Another Alice Adams ClassicThis is another one of Ms. Adams collections of short stories. Like the others it refers back to some of the characters in other books (like Popsie). Ms. Adams is so excellent in her description one can almost feel the fog roll into the San Francisco bay as the stories are read. The stories of how children are affected as adults by their parents alcoholism were my favorites in this collection.

Ha Ha Ha Yikes!Ms. Adams has spun an intricate little yarn that just might be plausible. I mean, the folks I come across in Jesus Creek seem just odd enough to be real, or maybe her storytelling weaves me in that closely. At any rate this is a fine little whodunit with just the right air of creepiness that again I think, Could it be? This ain't blood and guts and hatchets and forensics... this is ole Reb Gassler, finishing his pecan pie, beginning a cigarette and just kinda having a talk with the good Doctor. Or is he? Oooooooo.

Deborah Does it againHaving read all of Deborah's other books, I had some idea of what to expect and was NOT disappointed. The characters in the present and the past were both animated and interesting. They were funny while still being realistic. Whatever subject Deobrah is enthused about at the moment (This time it was genealogy.) always comes through in her books. When she was into endurance riding, the book was horsey. Now she traces the ancestors of Jesse James-and gives some websites to start you tracing your own family. The only criticism I have is that the plot was a little light and plagued with coincedences, but youll never notice that while you're reading it. Just go with the flow and enjoy!
And where were you, Adam?

<P>An excellent book that places responsibility for WWIIThis book is an excellent mind game. Boll uses many subtle tools to focus blame on the entire German populace for the events of World War II. One of the major devices used contrasting irony. Boll places occurrences of totally different perspective next to each other in order to draw out the idiocy of the German soldier. One of the examples I can remember deals with the relationships throughout the book. Every time a soldier wants to have a relationship with a female (a very ordered and structured type of arrangement) there is always some sort of disorderly thing going on in the background part of the story. The soldiers never question the war, but always takes the failed relationship at face value.
One other subtle and enjoyable aspect of the novel is the way Boll interconnects all occurrences. Throughout the novel objects appear in multiple places. One may think that it is just coincidence. Looking deeper it is more than that. A table gets a cigarette burn on it early in the novel. Several chapters later the exact table (Boll points out the cigarette burn) shows up in different locations even after it has been destroyed. This is only one example of many that make the book an enjoyable novel to read.
I do have to admit that the story is slow going at first, but don't give up on it. It is full of subtle irony, and subtle blame of responsibility that takes close reading and following of the story.

Installation Note for Windows 98 (and possibly higher) UsersYou're not buying just a screen saver here. This CD includes 38 .jpg images of Ansel Adams photos which, in addition to being used as screensavers, can be nicely viewed with a good viewer, such as Kodak Imaging which can also print them to a good-quality inkjet printer.
The Instruction Booklet does not cover Windows 98 installation, but I successfully installed by selecting my CD drive in Windows Explorer and double-clicking on Install.exe.
You can also copy the CD to your hard drive (about 20 MB), as I did, and run Install.exe from there. BUT, first, right-click on the HD copy of A_adams.ini, select Properties and, if the Read-only attribute is checked, uncheck it and left-click Apply. Until I did this, the installation appeared to succeed but didn't: when run from Control Panel/Display/Screen Saver, the screen saver aborted with a no-JPGs-found message. (This is because the install failed to update the \Windows\A_adams.ini file.)
Enjoy!

peeking into a part of his lifePouring over letters to and from Ansel Adams brings you closer to the photographer. From a telegram to his father in 1920 asking for $20.00 to buy a burro (and letting him know that he'd sell it at the end of the season for $10.00) to touching letters to his wife over the years. His descriptions of nature are as wonderful as his photographs. He writes to US presidents, newspaper editors,friends, family and more. You see the scope, imagination,and honesty of a man and a fantastic photographer.
You laugh,cry and share the man; Ansel Adams. Interesting personal photographs in the book also.

Seeing an important Renaissance architect at workAntonio da Sangallo the Younger was one of the most important architects of the Renaissance during the first half of the 16th century in Italy. A few of his buildings belong to the guiding examples of public and private architecture. Overshadowed by better known artists like Bramante or Michelangelo, his reputation among his contemporaries was as least as high as that of those. But he is also the one architect by whom survived more drawings than of any other one of that time (and even of later times). The long-prepaired edition of these drawings - from the collection of the Florentine Uffizi - is a milestone not only in architectural history, but also in editing important art historical material at all. A group of famous and highly-skilled architectural historians made this work available with a lot of deep-going contributions to the analysis of the drawings. So, reading comments about fortresses, machines and other buildings normally not thought of to be of great interest at all, lets one understand how an architect with great skill and experience (and a large group of collaborators) managed "his job". In fact, Sangallo seems to be the first architect in European history, who organized his work in a way very close to the one still used today: the architect gives ideas to further development to his collaborators, corrects their contributions and organizes the whole work of the "studio" rather than doing everything himself - as others did at the same time. I think, one can not only learn a lot about a special architect in a special time from this book, but also, how architectural invention and execution was organized in the renaissance (and from then on). The detailed analytic descriptions of the drawings sometimes even read like a step-by-step solution of complicated riddles, and it's interesting to follow the discussion of such a complicated matter. If you are interested in architecture or art history, this book is a must!

Assessing Infants and Preschoolers with Special NeedsThis text is a timely and insightful work. The authors give a good overview of the major assessment instruments used in Early Intervention and Early Childhood Special Education. Procedural guidelines, cultural validity and family concerns are also discussed. I found that the book is a great reference tool to go back to when questions arise! I would recommend this book to anyone working in the field of Special Education.
