San Juan Islands Wildlife: A Handbook for Exploring Nature

Book Description

WALKS IN LONDON AND SOUTHEAST ENGLAND

Few cities can rival London's distinctive mix of the urban and the pastoral. Despite being the largest city in Western Europe, home to a staggering seven million people, the capital preserves surprisingly extensive stretches of green space. Satellite images of the metropolis reveal that over a third of it is made up of greenery, not only in the city's famous parks and gardens, but also in less obvious places - canalside paths, disused railway tracks and reclaimed industrial land - as well as along the banks of the Thames as it winds through the city. The capital's hidden footpaths are thoroughly enjoyable in themselves, and also offer a fascinating insight into the tightly packed layers of social, architectural and industrial history which went into the making of one of the world's most absorbing cities.

Many parts of southeast England also remain, contrary to what you might expect, almost miraculously unspoilt. Despite the sprawl of suburbs which girdles the city, fast train services make it extremely easy to reach open countryside from just about anywhere in London - indeed, it's surprising just how far from the capital you can get in a single day and still have time for a rewarding walk and a great pub lunch. To the south and west of the capital there's sweeping downland: the lush North Downs, and the barer and more open North Wessex and South Downs. You'll find spectacular stretches of coast - from the towering sandstone cliffs at Hastings to the wavy chalk formations further west - as well as areas of dense ancient woodland, at their most extensive in the New Forest. The Thames cuts a green swathe west of the capital, linking a chain of attractive towns and villages, while to the north are the pristine wooded hills of the Chilterns and the limitless flatlands of the Fens around Ely. The striking variety of landscapes is part of the attraction - from the prettily manicured landscapes of the Kent Weald to the hauntingly bleak chalk uplands of the Wessex downs. As with London itself, the southeast has always been a densely inhabited area, and the impact of human activity on the land, while more diffuse, is no less profound, visible in Iron Age forts, medieval field terraces, and Georgian stately homes. All the landscapes described in this guide, even the bogs of the New Forest and the windswept crests of the South Downs, bear the marks of cultivation, comprising a vast testament to the people who cleared, drained, shaped and even - in the case of the prehistoric chalk figures which dot the region - actually drew upon the land for millennia.

Book Description

Phase transfer catalysis is a sophisticated chemical technique which can be used to perform a variety of chemical reactions under mild conditions and with improved control. Since the concept was developed, both the theoretical and practical synthetic applications have seen considerable development, to the point where the technique can be applied to many areas of chemistry. Thus, phase transfer methods are now utilized in many applications, from research chemistry to full-scale production, where the benefits of faster, cleaner and more selective reactions are required. In this new book, the editors have brought together a range of contributors, each of whom is working at the forefront of the technology, to provide a clear, concise and ahtoritative review of this important area of chemistry. Industrial and academic chemists working on the synthesis, scale-up, production or analysis of a wide range of chemical products will find this book an essential reference on phase transfer technology.

"Every book, every story, every sentence we read is a part of our preparation for our own writing," suggests Joyce Carol Oates in her introduction to Telling Stories, "so it's wise to choose our reading carefully." Easily said. But apart from sticking to the classics and canceling that subscription to People magazine, how does one go about choosing wisely? One way is to find a reliable anthologist, and in Oates we have just that. Prolific a writer as she is, Oates also teaches creative writing at Princeton, and she uses many of the stories, prose pieces, and poems collected in Telling Stories as material for her writing workshops. Among the nearly 100 authors included in the volume are Anton Chekhov and Lydia Davis, Ovid and Angela Carter, H. P. Lovecraft and Stephen King, Gish Jen and Thom Jones. A rich stew it is indeed, and a terrific jumping-off place for those writers who wish, as Oates recommends, "to read widely, to read with enthusiasm, to read for pleasure, to read with an eye for another's craft." --Jane Steinberg

Book Description

This exciting anthology by one of America's finest storytellers provides over ninety works of narrative art. With the reading list for her writing seminar at Princeton University as a model, Joyce Carol Oates chose pieces that will inspire beginning and experienced writers alike. Here are classics and relative unknowns, short vignettes and long genre fiction, tragic tales and humorous character sketches--models for just about any writer. Section introductions and an Afterword on the writing workshop provide a glimpse of Oates's own understanding of the storyteller's craft.

Best reading assignments ever..........2001-10-19

If you are looking to take a writing class, save your dollars and buy this book, read your eyeballs out, and turn yourself loose on the personal style you are going to be so amazingly aware of... A ton of great reccommendations, and as always she writes with an ease and flow that is bewildering...

A wide and incisive collection.......2000-11-13

I've used this text for my Writing Fiction 281 class, and it's fantastic! I especially like the "flash fiction" section in the beginning. If you're looking for a reader that includes cannonized authors as well as fresh young voices, this is a solid choice.

This is an excellent collection of stories but..........1999-01-25

don't buy it if you're looking for guidance on writing-there is very little about craft here but there are some excellent examples of different types narratives and they're grouped in an interesting way. One section, for example, has stories that retell fairy tales, bible stories etc. using modern story lines. Other sections cover such genres as dramatic monologues, miniature narratives and memoir. Useful if your looking for positive examples, but be prepared to draw your own conclusions.

An excellent anthology for creative writers and readers........1998-07-21

Joyce Carol Oates combines the best of classic literature by Kafka and Faulkner with contemporary works by Garcia Marquez and King. Each story and poem exemplifies a writing technique or strategy. An example being the two versions of James Joyce's short story "Sister;" the first his original draft and the second a revision. "Telling Stories" is a wonderful anthology for anyone wishing to broaden their knowledge of literature from Homer to today.

Book Description

Telling Moments collects contemporary short stories by a diverse group of twenty-four lesbian writers. Engaging themes of life and death, aging, motherhood, race, love, work, and travel, the writers offer brief glimpses into lesbian lives.
The stories are by well-known contemporary writers—Gloria Anzaldúa, Mary Cappello, Emma Donoghue, Jewelle Gomez, Karla Jay, Anna Livia, Valerie Miner, Lesléa Newman, Minnie Bruce Pratt, Ruthann Robson, Sarah Schulman, and Jess Wells—and exciting newer voices, such as Donna Allegra and Marion Douglas. There are also stories from performance artists Carmelita Tropicana, Peggy Shaw, and Maya Chowdhry. Anna Livia’s protagonist appreciates her mother’s artful garden creation. Ruthann Robson tells of a survivor of the health care system. In Marion Douglas’s story a teenager dances with an alluring classmate. Donna Allegra’s strong construction worker copes with the death of her mother. And Karla Jay sets her character forth to swim with sharks. Most of the stories are accompanied by an author photo, biographical sketch, and—a most significant feature—a commentary from the author on her writing process and the autobiographical nature of her story, illustrating the truth behind the fiction.

Book Description

Farewell, Godspeed is a remarkable collection of eulogies for some of the most notable figures of our time, delivered by the people who knew them best. In the words used to eulogize the great and celebrated men and women of the world—sometimes reverential, sometimes funny, always poignant—we come as close as perhaps we ever will to seeing the warm humanity beneath their public personas.

Cyrus M. Copeland has gathered some of the greatest of these writings about artists, scientists, authors, public servants, entertainers, and others who have captured our attention by making the world a better, or at least a livelier, place. Here is Andy Warhol’s close friend describing Warhol’s hidden spirituality. Albert Einstein’s assistant recounting his humanism. Edward Kennedy remembering with a brother’s tenderness the life of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Larry McMurtry’s lively and loving tribute to Irving “Swifty” Lazar. And Robert Bernstein, longtime publisher and friend of Dr. Seuss, memorializing him with special, never-before-published verse. Also included are the eulogies of the Challenger astronauts by President Ronald Reagan; Charles Schulz by Cathy Guisewite (creator of the comic strip Cathy); Bette Davis by James Woods; Bob Fosse by Neil Simon; Lucille Ball by Diane Sawyer; Martin Luther King Jr. by Benjamin E. Mays; David O. Selznick by Truman Capote; Karl Marx by Friedrich Engels; and Gianni Versace by Madonna.

In these moving and personal tributes we see at last the vulnerabilities and nuances of character that are often hidden from the spotlight, and the true personalities behind the names we remember.

A few nuggets .......2006-05-04

First things first. The book is mis-titled. This is not a book of the greatest eulogies of our time. Rather it is a book of eulogies about "great" people.

Copeland has segmented the book into eulogies for Maestros, Visionaries, Wisecrackers, Captains of Industry, Movie Moguls etc. The fact that the eulogized person was exceptional in their life does not guarantee an exceptional eulogy. Indeed, many of them consist of pretty ordinary prose.

However, it is still an interesting and useful book. Hopefully, you will not be called on to do a eulogy too soon, but if you are, Farewell Godspeed is a good resource to help you craft those words.

My favorite eulogies contain some lovely humor which I believe is important for a good memorial. James Woods words for Bette Davis contain some memorable anecdotes and portray a real sense of what this lady was about. Larry Gelbart's eulogy for Jack Lemmon is full of obvious love.
"(I)n his personal life, Jack had almost no range at all. Throughout the whole of it, year after year, he was simply unfailingly terrific - displaying merely shades of marvelous. Being predictably thoughtful. Endlessly caring. Instinctively kind."

The eulogy to Albert Einstein by Ernst Straus, friend and assistant, captures the archetypical "mad scientist" Einstein. It is funny, it is moving and again like Gelbart's words, full of love.

A useful reference book, but I do believe that many of the greatest eulogies of our time will never get published. These eulogies have been delivered by your friends, by your neighbors about their loved ones, about their friends and their neighbors. Ordinary people speaking about people who touched their hearts, but for them, not in an ordinary way. Eulogies which have been delivered from the heart with the speaker never wondering what the media will be saying about the speech the next day.

Sixty four choice examples of eloquent eulogies.......2004-08-13

I am not inclined to agree with the sub-title of "Farewell, Godspeed" that these are indeed "The Greatest Eulogies of Our Time," simply because I think there are so many eloquent farewells given to loved ones who have passed away that never see the light of day. But that hardly detracts from the point of Cyrus M. Copeland's collection, which serves as a potent reminder of a neglected art form by providing sixty four examples from the past century.

Of the sixty four the one that will be recognized and remembered by most readers in President Ronald Reagan's eulogy for the "Challenger" astronauts, a most atypical eulogy in that it was probably the one written the quickest, delivered the same day that the shuttle exploded before the television cameras of the nation. Older readers might recall Chief Justice Earl Warren's remarks following the death of President John F. Kennedy, but clearly you will be reading almost all of these sixty four eulogies for the first time.

These eulogies are collected into sections representing the vocation of the dearly departed. Copeland has sections on Maestros like Isadora Duncan and Andy Warhol, Visionaries from Susan B. Anthony to Ryan White, Wisecrackers from Lucille Ball to Charles Schulz, Captains of Industry such as Henry Ford, Matinee Idols from Humphrey Bogart to River Phoenix, Explorers & High Flyers in the mode of Amelia Earhart and Timothy Leary, Tunesmiths & Troubadours from Irving Berlin to George Harrison, Movie Moguls like David O. Selznick, Wordsmiths from Emily Dickinson to Dr. Seuss, and a final section devoted to the eulogies for the three principal figures of America's Camelot. Clearly, our time extends beyond this century when we go back to Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman, which is another reason to take the sub-title with a grain of salt. But it is not like a century or two ago people talked about death in ways that we cannot understand today.

After each eulogy Copeland provides a brief time line for the historic figure who was the subject of the eulogy. For some of these figures it may be helpful to read these biographic outlines before the speeches, especially if you have no idea as to the identity of a Quentin Crisp, David Ogilvy, or Irving "Swifty" Lazar.

Some of the speakers who gave (or wrote) these eulogies will be familiar to the reader as well. Madonna writing about Gianni Versace, Bob Hope speaking about Jack Benny, Garrison Keillor eulogizing Chet Atkins, and Orson Welles on Darryl F. Zanuck, for example. One figure who is eulogized, John F. Kennedy, delivers a eulogy of his own for the poet Robert Frost.

To my surprise my favorite eulogies were the ones that managed to bring humor to the situation. Just the idea of Monty Python's Eric Idle giving the eulogy for George Harrison of the Beatles has to bring a smile to your face. That does not mean that you cannot be smiling through the tears, as is the case when fellow cartoonist Cathy Guisewite shares memories of the man she called Sparky and that the world knew as the creator of "Peanuts," Charles M. Schulz. There is also something to be said for eulogies given by family members, even when the subject is famous and the sibling is not.

Certainly there are examples that come to my mind that I could argue should be included, from Margaret Thatcher's words on the passing of Ronald Reagan, to Bill Clinton's eulogy for Richard Nixon, and the two speeches Robert F. Kennedy gave following the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. Copeland includes two eulogies by the man who fate has called upon to delivery more than his fair share of such speeches, Ted Kennedy, but not the one he gave for his brother Bobby, which remains his most memorable. The way that speech contrasts with the eulogies given for his nephew, John Kennedy, Jr., and his sister-in-law, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, would be insightful.

However, in the final analysis Copeland's collection is inspirational, specifically in the sense of showing how various speakers have responded to this particular rhetorical situation. In that regard the most public examples of such discourse, delivered in the wake of the death of the most prominent citizens, can readily be seen as being beyond the scope of most funeral orations.

"Farewell, Godspeed" is an excellent book to loan to a friend or family member who has to deliver a eulogy, for it will show the range and scope of what can be done (I say "loan" because that strikes me as being more appropriate than giving it as a gift under such circumstances). Certainly within these sixty four farewells there will be speeches, or specific passages, that resonant and can inspire the expression of similar thoughts. Even in grief, there can be moments of profound eloquence.

Bedtime Reading.......2004-05-03

You'll read this book slowly. If you want to savor each of the imaginative, evocative portraits of 20th century legends. As with a batch of homemade chocolate cookies, better to consume just a few each night with a warm glass of milk. And then fall asleep and dream of what you want to become. The inspiration is ineluctable.

Thought provoking -- what else shoud a book be?.......2004-04-05

What a book. It is the compilation of about eighty eulogies of some of the most influential persons of their times, given by a myriad of people. There is neither rhyme nor reason, save the fact that they have touched people; some millions, some few.

We find words by John Kennedy, and of John Kennedy. Of Albert Einstein, David O. Selznick, Charles Schultz, Che, Martin, the Duke and the Challenger astronauts.

Anyone smart enough to be able to read will go through this book and come to its end with one thought: "What would I want to be said about me?" And after that thought, who knows what action may follow!

Damn.

amazing and inspirational farewells.......2004-02-19

This may not be the kind of book you would expect to find interesting, but once you pick it up, you'll find it difficult to put down. This is a compilation of 64 eulogies for the famous by the famous or articulate people who knew them best. Many are moving, all are interesting.

Divided into sections called Maestros (Bob Fosse, Andy Warhol), Visionaries (Susan B. Anthony, Martin Luther King Jr, Ryan White), Wisecrackers (Gilda Radner, Lucille Ball), Captains of Industry (Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford), Matinee idols (Humphrey Bogart, James Dean), Explorers & High Flyers (Challenger astronauts, Albert Einstein), Tunesmiths & Troubadours (Janis Joplin, Lawrence Welk), Movie Moguls (Stanley Kubrick, Billy Wilder), Wordsmiths (Mark Twain, Walt Whitman) and Camelot (JFK, JFK Jr and Jackie Onassis), often the eulogist is as interesting as the deceased, and the fascination comes from learning about their relationship -- JFK on Robert Frost, Fidel Castro on Che Guevara, Ossie Davis on Malcolm X, Bob Hope on Jack Benny, Eric Idle on George Harrison, among others). These are words spoken in a time of tremendous grief, and the eloquence of the speakers is memorable.

Each selection is several pages long and followed by a short chronology of the deceased.

Also, don't miss the beautiful Robinson Jeffers piece that precedes the Table of Contents.

This book is fascinating and inspirational, and will compel you to contemplate your own legacy and relationships.

Highest recommendation.

Book Description

This thoughtful book explores much of the background to the strife the globe faces today. In particular, Christopher Catherwood shows how religion and national pride, which are supposed to be positive forces, can become perverted ideologies that arouse hatred, slaughter, and war.

Book Description

In the follow-up to his very successful Black Lies, White Lies, controversial talk-show host and radio commentator Tony Brown presents a practical plan to reclaim our resources and institutions from a selfish and exclusive power elite.

At the start of the twentieth century, argues Tony Brown, the world's economy was hijacked. In capitalist and communist countries alike, elitist groups took control of international trade and national banks, with dire results for the ordinary citizen. Ever since, capital has moved toward a single inner circle -- the Ruling Class Conspiracy -- who monopolize the world's markets and even its governments for personal profit. Their stratagems range from the "war" against drugs to deliberately induced racial conflict among ethnic groups in America -- none in earnest, all carefully designed to preserve a pernicious status quo.

But Tony Brown has a remedy. His provocative and empowering seven-step plan offers an opportunity to break free once and for all from the constricting control of the wealthy and powerful who have run the world for far too long -- including a point-by-point program for radical reform of the income tax and a proposal to muzzle the Federal Reserve Bank, which exerts unconscionable influence over the lives of every American.

Incendiary and persuasive, this book reaches beyond race to claim the high ground of historical, logical, and moral analysis. For nearly half a century of Cold War, America and the Free World were defined by opposition to Communism...but was this merely a red herring to ensure the domination of the haves over the have-nots? Read Empower the People, form your own conclusions...and hit the brakes!

Customer Reviews:

Garbage.......2006-11-01

This book is the most ridiculous collection of foolishness which I have ever taken the time to read. I am appalled that Mr. Brown did not employ adequate resources to verify many of the allegations made in this book. For example, I found it totally unacceptable that Mr. Brown alleged that three past U.S. Presidents were Freemasons, when they definitely are not. Although this is quite an easy area in which to find proof, Mr. Brown calls Presidents Clinton, Carter and Reagan Freemasons, when none of them were so affiliated. I am persuaded to believe that he knew of these falsehoods when he wrote them, because whenever he mentions anyone who actually is a Mason, he is careful to mention which Masonic Lodge they were a part of ... not so with Clinton, Carter or Reagan, because NONE OF THEM WERE MASONS!

He also spent much of his time criticizing the Freemasons, which is obviously an organization that he doesn't understand. More specifically he miss-understands the fact that each Masonic lodge is independent and beholden only to it's own Grand Lodge, such that there would not be much if any cooperation or communication between the various Grand Lodges to the effect that you could get all Freemasons to "conspire" in any complicated effort. He has obviously taken every negative rumor against Masonry to heart, and synthesized them into this book ... even though the book is not actually "about" Masonry. It appears to me that Brown's real problem with Masonry is that it is not a "Christian" organization, which they don't purport to be, even though the majority of Masons are Christians.

The book is also garbage where he actual writing is concerned. The number of times Mr. Brown uses the phrase "illuminati ruling class conspiracy," is sickening, and he makes up words like agentur(s), which he uses synonymously with the word "agent." Every person of any stature is an "agentur of the illuminati ruling class conspiracy" to Mr. Brown. This is the first book I have read which I have disliked to such a degree to write a bad review, and I would dissuade any person from reading this book who does not already have a basis in the reality of the subjects of which Mr. Brown speaks, or else knows when to go to Google or Wikipedia to double check the numerous false allegations or look up the words that this guy has created. I was thoroughly disappointed, don't waste your time, this is one for the trash heap!

Decent...but not exceptional........2005-11-21

First off let me say that I think Tony Brown is a man of extraordinary intelligence. He is a man that I listed to for years on WLS(chicago radio) and with whom I agreed with on most important political issues. I have to say, in defense on this book, that the writing is phenomenal, the research is well-intentioned, and quite thorough, but I feel that Mr. Brown missed a few pieces of research, not by oversight but because they did not fit in with the overall theme of the book.

That is my problem with books that deal with conspiracies; the author normally has his own views about the various groups and, try as he might, he cannot hide them from the attentive reader. I, along with many of the intelligent reviewers here on Amazon, have noticed some inconsistencies with his research, some mistakes he made in the book, etc, but I will not judge the book by that.

I will, however, judge the book on it's intellectual value. One of the common descriptions I was given for this book was it's ability to open your eyes and look at the world in a new light. My eyes were always open. I could have done the same research as Mr. Brown and produced a similar result if I had been inspired to do so. For this book, however well written, is just that- unverified and sometimes boring facts covered in a candy-coated shell of good writing.

A Little Paranoid?.......2004-08-20

Tony Brown's book isn't backed up by any facts, just "conspiracies" he's heard. I'm convinced Mr. Brown is a Lyndon Larouche supporter who is a paraniod schizophrenic. Though some parts where interesting to read, which is why I gave it two stars, I found it hard to follow one-accusation to another. I didn't believe anything he wrote.

Paranoid Fantasy.......2001-10-20

Tony Brown's paranoid fantasy about world orders make this an almost impossible book to read. Not backed up with any facts but the authors claims jump from topics a diverse as the implied assassination of Princes Diana to a general Freemasonary plot to rule the world to the world banking system. Often these topics are covered in a few pages with Mr. Brown liberally jumping from one topic to another. His only references are other conspiracy books as bizarre as his own. Schitzophrenic paranoid fantasies quoting other paranoid fantasies and masking itself as some sort of intelligent thesis. What nonsense! But hence the crux. Since it is a "conspiracy" (a word Mr. Brown uses liberally), it can never be proven or disproven, hence it's validity. Based on that version of logic one could never disprove the existance of Santa Claus either.

The most important book ever published!.......2001-06-17

Someone's got to take on the Illuminati, and my man Tony is the one to do it! Because it tells the truth about the one world conspriatorial forces at work in our society, it is the single most important book ever published. Buy it, read it, pass it on to your friends. Hell, pass it on to your enemies. They'll be your friends after they read this book. We all need each other to defeat the Illuminati.
