieces in the puzzle still not told. Parts of those pieces could only be told by the dead. But other parts could be filled in by four main survivors. Survivors that for one reason or the other, remained rather silent. Perhaps for disrespect of blaming the dead (as the group leader, who made the most decisions, did not survive). While this is understandable, it doesn't sit very well for those trying to understand what happened. Especially when professed by those wanting to make sure this never happens again. Even to this day, I am not completely certain what went on up there. Perhaps one may think I have too much of a morbid curiosity, but I believe my feelings are felt by many.

All of this leads us to this book. Written by the mother of one of the survivors (Giles). Who was perhaps the toughest survivor. While this book recants some of what had already been covered in most all of the reports, it still does not fill in the missing blanks. But I must state, that once that is accepted (probably more difficult for those of us who remember what happened, and what didn't), this book is quite well written from a very personal, caring viewpoint. The difficulties and recovery of the mother and the son are quite powerful, and sometimes inspiring. It is truly an amazing story that touches the reader on a deep level.

All that said, if you, like me, are looking for a final detailed account of the 1986 OES Mt. Hood tragedy, this book isn't it. But what it is, is a moving drama of a family's will to survive and understand life in the face of tremendous adversity, and can be recommended on that level.

Agony, estacy and soul searching for answers.......1999-10-04

Retelling this incredible true story is a triumph and needs a place on every parent's bookshelf. While reading about Giles and his tremendous ordeal, one cannot help but wonder what his/her own reaction would have been if put into a similar situation. Mrs. Holaday's factual account of what happened is so moving - going from the lowest depths of human emotions to the highest possible ones is told with a frankly refreshing candor. The compilation of feelings running through Mrs. Holaday as she maintains her vigil at the Providence Hospital in Portland are soul revealing. Gazing upon her son struggling for life, she takes us back to her English background and then her travels into the world and all the factors that came to make her and her family what they are. Definitely a worthy read of the 5 star caliber. Hopefully, Mrs. Holaday will publish a children's version of the accident for a younger audience.

PRE- AND POST-RETIREMENT PLANNING THAT MAKES SENSE

GETTING STARTED IN A FINANCIALLY SECURE RETIREMENT

If you want to make the most of your retirement years, you have to seriously think about the retirement lifestyle you want and the path that will get you there. In order to do this, you need reliable retirement information that will allow you to properly chart your course. Nobody knows this better than author Henry Hebeler, who retired from the corporate world more than fifteen years ago—and quickly discovered that much of the retirement planning advice available wasn't helping people accomplish their goals.

Now, with Getting Started in a Financially Secure Retirement, Hebeler shares his experience in this field with you and reveals what it really takes to achieve the retirement you want. Written in a straightforward and accessible style, Getting Started in a Financially Secure Retirement dismisses the assumptions that many popular retirement planning methods make and addresses some of today's most important retirement issues, including everything from planning with realistic economic inputs to neglected subjects such as replacement budgeting, reverse dollar cost averaging, and the need for resiliency when encountering surprise events.

Filled with in-depth insights, practical advice, and helpful retirement planning tools, Getting Started in a Financially Secure Retirement will allow you to apply Hebeler's proven principles to your own specific situation—whether you're already retired or still working—and make more informed financial decisions as you plan for the years ahead.

Bought a copy for each of my adult children.......2007-07-18

After giving each of our four adult children copies, I've now got comments back from them. They said they appreciated the many suggestions to help them save more as well as the simple calculations to know how much to save for retirement and when to start Social Security. A son-in-law said it was very easy to read--more like a novel than a financial book. A daughter said it was very good from a woman's perspective. Another daughter advised a neighbor to a copy as well.

A must have for Successful Retirement Planning.......2007-07-11

This Financial non-fiction reads like a novel. An easy read that is extremely informative and useful for planning and executing your retirement. Readers will benefit by the many thousands of man hours or research and analysis that have gone into providing this resource. The many different types of investment are reviewed and the real world effects on growth by inflation, taxes and fees are illustrated. The book also provides much relevant information about all the relevant topics surrounding retirement planning, such as IRAs, tax strategies, Social Security, pensions etc. Chapter 2 titled "Be Aware of the Environment" is very eye opening and relevant in today's world. This book is very easy to use as a resource and provides many clear Appendixes designed to allow the reader to make some simple calculations to either check the present status of planning or to run simulations based on changes or differences in assumptions. Entertaining as well as informative.

Friendly Charts, Tables, and Graphs .......2007-06-05

As a visual learner, I thought the book contained very useful, informative charts, tables, graphs and easy to digest chunks of info in well labeled boxes. Sitting at a lunch table at work, we all talk about our futures, and this book is a great base for our thinking and planning-- even as our lives evolve and the thinking and planning changes. This book is divided into logical chunks so information is easy to find for a non-accountant mind like mine :) Thank you for making this resource available. Linda Underhill

Mr. Hebeler did it again.................2007-06-04

Mr. Hebeler has dedicated his retirement years to helping others. He is also enjoying those years. He has found that happy medium and he wants to share his sucess with others so they too may enjoy the later years.

He is someone who has walked the walk and talked the talk. He has made it so that we can understand how to make our money work for us. He has enabled us to take charge of our money and not rely on someone else. Which in this day and age, it is so important to be aware ourselves, where and what our money is doing for us. Thank you Mr. Hebeler for sharing what works for you with us.

Excellent beginner.......2001-09-23

This book is very readable. The authors use anecdotes to illustrate many of the points they make, enabling the ordinary person to visualize by thinking, "I've been there!" Although the book is primarily focused on readers in their 40s and 50s, there is much good information for older readers, and this is an excellent resource for those younger readers which the authors don't even seem to know exist (such as myself, at 32). Whatever your age, if you're just starting to look at retirement, this is the book for you.

Amazon.com

A clear and practical manual covering the complexity and frightening reality of affording retirement. Want to know how an IRA works? The advantages of a 401(k)? A defined contribution plan? A bypass trust? A reverse mortgage? How to plan your estate? How do you plan for your health care costs? If your head is swimming by now, you should get this book and it will all make sense, and you will be able to retire comfortably.

I wish there would be a follow up to this title in particular to play catch up. I actually got my hands on this 6 years ago at a near by TARGET store next to DU. This book is a brilliant piece of an eye opener for anyone leaving the academic world and starting a new life. It gives very simple factoids and ideas about what can b done in home economics and personal finance etc. if any1 know of a follow up to this title or something similar please let me know.

Disappointingly out-of-date.......1999-05-26

Very simplified introduction to financial basics for beginners, but needs updating---no mention of Roth IRAs, new tax laws, etc. Might be a good book for teenagers to start with!

Book Description

Postage stamps have evolved quite a bit since Great Britain’s 1840 Penny Black, the world’s first adhesive postage stamp. From simple designs featuring the monarch to works of art literally condensed to postage stamp size, hundreds of thousands of different stamps have been issued in the past 164 years—and the great majority of them remain reasonably priced for collectors. With so many stamps to collect from so many countries, a philatelist’s choices are virtually unlimited--which can be both a blessing and a curse, especially if you’re a newcomer to the art of stamp collecting.

Interested in starting a stamp collection, but not sure where to begin? This is the guide for you. Expert Richard Sine fills you in on everything you need to know about selecting, finding, buying, presenting and caring for stamps. An internationally recognized collector and author on stamp collecting (he used to write the New York Times stamp column) he also has much wisdom to impart to collectors who’ve been at it for a while. A gold mine of expert advice and guidance, Stamp Collecting For Dummies is on how to:

Start or diversify your collection
Decide what to collect
Catalog and organize your collection
Handle, protect, store, and display stamps
Identify rare and valuable stamps
Buy stamps online and through auction houses

Unlike most authors on the subject who tend to be pretty stuffy—to put it politely—expert Richard Sine focuses on the side of stamp collecting that’s enjoyable, educational, and fun. With humor, tons of interesting anecdotes about stamps and the men and women who love them, and loads of insider tips, he covers all the bases, including:

Getting the biggest bang for you stamp-collecting buck
Researching, locating and buying stamps through traditional sources and online
Showing off your collection at exhibits
Customizing your collection
Housing your stamps and protecting them against the elements
The ten keys to identifying and authenticating stamps

Stamp Collecting For Dummies is your total guide to starting and building on a really cool stamp collection.

written with a light touch.......2006-04-17

This volume in the 'Dummies' series is written with a humorous light touch that makes it especially attractive to the Dummy who knows he is one and doesn't need to be reminded that he is one by being frog-marched through impenetrable jargon. In addition, Richard Sine or his editor have had the foresight to break the topics he treats up into very small sections and subsections.

The result is a light-hearted but content-rich introduction to the topic, one that this reviewer is only beginning to explore.

I cannot imagine a more effective starting point for the would-be stamp collector or - like me - the person who needs to know before he invests time and treasure whether this is something he's going to be able to manage.

A Good Starting Point.......2002-01-23

I have always thought the Dummies series of books were some of the best-written "How To" books on the market. This one lives up to that reputation.

Mr. Sine has produced a well-written, clear guidebook for both new and experienced collectors. He manages to cover the subject without getting bogged down in the jargon of the hobby. His style and wit are welcome in a hobby whose literature can at times be very dry.

This is a good guide to a great hobby.

Clefting is one of the most common birth defects and one of the most reparable. Yet parents of clefted newborns often initially respond with fear, shock, and despair. This first guide written specifically for parents explains what a cleft is, why it occurs, and what can be done about it. Topics include surgical procedures, financial assistance, emotional impact, and forming support groups.

Customer Reviews:

A GREAT BOOK.......2006-01-30

I am an older sibling of a child with a cleft and I found this book to be helpful in so many ways when re-searching what was going to be done to my baby brother. It used enough technical terms to explain what was going on, but it also explained things as well. I know that my mother would often read the chapter called Aiden; One child's story when she needed to find hope for her own son. I would recommend this book to everyone whether they are researching clefts or they have a family member who has a cleft. This is a wonderful book that was so extrememly helpful to both me and my family and well as other mom's I've talked to around the country.

Your kids aren't the only ones! Can I have some choices????.......2002-09-08

I found this book to have very basic information on cleft lip and palate, which was good in that it presents the conditions in non-medical terms for the most part. However, it did not explore some of the more current methods of treatment, including pre-surgical devices, and it seems to have been sponsored by a specific support group which is never really disclosed. I found the nauseating mention of this group over and over and over again to be quite an obvious overkill, and I had to return mine copy. I need a more objective book so that I may come to my own conclusions, and I suggest that other parents do the same.

Brian Newbould brings together the biographical data of Schubert's life with the music that he composed. The book is both readable and informative, the work of a professor of music at the University of Hull in Britain whose biographical data describes him as a composer, conductor, pianist, and lecturer. Newbould has been so bold as to finish the Unfinished Symphony and other of Schubert's uncompleted works, and he has a deep understanding of the man and his music.

Book Description

Of all the great composers, none, not even Mozart, has been so dogged by myth and misunderstanding as Schubert. Since the 1920s, when the musical Blossom Time hit the stage, the notion of Schubert as a pudgy, love-lorn Bohemian schwammerl (mushroom) scribbling gemülich tunes on the back of menus in idle moments has never been quite eradicated. But in this major new biography (the first comprehensive work on Schubert in over fifty years) Brian Newbould lays to rest the stereotype of the composer plucking melodies out of the air, relying on instinct more than well-honed craft. Instead he paints a vivid and compelling portrait of a man who was compulsively dedicated to his art, a composer so prolific that he produced roughly one thousand works in an eighteen year period.
Gifted with an intuitive know-how, coupled with a Mozartian facility for composition, Schubert combined the relish and wonder of an amateur with the discipline and technical rigor of a professional. He moved quickly and comfortably among genres, and sometimes composed directly into score; but many pieces required painstaking revision before they satisfied his growing self-criticism. Examining afresh the enigmas surrounding Schubert's religious outlook, his loves, his sexuality, his illness and death, Newbould offers above all a celebration of a unique genius, an idiosyncratic composer of an astonishing body of powerful, enduring music.

Customer Reviews:

For those who have been told that Theresienstadt was a "model" camp and not a concentration camp, this book is a must read. A camp that had an intake of 15,000 children under 15-yrs-old with only 100 surviving was only a "model" for inhumanity! Silten's chapter, "My Four Companions" (Hunger, Fear, Cold & Death), is one of the most brillianty written I've read in any book.
