This cookbook has traditional southern recipes mixed with beautiful photography of some historic Charleston homes. There is also a bit of history included with each menu. I highly reccomend this book.

This book is the quintessential book for showing many, many techniques that can be employed in dye painting cotton or silk fabric using cold water dyes. Ann's methodical and orderly approach to showing all the different techniques makes the book a great reference for the more experienced dyer and also a great book for beginners. With this book and Ann's other book (Color by Accident) in your libary, you will have unlimited resources to dye your own beautiful fabric. This is the authoritative book for dye painting.

This book could be one of the great sleepers of late twentieth century economic and historical analysis. With this book William Lazonick has done students of economic history a big favor by delving deeply into the topic of just how capitalists struggled to gain power over workers. In today's climate of uneasy and tenuous "industrial peace" via the "new economy", such an historical perspective is a much needed antidote to the illusion that markets bring freedom to workers. Indeed, Lazonick convincingly shows with numerous historical examples that we have always lived in a knowledge economy, with the distribution of knowledge and wealth always being struggled over RIGHT ON THE SHOP FLOOR. Lazonick asks; how are capitalists able to appropriate the socially productive power of workers as a free gift? He then romps over 160 years of western economic history to show that the rhetoric of free markets and neoclassical economic theory serve as inaccurate representations of an immense, open-ended power struggle; a struggle that continues to this day all over the globe. It is a story rich with lessons for today's high tech workers [indeed all workers] as well as the denizens of "the end of history". By conclusively showing that the origins of profit is the result of fundamental violations of the norms of democracy, Lazonick shows that the relations between innovations in technology and the ability of capitalists to control and exploit the knowledge of labor are inseparable from the way profit emerges from the creation of commodities. Indeed he shows quite persuasively that the future of [post]industrial peace depends on learning from the mistakes that have led us to our current economic impasse. This is the kind of work that makes the Paul Krugman's and Larry Summers' of the world look like college sophomores. In short, a MUST READ despite the financial cost.

A lovely ramble with a fascinating old gentleman, quaint, charming, sunny and a true picture of one aspect of a bygone age and of the way our great-great grandfathers talked and lived. The fishing lore and natural history are hopelessly out of date but who cares? Has been in print for centuries and deservedly so.

Two-page layout depicts the extent of the Cotton Belt Railway. Photos chronicle a tremendous run performed in this decade by a restored Steam Locomotive powered train. Choice nostalgic content for anyone who may have grown up near the Cotton Belt rail line as I did, worked on the Cotton Belt, or perhaps had a family member who was a part of this notable railway. My paternal grandfather was a career man on the Cotton Belt. The author presents an excellent balance of written history and photographic content. One particular vingette is replete with especially descriptive language about how fast the restored steamer is hauling as it makes time running south on the line. In another section, this book describes two trains executing a perfectly timed head-on pass at cruising speed as one train clips off onto the side rails. A book that any railroad afficianado will be proud to own and share with friends.

This book gives and excellent desribition of the old New York. It is a interesting book and should be read by all historans and regular readers alike!

why is very important for the history of The United States of America and if help for economy.

I enjoy Debbie Bliss and I love her patterns for baby and children. Also, adults. I get all her books. I enjoy knitting with Rowan yarns and her yarns. Good overall book.

This is the best book I have read on how cotton is produced, and then made into fabric. My kids loved it and I learned a lot as well. There are great real pictures, and the illustrations are very good. I would recommend this book to anybody that wants to kow more about cotton, or just wants to have a good book to read.

Clarence Jordan, founder of Koinonia Farm, a Christian community in rural Georgia (and precursor to Habitat for Humanity) and author of the Cotton Patch version of the New Testament, said that the book of Acts "merely stops, as though the author is saying, 'Here's where I get off; y'all take it from here.'" Jordan, as other Christian communitarians have done over the centuries, adapted the model of the earliest description of the Church, the "Koinonia," where believers held goods in common, in his case to a South Georgia farm setting in the mid 20th century. Dallas Lee's tale of the history of "the Koinonia Farm Experiment" gets its title from Jordan's observation that evidence of the resurrection was not so much in the empty tomb as in the transformed lives of the believers. It is a powerful story of faith in action. Lee beautifully yet simply captures the drama of people who, in many instances, put their lives on the line to bear witness to new the lives they believed in and the values of the One in whose name they gathered. Anyone who wants to know what being a Christian means today, in city, suburb or farm, should read this book.
