5 out of 5 stars Excellent biography, Wonderful photographs and illustrations.......2007-05-23

This is my favorite biography of Beatrix Potter, thoroughly researched and historically accurate, with many wonderful family, home and countrylife photographs (including ones of Beatrix Potter's pet rabbit, dog, and a variety of her other animal pets). The book also contains her many beautiful illustrations, watercolors and copies of some notes and letters as well as portions of her manuscripts. Judy Taylor, an author enchanted with Beatrix Potter stories and art from early childhood, also wrote Beatrix Potter: The Artist and Her World, and two National Trust Guides: Beatrix Potter and Hilltop, and Beatrix Potter and Hawkshead. She's the editor of both Beatrix Potter's Letters: A Selection and Letters To Children from Beatrix Potter.

                      Book Description

                      When her beloved grandmother dies, a young girl's minister grandfather unwittingly sends her to live with an abusive father in this rich, wrenchingly honest southern novel infused with humor and heart.

                      Twelve-year-old Georgia Tate wishes she could stay home forever with her no-nonsense nana, her preacher granddaddy, and her sassy friend Ginger, celebrating church revivals and the Fourth of July with icy cold watermelon and all the deep-fried fish she can eat. She wishes her deadbeat daddy had never reappeared on the scene, and that Ginger hadn't blurted out the awful truth about Mama. But most of all, when Georgia Tate loses her nana to a sudden heart attack, she desperately wishes she could find a way to tell Granddaddy why she can't possibly leave Mississippi to move in with Daddy — about the things he does that make her feel so ashamed her mind takes her off to a faraway, made-up place.

                      With a vivid narrative voice and an extraordinary cast of characters, first-time author Gigi Amateau tells an unflinching and unforgettable tale of a sensitive girl caught in the trauma of incestuous abuse. But CLAIMING GEORGIA TATE is also a joyful story of survival — an ode to the solace of true family, the mercy of strangers, and the possibility of hope and healing.

                      5 out of 5 stars Great book - delightful author........2007-07-02

                      GiGi Amateau is a delightful writer with great insight on the human condition. I read this book very quickly and delighted in the characters, especially Sissy (who I found to be realistic and despecable).
                      Great job, Gigi--looking forward to your other works.
                      --T. Butler

                      5 out of 5 stars Claiming Georgia Tate.......2006-07-22

                      This is one of the truly lovely books i have read. I did not find it disturbing as it is set in the harsh reality of our environment. I was crying when Georgia's nana died. Gigi's description of the characters are flawless and I loved everyone of them. Ginger, nana, grandpa tate, aunt mazel, Tamika, JJ and his mum and Leroy. The all came alive before the pages and told a truly marvellous story of one brave little girl. The novel is writeen in such a way that shows Georgia's hate, love, joy, fear and passion. I recommend this book to children 12 and over.

                      5 out of 5 stars Inspiration.......2006-03-23

                      Georgia Tate is inspirational. Even after being abused by her father and losing her grandmother, Georgia was still hopeful and joyful. She always knew that two things would always be there for her: God and her grandpa.
                      I would recommend this book for anyone 13 and older.

                      5 out of 5 stars The Most Hopeful Book I've Read.......2006-01-30

                      This book is full of hope and joy and I hope everyone gets a chance to read this book and then read it again!

                      5 out of 5 stars it's time to take our heads out of the sand.......2005-08-27

                      Much has been written and reported about this splendid book that misrepresents the book entirely. This is not a book about sex; it is a book about SURVIVAL, a young girl who manages to survive being molested by her own father. Unfortunately, I know the statistics on incest and rape, even for young people Georgia's age. It is a brutal reality, and I would prefer that my kids read about this in the safe confines of a book and then have the chance to talk to me about the harsh realities they will face. Any parent can, of course, elect not to have their child read this book. That is parental responsibility. However, to limit anyone else's access to the book is wrong. CLAIMING GEORGIA TATE is an incredibly well-written and riveting read. It treads the territory of incest carefully and with concern for the character. Given the quality of the literature and the redemptive hope with which this novel ends, it might behoove parents to read this one and decide for themselves if it is something to share with kids. Amateau is a powerful new voice in the field, one I hope to hear from again and soon.

                                  La obra bucea con implacable lucidez en la poesia y el horror de la vida; es el esplendido resultado de una necesidad de comunicacion directa entre lector y materia narrativa. En palabras suyas: hacer del lector un observador o mejor aun, un testigo de una experiencia verdadera que, contada bajo tal optica, resultara mucho mas subyugante que si el autor la interepretase al modo clasico.

                                    It's been a long time coming, but A Song Flung Up to Heaven triumphantly completes the six volumes of autobiography that began nearly 30 years ago with Maya Angelou's astonishingly successful I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, a work that changed readers' perceptions of what autobiographical writing could achieve. The impact of I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (which evoked the author's adolescence and sexual abuse in Arkansas) was unprecedented. It combined frankness and emotional force with a nuanced, poetic style--a style that Angelou has perhaps found more elusive recently. But it's here again, as affecting as ever. The book deals with the years 1964-68, a turbulent period in which Angelou came back to America after her African sojourn. This, of course, was the time of the assassinations of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King; Angelou was on the point of working with the latter in the civil rights movement. Her voice is fresh and exhilarating as she deals with the tragedies and triumphs of a packed life, and there are some set-piece moments, such as her account of the misguided revenge she took on an ex-lover.

                                    Many women have become celebrated as writers and poets, but Angelou has also enjoyed a distinguished career as a civil rights activist, producer, performer, actress, and filmmaker. With all of this under her belt, she can be forgiven for the note of self-congratulation that creeps in at times. But for those who've followed her unique writing, this is a journey into a fascinating life and a riveting picture of a divided America, always informed with that clear-sighted vision Angelou is famous for. --Barry Forshaw, Amazon.co.uk

                                    Book Description

                                    The culmination of a unique achievement in modern American literature: the six volumes of autobiography that began more than thirty years ago with the appearance of I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.

                                    A Song Flung Up to Heaven opens as Maya Angelou returns from Africa to the United States to work with Malcolm X. But first she has to journey to California to be reunited with her mother and brother. No sooner does she arrive there than she learns that Malcolm X has been assassinated.

                                    Devastated, she tries to put her life back together, working on the stage in local theaters and even conducting a door-to-door survey in Watts. Then Watts explodes in violence, a riot she describes firsthand.

                                    Subsequently, on a trip to New York, she meets Martin Luther King, Jr., who asks her to become his coordinator in the North, and she visits black churches all over America to help support King’s Poor People’s March.

                                    But once again tragedy strikes. King is assassinated, and this time Angelou completely withdraws from the world, unable to deal with this horrible event. Finally, James Baldwin forces her out of isolation and insists that she accompany him to a dinner party—where the idea for writing I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings is born. In fact, A Song Flung Up to Heaven ends as Maya Angelou begins to write the first sentences of Caged Bird.

                                    4 out of 5 stars Autobiography as Literature: Doing the Impossible.......2006-08-11

                                    When a representative of Random House contacted Angelou with the suggestion that she write an autobiography at the tender age of forty, she demurred, and he lay down a challenge by saying that she might be right to refuse, for writing autobiography as literature is nearly impossible to do. Angelou picked up that challenge and met it squarely, for her six-volume autobiography does indeed qualify as literature. As has been noted in several reviews of her other books in this series, she writes not the dry facts of her existence but rather the colorful and expressive interpretation of those facts. Instead of recounting happenings, she paints for the reader her interpretation of them, their significance, and their place in her universe. History may underlie her writing, but it is the view that Angelou has of those historical events that gives her books interest and meaning.

                                    A SONG FLUNG UP TO HEAVEN is the concluding volume of Angelou's autobiographical writings, and, by itself, it is of limited instruction for the reader. It is quite brief, easily read in a single sitting. The first short chapters present a skeletal synopsis of her personal history. The final chapter gives wing to her philosophical view of humankind. In between, the reader is given a glimpse of the frustrations leading to the Watts Riots and of the despair occasioned by the assassinations of Malcolm X and of Martin Luther King. This volume also continues earlier books' insightful descriptions of King, Malcolm X, and James Baldwin, adding much to the understanding of these men by the general public.

                                    This slim volume is indeed the conclusion of the other five books that comprise Angelou's autobiographical works detailing the first half of her life. It is no more logical to begin reading this book without having first read the others than it is to read the final chapter of a novel before enjoying all of the preceding chapters. If one is to comprehend this book fully, he must begin with I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS and follow with its successors until he reaches A SONG FLUNG UP TO HEAVEN in the proper course of things.

                                    If a criticism must be lodged against this book, it is only that its brevity is such that it scarcely warrants being published as a separate volume. It could easily have been appended to the preceding book, ALL GOD'S CHILDREN NEED TRAVELING SHOES. The fact that the end of the book comes so quickly forces the reader to wonder whether Angelou tired of her writing project, ran headlong into an ultimate publishing deadline, or wished to eke out a bit more recompense from her publisher by forcing one additional volume through his presses.

                                    Some of the preceding autobiographical volumes have been described as having perhaps a bit too much virulence against Whites, perhaps a little too much hyperbole concerning the enduring effects of historical slavery. Some of Angelou's statements reveal a "reverse racism," to use one of her own phrases. Of course, the social climate in the United States during much of Angelou's life hardly engendered loving relations between White and Black citizens, yet the non-aggression of a Martin Luther King grew and matured in this environment, making Angelou's strident condemnations of the White population as much a factor of her own personality as of her social environment, and, after many pages, that stridency becomes tiresome. This final volume, however, is free of such hostility and is much more accepting of good people regardless of their color.

                                    In brief, if one has read the first five volumes of Angelou's autobiography, then by all means do finish with this sixth one. On the other hand, picking this one up and reading it first will deprive the reader of an accurate appreciation of Angelou's artistry, in both its strengths and its weaknesses, as a prose writer and may well leave the reader with a complete mis-perception of Angelou's autobiographical books. Angelou's autobiographical series is one of those things that really should be experienced in the order of their creation, and doing so will give the reader a captivating view of this most unusual author and poet.

                                    4 out of 5 stars About the unabridged audio version.......2005-05-11

                                    About the book: She tells her story in wonderfully simple, delightfully entertaining narrative. As a very young woman when I read her first autobiographical installment (I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings) I became an ardent fan of her craft. Her story gave me entrance into a sisterhood; some of her poetry still stirs and inspires me.

                                    However, in my listening experience, most authors (even some of my favorites) should NOT read their own works for audio publication. Maya Angelou is no exception. Instead of being transported into her experience, I heard a reading--and not (in my opinion) a particularly memorable one.

                                    Nevertheless, Ms. Angelou remains, without doubt, a voice of the time and a woman of vast accomplishment. Well dang, one person can't be perfect in all things now can they?! LOL!

                                    Nick short A song flung up to heaven book review
                                    3/4/04

                                    There were a lot of things I found in the book a song flung up to heaven. One of those things I found was that it was very insightful. I learned a lot about the history of blacks and whites in the United States. The chapters in the book could be very complex and sometimes very maundering. Maya Angelo is one of those writers that writes one chapter and explains that chapter in the next. Once you read one chapter she builds it so you can understand the second chapter. From my read prospective and reading level I found the book very easy to understand. The reading was very mature and infer stable. Her style is like a poem except in does not rhyme.

                                    The book a song flung up to heaven is an autobiography on a famous and by my option the best poet and writer ever. This book is one of the six books in her series. At the beginning it betrays her life as a black woman on a plan heading for the United States. She is one board a plain full of whites. The time was 1960 and blacks and whites would rage war to each other. Maya is forced to coop with the lost of one of her closed friends Malcolm x at the beginning of t he book. After the death of a close friend Malcolm x Angelou feels there is no reason for her to stay in America, but soon realizes that she needs to be part of the black community and fighting against poverty and saving the rights of blacks and pour people. During the novel she goes many different trials she is forced to understand the truth behind the fact that even blacks can be anti-black. She also talks of a controlling lover from Africa who she says "he tears my heart out of my chest and wars it on his shoulder". This is saying that the lover she had was taking away what she wanted to in life and not allowing her to for fill her wants and needs. She then realizes than she needs to live life for her self and is able to leave him. When Malcolm x died she was very angry and confused do to how they forgot about what contributions he gave to team.

                                    Maya angelus is not afraid to use dialoged that may be offensive because she is confident with what she writes. For example- the use of the word "niggard" because she is black and it might help the reader under stand the substance.

                                    Maya Angelo is a writer and a person who has fought along with the black community and protected the blacks and pours people what she writes. She is a visionary though her autobiography- miss Angelo shows her option about the angry nature between the blacks and whites. She does this se well that her option becomes our opion.She carried the weight of t h black people on her back. She still supports the pour and black commodity in what she writes in her books and poems.

                                                      At the close of the 18th century the Ottoman Empire still had huge military potential. It was a complex structure of military provinces, autonomous regions and virtually independent 'regencies'. The Ottoman Empire had a larger population than its land could actually support which resulted in bloated cities, migration to under-populated mountainous areas, widespread banditry and piracy. It also meant that Ottoman armies had a ready pool of military manpower. With numerous illustrations, including eight full page colour artworkss by Angus Mcbride, this fascinating text by David Nicolle explores the armies of the Ottoman empire from 1775 until 1820.

                                                      there were quite a few factual errors which defeated the purpose of my buying this book. it was too simplistic and slightly biased/written from a western point of view and not a academic study. author needs to look much more in detail to the Ottoman forces in the Balkans, Middle East and North Africa which showed quite many differentiating points as well as similiar.

                                                      An updated survey of the partition of Cyprus. In a compelling study of great-power misconduct, Christopher Hitchens examines the events leading up to the partition of Cyprus and its legacy. He argues that the intervention of four major foreign powers, Turkey, Greece, Britain and the United States, turned a local dispute into a major disaster. In a new afterword, Hitchens reviews the implications of the Republic of Cyprus's applications for European union membership, the escalating regional arms race between Greece and Turkey, and last year's Greek Cypriot protests along the partition border.

                                                      1 out of 5 stars Propaganda disguised as historical account.......2007-01-07

                                                      What is there to say about this book? Any serious reader of history will very quickly recognize this for what it is - an account of a conflict told from the perspective of one side. The attempt to make it appear impartial is quite pathetic. Well, at least he admits that he undertook the project in a fit of anger - it shows! I am really sorry I spent money on this book.

                                                      5 out of 5 stars the truth.......2006-06-20

                                                      I applaud Hitchens for his important contribution to this serious issue of human rights negligence. America has to start taking responsibility for some of its fatal errors. This book will definately open your eyes to a country that really needs American political pressure now!

                                                      Aw, the poor blameless Greeks...victims after all, give me a break! These two countries have been either fighting or kissing for centuries! It seems to me the Western world is just falling into the same old trap of "if their Chirstian, they must be okay" syndrome. We all forget how powerful the Greek empire was, and why is it from the hundreds of Greeks and Turks I know drop the hatred of each other as soon as they step onto american soil? COMMON GROUND...set Cyprus and it's people both Greek and Turk free...they'll do fine without their mother countries and all of us and our uninformed opinions....why is it anytime Turks are part of the subject of a book, even a cookbook, they are told how evil they are by the reviewers? This review should be about the book, not how much an reader hates other people...creepy...

                                                      3 out of 5 stars Incomplete.......2003-10-07

                                                      The author's lack of research or lack of displaying his findings is evident from the first pages which mentions the Turkish conquest at Famagusta ends with the brutal flaying of the Italian commander. However if a research was conducted into this event then it would be found that the Turkish commander had made approach to the Italian commander in truce giving compliments to the bravery and endurance shown, and had asked for the release of the Turkish prisoners. Satisfying this the Italian commander and his troops was promised a safe passage back to his motherland. But history reveals that the Italian, had instead ordered the killing of the Turkish prisonsers, which in response to this the Turkish commander was angered and ordered the same be carried out to the Italian commander. It is this kind of vacuum of facts that are often left in books which unfortunately does not portray the absolute truth. Although this book does attempt to remain unbiased, it shys away from the mention of alarming events which would prove that the Turkish military intervention (known to Turks as the Peace Operation) was necessary to establish a peace on the island by seperating the two ethnic communities, after one of them containing the Greek Cypriot Junta planned an ethnic cleansing of the Turkish Cypriots.

                                                      This book merely concentrates on the behind the scenes events , dealings and possible motives between four nations, with not so much discussion of the Turkish participation.

                                                      Such books need to address the issue that the politics revolving around the events, leading to the Military Operation, were taken advantage of by outside powers to establish their own needs within the region. Some form of action had to be taken by some entity in order to protect the Turkish Cypriots, with all else failing (UN Peace keeping forces) including diplomacy between Turkey, Greece, Britain and USA, the result was the military operation. The point is that human life had to be protected and Turkey acted as a last resort in the way that it did. Therefore such history books must be wary when they lack they lack any mention of the social circumstances that would set the scene.

                                                      The 'Genocide Files' by Harry Scott gives a good acount of the actual events between the two communitites that will simplify the Cyprus issue in understanding the stance taken by Turkey.

                                                      5 out of 5 stars The turks waded ashore and Christians were massacred.......2003-09-14

                                                      We all know the story of Cyprus, well actually none of us do. None of us remmmeber what happaned at Famagusta. The Muslims were sieging the city and the indegenous CHristians were praying to god to help them. Then the Muslims lured the christian leader out under flag of truce. In front of the city the muslims cut his skin off him and stuffed it with hay, he was still alive to see his skin hanging on a dummy body. THis is typical 'peaceful' muslim behavior of course but what one forgets is that even with the ottoman victory the christians lived on, and currently occupy half of Cyrpus. THis would not have been the case had Kissinger and the Viscious intolerant anti-minority Tirks had their way(remmember what the turks and other 'peaceful' muslims did to the armenians?). Hitchens tells the story of Cyrpus as it happaned. How the Greek Cypriots were betrayed and how the machinations of foriegn powers brought the island to civil strife and finally turkish invasion. WIth the Turkish invasion the christians were forced to flee or be massacred, but of course like most population exchanges the only people that had to leave were the non muslims, the muslims in christian cyprus stayed put because western powers are always more benevolent(remmember what happened with India/Pakistan in 1948 how all the hindu/sihks were massacred in Pakistan but westerners get mad when one muslim dies in India). Hitchens book is an important work and not biased, it does focus to much on foriengers and does not talk about the day to day violence that overtook Cyprus prior to the invasion.
