Book Description
METCO, America's longest-running voluntary school desegregation program, has for 34 years bused black children from Boston's city neighborhoods to predominantly white suburban schools. In contrast to the infamous violence and rage of forced school busing within the city in the 1970s, METCO has quietly and calmly promoted school integration. How has this program affected the lives of its graduates? Would they choose to participate if they had it to do over again? Would they place their own children on the bus to suburbia?
Sixty-five METCO graduates vividly recall their own stories in this revealing book. Susan E. Eaton interviewed program participants who are now adults, asking them to assess the benefits and hardships of crossing racial and class lines on their way to school. Their answers poignantly show that this type of racial integration is not easy—they struggled to negotiate both black and white worlds, often feeling fully accepted in neither. Even so, nearly all the participants believe the long-term gains outweighed the costs and would choose a similar program for their own children—though not without conditions and apprehensions.
Even as courts and policymakers today are forcing the abandonment of desegregation, educators warn that students are better prepared in schools that reflect our national diversity. This book offers an accessible and moving account of a rare program that, despite serious challenges, provides a practical remedy for the persistent inequalities in American education.

What's Missing?.......2006-06-18
Why weren't there interviews of suburban kids who shared classrooms with the METCO kids? I doubt it would surprise anyone to learn that the METCO kids were disruptive, stole things, and terrorized and bullied other students. Great for race relations, eh?
There was one guy who was so bad, I looked him up a few years later to see if he was in jail yet. Turns out he became a drug dealer and got shot and killed. Of course the Boston Globe blamed it on "easy access to guns." Haha.
A GOOD READ -- OPENS YOUR EYES.......2004-04-23
I picked up this book at a friend's house and looked in it and was immediately hooked. I don't usually read sociology studies by choice but my friend, who is a sociologist, insisted that this was an insightful book and also a great read. Its a very emotional book in parts that shows you the struggles that African American children went through in order to get a good education. It very powerfully debunks the idea that African AMerican kids and parents do not value education -- read this book and you will see that no community can be depicted that way. Being a teacher in a pretty much all-white school, that recently has had a growing enrollment of African American kids -- who've sometimes seemed hestitant to join in -- I now understand that I DID NOT UNDERSTAND. Since reading this book, I have become a better educator, with more compassion and understanding -- and also an understanding of how much better my school is now that it is growing more racially diverse. SInce reading this book, I've also picked up similar books on this subject. None of them are as good -- but I await this writer's next. If you are a teacher in a school that has a minority of black children -- read this book!
this is my life!.......2004-03-09
Wow. A great book, all about me. Seriously, I got chosen for a program like this when I was in middle school. It wasn't this program, but another. It changed my life. I like the end of the book, too because it provides good suggestions and smart points about why we need more options like this for our kids. My life went in a positive direction and I watched many children with great parents who worked hard and who were so smart, not succeed like I did. All teachers of minority kids in white schools or wealthy schools should read this book.
An amazing and accurate portrayal.......2003-05-22
I was a student who took part in a program exactly like this one, in another city. I got assigned this book in my sociology class and it was so amazing for me to read it because it is exactly what I went through 5 years ago. Also, many of my friends who are black and who went to suburban schools for different reasons said they could relate to this experience. I could not believe it when I read that this author was white, because all along I was reading it and because it was so accurate and real I naturally assumed she must be a black woman. This made the truth and honesty of the book even more amazing. The book would be really good for all teachers, guidance counselor and school principals and white parents to read because it really speaks to the black child's experience in a white school. And when I was a kid in school I could not have put into words some of the struggles but also all the benefits and good things that grew out of my complicated experience. But this puts it into words what so many young people are feeling but also what they think about their experience when they are looking back as grown ups.
A great read, moving and informative.......2003-03-29
This is an excellent book. It shows readers a better alternative to so-called forced busing which got its worse name in the city of Boston. But this book is about a voluntary program that let black kids go to suburbia. The writer really lets the former students talk for themselves and because of that it is a really moving book that feels honest and real. When the writer does comment on things, it is always very graceful and plainly spoken. This book does not try to be overly academic, and so is a welcome treat to read. I wish there were more 'human' books out there about subjects like this, which are usually written in very dull, dry styles.
Customer Reviews:
A Classic.......2006-12-04
What a fun read. So much less pompous than the rest of MC stuff with a real feel for the 1960's drug seen.
I find myself quoting a line from the book repeatedly. There is a scene where the main character goes to his friends room and the girlfriend wearing only a robe, crosses her legs giving him a long slow shot. "Nothing offered," the character says, "just letting you know it's all there."
You holding NARC PLATES?.......1999-05-27
Michael's first (with his brother) venture into satire. How is your scat dropping? A bit diff than E.R. I'd say. Or Sphere, or 5 patients, or ??
An obscure classic..........1999-05-24
This book is one of those rare ones that I've reread many times over the years, for its madcap descriptions that capture a period and place that I was on the edge of -- but close enough to smell the authenticity of the writing. Of course, the plot isn't quite real, but just enough to keep you on the edge. Another thing I like about this is that it's so different from Michael Crichton's later work, very fresh and genuine, yet still wise and slightly self-mocking.
Hard-to-Find.......1998-06-08
Dealing is a very rare book. Michael Crichton wrote it with his brother Douglas. It is a far cry from any other Crichton novel, seeming to take a sarcastic look at the way things work out. It is a rare and interesting addition to a Crichton fan's collection.
My review is intense!!!.......1997-07-09
Wow! I didn't know Crichton was such a druggie. I wonder what his mother thinks of this. I got ya forty bricks right here, baby. Ya motha was a brick layer in the great city of Boston and then she went out to the west siiiiide to lose her bags o' bricks.
But seriously, it is a good book, and I recommend it to anyone who is lucky enough to find a copy.
"Crichton (Douglas) excels at brick making. This book should come with hot buttered bricks."

Customer Reviews:
breathtaking losses in Boston's architecture abound.......2003-01-11
A 1999 revised edition of the 1980 classic by one-time Boston Globe and current Nation architectural critic Jane Kay, this beautiful book is filled with images of buildings and squares tragically allowed to fall into disrepair, destroyed by fire or bulldozed for parking lots and malls. Pictures, maps and photographs are black & white, and are interspersed throughout the book, organized into subjects such as signs, spires, schools, etc. The text is arranged chronologically, and is generally well-written and highly accessible. The author delves into the history, policies and people of various times from 1630 to the present day.
Many of the buildings and areas depicted are truly beautiful, some destroyed as recently as the 1970s, when you'd think people would have known better. Scenes after the fire of November 1872 make you want to cry. I have a fair number of pictorial histories of The Hub, and still found some pictures in here that I hadn't seen elsewhere, and the author's perspective is worthwhile reading.
The book is constructed of high quality paper and concludes with picture credits, a selected bibliography and a good index. It should be of interest to those with some connection to Boston, architecture or history, particularly of the 18th and 19th century.
The history and future of the Hub of the Universe.......2002-06-18
Boston has a reputation for being something of a Puritanical stick-in-the-mud. It is surprising, then, that it has experimented so vigorously and persistently with its urban design. Some of those experiments - the Back Bay and the Emerald Necklace - we recognize as glittering successes, while others - the creation of Government Center and the Fitzgerald Expressway - are festering failures that the city is only beginning to address today. Of the numerous histories and narratives that this tremendously fertile subject has produced (many of which I've read), the most wide-ranging, elegantly written and well illustrated that I have found is Jane Holtz Kay's Lost Boston. It works equally well as a coffee table book and a curl-up-on-the-couch book.
The creation and evolution of Boston is arranged here chronologically, starting with the first settlements in 1630 and concluding with an epilogue on urban renewal and it's ramifications at the close of the 20th century. Even though it is an accurate history, it tells a great story without becoming dry or academic. The language is descriptive and accessible, introducing major players in the Boston scene, from Charles Bulfinch to James Michael Curley. You also get a wonderful feel not just for the power brokers, but the neighborhoods, people and places that made the city a vibrant place. There is a warmth to Kay's writing, without delving into sentimentality. Because the background history - the day-to-day development that made Boston the Hub of the Universe - is so readable, it helped me understand the context of major events in the city's history: filling of Back Bay, the Great Fire of November 1872 and the razing of the West End in the 1960's. Instead of examining these as isolated events, they are knit together to show the city as a living, evolving organism. It was fascinating to see how Boston reinvented itself after the Fire, to see the creation of Frederick Law Olmstead's Emerald Necklace, only to lose its way, lured by the siren song of renewal.
And throughout are some of the best photographs and period illustrations of old Boston you're likely to ever see. There are the bustling wharfs on Atlantic Avenue, the original Museum of Fine Arts (where the Hancock Tower now stands), and the graceful mansions of Roxbury. There are dozens of examples of the Boston Granite style that dominated the city's architecture before the Great Fire. For me, the most moving photographs were the ones of Adams and Scollay Square and the West End, all of which fell victim to the wrecking ball to make way for Government Center and urban renewal. They themselves serve as simple, eloquent statements for common sense and reason when it comes to grand urban experiments.
And yet, it's an unfinished history. The Big Dig - the largest public works project in American history - is nearing completion, which will bring down the despised Fitzgerald Expressway. The land cleared for that highway will yet again be developed into inhabitable space and add another major chapter in the history of the city's evolution. So as history loops back on itself in Boston, it does so in new and unforeseen ways. In that, Lost Boston serves us well as a history and a speculation on the future of the city.
A peak at the past...and present.......2001-08-17
What a treat to have this updated version of the author's classic history of Boston. The photos still resonate with the sadness of their loss and the beauty of their existence. But this isn't just a coffee table book. It remains the best history of this fascinating old, and new, city. I especially liked the supplement telling what had been saved, what was threatened and what was lost. I bought the first version 20 years ago and have bought the second to give to the next generation in my household to say how cities grow and should grow. A splendid book!
A Stunner.......2000-03-31
What a handsome book this is! I can't decide whether I liked the photos more or the text. The history is elegantly written and fascinating. How many people realize that Boston was literally created from the marshlands, spoonful by spoonful. The cast of characters who lived in this so-called Athens of America had an equally splendid selection of architects and places to live. The photos are a real treasure. I keep turning back to so many. The first edition was a classic, my mother told me. And this updated one has not only the older traditional rownhouses and state house and the pictures of the monumental construction of such attractions as the PUblic Garden and Common but a new cast. There are images of neon lights and amusement parks and the author (whose last book Asphalt Nation was a stunner with a polemic cast) has added photos of saved and threatened buildings to tell the 2lst century story. I couldn't recommend this more.

Gripping tale of the 1967 pennant race.......2007-08-04
This book captures the feel of the 1967 pennant race and the underdog Red Sox that won the title on the season's final day. Author Bill Reynold's makes us feel as if inside the clubhouse at Fenway Park alongside Carl Yastrzemski, George Scott, Jim Lonborg, Rico Petrocelli, etc. Readers learn about spring training (when few gave Boston a chance), the undorthodox style of manager Dick Williams, the long summer campaign when Chicago usually led narrowly, and the tragic August beaning of Tony Conigliaro. We also feel the tension of September as Detroit, Minnesota, Chicago and Boston battled to the wire in the closest pennant race of all time - the Red Sox taking the AL flag by a single game over both Minnesota and Detroit by besting the Twins on the season's last day. Then, there's the tense seven-game World Series against St. Louis. Reynolds introduces us to the backgrounds and personalities of many players. He also illustrates the USA in 1967 as the economy surged, urban blacks rioted, hippies protested, and the Vietnam War dragged on.
Sadly, ex-teammates Don McMahon, Joe Foy, Jerry Adair, Elston Howard and Tony Conigliaro passed away before this book arrived in 1992. And it took another 12 years before Boston finally won the 2004 World Series, their 86-year title wait exceeded only by the White Sox (1917-2005, 88 years), Phillies (1883-1980, 97 years), and Cubs (1908 and counting). This is an excellent narrative for both Red Sox rooters and all baseball fans.
Breathlessly Tells The Forgotten Dream Of 30 Summers Ago.......1997-12-01
Bill Reynolds captures the emotion that held the Boston Red Sox together that summer. From that first win on a cold April day to Tony C.'s tragic beaning, the Sox stuck like glue. In the process they created a legend that echoes in the mind of all New England sports fans. Only once in a century could a story like this unfold and only once in a century could a man retell the story with Bill Reynold's passion.

good for basics or beginners.......2007-07-08
ok for beginners and those who paint in an impressionistic style. could focus a bit more on materials. some good basic tips.
Great Foundational and Advanced Book.......2007-06-15
I'm a professional in the business and make my living as an artist. This book is a wonderful reference and is always close by on the shelf. The work in it is excellent and the principles are straight forward as well as solving lots of the problems artists and painters encounter. Love it and recommneded it many times over.
Physician, heal thyself.......2007-05-30
Sorry, I didn't like the book. I don't know how to say this kindly, but Kreutz' paintings seem to need some improvement, especially the portraits. He may have very good advice to give and should be commended for giving it, but I am reminded of the saying, "I always pass on good advice, because it never does me any good."
Finally, a book worth more than the price.......2007-02-13
I LOVE this book and keep by my easel. His checklists keep me on track.
"What are the attributes that can make this a better painting?" .......2007-01-19
As any true artist can attest, real art does not just arrive from the soul of the artist. Rather it is more often than not the result of hard-won struggles with all sorts of problems. Art in its creation is not linear. It develops by answering questions like, "What makes form look dimensional?" "How does light flow?" "How can air be represented." If the content is too dominating and the technique too finished, the painting can look impersonal. It the artist is too dominating, to expressionistic, the painting can look self-indulgent.
Gregg Kreutz in his "Problem Solving for Oil Painters" has assembled many of the questions that have occurred to him during his years as a painter. He examines the characteristics of a superior painting and shows through examples what makes one picture better than another. Some of those qualities include richness, mystery, simplicity, and focus.
Kreutz appreciates individual expression and knows that each painter develops in his or her own way. He knows that painting is not a mechanical act. When it is, the end product will be unconvincing. Painting requires creativity, insight and empathy. He builds on these attributes which vary from individual to individual with the questions that painters frequently face. He answers these in a straightforward, agnostic manner that will be useful to all painters.
This is an excellent book that will serve the intermediate to advanced to professional painter well. Kruetz's paintings have been represented in many juried shows, winning many high honors. The book is chock full of his work and I, for one, am glad. His work is inspirational and, with this book, he has forced me to raise the bar for my work by asking one question when I paint, "What are the attributes that can make this a better painting?" I no longer have any excuses - he provides plenty of answers.

A fantastic reference..........2007-08-23
A great book about creating "accidental" watercolor effects. Even if I only manage to utilize a small percentage of what Nita Engle teaches here, it will be a big help to me in my attempts to paint.
How to Make Watercolor Paint Itself.......2007-08-22
I like this book. I mislaid my first copy and had to reorder!
Nita most graciously has shared a lot of information.
Beginners may find the techniques difficult.
I personally seldom use Paynes gray pigment for the reason of the darkness it creates in my paintings. Note: I do mix my own darks.
I found Nita's textures and experiments most rewarding.
I highly recommend her book. BJ Cook Spokane Valley, WA
how to make a Watercolor paint itself.......2007-08-15
This book is in itself a great overall benefit to amatuers like myself who are basically self taught,I have found it very useful in the mixing and flowing of various colours,but experiment is the key word.Thank you Nita.
Great but, what a headache.......2007-03-20
I'm kinda novice in watercolor,and like a lot of people I'm impressed by
Mrs. Nita Engle's work. But this book discouraged me to even try.
I'll come back to it eventually in a few more year.
This is not the book for serious artists. .......2007-01-12
I was disappointed in this book. The art and techniques illustrated are of the type one might expect to see on a TV Craft Show. I would instead recomment Robert Wade's watercolor book.

I did the vampiress and japanese doll faces from this book on my daughter and friend. We made an errand to our local "clown store" and all the entertainers said how great they were. Those were just 2 of the fun face designs out of the book. The wicked reptile & colorful butterfly faces from this book are also very nice. There are over 40 faces!
Usborne Face Painting.......2006-08-01
Excellent for any birthday party or special event. Simple enough for the beginner but also interesting full face designs. Great book.
Simply the best!.......2002-10-24
For ten years, I've been painting faces for carnivals, parties, Halloween - you name it - this book can take rank beginners and allow them to paint very professional looking faces. The instructions are easy to follow, and elaborate on multiple techniques, including sponging and using different brush tips to achieve different effects. I highly recommend it - a word of caution- use only high quality face paints as they cover and blend better than the cheapos! Enjoy!

The BEST book on Norman Rockwell and his working methods.......2006-02-15
I have extensive library, including nearly every book on Norman Rockwell, and this one is my favorite next to his autobiography "MY ADVENTURES AS AN ILLUSTRATOR". This book, "ROCKWELL ON ROCKWELL," is lavishly illustrated, and more importantly, Rockwell walks the reader thru his working methods from sketching ideas to the finished painting. Very informative to both the art student and the working professional artist/illustrator.
Book Description
A lavishly illustrated guide offering complete instructions in how to make stunning stained glass items using modern materials and traditional techniques. Eleven projects, including: lamp shade, fish bowl, window pane, glass gem mirror, Mondrian clock, leaded light, glass jewelry, terrarium, Aladdin mirror, frosted vase, and candle holders.
Customer Reviews:
Old and new coming nicely together.......2000-07-05
These projects are well graded for the beginner and the more advanced worker. The text and photographs are of a high quality, clear and not over wordy. Patterns are well crafted and will make good copies. Nice combination of traditional ways of working with more progressive ideas Easily understood for this beginner. I highly recommend this book to those looking for a bit of inspiration!
