IT WAS A EXCITING BOOK TO LOOK AT

IT WAS A EXCITING BOOK TO LOOK AT

This book is an extraordinary intellectual effort that compiles landscape projects (landscape urbanism), essays, articles as well as photographs of Detroit. Perhaps this is the first time in which the radical notion of Detroit as the most modern city has been proposed. No nostalgic attemps to go back in time as if it would have been a better time. In addition to the depth of the writing and the projects, this is a beautiful book published by Actar with great photos of the city.

this book puts a perspective on detroit that many do not take, that detroit was and is a great city. the book is easy to read, very thourogh, and is accentuated well by photography. a good coffee table book.

My interest in this biography was piqued by my mounting scepticism of the claims of early 20th century modernist artists and their promoters, whether critics, collectors or curators. Much of what we think we know about early American modernism is little more than oft repeated hand-me-down information that manifests the bearer's uncritical satisfaction with the modernist enterprise. Such information serves to maintain the artist's place in the modernist temple that subsequent enthusiasts and fans have constructed and served as keepers of the flame. Critical, layered and thorough historical study reveals such notions as ideology, mere mythologizing constructs.

Readers of Ms. Lowe's exceptionally well written biography will find a fair and balanced AND critically engaged account of an adequately talented photographer who was one of the principal apologists of modernist ideas in New York, with a reputation in Europe as well. With his small enclosed (are modernist gatherings ever open?) circle of artists and holding court in his galleries, Alfred Stieglitz combatively denounced skeptical visitors who didn't or wouldn't "get it." This was was the Stieglitzian modernist "my way or the highway" pronouncement which cowed fawning acolytes.

A vorcious AND impressionable reader, he embraced Freudian ideas subsequently discredited in the later 20th century. Believing in the "pure artist untainted by commerce,Stieglitz turned against his young associate Edward Steichen when the latter became successful as an artistic commercial photographer (his career was also characterized by attracting the public; Stieglitz's publications always shed their subscribers who got fed-up with his sermonizing enthusiasms that strayed from photographic matters) Mind you, Steichen accomplished a multi-faceted career without "daddy's money," with which Stieglitz was bankrolled for much of his bohemian life (danke, PaPa!). He seems to also have been his mother's favorite.

Among the book's strong sections are its coverage of the regular gatherings of the Stieglitz clan at the family's summer house in upstate New York. Here family dynamics were played out that revealingly throw Stieglitz's personality into contrast with those of his siblings, friends and younger lover Georgia O'Keefe (one of the more over-rated American artists of the 20th century) who also shared his inflexible termperament.

The author, who spent years meticulously researching available archives (some still remain sealed), has produced a fully-orbed account of the glories and contradictions of an archetypal American modernist. It is a definitive study of Steiglitz and his personal world.

This is an excellent biography. Written by Sue Davidson Lowe, Alfred Stieglitz's niece, "Stieglitz : A Memoir/Biography" is written objectively, yet with the knowingness and acceptance of a relative. This book presents a well-balanced picture of Stieglitz, his accomplishments (not only his own artistic endeavors, but his efforts to make photography an accepted art form), friends, family, and life. When I was done reading this biography, I felt that I had been presented with a coherent, entertaining, and candid portrayal of Stieglitz. I have read many biographies and autobiographies, of these, I have felt that about one-fourth are well-written and worth reading -- this Stieglitz biography is one of them.

This cookbook has been around for over 20 years.It has great, easy recipes that are easy for the busy mom to fix. Be sure to try the Elegant Chicken. The Flower Pot Dessert is one that is easy to assemble and will certainly be a topic of discussion at any function. The Utility Club of Griffin, Georgia first printed this book as a fundraiser over 20 years ago. My mom was in the club at the time and has recipes in the book. So far, over 20,000 copies have been sold. The Utility Club still sells The Stuffed Griffin as it continues to be a money-maker. We are a service organization with all of our proceeds going directly back into our community. If you don't already have this book, you need it!

My mom gave me an older copy of the book when I moved out on my own. I've gotten the new version and enjoy it just as much. It really surprises the wife to see delicious London Broil thrown together in 30 minutes. Drawback: She's threatened to chain me to the stove.

Birmingham has a very similar style to Marcia Mueller, and the lead characters are very similar -- they're real people with real faults that you can relate to.

I've read each book in the series and enjoyed each one more and more as I've gone along. If you love Sharon McCone, you'll love Sunny Childs.

Gunnar Brushwood used to be a famous bounty hunter but he is now the owner of Peachtree Investigations located in Atlanta, Georgia. Because he knows he is not a very good sleuth, he employs Sunny Childs as his lead investigator. Gunnar usually lets Sunny make all the decisions. However, because he likes fame, media time and glory he overrules her decision and sets himself up for one of the biggest disasters of his life. Record Company owner Jeremy Ratkin hires the agency to find out what happened to his wife who disappeared from a locked room.

The wife, famous country singer Georgia Burnett, has been kidnapped. When the criminals demand a ransom, Jeremy agrees to pay it. Sunny and Gunnar are going to exchange the money for Georgia but before that can happen, they both realize that the whole scenario is publicity stunt designed to promote her next album. Sunny wants no part of the farce but Gunner decides he wants to be in the spotlight and finishes the exchange. Sunny quits her job. When Georgia is murdered two months later, Gunnar is charged with the crime. Sunny agrees to help on his defense, a move that places her in danger.

Sunny Childs is an exotic mixture of savvy moxie and vulnerable woman. She is the perfect private detective that wins fans and make the series a surefire hit. Ruth Birmingham knows Atlanta and the State of Georgia ands imbues local color into her realsitic characters. The mystery is dynamic and impossible to figure out yet once all the answers are revealed it all makes sense with no loose ends left behind. SWEET GEORGIA is a fascinating and complex who done it that makes for exciting reading.

I already had the original A Taste of Georgia cookbook and love it. So I was delighted when I discovered that the same organization had published Another Serving. This cookbook has it all, grill hints, low fat recipes, childrens section, etc. I especially like the Georgia Caviar on page 40 (so good I know the page number by heart) and the English Toffee recipe in the candy section. Also a favorite is the excepts from old "manners" books...always a good laugh. This cookbook has been a great addition to my kitchen.

It's no surprise to me that this cookbook is still going strong. When I still lived in Newnan,Ga it was a popular cookbook and had been around for at least 12 years in different versions. I received a copy of the latest version in 1990. I was a novice cook and needed all the help I could get. This cookbook has been with me for 13 years, several kitchens, and was one of the first I packed to move overseas. This has not only recipes, but also all kinds of conversions, substitutions, and my copy had party manners (LOL) and proper table setting. It even had a listing of Mrs. Alan Jackson as a member for you country Music fans. This cookbook only gets better with age and revisions. Buy this and get recipes from all over the world, not just southern items.

Mr. Charles E. Day gives his readers a history lesson, as well a look into the life of his family. His father's legacy is remembered here. Mr. William J. Day was a man with many challanges. A policeman's job is a difficult job even in this day and time. Mr. Day was a black policeman in the south during a time when it was unsafe to be a black man. It was very stressful for a black policemen.
Mr. Day was an educated man, he was honest and his complextion was fair. All of these things made him a target for white policemen. These among other things were the cause of him not being promoted on the police force. He was overly qualified. He left his job as a teacher who had been assigned to be a truant officer. If he had stayed in education, more then likely he would have retired as a school administrator. But Mr. Day chosed to be a policeman. As a policeman he was a threat. It's a shame that other black policeman on the force moved up. But this was the white man's way of punishing Mr. Day. He kept his composer and inspite of it all he was respected and admired.
Mrs. Day is to be admired also.She raised four children and managed the family business. She had the daily task of leasing and taking care of the apartment building. Her sons were the handy men. You don't have to do any guess work about her personality. Her pictures in the book are enough for the reader to come to a conclusion. Mrs. Day was a loving and caring person. She was everybody's mother. She helped people locate and adopt children. She cooked and baked. She was a wonderful landlady. Above all else she was a loving mother to her children. She was a supportive wife. I recommend this book. It is a book about love. The love of a family of a father, mother, sons, daughter, grandchildren, uncles, aunts, and a host of cousins, and friends. Read it!

It is extremely rare, especially in these times, to read a book such as this. This is a very moving story of the struggles of being one of Savannah, Georgia's first Black police officers, and a story of family, love, dedication, and a legacy. The author truly bares his soul in this book, and you can just about "feel" all of his emotions as you're reading it. In addition to this poignant tribute, the book also provides an excellent history of the city of Savannah.

This book is great for anyone interested in Florida political history, JFK, and LBJ. Very talented author, and very enjoyable reading.

This book was excellent, it had alot of details about george smathers and his time in office.

The original edition of this book was published by The Viking Press in 1978 (I know, because I was its editor), and a very important book it is. I'm delighted to see it back in print, because it got little attention when it first appeared. Few scientists then believed in the importance of animals to the development of human intelligence; now the subject of animal intelligence itself is taken far more seriously, and I'm certain that Paul Shepard's work made a significant contribution to this change.

...in forty years of relentless reading. We have all seen the evidence of subjects driven mad by sensory deprivation. We know that the health of an individual is tied up with the health of the community. Shepard gives us a glimpse of the myriad ways in which the mental health of our species is tied up with the interspecies conversations that produced our consciousness. To vastly oversimplify his synthesis of anthropological, biological, and cultural sources, Shepard's thesis is that the only argument that can possibly save wild animals and the environments upon which they survive is this: that without them we will destroy that heritage of which we are most proud: our human consciousness. The arguments are expanded in his other work, and I keep meaning to read them-as soon as I have absorbed this one. I've been rereading it for 20 years.
