a great book.......2007-05-28
Simply put: I checked it out from the library so often it got embarassing! Time to buy the book. It is well written, informative, and the pictures inspire.
Sheer Inspiration.......2007-03-15
BEAUTIFUL pictures of projects in asst stages of completion. Great info on building stone projects that will stand the test of time. Even if I can't replicate the exact project, I now have confidence that I can take these ideas and cater them to our environment.
Excellent resource for stone projects.......2002-11-29
Of the half-dozen books I bought to help me with a stone project (old fallen-down stone walls recycled into a new retaining wall) this is the one I look at over and over. The first part of the book, under the heading Inspiring Uses for Stone, is exactly that: a group of beautiful pictures that can set your imagination running. The second part, Working with Stone in the Garden, brings you back to earth with the how-to of stonework. (The second half also includes a nice selection of full-color photos to keep your inspiration going.)
Like John Vivian's Building Stone Walls and Kevin Gardner's The Granite Kiss, Hayward's Stone in the Garden has clear and concise instructions. And, like David Reed's Stonescaping, he includes extras like stone under foot, pools and fountains, and stone sculpture. In addition, he includes some interesting (and helpful) extras such as plant selection for stone-walls or near stone pools and descriptions with photographs of the many kinds of stone availble in the US. (This is something that did not appear in any of the other stone how-to books I bought.)
As with Reed's Stonescaping, Stone in the Garden is just too pretty to take to the garden when you're working on your project. No matter how careful you are, when you're in the midst of digging or lifting stone, it's too easy to smear mud on your instructions. The easy solution is to photocopy the necessary pages to take to the project site for reference.
So many fantastic ideas and photos!.......2002-08-01
Twice now, I have gone to the bookstore to find a book on a specific topic. Both times I found a book by Hayward to be the book I had been looking for. This time I was looking for using Stone features in my landscaping. Since I had such a great use for his book on paths I picked up his book right away. I could not put it down and was up all night browsing the book from cover to cover. The photos are very useful and inspiring. His descriptions of how-tos, dos and don'ts were especially helpful. I have to give this author a lot of credit for helping us to improve our landscaping to look professional. I had a contractor ask me if I would lay stone for his wife's pond a few days ago - thank you Mr. Hayward!
No stone unturned............2001-10-04
My parents used stone in a variety of ways in their gardens. My father laid out walkways and patios using blue flagstone and built an outdoor grill (chimney and all) of field stones he collected on his travels through the mountains where we lived. He lined the ravine behind our house where the grill was situated with stones, including a series of stone steps down into the ravine. The banks of the ravine became a rock garden loaded with all sorts of bulbs, ground covers, ferns and low shubs, and small trees overhung with larger trees above.
I had not thought about my father's handiwork in many years, not until I bought STONE IN THE GARDEN by Gordon Hayward. Hayward's book is absolutely lovely, and even if you never build a thing using stone you will enjoy all the wonderful photographs he has included in his book showing stonework he found in the gardens of folks like Frederick McGourty, Tasha Tudor, and a host of other garden writers and enthusiasts. He has captured shots of gardens from Japan to England, France to Canada, and New England to the American Southwest.
Stones frequently form the basis of the "bones" of the garden -- structures that every good gardener incorporates. While fences and arbors and other structures can be made of wood, stone also fills a niche and is frequently a more appealing, practical, and long-lasting material. Hayward's book includes numerous ideas for using stone. Chapters cover garden walls and retaining walls, walkways, ponds, streams, outdoor areas with stone benches designed for contemplation, rock gardens, rock sculpture, and many other features.
A third of Hayward's book covers a series of step-by-step procedures for constructing walkways, walls, ponds and pools, and other useful structures. One of my favorite constucts is the stile which consists of a stone composition built into a wall that allows one to walk over the wall and thus eliminate the need for a gate. Most gardeners are sure to pick up a few good ideas they will want to try.

If your a beginner..........2007-05-20
If your a beginner then I think you'll like this book. I was looking for a book that could explain color and give advice about what size a mat should be. I found it in this book. Written very clearly with many pictures or illustrations.
Adding some more body.......2007-01-10
After reading the many reviews I purchased the book. I found it worth the money I spent as it reviewed most topics with Matting, Mounting and somewhat a little short on the framing. Would have given five stars if the discussion on making the framing was a little more discussed.
I did purchase the Logan CD on making your own picture frames, promptly returned it as there was more in the book on making picture frames.
Excellent book: my top pick.......2006-05-08
I have been doing amateur framing for about seven years, and have read a lot of framing books. This book is (easily and definitely) my pick as the best book for beginning (and more experienced) amateur picture framers. What I liked about the book: * lots of helpful colourful photos; * easy to read text: * shows that you don't have to spend a lot of money to get into this hobby / profession and produce excellent results; * covers many useful topics without getting into the more advanced, more complex topics (e.g., gesso); * at the end of each section, the author summarizes the important points. The best thing I like about this book is that the author provides many rules-of-thumb; for example, how much of a border should there be around a piece of art work; how wide should be the frame; how deep should be the rabbet; what colours are best given the colour of the artwork; etc. It is also nice to know that most of the things I taught myself (the hard way) are "correct"! With this book, I now understand why I am doing it right!
The book is not perfect. For example (as one reviewer mentioned) the whole topic of making your own frames is virtually ignored. The discussion of equipment related to the frames themselves (e.g., clamps, etc.)is also almost non-existent. Since I have been involved in picture framing for some time (but nothing too complex), I found the coverage of some topics rather, well, silly (e.g., how to read a ruler) and also disagreed with a few of the book's statements. This is to be expected; we all approach the topic differently, and as the author states, framing is a combination of art and science.
Nevertheless, this book is my first pick for learning the important aspects of picture framing.
About Mat, Mount and Frame It Yourself.......2006-02-25
I have been looking for a good book on this subject for some time and was not impressed with what was available. This book gives good information on on each of the topics (Matting, Mounting, Framing) and is quite easy to follow. Good information on selecting Mat colours for single and double mats and some Mat decoration ideas. In all a very good guide to the subject and some very useful tips to help you produce a professional result.
Just What the Doctor Ordered.......2005-08-10
Our fellow reviewers helped me with this selection -- Thanks. The book is illustrated sufficiently and has the appropriate balance of text for me to develop my skills to the next level -- artistic frames of various materials. What I didn't find out is wether M. David Logan is the inventor of the various "Logan" tools pictured in the equipment section.
Customer Reviews:
Interesting account.......2003-03-04
Quite an interesting account of his encounters and experiences with the different facets of a professional photographer. If you have a problem or a scenario as a photographer, it's probably in there.
The book is NOT a how-to book so finding things may be difficult if you are already uptight and furious about a problem which you're having. It's more of a book for you to read it now and possibly return to refer to it when you need to.
A good overview on what photography is about.......2002-06-23
To produce a quarter to half page article each week on a topic such as photography, intended to appeal to a large and varied audience, requires a pretty good understanding of the medium as well as an understanding of the audience. After nearly ten years of writing for the Washington Post, that's over five hundred articles, on everything from photography etiquette to the latest and greatest in film and equipment, including all the techniques and sundries in between, Frank Van Riper has won the following of nearly every amateur and professional photographer in the Washington, DC area and now with Camera Works online, his articles are available anywhere there is a computer. Talking Photography, Viewpoints on the Art, Craft and Business, is a selection of Frank's best articles, one hundred in all. Suffice to say, there's something for everyone in Talking Photography.
It's an okay book, but..........2002-05-29
...it's nothing what the editorial review would like you to think. I've read many of Frank's articles on Washington Post's Cameraworks and like many of his articles on there, this book is much ado about nothing. You're better off spending that money on a subscription to a photography magazine.
Very informative & friendly photographic guide........2002-04-24
I first encountered the writing of Frank Van Riper in the Washington Post & was immediately impressed by his openness. He's the kind of pro that you feel is not afraid to give away his "secrets". I find that most photography books are like cookbooks: the pictures & descriptions are enticing, but trying to follow the instructions leads most often to major disappointments. Maybe it's deliberate. The authors like to flaunt their skills, but they don't want to increase the competition. Not so with Frank. He tells you all you need to know: the technical aspects, the business aspects & the human aspects. He writes as well as he does because he's a retired NY Daily News reporter. I'd easily give this book 5 stars, except that the publishers have slipped up on one point: all the photos are reproduced in black & white, even though some, if not all, were originally shot in color.

Some of the most interesting and twisty shojo out there.......2002-08-09
Banana Fish got its start in the US in the now sadly defunct "Pulp" magazine from Viz. I was introduced to it there and was so taken that I followed it religiously for the past two years.
Banana Fish has been developing in the most delightful ways. Ashe Lynx is a young man (17 y/o) with the good looks, deadly skills, and sophisticated brain to terrify anyone. He was a runaway who ran to the big city and was picked up by the mob for child prostitution. He becomes the favorite ... toy of the mob boss, who teaches favorite toy things about manipulation and power, the way things work and how to kill people. Eventually, however, Ashe breaks away as the leader of his own gang and turf in the city, and proceeds to set himself against him, Mr. mob boss, Dino.
Okay, so why is it called "Banana Fish?" Banana Fish is the code name of a secret drug developed during the Vietnam War. The drug, like many others, was tested on American troops. Ashe's brother is one of them, and he comes home after going crazy.
Then, Ashe finds a man dying in an alley. The man's last words are "Banana Fish," and he presses a vial into the boy's hand. Ashe discovers the connection between his bed-ridden and dying brother and the mysterious drug and vows revenge.
This start Ashe on a path that brings him into conflict with the Chinese mafia, Dino's gang, and even against the police. He must find out what Banana Fish is, and then destroy it. Meanwhile, he has to guard his heart against a young Japanese boy named "Eiji" who brings out his gentleness and the boy inside.
Truly a tasty tale, but not for the faint hearted. This comic contains sexual elements, a lot of violence, and adult themes. I love it.
Trickery, betrayal, and treachery........2002-07-07
Ash and his friends continue their quest to find the truth behind Banana Fish, but if they thought they would be left to do their research in peace, they were sorely mistaken. Holing up at Dr. Alexis Dawson's house might have worked, had 1) the house not been under surveillance and 2) there not been a traitor on the inside. When Ash and Max rush off to try to save Max's family, a treacherous plan is set into motion, whisking Shadow and Eiji off to New York to face Papa Dino, and the rest soon to follow.
With the truth of Banana Fish out in the open, all the remains to be seen is how Ash will find a way out of the clutches of Papa Dino and Arthur while saving Max, Eiji, Shadow, and the rest of his friends. And stop Papa Dino from becoming one of the most powerful men on the planet and turning over the horrible power of Banana Fish to the US Government. Oh yes, and the revenge. You can't forget the revenge.
Five volumes in, Banana Fish is still going strong, and still has enough allure to keep you wondering what's going to happen next. With only one volume left in the series, I am very eager to see how Yoshida wraps up the story. This has been another excellent installation in the Banana Fish series.

A text book, Interesting Information.......2007-08-12
This is a good text book, it is informative, quite interesting and easy to handle, (size wise),get the workbook that goes along with it! A must! I plan on reading the WHOLE book, for my pleasure, and for more information, that which can be applied to everyday living. You will look at the word ARGUEMENT in a whole new light!
Book Description
Most Americans know that John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry, Virginia -- a raid he believed would ignite a bloody slave revolution -- was one of the events that sparked the Civil War. But very few know the story of how Brown was covertly aided by a circle of prosperous and privileged Northeasterners who supplied him with money and weapons, and, before the raid, even hid him in their homes while authorities sought Brown on a murder charge. These men called themselves the Secret Six.
The Secret Six included Thomas Wentworth Higginson, minister, author, and editor of the Atlantic Monthly; Samuel Howe, world-famous physician; Theodore Parker, the Unitarian minister whose rhetoric helped shape Lincoln's Gettysburg Address; Franklin Sanborn, an educator and close friend of Emerson and Thoreau; and the immensely wealthy Gerrit Smith and George Luther Stearns.
The existence of the Six has been known to scholars, but there has never been a book devoted to them. Now, drawing on archives from Boston to Kansas, Edward J. Renehan, Jr., has created a vivid portrait of this unlikely cabal, showing how six pillars of the establishment came to believe that armed conflict was necessary in order to purge the United States of a government-sanctioned evil, slavery. The messianic zealot Brown -- also brilliantly portrayed-streaked across their path like a meteor. Renehan traces how the Six became involved with Brown, and how their lives were forever changed by the events at Harpers Ferry and the war they helped to start.

Rich Radicalism 1850s style.......2007-06-04
Where is that very fine line between supporting a cause and breaking the law? This is a history of the six men who provided money to John Brown and may have crossed that line in supporting him. Slavery was the cause of a major division and source of disruption in nineteen centaury American life. The Northern states managed to abolish slavery with minimal problems. At the same time, slavery in the Southern states became immensely profitable and the foundation on which a society rested. Slavery colored every national debate, becoming the sticking point for westward expansion and the source of radicalism in both the North and South. Agreeing with their position and knowing history makes it easier for us to be sympatric toward these men. This masks the fact that their money supported actions that caused a number of deaths.
Who are "The Secret Six" and why would they support someone like John Brown? The answer to that question is the subject of this book. Edward Renehan shows that there is no easy answer to this question, providing a look at six complex men. Individually and collectively, they decided that the United States was evil and their cause placed them above the law. Two placed themselves "in harms way" during resistance to the Fugitive slave law or in Kansas. The balance stayed home and allowed their money to do their fighting. Into their lives came John Brown, failed businessman, possible criminal, zealot and ready to "fight slavery". Six wealthy men wanting to strike a blow for freedom and one zealot with money problems was the almost perfect match.
The book contains a very good portrait of all the main characters. An overbearing possibly abusive husband, a hypochondriac, a number of well meaning people that were committed to revolt and a cold-blooded killer is the cast. They do not make for a likeable or heroic group and the author details their good and bad points. Along the way, we get a nice overview of bleeding Kansas as seen in Boston and as Brown contributed to it. This build up, allows the reader to understand how the Secret Six were able to accept Brown's ideas and assume his plans would work. When Harpers Ferry failed, the Secret Six realized that many might consider them to be as guilty as Brown. This section shows them at their worst as they scrambled to get clear of the mess they had helped create.
The opening chapter is one of the best introductions I have ever read, setting the tone of the book, introducing the cast and providing closure. The writing style is very good and easy to read. The book is informative and complete, providing a look into a world of privileged radicals in the years leading up to the Civil War. This is a balanced history, free of condemnation or adulation leaving judgment up to the reader.
Meticulous research, splendid narrative prose.......2000-02-13
No one has done more than Renehan to explore and explain the Byzantine tale of abolitionist John Brown and his idealistic but confused (and sometimes absurd) northeastern bankers. This is a splendid story that, by polishing with his customary narrative excellence, Renehan has turned into a real gem.
A tangled web revealed.......1999-12-06
THE SECRET SIX does a wonderful job of revealing the tangled web of intrigue that lay behind John Brown's 1859 incursion at Harpers Ferry. This is stunning stuff: six affluent northeasterners, one of them the husband of poetess Julia Ward Howe and another the leading Unitarian minister of his day, financing terrorism in slave states -- and going about it methodically, calmly, and deliberately. What a story. And so well told.
First-Rate Abolitionist History.......1999-12-03
THE SECRET SIX paints a vivid portrait of the northeastern aristocrats who financed John Brown's infamous 1859 misadventure at Harpers Ferry. Renehan's elegant, complelling treatment of true historical facts reads like a novel. All the members of the Six -- Franklin Sanborn, Theodore Parker, Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Samuel Gridley Howe, George Luther Stearns and New York's Gerrit Smith -- are brilliantly sketched by Renehan, who also does a first-rate job rendering the unpredictable and unstable John Brown. Most importantly, Renehan proves expert in unscrambling the many Byzantine intrigues that combine to make up the story of Brown and his often-perplexed benefactors.
Excellent.......1998-04-10
I notice that three Pulitzer Prize-winning historians disagree with Mr. Shear's scathing criticism of THE SECRET SIX. Garry Wills, author of LINCOLN AT GETTYSBURG, says "Renehan admirably works himself into the inner circle of these would-be conspirators for good." James McPherson, author of BATTLE CRY OF FREEDOM, says: "In vivid prose, THE SECRET SIX unravels the mysteries of the six prominent abolitionists who supported John Brown but abandoned him to his fate after the ill-starred raid at Harpers Ferry. Edward Renehan has made an important contribution to our understanding of the Civil War and its causes." And C. Vann Woodward, editor of MARY CHESTNUT'S CIVIL WAR, writes: "With their own words and private correspondence, this remarkable book reveals more secrets of the Secret Six than John Brown himself ever knew." The book has also been praised by the New York Times, the Boston Globe, the Baltimore Sun, and Esquire Magazine. Mr. Shear, it seems, stands alone. -- Arnold Roosevelt (aroos@cyberdude.com)
Book Description
The 1670s were the heyday of Restoration England - a period of experimentation, politicization, and strife. This decade was a crucial period in England's history, yet surprisingly little has been written about it. This book - the first full-length study of the period - fills this gap in the literature by exploring the richness and complexity of the decade, and by challenging existing assumptions about it.For those new to the period this book contains the full story of politics, war, and religion, as well as a clear account of the popish plot and exclusion crises. More than this, however, it is indispensable for anyone who wants to fully understand Restoration history, literature or society. Drawing on maps, sermons, diaries, tracts, news and a range of literary sources to explore subjects as diverse as prostitution, piety, wit, cartography, commerce, heroism, and the 'talk of the town', England in the 1670s paints a revealing and vibrant portrait of a society grappling with change.
