Book Description
'For God's sake look after our people' Captain Scott's harrowing account of his expedition to the South Pole in 1910-12 was first published in 1913. In his journals Scott records his party's optimistic departure from New Zealand, the hazardous voyage of theTerra Nova to Antarctica, and the trek with ponies and dogs across the ice to the Pole. On the way the explorers conduct scientific experiments, collect specimens, and get to know each other's characters. Their discovery that Amundsen has beaten them to their goal, and the endurance with which they face an 850-mile march to safety, have become the stuff of legend. This new edition publishes for the first time a complete list of the changes made to Scott's original text before publication. In his Introduction Max Jones illuminates the Journals' writing and publication, Scott's changing reputation, and the continued attraction of heroes in our cynical age.

In November 1910, a ship called Terra Nova left New Zealand on its way south to Antarctica. On board was an international team of explorers led by Robert Falcon Scott, a man determined to be the first to reach the South Pole. A year and a half later, Scott and three members of his team died during a brutal blizzard. Their dream of reaching the Pole first had already been dashed by the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen, and now on their return trip--slowed by ill health and bad weather--Scott's party found themselves trapped in a tent without sufficient provisions, while the wind howled endlessly outside. Even in his final hours, Scott found the strength to continue the journal he'd started at the beginning of his adventures; the diary was found beside his frozen body.
Scott's Last Expedition: The Journals is the explorer's detailed account of his time in Antarctica. The team's daily progress towards their final goal is recorded in Scott's vivid, personal narrative, as well as his impressions of the harsh conditions, the stark beauty of the tundra, and his own increasingly desperate ambition to beat his rivals to the Pole. Shortly before he died, Scott wrote: "Had we lived, I should have had a tale to tell of the hardihood, endurance, and courage of my companions which would have stirred the heart of every Englishman." Robert Falcon Scott and his men died, but their story lives on in his journals.

Scottýs was the greater achievement.......2004-04-27
About halfway through this diary account of the Terra Nova expedition, it becomes clear why Amundsen made it first to the pole ... and why Scott's was the greater achievement. The Norwegians focused completely on getting to the pole and back: no fuss, no elaboration, no scientific spin-offs. Amundsen cared not a whit about paleobotany, the discovery of a new parasite in fish livers or pony psychology. (More to the point, Amundsen kept to dogs.) Scott took an interest in everything, and he was willing to experiment. The diaries brim with accounts of sledging diets, weather balloons, penguin dissections, ice crystal formation, geologic strata and killer whales. He writes of what it is like to be without the sun for four months, of feelings stirred by the aurora australis, and of the colors of ice and sea and sky. He describes camp life and daily routines and the antics of ponies and dogs. And, knowing he has failed in his goal, he speaks movingly of his obligations to his country ... and to science. Among the items dragged to their final camp by three exhausted, half-frozen dying men were 35 pounds of fossils - fossils which would help rewrite geologic history.
Flawed -- But buy it anyway.......2004-02-21
It's really too bad that "Scotts Last Expedition" was heavily edited by Sir J.M. Barrie, the talented author of Peter Pan. We'll never get to read Scott's real diary, which, I suspect, is a good deal more forthcoming on his feelings about Lt. Teddy Evans (his No. 2), Cecil Mears (his dog driver), and perhaps his own flawed self.
Still, "Scott's Last Expedition" belongs in every collection on Antarctic exploration, regardless of whether you feel Scott is a hero or a buffoon. An original copy from the 1920s will set you back $300 or more, so this paperback reprint for $10 or so from Amazon isn't a bad deal at all. True, it doesn't look or smell the same, but it still has all of that great source material on diet, clothing, equipment and the officers and crew.
Dress warmly to read this one.......2002-07-13
While the story is known to most armchair explorers, nothing beats the saga right from the horse's mouth. Yes, the journal does drag in places, but so do long days of waiting in the Antarctic. It makes us impatient and edgy, wondering if the storms will ever end or what equipment will break next. Knowing the climax detracts nothing from how they got there--or didn't. This and Shackleton's own story really have to be read if one enjoys this kind of tale.
Where are the other reviews?.......2000-10-05
I wanted to point out that there are supposed to be five reviews accessible and I can only view the one from Austin, Texas. Where are the others?
Scott's diaries.......2000-10-05
The authoritive reference for what happened on Scott's polar journey - since it was written by the man himself. Don't be put off by the appalling introduction by Bainbridge (which ruins the story if you don't know all the details since it is just a brief summary of the rest of the book - just skip it!). I wouldn't recommend reading this first (try Scott by Elspeth Huxley as an intro) but for historical interest if you get into the history of the antarctic this is a must. The actual description of the southern journey only makes up the final section of the book, most of it is concerned with the depot laying and over wintering parts of the expedition. As such most of the book is mostly concerned with the details of preparing for the journey and hence probably won't appeal as a general introduction to Scott's last expedition.

Book Description
One of the greatest adventures of modern times, R.F. Scott's expedition to the South Pole pitted him and his team not only against the elements, but also against the Norwegian team, led by Amundsen. In the end Scott was beaten by both. Amundsen arrived at the pole a month before Scott and on the return trip the party perished in the freezing cold. This book present's Scott's journal entries from preparations for the trip in New Zealand to his final message before he died, written just eleven miles from base camp and safety. The work also features many superb photographs depicting members of the party and the pristine Antarctic landscape. By turns informative, humorous, riveting and tragic the journals, republished in their entirety, are sure to thrill a new generation of readers.

Customer Reviews:
depends on your mood.......2004-08-18
If you enjoy Mary's illustrations and want to see lots of them, as well as get decorating ideas, then you will probably enjoy this book. While I love the photos of actual rooms and collections, there aren't enough of them. Instead there are too many of the drawings, which can be overwhelmingly cutesy if you're not in the mood.
--Nobody does it like Mary--.......2003-02-28
MARY ENGELBREIT'S HOME COMPANION is a delightful book filled with her charming illustrations and beautifully decorated rooms.
If you're a fan of ME than you'll really enjoy this book. The photographs are good and the book is chock full of uniquely decorated rooms. I honestly have to say that almost every room has something in it that I would like to incorporate into my own home.
There are fifteen chapters and at the end of each a "project" is presented with instructions called "Watch ME Make It." Some of these are: A Tea Towel Pillow, Hand-Painted Picture Frame, and Birdhouse Bookends. Most of the projects seem to be fairly simple to do. To be honest, I don't usually do projects, but I'm very tempted to try to make several of these.
I loved looking at how "various collections" are incorporated into the styles of the different rooms. I'm a bit of a collector myself, and it was a treat for me to notice that some items that I have from my own collections are featured in the pictures.
It may sound odd to say this about a book on decorating, but I found HOME COMPANION to be very uplifting and a joy to read. I think I could live in this book!
Fabulous!.......2000-03-12
This book is whimsical, inspiring and it just plain makes me happy! I have looked at it so many times, I have almost memorized it. Anyone who is familiar with Mary Engelbreit loves her and her books are absolutely the best. If you want your home to have a fun, colorful, unique look, buy this book.
Mary Engelbreit at her Best!.......1999-07-04
ME is an inspiration to all of us who love her style without the fuss. Her ideas for the home are simple to obtain and cost very little. I have shared this book with many of my friends, and they too are now hooked.
Decorating Inspiration........1998-07-06
I used some of the ideas shown in the book to redecorate my daughter's bedroom. Only have one bad thing to say about this book... Once you start redecorating it becomes habit forming and you start branching out into the other rooms....!! YIKES!

Highly recommended.......2005-09-26
If your looking for a good reference book for information on prescription and non-prescription drugs, this is one of the best choices for patients and consumers. It is big and heavy and covers most of the drugs your likely to encounter. Some non-prescriptions drugs (such as dandruff shampoo) are excluded from the print edition due to size considertions. Its an expensive book to buy new through Amazon but buy it from one of the vendors and it can be obtained for under $10...a great bargain. Buy it and the PDR POCKET REFERENCE TO PRESCRIPTION DRUGS, they compliement each other. THE PDR is based on information provided by Drug companies while the USP is developed independently of Drug companies.

Peek into the Mind of a Writing Genius.......2007-09-21
Cornell Woolrich (1903-1968), who wrote the original stories that "Rear Window", "Night Has A Thousand Eyes", and many other movies were based on, stumbled on writing as his life's work while recuperating from jaundice and a liver problem, at age 20. He read every book he could get his hands on during this time, and concluded that anybody could do a better job than those authors -- they "insulted" his intelligence. Even an amateur could do better. HE could do better. With one hand tied behind his back. He then set about the task of writing his first novel --which, to his shock and amazement, sold. In fact, it won a $10,000 prize. He quickly became addicted to writing "entertainment fiction," as he called it -- over 200 short stories, and 27 novels (21 of them made into movies) -- and was regarded by many experts as one of the 4 greatest writers of mystery and suspense who ever lived (the others: Dashiell Hammet, Raymond Chandler, James M. Cain). He wrote obsessively -- totally out of his imagination rather than the real world -- and lived the life of a solitary introvert, in hotel rooms, all his life, mainly in New York City (Manhattan), occasionally in London, Paris, Seattle. A phenomenal number of the things he wrote were adapted for radio and television dramas (notably "Alfred Hitchcock Presents"). Hundreds of his original ideas were stolen and used by others in other formats, without his consent, credit or compensation. His greatest fears -- in fiction and real life -- were loneliness and death. He wrote, perhaps, to live more lives than one, to be (as he put it) "alive a little longer, to be among the living." But he died alone, at the age of 64, of complications from diabetes and alcoholism -- written out, so to speak, having produced little during his last 6 years other than this unfinished manuscript, which he visualized as 6 short stories, 5 of which he completed, with only a few preliminary notes for the last one. It made him sad to think of the past -- mistakes made, opportunities missed, how his life might have been different -- hence the title, Blues of a Lifetime, but he wanted to revisit it one last time, in a private memoir, not meant for publication, to be placed among his private records and manuscripts, which he bequeathed, along with his entire, nearly million-dollar estate to Columbia University, where he had been a student, 1921-6, excelling in only 1 subject -- writing -- and from which he had failed to graduate. Carefully edited by Mark T. Bassett, with fidelity to Woolrich's style, intent and pencilled notations, with many useful and carefully researched chapter notes, Blues of a Lifetime is vital to an understanding of Woolrich's art, a rare glimpse into the mind of a writing genius. It stands out, along with Francis Nevins' massive (613-page)study of Woolrich's entire body of work, "Cornell Woolrich: First You Dream, Then You Die", as the story behind the Woolrich legacy. P.S. -- It's important to note that I am still in the process of reading both books, and am only half-way thru Blues.
A must for all lovers of Cornell Woolrich.......2001-08-10
This book really gives you an interesting insight into the mind of Cornell Woolrich. I loved it and recommend it to anyone who wants to know more about him.
Even in his last years, Woolrich could work his magic.......1998-07-10
This collection of supposed vignettes into Cornell Woolrich's life shows that, even in the last years of his life, he was able to work his word magic.
As noted by Francis M. Nevins Jr. in his biography of Woolrich, "First You Dream, Then You Die", Woolrich liked to tell different stories about his early life with little regard to consistency with the known facts or with other stories that he told. There isn't enough known about Woolrich to be able to say with certainty that these stories are or are not true, but it does not matter because they are fascinating nonetheless, and can stand with the best of his stories. Although they cannot, for the most part, be classified as belonging to his chosen field of mystery/suspense, they share many of the elements of his best work: vivid pictures of "everyday life", finding and telling the stories in ordinary situations, and a knack for making you feel for and with the characters.
While it is a fairly minor point, I found the introductory essay by Mark Bassett a bit annoying in the way that it contains bibliographical references that are i) in a different format than the actual bibliography; and ii) cannot be matched to any bibliographical entry in many cases. I had the sense that this essay was trimmed down or excerpted from a longer essay (possiby a thesis, given the publisher?), but not carefully editted.
In spite of that minor complaint, we should all be thankful to Mark Bassett for bringing these Woolrich tales to print.

The "burning ground" of the title is not just the blasted landscape of Holocaust-era Europe but also the existential anguish of its protagonist, rabbinical student Joseph Skakun, so seared by the evils he has witnessed that at one desperate moment suicide seems the only possible response. Joseph was one of very few Jews in his northern Polish village to escape extermination at the end of 1941, and his odyssey of survival took him into the very "maw of the beast." Assuming the identity of a Muslim Tatar (to account for his circumcision), he traveled to Germany as a foreign laborer. Later, fleeing the suspicions of a fellow worker, he enlisted in the Waffen SS, an act of crushing ethical ambiguity for a young man steeped in the Jewish tradition of Mussar, which stressed moral self-examination. After the war, consumed by the need to convey and come to grips with his experiences, Joseph made a confidant of his son, the author of this galvanizing biography and memoir. Retelling his father's story, Michael Skakun pens a drama of biblical breadth and Dostoyevskian depth, scanting neither the visceral horror of his father's ordeal nor the resourcefulness and resolve that enabled Joseph to endure. --Wendy Smith
Book Description
ON BURNING GROUND is the tale of one desperate and brilliant man's ultimate choice: at the eve of the Nazi purging of Poland, to disguise his Jewish origin and pose first as a Christian, then to join the Nazi SS.Living in constant fear, Michael Skakun's father, Joseph, not only assumed a dangerous array of identities in order to survive, but subsequently compromised his very spirit.ON BURNING GROUND is a brave and revelatory tale of a son's father who risked it all, and through his amazing odyssey, was keenly aware of the price of such deceits.AUTHORBIO: Michael Skakun is a writer and translator who worked for many years with the critic Alfred Kazin.He lives in New York City.

How a Polish Jew survived the war........2006-03-27
This was a nice story, but it was clouded by some very philosphical rantings by the son both early in the book and at the end. Also troubling was the son's writing of his father's story. He talkes about his father, then his grandfather and grandmother, and it is difficult to follow, especially early in the story. I wish he would have written it as his father's narrative as told to him.
This is a very harrowing account on how one person survived the Holocaust. Skakun was blessed with blue eyes and blond hair, and it was fairly easy to pass himself off as an Aryan, with the exception of his circumcision. Both passing into Germany and his physical for the Waffen SS necesitated him taking a physical in the nude. I think his heightened awareness of how vulnerable he was resulted in a certain nervousness, which could have resulted in his uncovered secret identity.
This is a nice easy read about a very lucky Polish Jew. His unconventional route and his luck led to him surviving the war. Skakun credits the good deeds of his mother in his survival of the war.
Decent memoir about a very lucky holocaust survivor.......2006-02-22
No one can doubt how much Michael Skakun loves his father and how proud he is of his fathers amazing story of survival. However. I would have toned down the flowery writing, after all, in a biography there really no way of knowing all the expressions of the faces in the room, the smells, the sounds, etc. I also would have included a postscript on whether the subject of the book is still alive, where he lives, or where he spent his last days. Too many loose ends for me, but a book that is very good and worth reading.
This Guy Has Guts!.......2000-10-01
I have always had a deep interest in the Holocaust, I think it is because of the fact that it occured so recent in our history, it is so incredible that in our modern society, a country such as Germany was so willing to carry out such a morbid and shockingly sinister plan of brutality and murder. That ordinary citizens could be so callous and treacherous,...I am amazed!
Joseph Skakun, a Jewish Holocaust survivor, takes us on a journey into his mind numbing past. Divine intervention, solid logic and humblness, play a major role in his reason for survival.
Personally I think this story is very unique and wouldn't be surprised to see it become a movie.
A suspenseful narrative of survival by wits in the Holocaust.......1999-09-01
Skakun's experiences are comparable to those of Yehuda Nir in "The Lost Childhood" and Moshe Perlman in "Europa, Europa". The crowning irony is Skakun's (almost) joining the Waffen SS in order to hide his Jewish identity, and to survive. However, there are just a few errors of background historical fact which mar "On Burning Ground". E.g., on page 203 Julius Streicher is named as the founder of the Nazi paper "Volkische Beobachter". This is wrong. Streicher founded "Der Sturmer". Volkische Beobachter was an outgrowth of "Munchener Beobachter", a paper purchased and re-founded by Dietrich Eckart. This is the sort of mistake that better editing might have caught. But "On Burning Ground" still stands as a riveting account of survival through quick thinking and a lot of luck.
Powerful, gripping, resourceful, amazing, yet true........1999-07-12
What can I add to the above? Not much. I rarely read Holocaust memoirs, but this one was amazing. Michael's father, Joseph, a Talmudic scholar with blue eyes and blond hair, who tried to save his mother in Navaredok/Novogrudek Poland, failed, and fled to the forests and to Vilna. As a circumcised male in Vilna, Joseph took on the identity of a Muslim Tatar, studied Islam, and became a foreign laborer in Berlin. A hidden Jew pretending to be a Muslim living in the Nazi capital during the War. And then he enlisted in the SS!
