5 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource for The Georgia State Line.......2006-04-24

This book covers, as none other has ever attempted, the little known Georgia army The Georgia State Line during the Civil War. Bragg very successfully leads the reader through the tangled web of state units and clearly shows what the State Line was and what it did during the war. He also provides rosters which are invaluable for this little known organization. Bill Bragg is the acknowledged expert on the Georgia military units as this well documented study demonstrates.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent study of a little-known Civil War regiment.......2002-09-30

Mr. Bragg's book is a well-researched, well-written, and immensely valuable regimental history of this little-known but quite important Georgia unit. The GSL was a crack outfit by any standard, despite being no more than a state militia, and it's contributions in the Atlanta and Georgia Campaigns have been sadly overlooked until now. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this book is an entertaining read as well, not common in these narrow subject histories.

                    Book Description

                    In his second work in a trilogy involving the Celtic identity, Watkins mingles poetry, history, and song with tall and true tales of his adventures in the Scottish Highlands. Whether shanghaied on a ship to the Arctic Circle, hunting for gold in the mountains, sinking a docked barge, shooting the breeze with ghosts at a pub, or bedazzling friends with druid magic, Watkins keeps readers on their toes as he dances us through his days and nights as a young man finding his way through the world. From the roaring seas to the verdant Scottish countryside, Watkins tackles his rugged environs with good humor and smarts on this ultimate journey of maturation and self-discovery.
                    Bill Watkins is the author of the Book Sense best-seller A Celtic Childhood. Watkins was born in Birminghamin 1950 into a Welsh/Irish family. Both of his parents were traditional singers. He learned to play the tin whistle, guitar, banjo, mandolin, and fiddle as a youth, and has been performing ever since. As a young man he made his living on frieght and fishing ships. Watkins has won several awards for his poetry, and has contributed numerous articles to Private Eye, a satirical magazine in the U.K., and the Glasgow Herald.

                    This is a great book. I couldnt put it down! - riotously funny in places but very poignant in others. Dont let the title put you off - this is a very memorable book and you will be glad you took the time to read it!

                    5 out of 5 stars Absolutely wonderful.......2003-04-24

                    Bill Watkins' second book is at least as good as the first('A Celtic Childhood'), and continues the 'History of Bill' through his young adulthood with great adventure in Scotland('Course, he has to get there first). I rated this book five out of fibe stars only because that is the limit. It's easily a 10!

                    5 out of 5 stars Greetings- to you & yours: Marie McCarthy Lmk/thecape.......2002-11-18

                    Bill,
                    Delighted to purchase Scotland is not for the squeamish. I'm buying a celtic childhood again to give as a gift, what a riot reading this book on the plane,with the headphones on and "Laughing out loud."well, its that sort of funny book

                    5 out of 5 stars Evocative, humorous, thought-provoking.......2001-09-23

                    This continues Bill Watkins's autobiography through his time at sea, and in the Scotland of the late 60's and ealy seventies.

                    As well as the humour, you'll love the evocative prose, which with a surprisingly few words summons up as vivid a picture as any I've ever read.

                    Especially clever is his rendition of the Scots tongue.

                    His stories of the start of the Celtic music revival, of living "on the broo" in Edinburgh and the start of the "Silly Wizard" folk group will make anyone smile.

                    5 out of 5 stars Up yer Kilt!!!!!.......2001-05-14

                    Watkins has only got better. This second of a trilogy has it all.To quote " a smile that would free anyone's soul from gravity. " Read on.

                                Book Description

                                Photo Etching by Brian King covers the application by model engineers of photo-etching techniques to the precision production of metal parts for all aspects of model making ranging from finely detailed grill work and artillery details to locomotive and traction engine emblems and nameplates.

                                3 out of 5 stars Weak writing and outdated methods limit this book's usefulness.......2006-05-11

                                The authors clearly have experience with photo etching, and the included drawings and pictures are quite helpful. The photos show etched sheets as well as completed models, and illustrate what can go right when you know what you're doing (and wrong when you don't). The reproductions are clear and crisp, although I would've liked -- at least once or twice -- to see a single design make its way through each of the different stages of the process. As it is, the authors break continuity by showing a different design on each page.

                                Unfortunately, the writing is stilted and frequently phrased in the passive voice. For instance, here's a typical passage: "It is obvious that such strips are best produced in black by a pen of the Rotring type rather than two parallel cutting lines." The whole book reads like this. Perhaps the addition of an editor -- or even just a few commas -- might've been helpful.

                                Secondly, and more detrimentally, the methods used by the authors are seriously outdated. Most of the book covers the design stage, and the authors only seem to draw their designs with a pencil or pen on paper. There's a brief mention of computers at the beginning (and a short chapter on CAD), but most of the book assumes the reader has a pencil and t-square in hand. Apparently, much of the material was written in 1988, but even then, I wouldn't have considered doing this kind of work without a computer. I'm certainly not looking for a formal tutorial on CAD, but I suspect a discussion of .010" line width on a laser printer would've been infinitely more useful than the type of pen to use.

                                Chapter 8 covers home etching (as opposed to industrial etching), but again, the methods are hopelessly outdated. The authors use ceramic dishes (you know, for food...) to do their etching rather than an etching tank with a heater and agitator (commonly available for $40-$50 these days). I can imagine my grandfather doing things this way, but not anyone reading a book published in 2005. Every time I turn the page, I half expect to see a photo of the authors using a slide rule.

                                Finally, there's no discussion of materials (e.g., brass, steel, nickel silver), and very little coverage of two-sided etching. In all, this book is not nearly as useful as it could've been, and no match for the wide variety of etching tutorials freely available on the web.

                                  Product Description

                                  This study covers the world outlook for photo chemical metal etching and machining excluding metal nameplates across more than 200 countries. For each year reported, estimates are given for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for the country in question (in millions of U.S. dollars), the percent share the country is of the region and of the globe. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a country vis-à-vis others. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each country and across countries, latent demand estimates are created. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.

                                                        Book Description

                                                        Louis Moreau Gottschalk was an American original. A spellbinding piano virtuoso, he was America's first internationally recognized composer, whose "classical" works received accolades from Hector Berlioz and Victor Hugo, and whose arch-romantic melodies became for Americans the standard expressions of common emotions. Perhaps most important, his immensely popular Louisiana and Caribbean pieces--such as Danza, Pasquinade, or Bamboula--anticipated ragtime by fifty years. Indeed, the colorful and exotic textures of Gottschalk's music establish him at the head of what is today the mainstream of popular American culture. In Bamboula!, S. Frederick Starr presents an authoritatively researched, engagingly written biography of America's first authentic musical voice. Starr paints for us a striking portrait of Gottschalk's childhood in 1830s New Orleans, a city madly devoted to music, where opera companies, music halls, fiddlers and banjo-pickers, church choirs, and Army bands all contributed to what Starr calls "the most stunning manifestation of Jacksonian democracy in the realm of culture to be found anywhere in America." We meet Gottschalk's African-American nurse Sally, who regaled him with the creole songs, legends, and lore of her native Haiti, which would inform some of his finest music. We travel with Gottschalk to Paris, where he was a sensation, playing in fashionable salons for the likes of Lamartine, Gautier, and Dumas; and we join his flight from the Revolution of 1848 to a town north of Paris, where he composed his first great works--Bamboula, La Savane, Le Bananier, and Le Mancenillier--all published over the name "Gottschalk of Louisiana." Starr describes Gottschalk's successful return to New York City in the early 1850s, where he enjoyed a degree of popularity never before accorded to an American performer or composer, becoming our first homegrown concert idol. But Starr also examines the life-long struggle between the Catholic Gottschalk and earnest Protestant champions of "serious" music, a battle that pitted the austere values of northern Europe against the brighter sensibilities of Paris, Louisiana, and the West Indies. Based on extensive research, including hundreds of letters written by Gottschalk (in French, Spanish, and English) which are used here for the first time, Bamboula! illuminates an exotic but tragic life, as well as one of the most democratic phases of American cultural life, a world of bustling impresarios and America's first bohemian circle. A major biography in every sense, it will help reestablish Gottschalk's place in American musical history.

                                                        4 out of 5 stars Fine work, couple of negatives.......2003-11-29

                                                        Starr's research as other reviewers have mentioned was done well. Starr gives fine historical background to the many places Gottschalk lived. Details of the composer's life also are explained in specifics. My fault with this work-from a pianist point of view, is the author gives no insight to how Gottschalk became one of the five greatest pianists of the 19th century, in same ranks with Chopin, Listz, Thalberg. Starr makes no effort to show how Gottschalk practiced, and how he could keep up his incredible technique stills while traveling so much. He descibes Gottschalk's early training in Paris, but after that barely mentions how Gottschalk took his piano skills to the highest in world. Another problem I had is the author often went into little depth on how Gottschalk composed. Some of his great works are given a passing sentence and left at that, with little, and often no musical analysis of any piece. In fact, one won't find a musical staff in the whole book. One of his finest little caprices "Suis Moi" ("Follow Me"), isn't even listed in the book. I understand the composer wrote over 100 pieces, depth cannot be given to too many, but essentially there was none of this for any piece-say for except a couple.
                                                        Some of this might stem from the biographer himself not being a pianist, and not a composer (at least one of any distinction). Perhaps Starr lacked the neccessary insight for more musical opinions, or perhaps too much of Gottschalk's life is still relatively unknown. I'll perhaps give a pass to author on the latter point, and give book 4 stars because it is the best biography on him yet written.

                                                        1 out of 5 stars Bamboozelled!.......2000-02-16

                                                        While I must agree with the other reviews, that Starr certainly does include a lot of references, just 40 pages into this tome - that's less than 10% - I am painfully aware of two things:

                                                        1. The constant stretch to EXPLAIN everything (his father's family's roots came via Germany and England - THEREFORE, LMG never played there).

                                                        2. A great deal of FACT is "debunked" in this effort. For instance, one instance, he says Congo Square never held slave dances during Gottschalk's time. Well, Benjamin Latrobe visited in 1819 and specifically sought out this attraction (for it was an attraction even then), he even goes to great length to describe the instruments, the drumming, dancing, singing and "savagry" (see "Louisiana Sojourns" and "Congo Square in New Orleans").

                                                        Let us not lose history in an effort to explain. Use all the facts, not just those which serve your purpose.

                                                        Unfortunately - I now do not believe every conclusion and "fact" in the entire 450+ page tome!

                                                        This is very unfortunate. I loved Starr's "Southern Comfort" and use it often. My advice is unless you have years to sort out all the half-truths here, you should skip Bamboula!

                                                        5 out of 5 stars Facinating examination of a most underrated composer.......2000-01-14

                                                        If you've listened to just ONE Gottschalk composition, then you're ready to travel to the 19th century Louisana Bayou and follow young Louis Moreau to Europe and South America. This book is a detailed and engaging look at one of the world's most underrated composers and performers; one who undertood the importance of getting into communication with the audience.

                                                        One doesn't have to read far into S. Frederic Starr's biography of Louis Moreau Gottschalk to learn three things. First, that the author pursued more leads and sifted through more material than anyone else thus far in the search for information about this musical legend. Second, that Mr. Starr just adores Gottschalk's music and wishes you would, too. And third, that it's a darn shame there aren't more editors in the publishing business these days. Overall an illuminating and enjoyable book, Bamboula! covers more details about Gottschalk's concert programs and love for his mother than is perhaps necessary, but one can only admire the biographer's persistance in researching and writing this book. His descriptions of the musical institutions and leaders of the middle of the last century, particularly, reveal much about our musical tastes today. The material might perhaps have been conveyed more effectively with fewer adjectives, but that's a stylistic quibble. A major flaw, though, is the lack of a discography. Mr. Starr refers to several compositions of Gottschalk's, noting that certain performances of them are inadequate. But how is the reader to judge - or to enjoy any of this marvelous music - if there is no guide to what is available on recordings? Readers of this type of semi-scholarly book are more likely to buy a CD than to order a score and analyze it, aren't they? Anyway, I recommend this book to anyone who wishes to learn more about music and culture in 19th-century America.
