I bought this book because it seemed to be geared towards exactly the kind of vacation I like to take, and I was planning to go somewhere in New England. The book got me started - based on the information provided I chose the White Mountains as my destination. A basic introduction is given for each region, and a general map.

The descriptions of the "active" options for each area are very thorough, and much better than any other guide I have used. It includes information for just about every outdoor activity - hiking, climbing, mountain biking, road biking, kayaking, winter sports, and more. I found it to be a good, basic introduction to the area I was visiting, but not detailed enough for the hiking I had planned. I have been to Mt. Desert Island several times, and I can say the same for that area. A few hikes are listed, but some of my favorites are not mentioned at all. It's best to get a guidebook more specific to whatever region you will be visiting, rather than relying soley on this book.

The area I found to be most lacking is the "rest easy" part. Only a few lodgings and restaurants are included for each area. I did some on-line research prior to booking, and several of the recommended places got very poor reviews from other sources. I'm glad I didn't rely entirely on this book when choosing where to stay.

Same with the recommended restaurants. My favorite restaurants in both areas (White Mountains and Mt. Desert Island) aren't mentioned at all (save for one). If I had stuck to this guide, I would have missed out on some wonderful meals.

I found the book to be a great beginning, but it was not comprehensive enough for me. I recommend it to any active traveler, but be sure to do other research as well.

Malcolm Campbell's book is a must for anyone who lives in, or visits, New England and loves to hike, explore, and just basically get away from it all. The research is amazingly detailed yet the book is brimming with character and wit, unlike many of the mass-produced guides that are on the market today: freed from the constraints of a "template," Malcolm has written a guidebook that's very much "Malcolm" while remaining extremely useful. Play Hard, Rest Easy is sort of like combining a really detailed guide with Bill Bryson's wit and panache.

After trying Regina's Herbed Ravioli Soup for the first time, I was floored at how good vegetarian could be. If this was vegetarian, I could easily convert. Well, I didn't convert, but I still grab Regina's book off the shelf from time to time, and I've never once been disappointed by a single recipe. Even my father, a devout carnivore, afraid to try new things, has always been pleased with Regina's fare. I can't wait for her second book to arrive! In the meantime, I highly recommend this book to anyone! You WON'T be disappointed!

This is from Chris, the sometimes sous chef/helper/foil for Regina on her TV series. This is the softcover version of Regina's first book, with all the same great recipes. This cookbook isn't just for vegetarians (I'm not one). It's for anyone who likes good food. If you are an omnivore, this is the perfect book to provide great meals many times every week. You won't miss a thing. If you're a vegan, just substitute non-dairy alternatives. It can move you into new cuisines with ease, fill you up, keep you light, provide wide variety, and most are fun to prepare. I ate it while we taped it. I use the book constantly at home. This book takes vegetarian eating out of bland or boring and into great tasting, filling and fun.

I highly recommend this cookbook. The recipes are quite simple to make and soooooo delicious. My two favorite things about this book is the recipes do not call for exotic ingredients, so I'm constantly referring to this for my daily cooking. And, I love the wine suggestions following each entree. I can hardly wait for her next book to come out. I own too many cookbooks, but this is the one I am constantly using on a daily basis. I can't live without it.

This book is pretty good - there are a decent number of recipes that are delicious and have become a staple in my diet.

Standouts incode New England Risotto, Polenta Mexicana, Gumbo Stew (vegan) and Stuffed Zucchini Provencal.

However, there are a few problems:
1. too much dairy: I am not vegan, but after eating a few recipes from this book, I feel cheesed out. Many of the recipes are quite heavy. The Smoked Mushroom Lasagna, which many people rave about, was too greasy, cheesy, and rich for me.

2. Butter: Regina wrote this book during brief period in which people thought butter was healthier than margarine. Therefore margarine is never mentioned, only butter. Do I really need to use so much butter?

3. Instruction problems/omissions/vagueness: Sometimes, Regina forgets to mention where a certain ingredient comes in - it's in the list, but never mentioned in the text. So you have to guess. Also, she says "add seasoning to taste" often. I wish she would provide a range, since I have no idea.

4. Recipes take more time than one would expect: The blurb on the jacket implies this is a good book for busy people ("She has found wonderful shortcuts" "without going to time-consuming extremes"), however, most of the recipes take plenty of time to make. I mostly use this book for weekend cooking.

This book would be more useful if there were estimated preparation times for each recipe.

5. There is no vegan recipe index, although I've seen this in several other cookbooks.

Faults aside, this is still a good book to have, as long as you are not vegan.

Another nice aspect is the huge variety of cheeses used in the recipes. If you are curious about what other cheeses taste like and what they are used for, this cookbook will help you explore them - Gruyere, Edam, Smoked Gouda, Provolone, etc. You'll wonder why so many people limit themselves to American, Cheddar and Mozarella.

This book is really worth the money. Last year I was asked to faciliate a retreat for a nonprofit organization. I had absolutely no idea what to do or how to start. I researched many books on retreat planning, and Retreats That Work was far and away the most comprehensive and easy to apply. It walks you through interesting exercises that provoke real dialogue and inject energy into the process. I would have been completely lost without this book. The retreat was a complete success and I was asked to repeat the process this year. I recommend this book to novices and professionals alike.

What a great resource!

Even though I was trained at a local University in facilitation and have years of experience facilitating meeting and retreats, reading Retreats That Work took my skills to a whole new level.

I've been facilitating retreats of and on for about 18 years as part of my marketing consulting business, and I've always thought I was rather good at it. However, I just facilitated a strategic planning retreat for a professional services firm AFTER reading (in great detail) Retreats That Work, and it was by far the most professional, organized, productive and dynamic retreat I've ever facilitated. The thinking in the book is so very lucid and instructive, that using it as a reference allowed me to cover all of my bases and greatly increase my confidence and creativity.

From here on out, I am going to pursue much more facilitation work, because I feel I understand the process much better than before, and having this book on my desk makes me feel like I have a senior advisor available whenever I need it.

Just to let you know, there are numerous excellent retreat exercises that are categorized to help you choose the ones appropriate to different retreat types, there is a disk with printable resources, and throughout the book, there are numerous referrals to other professional resources that the authors have found useful. I really benefited from the author's thoughts on the consultant/client relationship and tips for managing client personalities and expectations.

If anyone else has ever read a professional resource book that is as good as this one (on almost any topic) I want to hear about it - this one is by far the best one I have ever read.

McGrath's poetry combines the lyricism and lines of Whitman with 500 channels of cable television. Even though I hate the word "postmodern," that's probably the best adjective for this book. It is truly a stunning statement to the author's knowledge and grasp of American culture.

It's refreshing to see a poet who displays almost no allegiance to formal styles and is stunning in his originality.

I must confess two of my opinions concerning Mc Grath's "Spring Comes to Chicago": 1) it is an often confusing collection of lyrical thoughts and flashy originality, and: 2) it is truly one of the most gorgeous experiments in contemporary poetical forms.

I agree with one of the previous reviewers that Mc Grath immediately reminds one of Whitman and Ginsberg, especially in his use of the catalogue-length lines and his often satirical commentary on American life and living. However, he seems to lean more towards Ginsberg than Whitman, for the American Bard has not Mc Grath's and Ginsberg's sense of humor and irony. The title poem (or should I say section?) "Spring Comes to Chicago" is the closest to Ginsberg as this collection gets...the opening lines are especially familar in cadence to the famous lines from Ginsberg's polemic, "Howl."

Nevertheless, while Mc Grath's lines often remind readers of other poets (did everyone catch Williams in there too?), Mc Grath's collage of prose pieces are used in an awe-inspring and masterful way. They are not, as someone noted in a review on his "Road Atlas," simply journal sketches or a rough blue-print for the spirit of this poem. Instead, they are isolated moments where philosphical, scientific, or literary speculation bring us back to the matters the poem discusses.

My favorite device of the entire volume is the what I term "the Squirrel stitch." Mc grath playfully and sensitively writes his meditations on the habits of these creatures, sewing a few lines here, then there--- almost as if too unite the thought patterns of the poem with a common element of praise and bewilderment.

Anyway, enough of my banter. Read this collection for yourself. You will see how clearly it stands out from the muck being written and sold today. Mc Grath should stick to his guns! If he remains true to the voices recorded in the lines of "Spring Comes to Chicago" he is sure to do something more important and amazing in a future collection.

Two years ago, I sat down with this thin book and a bottle of expensive bourbon. I remember becoming aware of my breathing as I read "The Golden Angel Pancake House" and soon, without having touched any liquor yet, my head started to spin. I had forgotten that words could have such power and irresistible momentum. Only Whitman had ever done that for me.

The following day, I read "The Bob Hope Poem" in one sitting, pulled along by the language at great speed. The thing is a glorious beast of a poem, a swooping roller coaster that raises your spirits to nose-bleed heights, sends you careening downhill under 5 g's of sadness, and then redeems you with pure happiness. Never mind "I laughed, I cried" - you will gain a new understanding of emotion.

That someone can write like this is inspiring and renewing; it reminds us why poetry matters.

This book was more than good, it was great! It's almost time for the Belmont Stakes, the last jewel of the Triple Crown. But nobody thinks that Wonder's Star will win it. He finished last in the Kentucky Derby, came 3rd in the Preakness and has 40-1 shots of winning the Belmont Stakes. One day, Christina meets someone who says that he's ridden the ledgendary Seattle Slew! He gives Christina some advice before the Belmont.Now I won't tell the ending, you'll have to find out yourself. But if you're a fan of Wonder's Star,like me, you'll love the ending!

Being a fan of the TB series for 3 or 4 years now, I was slightly disappointed in this book. First of all, I am wondering what happens to Parker (he is becoming my fave character), and after reading this, to me, it seems like the authors made a mistake in Christina's college decision. I know her situation is fairly real, but it seems too much like they're making her all of sudden rethink her decision too much. Also, I don't think Sam should be...burden with her 'surprise', although it may introduce some new characters :) It was alright, but lately the TB books have been...different. Hopefully they'll get better from here on out.

I loved this book, though it wasn't my favorite. I don't understand why they put in the part with Legacy and why they are doing books centering on other famous thoroughbreds (Seattle Slew). But I still liked how they drew out Mel and Christinia's relationship and that they want to repair it. Also, there were parts in the book where Chris was trying to supress her feelings for Parker, but when he told her he missed her, she just sighed and didn't tell him exactly how she felt, which I think she should have done. Hopefully they will get officially back together in later books.
All in all, a good book, but I hope the next ones are better.

I couldn't stop reading it and I finished it in 2 days! Great book, I can't wait for the next one!!

Taos artists have risen above the label of "regional"
Helpful Votes: 10 out of 11 total.
Review Date: 1999-07-25
The occasional case of the mad artist -- gaunt, ragged and living solely in his own creative mind -- has dominated our view of how art is created. In fact, patronage was and is the medium in which most art is created. This beautifully printed book casts a clean scholarly light into this remarkable relationship of artist and patron. While doing so the authors also examine how the demands and desires of daily living and the strains and strengths of personal relationships -- spouses, lovers, friends -- play upon the same chords that the patron touches, for good or ill. All are amply documented by the authors and as with all biography the telling anecdote best reveals the character of the subject. The fact that for decades a fertile art community existed a thousand miles or more from patrons and markets raises the question of whether indeed something special for the art world was going on in Taos. Easily dismissed by many as regional artists in the past, the Taos artists are put in a context by the authors' examination of the skein of relationships stretching to Taos. I would think that the world of art scholarship on that basis alone needs to respond to this well-focused work by examining other colonies, schools and concentrations of artists in the history of our country, for the purpose of finding how those stories of patronage compare. On its face alone the art reproduced in this fascinating book makes the case for the importance of the Taos artists as American artists. But the patronage story raises this question: Why did big city people, living and creating the big story of its time -- industrial, urbanizing America -- choose to support the painters in the desert? It seems to be a paradox. Or is it? We await the next study in depth of artists and their patrons. "Taos Artists and Their Patrons" has set the height of the bar. I hope the authors of this book stay in the game for the next book.

Among the finest books written on American art patronage

Review Date: 1999-10-04
While the literature on American art history has grown enormously during the last several decades, that devoted to patronage remains very scarce, usually directed toward single supporters such as Luman Reed and Mrs. Jack Gardner. Taos Artists and Their Patrons is probably the finest study to appear devoted to a single school of painting, that which arose in Taos in New Mexico at the end of the nineteenth century. The authors have thoroughly investigated all aspects of patronage--exhibitions, individual advocates, institutional support, and many other forms. At the same time, they have presented what must be the finest study of the work of the artists active in Taos, embellished by a wealth of marvellous images, beautifully reporduced. The book enjoys three major accomplishments: it is a definitive study of the nature of American art patronage; it is a thorough review of one of the most important regional schools of art in this country; and it's a fabulous read!

In the tradition of excellence demonstrated in his book "Victor Higgins, An American Master", Dean Porter, along with Teresa Ebie and Susan Campbell, has produced another visually and intellectually pleasing work.

Both artists and collectors will learn much by reading this book, for it proves that it is more than technical skill and artistic sensibility that contribute to an artist's financial and critical success.

Those who have instinctively turned to Europe and the Eastern American Artists when wanting to view fine works of art will be enlightened and surprised to learn that some of the finest works of art in this century have been produced not in Europe, but in the USA and in the Southwest in particular.

This is a beautiful and informative book for anyone interested in art, whether they be collectors or art historians or simply those who like to view magnificent works.

Dean Porter and his gifted associates have skillfully authored not only the best book ever written about the "Taos School of Art", but the most interesting and educational. Why is their book different? They departed from the standard biographical information generally available everywhere and continually repeated by other authors in every new book and took the time to bring into focus the collectors and art buyers who made it possible for the artists to make a living at their chosen profession. The many stories, glimpes, and setches of both the artists and collectors make this book most interesting and readable. There are also many new paintings never before shown in other books about this group of artist. There is also a art exhibit that compliments the book. This is a must read and must see for those who love and collect the "Taos School of Art". Like a fine red wine, you wish in your heart you could drink on forever.

I loved these books as a kid over 30 years ago. They have a perfect combination for a young girl - a club with it's own clubhouse (without being a gang), adventures, mysteries, a hint of teen romance. Excellent. I read and reread all of these as a kid. I was excited to see that they are being reprinted. I've started buying them for my friends children.

Just a warning note: the original author, Julie Campbell, is much better than the later author.

I was delighted with the boxed set of Trixie Beldon-these are all early books actually written by Julie Campbell. The stories are the orignial stories and not revised to make them current. It is my hope that my grandaughters will enjoy them and learn about life before television and computers. The books contain the orginal drawings as they appeared in the 1950s. I used to buy these books with my allowance from the the Dimestore (another relic that no longer exists). Nancy Drew was just perfect where Trixie was not a classic beauty, had faults and often got in trouble for her temper. The author describes both Trixie and her wealthy girl friend, Honey Wheeler with much detail including how they dressed, expressions used (e.g. Gleeps!), and females in assertive roles.

She thought she was going to have a BORING Summer!?),in the book you see her love for helping people and her knack for solving mysteryies shine through by the time you're done with the book(s)! She's impulsive and headstrong making her books irestible to read,I would recomend these books to ALL ages!

great for any age

I started reading Trixie Belden books when I was about 10 years old. I borrowed old copies from my mothers friend who had them all from when she was a girl. I knew that I had to have them for my daughter that I would one day have. They are fun, fast, and captivating for any young girl.

We had bought the Moon guide for Utah and upon reading it realized it wasn't very good, so had this one expressly shipped just in time for our big trip. It was worth the extra shipping costs. It's full of useful information and it covers all the National Parks in Utah (so they should really change the title). The trip wouldn't have been the same without it.

We used this book to plan, execute, and review an amazing trip through Southern Utah. The guide covers much more than the two National Parks listed in the title, including Arches NP, and Capital Reef NM, among others. Not only was it extremely accurate, but it was remarkably entertaining to read. This book is a must-have for anyone venturing into this beautiful part of the country.

This was an invaluable resource for our 16 day trip to southern Utah. This book also includes information for the other national parks in Utah. We used it every day on our trip.

This book is the best and most informative source of useful information for visitors to the national parks of southern Utah that I have found. It provides information on: the most popular hikes, popular restaurants, good camping sites, activities, descriptions of geology, flora and fauna, and brief histories of the early cultures, explorers and settlers. The book is very well written by authors who obviously know their stuff. All material is presented clearly and concisely and in a manner that enhances its usefulness. I recommend this book whole heartedly.

Great little book. I do not know why it is named "Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks". This book covers all the national parks, monuments and State Parks in Utah. For each area, the book gives information on what to see depending on the amount of time you have to visit(half day, one, two, three or more days). For each location it gives you the sights to see, trails to hike and other activities to do in the area. Along with places to stay (Hotels, Motels and campgrounds), places to eat, equipment rental and more. This book is small enough to put into your glove box.

I love this book!!! It was about this girl, Hattie Campbell, her two brothers, and her parents. They decide to go to Oregon after a steamboat captain offers them a free trip to anywhere. What happened was, Hattie's Uncle Milton was fixing the roof, and he fell off and died instantly. A few days later at the funeral, Uncle Milton's coffin slid into the river, and then the steamboat ran over it, taking the top of the coffin and Uncle Milton with it. They set off on their journey, led by a mountain man, with people from Missouri and different places. Hattie makes friends with twins named Pepper and Wade. Pepper is shy, but Wade isn't. In fact, he tells Hattie a "nasty" joke on one of the first days on the trip. Hattie also makes friends with grown ups, including a couple named Mr. and Mrs. Bigg (Their name has nothing to do with their size) and finds out a startling secret about another member. This book had an element of foreshadowing and flashback, because they have her sister's trunk, but Hattie doesn't have a sister. In all this book was very entertaining and it was hard to put down.

You will love this book!

This book tells, in diary format, the story of Hattie Campbell and her family on the Oregon Trail. It starts out in Booneville, Missouri at Hattie's birthday. They travel by steamboat to Independence, and go west. Along the way, Hattie meets and makes friends with Pepper and Wade, who are twins, Gideon, and Mrs. Bigg. She also encounters a thief. The trail is filled with many dangers, including food poisoning, deaths, rivers, mountains, etc. You have to read the book to find out what happens to Hattie and her friends and family. I would recommend this book to anybody who is interested in pioneers, excitement, and dangers, or who is a fan of Kristiana Gregory's work or a fan of the Dear America series. This book is one of the best in the Dear America series, as Kristiana Gregory has once again done a superb job in the research and writing.

Hemlock is very posion even if you take a little bite.It would kill you but she did not know until after wards?She had killed one little girl that she got to know real well she even thought of her as a little sister.She also had gave the posion to a boy named Wade that she had a crush on sence the being of the trail.But he had lived from the posion.ANd know Hattie know if she wants a boyfriend she can posion them first..

Campbell does a very descriptive job of a family with a great deal of dysfunction. The story takes on an unexpected turn, which keeps the reader engaged. This is a story of strength, courage, and hope for a well-written character. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and would recommend this first time writer.

Great Job Dawn!!

This book was one of the best books I have ever read! The combination of a very serious subject and a beautiful romance just kept me reading until my eyes wouldn't stay open anymore. I couldn't put the book down. Rita is a very strong, beautiful woman who falls in love. The love that is given to her in return is well-deserving and puts a hope in everyone that true love is attainable no matter what your background.

Thanks, Dawn, for such a wonderfully inspiring story. Please hurry with the next book!! I am a fan forever!!

The story line in billy's prayers was very well written because it was hard for me to put the book down. I finished this story in about two weeks.(I'm not a fast reader) This book made me cry,laugh,get very angry and feel sorry. My favorite person was rita. I felt sorry for rita mother. It's said but true of how much phyical and mental abuse goes on in this world today. I'm glad to see a well written book that address the abuse.
great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you
