Book Description
The nineteenth century is central to contemporary discussions of visual culture. This reader brings together for the first time key writings about the period, exploring such topics as photographs, exhibitions and advertising. Suggesting that "modernity" rather than "modernism" is a valuable way of understanding the changes particular to the visual culture of the time, the editors investigate the variety of nineteenth-century images, technologies and visual experiences, stressing in particular the very consciousness of vision and visuality.
The reader begins with three specially written essays about definitions of visual culture as an object of study. "Genealogies" introduces key writings about culture from writers living in the nineteenth century itself or from those who scrutinized its visual culture from early in the twentieth century such as Walter Benjamin and Siegfried Kracauer. The remainder is organized around themes: technologies of vision, practices of display and the circulation of images, cities and the built environment, visual representations of the past, visual representations of categories of racial, sexual and social differences, and spatial configurations of inside and out, private and public. Selections include well-known authors and new research by younger scholars to produce a well-balanced and comprehensive collection.

Book Description
The Orchard is an exquisitely beautiful and poignant memoir of a young woman's single-handed struggle to save her New England farm in the depths of the Great Depression. Recently discovered by the author's daughter, it tells the story of Adele "Kitty" Robertson, young and energetic, but unprepared by her Radcliffe education for the rigors of apple farming in those bitter times. Alone at the end of a country road, with only a Great Dane for company, plagued by debts, broken machinery, and killing frosts, Kitty revives the old orchard after years of neglect. Every day is a struggle, but every day she is also rewarded by the beauty of the world and the unexpected kindness of neighbors and hired workers.
Animated by quiet courage and simple goodness, The Orchard stands as a deeply moving celebration of decency and beauty in the midst of grim prospects and crushing poverty.

the story of a tough, competent woman.......2007-07-18
My only complaint about this book is that it only covers two years of the author's life in detail. I hated for the book to end. I wish she had had time to write more, because she was an amazing person. Kitty's father, a doctor, raised his family in a colonial farmhouse by the ocean. Beginning in her childhood, he made Kitty learn to do a man's work in the orchard. He also gave her a series of boats to sail on the ocean. She loved the farm and the sea. She got a college education and a good job in a college museum, but gave it all up when her father died at the beginning of the depression. None of her brothers were willing to do the backbreaking labor to keep the heavily mortgaged farm working. Kitty quit her good job and immersed herself in running the orchard, which her father had always said would save the farm he loved. She lived alone except her beloved dog, with no money and little heat in the winter. Her own family seemed determined to see her fail. She found good, loyal friends though, and though her life was daunting, it was also full of the joy of nature and achievment. I can't praise this book enough.
"Hers was, above all, a working life...".......2005-12-14
In this extraordinary memoir from 1932-1934, Kitty Crockett Robertson describes her life on the North Shore of Massachusetts during the Depression, a time when she, a Harvard graduate, became a hard-working apple farmer to save the family farm in Ipswich. Her physician father had died, and Kitty, wanting to keep the farm from being sold for development, which her Boston-based brothers favored, decided to give up her job working at the Harvard Library to try to make the orchard profitable enough to save the land.
Working almost single-handedly, she spent the next two years doing all the dirty work, learning in the process that "The Depression was that time of leveling when she and her neighbors kept going on the strength they learned from each other." From her earliest days on the farm, she personally pruned trees, cleared land, repaired sprayers and tractors, gathered swarming bees into hives, hired five workers at twice the going rate (because they, too, needed to make ends meet), dealt with an arrogant banker anxious to foreclose, protected her apples at gunpoint when necessary, and then fought the weather, storms, and a December temperature drop to twenty degrees below zero in her efforts to bring the crop to market.
In the process she earned the love of her workers (who had regarded her, at first, as an idle "North Shore millionaire"), gave up everything in her personal life to devote herself completely to her task, worked up to 16 hours a day for two years during the apple and peach seasons, and gained new appreciation for the values she saw every day among her workers, the wholesaler who bought her drops and cider apples, and the purchasing agent of Harvard, who helped her make commercial connections to sell her crop.
Robertson, who became a newspaper and radio columnist in her later years, was a formidable writer who always recognized the values which unite people, regardless of their "class," and this quality pervades her personal memoir. Unfinished, because her life became too busy to finish it after 1934, it was discovered upon her death in 1979 by her daughter, and it is she who moves the story to its conclusion after 1934. Filled with personal detail and wonderful tributes to those who helped her, Robertson is never self-serving, readily admitting her weaknesses while stressing her efforts to succeed. A unique look at one farm and its history during the Depression, The Orchard is an extraordinary record of the times, written by a truly extraordinary woman. n Mary Whipple
The Orchard.......2002-09-18
This book was truly one of the most interesting and capturing books I have ever read. I felt like I was present in the story and now can't wait to go to Ipswich and see this old farm house.
If I could give this one Six Stars, I would!.......2002-02-06
The Orchard, a Memoir, is a great book. Last week I was on a long flight back to San Luis Obispo from Omaha and I had this book with me, a gift from my mom. I started reading it and totally forgot about the flight, never noticed the movie they were playing. A good number of times tears were just pouring down my face and I'd wipe them away, wondering if the people on the plane around me thought I was a bit crazy.
But I tell you, I'm crazy about this book! Honestly, I read a good deal and this is easily one of the most interesting, deepest, most powerful books I have read in years. Although true, a memoir, it reads just like a fine novel. I was so totally absorbed reading this rare gem of a find, that it was difficult to realize that the author had died some 20 years ago--she, Adele Crockett Robertson, seems so real, so full of life, so gutsy, so immediate.
Briefly, this is the story of a young girl, a smart, educated girl with a good head on her shoulders, who loses her job in the great Depression, and goes back to the family farm to try and save it from the bank. The many people in the book all come to life perfectly and there are surprises aplenty. I am a gardenwriter (author of Allergy-Free Gardening)and have farmed myself, and I appreciate what Adele went through. I would also add that this is no doubt the best picture of life during the Depression I've ever come across.
I plan to review this book every place that I can, because to my mind, this one is so good, so readable, so well worth reading, so enjoyable, so satisfying, that it completely deserves to be a best seller. Do yourself a favor and read this marvelous book!
"The Orchard" is a Marvelous Memoir.......2001-05-26
The late Adele Robertson's story of her attempt to save her family's property by establishing a commercially viable apple orchard during the Great Depression is a true gem. Robertson, who later went on to become an award-winning columnist for the Ipswich Chronicle, writes in a clear first-person voice. At times wildly humorous and often poignant, the story is superficially about growing and selling apples. What it is really about is self-reliance and courage. It is no wonder that so many New England high schools now include this book on their reading lists -- Robertson (with the help of her daughter Betsey, who retrieved and edited the manuscript after her mother's death) has produced a riveting work that speaks to a woman's need to "make it on her own" without ever preaching about it.

Morphophonemic Alterations.......2007-07-30
For us rednecks this word is way too big. But I can't think of what else to call it. Jeff Foxworthy's three Redneck Dictionaries are full of "morphophonemic alterations."
On the other hand, we don't need to actually know the techincal definition to enjoy them.

English Is No Longer The American Language: Humor At It's Best.......2007-01-19
I always knew that English was fading from the main language of the USA. Even though those who do speak English may becoming limited, each region speaks a different "version". My husband is from Kentucky. When we had foreign exchange students we would tell them that he spoke "hillbilly". If you like humor, Ron White, Larry The Cable Guy, Bill Engval, or the Blue Comedy Tour you will love this book!!! If you just like humor or the study of language, I believe you will find this book very entertaining.
Book Description
Clearly one redneck dictionary was not enough. And it’s no wonder. The South is positively bursting at the seams with colorful words and turns of phrases in this distinct dialect. Now men and women from all across this great land can further fine-tune their fluency and showcase their confidence when speaking to folks who hail from below the Mason-Dixon line. Need a crash course in this truly inspired lingo? Well, Jeff Foxworthy’s Redneck Dictionary II puts the “vern” in “vernacular,” offering up a veritable gumbo of must-be-known selections:
infamy (in’fe-mé) adv. and n. another person’s intent to exact physical punishment. “Ever since I stole his girlfriend, Bobby’s had it infamy.”
assassin (e-sas’-en) v. to disrespect verbally. “Don’t just stand there assassin me, boy–go clean your room!”
honor student (än’-er stu’-dent) prep. and n. to be positioned over, and supported by, a pupil. “Yeah, I knew piano lessons after midnight was weird, but I still didn’t suspect nothin’ till I caught her honor student.”
So open your ears and activate your funny bone with this hilarious, practical, and playfully illustrated reference. It’s like having your very own personal dialect coach–one who doesn’t mind getting picked up and read and laughed at and passed along to friends.

It is a great book for the person who likes "Blue Collar Comedy" or just a person looking for a good laugh anytime. Enjoy it, as they say, laughter is the best medicine!
Great bathroom book.......2007-01-10
Bought this book as a gift for my brother. He likes light and funny things to read at short periods. He thinks it is perfect. We enjoy all of Jeff's works.
"Dictionary" is a Laugh Riot.......2006-12-13
"Jeff Foxworthy's Redneck Dictionary II" is a follow-up to the original "Redneck Dictionary," featuring "more words you thought you knew the meaning of." In this you'll find words from "control" to "rectum," with zany definitions that only make sense when you consider what the words would be if spoken with a southern accent.
The book is truly laid out like a dictionary, with parts of speech and a pronunciation key. The parts of speech and pronunciation reflect the combined words that make up the new words. So if the word is "magistrate," then the phrase becomes "Madge is straight" and the part of speech is "noun and verb." And the pronunciations reflect how it would be pronunced in the "Southern, redneck style."
One funny example is "eyesore" as in "Back off, eyesore (I saw her) first." This dictionary comes with amusing illustrations. The one for geyser (guys are) shows two men in front of a geyser that's about to burst. And sometimes the example sentences are just plain clever --- i.e. "No offense, ma'am, but I'm putting up offense (a fence.)"
If this sort of humor fits the bill for you, then you'll love this. It may be "redneck," but it's actually very sophisticated and smart.

A bit to broad?.......2006-07-17
At first, I was very pleased with "Scoring for Pictures", but after having read the whole book I am somewhat disappointed. The book covers so many different aspects, ranging from composition and conducting an orchestra to setting up your studio, professional conduct and building a career, it's destined to be a bit shallow in each area. It certainly makes good points in each area, but I would prefer more depth in the areas specific to film scoring, and less "general advise".
Go for it ! A most awesome publication........2006-01-17
As a full time working film composer I am always trying to improve on my knowledge about the business as well as the technical aspects of this tough yet gratifying craft. Jeff Rona's Reel World is a great to read, Un-boring view into the world of the film composer. At many points I must confess, I couldn't let it go out of my hands. He uses many of his own case scenarios as a very active film composer to enlight us on a few lessons learned and succeeds on bringing on several points missed on most books if this genre. I had a Reel Blast. Either you are just jumping into this, or you have been on it and just want to make sure you are doing things right, this book is a must have, hats-off piece for your career.
Packed with Informational Goodness.......2002-10-25
Not much to say besides, I love this book. Had it not been so jammed with great info, I would have been more turned off by the typos and somewhat disjointed nature of the read. However, if you're trying to learn the basics of film and tv score, check it out.
The most well written book on the subject........2002-09-30
This book not only gives you the information you were after when you bought the book in the first place. It is also joy to read. There is a perfect balance between raw information, interviews with the biggies (John Williams, et cetera), and tips on how to think about film music. This is NOT just another fluff book that the author wrote simply because his last three scores were rejected and he needed the money. If you do not find this book to be incredibly helpful then you have either been making film music for 30 years already (even then I find it hard to believe that you didn't find it helpful), or you are just nutts!
A great book on getting started in film scoring!.......2002-04-02
Like many musicians, I have a great interest in film scores and, if it weren't so tough to make a good living at, I'd love to have pursued scoring to picture as a career. This book, however, is a great introduction to the world of film scores and covers all the bases at an introductory level. You'll learn about the business side (dealing with clients, sticky politics between directors and producers, etc), the technical side (the equipment you'll need, what it all does, etc), and the musical side (developing themes and so on). He also includes interviews with several other prominent film composers, which is great because he asks the questions other musicians would ask.
Rona's style is quite approachable, as evidenced by the column he's written for Keyboard magazine for years. In fact, my only criticism of the book might be that some of the chapters are taken directly from his past columns and the result is sometimes a choppy transition from one chapter to the next. Overall, though, that's a pretty small nit to pick about what is otherwise a great introduction to the world of film scoring.

A touching memoir of a loving marriage.......2004-11-01
Victoria Kamhi de Rodrigo writes a wonderful memoir of her life, starting with her childhood in Turkey, her meeting of Joaquin Rodrigo, and her marriage to Rodrigo. I think that it is safe to say that Victoria Kamhi de Rodrigo played a crucial role in her husband's later success as a composer. Those who love Rodrigo's music will grow in admiration for Rodrigo and his spouse. For those interested in the history of Spanish music, I reccommend this book highly.
A fascinating, well-described aspects of the Rodrigo's........1998-08-29
This book is a chronological document of the lives of the major representatives of Spain's classical musicians. It has been wrote by his wife, a virtuose of the piano as well, whom was the "eyes of the maestro" since he became blind at aged three. What is particularly important of this book for me is that it conducts the reader through their fascinating lives and leaves you thirsty in trying to know more about them and the maetro's musical production. It is a sensitive book, that describes with great modesty all the achievements of the maestro before and after the writting of his masterpiece: El concierto de Aranjuez.
Book Description
Monster Manual IV is the most recent volume in the best-selling Monster Manual line. Sure to be popular with both Dungeonmasters and players, this supplement to the D&D® game provides descriptions for a vast array of new creatures. Each monster is illustrated and utilizies a new statblock format that facilitates faster gameplay. In addition, each monster gets more pages than used in previous supplements to detail sample encounters and pregenerated treasure hordes. Also included are details on how to incorporate creatures in a
Forgotten Realms® or
Eberron® campaign. This product is tied to 2006’s Year of the Dragon theme, which will be the target of marketing from RPGs, novels, and miniatures brands.

More monsters than your adventurers can cleave..........2007-09-26
Of the additional MM supplements, this one is by far my favorite. As a DM who enjoys immersing my players into the eternal struggle between the evils of the dragon goddess Tiamat and those of the Good Dragon King Bahamut, the spawn of Tiamat are a frequently encountered enemy in my adventures. For those who are used to the format of previous editions, the monster statistics block had a slight change, but not to worry! Everything you need to know is still there. It took me some getting used to, but I think most DMs will find it convenient. Take advantage of the myriad creatures within, but be warned, there may be more monsters than your adventurers can cleave.
Too much wasted space.......2007-08-23
Although it has some interesting critters, I found the inclusion of so many NPCs a waste of space. NPCs like those presented here should be doled out on the web. The book should be all about new monsters, not modifications of existing monsters. It's not the worst book I've seen from Wizards of the Coast, but it's definately one of the worst.
I thought it was bad, but then it was invaluable!.......2007-07-18
In the beginning, after my original read of the MMIV, I had the same thoughts as many of the other reviews. The new stat blocks, being not like the old stat blocks, were a nusience to read. The extended information on ecology, encounters, knowledge, treasure, and whatnot, while kind of useful, sucked up space where more monsters could have been. And the endless inclusion of well-known monsters with class levels was just a waste of space. I mean, what DM worth their salt couldn't throw a few class levels on an orc or drow when they needed them?
And then there I was, ten minutes to my next session with a burning need to have a pair of lizardfolk barbarians fight my players. Yeah, I could have added some attack bonuses and whatnot on the fly, but then I realized, "Wait! I have the MMIV! That has more lizardfolk types than I could possibly need! And they're statistically correct!" Thusly, my game was saved.
Yes, any DM worth their salt can add a few class levels to monsters... if they have the time. For us more harried DMs, having pre-generated leveled monsters is a boon beyond reckoning. And the maps can be used over and over again. Certainly I've used a cavern map of mine at least four times with my current group. Each time it was the lair or corridor or ambush site of totally different creatures, and the group thought it cool each time. The geode caverns of the gnoll tribes could be used for any wilderness encounter, and etc.
The various encounter suggestions are excellent as well, as they occasionally provide ideas and adventure seeds. As I also play in the Realms and Eberron, suggestions for how monsters tie in to both places works on multiple levels, or can give people ideas on how monsters can fit into their own worlds.
As for the monsters themselves, I have to say I like 'em! I haven't had a chance to use a lot of them, because I have over a dozen monster books, and there's only so much death you can throw at your players in a single session. However, there were some excellent constructs, fey, and plants, always favorites of mine, in addition to some nasty oozes, elementals, and aberrations. I don't often use demons, devils, and various outsiders that often, so I can only say they look suitibly evil/good/neutral.
The reason this book gets three stars instead of higher, is that there are less monsters for the buck, even though what is there is perhaps more useful. Also, switching the format for the stat blocks makes me sad, as I have to constantly search for the information I used to be able to find in a snap. Yes, perhaps I will eventually get used to the new format, but right now it just drives me up the wall.
Monster Manual 4.......2007-05-13
This is the latest installment in the Monster Manual series. It is filled with new creatures and monsters and some that are revamped from earlier versions. Easy to use, nicely illustrated this book is worth the money spent. Having been a gamer for over twenty years, I have come to appreciate the way the newer books are laid out and illustrated. This book is a def. add to any gamers collection.
Lackluster monsters, poor layout.......2007-03-28
The 4th monster manual showcases Wizards' new 'encounter format' for monsters, and reflects a new philosophy on what a monster manual should contain. While some of the changes are helpful, the majority just pad what is otherwise a very thin and lackluster book. Here's the breakdown:
The good: Lore sections, so you know how difficult it is for your players to know something about the monsters. More robust ecology and society sections. A few gems like the joystealer, justice archon, and spawn of tiamat. As with all Wizards products, excellent artwork throughout.
The bad: It's 221 pages long, but only 145 of those actually contain new monsters. The rest are canned lairs (pretty, but otherwise useless) or rehashes of existing monsters with class levels (already done for you in the Dungeon Master's Guide). And even the new monsters are padded with large block quotes (distracting, not at all useful), large headlines and paragraphs for what should be single lines of text (the alignment and treasure entries) and descriptions on how the monsters fit with the Forgotten Realms and Eberron settings (which should be left to the respective setting books).
The new presentation for the actual monster statistics isn't my cup of tea, but that could just be a lack of familiarity - while the new layout is more compact (the only part of the book concerned with saving space) and breaking down statistics by use in the combat round seems like a good idea, the layout works better in published adventure stat blocks than as a stand-alone manual. Monster descriptions (what they actually look like) gets broken up into two sections, often on different pages, and listing things like damage reduction and resistances separate from special abilities makes it difficult to tell what makes a monster cool and different at a glance. Plus when you do figure out what the monsters do, they're often rather unimpressive, or of dubious balance.
The 2nd edition Monstrous Manual fit statistics, habitat, society, and ecology information, plus an illustration, all on a page or two. That was 14 years ago. In the Monster Manual IV the same information takes three or four pages. There are better ways to spend your money.

User Friendly Analysis in the Fastlane of American Politics.......2001-11-12
As an undergraduate political science major, I've learned that research on the institution and person of the President of the United States of America deals primarily with general theories of leadership and governing. Dr. Han narrows the field of research to the topic of White House communication-- specifically television-- strategies, beginning with Kennedy and ending with Clinton.
The book focuses on which strategies failed and which strategies succeeded, by examining the various media communication strategies applied by each administration towards their certain domestic policies. These case studies provide the reader with a look at the various consequences an administration must consider when "going public" with a policy. This book could be used in teaching mass media or political science.
