Absolutely spectacular collection of photographs
Most of my several thousand volume library consists of serious books, works of literature, literary criticism, philosophy, history, theology, political science, and so on. But I also have a shelf or two devoted to "fun" books, books that I pick up and just lose myself in having fun. This is one of my favorite fun books. Not a masterpiece. Probably won't be in print twenty years from now. But the photographs are spectacular! And in just under 300 pages, almost every major city and structure of Europe has been photographed from the air. It is not merely the famous sights and buildings that makes this such a fun book, but some striking photographs of relatively unknown features. For instance, one of the most stunning photographs for me is what would appear to be a gigantic green field in Denmark that has been punctuated by a series of large housing circles, each cut off from one another, and each surrounded by the same green field.

The text has been provided by noted travel writer Jan Morris. The book is largely structured by starting with Italy and proceeding clockwise through the entire European continent, ending with Greece, Romania, and Turkey.

I really can whole heartedly recommend this book to anyone except those who don't like to look at anything. But if you have any interest in the world, in traveling, in Europe, in history, in photography, or in just having fun looking at awesome photos, this book will prove to be an utter delight.

Inexpensive Grandeur and Glory
I stumbled upon this title in a competitor's bookstore and was astonished that I hadn't read a review anywhere. With a 1998 imprint and Jan Morris as the author of the text, it doesn't seem like it should be an obscure tome, yet even here on Amazon.com, only one other person has reviewed it!

The photos are designed to provoke a sense of wonder and awe in the reader/viewer, and they succeed aesthetically, emotionally, and psychologically. From the rock of Gilbralter to a dense set of "potato row" houses in Copenhagen; from snowfields near the Arctic circle to Turkey--it's all here, images snapped from blimps, airplanes, helicopters, almost any method by which one might be "over" Europe.

One will not be able to glimpse most of these sites from comparable vantage points on a typical trek across the continent unless one plans to do so in a biplane. The images here are unusual in their breadth and majesty. ... The text is literate and fun. Buy it and marvel.

Not just another coffee table book!
If you regard this book as just another coffee table book you aren't even half right. This is one of the best photo books I have ever seen. The pictures are outstanding. Nearly every photo takes you to the alter of the church, the edge of the cliff, or the gate to the castle. Not only is it a photo book, but a great travel book. These aren't just descriptions of what to see, but beautiful pictures showing you what you will want to see when you get there. You won't even need to take a camera or change for postcards-- the best pictures are right here. Get this book before you plan your vacation to Europe.


Small Animal Clinical Nutrition
Published in Hardcover by Mark Morris Institute (1999)

Average review score:

Very technical but very useful.
The 4th edition of Small Animal Clinical Nutrition is significantly different from the first 3 editions -- expanded, more information, different editors, different organization, etc.

Much of this volume is more technical than the average reader wants or needs. It is a textbook used in veterinary schools. But a dedicated reader could gain much from it. Even the average reader could benefit from the chapters on commerical pet foods and on home prepared diets.

Contributions
Is good to see this book is not just written by nutriologist, there is an important contribution of clinicians dedicated to specific areas.

Review of Ambulatory Pediatrics
...Since 1968 the field of ambulatory (general or community)pediatrics has developed rapidly and today most pediatric departmentsin the United States have a large division of general pediatricsresponsible for patient care, teaching and research in all out-of-hospital settings. Such divisions are also responsible for the care of children with complex chronic diseases both in the hospital and the community.

Ambulatory Pediatrics has 81 chapters with 103 contributors from various American universities. The book is divided into four major sections: Child health in the 21st century, health promotion and disease prevention, management of disease and the practice of contextual and integrative child care. The new edition has undergone many changes with less duplication of topics from the more traditional pediatric textbooks. The focus in this edition is more on the clinician's role in health promotion, disease prevention, adaptation, early intervention, coordination of the care of children with chronic illnesses, diagnosis and treatment of children with psychosocial problems and the role of the family and the community in child health.

In Ambulatory Pediatrics you will find chapters on homeless children, maternal literacy, child labor, poverty, self-hypnosis, self-care and international health perspectives. In the section on health promotion you will find chapters on home visits, telephone care and computers in pediatrics. ...

Ambulatory Pediatrics is a book that can be warmly recommended to the pediatrician working in general pediatrics, the out-patient department and the community pediatrician.

Great book for family reading at Christmas
I have used this book for two years during Advent to read aloud to my family as we finish dinner. My 12 year-old at first thought it was silly, but she is always captivated by the stories. I like the blend of fiction, nonfiction, sentimental, and compelling selections. We have learned about Christmas for some Civil War soldiers, read some old classics such as The Gift of the Magi, and discovered some new authors we like. I highly recommend the book as a way to combat the secular focus of Christmas, without being preachy.

A great study of a great man
When Edgar Allen Poe died in Baltimore in l849, John G. Morris was already one of that city's prominent men. His "Lutherville Female Seminary," a pioneer educational insitution in this country exclusively for women, was to open just five years later.. As the Civil War loomed on the horizon, Morris was a Union man in a Southern city. He used to run to the train station to wave flags and shout "Hurrah" at Union troops passing through Maryland . A Lutheran Pastor and much more, Morris helped found Baltimore's world famous Peabody Institute and achieved world class recognition as an entomologist. Like many l9th century clergymen, he saw himself as a shaper of culture and destiny for his country and his city. His relationship with the Smithsonian Institute in Washington was just one of his many cultural and patriotic achievements. If "What is Past is Prologue," Dr. Kurtz has given us a valuable insight into 21st century America in his well-written biography of John G. Morris.


The Madison bombings : the story of one of the two largest vehicle-bombings ever

The History of Terror Begins Here
Michael Morris is a brilliant writer. The story he so adeptly captures here is one that should not be forgotten, and Mr. Morris's research was painstaking and thorough. I was 15 year old when I watched the firefighters extinguish the last of the blaze within the shattered Sterling Hall. In the aftermath of the bombing, the city of Madison and the whole of the anti-war movement in America were stunned. This book impressed me so much that I have written a screenplay based on it. I know from talking to several principal figures in the book that Michael Morris's work is respected highly. Read this book. You will not forget it.

What real scholarship should be
This is a brilliant example of good scholarship. The book is impeccably researched. Of course there are conclusions that are open to debate, but it is difficult to find an area where you could fault the writer's logic. This is the standard work on a very complex subject, and will likely remain so. If only every historian was so objective and paid so much attention to detail, think of how much we would discover. Maybe I'm being too naive.

An Inspiring Journey
When I'd finished reading "A Place called Wiregrass" and looked again at the editorial reviews on the cover I was surprised that no-one had commented on the strong message of faith portrayed in the story. Erma Lee Jacob's journey from the depths of despair to following God's call came slowly, honestly, sincerely and lovingly throughout the book. It
showed how much easier it was to live God's plan and not the world's plan for a happier life. It wasn't a sudden decision, but a long thought-provoking one and I enjoyed travelling along this spiritual path with Erma Lee.

Well done Michael Morris. You deserve recognition for this first novel beautifully written. I believe this book is so powerful that it can appeal to anyone -- regardless of individual spiritual beliefs.

A Must Read
A Place Called Wiregrass kept me captivated from cover to cover. It's rare to find a book you really can't put down. I was drawn into the life of Erma Lee by the strong story line, vivid imagery, and powerful language. Her journey from a destitute life to one of independence was very uplifting. The relationships she formed along the way were inspirational. I felt like I knew Erma Lee, Gerald, Cher, and Miss Claudia. I will definitely look for Michael Morris' next book.

An eloquent and moving story
A Place Called Wiregrass is a wonderful novel-- eloquently told, with empathetic and richly drawn characters. Erma Lee's voice is both provocative and powerful as she navigates through often difficult circumstances, along the way discovering the power of friendship, prayer and her own inner strength. Michael Morris is a compelling storyteller, and the book reads like the work of a seasoned author -- it's difficult to believe this is his first literary effort. In a nutshell, you'll be glad you took the time to visit a Place Called Wiregrass.
