Book Description
Life couldn't be more complicated - or more dangerous - for Peter Parker. After rushing to the aftermath of the Stamford Massacre to offer aid to its victims, Peter travels with Tony Stark to Washington, D.C., and the White House - where the enactment of the Super Hero Registration Act appears imminent. As the Marvel Universe braces for the implications of legislation that will forever change the societal status of super heroes, Peter is forced to make an important personal decision - maybe the most important decision of his life. As Civil War tears apart the super hero community, will Spidey stay true to that decision? Collects Amazing Spider-Man #532-538.

Spiderman at a Crossroads.......2007-09-02
Spiderman has always been my favorite Marvel charachter. I hand't read his book in about 20 years- way back when he first got his black costume during the Superhero Secret Wars. I recenly saw he was "Back in Black" and got curious for some backstory, so I picked up this and other Marvel Civil War tie-ins.
Great Story! The theme of government Superhero oversight registration and the secret of Peter Parker's secret identity are directly at odds. Peter has some serious soul searching to do and it tears him apart. Once you read this, you will want more.
Spider-man cuts a fine figure in the major Marvel Comics Event.......2007-08-30
There are good reasons to sympathize with both factions in Marvel Comics "Civil War"--those led by Iron Man and those led by Captain America. But when posed with the question "Whose side are are you on?" I have to stand with the Amazing Spider-man. Where most of the other heroes allow the conflict to quickly degenerate into a fist-match aimed at sticking it to the other guy, Peter Parker is ever willing to reevaluate the situation based on new information. As always, his character is compelling because of his ongoing need to find out what is the right thing to do, and then doing it, no matter what it may cost him.
Constrained by the massive crossover plot of the Civil War story arc, writer J. Michael Straczynski's doesn't shine quite like he has before, but is nevertheless an asset to this major "Marvel Comics Event"; the core storyline just seems to ring a little hollow without Straczynski's fleshing out of Spider-man's perspective. Ron Carney's art is good--the webslinger cuts a fine figure in both his new and old costume. There's some good action sequences with Spider-man fighting against either side ... and we also see more of the unmasked hero, Peter Parker.
SPIDERMAN IS GOOD.......2007-08-18
OPTED FOR THIS ABOVE PETER PARKER TIE IN SO ONLY ONE SIDE FOR THIS REVIEW.I LIKED THIS STORY BUT AFTER ROAD TO C/W AND THE MAIN C/W STORY THERE ISNT MUCH LEFT TO TELL.DOES LET YOU SEE A BIT MORE ABOUT PETE DECIDING HIS FATE AND HE ENDS UP FIGHTING EVERYONE,SO NO REAL PROBLEMS FOR ME.THE BEST PART IS THE "LONG" ENDING THAT KEEPS YOU WANTING TO GET TO THE END,JUST GOOD WRITING I GEUSS.CANT WAIT TO GET THE NEXT TPB IN THE SPIDERMAN SERIES,DONT TELL ME WHAT HAPPENS!!!!SHAME SPIDEY GETS RID OF STARKS DEADLY OUTFIT,THOSE ARM THINGY'S ARE PRETTY COOL
Great Read - One of the Best in the Series.......2007-07-23
The Civil War series had great stories and flops - this is not a flop. The Spider-man story line is one of the best to read since it digs so deep into the personal life of a character most of us know pretty well. Spidey ends up going back and forth throughout the story which really keeps things interesting. Pick it up if you are a fan of Spidey or the Civil War story.
Peter Parker's decisions through Marvel's main event.......2007-07-08
Forming one of the most important crossovers of the Civil War event, this reveals the hows and whys of Peter's life altering decisions. We see him struggle with Tony's request to unmask, and with the consequences of all of his actions and allegiances throughout the Civil War. This is one of the few crossovers that can stand on its own. Highly recommended.
Book Description
Fascinating true stories of some of the most interesting and influential personalities of the Civil War. Their heroic deeds and selfless acts ranged from caring for the wounded to fighting on the battlefields. Included are Harriet Tubman, Belle Boyd, Susan B. Anthony, Clara Barton, and many others.
Customer Reviews:
Horrible.......2003-04-18
This book gave too many unwanted details and needed to cover the women in general. I do like interesting facts every once in while, but these facts weren't even interesting. It was also poorly written. I would not recommend this book to anyone!
A Disappointing Read.......2002-11-25
I am a graduate student in American History with a focus on women and their roles in the Civil War. As such I was pleased to find Garrison's Amazing Women. However, once I started reading the book I was extremely disappointed. One of the first things I noticed was the lack of citations and a bibliography. Garrison neglects to credit anyone with the information he gathered for this particular work except to say that you can find alot of information on the internet. And while I understand Garrison's intended audience to be the general public where footnotes are found to be annoying, a bibliography would surely be helpful to anyone interested in learning more about these women. Furthermore, Garrison displays an attitude throughout the work that some of the acts and actions credited to women must surely be exaggerated. What I found to be particularly annoying with the work was the attention given to the men that were spouses to the women chosen for the work. If the book is about women, write about the women. To make matters worse, Garrison also includes among his Amazing Women a man that cross-dresses. This information is irrelevant to the subject. The only positive thing I can say about Amazing Women is that Garrison provides a nice list of women who played important and diverse roles during the war. So, if you are looking for research, this book is a huge disappointment. But if you are looking for a quick read where all the information is assumed to be correct, without providing any proof then this is your book. However, if you are truly interested in learning about women's roles in the Civil War I would suggest Mary Elizabeth Massey's Women in the Civil War (University of Nebraska Press, 1966) or Elizabeth D. Leonard's All the Daring of the Soldier (Penguin Books, 1999).
Very good historical piece!! Very enjoyable!!.......2001-09-18
This was really good. It's about various women that helped shape the Civil War, whether by being Spies, Soldiers, Journalists, Angels of Mercy, or whatever. You'll be surprised how far some of these women went for their cause, and how much they accomplished in that time frame that provided them with so little independent resources. This book is a good introduction into these women, that may trigger your interest to learn more about them. I wish it provided even more information on these people, but basically it seemed to be a book to introduce you to these women and tell of their actions, then go locate more information about them.
Enlightening.......2000-04-03
This book did an excellent job on describing the roles in which women took part in during the Civil War. Webb Garrison did an excellent job choosing women to write about. Both Southern and Northern women were talked about, showing readers that these women were not as different as they had thought they were.

20 short stories about 20 amazing western women........2001-12-19
This is a great read about 20 remarkable western women of whom some you will know and others you will meet for the first time. From Sacagawea who accompanied Lewis & Clark, Georgia O'Keefe, a revolutionary in the art world to Sandra Day O'Conner, the first woman on the Supreme Court Justice, these snapshots demonstrate the tenacity and inspiration that guided these women to design their own lives. An excellent read that will inspire you to look deeper into the lives of these amazing women who helped shape the American West.
Amazing Women.......2001-10-31
A great book for learning more about women who made a difference in the frontier and later days of the West. Some subjects were familiar to me while others were completely new.
The author organizes her information in a easily read, informative manner. Each subject was well researched.
A good read!!
great gift idea for women.......2001-10-23
Trailblazers-Twenty Amazing Western Women was a fantastic book which I have already given to several friends, who are or have gone through some "rough times" in their own lives, and have thanked me for this book as it is inspirational and a comfort.
I hope it will be used in schools for teen-age girls, and in classes all over for women who seem to need stories of other women and what all they have been through and gotten through.
I would highly recommend this book and plan to give it to others for Christmas presents too. It is nice to have a story to read every night before going to bed, or if you just have a few minutes to devote to a story.
Highly enlightening. I loved it!
Trailblazers:Twenty Amazing Western Women,.......2001-10-23
This is a terrific look at women who have shaped our country's growth and direction but are always left out of those mythical History classes we have in school. There are some familiar names as well as the names of aviation pioneers and other modern unsung heroines. Each chapter is a delightful short story that has obviously been well researched. Worth the read for women and men, a must for every young girl.
Book Description
With three million soldiers scattered along a 10,000-mile front and more than 1,000 engagements, the Civil War was one in which fascinating anecdotes, colorful stories, humorous tales, and unusual coincidences were frequent. This is written in a style similar to Garrison's best-selling Civil War Curiosities. Illustrated and indexed.

Civil War for dummies? .......2005-05-04
Or maybe for people with attention spans similar to goldfish. Awful, tidbit-sized offerings that may or may not be true. You'll learn nothing of the significance of the Civil War from this offering.
A fun little book.......2002-07-04
This book is a collection of strange and little-known facts about the American Civil War. Everything is covered in this nifty little book from discipline within the armies, famous descendents and ancestors, through graft and corruption, and battles fought in the nude! (Yes, ten whole pages of them!) This is a fun little book, a nice quick read for any student of the Civil War.
Interesting and captivating!!!!!!!.......1999-06-04
I have three of Garrison's books: The Amazing Civil War, Civil War Curiosities, and More Civil War Curiosities. I would recommend each and every book to anyone! The facts that Garrison writes about are both interesting and captivating and being a high school American History teacher, I plan on using the facts that I have found no where else to captivate my students and give them a perspective on the war that they may have never found otherwise.

Book Description
In the U.S., when a patient is in need of intensive psychiatric care, the first step is hospitalization. However, elsewhere in the world, psychiatric home treatment is proposed as an alternative. Model programs in Canada and the United Kingdom are publicly administered by community health agencies or teaching hospitals. Psychiatric Home Treatment provides a review of the literature on home care and describes working programs around the world. This timely volume reviews treatment plans for different disorders with case illustrations, explains the administration of a PHC program and offers guidelines to case workers. It will be of interest to mental health professionals and policy makers working on the issue of patient hospitalization.
