Letters Reveal a Family Torn by Civil War.......2002-07-03

David Hein, a Professor of Religion at Hood College in Maryland, has found gold in the mine of his state's Civil War archives, in this collection of letters written by members of a prominent Maryland family on the eve of and during the war. Hein's book immerses us in civilian life as civil war approached, fiercely as a wind-driven wildfire, personified by the Montgomery County family of Allen Bowie Davis, a prosperous gentleman farmer/legislator from Rockville, then a village north of Washington.

Davis and his wife, Hester, in time became unionists who feared the consequences of a Maryland secession for their state and family. "We may not like the present administration, nor endorse its acts-but-`we had better bear the ills we have than to fly to others that we know not of,'" wrote Hester to her daughter, Rebecca, late in May of 1861. "Let Maryland remain neutral and she may ride out safely this awful storm...I fear this secession element. It would be certain ruin to all our hopes as a family, in this world."

Their son, William Wilkins Davis, was a student at St. James College, a prestigious Episcopal boy's school near Hagerstown, in western Maryland. St. James had the misfortune to lie between opposing armies that tramped incessantly through the region and staged America's bloodiest day on a battlefield a mere seven miles distant, along Antietam Creek. The boys of St. James spent Sunday afternoons in the spring of 1861 not in the library but visiting nearby union and confederate camps. Fearful parents began withdrawing their sons as tensions grew. In the spring of 1861, with the bombardment of Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor and Baltimoreans clashing with northern troops marching through their city, young Wilkins became an impassioned sympathizer for the southern cause. Letters heretofore about food, studies and illness became angry diatribes against Lincoln, Maryland Governor Thomas Hicks, and others perceived to have a foot on the jugular of southern state's rights. "I hereby announce myself, henceforth, a straight out `Southern Rights' man, and want nothing to do with Lincoln, his party or anything connected with him, or it, unless it is to help thrash him," he wrote to sister Rebecca on May 21, 1861. "I can no longer support a man whose avowed intention is to subjugate the South...and our contemptible, cowardly, lying governor winks at every thing [he] does without the lest compunction." Such words remind us that 19th century political discourse could also be ugly and coarse.

Both young Wilkins and St. James fared poorly in the cauldron of conflict. The boy took ill early in the war and, despite periods of good health, he died in 1866. The college closed its doors in 1864, an educational casualty of war.

Hein's book captures the complexity of the Civil War in a state of abolitionists, pro-slavery unionists, anti-slavery southern sympathizers and non-slaveholding secessionists. We see a pivotal Maryland through the eyes of adults and children, and the consequences of war for familial relationships, religious values and educational institutions. Hein's crisp editorial commentary knits these letters chronologically, supplying time and place for the Davis family to tell of life in the tumultuous middle of the nineteenth century. We are in the debt of this slender volume, for reminding us that a history replete with leaders and battles is incomplete absent the insights of sons and daughters, and mothers and fathers.

Book Description

It is not necessary that the subject of a biography should be a famous man in order that his story may be interesting and helpful. Doctor Johnson said that there is not a man in the street whose biography ought not to be made interesting, provided he could narrate something of his experiences of life, his trials, his difficulties, his successes and his failures.

Of the fifteen men whose life stories are sketched in Men Who Conquered, some became famous, while some lived and died in obscurity. But all of them achieved splendid things, in the face of difficulties and discouragements almost without number. So it is well that others who long to surmount obstacles shall look to them for inspiration and courage. - J. T. F.

A Trophy House-with-a-Twist of Eloquence ?.......2007-01-09

What are known as trophy houses have been stricken with this century's disease of obesity. In stark contrast are what architect-author Ashley Smith presents as *Haiku Cottages* - - spare, with a hint of New England, and a refreshingly eloquent breath from the Far East.

It is delightful to have these drawings for 'small & definitely beautiful' dwellings likened to haiku poems. Most school children become familiar with haiku in the elementary grades. The book is appropriately slim and a chapter shares six haiku, including this choice one from Basho (1644-1694): "A bee/staggers out/of the peony." Such sweetness comes also from the satisfaction of good design. Small spaces have a way of encouraging minds to stretch while excess possessions are jettisoned.

Reviewer mcHAIKU would miss having *nooks & crannies* that might result from a 2-story plan, and stairs do set forth a minimum daily requirement of exercise. Habitat strongly influences the way we live & think. It would be interesting to observe the creativity that springs from those who live in dwellings so necessarily close to Nature.

Ashley Smith has shared his ideas in a way, not pushy, but quiet and conversational. You may discover that you are quite eager to draw your own design, as suggested, and invite the concept of 'retreat' into your life.

Someday I will live in a Haiku Cottage.......1999-12-02

This little book touched my soul

Simpleminded.......1999-10-04

While Smith is to be commended for his advocacy of minimalism and simplicity, this book is of little practical use in designing a house. It's tiny, for one thing, and contains very few useful technical drawings and very little factual prose. The prose and drawings aren't inspirational in an abstract way, either -- mostly, they're just mushy, New Age-ish platitudes about minimalism. They're not worth the cover price. Check out Tremblay's "Small House Designs" (ISBN 0882669664), which is far superior and just a few bucks more expensive.

I wish I owned a Smith designed Haiku cottage!.......1999-06-17

Haiku Cottage's principles are wonderfully thought out. The drawings are clear and FUN! Somewhere we consumers have lost the idea of what a home could be. Mr Smith reminds us once again.

The real gold of nutrition & good health, mined & refined!.......1999-06-01

As a professional nutritional consultant, I write a two page monthly newsletter and am in awe of the consistent high quality of what Dr. Ronzio has given us. In my efforts to distill pertinent material for the busy doctor from books and scientific articles, I have many reference and text books to further consult from. I invariably look to Dr. Ronzio's Encyclopedia on Nutrition and Good Health for integrity, clarity and depth of understanding in objective and concise terminology. Like the other reviewers of this enclyclopedia on nutrition and good health, I find it a very valuable and useful source.

I highly recommend that nutritional health professionals obtain two reference copies, one for their immediate use and the other as their waiting room copy. Its inviting manner with immediately usable information allows for a better educated patient with even a better chance of getting well.

I also recommend Dr. Ronzio's Enclylopedia to anyone having difficulty explaining the nature of good nutrition to the rest of the family. He adeptly addresses and clarifies much of the bogus nutritional information in today's terms and settings in a very easy to find and read format.

Thank you, Dr. Ronzio, for all your dedicated hard work to provide The Encyclopedia of Nutrition and Good Health.

It is a worthy investment with many returns.

A valuable reference book for health related questions........1999-04-28

Dr. Bob Ronzio, a Ph.D. with 30 years of experience teaching in the field of biochemistry and nutrition, has put together this accurate and thorough listing from A-Z covering vitamins, nutrients, foods, illnesses, and more. If you're a health practitioner or an informed consumer with a health related question, this is a valuable book to have on hand.

Book Description

Since the Middle Ages, Vilnius, Lithuania, has been a main center of Jewish cultural, religious, social and political activity. At one time, half of the population was Jewish, but everything changed during the Holocaust: the Jewish community was destroyed by the Nazis and their collaborators--but some refused to surrender without a fight. Witenberg and Sheinbaum were the leaders of the Jewish underground resistance in Vilnius; the Germans appointed Gens as Jewish Head of the ghetto. Each of them had the same objectives: personal and communal survival--yet all three perished. This book compares the * different approach of each man to the issues of resistance and survival * illuminates the specific problems of Jewish resistance * considers the larger dilemma of survival during the Nazi era
