Complete IP primer for e-commerce.......2002-05-14

This is a complete primer on intellectual property and its value to the enterprise. Key issues that are addressed include:

Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)- this is probably the most important discussion in the book because it continues to be controversial.

Complete discussions of all aspects of intellectual property law as it pertains to cyberspace. The clarification of the protections afforded to patent holders that are not given to trademark holders is invaluable. In addition, I learned much about the value of patents and how a business model can be developed around patents alone. I particularly liked the discussion of patent ownership (employee inventor vs. company to which the patent was assigned). This alone makes the book worth reading.

Case studies - many of the case studies which are used throughout the book focused on pending court cases when the book was published. Many have now been resolved, the resolution of which open more questions and further cloud issues. I'd like to see an update or second edition that provides closure.

Excellent introduction to technical issues. The author has a knack for reducing the key elements into easy-to-understand chunks of information that teach non-technical readers quite a lot about technology.

If you buy one book on intellectual property law from a cyber-business perspective, this is the one to get.

You donï¿½t have to be a lawyer to appreciate CyberRegs.......2001-11-28

As book titles go, CyberRegs: A Business Guide to Web Property, Privacy, and Patents sounds uninteresting. Fortunately, what the book lacks in flashy titles, it makes up in interesting content. CyberRegs is an engrossing and sometimes angry look at the perverse nature of patent law.

When many people think of the Internet and e-commerce, they think of a series of open and non-proprietary standards that enable computers to speak networking Esperanto. As the book shows, that does not necessarily jive with reality. Many companies have tried to homestead on pioneering technologies and use them to gain a lock on the market. Author Bill Zoellick cites numerous cases -- many still in litigation -- to illustrate this point.

The book starts with a brief background of the nature of copyright and patent law and doesnýt assume any type of legal background or expertise. Zoellickýs writing style is easy going but to the point, and he accomplishes his goal of examining the disruption and instability that the Web has introduced into the world of intellectual property.

Zoellick looks at the Web from many different perspectives, from business and legal to technological and political. While some may think they don't need a book about Internet law and regulations, the reality is that, for any organization doing business on the Internet, there exists the strong possibility that they may be infringing on someone elseýs intellectual property rights.

One of the most controversial issues that the book looks at is one-click patents issued to Amazon.com. The one-click patents preclude any Internet business that has not licensed the technology from Amazon.com from enabling their customerýs to complete their purchasing experience with a single mouse click. The question of whether one-click is even patentable is a controversial one. Those who say it is, feel that Amazon.com is protecting a vital business asset. Those who donýt support it say that it only serves to stifle productivity. Zoellick gives numerous other examples.

CyberRegs also goes into such issues as digital signature and privacy. Zoellick does not take sides, but provides a fair-minded look at the debate between greater and lesser control of privacy and the Internet. The book also tackles such controversial topics as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Napster and DeCSS.

In part 3, Zoellick provides an excellent overview of digital certificates. He goes into detail on the parameters around the groundbreaking E-SIGN (Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce) act. Many have complained that E-SIGN is extremely light on details and specifics, which it is.However, Zoellick says that with E-SIGN, Congress took the approach that we donýt really understand how to do business on the Internet so issues surrounding authentication of electronic signatures are not necessarily easy problems to solve.With that, Congress restricted government action to the parts of the problem where they are directly involved and required.Congress recognized that for any effective solution, markets need time to develop and patience is required. Although this approach is hard when dealing with Internet time, it is nonetheless necessary.

You donýt have to be a lawyer to appreciate CyberRegs. Anyone who wants to have a business presence on the Net should read this book so as not to get involved in a legal tussle. While John Grisham may own the legal fiction market, CyberRegs is as close to a non-fiction legal thriller as you can get.

The other side of CI.......2001-11-09

Although CyberRegs has a much wider audience, my perspective of this book is that of a competitive intelligence specialist. The four topic areas covered, from a CI specialist's point of view are illuminating.

The first two topics, copyrights and patents, are the foundation of intellectual property and by extension, corporate and shareholder value. The author's discussion of both copyrights and patents expose loopholes that can work for or against you, depending on which side you are on. One theme the author repeatedly addresses is the fact that copyright and patent law is lagging behind the technology. He cites numerous case studies, all of which you will either applaud or condemn depending on which side of the issue you happen to be. As a CI specialist who engages in "white ops" (collection of competitive intelligence using legal methods), I was somewhat dismayed by aspects of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) because it draws legal boundaries that didn't previously exist. The CI community needs to be aware of this particular law because what was heretofore "white ops" may fall under black ops (illegal intelligence gathering) under the provisions of the DMCA.

The more technical topics, electronic signatures and privacy, are presented in the same balanced and thought-provoking way as copyrights and patents. Having recently read Bruce Schneier's SECRETS & LIES I had some insights into the technical aspects, but the nuances that Mr. Zoellick brings to these topics makes for compelling reading. He manages to raise thorny issues and provide answers from both sides of the issue.

Overall this is an invaluable book that should be read by anyone who seeks to understand the current state of intellectual property laws, the challenges imposed by the connected world, or how the laws and challenges combine to change the playing field. As stated above, the DMCA alone will have wide implications in my profession, and is certain to affect business operations and corporate policy in far ranging ways.

A must read for all business people who use the Internet.......2001-10-10

Laws relating to patents and copyrights are always moving targets, but at this time they are running on jets. The speed with which technology is changing how we use things has left the legal system struggling to understand, much less keep up. However, it is a critical part of our society at large, as well as how we do business now and in the future. Therefore, all citizens need to understand the basics of the law and it is unconscionable that anyone in business would not understand the rules of copyrights and patents to a high degree. Yes, it is possible to hire lawyers, but they are expensive and cannot be with you every moment of the business day.
This backdrop serves to demonstrate how critical this book is to the management of the modern business. Since an Internet presence that allows for interaction is nearly mandatory, this could be the most important book you read this year. It already has a place on my best books of the year list for 2002. What makes the book so impressive is that the author pounds home the point that copyrights and patents are not fundamental rights, but are in fact derived under the basic notion of the common good. They are designed to encourage the creators of new things to make them available for the general society, while reserving certain key aspects for the inventors. The case involving the music swapping company Napster is examined in detail without a step up on a virtual soapbox. Zoelick also recapitulates the famous legal case over the video cassette recorder, which went all the way to the Supreme Court, where the decision turned out to be a sensible one.
The end result of that case should provide all of us with an object lesson concerning new technologies. It is clear that fighting the new technologies is at best a holding action rather than an effective long-term strategy. The best solution is simply to ferret out the best ways in which your business can open new markets and profit from the changes. Yes, changes in copyright law take many years to resolve, but in the end, the market and society will get the greatest good, which is the way it must be.
This is a book that should be required reading of anyone in business who makes decisions concerning intellectual property. In fact, some of the chapters are recommended for any citizen concerned about how our society is changing, as the effective resolution of these issues may have a dramatic affect on our economy.

A surprising must-read, even for technical people.......2001-09-30

I am a senior engineer for network security operations who frequently reviews technical books. I was hesitant to read "CyberRegs," given its "Business Guide" subtitle. Noticing the book mentioned controversial topics like the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA), Napster, and the DeCSS case, I decided I'd give "CyberRegs" a try. That proved to be a wise decision, and I strongly recommend this book to anyone worried about the future of the Internet.

The book is exceptionally well-written, with a clear style and a welcome lack of typos (gasp). In a former life I read plenty of boring, repetitive policy books, but I had no trouble digesting "CyberRegs."

The book is arranged around the themes of copyright, patents, electronic signatures, and privacy. "CyberRegs" gives both sides of each argument, but wisely includes the authors own helpful opinion. (I was pleased to see the author share many of the security community's views on the DMCA, Napster, and so on.) Because Zoellick presents balanced arguments, readers will understand the opposition's complaints and can more effectively counter them.

"CyberRegs" was written to help business people engage in the debates and legislation shaping the Internet. Along the way the reader gains a solid historical understanding of how we arrived at the current state of affairs. Would you believe that software or business methods weren't patentable until recently? Would you believe the United States was the world's most egregious intellectual property pirate until 1891? Given this background, readers gain a sense of why policies developed, and how one can help influence the present and future of the Internet.

I found no major weaknesses in this book or its arguments, but I have two technical/security comments. First, "Web bugs" can be used to transfer more information than an IP address; some use "Web bugs" to validate email addresses. Second, giving customers access to data collected by businesses opens bigger doors for malicious hackers to manipulate that data. Readers may share these concerns, which the author doesn't address.

"CyberRegs" seems marketed as a "business guide," and speaks in part to "business people." As a technical person, I gained the knowledge needed to better defend my opinions on copyright, patents, electronic signatures, and privacy. Technical staff looking for the "why" of state of the Internet will probably love this book -- I certainly did!

excellent bread baking book.......2006-10-18

This is definitely the ultimate book for baking all sorts of bread meals. Corn bread, scones, gingerbread, pretty much ANYTHING you want to know about cooking bread can be found in this very convenient book. The book does a nice job of showing you how easy it is to cook anything related to bread. It's also a pretty good learning experience, personally.

Quantity Over Quality.......2004-12-01

This a decent, but not outstanding collection of quick bread recipes. Having a complete assembly of recipes in one book is a great convenience. Normally, I have to flip through a number of cookbooks to get the quick bread I want, since each one has only a few such recipes. The recipes themselves, however, are pretty standard, and you probably already many similar recipes in the baking books you have on your bookshelf. I do recommend this one, but only because of the convenience of having all the quick bread recipes in one place. The main advantage is that when you are looking for a very good quick bread recipe, you only have to search through this book, rather than having a pile of a dozen or so baking books on your desk.

All of the recipes in the cornbread chapter have flour, rather than the genuine article that does not have flour. The muffin chapter was pretty pitiful, as was the coffee cakes. The pancake chapter would be more useful if the author described the character of the particular pancake (light and fluffy, thick and rich, thin and rubbery-in the good sense, spidery and lacy, etc.) rather than regale you with anecdotal stories. There are several rare and valuable crepe recipes, but the recipes for the fillings are below average. A significant minority of the recipes seems to be nothing more than manuscript padding; I am not convinced that the author actually tested all of the recipes (viz: the ones that add cooked rice, since they were either gritty or lumpy; the recipes for microwave fruit jam were laughable, not to mention dangerous). Most of the waffle recipes are the wierd ones requiring egg whites beaten to soft peaks. The author has also picked up the bad habit of adding whole grains and/or dried fruit to just about everything for a healthy and nutritious treat (derived from either "Recipe/Diet for a Small Planet", the worst cookbooks ever, or else British baking books).

The last chapter is a reasonably useful compendium of ingredients, techniques, and equipment. Some sort of table of contents of this chapter would have been useful. The sections on eggs, salt, sugar and oil are predominantly wrong. Several recipes call for beaten egg whites, but detailed instructions for doing so are not forthcoming.

It has chapters on: loaf breads, gingerbreads, cornbreads, coffee cakes, muffins, pancakes, crepes, waffles, popovers, dumplings, scones, and biscuits.

The Bread Queen.......2002-09-19

I love this book because our family is a "Sunday Brunch" crowd. We make a brunch each and every Sunday and have a great time. Of course there is always a sweet bread/coffee cake and most of the time it comes from this book or the author's other book: Breakfast Breads - which I also highly recommend.

Who wouldn't want to wake up to the smell of homemade bread (even if it's quick bread) and fresh coffee?

I hope you enjoy it as much we do!

Fast, simple and tasty breakfast goods.......2002-06-20

I am the same as Kelly. I borrow the book from the library and try a couple recipes to make sure it tastes good and then buy the book. This book offers alternatives to the recipes which I like. Sometimes you don't want to make the same thing over and over again although you like it the first time and the alternatives add a different twist. The cranberry scone was absolutely DELICIOUS!!!!

Breakfast gets even better!!!.......2001-05-08

This is a great baking book! Wonderful waffle recipes, the Hungarian Sour Cream Coffee Cake is great (my sister ate 1/2 in one sitting!), my husband loved the Fresh Apple Coffee Cake. I can't wait to try the lemon-poppyseed-saffron bread! I always test-cook from the library's copy before I buy. This is a cookbook worth buying for my collection. I also like the troubleshooting section in the beginning of the book.

Did Buffett write this?.......2006-10-15

I've read about 5 "Buffett" books and they ranged from utter garbage (the daughter-in-law books) to the mildly interesting. None really helped me invest better.

This book is different. I've read it probably 10 times now. Every chapter can change they way you think about investing.

The writing is clear and simple.

What follows is a totally groundless statement - i have zero evidence of this - but... the only other writer I know who writes so clearly on investment is Buffett himself, which leads me to suspect he may have been involved in the writing of this book ...or maybe Buffet is the real writer. (apologies to mr vick - take my comment as a compliment if you really did write this)

Even if Buffett isnt the real writer, my guess is that this is the book he would write.

It's my favourite book on investment. I have five or so copies at any one time and hand them out to friends who ask me for investment advise.

Misleads readers into thinking Buffett uses the exact method.......2005-02-20

I am an avid reader of Warren Buffett's writings, and I believe that Warren Buffett would disagree with many items in this book. For example, Warren Buffett previously described his method of discounting companies in other articles, and it does not match the author's description.

I can see how this book would be highly rated to someone not familiar with the details of Buffett's own articles and letters. But in my opinion, the book appears to only about 80% in agreement Buffett's previous writings. This book can give the reader a good overview of Warren Buffett's methods if they do not pay strict attention to the author's details.

Not the Buffet way..........2004-07-06

This is book says it about Buffet's way of picking stocks, but it is not. I'm sure Buffet would scream if he ever read this book. It not only isn't Buffet's strategy, it is bad advise too. Don't buy this book. If you've read it, disregard everything you learned before you lose money. Read Buffet or Graham and get it straight from the horse's mouth, and learn the intelligent way to pick stocks. This book stinks!

One of the worst books ever written on investing.......2004-04-27

1) The first quote on the back cover is from Mary Buffett. Mary's claim to fame is that she divorced Warren's son and then got into the investment book business. If you can't do that 'math' or you buy into the '*****' reviews for this book I've got a bridge I'd like to sell you. 2) Throw out the chapter on 'Warren on Arbitrage'. I've worked in equity arb. Most of this chapter is either outright false or highly misleading. 3) Entire sections of this book read as if they were excerpted from Hagstrom's or John Train's books. 4) The only reason I didn't give this book zero stars was it had some nice quips about value investing in general.

Winning with the Market, by Wall Street Journal editor and frequent TV financial commentator Douglas R. Sease, clearly presents a positive, no-nonsense investing approach that can be applied during any stage of life with as few expenses or associated time commitments as possible. In the first section, Sease explains why putting one's savings into stocks, bonds, and mutual funds is (and should remain) the best way to meet individual financial goals--and why stock index funds and inflation-indexed Treasury bonds are his vehicles of choice for doing so. In the second section he explains the concept of asset allocation--"a fancy term to describe the process of balancing your investment portfolio among cash, stocks, and bonds to suit your own lifestyle, your financial goals, and your tolerance for risk"--and outlines appropriate mixes for readers in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and, 60s. A final section recommends specific index funds that concentrate on U.S. or foreign stocks in various size and special-interest configurations, and provides locations where accounts can be created to buy Treasury bonds directly. Sease concedes that readers may not beat the market by following his advice, but these suggestions should allow the average investor to match it with relative ease. --Howard Rothman

Book Description

Say good-bye to expensive brokers! Forget gambling on their latest "hot stock," or their junk-bond or high-cost mutual funds recommendations. The results can be disastrous. Instead, veteran Wall Street Journal editor and CNBC commentator Douglas R. Sease shows you how to take back control of your money with a simple, safe, yet powerful investment program that can be tailored to your individual needs.

Writing with the solid backing of The Wall Street Journal, Doug Sease reminds us that many financial services providers try to make investing appear mysterious and difficult in order to justify their fees.

You can use a combination of inexpensive, easy-to-purchase investment vehicles -- stock-index mutual funds and inflation-indexed Treasury bonds -- to build a portfolio that will maximize your returns and minimize your risk. Combining a disciplined savings program with an equally disciplined investment program is a virtual guarantee of success. It puts more money into your investments instead of into Wall Street's pockets. Best of all, Sease shows how to make the most of your money at different stages of your working life.

Winning with the Market shows you how to make the most of you rmoney for a lifetime of successful, broker-free investing.

Download Description

The good news of the 1990s was that more individuals than ever before owned stocks, bonds and mutual funds, gaining a stake in a powerful U.S. economy. The bad news was that they were also bombarded by "get-rich-quick" sales pitches from the financial services industry, and tempted by the risks of online day trading and the latest IPO flavor-of-the-month. Now veteran Wall Street Journal editor Douglas Sease contends that the financial world strives to make investing appear mysterious and difficult, when in reality, it's all actually quite simple. His terrific new audiobook, Winning With the Market, explains how to build successful long-term portfolios without having to rely on expensive and unreliable advice from the so-called experts -- financial knowledge to help listeners thrive in today's unpredictable financial market.

The Market made easier...........2002-12-09

Sease seems to me like a man with a good head on his shoulders. He understands the market very well and simplifies it for the average investor. We are all looking to make more money while spending as little as possible and Sease's investment tips are a good start.

He spans the field of investing from those who are interested in high risk stocks to those who wish to invest there money more safely into money markets. The book has tips for every investor, which is both a good and a bad thing.

Sease focuses on a broad scope of savings and investment strategies for the person looking to explore the field. Being this broad, I do not recommend this book to those who look to dig up information on more specific types of investment strategies. There are various books out there to meet the needs of the more narrow investor, but Sease's book is focusing on the entire spectrum to inform his readers of the possiblities that are out there.

To be honest, I read this book for an economics class that I am taking, and initially I was not thrilled. In reading it, however, I have learned much more about the market and investing then I could have imagined. It is a stretch, but I may have even enjoyed the book from time to time.

I highly recommend this book for those who are looking to make the kind of retirement/nest egg/tuition money that they really dream of having. It will allow the average investor to jump into what can often be a very confusing and sometimes scary market. If nothing else you will understand the market better should you ever decide that you would like to try investing.

The Market made easier...........2002-12-09

How can I find another 2-8% of my income to invest.......2001-02-15

Douglas Sease's "Winning With The Market" is good stuff. He seems to have his head screwed on straight -- and his suggestions for how to navigate the shifting currents of the financial rivers seem sound.

The question is: without robbing a bank or playing the LOTTO, how can I find more money to invest wisely in order to really build up as large and secure a financial account as possible by the time I retire? It's a question that troubles me, and many people like me. I'm already trying to sock away as much as possible. I'd like to be socking away more. But how?

After you buy Sease's book, you might want to check out another book by a financial services CEO named Wade Dokken (of American Skandia, one of the fastest growing variable annuity and mutual fund companies). His new book is called "New Century, New Deal: How To Turn Your Wages Into Wealth Through Social Security Choice."

Dokken has a revolutionary premise: you already have more money with which you could invest for your retirement; the problem is that instead of using that money wisely and productively, you're sending it to Washington in the form of your Social Security taxes. Hmmm. Interesting. And frustrating.

But what if you could take 2%, or 4%, or eventually even 8% of the 12.4% you now send to the bureaucrats in Washington, and instead deposit that money in a personal retirement account conservatively invested in, say, stock mutual funds, or TIPS, for example?

In other words, what if you could apply Sease's sound investing advice with Dokken's revolutionary premise on how to scrape up more money to invest? Well, Dokken runs the numbers. They're astounding. You almost have to run them yourself, blink hard, and then run them again. But they're true: if you could invest 8% of your income (two-thirds of your Social Security taxes) in an IRA or 401(k)-like account you could retire with well over $1 million, possibly even more than $2 million. And even if Washington only created 2% accounts, you could still build up an account worth a quarter of million or more.

And the risk, over the long term, is minimal. Why? Partly because the markets have always grown 6-9% annually over the long haul. And partly because you'd be engaged in the ultimate act of dollar-cost-averaging. You'd be investing relatively small portions of money in equities out of each paycheck, every two weeks for the rest of your working life.

Sease is right -- invest what you have wisely and shrewdly.

But Dokken (interestingly enough, a lifelong Democrat) is also right -- turn up the heat on Washington for the freedom to invest more of YOUR OWN MONEY in your own personal retirement account.

Use Savings, Stocks, and Bonds to Meet Your Financial Goals.......2001-01-16

This book is an overview of simple ways to create investment income. As such, it is lacking in depth and documentation found in many narrower books. You will find that you will need to work with these more focused books in order to get the full benefit from this one. The main reason for reading this book is to consider the many sample portfolios for mixes of stocks and bonds for accomplishing financial goals at different ages, with different objectives, and with varying financial obligations.

"Do you want the stock market to go up or down?" Mr. Sease poses that question to help you decide if you are an investor or not. Investors want the market to go down so they can buy cheap. Those who are living from their investments or cashing them out want high prices, because they will be selling rather than buying in the future.

This book provides a good general overview of the role of savings, stocks, bonds, investment brokers, investment managers, financial advisors, mutual funds, public sources of information in helping you make money. Unlike many such books that then espouse one solution for all, the book segments its readers by age, financial obligations, and income to suggest different methods to be used to implement the book's ideas.

The book has a worthwhile goal: "to free you from the tyranny of the financial services industry and the wasted time spent chasing outsize returns . . . ." He has some candid views to share in this regard. "I don't like stockbrokers." He later clarifies this as the full-service stockbrokers.

Basically, Mr. Sease is an advocate of the efficient market hypothesis for financial securities. This means that most people will not be able to outperform the market averages. The track record of professional money managers certainly is consistent with this hypothesis. But you can match the averages cheaply by buying indexed, no-load mutual funds. Almost all of his portfolios have some of these in them. As you get closer to needing the money, he suggests putting money into bonds to protect your principal from the large fluctuations that stocks often experience. He also demonstrates the power of compounding to encourage you to save more and save sooner.

Despite the basic soundness of Mr. Sease's approach, the book itself does have some weaknesses that you should be aware of. Most of these weaknesses seem to relate to trying to cover too many subjects in one slim volume.

For example, the most important thing you can do to be more successful with your investing is to have written goals that you regularly review. These goals should include subjects like housing, education for your children, financial security for your family, long-term health care, and retirement. Some people will also want to include philanthropy and caring for other family members, including parents, siblings, and grandchildren. But that's up to you. Although the book does refer to goals, it does not begin to do so until the middle of the book and treats the goals as though you already have them. My experience in working with successful, educated, high-income people is that almost none of them have written financial goals that they review. For some ideas on how to do this, I suggest you review the excellent material in Charles Schwab's new book, You're 50 -- Now What?

Second, the subject of what you can expect from stocks and the case for indexed mutual funds is made much better than in this book by John Bogle in Common Sense About Mutual Funds. You should take a look at that book. You should also consider the new book, What if Boomers Can't Retire?, to understand the risk of common stocks failing to provide their historical returns in the future.

Also, financial investments are not the best way to build financial security. Books like Rich Dad, Poor Dad make the case for creating investments that generate cash from a young age. In most cases, these investments will either be real estate or businesses. These subjects deserve equal time in a book about investing, but are not considered in this one. In the new book, Rich Kid, Smart Kid, is a fascinating example of how a young man learned this lesson by his father refusing to buy the son a new set of golf clubs. In the process, the son learned how to start his own vending machine business, make investments for his own college education, and let his business pay for the golf clubs. That is a far more powerful paradigm than is presented here.

I agree in principle with almost everything said in this book, but I would not encourage most people to read the book until after they had read the other books I suggested. At that time, the reader will be ready for the sample portfolios in this book which present some interesting alternatives for getting good long-term returns from financial investing with acceptable risk for the timeframes involved.

After you have finished considering the model portfolios in this book, I suggest that you test them for risk by assuming that both the stock and bond markets perform as badly as they ever have in the past. Then look at what you projected returns look like. Imagine how you would feel if you experienced these returns. If you would be disgusted and unhappy, chances are that you are taking on too much risk.

Book Description

"Shackelford captures Jefferson's intellectual vitality, his cultured interests, and the esteem in which he was held by so many who came into contact with him... [His] splendid account of Jefferson abroad captures what he was truly about." -- Times Literary Supplement

"An intimate and richly detailed description of Jefferson's encounters with European culture... Shackelford's contribution to the study of Jefferson's intellect is as attractive as it is substantive in contributing to our understanding of Jefferson's intellect and the forces that shaped it." -- Georgia Historical Quarterly

"This is a beautiful book: graceful in prose and rich in illustrations." -- Journal of American History

During his time as minister to the court of Louis XVI, from 1784 to 1789, Thomas Jefferson became not only a friend of France but also the champion of European culture in the United States. Because the man who was to become America's third president learned so much from his five years abroad -- about the fine arts of architecture and painting and about the practical arts of agriculture, bureaucracy, and commerce -- his stay in Europe remains one of the most important of any American before or since. Illustrated with more than sixty images of the actual places the future president visited and described -- including both contemporary works and new photographs -- Jefferson's Travels in Europe is the first book to describe and explore the significance of Jefferson's European journey, detailing the sights he visited, the people he met, and the events he attended. Based on extensive research into Jefferson's account books and correspondence, as well as the experiences of other travelers of the day, George Green Shackelford connects Jefferson's journeys in France, England, Italy, the Netherlands, and the German Rhineland to his intellectual and aesthetic development.

"Immaculately researched, thoughtful, and persuasive... A valuable, handsomely produced book." -- Journal of the Early Republic

"An engaging account of important cultural landmarks in late eighteenth-century Europe and... a useful contribution to the literature on Thomas Jefferson, providing an insight into the private man and his wide circle of friends in Europe. It reminds us again of the vitality and comprehensiveness of Jefferson's interests." -- Journal of Southern History

"A meticulously researched and presented work that increases our knowledge of this period of Jefferson's life." -- William and Mary Quarterly

[original long copy]"While Americans generally still consider Thomas Jefferson to be a veritable Apostle of Americanism, it was his foreign residence and travels that made him America's most sophisticated national leader. To understand how Thomas Jefferson completed his metamorphosis from a talented provincial, it is necessary to reconstitute what he saw on his European journeys, to describe where he lived in Europe, and to speak of how his European friends influenced him."--George Green Shackelford, in Thomas Jefferson's Travels in Europe.

During his time as minister to the court of Louis XVI, from 1784 to 1789, Thomas Jefferson became not only a friend of France but also the champion of European culture in the United States. Because the man who was to become America's third president learned so much from his five years abroad--about the fine arts of architecture and painting and about the practical arts of agriculture, bureaucracy, and commerce--his stay in Europe remains one of the most important of any American before or since. In the first book to describe and explore the significance of Jefferson's European journey, George Green Shackelford offers the reader an intimate and richly detailed account of what Jefferson saw and how he saw it. In the process, he assesses the influence on Jefferson of such figures as the architect Charles Louis Clérisseau and the artist Maria Cosway.

Illustrated with more than sixty images of the actual places Jefferson visited and described--including both contemporary works and new photographs-- Jefferson's Travels in Europe shows how Jefferson's journeys in France, England, Italy, the Netherlands, and the German Rhineland shaped his intellectual and aesthetic development. Coaxing meaning out of Jefferson's account books and correspondence, and the parallel experiences of other travelers of the day, Shackelford has created a unique document, one that bears "a general resemblance to the book that Thomas Jefferson never wrote, his Notes on Europe."

Book Description

Acclaimed travel and adventure expert Anthony Brandt illuminates Jefferson’s inspiring voice, restless imagination and penetrating intelligence, drawing on his voluminous travel diaries and personal correspondence to reveal the man himself and the world in which he played such a vital role. Powerfully written in Jefferson’s own words, the book traces his journeys throughout Europe during his five-year residency in Paris, where he replaced Benjamin Franklin as U.S. Minister to France. His insightful, sophisticated impressions give readers a new perspective on European life in the 18th century.

Jefferson’s eloquent observations of his tours through southern France, northern Italy, Germany and Holland shed light on those places in history and deepen our understanding of one of the most progressive, cosmopolitan men of his age. He knew most of the leading lights of the liberal French aristocracy, which gave him a marvelous perch from which to watch the French Revolution begin. He conferred with the Marquis de Lafayette on the French Declaration of the Rights of Man.

The letters trace how Jefferson’s friendships with Adams and Abigail Adams developed; they reveal all that we really know of his love affair with the artist Maria Cosway; they show his interest in architecture developing and maturing, and they demonstrate his extraordinary skill in diplomacy. Brandt also addresses the question of whether Jefferson’s possible sexual relationship with Sally Hemings began in Paris. “This is a man whose mind grew wings,” Brandt writes, presenting Jefferson as a man no longer possible to idolize, but impossible not to like.

A Unique Perspective on Thomas Jefferson.......2006-08-04

As someone who has been reading about Thomas Jefferson for much of my life, and who has read many volumes of his correspondence, I find this selection of letters particularly impressive and illuminating. Anthony Brandt has chosen letters from Jefferson that let us see this man in all his complexity, showing us the statesman, the father, the friend, and the ever curious and discriminating traveler. But Brandt's judicious selection of letters to Jefferson from his large and varied circle make the portrait of this man and his time even more compelling. I am certain that this book will be indispensable for anyone who wishes to learn more about the endlessly fascinating Thomas Jefferson.

Customer Reviews:

Understanding is a major first step!.......2004-12-01

It's hard to "enjoy" a book on infertility. But it's obvious the Davises understand all the aspects and have interviewed many people in writing this book - they seem to be able to explain all the different issues involved in this anguishing experience.

Reading this book won't resolve your infertility, but it certainly will go a long way to help you cope with and understand this harrowing journey. Definitely recommended!

Thoughtfully written, touches your heart!.......2004-07-10

I found this book very helpful. Infertility is a lonely dis-ease to have. Reading the stories helps you feel less alone in your struggle. It is also very positive and encouraging about whatever outcome you choose/is chosen for you. And it's one of the few books that can be read by a couple that has tried everything but (for whatever reasons) decides/is forced to go child-free. Many other books end with the authors having a healthy baby, which can make you feel really left out if you and your partner are part of the percentage of people who don't.

Infertility's Anguish.......2004-06-02

Having experienced the pain of infertility, Dan and Jan Davis speak from the heart in this book as only they can do. It is apparent that the Davis' have resolved unselfishly to help others who are struggling with infertility and hope that this book will answer some of the questions, as well as serve as a good resource for these couples. I cannot imagine the pain, sorrow and anguish couples must face when they learn that conceiving and carrying a biological child is deemed impossible for them and not in their future. After reading this book, I can truly say I have a greater respect and sensitivity for childless couples everywhere.

Those who suffer with you.......2004-03-11

I am not infertile, but I know couples that are. I can tell you that this book has helped me to better understand their own personal struggle. It is difficult to relate to infertility issues when you have not experienced them for yourself. This book gives us a guide to a better understanding and compassion for those who know couples struggling with infertility. It is a well written and thought provoking book that I would reccommend to anyone.

Infertilitie's Anguish....Read All About It!!.......2004-02-12

Dan and Jan Davis have walked this road and are more than qualified to tell the story. A must read for the infertile and a must read for those who love someone who is infertile. I haven't read a publication that comes as close to the anguish that is felt living with an empty womb. The Davis's do a superb job of offering hope to the hopeless. Check it out for yourself.

Book Description

Following Congress's approval of the creation of the Shenandoah National Park in 1926, displaced Virginia mountain families wrote to U.S. government officials requesting various services, property, and harvested crops. The collection of 300 handwritten letters that resulted from this relocation reveals a complex dynamic between the people and the government and captures a moment in American history when the social, historical, and political climate was ripe for such uprooting. In The Anguish of Displacement: The Politics of Literacy in the Letters of Mountain Families in Shenandoah National Park, Katrina M. Powell explores the function of literacy as social and symbolic action and shows how these letters exposed multifaceted issues surrounding literacy, its use and disuse, and its power in documenting individual stories within the broader, overarching narratives about the Virginia landscape and the mountaineer.

Book Description

This book is an account of the experiences of an ordinary family who find themselves caught up in a living nightmare when the father of young children is arrested and forced to stand trial over serious sexual allegations. It is a cautionary tale of rough justice which warns how the accused in such a case often faces an automatic presumption of guilt. Yet this is a story of a family who have a firm belief that God is in control a God who has plans behind all the events of this world. In her sometimes harrowing account Melanie Metcalfe has much to say about how the family's faith was tested and strengthened through these events and is a startling testimony of faith through adversity.
