Book Description
America's parks-and their architectural companion, the log cabin-hold a powerful grip on our imagination. Harkening back to a simpler time, these rustic structures serve as a reminder of America's frontier spirit, and serve as a popular source of inspiration for contemporary architecture, in everything from simple vacation homes to the mansion "lodges" favored by today's wealthy elites. This classic three-volume survey, first published in 1938 by the National Park Service, details in photographs and measured drawings the rich legacy of America's park structures. In over 500 illustrations, Park and Recreation Structures documents picnic tables, dams, drinking fountains, trail signs, storage sheds, bridges, boathouses, lodges, and inns from the glory days of park construction. Reproduced in its entirety in a single volume, this book will serve as a source of ideas, details, and imagery for architects, landscapists, gardeners, and anyone interested in America's national parks.

Great "Catalogue" of American Log Construction.......2005-11-18
The golden era of handcrafted log construction was 1920's and 30's, and this wonderful book details, in project after project, the structures that had been built in America's National and State parks during that time. Cabins, lodges, visitor centers, even bridges, drinking fountains, fire pits, outhouses, and log benches-they all get photos, drawings, and commentary in this encyclopedic work.
Albert H. Good wrote several books as Architectural Consultant for the National Park Service, and 3 of them are bound into one huge book here--it is the size of a library dictionary. More than 600 pages, and countless photos and drawings, the publisher used high quality paper and library binding. It feels like an expensive book!
For me, the drawings are the gems. B&W photos must be difficult to scan and reproduce from the original, and some of the photos in this book, while generally very good, have suffered just a little. But this is nit picking.
This book is a treasurehouse of handcrafted stone and log structures--these were craftsmen working at the peak of their abilities. And the designs are superb-they have the human scale, the warmth, and the charm that current architects could learn from. Great log homes don't need to be 4000 square feet, or have 20-foot ceilings. This book is proof of that.
Save up and buy this book. Use it when designing your own log home or cabin. Share it with friends. I have been building log homes, and writing about log home construction, for 23 years and each time I browse this book I learn something new.

great reference.......2005-09-25
This is a beautiful book and an excellent reference. It is a reprint of the three volume set published in 1938. "Patterns From the Golden Age" is a cheaper reprint of the same thing - but the quality of the photos in this version is well worth the extra money.
Buildings and sites of the WPA and CCC era........1999-08-08
This is the best source book for the architectural projects and site concepts produced during the 1930's for the Works Projects Administration (WPA)and Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). Albert Good's narrative provides insight into the motivating forces that employed thousands of out of work architects, engineers, skilled craftsmen and laborers to produce projects that now form the core of our national and state park systems.
Most of the work produced under this program is enjoyed by today's tourist as the premier and most desirable destinations for outdoor experiences. Few new park facilities can duplicate the environments created by these dedicated workers on superbly selected and planned sites during the darkest days of the "Great Depression". The hand crafted, and sometimes intricately decorated, architecture and natural landscape planning evolved from talented designers and often unskilled laborers who lavished their work with love that only the lack of deadlines, the motivation of an empty stomach, a belief in the benefit for their fellow countrymen and the need to build with on site materials can produce. These buildings are truly "green buildings" before the term and recent politically correct notion became fasionable.
Any architect, engineer, conservation and environmental supporter or depression era historian can benefit from this publication which brings one in contact with a nation faced with financial ruin and the effect on the hopes and spirit of its citizens. It demonstrates that when given a chance, the work ethic that has and hopefully will always exist in this nation produces fantastic results..........that we can roll up our shirt sleeves and pull on our boots to produce marvelous and lasting accomplishments even under great adversity.
I recommend this book not just for the professionals whose vocations it represents but also for those who wish to understand the mountains that can be moved with a little sweat and perseverance.
Book Description
INTRODUCTION
Kamon or family crests are art motifs, which have been adopted as insignia by families and handed down through the ages. The heraldic emblems of Japan are simpler and aesthetically finer than European coats of arms. The clarity and elegance of kamon are now highly valued throughout the world as a
new design or motif, and applied widely in various ways in such fields as handicraft, interior and textile designs.
In this book, 4,080 traditional crests are collected. The Yin (white on a black background) of each crest is presented on the left page, and the Yang (reversed motif) on the right page. Accordingly, the total number of motifs comes to 8,160. All the designs are free of copyright, so you can use them
as they are or as a source of inspiration. -Editor

A Wonderful Resource...with one Fault.......2006-11-03
This is a WONDERFUL resource for those who are looking for information on Japanese Family Crests (or "mon"). The book groups the different crests by "type" such as crests of plants, animals, insects and things like everyday objects. Also there are many examples grouped by specific things, like those crests of the "ume" or "plum" blossom, of which there are many variations.
The weak point of this book is that the family names that these crests belong to are only shown in Japanese Kanji and there is no English translation, so if you are trying to do research on a specific family's (or business' crest as some businesses later in Edo history and pre-WWII Japan used crests as well, an example being the large solid "circle" in white on the lamps and such of the geisha district of the "Gion" in Kyoto) and you do not read kanji then you will not be able to figure out which family or business the crest belonged to.
I would have given this resource book five stars if they had translated the kanji of the names that belong to the crests (at least those that are well known, such as the various samurai daimyo family crests and of course the Tokugawa family crest, etc.), but since they did not, I'm only giving this book a four out of five stars.
As far as I can tell though, it is the ONLY reasonably priced book currently being published that has ANY English language in it at all on this subject and which is so full of the actual pictures of the crests, which makes it pretty invaluable if you are trying to match crests on antique kimono (which is what I originally bought it for) and you can find a way to scan the kanji under the crest and then send it to someone that does read it so that you can find out where your kimono (or other antique item) came from.
Excellent Reference Book.......2006-03-25
If you're into anything Japanese then this is a very good reference book to have lying nearby. It catalogs thousands of family crests and they're indexed by motif, which makes it relatively painless to look a crest up. Do be advised that all the crest names in this tome are in katakana (Japanese syllable symbols) so you will need familiarity with katakana (or yet another handy reference tome at your side) in order to determine what family each crest represents.
Dollar for dollar, though, you cannot get a better deal than this book which has about 400 pages worth of crests, with 20 crests per page. Each crest appears twice, though, so it comes to about 4000 crests, all told.

Informative, beautifully designed with a clever narrative.......1999-03-24
Each potential shoot is summarised under paragraphs on "Seeing...", "Thinking..." then "Acting..." The photographs are beautiful, prompting the reader to see the scene from different angles (line drawings sometimes illustrate the effects of a changed viewpoint). Information on camera type, lens and filters used is included for each shot. Covers close-ups to the formal gardens of the French Chateaux to the English country garden. I hope to find more books like this one.

Moving Farewell.......2005-03-13
The author's third and final memoir volume is very moving, but falls just short of its outstanding predecessors (THE START & NIGHTMARE YEARS) due to lighter sprinkling of contemporary history. William L. Shirer (1904-1993) lived a remarkably full life, and at age 85 retained the immense talents that ranked him among our top journalist/historians. Here he recounts returning to a defeated Berlin in 1945, his firing by CBS News (told quite differently elsewhere), and his struggle to write RISE AND FALL OF THE THIRD REICH while semi-blacklisted and half-broke in the late 1950's. Shirer also takes a limited look at the events of the 1970's and 1980's, describes his prolific seniority, and pays tribute to friends lost to advancing years. The author's bittersweet account of his final visit to Paris 60 years after having first lived there in the 1920's speaks volumes. This journalist-turned-author was a perceptive realist, somewhat headstrong and pessimistic, and well seasoned by wine, women and song. Writing that wonderfully readable prose of old newspapermen, Shirer certainly left his mark - as had been predicted in his college days by a long-forgotten editor back in Cedar Rapids, Iowa (see THE START).
This final memoir is perhaps best once you've gotten a sense of the man from his earlier memoirs and other stellar books. Not knowing that he'd live to finish another book (on Tolstoy), Shirer's final passages are a moving farewell. As he states, "...it was an interesting fate to be an American in the Twentieth Century...I am glad it was mine."
Excellent, but not up to the first two in the series........1998-06-27
Shirer's historical narrative suffers somewhat when he turns the spotlight on himself. The first two books in the series, where his focus is growing up in early 20th century America and his years as a foriegn correspondent, are outstanding. In this voulme, his focus is on his blacklisting, struggling as an author, and his vindication in writing the definitive history of Nazi Germany. Instead of the candor he displayed in the earlier works, at a few points he leaves me feeling he is holding back. His description of his firing by CBS leaves me wanting more, some feeling of why there was such pressure to remove him. Instead, he just gives us his criticism of how he was wronged. I felt this same reluctance to be totally honest with the reader when he described his visit to the Soviet Union in 1982. He seems to have a stong admiration for Russia, but he just won't lay his cards on the table.
In summary, William Shirer seems a man I would disagree with on most subjects, but one whom I could admire and respect. He is mostly candid and honest about his liberalism, but I wish he would have not left some blanks in the record.
Shirer's memoirs of McCarthyism and beyond.......1998-05-28
I rate this a 9 because it isn't quite The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, or The Collapse of the Third Republic. For any other author, this final volume of memoirs would be a 10. Academic historians hate the man, because he has outdone them at every turn and has made modern history readable. This final volume of memoirs is fascinating, because it recounts Shirer's view of his departure from CBS -- a view far different than that expressed by Ann Sperber in her biography of Edward R. Murrow. It is fascinating because it sets the reader down, and explains what it was like to be a world class author and intellectual unable to ply his craft due to the inclusion of his name in the notorious "Red Channels". In the final analysis, it is fascinating because it is William L. Shirer writing about William L. Shirer surviving ouster from CBS, McCarthyism, and going on to write two of the most important works of contemporary history the western world has ever been privilaged to read. This work cannot be commended too highly to the intellectually aware. Conservatives and other knotheads ought best to look elsewhere, for these are fools that Shirer does not suffer gladly, indeed at all.

Abilene.......2006-12-15
Summer vacation June 6, 2004, the day after President Reagan passed away. Rolling thru Abilene Kansas I made a quick diversion at the Eisenhower Museum which ended up taking up the entire day. Fascinating exhibits, first I went to the gift shop where the clerk recommended this autobiographical book. Born 10/14/90, he tells of early life in Abilene, West Point, WWI, the 1919 transcontinental convoy, refining the tank corps with Patton and how they defied death twice, Panama, Pershing, MacArthur, London, D-day, Berlin with many entertaining anecdotes. Next at the Visitors Center view the 25 minute film. Next tour the Eisenhower Family Home. Next go to the Museum, it takes about 1 or 2 hrs and the D-Day exhibit is unforgettable as you emerge from a Landing Craft ramp on to the Normandy Beach Panorama. Next proceed to the Library, there is an exhibit area on the 2nd flr. Next go to the Place of Meditation which is final resting place, 34th President, wife Mamie, and first-born son. On Feb 6, 1968 77 yr old Eisenhower hit a hole in one while playing at the Seven Lakes Country Club in Palm Springs. On the par 3 104 yd, 13th hole using a 9 iron. Of the presidents, Dwight D. Eisenhower probably ranks as one of the best all-around athletes. At Abilene High School Dwight Eisenhower played center field and in his senior year the team lost only one game to the KU freshmen. On the football team Eisenhower played right end. At West Point the 5ft 11in, 180lbs Eisenhower was halfback / linebacker. Sports writers in the fall of 1912 referred to him as the "Kansas Cyclone." The most memorable game was with Carlisle led by Olympic hero and All-American Jim Thorpe. Eisenhower and teammate Charles Benedict succeeded in stopping a Thorpe-led drive by using a double-tackle on the legendary halfback. But a deft maneuver by Thorpe in a later play sent the two West Pointers crashing headlong into each other. They were temporarily stunned and removed from the game Carlisle won 27-6. In 1913 Ike injured his leg in football practice jumping off a horse and sat on the bench as Knute Rockne and Gus Dorais of Notre Dame used an innovation called the forward pass to surprise West Point. Recommended viewing: John Ford's The Long Gray Line with Harry Carey Jr. as Eisenhower; and The Longest Day. Rockne's crash site memorial in Bazaar, KS is 100 mi SE. Or head 30mi east to Fort Riley for the US Cavalry Museum where Buffalo Bill and Custer were stationed, I picked up "My Life on the Plains" and "Boots and Saddles".
ENJOYED EVERY WORD OF THIS ONE.......2006-03-26
I must admit, I was surprised when I read this one (after putting it off a number of years). Eisenhower did indeed have a knack for story telling and this becomes quite apparent with the first read of the first page of this book. This work gives us an inside look into the mind of a truely great man. I, like a couple of other reviewers here, was quite delighted with the candor, and insightfulness of this President. Actually, I found the work to be quite refreshing in this area...it is so unlike many of the autobiographies of some of the more recent presidents. Anyway, this book is well written and extremely informative and very, very readable. I highly recommend it to any history buff and highly recommend it to anyone having even the slightest interest in this individual the times he lived in. Recommend you add this one to your libary as you will no doubt want to give it a reread.
Entertaining Recollections.......2005-11-14
In "At Ease" Dwight D. Eisenhower entertains the reader with recollections of his life up to the end of his military career. Organized chronologically, he tells the tales of his Abilene years, his time in the Peacetime army, the ordeals of World War II and his postwar migration toward political life.
On the pages of this book we learn of Ike's ancestors, his immediate family, his youthful interests and his courtship of Mamie.
Ike brings us into a series of "what if" situations which could have changed history. What if he had been admitted to Annapolis, rather than West Point? What if his football injury had prevented his commissioning? What if he had been sent to France in World War I? Ike lets us into his hopes and frustrations.
An early intra-war adventure was his participation in a cross country truck convoy which introduced him to the breadth of his country and to the need for good roads which he would advance decades later with his promotion of the Interstate Highway System. During the intra-war years Ike served under Gen. Douglas MacArthur in Washington and in the Philippines. His disagreement with MacArthur's impressions of the Bonus Army and his disapproval of the Chief Of Staff's personal involvement with its rout provide insight into Ike's character evaluation as well as his own developing values which would guide his later public life. During this period his friendship with George S. Patton matured and their professional interest in tanks kept a technology alive.
Approaching World War II, Ike's timely return from the Philippines and his performance in war games in Louisiana positioned him for the call to leadership.
Assigned command of Operation Torch, the American invasion of North Africa, Ike's involvement among rival French factions marked his advance into a form of politics. At this high command level, Ike became more deeply involved in interaction with political leaders, particularly Winston Churchill. With the transfer to Europe, his involvement in the Great Crusade deepened.
With victory achieved, Ike became involved in occupation issues with the Soviets which lead to his increasing mistrust of them. He relates some insightful and some humorous incidents during his service as Chief of Staff. During his time as president of Columbia University, Ike tried his hand at education and civilian life.
This book is very well written in an easy to follow style. It is a collection of memories, not a full biography. Ike tried to avoid stories which he reported in "Crusade In Europe" (See my Amazon.com review). "At Ease" holds the reader's interest while providing insight into Eisenhower's life and character.
Learn about Eisenhower the man.......2004-04-29
Recently I went and toured the Eisenhower farm in Gettysburg Pennsylvania. It was a facinating tour (Given by Ike's personal physician and family friend) and when it was over I asked the gentleman what book I should read to learn more about Eisenhower. He recommended this one and a fine recommendation it was.
One nice thing about Eisenhower is he had a gift for story telling and he puts that gift to good use here. You discover when reading his books that they have a very comfortable feel to them. No dry read here. Eisenhower had a real talent for writing (He didn't use a ghost writer but wrote his books completely on his own) and you come away with a better appreciation of the man's intelligence and strong wit.
I was also surprised in the book at how much candor Ike shows. One half expects when reading a book like this you would get a lot of political stories or things to try and justify some of his political choices while President but that is not the case. It really is a book that the title says it is. Personal stories that Ike liked to tell his friends. The result is we get a nice look at the man. Not General or President Eisenhower but the man himself looking back at his life as a soldier, husband and father.
One note on this book. WW II is only lightly covered in this. Eisenhower covers that subject in "Crusade in Europe" which I also recommend.
If you're are interested in learning more about Ike and his life, this is a great place to start.
An informal journey thru Eisenhower's remarkable life.......2003-03-13
told by Ike himself. He demonstrates a personal touch in this book. It is very different from "Crusade in Europe" & "Eisen-
hower at War" in that he treads very lightly on World War II. It is told the way he wanted to thru mostly humorous stories. It is told without pomposity or the self-serving justifications you find in many autobiographies. Documentation not required here. He covers events in his life that Stephen Ambrose choose to edit in his fine one volume version of Ike's life.
There are stories told in "At Ease" that may not ever be told elsewhere that Ike himself enjoyed. This is an old man talking about events from his youth. Nobody can gaurantee they are 100% accurate & Ike admits as much in the book's preface. It is still an enjoyable book by a great man.

A History of the Modern World (9th Edition)- textbook of doom.......2006-11-14
After many years of textbooks in both public and private school I have always hoped that one day a textbook that was interesting to read would be assigned. Some textbooks have succeeded, A History of the Modern World has a bit of work to do. The pages are tightly pact with tiny print and the occational pictures. The pages are hard to read with the print size and single spacing. (I have to take breaks often to rest my eyes.)
If you are planning on reading this book cover to cover you will get a ton of information. I advise taking good notes with page numbers, otherwise you will not easily find the information again. Althought there is a lot of good information, the index and table of contents makes for difficult referencing, (definitely a book you will want to tab with sticky-notes.) On the insides of the covers there are world maps for reference, but unfortunately the publishers did not take into consideration that the binding would effect the images (this included images inside the pages too) and there are countries that are either not on the map, not labeled, or the labeling method was difficult to determine to which country the name goes to.
For the student that carries multiple books, you will dread the weight on this one. This book weighs around 5 lbs and has the standard size of a hardback novel and is about 1.5 inches thick.
Verbose and useless.......2006-09-10
This book has no idea what should be prioritized and what shouldn't. Also, the narrative is a rambling mess.
Ex: They spend 10 excruciating pages on Stalin's agricultural and industrial reforms, but contrive to cover the entire holocaust in all of 10 LINES! 'Nuff said!
I got a 5 on the AP exam quite comforably, but no thanks to this ridiculous book.
Outstanding overview of modern history.......2006-07-12
I am not exceptionally scholarly, although I would have to say that it takes some scholarly motivation to read over 1000 pages of dense historical writing in one's free time. Yet I found this book, which is often used as a textbook, very easy to read. It doesn't quite read like fiction as some lively historical accounts can, but that would be a difficult task given this broad a subject.
Palmer leaves very few questions unanswered. He adds a good amount of political commentary and speculation to keep it interesting and to show the relevance of events to today's world, but not too much that you feel he's biased in any way. He also gives short, informative bios on important individuals so that, even though he doesn't have time to delve deeply into any particular one, you get a feel for the personal motivations of all. His maps are fabulous, perhaps the best feature. They help to visualize the changes over time. Also, when he discusses territories he tends to explain them in terms of today. This is important because with the territories changing hands so often in history, it is difficult to conceptualize how these past kingdoms relate to the modern nations of Europe. He also is very clear in distinguishing between the natives and the conquering groups, including language differences. This is crucial to understand today, as nationalism movements flourish again after the breakup of the stabilizing and static bipolar international system (i.e. the breakup of the Soviet Union). Palmer's book is very good for this purpose.
I highly recommend it to anyone looking to brush up on their knowledge of history (who has some time on their hands). It's really an excellent book! I plan to use it as my history bible and reference it often. I will also use it as a jumping-off point for further reading. At the end of the book, Palmer includes a comprehensive, 91-page "suggestions for further reading" covering every topic he discusses for further reading/research. It is a goldmine of reading material!
Excellent and prompt service.......2006-03-20
The book arrived within a week after I placed the order. As advertised, it was in very good condition. No highlighting or pen/pencil marks on the interior pages. Was a little surprised by the deteriorating binding near the back of the book which is only noticeable if you open the back cover and turn to the last page of the index. Surprised but not upset as this is to be expected in such an old book. Just happy that the pages are in pristine condition and the rest of the book is in pretty good shape.
This is THE text of Modern European History.......2006-01-29
It is difficult to add to what reviewers have already provided. I used this text when I was a classroom AP teacher for a number of reasons. Among those reasons was that while most K-12 textbooks are the product of a committee, (committee- a terrestrial life form having at least six legs and no brain.) this book is largely the work of the late Dr. Robert Roswell Palmer. It was written as if the author felt that the history of Modern Europe was not a collection of chapters but rather a story, a narrative to be read the way one reads a novel. There is a continuity to the writing and an elegance of prose that can only be achieved by a text like this. Dr. Palmer was a wonderful historian and a marvellously accessable teacher who took the time to answer letters personally on his old manual typewriter. His passing is lamented.
Book Description
Conflict is central to human history. It is often the cause, course and consequence of social, cultural and political change. Military history therefore has to be more than a technical analysis of armed conflict. War in the Modern World since 1815 addresses war as a cultural phenomenon, discusses its meaning in different societies and explores the various contexts of military action.
Each chapter takes a geographic area and provides an in-depth analysis of its military history. Areas and subjects range from Japan and China to Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa, breaking away from a Western focus on war history and offering a global perspective. The result is a unique study of war across the world in the last 200 years, showing connections, similarities and contrasts.
