Book Description

"The lasting benefits Texas has received from its Germans mark our place names, our historic records, even our food and drink. Dr. Jordan's [book] makes this clear and is a valuable contribution to Texana."

—Dallas Morning News

"Detailed with maps, charts and pictures, the book is excellent reading for many Texans whose ancestors came to Texas direct from Europe."

—San Antonio Express

". . . an eminently readable book . . . in its recording of the adaptation of a transplanted human population to a new environment."

—West Texas Historical Association Year Book

"If one of my colleagues in American history asked me for a good book in geography, I would give him this one."

—Economic Geography

Terry Jordan explores how German immigrants in the nineteenth century influenced and were influenced by the agricultural life in the areas of Texas where they settled. His findings both support the notion of ethnic distinctiveness and reveal the extent to which German Texans adopted the farming techniques of their Southern Anglo neighbors.

Book Description

This symposium was devoted to the so-called minor bodies in the Solar System, and their mutual interrelationships. Asteroids, comets and meteors provide essential information on the history of the Solar System, starting with the early phases of planetary formation, until the present epoch. Different evolutionary processes have shaped the physical characteristics of the populations of minor bodies. Among them, collisional phenomena have played an essential role, as has been generally recognized by modern planetary research. This symposium was one step in the effort to sketch a general unifying scenario of the properties of the different populations of minor bodies, which are generally studied by separate scientific communities. In particular, the most recent findings on the interrelationships between asteroids, comets and meteoroids suggest that an interdisciplinary approach should be preferred. Only in this way can the properties of different populations of minor bodies be interpreted in the framework of a coherent picture of the history and evolution of the Solar System.

Book Description

Offers an overview of recent advances in multiphase polymeric materials, ranging from theoretical aspects of polymer miscibility and phase separation kinetics to bulk, surface and interface properties in polymeric materials. This work considers the possibility of a nondestructive methodology to investigative multiphase polymers based mainly on a scattering technique that is sensitive to changes in the phase behaviour of multicomponent polymer systems.

Book Description

Leading By Example: Partisan Fighters & Leaders Of New France, 1660-1760. Volume One - Bob Bearor. Out of the beautiful but harsh Canadian wilderness came the rugged leaders who defended New France from Britain as those two countries struggled for control of North America. Unfortunately, the extraordinary accomplishments of these great partisan leaders often become lost in the telling of the larger story of the colonial conflicts.

In this new series of books by one of our most popular authors, these partisan leaders once again seem to take on flesh and blood, and their heroic deeds shine with adventure and courage. Truly, the partisans' greatest loss might not have been to the English in the conquest and surrender of 1763, but in the loss of their fame and glory to today's readers.

Volume One tells the stories of two great partisans, Jacques LeMoyne de Ste. Hélène and Charles-Michel de Langlade. Ste. Hélène led the grueling winter attack on Schenectady and battled brilliantly in the siege and battle of Quebec in 1690. The other nine LeMoyne brothers, who were some of the greatest leaders in New France's history, are also discussed in Ste. Hélène's chapter.

Langlade's fame and reputation for fearlessness grew out of his roles in the 1752 attack on Pickawillany, Braddock's Defeat on the Monongahela and, ultimately, the battle for Quebec.

A brief chapter on primitive trekking describes the tools and techniques that enabled the partisans to survive under the most extreme and demanding conditions.

Veteran Heritage Books author Bob Bearor received the Croix de St. Louis from his fellow reenactors in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the field of living history. An expert in 18th-century woods warfare and survival techniques, he served as a consultant to the BBC production, "Ray Mears' Extreme Survival" which featured Rogers' Rangers and the St. Francis Raid. His previous books rank among our best-sellers: The Battle on Snowshoes and French and Indian War Battlesites: A Controversy.

This book is generously illustrated with photos and artwork, and contains a fullname index. 2002, 98 pp., illus., index, paper

Great book on little known subject........2006-06-20

This is a great book filled with information not generally known about the French and Indian War.I own all of Bob Bearor's books now and find him to be a superb writer and excellent storyteller.History is written by the winners, so there was not much info on the French side of things until recently.I recommend all of Bob's books to anyone interested in the other side of the conflict that really determined our country's future.

Newfoundland Outport Tales from a US Doctor.......2005-10-03

Dr. Ecke's accounts are told with a bit of sterility, but he certainly enjoys his time in Newfoundland. It was a time when medical cures were limited, and the rural diet was a "made do" affair, but the people's spirit is contrasted against the stark landscape. Recommended read, especially for those familiar with the area or with ties to Notre Dame Bay, NF

Book Description

Jonathan F. Beecher's accomplished study is both a lively life story of one of the most engaging figures among the French romantic intellectuals of the 1840s and a compelling chronicle of early French socialism. Victor Considerant (1808-1893), a follower of the great utopian thinker Charles Fourier, played an important role in the creation of a Fourierist movement and the development of socialist journalism. In the process of conveying a rich understanding of Considerant's life, Beecher traces the rise and fall of French romantic socialism and demonstrates how the utopian visions of thinkers such as Charles Fourier came to inspire a whole generation of young radicals and reformers not only in France but also in Dostoevky's Russia and in the America of Horace Greeley and Margaret Fuller. He paints a vivid portrait of a particularly important period of European intellectual history and gives his readers insight into the experience of a generation of thinkers and political activists. This comprehensive history will become the definitive work on Victor Considerant, and--along with Beecher's classic study of Fourier--a major contribution to the history of French socialism in the nineteenth century.

Book Description

Two children, as yet unknown to each other, spend blissful summer and winter holidays in the beautiful resort of Sinaia in Romania's Carpathian Mountains. A world war and Communist occupation soon erases everything of those idyllic times except for their memories. Years later they meet in America and marry, their abiding love of mountain life a strong bond between them. Each summer they are drawn to the beautiful forests of Yosemite where they spend joyous days recreating the life they knew as children. Finally, at New Sinaia, their mountain cabin in the San Bernardino Forest, they make a permanent mountain home. Their journey through the summers at Yosemite and in establishing New Sinaia abounds with scenes of natural beauty and riotous episodes of human foibles, and with a rich variety of colorful characters -- human and animal. Accompanied by good music, good food, and the satisfaction that comes from creating a legacy for their son and grandchildren, this tale unfolds like a meandering walk through the woods, delight at each step along the path.

This is a charming patchwork of travelogue and memoir, told by a grown woman still possessed of the wonder and exuberance of a young girl bundled warmly on a sled, flying over the snowy fields of old Sinaia.

The drawings are made by the author, except for the Wawona Hotel drawing. (Nadja)

The hills are alive..........2001-04-17

The hills are alive...and in ways we might not notice if it weren't for such keen-eyed observers as Shari Hermes. This is a unique memoir, especially when you consider how easily the writer could have capitalized on the more dramatic aspects of her life (and justifiably so). Orphaned at eight in World War II, brought up by a series of relatives, escaping from Hungary during the 1956 Revolution, she lets those facts speak for themselves. Instead, she treats us to a series of colorful vignettes of happy years in Yosemite Park and in the San Gabriel mountains where she and her husband establish a mountain home.

An inveterate hiker, nothing along the mountain trails escapes her notice and she is quick to report on it all. A cook who shares her menus and recipes, along with her mistakes, ("next time, bake at...") an admittedly physical coward (she is spooked by a fellow hotel guest, by a waitress's talk of killer bees -- "non-homicidal bees" are bad enough, thank you), a demanding taskmaster of herself as well as others (even sunsets get demerits when they prove unspectacular), and a nervous mother hen when her son ventures too far out on rocky ledges, this writer seems to spill it all, sparing no one, least of all herself, in her original and often hilarious judgments. She pays loving attention to the details of the natural world, and to the lives of those she encounters, and to the feeding and comfort of her guests. Reading this book is like sitting down with a cup of coffee and talking to an old friend.

The author's speech patterns and cadence may be distracting at first, but once you realize that they probably reflect her native tongue, they add to the charm of the narrative. Peppered as it is with menus and recipes and (especially in the first part) divided into definite time periods, this is a book you can browse if you want to. A great vacation read.

Book Description

In a cool, authoritative and gently ironic biography, Don Baker considers the life of the fiery John Dunmore Lang.

A tireless doer, Lang established the Scots Church in Sydney and his own secondary school. He was a populist politician in colonial New South Wales, ran three newspapers and circled the globe eight times, writing one or two books during most voyages.

Volatile and vindictive, Lang loved a fight and answered only to God. Yet he was a hero to ordinary workers and a perceptive critic of the treatment of Aboriginal people.

Customer Reviews:

Disappointing.......2005-10-30

I found this book extremely disappointing and agree with other reviewers that the author seemed more interested in aggrandizing himself through association with Mapplethorpe. Fritscher also seems intent on producing this biography to prove that Mapplethorpe selected him, rather than Patricia Morrisroe, as biographer. The writing is annoying, frequently repetitive, and skips all over the place chronologically. The book comes across more as a collection of magazine/newspapers articles rather than a coherent whole.

A Lasting Snapshot of Photographic Genius.......2005-01-05

Few artists have been mythologized as quickly and as completely as the late Robert Mapplethorpe. The incredible life of the controversial photographer is given new focus in the biography Mapplethorpe: Assault with a Deadly Camera by friend, confidant, and former lover Jack Fritscher. Insider knowledge of the man humanizes a complex individual who has become obscured by his art and by the scourge of censorship.
This revealing portrait by Hastings House publishers shows Mapplethorpe from his early days as a fledgling photographer. As the former editor of Drummer magazine, it was Fritscher who gave Mapplethorpe his first magazine cover. The biography traces his rise to prominence as the avant-garde photographer of the New York art scene, his sexual obsessions, his ongoing relationship with punk legend Patti Smith, his drug use, his submersion into leather culture, his love of beauty, his theories on art, and much more. Into the narrative Fritscher weaves a fair amount of artistic exploration and examination as well.
Mapplethorpe: Assault with a Deadly Camera also contains a generous number of photos and a gold mine of data about not only Robert Mapplethorpe, but about the larger scope of the gay leathersex New York scene of the late 70s and early 80s. Fritscher explores somewhat extensively the great creators of the erotic image from that period such as Rex, as well as those on the photographic cutting edge such as Joel-Peter Witkin. By exploring Mapplethorpe's influences as well as his life, Fritscher provides the reader with a wider understanding not only of the artist, but also of his world and times.

Many authors wrote this book by Fritscher.......2004-04-27

By chasing down lots of interviews, author Fritscher manages to have several friends of Mapplethorpe compose their thoughts of robert and his photographs. The beauty of this book is the multiple voices speaking which Fritscher takes the time to present to honor Mapplethorpe. He could have had the last word himself--after all, he had the book contract and was the man's sometime lover. This Mapplethorpe memoir is actually written by the following artists and personalities who Fritscher presents--AND LETS SPEAK IN THEIR OWN VOICES WHICH HE COLLECTED: GEORGE DUREAU, HOLLY SOLOMON, CAMILLE O'GRADY, REX, MARK WALKER, THE INCREDIBLE MILES EVERETT, EDWARD LUCIE-SMITH, JOEL-PETER WITKIN. (Yes, this book is scary, and it gets scarier as time goes by and our culture becomes more puritanical. It's also a good reference book of those times and events that are now so far back in the past.

Mildly interesting, mostly annoying and self-aggrandizing........2004-01-11

It's been about two years since I read this book, but its lingering effect is extreme irritation with the writer. Fritscher is clearly far more interested in himself than in Mapplethorpe, and boastfully uses the subject of his "biography" (term used charitably) as little more than a tool with which to broadcast his own (clearly exaggerated) influence on -- and involvement with -- the photographer. While I don't doubt that Fritscher played a small role in Mapplethorpe's life and art, I don't for a second believe that it was even a tiny fraction of what he'd like you to believe. Jack, you were one of a large pool of pornographers and one of an even more humongous population of RM's lovers. This bio reeks of little more than self-promotion and self-promoting fiction, and the fact that it was penned posthumously makes it even more disgusting and annoying.

Very interesting "read" that penetrates 70s art &sex world.......2003-09-03

Written as a tell-all memoir of pop culture, this book is amazing in what it tells us about lost lives in lost times. Real nostalgia. Actually, this book is loaded with "gay street credential." The fact that it has an index tells you the book seriously intends to record history's major and minor characters. Many gay pop culture books don't even bother to have an index which makes them useless. My litmus test in a book store is to first see if a book has an index, and then I skim it to see who's included and who's not, because that way I can judge the book's presentation and prejudices. Too bad Patty Smith doesn't write about Mapplethorpe and this period like his boyfriend did in writing this attack on American lying, political hypocrisy, and phoney art wackjobs. What is generously amazing is that boyfriend Fritscher seems to genuinely miss and mourne Mapplethorpe to the degree that he devotes 60% of the book to direct interviews with other Mapplethorpe art friends like George Dureau, Joel-Peter Witkin, and others who all speak for themselves.
