      Book Description

      In giving the public the story of his life, William J. Bryan trusts he may be credited with something more than a desire to acquaint the public with himself. It is his purpose to show that in his own case good fortune has had more to do with such success as he may have achieved than any efforts of his own. His second purpose is to show the goodness of the American people, their patriotism, their moral courage, their high ideals, their willingness to sacrifice for their convictions - the virtues that not only make popular government possible but insure its success. Illustrated throughout.

        Book Description

        1896. Together with a collection of his speeches and a biographical sketch by his wife. The object of The First Battle is to present an account of the leading events and issues of the most critical (presidential) campaign in American history. The work contains an interesting description of the author's famous tour, including his most important speeches, together with the principal addresses and documents identified with the campaign of 1896; the whole embodying a faithful presentation of the rise and development of the silver movement. It also contains a review of the political situation and an analysis of the election returns. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing. Due to the age and scarcity of the original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty or faded.

        5 out of 5 stars Should Be A Classic.......2006-12-12

        The presidential election of 1896 was one of the most interesting and important contests in American history, and it was made so not by the winner (a lackluster Ohio politician named William McKinley) but by the loser, William Jennings Bryan. Although best remembered for the first and last moments of his public career (the "Cross of Gold" speech and his championing of creationism at the Scopes Trial), Bryan was in fact the founding father of modern progressivism. Numerous ideas, ranging from the Federal Reserve and the income tax to anti-imperialism and women's suffrage, can be traced to one of Bryan's three presidential campaigns (1896, 1900, and 1908). What's more, Bryan's personality itself is a study in the best aspects of American character - despite his flaws, he was by all accounts a brilliant orator, devoted husband, loving father, voracious reader and intellectual (although this point is often brought into dispute by his more venomous detractors), sincere believer in democracy and equal opportunity, and often brave champion of causes that no one would touch at the last turn-of-the-century, but which are taken for granted today as being cornerstones of American political progress. This book serves three great functions:
        1) It transports the reader back to the presidential election of 1896, truly immersing us in a historic period that has received a much-undeserved obscurity;
        2) It shares with us dozens of the early speeches of William Jennings Bryan, thereby exposing us to his oratorical genius and the fertile mind that lay behind the eloquence (reading these speeches is worth the price of the text alone);
        3) It gives us an intimate look at the character of William Jennings Bryan himself, a man who brought to the presidency a pro-active and progressive approach that had never before been seen, despite the fact that he was never able to serve in it himself.
        The 1890s were a pivotal decade in our nation's history, one in which great and noble men of often diametrically opposing points-of-view (Grover Cleveland, William Jennings Bryan, William McKinley, Marcus Hanna, Eugene Debs, John Peter Atgeld, James Weaver, etc) rose to power and prominence. I cannot imagine that a better book either from or about this period has ever been written. Indeed, I can think of no better book ever written about a presidential campaign. This book should be a must-read for anyone who wishes to study American history, political science, liberalism, and/or the art of rhetoric.

                      It's a feeling you may recognise. Things are getting you down and piling on top of you. You begin to feel there's no escape. Nothing you do seems to make a difference. The pressures keep building and you feel incapable of getting out from under them. The present can seem meaningless, the future hopeless. You are being sucked down, deeper and deeper by despair and fear. How can you escape the force of the Whirlpool? One man has pulled through with the help of his friends, his music and sheer determination. This is his story.

                        Book Description

                        New methods of public management are transforming the structure of modern governments. These methods, sometimes called managerialism, essentially adapt private sector management principles and practices to the public sector.

                        Although in theory Latin American governments prepare their budgets according to programs, for the most part they are still input-based--focused mainly on what the state plans to purchase. This approach should be replaced either by output-based budgeting, a system geared towards goods and services to be provided by the state, or by results budgeting, which focuses on what the state proposes to accomplish.

                        Budget and Control examines the institutional arrangements required for the countries of the region to reform their budget and control systems. The book is based on two decades of reform experience in the leading countries in the field of budget preparation, evaluation and control, with case studies of six Latin American countries. Public officials and policymakers working with budgets, as well as students of development economics, will find this book a valuable tool.

                            The ideas and techniques in this book are so unusual and make you want to start cutting up fabric straight away. However, although not too difficult, you'll need to be a little experienced to achieve what Dilys has done in this gem.

                            5 out of 5 stars Lovely book.......2004-11-12

                            Strong graphics and clear instructions make this one of my favorite quilt books. The gates are lovely, and give you the idea that you really are wandering into a secret garden once you have one of these hanging on your wall. I am researching the gates and rails of New Orleans, looking for the perfect one to use for a special piece of fabric I want to use to make one of these lovely quilts. What fun!

                            5 out of 5 stars Design Inspired by Earth and Sky.......2006-10-23

                            "Earth was used to create farmhouses in France, cottages in England, castles in Germany, and missions in California and Arizona. Eighteenth- and nineteenth-century adobe buildings still stand today in New York, Boston, Virginia, and South Carolina." ~ pg. 35

                            The cover picture is a picture of Mision de Sol, a resort and spa with vibrant colors, dramatic waterfalls and beautiful adobe walls. Throughout the pages we are introduced to textures, interiors, surroundings, traditional adobes, modern adobes, adobe escapes and building materials needed to create a rugged home with romantic appeal.

                            The decorative iron sconces with glowing candles are inspiring and the use of reflective pools and lush plantings adds artistic appeal. I loved the bookshelves in a room with a chandelier, table with a vase of lilies and rough terra tiled floor covered with a beautifully textured red carpet.

                            In their third book, authors/designers Karen Witynski and Joe P. Carr forage through the mountains of Mexico and the deserts of the American Southwest in celebration of the strength and wonder of adobe design style. From its humble beginnings to its present-day renaissance, Casa Adobe unearths the homes, haciendas, and holiday getaways that have blended handcrafted details, natural materials, and cross-cultural furnishings to express the elegant simplicity of adobe living. Stunning photographs reveal the textures of both traditional and modern homes and the unique marriages between adobe's ancient simplicity and homeowners' eclectic global treasures. The interior design elements-hand-wrought iron chandeliers, punched tin and copper sconces, painted Mexican-country furniture, early American antiques, Navajo textiles, African folk art, contemporary paintings, New Mexican retablos and Pueblo pottery-are at happy communion inside the comfortable surrounds of adobe. Award-winning authors of The New Hacienda and Mexican Country Style Karen Witynski and Joe P. Carr were awarded the spring 2000 Pluma de Plata (Silver Pen) from Mexico's Ministry of Tourism. They have been at the forefront of the Mexican design movement for over twenty-five years as designers, importers, and antique dealers. Based in Austin, Texas, Witynski and Carr are the owners of Texture Antiques, a gallery specializing in Mexican furniture, architectural elements, contemporary art, and accents. Individually, Witynski writes on home and garden design for national publications, including This Old House magazine, and Carr designs furniture from recycled Mexican wood. Together, they divide their time between their Austin, Texas home and the Yucatan Hacienda. a> Please visit the author's website for more information on this wonderful book.

                            5 out of 5 stars Casa Adobe.......2003-05-26

                            Casa Adobe is a terrific source book for those contemplating living in an adobe or any other earthen style home. Photographs with informaive descriptions tease the casual reader, while those already familiar with Mexico, Arizona, and the Southwest immediately jump head first into the well-written, beautifully illustrated text. Joe P. Carr and Karen Witynski take you to Sante Fe and the surrounding areas with early photographs of adobe structures. Then you are taken to country and contempory homes and structures that best reflect what Casa Adobe is all about. The last chapter of the book is especially helpful foranyone interested in adobe, stucco, or rammed earth homes. It gives sources and individuals to contact as well as galleries and suppliers. My next purchas will be Casa Yucatan, written and photographed by the same collaborative authors.

                            5 out of 5 stars Book Review--New Mexico Magazine.......2002-06-09

                            Many people find the lines and textures of an adobe building at once seductive and compelling. This book is all about the unique aesthetic of houses made of mud. Third in a series of four books on popular residential design in Mexico and the Southwest, this book contains photos of spectacular adobe homes, inside and out, in New Mexico, Arizona, Texas and various places in Mexico.

                            The book documents the evolution of adobe from its historic past to its most modern applications, including interior details and architectural elements. The authors chose well the buildings they use as examples for their premise that "adobe is an old tradition with a new future," the recurring theme of the book.

                                                Anne King-Lenzmeier has written a comprehensive and truthful work on one of the most fascinating mystics ever. Today many are misusing and misrepresenting Hildegard of Bingen for their own modern causes. You will find no such gibberish here. Anne is a scholar who has written a thoroughly accessible book for the layman who wants to know Hildegard better and deepen their own walk with God in the process. The work is authoritative and thorough. We have much to learn from Hildegard and this book provides an excellent guide to her work and life.

                                                Book Description

                                                Updated to include year 2001 inductees into the International Jewish Sports Hall of FAme and containing nearly four hundred photographs

                                                Profiles not only participants, but also coaches, sportswriters, organizers, and other significant contributors to every major sport

                                                While many great Jewish sports figures are household names--Koufax, Greenberg, Spitz, and Auerbach probably come first to the minds of American fans--others are not as well known. JEWISH SPORTS LEGENDS features profiles and photographs of the famous, and the not so famous, members of the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame. Among other interesting facts, readers will learn that-- No fewer than twenty-nine boxing titles were held by Jews

                                                A Jew created baseball's World Series

                                                A Jewish runer won medals in four consecutive Olympics

                                                A rabbi's son was deemed the world's strongest man in the 1964 Olympics

                                                A Jeiwsh gymnast won seven medals in a single Olympics

                                                A Jewish wrestler once won 400 consecutive matches

                                                Four Jews are among the top ten Olympic medal winners of all time

                                                A Jew held five National Basketball Association records when he retired, including career points

                                                JEWISH SPORTS LEGENDS is a fabulous gift for all sports fans.

                                                This book has a valuable introduction tracing the development of Jewish participation in sport in the modern era. It also contains 'portraits' of individual Jewish athletes of distinction. It is a valuable resource .
                                                However when one wishes to inspire the younger generation it is helpful to tell stories of the struggles individuals made to make their way . But perhaps for that , another volume is necessary.

                                                The International Jewish Hall of Fame has plenty of reasons to be proud - and most are listed in this book. Not meant to be a complete biography, it gives sample snapshots of these legendary athletes, coaches and sportswriters. Obviously there is a rich and deep heritage in the Jewish community and this books fosters that well.

                                                One or two paragraphs each containing stats and awards. I was expecting more fleshed out biographies, perhaps outlining any adversities these folks had to endure, Jewish or otherwise. No or almost no personal information.

                                                Following the 1972 Olympics, a sportswriter referred to Mark Spitz, winner of seven gold medals, as "the first great Jewish athlete." He couldn't have been more wrong. As Jewish Sports Legends shows, Jews have excelled at athletics for centuries. This handsome volume illuminates the lives and unforgettable accomplishments of Jews in virtually every major sport played worldwide. Baseball stars Sandy Koufax and Hank Greenberg, basketball's Red Auerbach and Dolph Schayes, and football's Sid Luckman and Marv Levy are only a few outstanding examples. Did you know that-
