May Sarton

W. W. Norton & Company, 1995

An Most Interesting Read
The House by the Sea: A Journal After Nelson, New Hampshire, Sarton sought what she thought would be a totally "different" life as far as neighbors, company and the like in York, Maine. She was in her mind seeking "personal space". In this succinct journal Ms. Sarton chronicles her "new home" and life in Maine with often great detail and a wide range of emotions.

Great Geological Controversies

A. Hallam

Oxford University Press, USA, 1990

LET THE DEBATES BEGIN
I have used this book in the past for my "Great Ideas in Geology" course and it remains a great read for anyone interested in geoscientific thought. Titanic intellectual battles are played out here as catastrophists clash with uniformitarians and neptunists, vulcanists and plutonists do battle. Hallam did, however, miss an important figure in the chapter on Ice Ages. Based on his geological ...

Catastrophes and Lesser Calamities: The Causes of Mass Extinctions

Tony Hallam

Oxford University Press, USA, 2005

Another Nail in the Coffin of Simplicity and Uniformitarianism
I guess this is a tough little book for some. Certainly other reviewers have said so. It's not mere armchair science or Discovery Channel drama. Rather it's a lucid and well supported statement of an hypothesis, that the five great extinction events at the ends of the Ordovician, Permian, Triassic, Cretaceous and Devonian epochs did not all have the same cause, nor did they all occur in the same ...

A Great Primer on Decorating
This is everything you might hope for in a basic decorating book. The first half is devoted to illustrating various styles of decorating and explaining how to make them work. The selection of motifs is quite eclectic (although not exhaustive) so there is something for everyone here. The remainder of the book discusses design elements such as colors, patterns, furnishings, window treatments, ...

As an Australian Home Renovator I'm always a little concerned about how relevant an American book will be to me. This book gave me no such concern.

Better Homes and Gardens, 1997

Great color pictures, current styles, some instructions.
I am a professional home-dec seamstress and use this book for client reference. The vivid pictures are of fully, beautifully decorated rooms in various styles. Many are easy to recreate. However, for those needing detailed instructions, you would need to find a pattern to recreate some of what you see in the book (like the valance on the cover). Good hints on choosing style, fabric, and on ...

Gods and Goddesses: A Treasury of Deities and Tales from World Mythology

1 review

Pub Overstock Unlimited Inc, 1996

Wonderfully articulated and beautifully illustrated.
The approach of this book is neither that of comparative religion nor a study of mythology; it is not written from the standpoint of any religion and, in keeping with modern scholarship, makes no value judgements.
