The "best" collection for expecting Dad's and beyond. .......2007-09-07
With its sophisticated "New Yorker" style comics and light hearted, realistic approach. I enjoyed reading these much more than my "What to Expect" books, which I still consider invaluable resources.
I loved how these books covered practical issues, such as college savings and some relationship issues that the Mom geared books don't touch. It supplies advice about weathering Moody Moms and creative ways to offer support. It gives enough relevant information to the Dad to understand and relate to the wife's stages of pregnancy, infant health and development and charts toddlers moods and stages without bogging down with a lot of potentially superfluous detail. These books even have some special "Dad" recipes, like making pretzels in the oven, that are supposed to be fun for Dad and Toddler. (I think that is pretty neat.)
In short these are great books, geared towards Dads, covering some things that the more technical books don't have room for, AND they didn't set off my "sexist" alarms. Let me tell you, my alarms are sensitive. I loved reading these. -The Mom (Oh, and my husband liked them too!)

Historical facts. No more........2006-11-09
This is a very important book for people who want to know the facts without stories of romance and chivalry. It is very well organized with chapters dedicated to all the aspects of life from the time of the Crusades, aspects ranging from the military orders in various periods of time to the evolution of crusading literature. I recommend this book for people who need an overview of the period of the Crusades. It is also advisable, in order to comprehend the whole picture of the Crusades, to read opinions from the Muslim side. A very good book in this region is "Arab Historians of the Crusades" (The Islamic World Series) by Francesco Gabrieli.
High-gloss paper w/ a straight-forward approach to the Crusades.......2006-03-24
This is an intro book to the Crusades.
What I liked about The Oxford Illustrated History of the Crusades was it's very 'neat' look at history. It is a clean-cut array of events in prose form, with several pictures and illustrations, without moral position taken. This way, the reader can use the information given and put it into a context of discussion and a wider analysis of the time period covered. The only down-side was probably that, having used it in a classroom setting, I felt almost as if it were too 'story-book', too illustrative. The information, however, is substantial.
An excellent tome on the crusades to begin your historical journey!.......2006-01-10
The Oxford Illustrated History of the Crusades introduced me to several aspects of the military campaigns and enduring influences they had which I had never been exposed. I have read other books on this topic and have learned a great deal, however, additional topics such as poetry, song and architecture were items which up until my reading of this book I had not even considered. After reading this book you will realize as perhaps as I that one has merely scratched the surface of Crusade history. I highly recommend this source if you would be interested in getting a bigger and better picture of this often misunderstood and oft-maligned period of history in western civilization.
Not a book for the general public.......2005-07-04
On the back cover you can read: "written by a team of leading scholars, this richly illustrated book.....presents an authoritative and comprehensive history of the Crusades from the preaching of the First Crusade in 1905 to the legacy of crusading ideas and imaginery today".
In fact it is a book written by scholars for scholars only and it is very different from the other many books about the Crusades that follow a cronological description of the history of the events that took place.
The book is composed of 15 chapters, written by different authors, that have little or no coordination at all, so it is no informative. The contents are very descriptive of the orientation of the book: ... Songs of the crusades, Architecture in the latin east, Images of the crusades in the 19th and 20th centuries, Revival and Survival (the orders today). As good scholars they authors also plague the book with a lot of fashionalbe, weird and mislead theories, very much repeated along the book like that the spanish reconquista was part of the crusades.
The book has many pictures, and some of the articles-chapters are interesting because they focus more deeply on a given issue, but it doesn't treat adequately the history of the crusades, the fears, pains, feats and ambitions of the crusaders, the way of life on the Holy Land, and the daily relationships between the several clashing cultures.
After reading the book you will not have a true picture about the flow of events that lead to the Crusades and their outcome. At the most it is a book for those that already have many other books on the subject, and want to have a look to its pictures and know a particular point of view of some of its authors.
Definitely not worth buying for the general public as one of the first readings.
Review of Oxford Illustrated History of the Crusades.......2004-03-19
By:Jonathan Riley-Smith
Reviewed by:D. Wang
P.5
The Oxford Illustrated History of the Crusades is a book about you want and don't want to know about the crusades. The book's opening chapters aren't about the actual military action at all. It's about the minds of the crusaders, the songs of the time, the Latin East. It's not until chapter nine that military orders, movements, and actions are mentioned. The book concludes with a comparison of modern day events and the crusades.
I liked this book because of the sheer amount of information. on page 86 it says "Men and women, including elderly crusaders, came to Jerusalem to end their days. The charnel chambers in the Hospitallers' ruined twelfth-century cemetry-church at Alcheldamach, just outside Jersalem, are still filled with the bones of pious Christians." It is extremely doubtful you will find this variety of information in a textbook.
This book really took the effort to find all the information possible. An entire chapter of the book is devoted to songs about the crusade. There are not many books about a series of wars where an entire chapter is devouted to songs. The book puts a lot a information and visual material in 436 pages. It is very easy to be overwhelmed, and the authors should have made it easier to comprehend.
My favorite part of the book is the last chapter. "In a surprising development, however, the theology of force that underpinned crusading has been revived, especially in Latin America, by a militant wing of Christian Liberation." It is amzing how we humans fall from the same things over and over again, and this chapter previews of what might come. I like to compare our present to our past because it makes you realize how many times we've made the same mistake over and over again. Sometimes we just fail to take the past into consideration.

If metaphors were cigarettes, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd would be a chain smoker. Through many years and countless columns spent chronicling the fall of George H.W. Bush and the ascension of George W. Bush, Dowd has employed analogies to feudalism, The Godfather, Mini-Me, traditional "mommy" and "daddy" roles, and scores more. In this, her first book, Dowd compiles well over a hundred columns and summarizes the Bush dynasty under a single comprehensive analogy: an alternate universe called Bushworld ("It's their reality. We just live and die in it.") Dowd, who as a reporter was assigned to cover the elder Bush, seems to have a soft spot for the guy even as she describes a president with no plans to do anything but remain president. But she is alarmed by the younger Bush whom she sees surrounding himself with dangerous ideologues and starting a poorly thought-out war with disastrous consequences. Each column is relatively short, and Dowd never shares much new information, but instead offers the kind of informed skeptical perspective that's essential when interpreting the public statements of policymakers. Dowd's cleverness sometimes gets in the way of clarity, and one occasionally wishes she'd quit kidding around and say something substantive, especially since the reader of Bushworld will likely be several years removed from the news that inspired a particular column. Cleverness can be a virtue for a writer as well, getting a laugh while perfectly illustrating a point, such as when she says of the notoriously cloistered W. "All presidents are in a bubble, but the boy king was so insulated he was in a thermos." Or when she says of the Iraq War's aftermath "for the first time in history, Americans are searching for the reasons we went to war after the war is over." --John Moe
Book Description
From Washington to Kennebunkport to Texas to old Europe and new Europe, during the past two decades Maureen Dowd has trained her binoculars on the Bush dynasty, putting them, as both 41 and 43 have complained to her, "on the couch." Here she wittily dissects the Oedipal loop-de-loop between father and son and the Orwellian logic of the rush to war in Iraq. It's a turbulent odyssey charting how a Shakespearean cast of regents, courtiers, and neo-con Cabalists-all with their own subterranean agendas-hijack King George II's war on terror and upend the senior Bush's cherished internationalist foreign policy and Persian Gulf coalition.
As she's written about Bushworld, "It's their reality. We just live and die in it.'"
For thirty years, Maureen Dowd has written about Washington-and America-in a voice that is acerbic, passionate, outraged, and incisive. But nothing has engaged her as powerfully as the extraordinary agendas, absurdities, and obsessions of George the Younger. Drawing upon her celebrated columns, with a new introductory essay, she probes the topsy-turvy alternative universe of a group she has made recognizable by their first names, middle initials, nicknames, or numbers-41, the Boy Emperor, Rummy, Condi, Wolfie, Uncle Dick of the Underworld, General Karl, Prince of Darkness (Richard Perle), and her own nickname from W., the Cobra-as they seek an extreme makeover of the country and the world. Bushworld is a book that any reader who cares about the real world won't want to miss.

Just got it yesterday.......2007-07-22
at the local Dollar Tree store. Well worth the cost for a hardback book. I will likely pass this around to many others for a fun read. I have other Bush bashing books that I also enjoyed reading. It scares me though that through him and his cronies, our ACL are being taken away, our country is being physically and ethically destroyed while collectively we turn a blind eye.
Ugh!.......2007-04-11
Where to begin? First, I don't like Bush or his administration. I think he's one of the worst presidents since Jimmy Carter. In fact, he's one of the worst presidents ever. So I have a bias against anyone that defends him and a bias in favor of anyone that criticizes him. However, Dowd really pushes the rule. Despite my admitted dislike for Bush, I still couldn't stomach the endless drivel of Dowd in Bushworld. She needs a better editor. I stopped reading about 3/4 through the book.
Dowd is clever and she writes well. And she can be very funny. But she is like an unoiled wind generator on a summer day: she whines endlessly as she twists from one source of hot air to another.
There is no doubt that Bush is, let's say, less than a genius. In fact, most of the geniuses in the White House are less than geniuses. Rumsfeld has turned out to be a disaster that Trump would dump into the Rosie O'Donald bin. Cheney is Mr. Evil. Condi Rice reminds me of the simpering sycophants in the Wizard of Oz ready to do the bidding of a lost man who has less real substance than real illusion. Yet Dowd never mentions, let alone balances, any strengths whatsoever of these people with their limitless weaknesses. Obviously, they all rose to power because they had something, however twisted, going for them. Down provides no insight --- only a constant source of caustic comment. Her humor is always at someone else's expense.
I was also nagged by a sense that Dowd was actually jealous of the Bush family. The entire book seemed to have an arrogance similar to Bush: a swaggering approach to people and their character, an "I'm more talented than you or they are" approach, an "I met famous people too" sense of entitlement. I read briefly some of the reviews of her new misogynist book on men (and women) and the sour grapes she throws at people she can't be or have. The same platform seems to permeate her writing in Bushworld.
She is an equal opportunity cynic, I would have to say. She hates everyone. It would be nice to read a column or something from her that shows she admires someone or something (other than herself) and can find some little bit of strength and beauty in some difficult situation. Maybe she believes that her non-stop attacks of everything will allow us, the unwashed masses, to rise up and annoint her as screedess extraordinaire. I don't know. I don't like Bush, but I certainly wouldn't elect her either. The Perfect President
Gun Tottin' at the White House.......2007-03-23
You can judge a book by its cover. Just take a look at political cartoonist Pat Oliphant's cover for Maureen Dowd's Bushworld. It is unlike any other book cover you have ever seen. It shows a short, swaggering, gun-toting cowboy in a Texas ten gallon hat, walking determinedly straight out the gates of the White House, his fingers itching a mere inches away from his six shooters, ready to blow away, just outside the gates, any uncivilized varmint who threatens the territory.
Like Oliphant's dark, witty, and stylish cover, Bushworld etches into your political awareness a series of crosshatchings and lines that connect and define the characters in the Bushworld play that we are forced to live and sometimes die in.
What is remarkable is that this is Maureen Dowd's first book. She is a New York Times Op-Ed columnist and Pulitzer Prize-winning author for her distinguished commentary on the Clinton impeachment. She approached and wrote Bushworld nearly as stylistic as James Joyce approached and unveiled Ulysses. Every chapter opens with a clever title; every chapter uses a different format, a literary style that necessarily and wittingly reflects its content. She classically defines the Shakespearean characters who tromp around on our current political stage as if these characters were somehow by her own creative hand lifted right off the Elizabethan stage and plopped smartly down into the pages of her book. In rapidly-crafted snippets and metaphors, she captures the essentials of past literary works and characters. She draws upon a spectrum of movies and television shows from past and present to paint a picture of the times in which we live. Comparing politicians, world leaders, and international events to characters and plots in The Godfather, The Wizard of Oz, It's A Wonderful Life, Father Knows Best, and Ozzie and Harriet, Dowd cleverly defines the myths of our times.
Dowd draws upon the witty satire of Voltaire, the absurdities of Orwellian logic to underline a point, the tragic events inspired by Aeschylean plots, and the deep psychological effects of the Greeks' Oedipal complex to reveal the deeply troubled personality (a "Roman Candle" as she puts it) of the President of the United States, who is a young cocky Sheriff, trying to outdo his father, who was also the territory's right arm of the law. But this Young Sheriff wants to bring Peace to Dodge by picking a gunfight at high noon on main street. Fully aware and brandishing his Wild West machismo, the cocky young Sheriff is manipulated by a group of dirty, politically-scheming businessmen and respected members of the town council who pay his salary and conspire about who it is that the upstart Sheriff will face-off and shoot in the name of Justice and where the duel will take place.
[...]
[...]
[...].
According to Dowd, we are living in a Bush World, a world that is a living circus, incomprehensible, full of illogic, greed and gall, and absurdly humorous.
In the midst of all the treachery and psycho-political connections, even the Bushworld dedication reveals Maureen Dowd's ironic and healthy humor. The author is so smart, so "tuned into" the dealings and misdealings of Capital Hill politics, so versed in the literary classics past and present, so attentive to the roots of Old Europe and the changes of the new Euro World, so adept at recognizing the inner psychological pulls and tugs of world leaders and understanding how their dysfunctions manipulate and cast a dark shadow of terror and greed upon a constantly-changing paranoid world. Knowing all of this, Maureen Dowd can still take a small step backwards and say in the dedication of her book: "For my mom, who thinks all the Bushes are swell." You gotta laugh.

Maureen Dowd: Enter At Your Own Risk!.......2006-07-22
Maureen Dowd is famous (or is it infamous?) of omitting words to change meanings on quotes to prove her point. This has become known as to "dowdify" the quote. So should we really believe what we are reading? Um, no. She is obviosuly one-sided and will do anything to sell books, including misrepresenting the facts and the truth. And this book will prove to be no exception except to the non-intellectuals who will gobble out the lies that she is spewing.
Bushworl: Enter at Your Own Risk.......2006-06-07
Dowd is a brilliant writer who exposes the dirt on Bush Sr. and George W. Bush. In her unstated assumptions and metaphors Dowd implies how President Bush is an awful president and how he lacks the knowledge of potentially being a strong president. While exposing the dirt on Mr. Bush, Dowd makes fun of Bush's actions and statements and implies how Bush does not know how to run his own presidency because of his lack of leadership. In her cleverness Dowd summarizes President Bush and his administration as the Bushworld, "It's their reality. We just live and die in it". I would highly recommend this political book to those who are interested in President Bush and America's government.

Stunning Photos!.......2006-05-06
Of course, everyone loves the feisty, peppy hummingbird with it's glorious colors. This book shows details that the average birdwatcher never sees. The close up photos, some in action sequence, are a delight and there are pictures even showing the nests made of cobwebs, feathers and lichens.
The text supplements the photos giving details of the author's observations on hummingbird behavior.
One section covers the different hummingbirds, giving each variety a two-page spread. There are several photos plus a listing of the field markings, range, breeding range, winter range, nesting, migration and habitat for each.
Additional graphics are quite useful, like the one showing the names for the body parts of hummingbirds. What a useful (and beautiful) book!
Unbelievable photography.......2000-12-29
This book conains the most amazing photography imaginable (the authors' companion book Hummingbirds of the Caribbean is just as wonderful). Dazzling colors and awesome stopped-action shots. I can't imagine how it was done.
Highest praise.......1999-03-16
The wife and husband team of Esther and Robert Tyrrell logged over 30,000 miles of travel to photograph and document the 16 species of North American hummingbirds. Using his own special high-speed strobe techniques, Robert has photographed the tiny colorful birds in a variety of activities flying, perching, and nesting. The book contains over 200 amazing photographs, reproduced in dazzling color. In her text, Esther has culled information from hundreds of sources and provides a comprehensive and well-written overview of the birds' anatomy and behaviors. A must for any bird lover!
