4 out of 5 stars The Heroic Age.......2000-01-11

Classical Architecture in Britain is a detailed insight in to British architecture, commencing with the works of Inigo Jones and finishing in the early nineteenth century. Arguably the most important period during British architecture, Worsley presents suprisingly novel sources and arguments. This book makes major advances upon the opinions laid down by earlier experts such as Downes, Summerson, Colvin and Pevsner providing a thoroughly modern analysis. Giles Worsley writes with fluid style making this book as equally understandable to the amateur as it is to the expert. Thus it is an enlightening read which I am sure will give many more great pleasure.

                                              To the surprise of many, the United States has emerged as a commercial source of what some gem experts consider the world's finest sapphire. Equally surprising is that the entire production of the gem comes from a little-known Montana mine named Yogo, which 60 years earlier had produced $25 million in fine-cut sapphires for the British. Yogo is a historical treasure, but the story of Yogo sapphires is really just a beginning, for only now are South American diamonds, Colombian emeralds, and Burmese rubies being belatedly joined by a native American precious gemstone that is every bit their equal the Montana sapphire. The colorful story of the Montana mine that produces the prized Yogo sapphires has been updated in this revised edition. Included is the demise of Intergem and the humble beginning of Vortex, Inc.

                                              This book is not a gemological type book. It is more of a history book with a lot of interesting Montana history. It is definately worth the read. Yogo Sapphires are beautiful gemstones. That's why we use them in our jewelry at forgetmenotjewelry.com.

                                              If you own a sapphire from Yogo Gulch, you own a piece of history, so you might as well know the whole story behind your stone and the mine it came from. Steve Voynick, a bona-fide hard-rock miner and talented writer, tells the whole Yogo story from Pig Eye Basin and J.P. Morgan to the present prospects for this century-old gemstone claim. Detail-rich photographs help you get a better picture of the people and the times. Western mining Americana at its finest

                                                  Book Description

                                                  Contrary to the thinking of some U.S. policymakers, changing macroeconomic conditions in the both the U.S. and Mexico have little effect on Mexican migration. This book evaluates the importance of family networks and human capital accumulation in the migration decisions of Mexican households.
                                                  Family networks substantially increase the likelihood that a Mexican head of household participates in the migration to the United States. The prior migration experience of close relatives and the presence of family and friends in the United States reduce migration costs and provide vital information about the migration process. Moreover, a head of household with a family network tends to be more transitory, spending shorter periods of time on both sides of the border. While in the United States, Mexican migrants may develop new talents and acquire valuable work experience, enabling them to secure higher wages in the Mexican labor market. To examine this largely unexplored topic, the book compares the monthly earnings in Mexico of persons with and without migration experience. U.S. experience is shown to have a powerful impact, with the first year yielding a six-percent increase in earnings. This return far exceeds that which results from an additional year of education or an additional year of work experience in Mexico. Thus the acquisition of human capital may be a powerful motive behind Mexico-U.S. migration, especially for younger Mexicans just entering the labor force.
