I was fascinated by the information presented in this book, especially with the insight into children with serious learning and behavior problems. It gave me information that I was able to use with children I was working with who displayed the difficulties described in the book. What a tremendous help!

Gladys is my great-grandmother. This is a great book and compilation of Andrew Morgans writings, hence, its title. I haven't picked up this book for a few years, but most memorable to me was his tale of the western men ordering wives! I believe it was a fictional poem (based on a thread of reality???) - but it is quite funny the way it is woven together.

I recommend this book highly for anyone from the Evan Morgan heritage; or anyone from Adams County, Washington.

I love this book. It has the right amount of humor in each chapter to balance the very deep meaniful words of the writer with regard to how he came to understand what "wilderness" really is. The chapters are great stories which will make you smile and feel. It reads beautifully, his writing is like poetry in its flow. It is not a nature freek book, it is about a boy who grows up on an island in the summers and goes from a person who races motor boats up and down the shore to a person who loses his place in the fishing world because he sees things differently. I loved it.

This book was really great! I loved the way the chemistry was with the characters. This book made me feel all warm and tingly inside. I was a little sad when I finished the stories. I did not want them to end.

Recommended reading for those looking for the truth regarding the undercover war between the East and West from WW2. Hostages, terror attacks, invasions, and counter insurgancy by Delta Force, SAS, and Spetsnaz are covered in fine detail; the overzealous tactics by the Reagan administration (involvement in Grenada, Contas, Vietnam, Iran/Iraq war, Angola), in achieving their selfish goals still leaves a sour taste in this reviewers mouth; yet again this book proves that the USA's world babysitter mentality, has caused more misery in the world than has stopped. An eye-opener, although with end of Cold War- rather dated commentary today.

True Humans, they thought of themselves as lords of the universe and looked upon D'Neerians, the only human telepaths as being not quite human, not quite trustworthy. But a few humans could see the potential. So when the starship Endeavor was launched, D'Neerian navigator Lady Hannah was on board. And ultimately the voyage of discovery would all depend on her.

Enjoy all of the Sewing Connection books. Shirley has a nice conversational style. Series 3 goes for the technical information and makes it easy to understand. Cute kid's quilt that folds into a pillow!

This book is worth its weight in gold. I am so glad that I have it.

Among the things in this book from which I've found inspiration and the jumping-off point for creativity are:

- Let your fabric speak to you. Learn to shop first for the fabric and then find the pattern IT wants you to use. This chapter taught me much about how to avoid the regrets of poor fabric choices for a given project.

- Suits Me To a T(Shirt) - how to take the most basic of patterns and jazz it up for about any occasion, including maternity!

- Pattern-free blouses. This chapter title says it all. Let your fabric speak and let the artist inside of you come jumping out to help you make your own wearable art.

and my favorite of all... the one that prompted me initially to buy the book after seeing Ms. Adams at a workshop...

- Neckline Nuances -- how to take wardrobe staples and boost them to a new level of appropriateness for any occasion with simple additions of neckline variables. Too hot at that seminar for a blouse and a suit coat but a suit coat would be required? Not enough room in the luggage for so many blouses? How about a fake blouse that's really only a fancy dickey?

(If you see her at the workshop, she'll make you laugh so hard with her stories about trying to remember that you cannot take off a jacket if you're only wearing a dickey underneath.)

This little gem of a book will open a world of creativity for you, and teach you much about wise fabric and pattern choices in the meantime.

Happy Sewing!

PS - I once had the marvelous privilege of meeting Ms. Adams at a seminar she presented. If you ever get the opportunity, go!

This book didn't work well with a lamp, but worked really well with a old 3 M Overhead Projector. The only problem is the stiffness of the binding which makes it hard to lay the page flat on the Projector plate, a spiral binding would make laying the pages flat a lot easer.

The work of psychologist Silvan Tomkins may finally earn reappraisal, thanks to this collection. Editors Sedgwick and Frank have chosen wisely from Tomkins' four-volume investigation of affect, Affect,Imagery, and Consciousness, presenting in this collection an overview of Tomkins'groundbreaking work.

Silvan Tomkins outlines a way of thinking about affect that is part-science, part-poetry; his work on shame, in particular, offers insights not just for psychologists but for anyone interested in the mysterious and pervasive mechanisms of shame in social and intimate life. The brilliant introduction, "Shame in the Cybernetic Fold," relocates Tomkins' work for a contemporary and interdisciplinary audience. Fans of editor Sedgwick will be fascinated, I think, by her explorations in unfamiliar territory; equally, the introduction excites interest in newcomer Frank. I found this book enthralling, leading me straight to Tomkins' own collections.
