A Seience Expo Gold Mine or Just A Fun Project.......2000-10-19

McGowan's idiot-prof instructions proved themselves when me and some friends built this dinosaur in 7th grade. Although I am an avid model builder this was the first time I hade built a model made of things other than plastic. Surprizingly the chicken bones were easy to work with. We finished the model in about two months(working only one day a week). So if your looking to build an unusual model but this book!

What determines the number and size of the seeds produced by a plant? How often should it reproduce them? How often should a plant produce them? Why and how are seeds dispersed, and what are the implications for the diversity and composition of vegetation? These are just some of the questions tackled in this wide-ranging review of the role of seeds in the ecology of plants. The authors bring together information on the ecological aspects of seed biology, starting with a consideration of reproductive strategies in seed plants and progressing through the life cycle, covering seed maturation, dispersal, storage in the soil, dormancy, germination, seedling establishment, and regeneration in the field. The text encompasses a wide range of concepts of general relevance to plant ecology, reflecting the central role that the study of seed ecology has played in elucidating many fundamental aspects of plant community function.

Extremely disappointing.......2002-05-23

This book is far from complete. I was interested in finding out more information on full time employment opportunities for academic lecturers and professional experts on ships. This book is a guide on how to get free cruises by offering to lecture onboard. There is nothing in here that common sense would not dictate (if you know about a topic, then you can lecture about it ... seems self-evident to me!). The font is revealing ... GIGANTIC type which would qualify as large print by any standards. I have the impression that this is aimed at retirees hoping to get free travel. If you expect to get paid for your work, then this is not the book for you...I rate this the lowest possible rating, and that is too generous, especially considering that this is such a thin paperback with a steep ...price tag!

Exciting Book.......2000-04-07

Seminars At Sea is a very exciting book! The information I obtained was vital to plannig and fulfilling my dreams of working on a Greek Cruise Ship touring the Mediterranean Sea. Seminars At Sea prepared me for my journey--that traveled on three, five and seven day cruises to the Greek Islands, Egypt, Israel and Turkey.

I highly recommend Seminars At Sea for anyone who is thinking about working or traveling abroad! :)

The Complete Guide To Conducting Seminars at Sea.......2000-02-25

I found the book a really good 'source' as well as guide. The author has shared some good tips on the three ways to get aboard ships to lecture. I liked the REAL sample letters and photo gallery, that really helps paint the whole picture of what it is really like to seminar aboard the worlds luxury liners. As far as I know, this is the ONLY book of its kind out there. Thanks Amazon.com

Va-Voom!.......2007-07-05

I'd always been curious about this one, ever since the scene in the film The Impossible Years where the younger sister's eyes pop (along with her bubble gum bubble) as she reads it.

All I can say is, if you're looking for beautifully written erotica that stands up to the test of time (read: It'll turn on even us 21st century, uncensored folks), this is for you. Enjoy!

Realistic Morality.......2006-02-13

In this time of erotic fiction galore, where novels of sexual content line bookstore shelves, and purchasing one is as easy, common place, and unembarassing as picking up a bar of chocolate at a grocery store, the true significance of Fanny Hill may not be quite fully understood. The story documents a young girl's experiences following the untimely death of her parents, which leaves her in an adult situation at a tender age. Penniless and alone, she strives to locate a means of survival for one in her position, unexperienced in the world. Not surprisingly, and as the title proclaims, she becomes a woman of pleasure.

What is surprising, however, is the morality of the characters, how Cleland emphasizes their humanity and conscience, how he illustrates that their profession has no baring on their propensity for evil, provides no leniencey for a souless disposition. Cleland continuosly establishes this point throught the course of the novel, explaining, through Fanny, that courteseans and the like are regular people. That they work, eat, and play, just like everyone else. This is not necesssarly the main point of the novel, merely an important observation to remember with regards to the period the work was written. This perspective, in addition to the erotic material, must have clashed with the traditional, conservative beliefs of the time, been considered blasphemy. The author must have realized this, and knowing this fact while reading the material makes me have a bit more respect for the writer.

As for the rest, the memoir is privy to an extensive English vocabulary, and the choppy, comma-spliced sentences maintain a unique elegance in contrast with the regular style of uninform diction.

All in all, I found it a really stellar work, and picking it up I had pretty low expectations considering the basic story line, which serves as the framework for so many novels today. I actually wound up reading the entire work in one sitting, and finding it an enticing blend of romance and intrigue, action and realistic adventure, advancing the ideals of morality from a mature and logical standpoint.

Product Description

Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure, better known as Fanny Hill, is one of the most notorious texts in English literature. As recently as 1963 an unexpurgated edition was the subject of a trial, yet in the eighteenth century John Cleland's open celebration of sexual enjoyment was a best selling novel. Fanny's story, as she falls into prostitution and then rises to respectability, takes the form of a confession that is vividly coloured by copious and explicit physiological details of her carnal adventures. The moral outrage that this has always provoked has only recently been countered by serious critical appraisal.

Surprisingly modern, contemporary illustrations, .......2006-12-07

Surprisingly explicit book, John Cleland's book has been well illustrated with contemporary paintings, cartoons and sketches, such as Thomas Rowland, Hogarth and Francois Boucher

Fanny Hill is a clandestine classic, richly erotic, it tells the story of a young girl from the country who is drawn into the teeming underwold of eighteenth century London.

Always good-humoured Fanny makes the best of her fate and the story of her rise through harlotry to reiches and respectability is told with vigour and wit

John Cleland manages to bring Fanny Hill's London to life. Vivid and amusing and highly spiced, it is an entertinaing and readble - even at times romantic account.

It is surprisingly modern in its text. The interesting subtext to this is the surprising nature of its explicitness, quite unexpected for that age. The book, I think, has survived so long because it has a very sympathetic development of the character of Fanny, and despite being racy she has some depth of feeling. The language is also fairly easy reading, not steeped too far in the archaic.

Twenty-five years ago, it was a crime to sell Theodore Dreiser's An American Tragedy in Massachusetts, or Edmund Wilson's Memoirs of Hecate County in New York, or Lady Chatterley's Lover anywhere. Henry Miller's works could come into his native land only in the hands of smugglers.

The End of Obscenity describes the exciting trials of Lady Chatterly, Tropic of Cancer, and Fanny Hill, leading all the way to the Supreme Court, which cleared the way for their publication in this country. Charles Rembar's analysis of the legal background and strategy of each case is insightful and lucid. And the excerpts from the trial transcripts are often gripping, especially the excerpts from the expert witnesses who were called by the defense: Malcolm Cowley (who, in speaking of Lady Chatterley's Lover, said to a not particularly literary-minded examiner, "Sir, I will have to explain that the whole book is directed toward what doesn't happen in the book") and his fellow critics Eric Bentley, Alfred Kazin, and many others, joined by such political figures as Senator Edward Brooke, judges, postmasters and the writers themselves.

Rembar's book deals not with the why of obscenity laws but with the how, and as a result often has a freshness that little recent writing on this subject can match.
