Super adventure.......2003-08-08

I got a copy of this book whilst in the USA on vacation and was unable to put it down until I had finished reading it!! Great story very well told the ring of truth runs through it all along. Sorry it is unavailable in the U.K. -- frightened to lend it out in case it does not come back!

What Adventures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2003-07-23

I just finished Nick Mangieri's Passport to Danger. What a life of adventure. He is the man who personifies all we wished to be as kids. He is all of our childhood heroes rolled into one. He takes us visiting South American and Central American countries. With Nick we go searching for diamonds as well as big game hunting in the jungles of British Guiana, and live off the same food as the natives. Later we travel to Mexico with Nick to not only write his adventure as would Hemingway and Steinbeck, but we once again go big game hunting. To top it off, we put away the writing material to climb an 18,700 foot high mountain in Mexico, the third highest peak in the North American Continent. Battling altitude sickness, frostbite, snow and winds, will we make the conquest or fail? You'll have to read to find out.

I'm glad Nick was such a bold adventurer, but I'm even more happy that he wrote about these death defying trips and let me be a part of these sojourns from my chair in my air conditioned house.

Hurry up and order Passport to Danger - it's a must read.

Walk the Walk and Talk the Talk.......2003-01-23

In Passport to Danger, Nick Mangieri tackles the amazon jungle and its teeming dangers with the tenacity of a pit bull shaking the word adventure for all its worth. Two hundred and ninety pages of a "man's man" truth in search of self. Nick has walked the walk and can talk the talk. You are there with him in the amazon for every breathtaking moment from diamond hunting and wrestling with boa's, to climbing its highest peak. A heart pounding read even better than his biography's in Frozen Shield and Broken Badge.

"A two thumbs up all the way."
Joe DeIulio- Writer and Artist

AZ & NY Reader reviews Passport To Danger.......2002-12-04

After reading Author Nick Mangieri's new offering;"Passport To Danger" I am fully convinced that he is a man you'd follow into a combat situation. Mangieri abducts your mind and interest
in the first few pages and you can't put it down until you close the rear cover. This true adventure story takes you to the steamy jungles of Central and South America. The author is face to face with a boa constrictor and what happens next I can't share with you in this review. Wow!!The goose bumps take form immediately. The author is a self-motivated individual who blends well in this part of the world and he interacts with various people along the journey's path. He's intdelligent,
and isn't afraid to ask questions and always ready to accept a challenge.

When confronted by governmental red tape he handles it well and knows the protocol forward and backward.

He embraces a search for diamonds and learns the art of mining these precious stones. Diamond mining is hard work and takes great skill and physical endurance in preparing the pits for harvesting. As a reader I learned alot from this true adventure story. You could witness the bonding between Author Mangieri
and Andrew Shanks in the insect infested jungle heat and I'm certain I felt a couple of stings or bites as I read on. The author marveled at Shanks tenacity and endurance, who was much oldere than himself. Again,I sensed that ever present resolve and courage of the Author as he took on every challenge of this journey.

When a tiger confronted Mangieri headon, again I will leave that moment of surprise to the reader. The beads of sweat rolled off my forehead and I was only the reader.

He learned a great deal about the "pork knockers," during his hunt for diamonds.

Lastly, Mangieri takes on the highest mountain in Mexico, which is the third highest peak in North America. Mount Pico de Orizaba was a challenge and the author experienced oxygen deprivation on his ascent to the top. Mangieri is gutsy and displays courage above and beyond as he accepts this challenge.

I have read Author Mangideri's three titles. He is a fine writer and the main theme I sense in all three offerings is that he up to any challenger, anywhere and at anytime. This gentleman doesn't give up. Congratulations!! Nick, if I can be a little informnal. Keep up the fine writing.

Book Description

Metric Pattern Cutting was first published in 1975 to provide a straightforward introductory book for students beginning courses in flat pattern cutting. The fourth edition continues to offer an introduction to the basic principles of pattern cutting, with a range of good basic blocks and examples of their application to garments. However, the great expansion of casual wear, cut in jersey or stretch fabrics, has led to the growth of 'flat cutting' with no darting to create the shape and this edition devotes a whole section to this type of cutting. The sections on computer-aided design and grading have been updated. The size charts of body measurements have been revised, reflecting the changing shape of women's bodies.

Customer Reviews:

Great book for beginners, but has one fault!.......2003-06-17

this book is great for the novice dressmaker. It provides guidelines for taking accurate body measurements and includes a comprehensive step-by-step guide for drafting patterns for today's modern designs. However, for those of who are totally new to the idea of sewing, you need to buy a book which tells how to piece together the pattern pieces.

Book Description

Hundreds of stylish illustrations and clear, concise instructions are used to illustrate this flexible system of pattern cutting, offering both students and designers the means to achieve original, well-cut designs. The children's clothing market has changed remarkably during the last decade, and this standard work has been totally revised and rewritten to reflect new developments, including the increasing importance of knitted fabrics and the fashion consciousness of today's mothers.

Book Description

In praise of diversity, Jessie Grearson and Lauren Smith offer Love in a Global Village: A Celebration of Intercultural Families in the Midwest, an account of the triumphs of Þfteen inter-cultural families and the perseverance of their relationships in midwestern America. Love in a Global Village presents love stories in which couples recount their courtships, their adventures and difÞculties, and their individual choices to build lives together despite differences of race, language, religion, and culture. Divided into four sections, the book presents a progression from early courtship and marriage to raising children and preserving multiple cultures and traditions. Welcomed into homes in towns like Kalona, Iowa, and SpringÞeld, Missouri, Grearson and Smith introduce readers to unexpected fusions of culture in middle America. In one home an answering machine greets callers in both English and Mandarin. In another, wedding photos show a freckled Iowan bride dressed for a traditional Sikh wedding ceremony. By focusing on small communities where intercultural relationships are exceptions rather than the norm, Smith and Grearson offer afÞrmation that multicultural households exist everywhere and can endure and ßourish almost anywhere.

Customer Reviews:

Realism and Intercultural Marriage.......2001-02-02

Jessie Grearson and Lauren Smith have written a fine companion to their earlier book SWAYING, which was a compendium of writings by people in international, interracial, and intercultural marriages. This time, in LOVE IN A GLOBAL VILLAGE, Smith and Grearson are the authors, telling the stories of fifteen intermarried couples they have interviewed. Cynics (such as the anonymous author of an unfortunate review in Publisher's Weekly) may wish to see conflict, dysfunction, anger, poverty, and misery in intercultural families. To suggest, as that review does, that such negativities are the usual lot of intermarriages is a racist mistake. Grearson and Smith eschew such unthinking racism. Instead, they show us families as they are. The families they interviewed sometimes suffered the effects of racism and poverty. But the message here is ultimately one of confidence and hope. That is because these families basically work. As one who has interviewed thousands of intermarried couples and their children (author of Mixed Blood: Intermarriage and Ethnic Identity in 20th-Century America), I found Grearson and Smith's account rang true. The book is also beautifully produced by the University of Iowa Press. I recommend it heartily.

I really liked this book because ..........2001-02-02

...it was, for me, like a book of travelers' tales, about a land I myself am about to enter. Instead of dry academic posturing, "Love In A Global Village" led me on a dozen journeys taken, before me, by people with whom I could relate. I had actually met one of them, I found, a woman in Evanston, Shirlee Taraki, who married a man from Kabul and moved to Afghanistan. I knew something of her story, but I found out a lot more by reading Jessie Grearson and Lauren Smith's book. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to know about the day-to-day adventures and difficulties in an intercultural relatrionship.

Book Description

Sergei Rachmaninoff was a renowned composer, pianist, and conductor. Because he was a member of the Russian aristocracy, he fled the country after the tsar's abdication, and eventually relocated in the United States. Many of his compositions are for piano, yet he also composed orchestral and symphony works, three operas, choral and liturgical works, some chamber works, and numerous songs. This guide catalogues his numerous works and performances, provides a detailed bibliography, and includes a discography of recordings released within the last half-century. Cross-referenced throughout, this volume should appeal to music and Rachmaninoff scholars who are looking for a comprehensive guide to further research.

Book Description

When German troops come to the small village of Be³zyce, Poland, in 1939, nine-year-old Jakub Szabmacher's world is forever changed. At first the humiliations inflicted by the Germans seem small, but the conditions worsen until eventually Jakub's family and much of his village are murdered, and he is sent to various concentration camps in Poland and Germany, where he struggles to survive the terrible conditions of camp life. Finally liberated in 1945 from the concentration camp in Flossenbürg, Germany, Jakub is befriended by American troops and with their help brought to the United States, where he takes the name Jack Terry. Coauthor Alicia Nitecki, whose grandfather was also imprisoned at Flossenbürg, uses Terry's personal memories to tell young Jakub's story, as well as unpublished memoirs, private letters, and interviews with former inmates of the Flossenbürg concentration camp and the townspeople of Be³zyce and Flossenbürg. Part history, part autobiography, Jakub's World offers an anguished young boy's perspective on the Holocaust.
