I am sure you are aware of this - but this is the original title of A Promising Man ... and About Time - or something like that. Fun read.

The Art of the Story and Stories of Art
This is a great book to assure the reader of the goodness, creativity and love for neighbors that can be found in the human heart. The organizations and individual artists who dreamed up these projects are inspirational examples of art at its best and most practical, as a tool for healing and uniting communities. It is a really beautifully made book of inspirational and well-told stories.

This one's a winner
I've read all of Elizabeth Young's books and, like the others, I thought this one was fantastic. I think she's a fabulous author. First of all, she tells a great story with lots of excitement, romance, and vivid descriptions that make you feel that you're part of the scene. She has a knack for sharing the insightful thoughts and feelings of the main character, Izzy, that make you feel like ...

Fun British "chic lit"
When I want a fun, easy reads for nothing more then entertainment value I look for Brit authors and head straight for the chic lit. This book didn't let me down. Classic story line - single career girl who's mother wants her married, younger sister getting married first, must find date for the wedding. If you loved Bridget Jones you'll definitely have a soft spot for Sophy Metcalfe. She's ...

A humorous read
The Princess and the PMS provides a funny, light read on a day you don't want to do much other than lay on the couch with your feet elevated. Although most of the information was not new to me, it is presented in a light hearted way that may take our minds off of our cramps and ease our latest moodswing a bit. I also enjoyed the flipside of the book (which I thought was a great idea), The Prince ...

On Colfax Avenue: A Victorian Childhood (Colorado History)
Elizabeth Young,
Cade Nethercott
Colorado Historical Society
, 2004
"Everyone was moving to Denver, which was mushrooming all over the prairie and giving every evidence of becoming a metropolis of real proportion" -- so recalls Elizabeth Young of her childhood on Colfax Avenue. Her youth ran parallel to that of her hometown: she grew up in the 1890s in the midst of Denver's rapid metamorphosis from frontier town to modern city. Young's memoir provides vivid glimpses of the people and events of this heady era, ...

Reflections
This book is a vital tool in the education of young children. It looks at multiple aspects of development from real teachers' experiences. The idea of reflecting on thoughts is not new, though this book gives a new perspective on it's benefits. Reflection is one of the most successful ways to retain information, and helps the child and teacher to appreciate what they have both learned.
Black Frankenstein: The Making of an American Metaphor (America and the Long 19th Century)
Elizabeth Young
NYU Press
, 2008
For all the scholarship devoted to Mary Shelley's English novel Frankenstein , there has been surprisingly little attention paid to its role in American culture, and virtually none to its racial resonances in the United States. In Black Frankenstein , Elizabeth Young identifies and interprets the figure of a black American Frankenstein monster as it appears with surprising frequency throughout nineteenth- and twentieth-century U.S. culture, in ...

This book's a work of genius
Trust me on this: if you care about books, this is one you absolutely must read. Elizabeth Young has a stupendous prose style, a sinuous & interesting taste and a way of hooking you from page 1. I only heard about this because someone I know at Serpent's Tail gave me a copy, but it's a crime this book isn't better known in the USA. I am about to buy several copies so that I can give them away ...

NOT RECOMMENDED
The information in this book more basic than I had expected. The quality of the paper and the printing is also very cheap. This book is definitely not worth the price I paid.

University of California Press
, 2008
Soon after Alexander Gardner's Photographic Sketch Book was published, in 1866, it became the Civil War's best-known visual record and helped define how viewers, then and in subsequent generations, would come to know the war. Gardner's classic also became foundational in the history of American photography, combining, for the first time, words and images in a sophisticated and moving account. This book, written by the art historian Anthony W. ...
