Being aware of the many benefits of herbs for a long time we are finally in a position to grow our own herb garden. Having read many books and articles I find "for the price" the content of this book offers an unequaled quick guide for living with herbs-growing and preserving instructions, tips and techniques for designing herb gardens, and ideas for herbs in the kitchen, herbal remedies and other health and personal care as well as fragrances.

This book is a mainstay in our library. It is beautifully designed and printed and is a joy to read even if you never grow your own herbs.

Nice book, but some of the materials used are British and may not be available in USA.

All Things Equal is a mind-blower if you are narrow minded and stodgy in your sacred "religious" beliefs. Author Kim Wilson's obvious love of God and passion for scriptural truth, combined with her scholarly biblical documentation and exceptional writing skills make this book a must-read for any couple seeking divine guidance in their lives. She takes the non-traditional Christian viewpoint and stance that the husband and wife are equal and one in their relationship with God and each other. The old "the man is the head of the house, and the wife shall serve him well" adage is thoroughly and convincingly debunked as truly NOT BIBLICAL! A bold undertaking indeed, and very well done, I must say.

I enjoyed the book thoroughly, and even read it through a second time. I would think it would make a good manual to keep in the home library to reference whenever those inevitable domestic conflicts occur and two people who are in love with each other and God need a bit of counsel to know the right way to move forward in His Way. This is really good God stuff!

There are many things that our Heavenly Father desires of His spiritual children. He desires for us to work for Him; He desires for us to be witnesses for Him; but His greatest desire is for us to be with Him. In this book, Apostle H. Daniel Wilson gives us biblical background and insightful Rhema about worship and the power, peace and purpose that comes out of our being Alone in His Presence.

Gail Wilson Kenna drew on actual letters written by Eugene Chase to his sister as he traveled west in search of his fortune. Kenna spins the actual events into an exciting true-life adventure, giving young readers an accurate picture of the hardships and heartaches that were found Along the Gold Rush Trail. A great supplement to the study of the history of the West.

James Flexner first wrote this book (since revised) in 1939, when he says that it was agreed that the United States had produced no worthy art, certainly not back in the late 18th and early 19th century when the four artists discussed here were painting, i.e., Benjamin West, John Singleton Copley, Charles Willson Peale and Gilbert Stuart. All of the artists were initially self-taught, or trained by artists inferior to themselves, but did later get European training. Nonetheless, Flexner maintains that at their best, they retained uniquely American characteristics, in particular an sense of realism in an era when idealization was much praised. They spent most of their time doing portraits, although some of them hated it, because Americans had no interest in landscapes, or the history paintings that were then consider particularly high-brow art.

The book has been revised before this edition was published, and some color plates were added. The plates are often rather muddy (perhaps this is because I have the book club edition.) This was later reissued in the 1990s, so perhaps the illustrations have been upgraded.

Flexner is an agreeably genial guide. Perhaps because he was initially defending works that were considered worthless when he began to write, although they were often highly regarded in their own time, he warns the reader against assuming that current taste in art is "correct." He points out the historical changes in taste, and sometimes admits to finding some works not to his own taste, but he isn't oppressively didactic. In recounting the lives of the painters, he sometimes points out obvious errors, but instead of using them to accuse the autobiographer/biographer of being a pathological liar, as many biographers do, he is willing to attribute them to honest lapses of memory if possible.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book.

I found this book was able to shed some much needed light on America's first master painters. I found Flexner's writing to be beautiful and the result of reading this book has been several trips to view the works of the artists featured within. I heartily recommend this title to all who are interested in this period of American/art history, or to those who would likee to be!
