Excellent collectible.......2007-07-15

I wouldn't recommend this as a reference book, it is too outdated. Mine doesn't have a date but it is before refrigeration, so that tells you something. But it is highly of interest to the avid canary breeder as a collectible and to see how far we have come in the "cult" of canary breeding, as the book calls it....

A Fleet of Boatnecks.......2007-08-20

If you like high necklines on your sweaters then this is the book for you. 7 of the 13 patterns have high boatnecks, 2 patterns are turtlenecks and 2 cardigan patterns have high necklines. There is a nice V-neck twin set pattern, however, the largest size for the shell is a FINISHED 37"!!! The final pattern is a beautifully cabled V-neck pullover. Be aware that the largest FINISHED size in 4 of these patterns is 37, 37, 38 and 39".

Beautiful classic sweaters.......2007-05-10

Unusual stitch combinations, lovely lightweight and labor intensive sweaters. I have not dared to start a single one for the amount of time I need to finish my favorites, but I love this book.

Definitely worth owning for me for the inspiration.

Feminine designs.......2006-08-15

The value of this book is the beautiful stitches Ms. Mccauley has selected for her designs. Many readers will need to utilize the design 'sloppers' included to alter the insructions for a wider size range.

OK, but not outstanding.......2006-08-02

The patterns in this book are nice, but not very original. Some are pretty, some are ugly. I'd recommend passing on this one.

Very impressive........2006-06-10

Very impressive work. I was especially enchanted by the fact that most of the designs were ones I could wear. Being more than a little on the large size, I find the line and bulk of sweaters an important factor in whether or not I can wear them. Almost all of these designs are ones I can wear and actually look well. Most of the sweaters feature vertical bands even in the cables. The back of the sweater featured on the cover of the book has a superbly slimming line. I am inspired; I might actually be able to knit this pattern and not look like a bus wearing it when it's finished!!! The poor boy sweater on p.27 is especially nice. Again the lines are vertical. The one piece construction means the sweater is easier to make. In my case, I would probably lengthen (rather than shorten as suggested) the sweater. I hate having my hips exposed; there's too much of them! The sweater illustrated on p. 42 shares the vertical format with the other patterns, but has a yoke and sleeve pattern that focuses the eye at the shoulders and bust rather than the waist, creating an illusion of height and length. A very attractive design for a larger woman. I am very pleased with this book.

Will prove to be of immense interest .......2007-05-08

No ordinary coffee table photography book, "Orleans Embrace With The Secret Gardens Of The Vieux Carre" is a 388-page memoir of the New Orleans French Quarter featuring 49 historic black-and-white photographs and 320 full color illustrations. While the overall book draws from the previous work of Roy F. Guste, Jr., the photographs by Louis Sahuc are bonded with a personal and compelling narrative text by T. J. Fisher. Readers will encounter a work originally intended to be of local interest, but in a post-Katrina world, has emerged with universal attraction as a memorial and a motivation to restore a once great American city to its unique and original glory. Enthusiastically recommended, "Orleans Embrace With The Secret Gardens Of The Vieux Carre" will prove to be of immense interest to several categories of readership including: gardening enthusiasts, historians, architects, photographers, and anyone who has every walked along the avenues and admired the parks, gardens, and buildings of the New Orleans French Quarter.

This is a great book: it is a passionate "love song" dedicated to New Orleans. The photos and text will tug at your heartstrings.

Heartfelt Tribute .......2007-03-29

What a great book! Far more than just a pretty "coffee table" title!

Visually gorgeous, the narrative is equally powerful - you'll be transported into New Orleans past as well as learn why this city deserves a place in our future. The author's love is evident with every turn of the page.

I plan to get several as gifts. My friends will be delighted and I'll be helping this deserving community since the publisher is donating profits to preservation efforts.

Amazon.com's Best of 2001

Fragrant. Lush. Seductive. Can these words describe any city other than New Orleans? With new plant life bursting from every cranny and ancient cypress trees, the gardens here present many unusual combinations of freshness and decay. Gardens of New Orleans has captured this magnificence in full glory, with page after page of beautifully green photographs.

Authors Lake Douglas and Jeannette Hardy include historical sketches, maps, and photographs that provide an informative introduction to the city. The outdoor French Market photographs show piles of fruit you can almost taste, even if the picture is in sepia tones. The section on public spaces follows, bringing glossy color photos of charming statuary and enormous live oaks that are memorable both for their size and grace. The final chapter is filled with close-up shots of many private gardens in the city, and show off the best New Orleans has to offer: peaceful balconies, bright flowers, antique ornaments, and artfully trimmed hedges. The lovely Ursiline convent is included in this section, with its glowing white statues and peaceful paths for meditation.

In every case, photographer Richard Sexton has captured the remarkable light as it filters through the trees. His close-ups clearly show the vines and sprouts popping up between bricks and under older plants, while his landscapes showcase both the heavy greenery and the well-known cast-iron decorations on houses, fences, and furniture. Whether you're a New Orleans native or simply love impossibly green gardens, this lovely book will bring the rich flavor of this charming city to your living room. --Jill Lightner

Book Description

New Orleans is a gardener's paradise. Fragrant ginger and night-blooming jessamine scent the air. Nary a crack in the cement or divot in the wall is free from rogue ferns, mosses, or draping greenery. For generations, residents from wildly varied cultures and sensibilities have been at work creating magnificent gardens throughout the city. New Orleans Gardens explores this rich history and tours public gardens, as well as opens the doors to lovingly tended private balcony, patio, and mansion grounds. Interviews discuss the environmental and cultural forces that shaped the gardens. In photography as sumptuous as his acclaimed New Orleans: Elegance and Decadence, Richard Sexton vividly illustrates the many traditions interwoven in this bewitching city's landscape heritage.

Gardens of New Orleans: Exquisite Excess.......2007-04-28

New Orleans is a sultry, seductive city whose gardens reflect a rich history. Decadent nineteenth-Century buildings and courtyards provide an exquisite backdrop for exotic profligate vegetation. These serve as inspiration for all garden enthusiasts.

Beginning with A Brief History, that may not be brief enough; - the book stolidly drags the reader on through endless bayous of pages that recount the minutiae of the French settlers, Native Americans, African Slaves, German and Swiss farmers.

Subsequently, it combines the cities latest horticultural overlay of recent Southeast Asian immigrants depicted at vegetable markets with mounds of cut mint. Then, it offers impassive photos of the Warehouse Arts District, and dilapidated fence structures of no particular aesthetic merit, interest, or relevance.

The few published photos available to the buyer are quite nice. Nonetheless, the book itself, offers little more in the way of exotic balcony gardens, or lush French Quarter design to inspire ardent gardeners. This pre-Katrina effort adroitly circumvents all that is attractive, interesting, vibrant or comely within the city. It plods along with sluggish text, mostly unremarkable photography, and seemingly indifferent editing.

Gorgeous photos and more.......2005-10-03

Not only is the photography lush and gorgeous, but I also love the way this book has chapters on a variety of New Orleans gardens. There are examples of hidden courtyards and terraces as well as public parks and Garden District homes. There's even a comprehensive section on the history of the city. I treasure this book all the more given the recent tragic events with the hurricanes.

For lovers of gardening- it captures the heart & imagination.......2004-03-16

I was fortunate enough to find this book in a wonderful little garden shop tucked away inside the French Quarter of New Orleans. If you've never visited and seen their charming style and beauty first hand, this book is filled with superb photographs that come to life, with a wealth of great information about the homes and gardens you really will feel like you're there. For any lover of gardening, New Orleans simply transcends conventional time and space, capturing all of the senses and inspiring the heart and the imagination like no place else in the world. . .from the petite cottages to the elaborate plantations, there is garden for every home and every occassion! Tres-magnifique!!!

excellent resource.......2003-11-07

I am fortunate enough to have Lake Douglas as an instructor. He has forgotten more about landscape architecture than most people will ever know. I love going to his class because he has a genuine passion for the subject and almost limitless knowledge. Buy this book. You won't be disappointed.

Can't wait to start on my own "New Orleans" garden.......2001-07-28

I bought this book hoping to get some ideas on how to make my backyard into a New Orleans garden oasis and this book delivered. Not only is it a helpful resource for gardeners (it has a chart of commonly used plants in New Orleans gardens), but it also is nice to just leaf through and look at the pictures. My only gripe is that there weren't enough gardens featured.

I hope that it will be reprinted soon, so that I can buy it and send it to a dear friend I was telling about it.

I should have goten it when I could have........1997-06-13

I was in New Orleans recently and fell in love with the courtyard gardens that were hidden away beyond thick stone and brick walls. You could see these beautiful green, quiet oasis in contrast to the loud and sometimes bawdiness of the streets of the French Quarter, behind wrought iron fences, tucked away, for just a few to see and enjoy. I went to several bookstores in New Orleans, asking if there was a book on courtyard gardens of the French Quarter. I finally found one, The Secret Garden of the Vieux Carre. It was a beautiful book, with photographs that depicted the character of the gardens in a way that words could not. It was large and heavy and I did not have any room in my bags for another purchase. I thought, no problem, when I return home to California, I will find the book or order it. It is out of print! This could be worth a return trip to New Orleans in the very near future. I highly recommended this book.

Book Description

Daniel Urban Kiley is generally considered to be America's foremost postwar landscape architect. Yet the work from the first two decades of his career is little known, despite both its inherent interest and its importance as a testing ground for his well-known later work.
?This book focuses on Kiley's most provocative projects from 1940 to 1960. Contributors present analytical investigations of Kiley's rarely studied early housing projects and garden prototypes, his garden plans for the Hollin Hills subdivision in Washington, and, in new ways, his best-known work, the Irwin Miller Garden.

Book Description

Among America's garden cities, one of the most remarkably beautiful is New Orleans. Now the exotic New Orleans garden can live not only in romance but also in settings very close to home. Whether in the Vieux Carre or in the humid hinterlands, anyone hoping to recreate such a romantic spot in the climes of the Gulf Coast region should consult Charlotte Seidenberg's essential handbook.

In this new edition of a favorite manual among New Orleans gardeners, Seidenberg instructs how to create a beautiful garden in this subtropical, sometimes richly alluvial zone and identifies plants that over generations have become a part of the gardening heritage of New Orleans. She discusses such basics as soil preparation and pest control and advises the gardener on how to grow roses, native and exotic trees and shrubs, vines, annuals, perennials, ferns, wildflowers, bulbous and tuberous plants, and groundcovers. She instructs how best to create specialty gardens such as container gardens and herb gardens. Like many other gardeners today, she is ecology-conscious, strongly advocating that one should garden not only for beauty but also for attracting wildlife.

Gardening in New Orleans is so very different from any other place in the United States - our below sea-level status, our long hot summers, ous spasmodic heavy rainfalls, the alkalinity of our water supply, our semi-tropical climatic conditions with its accompanying infestations of pests- that it calls for a garden manual all of its own. This book contanins the actual experiences, the tried and proven methods of the members of the New Orleans Garden Society, Inc., some 1025 strong. It has been compiled from the accumulated reports, bulletins, and round table discussions of the past thirty-two years.

Adequate but not stellar..........2005-05-17

We adopted a four-year-old boy from Russia during the middle part of last year, and, of course, we faced many of the challenges that other families encounter in building trust, establishing a bond, integrating a new family member, and so forth. Having nearly survived the difficult early period, we were recommended this book by our social worker as something of interest to parents in our situation.

I found this book to be okay: helpful on the diagnosis side, but not so helpful on the resolution side.

As with other books about parenting, it does to tend to present issues more in the light of nightmare scenarios (exaggerating what most parents encounter, which is not to say that some parents don't encounter situations just like those presented, of course).

It's nice that the book immeidately goes beyond the catch-all rubric of "attachment problems", a phrase that is uselessly vague and helplessly non-specific. Our son faced (and continues to face) a number of challenges that this book does help identify (sexual abuse, abandonment, language skills, etc.) and categorizing the different kinds of issues in their own framework is a huge benefit.

It then proceeds to give bullet-point ways to try and address the situations. This is not an entirely satisfactory. Instead of seeming surefooted, these come across more like folk remedies (with no measure of success, no case studies showing whether something is working or showing lack of progress as well). Some things just seem like they are thrown out because they worked for the author. For example, why is it that giving your child a massage is a constant suggestion? I mean, yes, by all means, use physical contact as appropriate, but really now... family foot massage time is such a specific recommendation. It seems like the suggestions could use more polish.

I found a lot of the suggestions to be rather indistinctly delivered as well. Having validated one's observations (or stirred one's fears) there is relatively little material on how to work on various problems.

I don't know how things will ultimately work out for our family, of course. I like to think that, for the most part, we have the issues under control and are creating a happy, safe environment for our son. This book in many ways recognizes the challenges this presents and is valuable in helping identify challenges that might otherwise go unnoticed. But it is not so helpful in resolving the problems. For that other books might be more suitable.

Helpful tips but lacks resolution.......2005-04-05

The book is a good overview of the parenting challenges that characterize the adoption of older children. The challenges are well, though briefly, defined and described. The challenges themselves are well-illustrated with vignettes of families.

What this book really lacks is resolution to the challenges identified. The vignettes each end with the intolerable situation that drives the family to seek help. They are followed by parenting tips for handling the situation, but without a second vignette showing how the family overcame the chanllenge the book feels depressing and the problems remain unresolved. The author, in not including a resolutions to the challenges identified, has missed a valuable opportunity to show the techniques she lists in action.

Nevertheless, this is a useful book and a good overview of the area. It would be a good introduction to the area, and a good complement to a more in-depth treatment such as Deborah Gray's Attaching in Adoption.

Food for thought.......2004-05-11

The book contained chapters dealing with a variety of issues involving older child adoption, including ADHD, FAS, RAD, self esteem, creating a family, and other issues. She offered suggestions and solutions about how to best deal with these behaviors.

My one complaint involves the scenarios she outlined to explain each point. In them, she never resolved the conflicts she creates. I would have liked to see how those solutions might fit those scenarios.

The book offered me much food for thought as I considered undertaking an older child adoption.

Rare, practical book in the adoption literature.......2004-01-08

While my wife and I have not looked far and wide, it seems that much of the non-academic adoption literature is very "adopt at birth"-focused.

McCreight's book is a rarer find, focusing on the differences older-child adoption presents. It is also rare in its presentation: wonderful, bulleted recommendations in bullet form, covering all of the major behavioral problems adoptive parents might run into. (Easy to look up in crisis situations!)

Lastly, McCreight has all the best street-cred: she's both a child therapist and an adoptive parent of seven.

I'd highly recommend this text for any prospective or current adoptive parent of an older child.
