Book Description

This is the fourth of a seven book series (K-6th grade) providing instruction in basic italic handwriting. We recommend Book D for third grade or advanced second grade.

This book begins with a thorough review of basic italic, then presents the cursive joins in sequence. After all the joins are learned the cursive capitals are shown. Writing practice includes first names, vowel sounds, consonant sounds, phonograms, prefixes, suffixes, homophones, homographs, ampersands, and punctuation. Sentence content includes poem forms such as couplet, haiku, acrostic, cinquian, limerick, formula poem, and tongue twisters. Cursive capital practice includes origins of our alphabet. Application form, letter writing, and envelope making are presented.

The books were designed so that a child may begin anywhere in the series, even though they have never before learned italic. Each book begins with a comprehensive review for that particular level. For example if a child is in the 4th grade, and can write at that grade level, they can begin with Book E without having to work through any of the previous books, adding to the versatility and cost-effectiveness of this series.

Great, but "meatier" than the first three.......2001-07-05

We have used the entire series. It works well for kids to do on their own and the handwriting is very nice. This book is a bit more tedious than the others (it is longer and cursive is used)... but it still produces nice writing and is easy to use.

Book Description

Intended for use with the Getty-Dubay Italic Handwriting Series workbooks A-G for kindergarten through 6th grade, each Blackline Master packet corresponds with the designated workbook A-G. They consist of 8 ½ x 11" copyright-free sheets containing two separate practice lessons per page. Each ½ page indicates the corresponding page in the workbook where the lesson is covered. For example, after teaching a particular letter or join, select the appropriate half page for student practice.

The Blackline Masters may be used as an introduction to the workbooks, as a review once the workbooks have been completed, or for extra practice and to reinforce and refine specific areas that may need a little more attention later on.

Because the pages are copyright-free, an instructor may make as many copies as needed from the masters, providing unlimited practice for students.

As the Blackline Masters are to be used in conjunction with the workbooks, the actual instruction is contained in the workbooks.

Splendid collection of portraits from one of the last century's great photographers.......2007-08-12

This book can be summed up quite succinctly; several hundred beautiful photographs, in a mixture of color and black-and-white, many in full-page format, of the members of Britain's Royal Family over some fifty years from the 1930's to the 1970's. The photographer is, of course, the famous Cecil Beaton, one of the last century's most famous lensmen, who is otherwise best known for his fashion photography and his design work on the movie of "My Fair Lady". Those wanting to start a collection of photography books of royalty would do well to make this volume one of their first acquisitions.

A family guide for health and wellness blending two of the world's great healing traditions

Customer Reviews:

Just a great book !.......2001-09-30

This book is for anyone who may be skeptical about eastern medical practices, but who may be longing for a better, more holistic view of medicine than is provided by their own western doctor. The book outlines various common ailments and then describes the treatment diagnoses, first from the view of western MD and then from the view of an eastern doctor, without any bias towards either. You are able to learn the strengths and weakness of each method of healing so you can make up your own mind which is better or more effective. Its also a great, easy to understand primer of all the eastern philosopies and terms you've heard of before but not clearly understood like Qi, maintaining balance (yin/Yang), Accupressure, etc...
A definite must read for anyone dealing with a chronic illness or who feels like they've reached the limit of what their western doctor can do for them.

Practical and power-packed!.......2001-08-19

A terrific, power-packed book of practical information about the Chinese and Western systems of health and healing, and how you can apply them to your life.Valuable healing remedies and insights are on every page. Specific healing remedies for many of the most common diseases and health problems are outlined.

Highly readable popular history.......2004-05-26

The books of Trotter's trilogy, "The Civil War in North Carolina" (the other volumes are "Silk Flags and Cold Steel: The Piedmont" and "Ironclads and Columbiads: The Coast") were published as independent works and can be enjoyed that way. But one can't get a good understanding of the war in the Old North State by reading about a single region. I strongly suggest that serious students of the war, or of North Carolina, take time to read the entire trilogy.

Aside from John G. Barrett's "The Civil War in North Carolina," Trotter's trilogy is the only modern comprehensive account of the war in the Tar Heel state. (See also my review of Barrett's book at Amazon.com.) Unlike Barrett's rather academic, formal approach, Trotter is as concerned with telling some good stories as he is with documenting North Carolina's role in the war. He includes a fairly extensive bibliography in each volume, but apparently he relied mainly on published sources, and the footnotes are very sparse. This is not to say that his work is inaccurate or invalid, but it is hardly the ultimate account of the war in North Carolina.

His geographical division of the three volumes also presents some problems. Much information about the state's entry into the war and about its political aspects is found in the volume on the Piedmont, "Silk Flags and Cold Steel," but the most important battles in the first three years of the war -- which had an influence on these political events -- are covered in the "Ironclads and Columbiads" volume about the coastal war. These two volumes also contain many later events that "interact," for example, the closing battles in March and April of 1865. And some events in "Bushwhackers" - most notably, Stoneman's cavalry raid in the final weeks of the war - also lap over in to Piedmont. Again, a full understanding requires reading all three of these books. Trotter, while adopting a mildly pro-Confederate tone like Barrett's, doesn't do as good a job of tying events in North Carolina to those of the wider war.

"Bushwhackers" stands best on its own among the three volumes; here Trotter does a vastly superior job to Barrett in portraying both the nastiness of the mountain conflict and the difficulties the Confederates had in defending the western area of the state, especially in the latter part of the war. Much of "Bushwhackers" focuses on Thomas's North Carolina Highland Legion, a unit made up partly of Cherokee Indians, which fought throughout the war and gained a fearsome reputation in Great Smokies area. Trotter also spends much space here on Confederate deserters and draft dodgers who flocked to the mountains to hide out (shades of "Cold Mountain!"). (In his other volumes, Trotter also devotes ample time to draft resisters and Unionist guerrillas in the Piedmont and Chowan River regions.) However, his account of the war in the mountains is more episodic and less cohesive than the accounts of the other two books, perhaps because the North Carolina mountain war was more diverse and source materials about it rather scarce and sometimes apocryphal.

One failing that Trotter shares with Barrett is the poor quality of his maps ("Bushwhackers" has no maps at all!) and the lack of description of battle sites, roads, and other places in modern terms. It took me a while to figure out that the town known in 1861 as "Warm Springs," on the French Broad River, is named "Hot Springs" on modern maps; and I never did figure out if "Quallatown" is the same place as the present-day Cherokee, North Carolina. (If not, it must be very close by.) A copy of DeLorme's "North Carolina Atlas and Gazetteer" is a vital supplement to these three books; modern place names and locations of battles and other events should have been located using modern landmarks, included as footnotes.

Trotter's trilogy is "popular" history, entertainingly related and highly readable. He doesn't hesitate to have occasional fun with purple prose- "The obsidian mountain night engulfed them like wraiths" -but the writing usually is lively and flows well. There may be more recent and more thorough books about various aspects of the Civil War in North Carolina, but Trotter's trilogy presents an introductory survey in a convenient package.

The Best Guide Since Daniel Ellis.......2003-05-02

Not much has been written on the Civil War in the Appalachians, where, as William Trotter so eloquently puts it: "The killers had names, the victims had kin, and everybody had a gun." Bushwhackers is the best-researched, most thorough account of the mountain war that I have found. When I was researching "Ghost Riders", my novel about the Civil War in the mountains, I found that Mr. Trotter's book was the most useful guide to the chronology of events and their significance. In addition to primary source material and histories, I consulted his book at every turn to make sure that my narrative on Zebulon Vance and Malinda Blalock agreed with the historical record. When other authors disagreed on some point of information, and I had to chose whom to believe, I always chose Trotter. This book is a distinguished piece of scholarship, and an invaluable resource to the Appalachian historian. Highly recommended!

Bushwhackers; The Civil War in North Carolina The Mountains.......2002-04-10

Bushwhackers; The Civil War in North Carolina The Mountains written by William R. Trotter is an epic backrop for the great military war that occured behind the scenes in the Mountainous regions of the western North Carolina Appalachian's. The book attempts to document much of the voilence that did take place such as Fratricidal Raiding and Bushwhacking skirmishes that took place amid small bands of men whom operated under no regular military command. There was no Official Reports filed on most of this fighting. Major connections to East Tennessee, as well, this book is a pleasure and more a treasure for anyone interested in history and genealogical findings on their ancestors that traveled thru the southern states to freedom.

Reader friendly.......2000-10-16

Bushwackers is a reader friendly account of the civil war in the mountains of North Carolina. Besides the historical accounts, Trotter includes stories that have been passed down and are rich fodder for storytellers. Trotter has a creative non-fiction style that brings this time and place alive. :)Mary Z. Cox

Book Description

John Winkler has spent more than 30 years bushwhacking through the Adirondacks. These breathtaking views of the Park are not seen from the roads or trails that crisscross the area. This beautifully illustrated volume with over 115 color photos, sketches by John Wiley, as well as poems by C. W. Uschman, gives a new perspective to this great wilderness. The author has done a superb job capturing the ruggedness of these mountains.

Nothing Better Than This For Hard-Core Hikers!.......2002-08-10

Winkler has done what so many other Adirondack High-Peak enthusiasts want to do - and then some. Not only has he climbed and documented dozens of unmarked highpeaks, but he has supplemented them with gorgeous and uniquely viewed photographs. These give a completely new perspective for any Adirondack hiker and is written with a practical approach.

If you want a 'jump-start' on taking on some of these 'tougher' climbs, read some of Winklers stories and get going. Be one of those few that reach these remote peaks and discover the magical seclusion that Winkler shares. Great reading year round!

Beautiful Photos of Rare Places.......1999-08-20

The author has hiked to some incredibly out-of-the-way places and taken gorgeous photos. The pictures show the incredible variety of scenery in the Adirondacks as the seasons change. They also show the fun that can be had from venturing to some of these places. An example is Gooseberry Mountain, in the middle of the Adirondack High Peaks. By scaling this seldom-visited mountain, the author obtained a great view of nearby Basin Mountain, a popular hiking destination. Moreover, he waited until just the right time to take a perfect picture. This is an exhilerating book - the best nature photography book I have ever seen, and the author didn't even have to leave New York State!

A GREAT WESTERN.......2003-01-23

'Bushwhakers' was a great western novel, with the perfect picture of evil, gun-toting villians and the hero (in this case heroes) defeating the villians hands down. I thought more could have been done to enhance the book's sophistication, regardless of era. The violence was kept quite tame considering the nature of the book, and the writer did quite a good job for his first time at novel writing. I am surprised that the book has not been produced as a screenplay.

QUANTRILL RIDES AGAIN..........1999-03-05

Bushwackers contains pages of hollywood style western action, womanizing and double dealing. The book depicts two brothers recruited by Frank James to join Quantrill's irregular unit to fight the Jayhawkers and Federal Army.

The book can be finished in a night or two so do not expect any deep insight into the zeitgeist of the era. Snippets of personalties of such real life figures as Jesse James, Quantrill and General Ewing are a few the colorful characters brought back to life in these pages -- as well as fictionalized accounts of two of the more infamous events in the western theater of the Civil War: the Lawrence massacre and the makeshift Federal prison collapse which killed Missouri women.
