Book Description

Syria is the Middle East's best-kept secret, a country of antiquity offering Bronze Age sites, Roman ruins, Crusader castles and jewels of Islamic architecture. This second edition, written and updated by Michael Haag, award-winning author of Cadogan's guide to Egypt and an authority on the Middle East, also covers the historical marvels and the re-emergence of modern Lebanon. This guide contains intelligent, entertaining insights into history, art, architecture and culture, discerning information on where to stay and eat, and what to see as well as practical advice on getting around, bargaining in souks and excursions.

Great detail about Syria, but less about Lebanon.......2001-04-07

I like this guide for its detail about Syria, but the information about Lebanon is sketchy in comparison. If you plan to visit both countries I recommend getting a separate Lebanon guide in addition to this one. I also agree with another reviewer who said that this guide is less practical than others, such as the Lonely Planet or Rough Guides. Still, it's very well-written and pleasurable to read while you are viewing the sites.

Great detail about Syria, but less about Lebanon.......2001-04-07

Informed, eye-opening, witty, beautifully written.......2000-03-15

This is an excellent guide in every practical sense, but it is also something very much more, for it entirely draws you into Syria and Lebanon, it paints them before your eyes and immerses you in their atmosphere, so that like reading a good novel you feel you are actually there. I cannot praise too highly the artistry with which Mr Haag has composed this book, and I thank him for having provided me -- in the person of his guide -- with his knowledgable and most enjoyable company throughout my visit.

This book brought my journey to life.......2000-01-07

I had never been to Syria or Lebanon before, but when I flicked through Michael Haag's guide at the bookshop my appetite was immediately whetted. The question was whether these countries were really as good as they were made out to be -- and whether the book really worked 'on the ground'. I was not disappointed. Syria especially was marvellous, so full of staggering things to see, beautiful landscapes, charming people. And Michael Haag in his descriptions, his facts, his marvellous writing style, the wide-ranging authority of his knowledge, brought everything to life for me and made this a journey of a lifetime. By the way I used the second edition, published in December 1999.

A Must Have Reference.........2006-05-14

I've been quilting for over ten years now, and have run into only two books that were so comprehensive for referencing quilt patterns and name. One was 101 Patchwork Quilt Patterns by Ruby McKim, and The Quilter's Album of Blocks and Borders by Jinny Beyer.

I especially like Jinny Beyer's book because the blocks are separated by their basic grids, like nine-patch, four patch, etc.. The book also came with a plastic template to overlay on other patterns to determine their basic grids. I don't know if the softcover versions of this book come with that, as I've only seen the hardback version.

All of the patches are listed by by the name and date they first appeared. Most also have other, folk names listed for them, so if you're looking for a specific block, look for it in the index by the name you know it by.

I would highly recommend this book for the quilter who enjoys making traditional quilt blocks, as I do.

2nd quilt book I ever bought........2001-09-08

The first was Ruby McKim's.
I made a lot of single blocks out of this book, I think friends still have denim--lots of variations on indigo--pillows made at the time.

I learned how to analyze a block, draft the pattern.
This book won't help you with the nuts and bolts of sewing.

It won't help you visualize a whole quilt. But I expect that this book still holds up as a block book. Everyone needs at least one. After I worked with it for a while I forever lost my shyness about drafting patterns in almost any size, three inches to 25.

A must for all quilters!.......1999-02-22

This is a book for the beginner as well as the advanced quilter. It's a wonderful reference book on quilt blocks. Use it as a springboard for designing a contemporary quilt or for creating your own heirloom.

This work traces the history of the grotto from its origins in antiquity through its many revivals, most famously as important elements of Renaissance humanist gardens and of European landscape gardens that delight in waterfalls and cave dwellers - theatrical displays from Biblical sources of the 18th century

Book Description

In 1931, Gertrude Murphy Ward was pressing clothes in a Philadelphia dry cleaning establishment when a voice said to her, "Go sing my Gospel and help save dying and lost men and women." With her two daughters, Clara and Willa, she went on to found the group that became the world-famous Ward Singers. By 1970, it took fifty police officers to control the crowds that greeted the Ward Singers at one of their concerts.

Lavishly illustrated with photographs from the author's collection, this book chronicles the world-famous Ward Singers' story from rural Anderson, South Carolina, to the streets of North Philadelphia and beyond. Told by Clara Ward's older sister, Willa, with the assistance of musician and writer Toni Rose, the Wards' story ranges over the joys and frustrations, triumphs and agonies of what it means to be simultaneously a family, an entertainment business enterprise, and a group with a mission to spread God's word.

Like many other gospel singers, the Wards grew up in poverty. Willa remembers living in twenty-four different homes before she was nineteen. This was especially true after Gertrude quit her job to sing for goodwill offerings. By the time of Clara's death in 1973, however, the group was performing all over the world. They appeared on television with Dinah Shore, Steve Allen, Ed Sullivan, Johnny Carson, and many others and recorded the first million-seller hit by a gospel group, "Surely God Is Able."

From Ma Hannah, matriarch of the Murphy family, to Marion Williams, Mahalia Jackson, and C. L. Franklin, How I Got Over brings to life an unforgettable group of people, some famous, some unknown, as they are vividly recollected by a woman who was there. In her telling of heart-warming family scenes, childhood escapades, triumphant performances, Willa Ward-Royster re-creates a career and a way of life that will remain in the reader's memory.

Couldn't Put It Down.......2007-01-13

I read this because Clara Ward was a supporting character in the excellent biography of the legendary preacher, C. L. Franklin, "Singing in a Strange Land". I agree with other readers that Gertrude Ward was in serious need of extended psychiatric counseling and, very likely, an exorcism. It is beyond doubt that this dreadful woman worked her prodigously gifted daughter Clara to death and labored to deny her access to most human joys. "How I Got Over" is a real page-turner (I finished it in about 24 hours!). It gives the gospel world a bad image, but agrees with my experience (as a Christian) that the shameful private deeds of most pious Bible quoters could teach Hell's minions a few tricks. On the positive side, it (1) gives wonderful insight to the diabolical hardships Jim Crow imposed on Blacks (information most compelling in personal narratives), and (2) shows the magnitude of the debt owed to the Black church by lovers of 20th-century popular music. Despite the book's many virtues, it is obvious that Willa's depiction of Gertrude (and, perhaps, of Clara) is expurgated. For example, the unconscionably low compensation paid to the various Ward groups' supporting singers (and Willa herself) make one conjecture what those group members would have written about Gertrude and Clara.

God is Love and Love is For Everyone.......2003-02-22

The original Ward Singers are three strong, Black women who show the true integrity, fortitude, and legacy that belies the woman of color in America. For the understanding of my people I thank God that Willa Ward-Royster had the fortitude to persevere and complete this book. The Ward Singers fought, clawed, and starved to pave the way for our current gospel calvacade of stars today. Mama Gertrude was a fundamentalist steamroller who did wonders with the simple understandings that she grew up with. Clara was a prolific song writer/arranger and a tireless singer/work-aholic who had to work at fever pitch throughout her life to make even a small step away from that fundamentalist prison that she was born victim. Despite the slights from her own mother, Willarene remained selflessly loyal to the memory of her sister. As a sister Willa does protect the reader from much of Clara's activities and stories that do not directly intersect her performances. (You have to get those stories verbally from her contemporaries!) Clara should be proud that she liberated a generation. To deny her sexuality would be tantamount to denying her race. Look at her lyrics and her speeches: Clara still remains a Psalmist and a Prophet.

High Heels And Tambourines.......2002-12-17

Yes! Finally after looking for Highways and Hedges to no avail, I found How I Got Over! Never got to meet the lady, but was deeply moved and influenced by her. Met Gertrude, however and one of the Ward Singers. I'm afraid what Willa says about Gert is true and not bias!

Nonetheless, my questions were answered as to why I always sensed a sadness in Clara's incredible delivery. My heart broke for her, and I understand what I'd been told and what I read about the alcoholism!!!! Yes, she was the greatest gospel singer ever, and lives on in my heart, memory and music.

I don't find it funny!.......2001-08-29

Firstly to all who judge! You are not God. Clara Ward, her mother Mrs. Gertrude Ward, her sister and the other memembers of the Ward Singers were Christians yes. And who are we to say otherwise. But we seem to be forgetting that they are humans also. No man, or child is infallible. Christ was the only perfect creature to walk this earth. And in daily living we are to be like Him the best we can. This biography on Clara Ward was similar to "Got To Tell It: Mahalia Jackson The Queen of Gospel" in that it was out to soil the character of women who work on the Lord's behalf. We forget that. These woman were doing the Lord's work...the disciples had their faults to did they not...Jesus himself was tempted. I think that Willa Ward should be ashamed of herself that her jealousy towards her sister or her grudges against her mother should cause her to paint such a picture of them. If they were indeed like that you should have left that to God to review. I offer the same advice to Jules Schwerin and Brother John Sellers who did a fine job at creating a story that has a whole lot of misinformation (on the part of the author, Schwerin) and makes you believe that Mahalia Jackson was one of the cruelest people that ever walked the face of the earth. Both books make no mention of the fact that both women aided younger gospel singers with their careers and took care of young mother less children. Or the fact that Mahalia helped to send 50 black kids to school. Clara Ward was a mother to Aretha Franklin and her siblings after their mother passed in 1952 and was deeply admired by youngsters like Diana Ross. Or that Mahalia was a good role model and the idol and godmother-like figure to Della Reese, Shirley Caeser, Dorothy Love Coates, Mavis Staples, James Cleveland and Aretha Franklin. I find that both books tend to be biased and unbalanced...one sided and unfare and not worth your money.

herstory: a balm in gilead.......2000-08-22

i truly enjoyed reading the ward sister story. telling the story including the good, the bad and the ugly is an effective catharsis tool for the reader as well as the storyteller.

the book tells the behind the scenes story of many gospel music greats. psychologist tell us that secrets left untold can create unhealthy manifestations. i applaud ward for telling her truth. let us remember that all families and business associates have disagreements and challenges. however, may we never forget that the ward sisters were also pioneering business women, fashion trend setters, and civil rights advocates - activities unheard of in the early 20th century for women of color. though staying behind as administrator of the company may seem unglamorous, it can now be seen as a blessing because ms. ward is still alive to receive all of the accolades bestowed upon the ward singers!

i honor their courage. may we learn from their humanness in all its joy and pain. it is my prayer that this book can be a balm in gilead to heal the gospel herstory/history that we seek to hide, and strengthens the stories behind the music that we find great pride in sharing.

Book Description

Piero Boitani discusses how some of the most fascinating scenes of Old and New Testament -- Genesis, Exodus, Job, the Susanna story, the Gospel of John -- are directly or indirectly rewritten in works ranging from the medieval period to the late twentieth-century: by Milton and Mann; by Chaucer, Dryden, La Fontaine, Orwell, and Kafka; by Faulkner and Tournier; by Shakespeare, T. S. Eliot, and Joseph Roth. Literature resonates with the mystery of recognition between human beings, and between God and humankind. The opening and closing chapters of the book examine this theme: from Abraham and Yahweh at Mamre to Joseph and his brothers, from Helen and Menelaus to Jesus and Mary Magdalene, from Pericles and Marina to Mendel Singer and his son Menuchim. The three central sections of the book discuss the means by which re-scripturing interprets the Scriptures: through truth or fiction; through letter or allegory; through liturgy, exegesis, catacomb frescoes, even churches themselves. This is an illuminating look at the Bible and its medieval and modern rewritings.
