Notes what would normally be missed by the average hiker.......1998-07-01

I found Marcia's descriptions of the places to hike in Pennsylvania to be very descriptive, even down to the smallest of details. Many hikers would often miss the vast array of flora and fauna that can be found in a state that is often thought of as being more urban than untamed, wild, remote, and undisturbed. I plan to visit some of the sights listed, even though they may be a four or five hour drive away. I am definitely more aware of the treasures to be found in Pennsylvania after reading this title.

Medieval Furniture.......2007-06-27

The second book in the series this one again simply sets out how to make are beautiful array of wooden Medieval furniture, including information on; how to make all the fittings, carving and finishes, all the dimensions and instructions on how to put the furniture together.

I make furniture in my spare time and having a book like this is a boon.

Only problem the measurements are in empiral, luckily I am old enough to know what they mean let alone how to use them.

not bad.......2007-01-03

I think this is a good book for someone who is interested in the medieval gendra.It may not be the best woodworking manuel but it gives a good overview of the furniture and its construction .Anyone with enthusiasm and access to a workshop can reproduce this rough one off type of furniture.The beauty of everything in the medieval world is that everything is a unique piece.I believe this book will help the experianced and the novice woodworker by giving them a starting point to produce their own unique furniture.

Repeats many of the errors from his first book........1999-10-04

Unfortunately, this edition repeats many of the inaccuracies of the first book. If you are an experienced woodworker, the measured drawings and photos are useful; but ignore the so-called historical notes. A number of the projects are reconstructions of reconstructions, so there are many leaps of faith that the design is authentic. For accurate information on period furniture joinery, decoration, etc., see Victor Chinnery's book "Oak Furniture, the British Tradition." For information on how to build furniture using hand tools in a period fashion, see Roy Underhill's "Woodwright" series of books.

Good Plans - Exactly what I needed.......2000-07-27

This was a very good book. Of course if you are looking for the exact plans measured off the real thing then save yourself some time. If you are looking to make Medieval-looking furniture and are not an Authent-o-crat then you will like this. It has good solid designs and plans for the modern medievel enthusiast. Gets you from point A to point B using tools that we have in the 21st century and is the best I have been able to find.

Good plans for medieval furniture, lousy research!.......1998-11-06

The plans offer a good starting point for anyone interested in medieval furniture construction, but please don't take the accompanying background seriously, because it is full of inaccuracies and insubstantiated rumors. This said, if you are an enthusiast of medieval furniture, use the projects in this book as a starting point for your own exploration of medieval woodwork and to guide you in your research.

Not very useful to the beginning woodworker.......1998-08-07

There are many problems with this book. The author uses the wrong terminology; he makes mistaken assumptions on the construction of the furniture; his woodworking methodology is very lacking; he dosen't appear to be a seasoned woodworker talking about making medieval furniture, but someone into medieval times writing about the furniture; 8 of the 19 projects are considered mideval on a technicality - beging made 50 or so years before the time frame ended; he says dovetails sould be cut with a hand held saber saw. I can picture people running to the local home center and buying 2x material and digging at it with dull chisels claiming it is medieval because it is crude. There are some good points. The tapestry and candle stand are inspiring, and the couple pages of resources at the back of the book. Anybody serious about medieval furniture should not consider this authoritative.

Useful photos and drawings, but poor scholarship........1998-01-23

Diehl provides some useful measured drawings for those of us who can't make it to the V&A. But nothing is documented (esp. his dubious historical notes, e.g., that seasoning wood was unknown in the Middle Ages, that drawboring was used because they worked with green wood). Modern woodworkers will find it adequate; students of medieval carpentry should steer clear.

Book Description

For decades, Walter Legge (1906-1979) was the dominant figure in the recording of classical music. As music critic of the Manchester Guardian, head of the classical division of EMI/Angel, assistant artistic director at Covent Garden, and founder-owner of the great Philharmonia Orchestra, he was at the very center of international musical life during the mid-twentieth century.

A self-absorbed authoritarian and perfectionist who was either revered or detested by his contemporaries, Legge was passionately devoted to the highest standards of performance. Known as the "autocract of the turntable" or "the pope of music," Legge collaborated with such singers and conductors as Maria Callas, Herbert von Karajan, Sir Thomas Beecham, and Otto Klemperer to produce hundreds of recordings that are still considered the finest ever made in opera, the symphonic literature, chamber music, and especially German Lieder.

In On and Off the Record, the great soprano Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Legge's wife and musical associate for over thirty years, compiles and annotates writings both by and about her late husband to provide a fascinating and rich portrait of this complicated musical genius. Connected by Schwarzkopf's own charming narrative, the collection combines fragments from Legge's unfinished autobiography, his correspondence, and his musical criticism with tributes from colleagues as well as radio and television interviews. The work includes an appreciation by Dorle Soria, cofounder of Angel Records, observations by distinguished musicologist Edward Greenfield on Legge's studio sessions, and a selected discography by Alan Sanders.

On and Off the Record is both a history of a golden age of recording and a lively memoir of the brilliant man who influenced it more than any other single person.

A great book on Legge and the great artists of his time........1999-07-09

This is not just a book about Walter Legge, it covers the history of the Renaissance of Recorded Music as well. Each chapter deals with another of the great artists he worked with. He gives his detailed impressions of the person and the artist. A must is the one on Maria Callas, La Divina. Elisabeth Schwarzkopf as editor puts everything in perspective with a preface to each chapter. A wonderful book.

Book Description

A young Polish Catholic woman and forged identity papers helped a family of six and two of their friends escape an almost certain annihilation. Her sacrifices and caring are told against the backdrop of the war years when it was a day-to-day struggle just to find food, coal, and warm clothing. The woman, a complete stranger, made the difference between life and death. This personal memoir shows that love, mutual trust, and a strong personal identity contributed to survival and sanity under the most horrific conditions. It is a tale of love and courage, and the nurturing of them under the most dangerous circumstances, and coming out victorious.
