The Octopus's Garden: Hydrothermal Vents and Other Mysteries of the Deep Sea (Helix Books)
Published in Hardcover by Perseus Publishing (January, 1996)
Author: Cindy Lee Van Dover
Average review score:

Now available in paperback!
This is an excellent book on deep sea exploration! If you can find it, the hardcover version is definitely a keeper for future reference. In response to the review above...I believe that "Deep-Ocean Journeys" by Cindy Lee Van Dover is the paperback version of "Octopus's Garden" ("Deep-Ocean" is still available in-print). Also, if you enjoyed this book, read William Broad's "The Universe Below".

great book on the deep sea
Too bad this book out of print! It is a neat little book on deep sea life, not just (but mainly) hydrothermal vent life. Very readable and while not too technical was very informative, with nice black and white illustrations. It added a very human touch to deep sea exploration, but was professional at the same time.

It is truly an amazing world beneath the surface of the sea, which by some counts makes up something like 97 percent of the biosphere of this planet. Great books help bring this alien but important realm to life. Recommended.

Great information on VBA, Office!
This book is easily one of the best VBA tutorials I have ever seen. It helped me build custom VBA programs to take control of MS Word, even to reformatting the printed pages on the fly to make them conform to the features the printer offered! I can't recommend this book highly enough to the Office 97 user!

Good book, great chapter VBA tutorial.
I don't really mind some of the annoyances of Office 97 described in this book. What I enjoyed the most was the chapter on Visual Basic for Applications, VBA, which gets you up and running like only the folks at O'Reilly can do. If you use Office 97, you should consider reading this book.

Old Southern Apples
Published in Paperback by McDonald & Woodward Pub Co (November, 1996)
Author: Creighton Lee, Jr Calhoun
Average review score:

Old Southern Apples
Great Book. If you like apples, get this book and you'll become passionate about apples. Great history on old apples grown in the old south, most of which are now very rare. This book made this transplanted Yankee feel like an old southern rebel farmer.

An excellent reference and history of old apple varieties
This book successfully conveys what is lost when an old apple tree is cut down. It emphasizes the importance of apples throughout the history of the south. Furthermore, it provides excellent descriptions of the many varieties of old southern apples. The research that went into creating this book was obviously tremendous.The descriptions include over 1600 varities of apples. Throughout the book, the author is able to relate his great enthusiasm for old apple varieties as well as a profound sense of loss over the destruction of an important part of Southern heritage. "Old Southern Apples" has even inspired me to start my own search for the old varieties of apple trees. This is a resource that no Southern fruit grower should be without.

On the Line: The Creation of a Chorus Line
Published in Hardcover by William Morrow (April, 1990)
Authors: Robert Viagas, Baayork Lee, and Thommie Walsh
Average review score:

This book is a MUST for any "A Chorus Line" enthusiast.
Viagas, Lee and Walsh, together with the rest of the original cast have made an insightful book which documents the life of this great musical. Filled with remembrances by the cast and with a good collection of photographs by several photographers their book is a treasure chest of facts and memories of Broadway's "Singular Sensation". It is nice to know that author Baayork Lee continues her association with the show after twenty five years, still directing companies of the show and now opening up a website dedicated to the show... I only hope that some day they will provide an updated version concluding with the gala final performance.

A must for any fan of the show (or Broadway in general)
This book captures the show perfectly from people who were there: The Original Cast. This book never ceases to amaze, and move.

On the Way to over the Hill : A Guide to Aging Gracefully
Published in Paperback by Educare Press (September, 1997)
Authors: Grace Lee and Kieran O'Mahony
Average review score:

Gift for long life - Bibliophile
If you are planning to live a long life or know someone who has, then this is the book for you. This author is what my mother would have called "feisty". She has some definite ideas about aging gracefully: "Aging sucks a lemon." The rest of the book is just as blunt. She advocates "aging with attitude." A survivor of 74 years, she has paid her dues and seen her share of sorrow: she has outlived her husband and an only son, has endured surgeries and other infirmities and indignities that come with advanced age. This book provides a thought-provoking look at aging in our society. Specifically, it calls attention to how we treat our elderly, something we should all think about; after all, people are living longer these days, and we'll most likely be elderly one day. The book is full of short entertaining snippets that can be read at one sitting or piecemeal, as time permits. A very engaging, witty, and truthful read that would make a good gift for anyone who plans to live a long life.

A must read for all ages.
In Grace Lee's "On The Way to Over the Hill," she uses wisdom and witticisms to scale life's upward slopes. Whether gentle or steep, the journey through life's pathways provide Lee with the opportunity for humorous revelations. Lee takes a serious subject into the fun zone and her crisp style makes her book a joy to read. A series of short essays reveal how coping skills have much to do with attitude. This is a book that should be read before coming anywhere near the top of the hill because so much of how we handle the later part of our lives starts very early. As Lee suggests, attitude is a process that begins before reaching life's apexes. If frugal when young, for example, chances are you won't be an elderly spendthrift. However, the danger of frugality spilling over into cheap can lead to the deprivation of pleasures in later years. As Lee suggests, if we have to suffer the drawbacks, we may as well dip generously into a smorgasbord of treats. Rather than dwell on pitfalls, which she tackles with lighthearted aplomb, she points out the many perks you pick up along the way to over the hill. Yes, perks. For example, having more time to travel, to try new experiences, to make new friends, to be open to new ideas, to tackle new hobbies and generally to expand one's realm. Above all, to gain wisdom and joy along the way. For Lee, humor is a mainstay; the life force necessary for survival. It is especially evident when she reveals her own experiences with the aging process. It is the soothing balm easing the ascent, the descent and all the hills and valleys encountered along the way. I loved the book and keep it around for reference when I have my own experiences.

Once upon a DinkelsbUhl
Published in Hardcover by Putnam Pub Group Juv (March, 1977)
Author: Patricia Lee. Gauch
Average review score:

es war einmal in Dinkelsbuhl
which is the german title to this book. We bought a copy in Dinkelsbuhl. This is a retelling of a legend of how the children saved the town from invading swedes (sometime in the middle ages). The illustrations are classic dePaola. The message is to stand up for what is right no matter how much the underdog you are.

Once upon a non-violent resistance
Now this is a way nifty book. I got it from the large Catholic family up the street for my eighth birthday and I still have it. Lore is one of those fabuluous precocious kids that are the bane of their second grade teachers. She lives in a little German town called Dinkelsbuhl which is lovely and full of decent folk. Lore has a father who is slightly gruff and overprotective and a cat named Hans. (She also, aparantly, has a sewing basket, but she doesn't seem the sort of girl to use it.) So, that's Lore. The other major player here is The Captain, not named, who goes around burning a pillaging lovely little German villages. Inevitably, these two meet up and the result is one of my favoritest endings ever. It also features gingerbread (I have a personal thing for food in childrens' books) and great pictures by Tomie DePaola. A winner.

Once upon a Time: A Book of Old-Time Fairy Tales
Published in Hardcover by Checkerboard Pr (June, 1993)
Authors: Katharine Lee Bates and Margaret Evans Price
Average review score:

Delightful stories for even the very young
My mother received this book from her mother as a Christmas gift in 1926 when she was just 6 years old. She so loved the book. She tried to copy the pictures over and over by tracing over them. Her book is worn now, but still very treasured. She read the stories to me when I was small and reads them now to my children, now just 4 and 1. The 4 year old loves the book. The stories are not told in a scary manner but are very magical and also moral, with the good people winning out in the end. The illustrations are beautiful. I highly recommend this book. I am very hopeful that I will be able to find another copy of it.

A Tradition of Fairy Tales . . . Well, You Know the Rest
I can recall as a young child curling up next to my mother, while she read to me from her favorite children's book, "Once Upon a Time, A Book of Old-Time Fairy Tales," by Katharine Lee Bates (Rand McNally & Company, 1921). She had received this book for her own fifth birthday. In time I knew all my favorite illustrations by the marvelous Margaret Evans Price, and could recite most of the book's stories by heart. My favorites were "Furball," "Hop O' My Thumb" and "The Dancing Shoes." The stories contained in "Once Upon a Time" are part of the time-honored tradition of fairy stories which relied on the imagination of the child and the voice of the storyteller to ignite. Edited by Bates, Professor of English Literature at Wellesley College, the protagonists of the stories are good and often beautiful; they always find love and/or good fortune. By comparison, the antagonists get their just desserts; however, they are obviously bad, and merely scary rather than terrifying. There's something solid and safe about these tales; they're not explosive or bigger than life, just extraordinary in the nicest way. "Furball" tells the story of a motherless princess, who is sold by her feckless father into marriage to an ogre. Innocent but resourceful, she agrees to the marriage on the condition that her father provide her with four lavish and presumably impossible-to-furnish items of clothing: a dress "as golden as the sun," another as "silvery as the moon," a third as "glittering as the stars"; and a coat made of "a thousand different kinds of fur" from "every animal in the kingdom." To her chagrin, her father presents her with all she has requested. Now, faced with marriage to the ogre, she sees that her only remedy is to run away. So she folds her new clothing into a packet so small "she could shut them up in a walnut shell." Wearing her fur coat and staining her face and hands with walnut juice for concealment, she runs until she comes to a forest, where she falls into exhausted sleep. Discovered slumbering in the hollow of a tree by a neighboring young king and his huntsmen, and thought initially to be an odd sort of animal, the young king decides to rescue her and takes her to his castle. Recognizing neither her beauty nor her royalty in her disguise, he assigns her to work as a scullery maid in the castle kitchen. Eventually wooed by her cleverness, soon revealed beauty and unexpected culinary expertise, he. . . well, you know the rest. "Toads and Vipers" is the story of a widow with two daughters. The elder, who resembles her mother in face and character and is therefore favored by her mother, is homely and rude. But the younger takes after her late father, and is pleasing in her appearance and sweet-tempered. One day, a fairy, disguised as a crone, hobbles up to the fair sister and asks her for a libation. The young girl graciously proffers the woman a drink from her pitcher, and, in return, the fairy/woman graces her with a magical gift: "At every word you speak there shall come out of your mouth a flower or a jewel." When the girl's mother perceives the great riches which could come her way, she sends her favorite daughter out to the well, but to very different effect. The grumbling, unpleasant sister rudely rebuffs the crone's request for water, and the fairy/woman bestows upon her an appropriate curse: "At every word you speak there shall drop out of your mouth a snake or a toad." Blaming the beautiful daughter for the ill fortune of the wretched one, the mother chases the innocent girl into the woods, where she is later found crying by the King's son, who happens to be riding by. Impressed by her beauty and the obvious riches that fall from her lips at every word she speaks, the young man takes her to his castle and. . . well, you know the rest. These are just two of the 16 famous and not-so-famous stories that have been compiled into this wonderful book. Also included are Jack and the Beanstalk; Briar Rose, or The Sleeping Beauty; Hop O' My thumb; Drakestail; Jack the Giant-Killer; Cinderella, or the Little Glass Slipper; King Hawksbeak; Little Red Riding-Hood; The Dancing Shoes; Beauty and the Beast; Rumpel-Stilt-Skin, or Tom Tit Tot; The Frog Prince; Tom Thumb; and The Goose Girl. I could also recap these beloved stories, but . . .well, you know the rest.

Once upon a Time: On the Nature of Fairy Tales
Published in Paperback by Indiana University Press (October, 1976)
Authors: Max Luthi, Lee Chadeayne, and Francis L. Utley
Average review score:

A passionate, perceptive enquiry; & primer for folklorists
This is a joy to read, concise and short, full of insight and authority yet never hard going. Luthi is a distinguished scholar, but keen to communicate his enthusiasm rather than any dry analysis. Scholars have analysed fairy tales according to many models, but this book becomes a primer for folklore theories too, as Luthi takes a tale or two in each chapter and examines them according to a different one of those approaches each time.

For anyone fascinated in adulthood by fairy tales, this really teases out the essence of the tales, their nature and appeal, and the various ways they resonate with us. 'It is quite likely that behind many features in our fairy tales there are old customs and beliefs; but in the context of the tale they have lost their original character. Fairy tales are experienced by their hearers and readers, not as realistic, but as symbolic poetry.' (chapter 4)

Here are the chapters: 1. Sleeping Beauty - the meaning and form of fairy tales 2. The Seven Sleepers - Saint's legend, local legend, fairy tale 3. The Dragon Slayer - the style of the fairy tale 4. The Uses of Fairy Tales - Cinderella, Hansel & Gretel, The White Snake. 5. The Little Earth-Cow - symbolism in the fairy tale 6. The Living Doll - local legend and fairy tale 7. Animal Stories - a glimpse of the tales of primitive peoples 8. Rapunzel - the fairy tale as representation of a maturation process 9. The Riddle Princess - cunning, jest, and sagacity 10. The Fairy-Tale Hero - the image of man in the fairy tale 11. The Miracle in Literature

Open Source Web Development with LAMP: Using Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl, and PHP
Published in Paperback by Addison Wesley (17 December, 2002)
Authors: James B. Lee and Brent Ware
Average review score:

Super Reference

Open Source Web Development with LAMP is a very long title, but an absolutely killer book. LAMP is Linux (OS), Apache (web server) MySQL (database), Perl and PHP (scripting). This book also includes many languages not covered in other titles. I was particularly glad to see WML (Website Meta Language) which is useful for generating static pages through a robust programming construct. Static pages load faster and without any security concerns that you have with dynamic scripting languages like perl, php, embperl, or mason, all of which are covered extreemly well in this book.

I've been doing web development for about 8 years, which probably makes me pretty old in the business. I've seen the dynamic web content languages from infancy, but I've never seen a good way of learning them until now. OSWD w/ LAMP is absolutely fabulous.

Required reading for any web designer.
Open Source Development with LAMP (hereafter "OSWB") is the perfect book to learn a wide variety of server technologies that will have you writing useful, clean, fast, and productive websites before you finish reading.

I was one of the technical editors of this book, and was able to watch it evolve as they wrote. The authors have made a huge effort to make the book appropriate for multiple Linux distributions, and they have achieved the highest degree of technical accuracy.

OSWB covers many different technologies, some complementary, some discreet. By showing you many of the possible tools, this book lets you decide which is best for the job at hand.

The theory behind OSWB is that knowledge of 20% of a tool's capabilities will let you accomplish 80% of the tasks you face. OSWB does a superb job of giving the user a sizable introduction to webserver technologies that will be sufficient for most rojects, and tells you where you can get information for advanced needs...This is the first book I know of that has written their website with the exact same tools they teach you in the book, and they offer the entire source of their website for download for your investigation and reference.

The gold in this book is not just the descriptions of how the languages work, but how you can use them singly or together to create interactive websites. Their are many sample projects which let you see how everything fits together, and much of the ode can be adapted immediately to your needs. The book is extremely well integrated and organized.

I have used some of the languages described in this book, while others were completely new to me. I am definitely not a web design person, preferring to write back-end server software. owever while reading OSWB, I was charged with creating a MySQL database with a customizable web interface for my alumni organization. Using only this book and a few perldoc commands, I was able to create an interactive mod_perl website in a few days.

This book offers something to everyone, even advanced web designers. If you are starting out in Web technologies, or are curious about other ways you can get the job done, this is the book for you.
