Richardson Books

I loved this book! It's a good story about stage fright. Kids that want to become ballerina's will probably love this book too!

The reason Ms. Richardsons work ends up in the finest museums is clearly in evidence here. The pictures are easy to live into and fairly "pull" the viewer in.
Well done!

This book is filled with crystal clear images of Woodland Ways, a wilderness survival and rites of passage summer camp in Harlemville NY, as well as a few local family pictures. On each page is one beautiful, large photo, and with no caption, the viewer is able to interpret each scene purely and unfettered. The book's colorful pictures evoke a sense of wonder, and will grace plenty of coffee tables and begin even more conversations. For art and nature-lovers alike this is a must have.

I like the way the case studies are divided into diseease categories. The questions with the case studies brought out a lot of discussion from my students. I thought it helped with their critical thinking.

It remains one of the great mysteries of history how the Spanish Civil War came to be viewed as a struggle of Democracy versus Fascism, when, in fact, it was actually a battle between Soviet Communism and Conservative Reactionaries. Part of the explanation can be found in Richardson's excellent little book, which describes how, through and through, the International Brigades were creatures of the Kremlin, with the sole intent the sovietization of Spain. He tells the tale of the recruitment of this Red Foreign Legion, which had two main goals; the defense of the Spanish Rrepublic and as a propaganda and training tool to promote international communism.
While many if not most in the media today continue to characterize Franco as the fascist bad guy, aided by Hitler and Mussolini, this conflict demonstrates how fuzzy the whole issue of fascism vs democracy vs communism really was back then. As it turns out, Hitler was absolutely right in his assertion that Spain had to be saved from Bolshevism, am opinion that the western democracies blithely ignored. Unfortunately, many Spaniards have been so propagandized to hate Franco that the truth has been obscured. And it is today simply politically unthinkable to even suggest that Hitler could have actually done the right thing while democratic stalwarts like Roosevelt did nothing but mouth platitudes.
Reichardson's book is an outstanding example of how personal recollections and archival research can create a compelling view of a significant aspect of a little-known war. Highly recommended to any student of communism or pre-war Europe.

Roman's Concise History of East and West Florida is invaluable for students of the early American landscape. Romans describes the topography, people, plants and animals of Alabama and Mississippi in the 18th Century. Highly recommended.

I like to buy books about "coop himmelblau", however, all the book about the firm is out of print. Please let me know when you get the books about them. The book is about architecture and they are famous architect.

The most useful work I have seen on the important topic of lead poisoning prevention policies.
