This seller was quick in getting the book out to me. Product was as advertised.

I found this book inspirational (her pictured collages are beautiful) and helpful, even for a rank beginner like me. Her instructions are clear and step-by-step, and it seems like a process simple enough to do, although time-consuming enough that I'll have to block out an afternoon to get started. She gives lots of ideas for embellishments for your collage, and I like it that most of them are easily available. I gave it five stars because I don't find any glaring omissions or problems.If you're looking for a craft that emphasizes color and texture, and simple enjoyment, this sure looks to be one to try.

A case had been built against Marie-Joseph Angelique based on innuendo, insinuation, hearsay and Angelique's bad reputation.Under severe torture, the 29-year-old woman, who previously proclaimed her innocence admitted to setting fire to the home of her owner. This fire consumed 46 buildings in Old Montreal. After the grisly execution Angelique's corpse was left hanging for two hours for all to see, then was burnt. That should have been the end of Angelique but 270 years later she has arisen. Thanks to Afua Cooper.
In fact through her thorough research Ms Cooper delves into much of the historical occurences of the time. She puts to rest that myth that there was no slavery in Canada. She opens wide the doors of an unjust justice system.
This is not just Black history but Canadian - even world history. It should be required reading for all students of history.

This carefully edited and informative work provides up-to-date scholarship and insights into this important era of American History. An outstanding choice for undergraduate literature and history courses.

I read this book years ago, and it forced me into a love of poetry. Beyond simple poetry, many of his works can be described as essay-poems. They are deep, (often) extremely personal, expond on a simple truth of nature, but in a way that must be re-read and pondered; bringing greater awareness and "life" as a result. His other works are excellent, with varying themes, but this stands slightly above ALL others. I have literally loned my book to dozons of people to read who usually share my opinion. Not an easy read at all, but always wise, insightful, volnerable, and true.

In his "Education," Henry Adams declared: "Strictly, the Southerner had no mind; he had temperament. He was not a scholar; he had no intellectual training; he could not analyze an idea, and he could not even conceive of admitting two." It is this "slur" which Professor O'Brien (author of the awesome "Conjectures of Order" and other tomes on Southern intellectual history) posits at the center of this most interesting volume. So,upon what experiences did Adams base his rather pessimistic assessment? One source of contact with the South was his grandmother Louisa Catherine Johnson Adams, originally from Maryland, wife of John Quincy Adams. Much space is devoted to Louisa, perhaps too much, but this chapter does afford an interesting perspective on the formative stages of young Henry. More pertinent is the chapter on Henry Adams period of living in Washington and how this afforded him first-hand opportunities to encounter Southern traditions and attitudes. Any student of Adams will find this chapter irresistible. Another chapter ("American Types") focuses upon Charles Francis Adams, Jr., Henry's elder brother, who served extensively in the Civil War, and his potential influence. However, there is much fascinating information in this chapter aside from CFA, Jr., including a discussion of some of Henry's earlier writings which related to the South (the Randolph biography, e.g.) and his two novels. Finally, the author focuses upon Adams' later works (Mont-Saint-Michel and Chartres and the Education) to probe the mature Adams view on Southern culture. Along the way there are interesting detours, such as some comments about W.J. Cash's "Mind of the South" and why there is definitely some sensitivity and defensiveness on this topic which linger even until today. Many interesting illustrations are included, among them some fine pictures taken by Clover Adams. The notes are extremely valuable. I don't know if we ever get to the point of completely understanding what causative factors shaped Adams' views of the South, or even if we are exposed to the entire range of his views, but this book is absolutely essential for gaining an invaluable insight into Adams.

Great reading, it is a look into life from the past that gives
hope for the future.

I keep rereading this book. A fascinating discussion of modernism that illuminates two powerful characters. New York is the perfect subject for these women.
