                            Great book for anyone who thinks they can't paint freehand! Donna Dewberry is the master of instructional simplicity when it comes to showing just how easy it is for anyone to do decorative painting. A+

                            5 out of 5 stars Just wonderful!.......2001-04-16

                            Donna Dewberry is an amazing artist who shows you step by step how to create beautiful decorations on furniture in your home. Decorative Furniture was written with the beginner painter in mind. Everything is made simple, and it starts from square one.

                            Decorative Furniture starts out by showing you what materials you will need to complete every project in the book. Amazingly, it isn't a huge list of materials. Donna Dewberry strives for simple, yet extraordinary projects. She also shows you what brushes are needed and how to load them with paint.

                            This book also covers basic one-stroke painting techniques, such as how to make a vine, leaf, or flower. Even if you already know the one-stroke painting techniques, this serves as a very useful reminder of how things should look.

                            My favorite part of this book is how it teaches you how to do special effects such as giving a piece a textured look, such as the project on page 32. I plan to start this one soon!

                            As with all Donna Dewberry's books, don't feel that the projects are only for furniture. You really can use the same techniques, and patterns on nearly anything you wish to paint!

                            5 out of 5 stars Garden Decor Rocks.......2004-10-01

                            This book really showed me how to use decorative painting on tht outside of my home. I loved the the patterns in the book that can be enlargened for those who are afraid to "Free Hand" paint. One of the best parts is showing how to take "essential" items such as trash cans, fences, and clay pots and turn them into works of art. It also contains an excellent step by step of painting a realist bunny. I was amazed on how easily it was accomplished.

                            1 out of 5 stars Same stuff.......2004-03-24

                            Just another Donna Dewberry book with the same designs painted on different surfaces. I was very disappointed that there was nothing new offered in this book.

                                    Systems Consultation challenges two basic assumptions of family therapy: first, that what family therapists should be doing is curing pathology; second, that family interactions can be understood by focusing on families to the exclusion of larger systems. In asking whether therapy is the best and only model for what family therapists do, this book registers a definitive no. In its place it offers a systems consultation role that more accurately captures the range of activities therapists can and currently do engage in.

                                      This book is intended to provide a view of Meyerhold at work on a few selected productions, as he was observed and remembered by those who worked with him, and to trace some patterns in the major events of his artistic life. The focus of these materials is specifically MeyerholdÕs work onstage and the complicated personal relationships that were a constant part of that work, and not primarily the cultural and artistic context in which the work was produced. This book is meant as a source book for actors, directors, and designers; it was compiled with the needs of contemporary theater people in mind.

                                      5 out of 5 stars An Enduring Classic.......2006-10-13

                                      Among the many published accounts of the Holocaust, Seed of Sarah stands out for its amazing clarity, its portrayal of courage in the face of unprecedented crimes against humanity, and for its optimism despite those crimes. Not many first-hand accounts of the death camps center on the perspective of women. This one does, but it is also universal in its appeal and the genius of the author is that she allows the reader to be with her during the worst of the experience and to survive, as she has done, with love. If you are teaching or taking a course on the Holocaust or on World War II, this book is essential.

                                      5 out of 5 stars A Survivor's Strength.......2006-10-11

                                      I'm amazed that someone who has endured a tragic event in their life has found the stength to speak, and write about it. These survivor's had their businesses, properties and personal belonging taken from them, because they were Jewish!! The treatment in the camps was horrendous. I'm not even sure how they managed to survive. You can spend your life reading and studing the Holocaust, however unless you were there you will never really know. This book bring you as close as you can get.

                                      4 out of 5 stars I cant believe it................2005-05-01

                                      Judith Magyar Isaacson tells her story of the Holocaust that speaks of those who cannot. This first person account amazes me that she has to decipher her role in life, but also has to fight for her life. Why should someone have to fend for him or herself while going through the hardest part of her life? When I started reading this book I thought it was going to be like any other Holocaust book I read, but it had a twist to it that made it unlike any other book I have read. This book I think is one of the best first person accounts of the Holocaust, its right up their with Anne Frank's Diary. She has so much courage to speak out about this horrific time period, to have the courage to tell us what you went through to be where you are right now.
                                      Judith Magyar was born to two Jewish parents she and her family was like any other middle class family in Hungary except that they were Jewish. She was stuck in this everyday life closed off from the world until Hitler comes to power and establishes the first and second Jewish laws. During the establishing of these laws is in which she is first discriminated against because she is Jewish. Even though it happened, she doesn't allow it to get to her; she acts like it's every other day. This all changes when they are ghettoized into the center of town. Her 19th birthday is celebrated in a horse stable, when it's supposed to be celebrated at home with family and friends. That's when it hits her that her world has changed. Then they are transported to Auschwitz-Birkenau where they lose their reason for living. As it comes close to liberation, the Americans are within a town away. The Kommandant all of a sudden decides that they are going to keep moving. This cliché keeps happening throughout the rest of the book. When they first come in contact with there first taste that the Americans were close, they felt as though they are destined to live, and that someone really cares for them.

                                      This book was really astonishing it was unlike any other Holocaust book I have ever read. This book would be good for anybody who is interested in the Holocaust or also if you like historical fiction. There are a couple of mistakes with the writing the first is that there are a few misspelled words. In addition, it skips around really quickly. I got lost a couple times, but I found out what was happening. Even with those mistakes it is still a really good book. I highly recommend it to anyone. This is one of the books I have ever read.

                                      5 out of 5 stars Could there be a lesson in this for today's world?.......2005-02-10

                                      In November 1976, the Bates College Dean of Students - Judith Magyar Isaacson - was invited to give a talk on the Holocaust at her alma mater, Bowdoin College. For the first time since her concentration camp and forced labor camp experiences, she spoke about them in public. After that she knew she had to write her story, just as she'd planned she would while those events were happening to her.

                                      What does it mean to be a Hungarian Jew, in the years before the war? Judit Magyar, nicknamed Jutka, lives a happy and secure life as the only child of a middle class couple. That comfortable existence falls away piece by piece, as laws are passed that take away one right after another from the Magyars and other families like them. By the time Jutka and her remaining loved ones are deported, they've already survived being barred from working for a living - being deprived of their property - and being crowded into a ghetto, that used to be one of many neighborhoods where Kaposvar Jewish families lived.

                                      Wrenching though the rest of the book is, to me its most interesting aspect is Jutka's calm narration of how the city that once respected and valued her family gradually embraces Nazi-sponsored anti-Semitism. What happens when government institutionalizes hate, and makes it respectable, is all the more frightening because the culture thus poisoned is both ancient and thoroughly civilized.

                                      Brrr. Could there be a lesson in this for today's world?

                                      5 out of 5 stars An unbelieveable story.......2001-02-24

                                      The story that this woman has to tell about her experience is absolutely amazing. I work at a private school in Maine, and I have had the privilege of hearing her read one of her chapters aloud, and, along with the room of 300, I sat mesmerized by her powerful story of personal courage and perseverance. As she mentioned, the chance of hearing holocaust survivors tell their own story grows smaller each year. Listening to her tell her story, my husband and I realized that although she had suffered such inhumane treatment, she has not lost any of her humanity. She was truly inspirational, and the powerful message that she gave our students was to work for understanding and harmony while also enjoying the happy moments in their own lives. Despite the ups and downs, life is a wonderful gift. Hearing someone like Mrs. Isaacson tell you that you can look on the bright side of your life really puts everyday troubles into perspective.
