Poorly Written Ramblings of the Author.......2005-06-21

Not sure the editorial reviewers even read this book. It offers very little in the way of new thinking and is more of an attempt by the author to make himself sound more important and illustrate how great he thinks he is... I would not waste my time with the book or the author... I'm donating my copy to the library...

WOW!.......2004-05-28

Dr. Lusdkin's work on the web and learning is a tour de force by a master of the media and education. Rerely does one book combine insight crossing disciplines as does Dr. Luskin's. His Emmy award winning media work combined with a career as a leader in education make his perspective on the web and learning a must read for the serious educator wanting to deliver the best education and training in these electronic times.

The future of education and work training........2003-01-23

This book should be required reading for any person in charge of education or work training. It shows the future of how people will learn using the new and emerging technologies in the world today. I found the chapters on Corporate Universities very interesting, and was surprised at the number of corporations that now have their own "schools." Quite an interesting read!

A Must Read!.......2002-10-29

This book is a must read! Those interested in what digital networks can do (and are doing) to education will be fascinated by Dr. Luskin's conclusions. Perhaps the most important concept of the work is its straightforward title: "Global Learning." What the author correctly sees as the inevitable growth in the reach and ease of learning is flat-out heresy in some parts of the world. "E-learning" will surely penetrate more and more communities and change how vast numbers of people around the world think about themselves, their circumstances, and what to do about them. Without question, this is one of the basic discontents of Osama bin Laden and his ilk. Dr. Luskin must rate a very special place in terrorist hell for his vision of where education using modern technology will go over the next 25 years. This is a good book worth reading.

hydrophosphination.
An indispensable source for every researcher and practitioner of homogeneous catalysis as well as for all synthetic organic chemists in academia and industry.

Book Description

This book helps readers become intelligent consumers of the social/behavioral science literature and familiarizes them with the fundamental tools of research. It features a conceptual, intuitive approach that is less math-oriented (e.g., not cluttered with all sorts of sub-and superscripts, and not concerned with mathematical derivatives of the various statistics), and that clearly shows the continuity and interrelatedness of the techniques discussed. After the necessary concepts have been explained and the calculations have been performed for each statistic, the text walks readers through a line-by-line explanation of a computer printout (based on actual data) containing that statistic. "Practice Applications" provide research examples with step-by-step solutions to all statistical procedures. Describing Data. Central Tendency and Dispersion. Probability and the Normal Curve. The Sampling Distribution and Estimation Procedures. Hypothesis Testing: Interval/Ratio Data. Analysis of Variance. Hypothesis Testing with Categorical Data: Chi-Square. Measures of Association with Nominal and Ordinal Data. Elaboration and Causal Analysis. Bivariate Correlation and Regression. Multivariate Correlation and Regression. For anyone in the social/behavioral sciences who needs an accessible introduction to statistics.

The first full-length memoir published by an enlisted man in the Irish Brigade, from the Seven Day's Battles to the charge up Marye's Heights at Fredericksburg--a no-holds-barred firsthand account.

Customer Reviews:

Just what I needed.......2006-08-13

Doing research on the Irish Brigade for some writing, This book was just what I needed.

Outstanding!.......2004-02-12

William McCarter's book is quite an interesting tale of his involvment as a private for the famous Irish Brigade. McCarter's vivid descriptions of soldier life, marching, camping, facing cold weather, hard living and the Battle of Fredericksburg was very well done. McCarter missed Antietam although his regiment did face the Confederates at the heights of Fredericksburg. McCarter tells such a facinating, informative, sad, happy, yet chilling story at times during his soldier career that it was hard to put this book down. His vivid story of Fredericksburg and how the brigade battled it out, how he was injured and how he escaped death while suffering upon the battlefield was certainly the best part of the book. I wish more soldier accounts were written as well as this one as this book is one of the better books I've read that tells a soldier's story. 5 STARS!

An enlisted man's memoirs on the glorious Irish Brigade.......2001-03-15

William McCarter was a twenty-one year old Irish immigrant when he enlisted in the 116th Pennsylvania Infantry in August 1862. The unit soon became part of the Second Brigade, First Division, Second Corps, Army of the Potomac, better known as the fabled Irish Brigade and Carter's memoirs, "My Life in the Irish Brigade" has the distinction of being the first full-length memoir published by an enlisted man in the Irish Brigade. McCarter's account covers the brigade from the Seven Day's Battles in which it made its battlefield reputation, to its assault against the Bloody Lane at Antietam, to the charge up Marye's Heights at Fredericksburg where McCarter was gravely wounded and forced to leave the army. Because he was detailed as the personal scribe to General Thomas F. Meagher, commander of the Irish Brigade, McCarter was able to meet and judge the famous generals of the Union Army such as Ambrose Burnside and Winfield Scott Hancock. Kevin E. O'Brien, who has written widely on the Irish Brigade, edits the volume and in addition to his Endnotes he has included several interesting items in the Appendixes, such as the poem "The Irish Dead on Fredericksburg Heights" which was printed in the "Irish-American" in 1863. McCarter's recollections are quite engaging, and his description of the Brigade's actions at the fateful battle of Fredericksburg, where the vast majority of its 1,200 men were killed or wounded, is the best part of the book. If you have more than a passing familiarity with the history of the Irish Brigade, this is an excellent book to give you a unique and fascinating perspective on their glory days during the Civil War. It is also one of the better written memoirs, by enlisted man or general, you will find.

This was great reading!.......2000-02-21

The Civil War has always been of great interest to me. Consequently, when I find a book that tells of real-life experiences coming directly from the pen of the man who experienced the things he wrote about, I am automatically interested. Private McCarter wrote candidly of what he witnessed, felt and thought while in the Irish Brigade. His book is easy to understand and evokes vivid mental pictures of the scenes he describes. He seemed to be an educated, good-hearted man who, if he was alive today, I would love to meet.

Book Description

For seven generations the men of Duncan's family have fished in broad wooden boats off the coast of Newfoundland. But those days are over. The cod have disappeared from the North Atlantic, and the longliners no longer return with rich bounties from the sea. Many fishermen have left to find work. Duncan's father is trying to stay put, in the place where he and his family have lived forever... but time and money are running out. Will the family have to leave their home? Or is there another way--Duncan's way? Striking watercolors by Ian Wallace perfectly capture the rugged beauty of the North Atlantic coast. In equally deft strokes, his words chart the emotional journey of a boy and his family caught in a life crisis.

In this forceful, complex memoir, Wayne Johnston returns to the setting of his 1999 novel, The Colony of Unrequited Dreams. Johnston doesn't just come from Newfoundland, remotest of Canada's provinces; he comes from the Avalon Peninsula, the most isolated portion of Newfoundland (and confused in young Wayne's boyish imaginings with the mythical Avalon, where King Arthur sailed to be healed of mortal wounds). It's an apt metaphor for a land that "was the edge of the known world, and looked it." Avalon's natives fiercely resented the 1948 referendum that joined Newfoundland to the Canadian Confederation--especially Johnston's father, the memoir's central character, who keens for lost independence in a manner highly reminiscent of Stephen Dedalus's father in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. Indeed, parallels with Ireland are evident throughout, not just because the Johnstons are descended from Irish immigrants but because the Newfoundlanders exhibit a similar passionate insularity and zest for feuding among themselves. Johnston's muscular, plainspoken prose bears little resemblance to that of James Joyce, but his themes of exile and loss, loyalty and betrayal, and an ancient culture's ambivalent relationship with modernity resonate with the great writer's most urgent concerns. --Wendy Smith

Book Description

The acclaimed author of The Colony of Unrequited Dreams introduces us to the Johnstons of Newfoundland in an intimate, captivating memoir of three generations of fathers and sons.

The New York Times called Wayne Johnston's The Colony of Unrequited Dreams "an eventful, character-rich book...a brilliant and bravura literary performance."  His marvelous new memoir, Baltimore's Mansion, is equally impressive, filled with heart-stopping descriptions, a cast of stubborn, acerbic, yet entirely irresistible family members, and an evocation of time and place reminiscent of his best fiction.

Charlie Johnston is the famed blacksmith of Ferryland, a Catholic colony founded by Lord Baltimore in the 1620s on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland.  For his prowess at the forge, he is considered as necessary as a parish priest at local weddings.  But he must spend the first cold hours of every workday fishing at sea with his sons, one of whom, the author's father, Arthur, vows that as an adult he will never look to the sea for his livelihood.

In the heady months leading to the referendum that results in Newfoundland being "inducted" into Canada, Art leaves the island for college and an eventual career with Canadian Fisheries, studying and regulating a livelihood he and his father once pursued.  He parts on mysterious terms with Charlie, who dies while he's away, and Art is plunged into a lifelong battle with the personal demons that haunted the end of their relationship.  Years later, Wayne prepares to leave at the same age Art was when he said good-bye to Charlie, and old patterns threaten to repeat themselves.

At times a harrowing tale of trails in the darkness, of grand desolation and dangerous coasts, Baltimore's Mansion speaks to us all about the hardships, blessings, and power of family relationships, of leaving home and returning.

Customer Reviews:

Smashingly Good!.......2004-09-27

Any book that can make a reader who hales from the land of pleasant living (i.e., the mid-Atlantic region of the United States) seriously consider spending a winter in Newfoundland is clearly worth reading. Wayne Johnston once again manages to turn what most of us would consider a very dull subject (growing up in Newfoundland) into a minor masterpiece. If you enjoyed "Colony of Unrequited Dreams," you will be equally charmed, intrigued and entranced by "Baltimore's Mansion" but in a more personal -- and, perhaps, more meaningful -- way. I expect that if Mr. Johnston were from the USA, his books would stay at the top of the best seller lists. As it is, he remains a bit of a hidden treasure. Perhaps "Baltimore's Mansion" will help change the situation.

The Real Newfoundland.......2001-06-18

An elegy for a country, a place, and a family - which can describe much of Maritime Canadian writing, but Johnston is such a gifted writer this one really stands out. Read it for the description of the horse leading the way home in blinding snow, read it for story of blacksmithing, just read it. And if you like this, you'll love "the Danger Tree" by David MacFalane - a different part of Newfoundland, a different family, another incredible writer.

NOT FOR POSTING.......2000-09-08

Just wanted you to know that your review of this book has a factual inaccuracy.

The Avalon Peninsula ISN'T the most remote part of Newfoundland.Quite the opposite - its by far the most developed, densely populated part of the entire province. St. John's is on Avalon, as are most of the province's towns. Your reviewer was thinking of the Great Northern Peninsula (where Shipping News takes place) - although the most remote part of the province is certainly Northern Labrador.

Nationalism from Newfoundland.......2000-07-27

I don't know why I expected to read about the way of life in small Newfoundland communities, but I certainly didn't expect to read about the nationalist dreams of the people of the Avalon peninsula. This may be a good topic for a book, actually, but it would have to be better organized and more clear in its purpose than this aimless memoir. The main problem is that the author constantly laments Newfoundland's loss of independance, but never explains how or why Newfoundlanders would be better off as an independant country, or, failing that, why we should care.

A scary story about two girls

Out of the dark
Welwyn Wilton Katz
Manufacturer: Douglas & McIntyre
ProductGroup: Book
Binding: Unknown Binding

Book Description

After the violent death of Ben’s mother, his father moves the family from Florida to his boyhood home, a tiny village in Newfoundland. Ben hates it. Even the local accent is an obstacle. But when he discovers the remains of a Viking settlement, his imagination is ignited, and he finds a much-needed distraction from the unhappiness of his new life. In his elaborate fantasy world, he is Tor, a Viking shipbuilder. Through his daydreams, Ben is able to deal with suppressed feelings about his mother’s death. When he uses her wood-carving tools to craft a miniature Viking ship named Frances, after his mother, he unconsciously constructs the vehicle for the release of his crippling feelings of sadness and guilt. A compelling tale that mixes Viking lore with a contemporary story of loss, Out of the Dark is about a boy coming to terms with the death of his mother.

Customer Reviews:

Coming Out of the Fog.......2001-05-06

This is a parallel story of a boy named Ben and the struggles of Tor, Viking shipbuilder. Ben is recovering from the recent changes in life: death of his mother in a foggy parking lot in Florida and the recent move to dad's home in Newfoundland. The reader is intertwined in the two tales sometimes finding relevancy and at other times struggling to put the two together. I read through the story of the Vikings and concentrated on the story of Ben. An intriguing story that entices you into finding out what really happened on that foggy night in Florida.

Not fully developed.......1999-06-17

The writing is good and the story is strong, but the connection between Ben and Tor is not fully explained, and the reader is never exactly sure whether Tor existed. There are some passages where "the game seems to be getting too real", and these are never elaborated on. I was disappointed because the plot summary on the back cover made me think this was going to be more of a psychic/fantasy/ghost story; instead, it's realistic fiction about a boy who just happens to imagine that he is a Viking sometimes. If that's what you want, then read this book, but if you're looking for a fantasy look elsewhere.

A scary story about two girls.......1999-04-01

Out of the Dark, by Betty Ren Wright she wrote a book about a, girl named Jesse who moves into a house which her grandmother used to live in. Jesse finds a diary in her grandmother Ôs house. Jesse finds out all about her grandmotherÕs house. This book is about a mystery and also about ghost, it is good for teachers and students who like scary and mystery books. The author, Betty Ren Wright decided that at age 7 she wanted to become an author. After graduating in 1949, she became a editorial teacher. Gradually she became into liking children books. She soon got married and had children then gradually,she also became a grandmother. One reason why people would like this book is because it was easy, and also I love mystery books. A really good scene was when a ghost was trying to let her fall, when she fell down she saw a ghost looking at her face. Another reason why readers enjoy this this book is because itÕs scary and I like scary books.
