Ware Books

Lovely Miss Judith Ware was proud. Too proud to feel sorry for herself when her family's loss of fortune forced her to earn a living. And too proud to accept the marriage proposal of the handsome, wealthy Simon Ballace, Duke of Sutton, who offered her everything but love. The duke was just as proud. Too proud to expose his grievous war wound to society's scorn. And too proud to open his heart to any woman's painful pity. With pride so powerful, could passion and love ever prove stronger...?

I think it's a wonderful romance

This book is excellent. Give it two thumbs up. It's great for ages 6-14, or maybe 100! This is a funny and exciting book. And it can show how things can seem bad, but turn out good. And great for the whole family! I'll make this short, because noone likes reading long reviews. That's all!

This delightful collection of Irish lore will tickle and touch old and young readers alike. I really enjoyed this book.

The North Apennines And Beyond With The 10th Mountain Division is a personal, eye-witness account of combat in Italy during World War II from the perspective a frontline infantryman, Private First Class Harris Dusenbery. His vivid account is enhanced with the 1945 report on the Riva Ridge Operation by Lt. Col. Henry J. Hampton who commanded the reinforced Battalion that took the Ride in a rare, truly alpine military operation. The North Apennines And Beyond is illustrated by the drawings of Wilson P. Ware and maps by Armand Casini. The North Apennines And Beyond is a remarkable account and a welcome addition to the growing body of biographical accounts of combat in the European Theater of operations.

I just finished a book, North Shore Story, by James Ware. A New Trier Grad (1972), Jim writes about the bitter and sweet memories of growing up at and around New Trier High School, located on the affluent North Shore of Chicago, Illinois.

While the names have been changed, the characters are archetypal--you are guaranteed to recognize most of them regardless of where you went to school.

This project has been a long time in the making. Previous editions of the dictionary have kept pace with the recognition, since the early 1970s, of women's importance to American culture. But it has been awhile since the last update, and now here we are with what amounts to obituaries for hundreds of prominent women who died, say, between 1976 and 1999.

They hail from many fields, including art, writing, science, acting, business, sport, psychology, the military, theory, aviation, religion, and humanitarianism. Some worked with animals, like Dian Fossey. And some come from no field at all. Look at Jackie O, who is listed rather lamely as "First Lady, editor, reporter." (There's a whole category called "Socialite," which includes such long running venerables as Pamela Harriman and Alice Longworth.) And there are other unlikely articles such as the one on Valerie Solanas. That is part of what makes the book such a rich stew. There's something to read for just about everyone and I recommend reading a different letter every day, soon you will have caught yourself up with everyone.

You'll find yourself reading about women you never heard of, as well as those you always wished you knew more about. One weakness of the system is that practically everyone gets written about to the same extent, so that Martha Graham receives the same word count as (say) someone who lived for a much shorter time--for example, Gilda Radner. This leads to a certain imbalance I think, but it's interesting nevertheless.

In some cases editors Wake and Braukman have brought out the really big guns, hiring the biographers to digest their books into the length of a long column. For example, Margot Peters writes about Lynn Fontanne; He;en Sheehy on Eva Le Gallienne. It is spooky how many of these women died at age 79! Surely this must be a dangerous age for the notable.

I wonder also that some experts were able to write across genre; thus the same scholar completes a fine job on Ella Fitzgerald and another on the novelist Ann Petry. You'd think you would need different muscles to do a good job on, but apparently not! Pat Kirkham writes on Clare Potter, Vera Maxwell, AND Ray Eames! I guess if you had enough time and chutzpah you could work up a listing for just about anybody, but in this case Pat Kirkham was hit each one out of the park--it's a trifecta! For a reference book to be a pleasure to read, that's a rarity. Latch on to this volume, keep it by your bedside or rocker. It's grand.

Steven Schonefeld's book "Numerical Analysis Via Derive" should be a firm 'at-the-elbow' companion for every applied mathematician. It is not only because it is so exceptionally well written (with carefully graded examples) that it serves as an excellent reference in numerical analysis per se, but it performs a real service to those using the DERIVE SYSTEM.

To the neophyte purchasing the Derive System, the only learning source that comes with the package, is Bernard Kutzler's very poor reference manual on Derive. One need only look at the index to see how difficult it is to find relevant answers to serious questions. Kutzler's manual is badly put together and misses so much material. And even that material to be found is both sparse as well as poorly explained.

Schonefeld's book admirably compensates for Kutzler's lack of information by showing, in clear examples, all of Derives criticakl procedures.

I highly recommend Shonefeld's book if only to help students get a solid grip on Derive and learn to use it for all its potential.

Very highly recommended as a special holiday pick or art collection basic is the gorgeous Pacific Pattern, blending lovely color photos by Glenn Jowitt with a survey of South Pacific arts, from fiber art and videos to traditional patterns used in floor coverings and clothing. Pacific traditional patterns blend with new materials and purposes to blend old styles with new innovations - and Anthropology researcher Susanne Kuchler is the perfect choice, paired with Research Fellow Graeme Were, to explore both the artistic and anthropological roots of Pacific region art. A gorgeous history of patterns, fiber and peoples evolves.

I used the acid test for considering how well written a technical book is about my business - I gave it to my wife when she asked me some questions one day.

I have had this book on my shelf for several months and found it extremely valuable in doing some quick general research and in exploring a variety of concepts dealing with planned giving. Written for the small shop (in my opinion) that needs to develop a planned giving program, this is a well-written and easily read book covering A to Z.

Topics start with what is planned giving, move through defining and discussing philanthropy, setting up a planned giving program (first steps), pitfalls to avoid, marketing planned giving and even sample gift instruments. These are but a few of the chapters in what I think is an excellent starting point for someone new to planned gifts and how to promote them (or even a pro looking for some fresh ideas).

Ah yes, my wife. For her, this was a bit of a liberating experience - she now has a good grasp of what I do. She can converse with friends about the business of planned giving very comfortably with a much better understanding of the basics.

My niece and nephew have used the Potty Tots system and were potty trained in a fun manner. They love the Potty Tots characters and relate to them. It has a cute story and easy to learn songs. As a Family Nurse Practitioner I often recommend products to parents to help with child rearing. The Potty Tots system is so easy and fun. My 2 1/2 yr old niece is now learning "I can do it all by myself!" and called me the other day(with Mom) to report that she used the potty!
