I have dismissed his American television persona and concentrated only on his British series with food. A lot of his genius gets lost in translation, I'm afraid. It isn't his fault. It's ours! Instead of letting him perform his genius, we have made a celebrity out of him. For shame! This book is photographed so beautifully that you might forget to read the recipes! And simple they are. Simple and incredibly yummy. His division of sweets is easy-peasy. Oh, that's Jamie. Sorry. You have some summer fruit. Plain. He shows you simple syrups and toppings and cremes that you simply pour over the fruit and you have an incredible dessert that will impress your friends no end. I really like Gordon Ramsay. I do not like the persona we see on American TV. I hope that in the future the powers that be at the networks will let him do what he is best at. Create. Get rid of the young wannabe chefs. Get rid of the screaming. Just let him create. If you love desserts, and want to keep it simple but elegant, and creative, this is your book. I just love it.

beautiful as good on pastry as savory love all his books just got all of them

No wonder he's a star in Britain. Fabulous, imaginative recipes covering everything from easy cook basics to recipes you definitely need to practice! Examples - red berries with hibiscus and basil syrup; slow roasted peaches with orange caramel sauce; chocolate and thyme ice cream; apricot and cinnamon mousse; fruit tempura and many more. Not a book for beginners (he is a Michelin 3 Star chef) but very, very good.

Leopoldo Alas es un universal viviendo como provinciano pues nunca salió de España, sin embargo es impresionante su capacidad para penetrar en su actualidad histórica. Usando los principios naturalistas como nadie en La Regenta el edifica una historia sobre el cimiento de un perfecto conocimiento del lugar. Dicho de paso, lugar que el vivió y habitó, y por tanto muy bien estudiado para describirlo minuciosamente. Esta es una novela que Clarín escribió cuando tenía 33 años de edad. En apariencia la novela es provinciana por sus características, y a su vez es universal por la misma sustancia de la que es portadora.

Aquí vemos a Fermín de Paz, joven sacerdote, convertido en un instrumento codicioso, dirigido por las ambiciones de su madre, sedienta de poder quiere que su hijo se adueñe del poder eclesiástico de toda una ciudad. Ana Ozores, la más bella mujer de la burguesía regional de Vetusta le es confiada como penitente. Ella es una mujer huérfana y privada del verdadero sentimiento anhelado por todos los humanos: el amor. Es prisionera de un amor fingido con un hombre de mucha más edad, el viejo regente Víctor Quintanas. Ana es seducida por su joven confesor, sensual por naturaleza y libertino desenfrenado. Esa lucha de tentaciones es en sí el corazón que mana en La Regenta en los tres años que cubre esta historia pasional.

Siendo totalmente seducida por Fermín, Ana descubre que más que hermana de fe es victima de un amor pasional cayendo en adulterio, viendo como resultado una cadena de sufrimientos al ocurrir una tragedia entre el sacerdote y su esposo a quien mata en duelo desequilibrado, huyendo finalmente y dejando a Ana en completa soledad y abandono, rechazada por toda una ciudad.

Para entender el impacto de estas acciones imaginémonos solo por segundos la España de entonces atada a qué dirán y a los caprichos de la época. Ana, creemos, nunca se había tenido que casar con un hombre a quien no amaba y que incluso por la gran diferencia de edad nunca llegaría a amar posiblemente más que a un padrino. Entra pues esta novela dentro de las llamadas novelas de adulterio donde Clarín refleja igualmente el estado social y moral de la sociedad que el conoce muy bien, en un ambiente histórico detallado.

En 1888 Luis Bonafoux y Quintero acusó a Clarín de plagios diciendo que La Regenta era una astuta traducción de Madame Bovary de Flaubert, a lo que el escritor contestó: "cuando escribí este capítulo del texto no pensaba en madame Bovary ni con cien leguas; diez o doce años hacía que la había leído. Pero aunque me hubiese acordado de ella, sin el menor escrúpulo hubiese escrito todo lo escrito; pues, en efecto, no hay parecido ni remoto en lo que
Bonafoux llama plagio (Clavería, 1942)."

Se compara pues como Leopoldo Alas pinta a Ana de Ozores, sujeta dentro de su propio acontecer a las mismas crisis románticas e ilusiones que Emma Bovary en su rincón normando en la novela de Flaubert, y es hasta cierto punto la misma manera de concebir el personaje como no en vano el propio Clarín dijo "una mujer que sueña es una mujer que piensa de la manera más natural de pensar en las mujeres (Clavería, 1942)."

Baste añadir como Clarín usa su magistral naturalismo incluso para hacer descripciones de la temporada del año en el Capitulo Uno. Su exámen microscópico del que hablábamos anteriormente es exaltado de una manera casi fotográfica pues el nos narra incluso los tonos, reflejos y hasta sonidos del prado: "Empezaba el otoño. Los prados renacían, la hierba había crecido fresca y vigorosa...se destacaban sobre prados y maizales con tonos oscuros; la paja del trigo, escaso, amarilleaba...algunas quintas de recreo...reflejaban la luz como espejos. Aquel verde esplendoroso con tornasoles dorados y de plata...y su cumbre la sombra de una nube invisible...vigorosa y variada."

Hay un contraste entre realismo y fantasía donde el autor usa elementos fantásticos como alternativa para acertar en la realidad que quiere exponer entre Ana y Fermín, usando incluso modos de suspenso trayendo el susto del horror de manera sobrenatural a la que aquí llamamos métodos de fantasía. Usando esta técnica, según nuestro parecer, Clarín aprovecha para denunciar las condiciones reales de la sociedad en que se desenvuelve la historia y la influencia religiosa-espiritual de la España de la época.

Leopoldo Alas, aka "Clarín" falls into that curious category of authors whose literary output is, though exceedingly limited, nonetheless extremely important. A prolific journalist, and author of numerous short stories, he produced only two novels, one of which, _La Regenta_ is widely recognized as perhaps the best single work of fiction of 19th century Spain.

Clarín will remain forever overshadowed by his contemporary, Galdós, -- the acnowledged master of the era -- whose _Fortunata and Jacinta_ stands as the other great 1000 page novel of the period. Yet it is arguable whether or not any single work of Galdos' conveys quite the same epic sense of grandeur and beauty as Clarin's magnum opus.

Readers who delve into Clarin's novel will find themselves immersed in the lives of numerous members of the haute burgeoisie of Vetusta, including Ana Ozores -- the Regenta from whom the novel takes its title -- her good natured husband with a romantic penchant for "honor plays" of the Spanish, golden age theater, Mesias, the man who would be lover, and Fermin, the extremely conservative priest and confessor who steadfastly defends the doctrine of Papal infallibilty and strives to save her from the temptations of Mesias even as he himself becomes seduced by her beauty. A host of secondary characters completes the rich tapestry of Vetustan social life and helps create one of most lush and engrossing novels of the epoch.

_La Regenta_ stands in Spanish letters, second perhaps, only to Cervantes' _Don Quixote_. It equals anything Galdos produced, and, indeed, compares quite favorably to anything produced in Europe in that century. Along with Cervantes, Borges and García Marquez, Leopoldo Alas is without a doubt one of the Spanish speaking world's greatest novelists.

Funny, tragic, complex story about a woman and about a whole small city.
Wonderfuly written, with a trully great character, Fermin, and more than a hundred supporting roles.
Much better than Madame Bovary, or anythimg from Dickens, Zola, James.. (and much more amusing).

I thoroughly enjoyed these recipes. The foods are appealing, the recipes are easy to follow, and the outcome is fantastic. The nutritional breakdown for each recipe is very helpful.

Ms. Kostas, I am vice president of a company that is developing a software product, NutritionAssistant, that I believe may well compliment the work that you are doing. We provide a food recording and nutritional tracking system that is easy and intuitive to use. We will also provide menus and recipes that allow users to quickly and easily plan their weekly meal plan.

If you would like to know more about what we're doing, I'd be delighted to speak with you. Our company is headquartered in Phoenix, AZ, but I would be happy to speak with you if you would like more information.

I am always on the hunt for a cookbook that will help me keep my families' health and taste in mind. Well I found this just a few weeks ago, and I'm glad I did. The first dish I made was the Five Vegetable Primavera. I served it over Angel Hair Pasta and created a new favorite at my house. I love the recipes that I have tried to date! The recipes are good and good for you. But the best part is the family likes them. (it's a mircle!)

Ms. Kostas provides a great introduction wherein she discusses the basics of sound nutrition. Then it is on to the recipes. Although I haven't counted, there appear to be about 200 individual recipes which fall into 11 separate catagories. Literally there are multiple recipes for every occassion.

This is not a program of deprivation. We have been sampling Ms. Kostas's recommendations for the past six weeks. They have been outstanding without exception. In my case, it has also helped me to shed the extra pounds. I highly recommend the book to anyone that wants to eat well, but healthy.

I first want to say that I have just within the last ten minutes finished this book and I wanted my fresh impressions put to print, here goes...

"Hell's Broke Loose in Georgia Survival in a Civil War Regiment" by Scott Walker, 2005, University of Georgia Press. 310 pages, illustrated, maps and pictures.

I am proud and happy to have a signed hardback copy of this work. It could be best described by the author by how much he felt about the men he was writing about when he wrote on the last page "I promised myself that I would place a copy of this book in a small wooden box and bury it at the foot of Robert Braswell's grave [Private, 57th GA, CSA]. In so doing, I simply want to say that his great-great-grandson has not forgotten the sacifice that he made to help the United States evolve into a great and wonderful nation. And I will wrap the wooden box in an American flag with fifty stars, a symbol of that new nation."

"Interest"

This is a history of the 57th Ga. told through letters and diaries and a detailed and researched history carefully worded and structured to keep the reader very interested. It was slow reading at first until about page 70 with the start of the Battle of Baker's Creek (Champion's Hill). The following is a list of the war's events that impressed me with it's detail and coverage of military actions.

Kentucky Campaign
Battle of Champion's Hill*
Battle of Vicksburg
Atlanta Campaign
Battle of Peachtree Creek*
Battle of Atlanta
Battle of Jonesboro*
Hood's Tennessee Campaign
Hood's Retreat from Tennessee*
Battle of Bentonville*

*These had great interest to me in enlightning me on events new or enhanced information.

"Negatives"

Slow. The book didn't seem to be all that different or exciting than any other Civil War history you would find in magazines or reference material for the first one third of the book. The only real mistake I found was several references to Enterprise, Alabama as the rendevous point for paroled Vicksburg Confederates. My experience has taught me it was Enterprise, Mississippi.

"Positives"

Once you get past the "slow" parts it picks up momentum like Sherman through Georgia. My favorite parts being Chapter #19 Kennesaw Mountain through the last Chapter #30 "Coming Home".

"Impression"

I came away from this book with a great appreciation for these men and what they suffered and a new knowledge of military events. There is a couple of pages in the last Chapter dedicated to a post war court trail of an ex-Confederate Irishman and the jury of his peers, men who served with him in the war. It is really interesting to read the actual court transcripts of his speech. Great book.

This was an outstanding book on the brave soldiers from the 57th GA regiment. It was really hard to put it down as I found myself getting a real sense of the challenges, these brave Americans endured. If someone wants to get a real feel for what these men went through, here's your chance!

My son's got me this book for my birthday knowing I enjoy reading about the Civil War. I could hardly put it down and had it read in less than a week. The author does an amazing job of combining the history of the war with the letters of members of the 57th Georgia Regiment, of which his great great grandfather was a member. The difficulties this group of soldiers faced were much greater than the bullets from the Union. Disentary, illness, improper clothing, and questionable leadership all contributed to their story. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in the Civil War.

B-STARR -5 STAR REVIEW
Georgia Woodbine is a true messenger a prophetess of life's real true teacher of our financial struggles, the ones we face daily without thought, Money Management - Materialism and all the woes of planning our lives without putting God's first. Many years of splurging, unnecessary spending, mismanagement that all leads to a downward spiral of unpleasant events. Satisfying our desires, but never finding the true path to success.

Georgia shares with her readers her personal experiences and knowledge in an effort to get us back on track, using the many biblical principals that we tend to ignore without even a second thought, that the path to our life successes are in the very biblical principals that we simply ignore.

Georgia's message is plain and simple "Put God first in your life," This is the message that touched me deep in my spirit. I had to do an evaluation on my inner self. I now have A simple daily prayer "The Our Father" and "Each day I know to win this war, I must put on the 'Whole Armor of God" This sets me on the path of righteousness and keeps me under the protection of My True Headship, My Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

After reading Georgia's Menu's of Do's and Don'ts and various other guidelines to becoming successful without losing my soul. I knew that my true purpose was to follow the path that God has laid for me to accomplish my mission, the one He sent me on. I simply put His Will For You & I in perspective. I know my passion for fulfilling His will has arrived because I became obedient and humble, by deciding to follow, instead of lead.

There maybe setbacks but after reading Georgia's message, which lead me to know God is faithful and just to see you and I through until the end. This Book Will Truly Change Your Life. This is my review and my testimony to How To Make Big Bucks Without Losing My/Our Souls.

Thank you Georgia for sharing your wisdom! I love Your Passion for Our Lord Jesus Christ - Everyone should read this powerful little book of wisdom. It Will Change Your Life"

Deep down, I truly believe everyone wants to live a life of purpose and find success in their relationships, careers, personal goals and spiritual life. In spite of this desire, not many are equipped with the maps or guides necessary to travel this path, with the first thing being trusting in God's Word. Georgia Woodbine's book HOW TO MAKE BIG BUCK$ WITHOUT SELLING YOUR SOUL! The Do's & Don'ts to Living a Successful Life is a good starting point for those seeking guidance, mostly in having a successful life.

In this small, but well-executed book, Woodbine provides a wealth of information to help the reader tap into their passion and turn that into a profitable business and career. She lists do's and don'ts that will keep you emotionally and spiritually focused, while at the same time, shares that God has a specific plan for each of us and only from within can we find true happiness. Though simply stated, some of the passages in this book have the ability to change one's viewpoint on life. With chapters touching on praying, believing in yourself, never sacrificing your morals, managing your time, helping others, and most importantly, keeping God first, this will be a book I'll come back to time and time again. The tips to remember closing out each chapter and the included exercises are also helpful to the reader.

HOW TO MAKE BIG BUCK$ WITHOUT SELLING YOUR SOUL! is an easy-to-read guide on living a successful and bountiful life as promised in God's Word. I closed this book feeling inspired and motivated as I reviewed the 7 P's for Prosperity: Prayer, Prospects, Planning, Presentation, Promotion, Partnerships, and Persistence and the 7 Keys to Success: Faith, Courage, Passion, Purpose, Focus, Commitment, and Patience. With each set, I am armed to fully meet my destiny and all the blessings that abound within.

Mina-san Konnichi-wa,
Though this book was tailored to the Irasshai program, but is an excellent textbook for anyone just starting to learn Japanese. It is easy to follow and clearly presented. I recommend it highly. There is an companion workbook that goes with the textbook. The workbook should be available by end of May, 2008.

If you are serious about learning Japanese, I highly recommend this book. It makes Japanese easy to follow and there are many learning exercises to practice verbal, writing and reading skills. It's well written and easy to follow. Plus the workbooks will soon be available! The book is based on an actual course designed for high school students however very friendly for the adult learner.

This book is positive without being sappy, easy to read and understand, yet profound. It's a treasure trove of insight into human behavior and defines a life well-lived.

We enjoy bouncing our experiences and observations of each other, entertaining and teaching and learning from each other. Perhaps more importantly, we gain value and worthwhile memories?a measure of our lives. ?Journey of a Southern Man? is Jackie Cooper?s testament to his life and journey. With a sense of humor, he tells about himself, his family and his friends, while at the same time helps us see truths about our own lives. In frankly facing his own fear of illness, aging, loss and death, and through the power of his insight, we are challenged to do the same. Each story is a delicious slice of life and reads with the fluid simplicity of a Hemingway novel. An accomplished teller of tales, Jackie?s stories charmingly blend the traditional (see chapters Gimme That Old Time Religion, Golden Rule Should Apply at Theaters and Laughing Helps People Cope) and the unconventional (see chapters Survival Tips for Snow?Lay in the Munchies, Thinner Isn?t a Curse, A Former Smoker Confesses?He Loved Every Puff) Jackie?s book has a keen sense of the passage of time and the existential irony that change is the universe?s only constant. ?Journey of a Southern Man? inspires the reader to not settle for the ordinary and helps us remember the important things in life?love, relationship and gratitude.

Jackie does a great job with his first literary effort. Hiscollection of stories reinforces the timeless concept that awell-lived, gentle life has such merit and meaning. When I finished his book, I was disappointed it was over, and am now anxiously awaiting his follow-up. I think I'd like to be Jackie Cooper if I could pick being someone other than myself.

Ms. Johnson
I really enjoyed your books. I am really looking forward to your next release. God Bless You.

I have read all of Charlotte's books. I have enjoyed each of them. With this book, I found myself wishing she had added one more chapter. Her books are the talk of our town.

I was totally amazed that the Flipside could exceed Ms. Johnson original book a Journey to Hell and Back. I loved the way each chapter had two sides to give you a holistic view of their relationship. This book provides a different side of Ms.Johnson. I expected the infomation about Ms. Johnson to be redundant. Fortunately, I was wrong. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson have had very interesting lives. I recommended this book or those who like romance with realistic adventure.

In the novel, Kinship written by Trudy Krishner, this young girl was Perty (Pert) Wilson, lived with her mother, Rae Jean Wilson and her older brother, Jimmy Wilson in "Happy Trails" trailer park in Kinship, Georgia for many years. Pert was accustomed to the same neighbors, behaviors and habits day to day. Also, Pert has always wondered and longed for her father, James Williams Wilson of what he was like and for him to return home. Since Pert was a young child, she was not able to have what many other girls had, a father who was there for them at their side. As soon as Pert's father arrives, the life that Pert once knew started to change.
Rae Jean Wilson, the mother of Pert and Jimmy was a very strong woman and attended mass at St. Jude's every Sunday. Pert, unlike some daughters, called her mother by her first name, Rae Jean because they had a very close relationship, similar to sisters and best friends. Pert had said that, "She never scolded, never yelled, never laughed at me, never made me feel shame." (Chapter 2, page 15). This was probably once reason as to why Rae Jean and Pert were very close. Rae Jean not only supported her family, but treated her children as friends with loyalty and trust. Rae Jean had worked for Doc Jackson, the animal and people doctor) and Pert had worked at the movie theater. Although their family had worked, it was not enough to keep up with all the bills and the necessities they had needed. The Wilsons family, especially Rae Jean had worked extra hard to work for their money, without the help of James Wilson.
Pert was very accustomed to meeting and talking to neighbors such as Miss Sophie Mulch, Odette Coates and many others. As Pert grew up with these trailer neighbors, she had grown very close to them and many admired her and treated her as her their own child. Neighbors in "Happy Trails" had always admired, loved and were fond of the Wilson kids, especially Sophie Mulch. Sophie Mulch had said that she would do anything and everything for those children. Something that Pert would often do every afternoon was watch soap operas with Miss Mulch. Much like her life, the relationships that Pert had once had with the neighbors would soon change upon the arrival of her father.
When Pert and Jimmy's father had arrived in Kinship, he brought along mixed emotions. With the good times that Pert had with her father, there were also the sad times and the disappointments. Pert's father tried to do things that would make it right for the family, but because of the many years lost, it was not enough. Pert was able to spend quality time with her father, learn more about him and the similarities they had and just had fun with him. Pert also had to deal with some disappointments when her father let her down. Also, problems grew within the trailer neighborhood that had to deal with James Wilson and money.
Along with the relationships and lives that had changed when James William Wilson arrived, there were also situations within the trailer neighborhood. The mayor had informed the trailer owners that they would have to consider moving because permanent buildings were to be built in that land area. Many changes within the trailer land were made and even the name of the area. It had changed from Happy Trails, to Homestead Park and eventually to Homestead Circle Park. Pert learns that it is not the place in which a person lives that determines whether it is home or not; it is the people, the love and the trust.
As time grew, Pert realized what was important to her and what was not. She was able to distinguish from who was family and who was kin. Also, she finally was able to meet her father and learn more about him. Pert realized that Rae Jean, Jimmy and Grams have and will always be there for her. She realized that some people come into your lives and leave, but those who have been there since the beginning, are there to stay. As Pert had said, "I know home was supposed to be special, but it would take this fall to show me the reason why." (Chapter 1, page 9). It had taken Pert, all those ups and downs since her father had arrived, to realize who and what was home. Although it had taken her that time, it was better that then never realizing at all. Her trailer neighborhood has also grown into her family and people she trusts. Even as one of her neighbors, Pee Wee Hale had mentioned, "Family's more important than anything else." (Pee Wee Hale, Trailer 10, page 240). Even those who lived in the trailer park knew that family was important and it was what held everyone together.
Kinship, written by Trudy Krishner, is a great novel to read that deals with family, kin, friends, home and the things that are important in life. By reading this novel, one can see how Pert, the main character grows and learns from the actions and events that surround her. Not only can a person read about how Pert feels and how she acts, but also what others think and say about her and her family members. Also, one can learn more about the trailer life, and how many are assumed to be gypsies and how they are often looked down upon. Also, with the trailer life, a person can learn more of how they often have to move because of the building of "permanent homes". Kinship, is a great, fun and interesting book to read and I highly recommended this to all people who enjoy reading about the importance of family, as well as what "home" really is.

Perty's father abondoned her mother and her at birth but Perty still has hopes and dreams of her father that no one can take away. In fact, she talks to her father all the time by sending him ESP messages, usually to please come home, they need him. Well, Perty believes the last message got through to him because after church one Sunday, her daddy is standing on their front porch. No one was happy to see him much, except Perty, and she just can't understand that. All that matters is the here and now for her and her daddy is here now. She just can't get it, even after helping the trailer park with badly needed repairs, etc, her family, especially her grandma and brother are as cold as ever. Her mother just prays all the time, same as she used to. But Perty's world comes crashing down when he doesn't show up at the Father-Daughter dance, and momma's stashed-money-for-emergencies-comes up missing, and he takes repair money meant for the traier park and gambles it away. No one really comes to Perty's rescue with the truth about her father. Perty is strong willed and friends and neighbors know she must find out on her own how her daddy really is. And Perty finally does, she grows up and she's beyond the dreams of what a daddy really is supposed to be to see what her daddy is really is-a smooth talking, run-when-there-is-trouble kind of daddy. The concept and difference between kinship and family is unearthed in this great novel by a great author. I really could'nt put it down!

A coming of age novel dealing with poverty and the importance of family. Characters are well drawn and really come to life. I like the way the vignettes of the trailer park residents give insight into Perts life. An excellent family oriented book and I would recommend it to students from the 7th grade up.

Devlin O'Neill has been one of my favorite authors from the Maid series and I absolutely loved this book that he cowrote with Georgina. With it being her first book it was very good. I couldn't tell what she wrote and what Devlin wrote. They make a good team on bodice rippers and hope they will write more together. They are both good authors and are in sync with each other.

I sat down a few nights ago and started to read this book. I couldn't put it down until I finished it. IT was a great story and so life like in all phases. I couldn't wait to read the next page to see what was going to happen to the heroine. Devlin has been a favoriate author of mine for a while and this book done with his co author is just another one in my collection. If you want to have a book that keeps you reading until the end buy this one!!! There is romance, fighting, a grand story set in castles and kingdoms. Keep up the great work Dev!!!

Set in an age of kings and castles, knights and nobility, peasants and wenches, 'Lady Faulcon's Rogue' is an immensely enjoyable tale of chivalry and adventure, intrigue and betrayal, romance and spanking.

Devlin O'Neill and Georgia Lynd weave a wonderful tale that will transport the reader to 14th century England where beautiful young Lady Bess Faulcon is forced to flee into the night after brigands raid the castle she and her mother now call home. But Lady Bess eludes her would be captors with a cunning and bravery not expected from an 18 year-old girl. Now a fugitive, she falls into the hands of Owen Rhys and his band of men. Is he a rogue who will ransom Lady Bess to the villian who raided her home or is he her savior who will reunite Bess with her mother who was snatched during the raid and is now being held prisoner?

This is the scenario presented by Mr. O'Neill and Ms. Lynd in a most satisfying and enjoyable manner. Adventure and romance will thrill the reader. Colorfully vivid characters will catch your imagination. And the spanking will make your pulse pound. Highly recommended, 'Lady Faulcon's Rogue' will provide the reader with an entertaining and moving experience.

This is the first collaboration between the two authors, who have since written a marvelous second novel, 'A Fine Deceit'. Here's hoping Devlin O'Neill and Georgia Lynd are busy creating a third.
