Book Description
Are you ready for the Cob Cottage? This is a building method so old and so simple that it has been all but forgotten in the rush to synthetics. A cob cottage,cobb, however, might be the ultimate expression of ecological design, a structure so attuned to its surroundings that its creators refer to it as "an ecstatic house."
The authors build a house the way others create a natural garden. They use the oldest, most available materials imaginableearth, clay, sand, straw, and waterand blend them to redefine the future (and past) of building. Cob (the word comes from an Old English root, meaning "lump") is a mixture of non-toxic, recyclable, and often free materials. Building with cob requires no forms, no cement, and no machinery of any kind. Builders actually sculpt their structures by hand.
Building with earth is nothing new to America; the oldest structures on the continent were built with adobe bricks. Adobe, however, has been geographically limited to the Southwest. The limits of cob are defined only by the builder's imagination.
Cob offers answers regarding our role in Nature, family and society, about why we feel the ways that we do, about what's missing in our lives. Cob comes as a revelation, a key to a saner world.
Cob has been a traditional building process for millennia in Europe, even in rainy and windy climates like the British Isles, where many cob buildings still serve as family homes after hundreds of years. The technique is newly arrived to the Americas, and, as with so many social trends, the early adopters are in the Pacific Northwest.
Cob houses (or cottages, since they are always efficiently small by American construction standards) are not only compatible with their surroundings, they ARE their surroundings, literally rising up from the earth. They are full of light, energy-efficient, and cozy, with curved walls and built-in, whimsical touches. They are delightful. They are ecstatic.

Practical, Comforting, and Fun.......2007-01-06
This book gives basic instructions on everything you need to know about cob home construction with many illustrations and a great set of glossy color photos in the middle of the book.
This book is great to read even if you never build a cob home because of the amount of information it contains that can be of use for any kind of house.
Also, the book walks the reader through several excercises that are meant to open up one's own innate creativity.
I really enjoyed the integration of spiritual philosophy into very practical instructions, it makes for a great balance.
I felt that the book was very fun to read and put me into a lighthearted mood.
The book also contains many references to other natural/alternative building techniques that can be employed instead of or in addition to cob.
Enjoy!
great book.......2007-01-04
great work on clay building, includes everything from history to philosophy to detailed practical building guidelines.
Christo.......2006-07-09
If there is one book that you need to read than this is it. Get your feet in the mud and find out who you really are. This book changed my life. Gave me the empowerment to throw off the chains of being dependent on paying alot of money for a basic need: good housing. Now I've embarked on a path of creativity, to build a house that is healthy, and will suit all my needs. My thanks are great!
Stunning AND the Absolute Last Word in Cob Info.......2006-03-23
I spent hours and hours with this beautiful and entertaining book, and I was only barely interested in Cob! This book is absolutely terrific, it is wonderfully and beautifully illustrated, includes color photos of some great cob houses, and is absolutely THE book you need if you want to learn about cob, or build your own cob structure. It is a wonderful balance of fun, personal stories, expertise, and technical info. (And really very inclusive too!) I read both Becky's and then this book. It really made me comfortable with cobbing because it is so well done, so inclusive and informative. A testimonial: Some time after reading this book over and over, we decided that cob was not appropriate for our site, and I STILL recently picked up this book for a good read!
Simply gorgeous!.......2005-09-23
First, it's fun just to browse through the gorgeous homes and creations in this book. Second, cob is well researched and documented here, for instance, did you know there are cob homes in Devonshire England that are over 400 years old? Third, this is a remarkably practical handbook for siting, designing, and building a home from cob.
On a practical note, you might want to start with a cob oven for practice. Kiko Denzer wrote a lovely book on the subject, "Building your own wood fired oven". Cob is incredibly fun to work with, but very, very labor intensive.
I really wish I could give this book six stars, because it's truly a fabulous and peerless manual for building with cob.
Buy it, you won't regret it a bit! It's a book you'll go back to again and again, and dream with on cold winter days.
Book Description
WHAT THE WATER GIVES ME (Booksurge; October 2002; $20.99) is the culmination of a decade of artistic collaboration between poet Marjory Wentworth and artist Mary Edna Fraser. This book represents their powerful fusion of visual and verbal communication. Side by side, the poems and the monotypes present an innovative approach to human and environmental concerns.
Book Description
In a unique photographic diary that spans nine years and several cities, photographer Reed Massengill has chronicled the coming of age of his model and friend Brian Hess, a very handsome and charismatic young man. Massengill began photographing Brian in 1992 in Knoxville, Tennessee, shortly after Brian's high school graduation. During the intervening years, as the photographer and model became friends, Massengill's portraits of Brian documented his radical physical transformation. His hair was bleached, shaved and re-grown several times. Tattoos, piercings and scarifications further adorned his body and dramatically altered his appearance from year to year. Massengill's portraits have ranged from pensive and introspective to playful and wildly erotic.

VERY INTERESTING.......2007-01-24
A GREAT suty beturn the work of the model and the photographer ... this is very well done
A MUST TO OWN
A Thing Of Beauty.......2004-08-18
Reed Massengill here has photographed a model named Brian for a nine-year period, from 1992 to 2000. A recent high school graduate, he must have been around 18 when the first photographs were shot. Over this time frame Brian changes, both in his body and facial features. Though by no means a gym bunny, he apparently worked out, developing more muscle, and also got heavy into body piercing and tattoos as well. He tried out a lot of different hair styles, growing longer hair, then getting bleached and buzzed. Some of the pictures are quite wonderful, many of them are very erotic, some are funny and a couple of them approach being silly. But the model always comes across as being alive and seems to be having a great time. This is obviously a collaboration. He gives as much to these photo sessions as the photographer does.
Mr. Massengill manages to shoot dozens of photos of this young man with practically no repetition, no small accomplishment. The artist says in the introduction to this book that he would like to photograph Brian for many years to come. It would be interesting to see what look he finally settles on and how both his body and face change with age. We can only hope that life with all its unknowns doesn't take the great zest for living that Brian has that is so obvious in these photos.
Beautiful Pictures and an Interesting Concept.......2002-10-01
I noticed this book the last few times I browsed through several book stores in my area. Each time it stood out as if trying to catch my attention. I finally gave in and went through the book, first looking through the pictures then reading the introduction explaining the concept of the book's meaning. I was amazed to discover that the photographs in the book were of the same person. Due to the extreme differences the model Brian had in appearance, I had assumed that the photographer Reed Massengill had simply decided on making a picture book on various young men all named Brian. This really impressed me as the book started out with a young, relatively clean-cut man who gradually alters his appearance with varying degrees of hair styles and a progression of tattoos and piercings. I think this book is a nice window into the life of a 20 something year old man going through many identity choices in the last decade of the 2000 millennium. Not a traditional coffee table book by any means, I think Brian: A Nine Year Photographic Diary is a nice concept book that should be appreciated for it's lensing of a person living through a specific point in history.
From Beauty to Beast - The Journey of a Man........2002-05-04
An interesting look at a person through the years - 9 years to be exact, in which the model morphs from a beautiful young man to an entirely different person - at least visually.
Although one of the thinner photo-essays, it should be in any shelf of serious collectors interested in the male physique.
great concept, poor execution.......2001-09-08
I purchased the book because I was intrigued by its underlying concept to photograph a young man over a period of several years. However, the photographs were amateurish and were more like black and white "snapshots" than photographs. Since Brian was clearly posing, I had difficulty classifying the collection as more than a handful of pictures of an attractive model over a 9 year time span. Since these years were from the late teen to the late 20s, either Brian's physical maturation was too subtle or the photographic skill was inadequate to demonstrate transformation. The marking of time became superficial aspects: hairstyle and color, tattoos, and body piercing. Actually, the photographic style changed more than the model. In summary, the best part of the book was the creative idea of a photographic essay of a man over a period of time. Nine years may have been an inadequate time period, but I would predict that without the photogenic quality of youth, the pictures would quickly become even less interesting given the skill of the photographer.
Book Description
SCION is the story of Ethan, youngest prince of an ancient empire locked in an uneasy truce with its eastern rivals. In an age in which ritual combat has taken the place of real war, Ethan prepares to mark his passage into manhood by participating in his first tournament. Then an incident occurs which changes his life forever - and leads to the first open warfare in generations. Young, headstrong, and somewhat naïve, Ethan embarks on a quest to avenge his brother's death that takes him deep into the heart of the Eastern lands. Scion takes place on a world with one foot in the past and one foot in the future, a planet where a medieval facade masks advanced science. Two kingdoms hold sway here, kingdoms that have been plunged back into warfare after centuries of tenuous peace. And caught between them is a young prince with a gift that could save his world or doom it. The war continues to rage in the latest Scion trade paperback. Ethan sees first-hand the sufferings of the genetically engineered Lesser Races and is forced to choose between his loyalty to his family and his loyalty to a greater good. His decision is not only unexpected, it may well determine the course of history for his entire world.
Fans of everything from Star Wars to the classic Prince Valiant Sunday strips will love Scion.

Why is my late father's excellent memoir languishing in obscurity?.......2007-08-30
I didn't know until this morning that Amazon sales ranks went as low as 5,100,000th. That is the rank assigned to my father's toothsome memoir, "Joyful Trek." Why a book this readable and informative should sink into those gloomy depths, I don't well understand. My dad, Robert H. Williams, was a West Texas farm boy who grew up to go to Harvard (all right, for only one semester, but that was on a graduate fellowship), to report for newspapers in Boston, Dallas, Denver, and elsewhere, to sail around the world as a radio operator in the Merchant Marine, to see combat in both world wars, and to invent a mailing machine and sell it for enough that he could finally return to Texas and be a rancher. His memoir is full of detailed and zestful stories. Here is a sample, set in 1921, when he was job-hunting in Galveston, Texas:
"Just about sundown, passing for the nth time a sign which said 'SEAMAN'S EMPLOYMENT BUREAU,' I stuck my head in the door. I did not especially want to go to sea, and how could there be a vacancy when hundreds of old seadogs were on the beach.
"A big man about fifty with bulging midsection was talking on the telephone. I presently got his drift: a ship was looking for a radio operator. I had little notion of the duties of a ship's radio operator and not the slightest knowledge of the kind of wireless equipment aboard a ship. I was, however, an expert with a key and had a fair knowledge of radio theory and of CW (continuous wave) equipment, meaning equipment using the then-new three-element vacuum tubes. The man on the telephone must have seen that I was listening with interest, and I mumbled, while he was talking, that I had been radio officer for the First Army Air Service. Instantly he said, 'Hold it! I've got you an operator.'
"I was flabbergasted. I tried to tell him that I had no idea what the job required, but he had already hung up. He was not even slightly concerned about my protest. He almost pushed me into a Cadillac parked at the curb and drove me round the bay to the waiting ship. He said he was port captain. As I kept trying to protest, he explained that the important thing to the ship's owners was to have on board a radio operator so the owners could get insurance. In view of my qualifications, for which he simply took my word, asking not a single question, they could sign me on temporarily without a license. That did not entirely satisfy me, but a job was a job. And the sudden vision of the kind of job it might be began to tantalize me."
I give "Joyful Trek" four stars instead of five lest my closeness to the author and his subjects might influence me. But I am sure that if I had never heard of Robert H. Williams I would find his book absorbing--a vivid account of an energetic and imaginative life that took in most of the twentieth century and a bit of the nineteenth.

Book Description
Rocco Pendola started his radio career when he was just thirteen, and ended it at age twenty-five. Now, at 27 and an Urban Studies major at San Francisco State University, Pendola reflects on his own personal process of growing up and turning into a more thoughtful adult. This straightforward, yet sensible work covers what has helped shape Pendola's life - everything from the condition of North America's urban environment to Canada's passion of hockey to Bruce Springsteen - each page is sure to relate as Pendola traces his transformation into a more critical thinker and observer of the world around him.

Rocco's gone loco........2006-03-26
Rocco got fired from the ticket and basically lost his mind.
This guy used to hack me off when he was on the radio, now I can hack him off....Hey Rocco, I live in a gated community and drive a Hummer. Oh, and I stole your book.
The Village Idiot Grows Up.......2005-05-02
One chapter isn't bad reading, if you're a Tickethead. The hockey stories are pretty interesting, also. Unfortunately, his ramblings about the environment are an all-too-painful reminder of the cluelessness that made his Dallas radio show unlistenable. Making a long story short, the village idiot may have grown up, but he didn't get any smarter.
Like The Beatles.......2002-09-18
I don't normally write reviews on here, but I thought that the last one was a little too harsh. There were a few typos in the book, yes, but the sentences were not necessarily run-ons. They were just more complex than I ever expected from the author.
This is not a masterpiece, but if you are a Tickethead, I suggest it. It gives a good behind the scenes look at the station and what happened when Rocco was let go. The urban and suburban stuff, while often rhetoric, is substantive and will either make you mad or grin in agreement. It is incoherent, but Rocco points that out himself. He apparently is going to offer a more focused book someday. Anyhow, I recommend it. And Rocco, I am glad you are doing well. You have kept enough of your abrasiveness to stay edgy, but lost enough of it to be entertaining and more than tolerable.
If you like typos and poor editing, this book is for you.......2002-09-17
I don't think anyone edited this book. After getting through all the misspelled words and run-on sentences, I was convinced that I had died and gone to reading hell. These weren't ramblings; these were incoherent thoughts and meaningless stories that were pretty unrelated. The only saving grace is that this guy's wheels are so far off, that you can't help but laugh at him.
Book Description
The popular view of the First World War remains that of 'Blackadder': incompetent generals sending brave soldiers to their deaths. Alan Clark quoted a German general's remark that the British soldiers were 'lions led by donkeys'. But he made it up. Indeed, many established 'facts' about 1914-18 turn out to be myths woven in the 1960s by young historians on the make. Gordon Corrigan's brilliant, witty new history reveals how out of touch we have become with the soldiers of 1914-18. They simply would not recognize the way their generation is depicted on TV or in Pat Barker's novels. Laced with dry humour, this will overturn everything you thought you knew about Britain and the First World War. Gordon Corrigan reveals how the British embraced technology, and developed the weapons and tactics to break through the enemy trenches.

Editor's Help Needed.......2006-11-23
Not what I expected. The book's subtitile promised it would "overturn everything you thought you knew about Britain and the First World War." Instead it was a poorly presented reposte to the criticism of the British army's actions in the war and its generals' ineptitude. An editor should have reorganized the book into a point-by-point discussion of "standard history" v. "reality" (as seen by the author), and cut down the size.
Dr Pangloss Does WWI.......2006-09-09
This book is a real treasure -- closely argued, well researched with the deft touch of a military man with a good grasp of his subject I was very favourably impressed with both his crisp writing style and his rather curmungeonly avuncular, slightly eccentric English grandfather-type of personality that wants to "sit you right down young man and sort you out."
For the moderately read scholar of WWI much of this book will not come as a surprise. Yes, amongst the masses it is a myth that British officers sat behind the lines sipping brandy whilst ordering working classes into the teeth of machine guns. Yes it is a myth for some that the American contribution was not significant or that the war was a just war.
For those people this book will be a good tonic and the cold salve for their gaping ignorance. But I think that this book was not written for the general reader having a first stab at the study of WWI. As the reviews below prove, those with considerable knowledge like the book... I liked it too. I wonder if it is because it pandered quite a bit to my personal tastes... and conservative sentiments.
After reading about half-way into the book I felt that it was starting to border more upon a polemical work, rather than an objective study.
- whatever Corrigan writes about there is no doubt that he is right. Corrigan is really loath to offer contrasting examples from very bone fide historians and where he does, such as in the case of citing Alan Clark as a non-historian, we can do nothing but agree. I could not help but leafing through Leon Wolff's "In Flander's Field" to convince myself that there was more going on between the miliary-politico machinations than Corrigan cites.
- almost all Generals seems to be either misunderstood -- really great minds that were doing the best they could under hard circumstances -- or were hobbled by the machinations of politicians. This is simplistic in the extreme, and Corrigan's stories are highly selective and slanted. It is also a easy target to round on Lloyd George, but quite another thing to question the motivations of certain members of Parliament (and while Churchill is criticised, Corrigan does not once mention his experience in the trenches and his willingness to pay for mistakes (even though they were not his).
- Corrigan does rightly state that the effects of Gas and Fire weapons and tanks were greatly exagerated. Despite their perceived horrible nature, few casualties were actually inflicted by these new weapons, and even fewer fatalities. But all horrors are not created equal, and his avering that the costliest battles for Britian and the Empire, the Somme and Passchendaele, were actually "great victories" stretches the definition of victory. There are many ways to critique these battles, but by merely portraying them as inevitable and really not all that bad, he risks throwing out the baby with the bath water. He does not mention the British Army Reports from the Battle of Loos in 1915 clearly stating that wire cannot only in the best of circumstance be cut with HE. My grandfather in the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery (seconded to the British Army at the beginning of the Somme) told me that it was common knowlege in the officer core that the wire had not been cut before July 01st. This is but one example of where clearly British commanders were playing fast and loose with soldiers lives and allowing themselves to get caught up in the inevitable nature of battle. In almost all cases, even where the allies knew the Germans expected the attack, the dice were always tossed. This must be an indictment of some commanders in the field and was what Lloyd George was precisely against(not that I want to go too far out on a limb for LG).
- there is also a lot missing here from the myths that I would like Corrigan to add in his next revision: Galliploi was a good idea. Using the Navy was Churchill's sound policy that was actually forcing the straits when politicians intervened and decided that ships were more valuable than men and embarked on the land campaign to capture the Dardenelles. Badly handled but sound strategy. Corrigan should explore this more fully (He might also want to take some wind out of the sails of the average Aussie who feels that Gallipoli was a purely Australian affair. They were a minor but significant partner with the British commiting almost 4 times the number of Australians and the French losses being marginally more than the Australians).
All in all, despite the fact that Corrigan is trying his damnest to copy Candide, I felt the book was a great and ripping read and give it my highest recommendation. That doesn't mean that it does not pander to preconceived notions, it just means that Corrigan does write well and tells his story even better -- and the best books are usually those with a few flaws.
The Great War revisited.......2005-11-05
Gordon Corrigan has written a vivid - and long overdue - historical work that has rolled a hand grenade of reality into the dugout of all our perceptions about trench warfare in World War I. Discarding the clichés of mud and blood of movies and novels of the period, this study explores the real world the British soldiers of November, 1918, would have recognized. High morale, advanced technology for the time, and a belief in victory flies in the face of conventional wisdom but Corrigan faithfully records it all, laced with a wicked wit. He then moves on to the anti-war movement that would, within a decade, portray the trench soldier as a hapless victim of immense folly, as "Journey's End," "Goodbye to All That" and the war poems entered the national consciousness. The British Tommy - and his 700,000 dead comrades - deserved better...and Corrigan does sterling work to redress the balance in this controversial and immensely readable history.
A Soldier's View.......2005-03-22
Only a soldier could have written this book. It is written with an understanding about the frictions of war. All too often, historians would discuss a war as if it was entirely an intellectual exercise with glaringly obvious choices that most of the time the people were involved were too stupid to choose. There was no regard for the necessities that are imposed by a multitude of factors like terrain, the state of technology, the army that you have, the enemy (yes! They don't always cooperate by being stupid enough to let you maneuvre past their flanks!), the weather, and just plain bad luck.
Mr Corrigan put up a well argued case that the British Army and its generals did all right given what they had to work with.
A point, however, which he did not make often enough, is that victory could only be bought with the blood of a country's soldiers. The more even matched an enemy is to one, the more likely that price will be high. If defeat is too horrible to contemplate (and Mr Corrigan make a good case for the necessity of war), then, unfortunately, the price might just have to be 700,000 deaths.
Two Cheers for WW I.......2004-07-19
You know the conventional wisdom. In World War I stupid and unimaginative generals sent hundreds of thousands of men to their deaths in parade-ground charges into the machine guns of the enemy. The common soldiers lived knee deep in mud in the trenches while just a few miles away prissy staff officers dined on white tablecloths and plotted the next ridiculous attack.
Au contraire regarding the British army says the author, a former British military officer -- and he says so vociferously. After the war, poets and biased historians gave a distorted picture of life in the trenches and created a myth of brutal, uncaring officers. The author marshals quite a few facts in support of his view. For example, he maintains that few British units spent more than three days at a time in the trenches and more that 4 or 5 days a month on the firing line. The mistakes of the British army were largely a result of the necessity of quickly building up a small pre-war army into a much larger one and the resultant inexperience of both officers and men. Contrary to the opprobrium usually poured on the head of British commander, Field Marshall Douglas Haig, the author finds him to be a man who did the best with what he had.
Corrigan has little use for British politicians. The Prime Minister Lloyd George comes across as meddling, dishonest, philandering obstacle to winning the war. Winston Churchill suffers from "flights of fancy." He likewise has little use for the French, especially after a soldier's mutiny in 1917 reduced the capability of the French army to defense only. He gives a nod of appreciation to the Americans, but "in 1918 it was the British army which made the major contribution to the defeat of the German army." Moreover, he claims that the British army of 1918 was a better army that Monty's in 1945.
Corrigan's view of World War I is so radically different from most other authors that I don't know how much credibility to give him. He makes a good case for his point of view. Still, the British had almost 700,000 soldiers killed in World War I out of a population of 45 million. The author points out that British losses were less than German and French losses -- but, anyway you look at it, 700,000 dead is a bloodbath and suggests that British strategy and tactics were hardly brilliant. I highly recommend this book as a well-argued, icon-breaking history of the British army in World War I.

FOR THOSE SEEKING THE META-PICTURE, CONNECTIONS, AND A FUTURE VISION, THIS IS IT!.......2005-12-15
Yvette Borcia and I review business books relating to our consulting practIce. But I had to tell you about Metaman, which I read a few years ago. It remains clear in my mind, as few books ever will. If you seek knowledge and true insight, Gregory Stock has written a book that I think you will love. I quote Stock in capturing a bit of the essence of this book: "An understanding of Metaman clarifies the fundamental dynamics shaping human society."
I own and cherish my copy, as I believe you will too. In fact I have two copies-one I read and robustly marked up, one in mint condition that I hold for the future. A book of this stature comes along only once in a very great while! Read and appreciate it.
good antidote to post-Sept 11.......2001-06-09
Well-researched, densely packed, but highly readable and completely free of academic jargon and New Age leaps of faith. I came away from the book a believer - optimistic for the very-long run, maybe not for us in the 21st century, but for those who will come later on. This is a good antidote to post-Sept 11, 2001 pessimism, but only if you take a long-view.
an elegant read, well researched.......1998-02-20
I couldn't be happier to have stumbled apon this book. The supporting documentation was wonderfully rich and complete and the book itself was both interesting and positive. Anyone interested in gaining perspective on their place in life or the directions in which change is pulling the world should give this a read.
