The French Chateau: Life, Style, Tradition

5 reviews
Christiane De Nicolay-Mazery

Thames & Hudson, 2001

A life to dream of
If you love French history, art, decoration and life style; if you have ever dreamed of living in a beautiful French chateau, you must get this book. Each time I open this book I am enchanted. What makes this book especially interesting is that people still live in these chateaus, these dreamscapes of tall Mansart roofs, formal French gardens and rooms filled with 18th century furniture. Forget ...

Versailles

7 reviews
Jean-Marie Perouse De Montclos

Abbeville Press, 1997

Really deserves 10 stars! However, I must warn you...
This is THE BEST book there is on Versailles (which is probably why its normally a hundred bucks!) There is only one problem I have ever had with the book and that is the poor physical quality. I had to order it twice because my first copy fell completely apart within a few weeks. Needless to say I was not happy at all when that happened. Every copy that I have seen (in libraries, other ...

William Maxwell

Library of America, 2008

On the centennial of William Maxwell’s birth, here is the second volume in a two- volume collected edition that reveals the full range of an extraordinary literary voice, a voice that John Updike has called “one of the wisest in American fiction . . . as well as one of the kindest.” In Later Novels and Stories , Maxwell deepens his connection to his signature subject matter even as he broadens his canvas. The Château (1961) describes the ...

Jesus after the Crucifixion: From Jerusalem to Rennes-le-Château

Graham Simmans

Bear & Company, 2007

The Real Da Vinci Code
This was a bombshell of a book -- it goes way beyond The da Vinci Code (book) and since I have personally investigated the Rennes-le-Chateau issue for several years, I was amazed at the accuracy of his info and also pleased that he didn't compromise the remaining secrets that need to be protected to this day. Eventually the Truth will come out, however, and this book will help prepare people to ...

Pauline Reage

Ballantine Books, 1995

This is ORIGINAL ending to The Story Of O; and more tidbits
The book was cut into two parts by the publisher withoutPauline Reage's knowledge. I have read several other reviews by otherreaders here on Amazon, and just wanted to add some info andimpressions. History-wise, "Reage" was a very well knownwoman, a feminist in France in the 50s. She died within the last tenyears. There is a full-length book interview with her that I own thatis out of print, ...

The concepts are explained in terms that are easy to understand and grasp. There are a variety of problems at the end of each chapter to reinforce the learning objectives. I would recommend this book to anybody who has little knowledge of accounting or ...

Holy Blood, Holy Grail

Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, ...

Dell, 2004

It's awesome
What an incredible book. Once you start reading it, you won't be able to set it down. The premise of this complex story is this- three different religions set out to discover the bloodline of Jesus and to accurately paint the picture of his life. With very little evidence this would prove a daunting task. While the book is controversial, it is all well written and a treat to have read. I even got ...

John Lidzey, Jill Mirza, ...

Barron''s Educational Series, 2002

Simple and Easy
Perhaps the bad review was because this book is simple, easy and uncomplicated, but that's why I like it. I have many books on color theory, color mixing, and color swatches, however I keep coming back to this little book with it's simple explanations for getting various color combinations. I don't have to read an encyclopedia on primary, secondary, tertiary colors or understand everything there ...

The Chateau

4 reviews
William Maxwell

Vintage, 1995

I wish I knew myself as well as William Maxwell does.
This book is not about a Chateau. It's not about France or about tourism. It's not travel writing and it certainly isn't "A Year in Provence". It is about being far from home. It's about being in a fascinating world you don't understand, and how you might interpret all that is in it. It's about how being in that world affects relationships with those you know well, and those you meet along the ...

Creating Applications with Mozilla

8 reviews
David Boswell, Brian King, ...

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2002

A very good book
This book gives a solid grounding in the principles involved and acts as a primer to the nitty gritty of producing a XUL application. In practice, XUL is pretty easy but it's easy to be caught unawares which is where a book like this comes in. If you've ever wondered how to extend Mozilla with a new button, or why your chrome doesn't work, or why Mozilla ignores it, or how to write a new chrome ...

A Beka Spanish 1a & 1b Por Todo El Mundo

1 review
Steven A. Guemann

A Beka Books, 1986

Excellent Book Series
I've had experience with both the text books and vocabulary manuels in the Por Todo el Mundo series. The vocabulary manuel is extremely exhaustive and the textbooks break up the lessons into nice, small, well explained sections that are easy for a beginning student to digest. I use these books to help tutor people in the Spanish language and find them to be most helpful for my cause.
