Cameron Books

Published by the Clan Cameron Association, this 344 page "masterpiece," by John Stewart of Ardvorlich, is dedicated "To all of the name of Cameron wherever they may dwell."

The history of Clan Cameron follows along side the history of the Camerons of Lochiel, the hereditary Chiefs of Clan Cameron. For this reason among others, this work details the Chiefs and their family from the fifteenth century through the present day. In addition, Stewart focuses on the many "tribes" and "septs" of the Camerons, those who either adopted the surname of Cameron or who followed the various Lochiels throughout the years. Coat of arms, tartans, poetry, music, Cameron "place names," and a listing of historically "famous" Camerons are also included, with twenty-five photographic plates of historical relevance.

A great read, provocative and moving. The authors tackle their story with passion. I hope they're still alive and working on a sequel.

The cat sat on many different things. A great book when your child is just beginning to learn three letter words with a short a vowel. Very nice illustrations make it accessable to younger children and a pleasure for adults as well.

*FAST* delivery and easy to deal with, highly recommended seller, A++ (Thanks!!)

Wow! I could not put The Chanonry Encounter by Steve Cameron down! It is written in an easy to read conversational style filled with suspense that kept me on the edge on my seat while finding out what the dolphins are up to. I feel I know Spike and the other characters from the book personally. I would like to run out to the Moray Firth to meet everyone! Thanks Steve, the book is wonderful and the ending a total surprise. Reading this book is time well spent!

I am biased, because Charles Baillairge', the subject is my great-grandfather; however, he is truly a fascinating man. The book focuses on his life's work of engineering and architecture, and is well researched. The book contains several illustrations. Recommended reading for those interesed in these fields, or for those interested in the history of quebec city.

Accomplished gardener Louisa Pringle Cameron and free lance photographer Lauren Preller Chambers collaborate in The Charleston Gardener to explore the lush and varied private gardens that have made the city of Charleston horticulturally famous, -- along with its numerous instances of Georgian and antebellum architecture. Brief yet thoughtful commentaries on the individual gardens showcased, along with the wonderful full-color photography, work in perfect tandem. Also very highly recommended is the previous and companion volume: The Private Gardens Of Charleston.

Had kept this book on my wish list but never got down to really placing an order .Saw it at a local bookstore in Mumbai, and picked it up mainly because of the artwork and drawings. Hats off to the team responsible for bringing facts and fiction to life in glorious detailed color.

Have read a lot on Leonardo mainly after "Da Vinci Code", but this was the first graphic book about him.

Don't think twice, just buy it!

This excellent book documents the aftermath of the August 6, 1945, atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Although an historic report, it is as captivating and as "page turning" as a good novel. The stories it recounts show both the best and the worst of what it means to be human.

Dr. Jungk, a German Jew who was imprisoned by the Nazis, is a journalist and historian without peer. He spent almost 3 years researching this book and it paid off. Children of the Ashes is an incredibly informative recount of Hiroshima's struggle to recover, intertwined with numerous "close-up" stories of individuals who survived and of people - including Americans - who to helped rebuild it.

Despite the subject being about one of the low points in recent history, the book leaves you with a positive feeling about humankind. As "history" or as simply a "story" this book so good that I cannot find a positive enough adjective to describe it. If you are interested in humanity, war, history or Japan, hunt down a copy!

(For readers in English: the copy I read was translated from the original German "Strahlen aus der Asche" by Constantine Fitzgibbon.)
