P is for pumpkin
The book was a great price and in good shape, but I hate paying the 3.99 shipping and cannot combine it even if ordering from the same seller.

A Must Have Board Book
There are a lot of so-so board books for small children, but this is a lovely little book with an engaging and simple story.Perfect for autumn and pumpkin picking time, but conveys the seasons in a gentle way as well with spring planting, summer growing, autumn harvest, and winter seed saving.I've had this book since my oldest (now 13) was 2...this little board book has been so loved on and read so many times that I'm here purchasing another for our 4th because autumn reading won't be autumn reading without "The Little Pumpkin Book".

Cute Little Book
This is a cute little book. I do mean little. It is only 2 or 3 inches wide and 2 or three inches long. It discusses planting, harvesting, and cooking pumpkins. A very easy to read story line that is educational as well.

One of our favorites
Charming story, with "hidden" mice, ladybugs, and cats to point out on many pages.Beautiful illustrations.Short & sweet - we read it over & over & over & over again : )

A Wonderful Book
My kids enjoy this book so much.It is especially nice for young children because the author has limited the text on each page and the illustrations are wonderful.It is enjoyable to read with both my oldest and my youngest. ... Read more

Product Description
"Almost since it's beginings, photography has attempted to describe cities --I am not aware, however, of any such attempt that has been as open -minded -so philosophically generous-as that pursued by the George Gund Foundation" --John Szarkowski . Some of America's most renowned photographers are featured in this landmark project. Michael Book, Lois Conner, Judith Joy Ross, Dawoud Bey, Linda Butler, Lee Friedlander, Gregory Conniff, Frank Gohlke, Larry Fink, Douglas Lucak, Nicholas Nixon, and Barbara Bosworth explore Cleveland from the Cuyahoga River to Lake Erie, through local neighborhoods, public schools, arts institutions, and urban gardens.

Cleveland scenes seen
Each year since 1990 Cleveland's George Gund Foundation has commissioned a photographer to look at one aspect of the city and contribute photos the Foundation's Annual Report.The book has 134 photos from a 2003 exhibition at the Cleveland Museum of Art to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the Foundation.

I thought this a quite stunning look at Cleveland and the format works so well.Rather than have photos of the city mixed together the twelve photo essays let you concentrate on individual aspects: neighborhoods; schools; people working; gardens; Lake Erie and the Cuyahoga River; Metroparks and more.Each essay starts with thoughts from the relevant photographer followed by their images (the book has almost ninety percent of the exhibition's content).I thought the format makes the book very comparable to two well known city photo titles: Dream Street: W. Eugene Smith's Pittsburgh Project, 1955-1958 and Witness to the Fifties: The Pittsburgh Photographic Library, 1950-1953 (General, Photography).

The photos are of a quality I would expect from so many well known names.Lee Friedlander contributes his usual dense, fascinating compositions, he looked at people working.His selection is followed by Gregory Conniff's take on urban gardens and interestingly some of his compositions, taken through a chain-link fence are rather reminiscent of Friedlander's style.Frank Gohlke covered Lake Eire, kicking off with a remarkable shot looking out of an ice covered ruined room towards the Lake.Linda Butler has nine beautiful photos of the cities art institutions.Barbara Bosworth concentrated on the Metroparks, lovely shots but they are in a triptych format with two black upright lines rather spoiling her work.

The book is as impressive as the photo content.Meridian Printing used a 300 screen for the duotones on a lovely matt stock.Each photo has generous margins, though rather annoyingly all the captions are in the back pages.The front has a good essay from John Szarkowski about Cleveland and photography.

'A city seen' works as a lovely book with wonderful photos.

Just as they described
I didn't think it would take THAT long to get the delivery, but Amazon said it could take up to three weeks and on that very last day of the time period, it arrived.The book was just as it was described.Not brand new, but not in tatters, either.It will be a great summer read.

Excellent historical storytelling!
In the vein of Walter Lord's A NIGHT TO REMEMBER and DAY OF INFAMY, this wonderful book details the horrific journey of persecuted Jews and their desperate attempt to flee Nazi Germany.As good as the movie which it spawned.A fascinating and important read, especially for history enthusiasts.

Should be in every Holocaust library
"Voyage of the Damned" is the infamous true story of the ill-fated 1939 voyage of the S.S. St. Louis, which carried 937 Jews who were fleeing Hitler.They hoped for freedom, but found only disappointment and, in some cases, death.The St. Louis made it safely Cuba, but the passengers were turned away under the influence of Hitler's anti-Jewish propaganda.Next, they sailed for the Florida Coast, only to be refused entry into the USA because of immigration quotas.For weeks the St. Louis sailed up and down the coast while Congress debated whether to make an exception and let them in.In the end, even a plea from President Roosevelt could not open America's doors to these refugees. The St.Louis was sent back to Europe, where her passengers were dispersed to France, Belgium, Great Britain, and the Netherlands.Some perished in Hitler's concentration camps.Others lived to tell the story.

This tragic event remains an ugly blot on America's past, and is one of the reasons for the "Law of Return" in modern Israel (which allows any Jew who is fleeing persecution in any country to enter Israel immediately upon arrival with no hassles.)It is also the reason that Israel was the first country in the world to grant political asylum to Vietnamese "boat people" fleeing the Communist regime at the end of the Vietnam War. The story also had an effect on America's current immigration laws, which make better provisions for granting asylum.

"Voyage of the Damned" was first published in 1974 and became an instant bestseller.It was made into a movie in 1977, and won three Academy Award nominations.It went through a number ofprintings, and was re-issued in 1994 asa fine "coffee-table" hardcover with 300 pictures, including reproductions of tickets, telegrams, passports, menus, newspaper articles, official documents, etc. as well as photos of the crew and passengers. To make the story more personalized, the 1994 version also features "cameo" photo albums, focusing on three specific families.For sheer wealth of information as well as human interest, the photo edition is the one to buy -- if you can find a copy. ...
