Restoring Women's History through Historic Preservation (Center Books on Contemporary Landscape Design) Review

Restoring Women's History through Historic Preservation (Center Books on Contemporary Landscape Design) Overview

Historic sites are visited by millions of people every year, but most of these places perpetuate the public notion that men have been the primary agents of historical change. This book reveals that historic sites and buildings have much to tell us about women's history. It documents women's contributions to the historic preservation movement at places such as Mount Vernon and explores women's history at several existing landmarks such as historic homes, as wells as in a wider array of cultural landscapes ranging from nurses' residences in Montreal to prostitutes' quarters in Los Angeles. The book includes essays on six exemplary projects that have advanced the integration of women's history into historic preservation and closes with three perspectives on preservation policy and practice.

National in scope but applicable in any locality, Restoring Women's History through Historic Preservation combines the most important recently published information with the best new research and covers many national, state, and local initiatives of the past decade. It collects in one volume the seminal work of twenty academic historians, preservationists, and professionals at parks and monuments throughout the country who examine practical ways to represent women's history through historic preservation programs.

Over the past several decades, work in the areas of women's history and historic preservation has done much to change not only how we regard history but also how we might broaden the very notion of what we consider historical. This volume reflects a growing commitment to historic preservation and shows how practitioners in both fields can benefit from an exchange of insights and create more effective public history.

Making Family Websites: Fun & Easy Ways to Share Memories (A Lark Photography Book)

Making Family Websites: Fun & Easy Ways to Share Memories (A Lark Photography Book) Review

I got this book from the library and may eventually buy it when the book is due. I got it to get a crash course in making a website. It has lots of pictures, like a children's book, and is very easy to read and understand. I found it quite inspiring.

Like a children's book, it introduces the subject without going into a lot of detail. The author seems to approach designing the pages of a website as though she were making scrapbook pages. Her pages are very warm and lighthearted and full of color. She gives lots of ideas and many tips.

I think that the author pretty well covers the areas of making websites using a drag and drop program. However, I say this not having made a website of my own yet since I am still bogged down in learning to work with digital photos on the computer. Not even having a digital camera, I'm beginning from scratch and trying to learn a lot of different things at once, such as scanning and the several programs I have available to edit and save images. YouTube is still beyond me. I keep her book at hand to refer to as I learn about each area.

The author has included a glossary and resources section in the back to get you to the next level. Her photos and illustrations are great fun to look at. Overall, therefore, I will say that this book is a great introduction for beginners to learn about making websites.

Online Travel (Eu-Independent)

Online Travel (Eu-Independent) Review

Online Travel (Eu-Independent) Overview

Where are the best travel deals on line? How can you traverse the fine print of travel industry rules and restrictions to your advantage? Where can you get the most reliable advice? No mere Yellow Pages of travel-related Web sites, ONLINE TRAVEL focuses on helping do-it-yourself travel planners thoroughly understand and exploit their best options on line. Written by syndicated national columnist and travel expert Ed Perkins, ONLINE TRAVEL takes readers inside the travel industry before unloosing them on the Internet. A winner of the Traveler's Advocate Award from the American Society of Travel Agents, Perkins decodes much of the arcana of industry terminology and practices, arming consumers with the whats, whys, and how-to's for getting the best deals-and avoiding mistakes. He guides the online travel buyer through recommended resources-everything from sites for individual airlines and hotels to independent booking services, including Expedia.com-explaining their advantages and limitations, and offering "Inside-the-system" tips for getting the best service and prices. With ONLINE TRAVEL, anyone can plan and book their next excursion like a pro!

Online Travel (Eu-Independent) Specifications

If you buy tickets and other travel services on the Internet, you typically spend more per purchase on travel than on anything else that you buy online. That's just one reason to keep familiar with the travel sites. Ed Perkins, a syndicated travel columnist and Microsoft Expedia staff writer, shares his knowledge of online travel resources in Online Travel. You get the inside scoop on Expedia, as you'd expect, but you also find out the best independent sites for hotel bookings, temporary home swaps, and cruise arrangements. The book describes sound bidding strategies for auction sites, and explains how reverse-auctions like Priceline.com work (more specifically, how you can end up paying more than you have to). If there are any shortcomings, they'd be a lack of references to sites where you can do cultural and historical research into your destinations; also, the book overfocuses a bit on North American travel.

A lot of the value in this book--and there's plenty of it--comes from information that has nothing at all to do with the Internet: for example, the differences in the ways that various airlines operate premium economy-class sections. Eva Air is touted as the best premium-economy deal in the world, and easy ways to get hotel discounts are revealed. That's the kind of information that only an experienced writer could share, and a perusal of this book is likely to make your next travel experience less costly and more comfortable. --David Wall

Topics covered: A travel columnist with knowledge of how to get bargains reveals the resources that he uses on the Internet, including Expedia, Priceline.com, and other big and not-so-big travel sites. You'll find details on where discount travel services come from, and how you can save money by knowing where to look.
