        Book Description

        Wilson the Pug is the apotheosis of the breed dog lovers can't get enough of and can't buy enough books about. Irresistible goes without saying-but Wilson is also a descendant of Chinese philosopher Lao-tzu's beloved companion, Pug-tzu, and he has a great deal of wisdom to share as he exemplifies quotations from the Tao Te Ching. In The Tao of Pug his own everyday Taoist lifestyle is captured by Nancy Levine, his owner and a veteran dog photographer, in whimsical word and captivating picture. With his adorably expressive face, comic poses, and trademark yin-yang coat, Wilson's magnetism shows us the big, simple, profoundly spiritual picture through the eyes of a little dog. Pug-tzu, he reminds us, said, "A pug is a pug is a pug. I'm just me, Wilson the Pug. And I'm okay with that."

        The Tao of Pug is a must-have holiday gift for the fanatic owners of pugs, for all dog lovers, and for any seeker of insight and humorous charm.

        5 out of 5 stars Pugs!.......2006-01-07

        I loved this book, and received it as a gift. I wish I could get my pugs to pose like that for pictures, how does she do it? I have purchased this book for other pug friends of mine, and they have simply adored it. I highly suggest this book as a gift to a pug person.

        5 out of 5 stars Very Cute Book!!.......2005-09-28

        This was great book. The pictures are awesome. It's a must for all pug lovers. I might be a little biased, though, I have a pug named wilson.

        5 out of 5 stars A Precious Charm to hug to you!.......2005-04-28

        The Tao of Pug has great snapshots of pugs, and comically done by "Wilson the Pug", Nancy Levine's pug. 'Black and white isn't so bad', I always think to myself, looking at the pug photos. 'I believe it's just a nice, warm, way of showing pugs off.' The Tao of Pug will always be a family favorite!

        5 out of 5 stars A Treasure.......2005-04-07

        The Tao of Pug is a wonderful book. I had never noticed the similarity between pug behavior and Taoism before. Taoists believe that people are good by nature, and that one should be kind to others simply because such treatment will probably be reciprocated. Pugs are naturally friendly and trusting. Taoism is focused on nature. Pugs happen to be very fascinated with nature (mostly by the parts of nature that are edible). Taoists seek answers to life's problems through inner meditation and outer observation. Have you ever seen the quizical look of a pug? This is a fun approach to both Tao and the Pug!

        5 out of 5 stars A fun book, and a good gift.......2005-03-31

        This book is beautiful quality, and has fantastic photographs that should appeal not only to pug-lovers, but also lovers of a good photograph and a good wit. You don't have to be a pug-lover to love this book. The sayings tie into the photographs in a way that will make you smile. Definitely a wonderful gift for either an animal lover -- or perhaps that "deep" person on your list who needs to lighten up just a bit! :-)

                                  5 out of 5 stars Cool, but tough.......1999-10-04

                                  For a game book, Lone Wolf is certainly outstanding. The detailed discription, charachter options and everything makle it truly excellent. This book was no exception, and certainly one of my favourites. I especially like that you are able to finally deal with Tagazin. Just one thing though: Ixiataaga is impossible! I've tried at least fifty times, and I cannot defeat him! :-P

                                  4 out of 5 stars A "Diamond in the Rough" book..........1997-04-11

                                  The Deathlord of Ixia is certainly one of the most well-written books in the Lone Wolf series. Following up Lone Wolf #16, The Legacy of Vashna, The Deathlord of Ixia takes the reader to the icy word of Ixia, where the Deathlord has been released and the entire fate of the universe you know rests on your hands.

                                  I really enjoyed this book and found it had many practical tips. One the best tips the author gives is to develop your "quick speak inventory." When you get a call from someone looking to buy or sell, you really need to know the inventory off-the-top-of-your-head as much as possible. The author gives a sensible way to start and build your quick speak inventory. Other great advice is given for how to deal with "old pros" and how you have to be willing to "bury the dead cats." I also like the 12 month farming almanac to keep up a marketing cycle. A truly joyful training program for the new agent and a good refresher even for old pros!

                                  I thought this was an excellent book. I've read it straight through and now I'm working on the Break-away schedule in the back of the book. As a new agent, it was very helpful to get an honest preview of the work it takes to be successful in this business. My broker said that I was the most prepared of any of the new agents that he'd interviewed with. I have Danielle's book to thank for that. It's worked for me so far, so now I'm going to hit the ground running with her break-away schedule! Worth the money, if you're willing to work it.

                                    I read Loung's first book and liked it, but something about it subtly bothered me. Reading this book, I realized that it was the anger that underlay the whole thing. She's certainly more than entitled to the anger, but it doesn't always make for the best writing or reading.

                                    This book has been written by a more mature and settled Loung, and it shows. There's more reflection and a lot more humanity, bringing depth to the portraits of family members who were shown more one-dimensionally in the first book: an inevitable byproduct of the book being told straight from a child's point of view, and that of a child focused intensely on survival. I especially liked in this book how the "scary" brother Khouy was given added nuances of character; the moment when he said, hearing of his small sister's death, that "she was so small" brought a lump to my throat. The characters of the brothers and sisters are fleshed out here in a way that's really delightful and much more interesting to read than in the previous book.

                                    What's best about this, I think, is how we're given a look at the love between the siblings and the incredibly resilience of the family members who stay in Cambodia. It's also a good portrait of how some people in Cambodia are moving on with their lives: in our minds, so much of Cambodia remains the war and the killing fields. We need to know that people are surviving and living their lives despite the shadows of this past: it makes the nation real to us instead of a symbol.

                                    A gripping story that kept me up too late to read through it in one sitting. Some reviewers have said the sections on Chou were not as good as those on Loung, but I didn't find that at all -- I could actually have read a lot more from her point of view.

                                    One quibble: the book needed slightly better proof-reading. There were a few spelling mistakes that spell-check missed, and an astounding miss on a picture caption, where one of the Angkor Wat temples was labelled "Wat BYRON" instead of "Wat Bayon." Otherwise, an excellent read.

                                    5 out of 5 stars The tale of two sisters, worlds apart.......2006-04-30

                                    Loung Ung's fascinating second book, Lucky Child, picks up the story that began with her first memoir, First They Killed My Father, and with both books I found it impossible to put them down once I'd begun reading. Lucky Child contrasts life for Loung as a refugee in America, with her sister Chou's life in rural Cambodia, and it's a revealing and moving comparison. Loung, with lasting feelings of guilt for those she'd left behind, found it difficult to fit in, whilst Chou, resigned to her fate, displayed the resilience and inner strength that is apparent in so many of her fellow countrymen and women.

                                    I found two parts of this remarkable book particularly poignant, the heart-rending death of three-year-old Kung and the reunion between Chou and her brother Meng after a separation of eleven years. These passages were hard to read. Whilst the eventual meeting of Loung and Chou is an awkward affair, the tale of their brother Kim's escape from Cambodia to France is enthralling. The book tells a tale that underscores the importance of the bond between family members, the sheer strength of the human spirit and will to endure and most of all, it's a story of two sisters who have survived and flourished against all odds. Loung Ung has a special talent at storytelling. I recommend this book without hesitation.

                                    5 out of 5 stars A must read!.......2006-02-09

                                    It's hard and saddening to know that while I was living a life of ease, Loung and her family were struggling to survive the war in Cambodia, as well as life in the U.S.

                                    This is an important book which carries the message that, like war veterans, refugees fo war torn countries do not leave the violence behind them, that it continues to color their life.

                                    This book should be a must read for everyone, not only so the events in Cambodia are not forgotten, but so that we can learn to appreciate what we have.

                                    Both books by this author are wonderful. Another deeply moving memoir is Night. The author was in a World War II. concentration camp.

                                    5 out of 5 stars In depth look at change in life.......2006-02-05

                                    Last year, I picked up First They Killed My Father while I was in Cambodia. I had already read Chanrithy Him's - When Broken Glass Floats. Both of these books are very powerful and must reads in the genre of the Khmer Rouge and the Cambodian genocide of 1975-1979. Lucky Child is a book that takes place in a completely different world. At the end of "First They", we see Loung heading for a new life in America and we all give a sigh of relief.

                                    Lucky Child goes in depth into the difficulties of a minority trying to adapt to white American society. All the while, Loung has everything she experienced in Cambodia continually gnawing at her spirit - the loss of her family being the most difficult for her. As the author, she is our focus, but in Lucky Child, we also get a very good look at her older sister Chou and what life was like in Cambodia in the years following the fall of the Khmer Rouge.

                                    This book is powerful and tough to put down. It tugs at the heartstrings and provokes deeper thought into our own lives and values. Lucky Child is one of the finer books that I have read in some time and I highly reccomend it to anyone who is interested in Cambodia, the peoples, customs and landscapes of that beautiful country, and human nature, suffering, and the will to succeed. This is a book not to be missed!

                                      Wellington and Napoleon tells the story of the convergence and final clash of two of the most brilliant commanders ever to meet on the field of battle. Wellington, his men said, "didn't know how to lose a battle". But Wellington himself admired his adversary:

                                      In Portugal and Spain, Wellington helped wreck Napoleon's Continental System, bled his reserves away and showed the 'unbeatable' French could be beaten after all. The opposing armies, like their commanders, were not at all similar. Napoleon's were large conscript armies, living off the land and led by marshals who rose by merit. Wellington's was a smaller, volunteer force, ruled by the lash though paid, and his officers were those the government chose to send.

                                      It was the British infantryman who made the difference. Napoleon never learned to counter Wellington's infantry, and at the great climax at Waterloo it cost him dear. Even so, the battle was so near-run that, but for luck and the Prussians, history might have taken an altogether different course.

                                      I like this book. Its not very weighty, and gives a pretty breezy overview of a long period of time. It also tends to be a very traditional telling of the story of Napoleon's downfall. However, I would like to point out that the previous reviewer somewhat miscontrued the nature of this book.

                                      Neillands goal is to see Wellington and Napoleon as parallel lives. Both lived in the military traditions of their countries, and in important ways, came to embody those traditions; Napoleon, the audacious, fast moving, hard hitting French soldier, and Wellington, the quieter, conservative, and solid nobleman/soldier. Napoleon moved through the professional training schools of the Old Regime, to become a general of the French Revolutionary armies. Wellington became an officer in the quaint English way of buying his commission. Both learned warfare by working through the ranks, Napoleon in Provence and Italy, Wellington in India. And both finally fought each other at the last battle of the wars, at Waterloo.

                                      Neither man really ever fought the other until that last battle. Napoleon's attention was focused on Central Europe - Austria and Germany - and Russia, while Wellington spend almost the entire time period covered by this book in Spain and Portugal. Only briefly did Napoleon personally intervene in Spain, preferring to leave Spanish affairs to his brother Joseph, Napoleon's handpicked king of Spain, and his Marshals. Wellington marched all over the western and central portions of the peninsula, and experienced great frustration working with the Spanish generals and Spanish system (calling it a government might be generous)

                                      Napoleon's overstretch, which led to his eventual downfall, began in Spain, with the Spanish uprising. The French could beat just about any Spanish regular military force, but they had no way to defeat the guerillos who swarmed along every road and in every town. French soldiers were killed retail, which, in the long run bankrupted the French war effort. The Spanish ulcer, despite its 'sideshow' quality, was the major cause of Napoleon's collapse. He could not afford the strain on manpower, supplies or treasure that the Spanish war caused France.

                                      Now, the reason the ulcer was inflammed and played its role as a drain on French resources was Wellington. His army, led, not always brilliantly, but for the most part competantly and professionally, kept the French off guard, helped keep the Spanish and Portuguese armed and supplied and gave the Spanish regular armies, after their usual drubbings, a place to rally. Napoleon could continue to through troops into Spain, but it was, by 1810, a losing investment, but one that he couldnt write off.

                                      Napoleon himself was losing his touch, to be sure. The battles of Aspern-Esseling and Wagram are not prime examples of Napoleon at his best, and the invasion of Russia was clearly a disaster. But, without the drain on his resources caused by Spain, would he have been better or worse off? Would the extra hundred thousand veterans wasting away in Spain, have been better used in Austria or Russia? Hard to say, but they might have helped.

                                      I give Wellington all the credit in the world (as Liddell Hart did too) for keeping his small army in being, managing to cooperate to a certain extent with the Portugeuse and Spanish (and eventually the Dutch), and for taking advantage of the French style of warfare, to bleed Napoleon's armies in Spain, and eventually defeat him at Waterloo. Often, Wellington had the best of both worlds; an offensive strategy that put him in the tactical defensive position.

                                      For it is in the defensive art that Neillands feels Wellington made his mark. His ability to see the defensive quality of the terrain, to use the reverse slopes, and to rely on the marksmanship of the British 'thin red line' all worked to his advantage because Wellington well knew how the French were going to fight. His tactics were based on this udnerstanding, and the French never really did work out a means of countering it. At Waterloo Napoleon tried massed artillery, cavalry charges and infantry shock attacks, and never made much of a dent in the British position.

                                      So, the Spanish war was an essential part of the downfall of Napoleon, and Wellington was essential to keeping that war going to a successful conclusion. Does that make him the greatest general of the war? Maybe not, but he certain earns high marks, and is one of the best.

                                      3 out of 5 stars Poorly thought out, but an adequate summary of events.......2003-10-08

                                      Neillands says Napoleon was in decline for the last 8 yrs and the reason for that decline is the campaigns in Spain. NB however really did not campaign there, and devoted secondary attention to it. Neillands says that no one man played a more decisive role in that struggle than Wellington. He proved France could be defeated and his victories in Spain revived spirits of the allies. He slowly chipped away at the myth of invincibility of Napoleon. The final element contributing to Napoleon's downfall was himself. He went too far, refused to recognize enough is enough. Neillands argues that British soldiers did well against Napoleon's troops if well handled, well-positioned and could not be galled by cavalry and artillery. Well, who wouldn't be if all of these preconditions were met! The author's aim is to reduce the jumble of confusion of 20 years & study the time period through men. Neillands claims that in the end W's tactical skills on the battlefield proved decisive. He doesn't say much to support this, and overlooks to a large degree the Prussian contribution to NB's defeat. NB's tactics never varied-it was to seek out the enemy and destroy his army-with blitzkrieg. Wellington knew @ command, logistics, & was at ease at court. He had important political connections too. He had gained a clear idea of how, by setting attainable objectives and relying on his own force a campaign could be won. Wellington's army was superior in training, discipline, marksmanship & tactical ability, says Neillands but this is open to debate as well. Tellingly, Neillands admits that most of the Peninsula campaign was a side show. What he ought to have said is that because of this, the book's title of Wellington & Napoleon is a bit misleading, as NB was not directly involved in Spain for much of Wellington's tenure there. The title is a stretch. Is Neillands correct when he says that 'Wellington must be considered the greatest general of his age.' Hardly.

                                            This is a excellent,thorough book written by an excellent, thorough lady and professor. Sadly, she passed away in August 2004, so there will be no more books. However, this book stands as a monument to her diligence as a historian and talent as a writer. Dr. Delatte will be missed.

                                            5 out of 5 stars one of the best ever published.......2001-03-14

                                            First and formost it is a shame that Dr.Delatte has only had time to write one book. And I hope that she will get the chance to write another soon. In her book Lucy Audubon A Biography she sets the tone in the first chapter. She goes in great detail to explain to her reader Lucy Audubon's life. She gives a rare insight to a historical figure and brings her to life with her words. the reader feels as if they are there with Audubon as she goes through life and overcomes the obstacles in her life.
