Perfection achieved.......2007-09-19
Beautifully written. Historical depiction of medieval life is colorful, gritty and real. The characters are multi-layered and fascinating. The plot twists and turns are edge-of-the-seat exciting, and the stories of these people are deeply emotionally moving. Historical fiction doesn't get any better than this.
I loved it.......2007-03-08
I have read other historical fiction based in this time and place (most notably Sharon Kay Penman's trilogy of Here be Dragons, Falls the Shadow and The Reckoning). This book was written long before Penman's books, but compares very well. I was very touched by this trilogy.
An arduous climb but the view from the top is worth it........2006-10-31
You have to really WANT to finish these three books. Otherwise there are plenty of paragraphs where you might put the volume down. But the relationship between Isambard and the younger Harry, and the final payoff are well worth that effort.
These do not read as smoothly as the Cadfael series: there are a couple of sentences employing subjunctive, one early on that may leave you scratching your head, you might have to grab a good dictionary the first time you encounter "liefer", and "doubt" is often used to mean certainty. The sort of descriptive passages that Peters makes sing in the Cadfael series sound an occasional sour note here.
The core story is quite a good one, though, and the characters well-developed. Isambard is a great "honorable villain".
I'm trying to avoid spoilers here, but I will say that the circumstance that placed 3 of the characters in an important location near the end of the final book felt contrived. Also, a bit more conflict in book one would have helped add some suspense and realism. Simple setbacks like running low on the supply of a certain color stone, or having a wall collapse would have balanced things a bit. As it stands it's nearly one big happy journey until the one big conflict.
Where's Part Four?.......2006-01-24
It took me several attempts to actually read this book. It's over 900 pages and the opening chapter is rather verbose. However once I got fifty pages into The Heaven Tree, I was hooked! I love this book!
Breath Taking!!! A Must Read!!!.......2005-10-05
Ms. Pargeter's "Heaven Tree Trilogy" is a must read for fan's of historical romance specially if you are a fan of the medieval period. Although a rather lengthy read (almost 900 pages) this edition with all three stories is well worth the effort in obtaining it.
This read offeres it all as does the time in which it's set. Ms. Pargeter has brought to vivid life medieval Wales and all of the political intrigue, romance, and flavors it has to offer. Her prose and descriptive voice will gently place the read in a time that no longer exist but is recaptured brilliantly here.
This is the story of Harry, Adam, Benedetta, Gilleis, and Lord Isambard with the story starting with Harry who is a second son with an amazing talent of stone masonary. Harry is a noble man and it's due to this noblility that he gives up all for his friend Adam. This is the beginning of an epic journey that no one can imagine. With choices and decisions paving the way for future generations. And a son seeking revenge on the death of his father.
The lives of Harry, Adam, Benedetta, Harry's own son, Gilleis and Lord Isamard are so entwined that reader will be so drawn into the drama of their lives that they will be hard pressed to put down this book. There are truly no words when it comes to this amazing work of liturature. If I was to issue a warning it would be to have a BOX of kleenex on had and to be prepared to be swept back in time. Oh, and have plenty of time in order to read. I was not able to sit and read this from cover to cover but that didn't matter in the least. Whoever said time travel did not exist hasn't read this classic historical read!!!

Book Description
The NIGERIA-BIAFRA war started in mid 1967 when a tiny region of Nigeria seceded from Nigeria to become Biafra. With the complete support of the British government, Nigeria instituted a very powerful and effective blockade on Biafra. The only communication that Biafra had with the rest of the world was through the RED CROSS and CARITAS relief flights that were flown into Biafra at nights under heavy attacks from Nigerian forces. Some of the planes were shot down. With no powerful nation backing Biafra, coupled with the blockade and the consequent lack of food and medicine, surviving in Biafra became a matter of improvisements for both Biafran forces and citizens. In an area that was replete with diseases like malaria, typhoid and kwashiorkor, this book explains how the Biafran citizens were able to survive for almost three years until Biafra was defeated in January 1970.

A must-read book on surviving in Biafra.......2007-05-07
Chief Jim Ojiaku has written a fantastic and excellent expose' of the events of the Nigerian civil war from the home perspective. The rendition of his experiences, his free style of writing, enabled him to compress a large volume of facts with eloquence and details, thus, reminding the reader about why 'war is raw'. Chief Ojiaku wrote from the heart--a testament of the originality that would be a point of reference for future writers, hence there were no bibliographical references. The book portrayed how a determined people (Biafrans) courageously persevered over a thirty-month bloody civil war in the face of adversity perpetrated by world super-powers who coerced the international community to look away while they helped the Federal Government of Nigeria in its failed effort to win the war in forty-eight hours, then resorted to blockade and blanket the Biafrans both by sea, air, and land and executed the blood-letting and starvation that led to an eventual surrender to peace in 1970.
Chief Ojiaku indicated that although the battle ended in the war front, the war rages on as people from the Biafran side continue to be marginalized in almost all aspects of Nigerian life--politics, university admissions, road constructions and what have you! This book showed that Chief Jim Ojiaku can successfully make use of good advice. Thanks to his brother in law--Professor Joe Akunna who sincerely advised him to put down his thoughts in black and white.
Surviving the iron curtain exemplified how Biafra was killed in a genocidal civil unrest, but the people refused to die. The planned extermination of the Biafrans from the surface of the earth--how civilians were tortured and starved, the poor state of Biafra, how ill-equipped young people joined the war to save their people, how the Biafrans used improvises to fight valiantly as the Biblical David against Goliath. Chief Uche Jim Ojiaku did not forget the benevolence of the Red Cross and other relief organizations in breaking the iron curtain despite enemy attack. Worst still was the only twenty pounds which Biafrans received from the Nigerian Government who had any bank account in Biafran banks--being the only rehabilitation received since after the war.
Chief Jim Ojiaku deliberately refused to deal with the blame game that characterizes every war. He was right to blame both sides in order to allow the reader to understand his reason for writing the book. Finally Biafra surrendered through the courage and bravery of Colonel Philip Effiong who helped to salvage the human skull that was left of Biafra--in 1970. I strongly recommend this book to all who profess to the Biafran cause-both old and young--a reminder of the indelible scar--that was Biafra.
Surviving the iron curtain by Chief Uche Jim Ojiaku.......2007-04-23
In reading Chief Uche Jim Ojiaku's book I learned a piece of history that needs to be read by everyone and the world needs to remember the horrors of the war between Nigeria and The Republic Of Biafra and a war that tore apart a country.
He tells of one story about his brother Emmanuel who is killed at the front at the young age of 19 and the beautiful touching letter his father writes to his dead son, "An Epitath To Lt. Emmanuel Ojiaku."
This letter is heart breaking and no one would forget reading it. He writes very lovingly about his mother, father, brothers and sisters and especially about his love for his people. He brings forth in his book many beautiful photographs and diagrams on the many foods in his region and explains in great detail on each food and how they're prepared.
This book is a must read. Jim brings forth the great love he has for his people, his family and most of all his great country.
I give Chief Uche Jim Ojiaku five stars ***** for a book well written.

Book Description
Welcomed worldwide on its first publication, this practical and lively guide for the amateur genealogist has now been fully revised and updated. The new material includes a section on medieval genealogy which targets the increasing numbers of family historians who have reached back as far as the sixteenth century and wish to go further. Heraldry is introduced for the first time. There is detail on the location and genealogical content of military records and the records of Poor Law Unions and their workhouses. Details are also included of the latest changes to the location and cost of civil registration sources. A problem-solving manual rather than a simple how-to guide, The family tree detective explains what to do when the usual methods fail and provides invaluable assistance for those without access to London’s vast resources of genealogical information.

Book Description
Michael Faraday's social origins, his thought processes, his methods of experimentation, and his religion have all been subjects of exhaustive analysis by historians and philosophers of science. One aspect of his work, which provides unique insight into his career path and the way in which his mind worked, has not received much emphasis outside the realm of academic professionals: namely, his writing. The Philosopher's Tree: Michael Faraday's Life and Work in His Own Words is an illustrated anthology of Faraday's writings compiled with commentary by Professor Peter Day, the director of the Royal Institution of Great Britain. From when he was a teenage apprentice bookbinder until his final resignation from the Royal Institution due to failing memory, Faraday wrote voluminously and his output took many forms. Apart from letters, Faraday kept journals (both scientific and personal); as a practicing scientist, he wrote articles in learned journals; as an adviser to the government and to many other agencies, he wrote reports; and as a supremely successful communicator (especially to young people), he left lecture notes and transcripts. All of these writings add life, color, and depth of focus to the stereotypical scientific colossus. Although Faraday's life was largely lived within what might appear to be very narrow geographical confines (just a few miles around 21 Albemarle Street in London's West End), his professional, social, and family relationships were extensive and diverse, and his responses to them equally complex. Through all the forms of expression that his multifaceted career required of him, one fact shines clearly: not only is Faraday one of the world greatest scientists, he showed enviable quality as a writer.

Book Description
Some thirty-five thousand people were condemned to death in England and Wales between 1770 and 1830, and seven thousand were ultimately executed, the majority convicted of crimes such as burglary, horse theft, or forgery. Mostly poor trades people--weavers, clerks, whipmakers--these terrified
men and women would suffer excruciating death before large and excited crowds. Indeed, crowds of three to seven thousand were normal, and for famous cases, the mob could swell to fifty thousand or more (a hundred thousand were said to have watched the hanging of murderers Holloway and Haggarty--so
great a throng that thirty spectators were crushed to death). What brought people out for such a gruesome spectacle? How did they feel about the deadly justice meted out in their midst? These are some of the questions examined in The Hanging Tree, a fascinating history of public executions in their
awful heyday in England.
Drawing on letters, diaries, ballads, and poignant appeals for mercy, V.A.C. Gatrell vividly recreates the social atmosphere and heated debate swirling about these cruel spectacles. He gives readers an unflinching look at what these executions were really like, paints a colorful portrait of the
large crowds who gathered to watch, and describes the part the gallows played in the popular imagination (as reflected in flash ballads, Punch and Judy shows, and broadsides). Gatrell illuminates the debate over public execution that raged in polite society, discussing the commentary of writers such
as Boswell, Byron, Thackeray, and Dickens, most of whom deplored the behavior of the crowd more than the inhumanity of the sentence (Macaulay denounced abolitionists as effeminate). And Gatrell also examines the attitudes of the judges, politicians, and monarch who decided who should be reprieved
and who should hang (a mortal decision often delivered with the one-sentence formula: "Let the law run its course"). Throughout the book, Gatrell traces how attitudes to death and suffering changed as the century progressed (after 1837, for instance, only murderers were hung, and after 1868, public
exeuctions were abolished). Perhaps most surprising, Gatrell reveals that the demise of public hanging owed little to humanitarianism. In part, polite society simply preferred not to look at the ugly machine of justice that subtly served their interests. But ultimately, Gatrell contends, it was the
unleashed passions of the scaffold crowd the unsettled the middle class: the crowd mirrored the state's violence too candidly and gave the lie to middle-class pretensions of civility and humanity.
Panoramic in scope, authoritatively researched, and gripping from beginning to end, The Hanging Tree radically alters our sense of the past. It is not only a history of emotions, but also an emotional story, invested with the author's own incredulity and anger over the merciless events he
chronicles. Taking up the plight of those who felt the hand of justice at its heaviest, he recaptures the lived experience of people poorly served by their own criminal law.

Leaves all others on the subject in its wake.......2002-07-17
Forget the rest this book leaves all others on the subject for dead. Having read more than 20 books on hanging through the ages this one tells it as it was, warts and all. Clearly the author is a true master and has done the research necassry to produce such a fine work and historical review.

This is the first full-length guide published in English to explore all the attractions of the little-known country of Montenegro. From natural history and mountain walks to seaside breaks and hidden monasteries and churches, this book covers every aspect of the history of this often embattled republic and the wide-ranging variety of its cultural heritage.
Customer Reviews:
The worst Bradt book I've ever used.......2007-09-17
I have greatly enjoyed many Bradt guides, especially for Ethiopia, Ghana, Rwanda, Uganda, and Mauritius, but the Montenegro guidebook is one of the most frustrating guidebooks I have ever used. The author is obviously a great fan of Montenegro as am I, but she writes in a narrative style which is really not helpful to the traveler using the book on the road. She tells the reader about dogs and old women you will come across, but neglects to include practical information, like several maps that could have been useful (for the daytrip recommendation into Albania, for hiking in Durmitor). She is a great lover of food and raves about certain restaurants but fails to give many practical details about several of the top destinations in the country. I could not believe that she did not discuss any of the great hikes in Durmitor, saying that it was "beyond the scope of a guidebook" to discuss the major hikes there. Why didn't she discuss Podgorica's main landmark, the Millenium Bridge? It was constructed a few years before the book was published. And her thesaurus use had me rolling my eyes at times (Podgorica's "propinquity" to the coast; Budva's beach "pullulates" with bodies...). I would have given this book one star, but it's the only English-language guidebook devoted to Montenegro, so I give her credit for that. I do not recommend the Bradt Montenegro guidebook.
The Guide for Visiting Montenegro.......2007-05-13
I only wish I could have gone to all the places this book tells about. It was, however, a terrific help in getting the best out of my way-too-short side trip during a visit to AlbaniaAlbania, 2nd: The Bradt Travel Guide. Even if you don't like guide books as a rule, if you are interested in Montenegro, this is an excellent resource. Of course, as with all such publications, some information is out of date before the book is published; but Ms. Reille and other Brandt Guide writers are so familiar with the countries they write about that the really important information (little-known places to visit, eat, stay, etc. that will make your trip particularly memorable), are going to be there for you, even if rates, hours, frequency of transport departures, etc. have been altered.
Well written.......2006-12-02
Reviewed by Olivera Baumgartner-Jackson for Reader Views (11/06)
The Balkans are an area that the Westerners rarely dare to tackle, whether in writing or in person; and when they do attempt to do it, all too often they end up in a convoluted maze of sentiments, ideas and facts so incomprehensible to them that they either give up or leave with a totally wrong impression. Therefore it was so very refreshing to read such a well researched travel guide as this guide to the tiny country of Montenegro.
Let me start by saying that some of my family roots actually are from Montenegro and I also worked there as a tour guide many years ago. Studying the history and the people of the truly amazingly beautiful country of Montenegro made me fall in love with it even more deeply. Well, it seems that something similar happened to Annalisa Rellie. Her love for Montenegro and the desire to truly understand this magical country and its charming inhabitants shines from every page.
This is an exceptionally useful guidebook with all of the usual, expected information; but it will also give you an unprecedented insight into the reality of everyday life in Montenegro. Ms. Rellie included even such tidbits as what are the little white squares of paper pinned to roadside trees (burial notices) and what do the different color of borders on them mean (well, for that you should get the book and find out yourself...) Her descriptions of locations are extremely picturesque and very visual, down to the two dogs chained by a local inn in the mountains. She definitely took me on a trip down memory lane with her vivid portrayals of locations, events and people.
As I mentioned previously, the guidebook includes all of the usual, expected and useful sections on geography, history, economy, people, politics, and practical information on when and how to travel and what to do and not to do, as well as extensively researched guide to sights, tastes and sounds of Montenegro. (And yes, I agree with Ms. Rellie that most of Montenegrin music is an acquired taste for Westerners ears... Oh, most definitely so...)
You will even find a section with several very authentic, very tasty recipes for traditional dishes - which made me extremely hungry! If all of that is not adventurous enough for you, Ms. Rellie included information on a side trip to Albania. It does not get much more adventurous as that...
I was quite impressed by the accuracy of spelling throughout the book, especially in view of the fact that the language in Montenegro has been evolving greatly in the last couple of decades. There are some cute misspellings (wrong word for cheese in the glossary...) and some not-so-cute ones (consistent misspelling of the name of the former Yugoslav president...), but overall nothing too distracting.
Well written, well researched, with a selection of wonderful photographs showing a tiny fraction of the natural beauty of Montenegro, this guidebook, "Montenegro," will be of great help to anybody desiring to visit this jewel of a country.
A major disappointment.......2006-11-29
I bought this book because it was the most recently published guide to Montenegro, although it was printed before Montenegro became a state unto itself in May 2006. I have spent a lot of time in the Balkans but this visit in October 2006 was my first to Montenegro. The book assumes, for the most part, that the reader/traveler has their own vehicle (as well as a big bank account); there is almost no information regarding public transportation. Many of the hotels listed have raised their prices substantially (a consequence of being mentioned in this guide?), or were closed for renovation or for the season. Why weren't there more moderately-priced hotels mentioned? I know that situations are bound to change from the moment the manuscript is handed to the publisher to the time it finds its way into the traveler's hands, but this is true of all guidebooks. This is the first one that I've bought in which so many things were incorrect.
For example, the only hotel in Rosaje was being renovated, and all that could be found for me in the town was a room with four beds, two of which were already occupied. This is not Rellie's fault, obviously, but couldn't she have done a little more research and come up with some alternatives? Instead, I jumped on a bus to Podgorica, the capitol, and found one of the two hotels on my trip that measured up to the author's description. It was more than I really wanted to pay, but at 8pm, when it's dark, and you're in a strange city, there aren't too many choices. She also seems to have a problem with measuring distances. When she notes that a hotel is 50 meters from the bus station, I think "150 feet," but in fact the distance was much more than that; I was glad I hadn't walked.
Another thing that bothered me was her constant oooohing and ahhhhing and la-di-da-ing. The traveler needs practical advice, not being told to steal a boat to see a certain sight. A major disappointment was the beach town of Ulcinq. It's not worth a stop, unless you plan to eat at the fabulous (and affordable) Dolcino Restaurant (not mentioned in the book). Otherwise, there is little else to hold your interest. Unless you enjoy shopping in the many "Kina" shops (cheap Chinese merchandise), there is nothing that is charming here; the town is chock-a-block with touristy shops, many of which were closed for the season. The citadel has, for the most part, become invisible, due to the many restaurants and hotels built on top of one another up there. And, I have to ask: Would YOU want to stay at a hotel named "Albatros?" (It wasn't open.)
Fails Miserably on Practical Details.......2006-09-04
This book is probably the poorest one in Bradt's unique series of guides covering the relatively little-known countries of the Balkan region. While most other Bradt guides successfully combine insightful background info and coverage of sights with providing the useful and necessary practical travel information, this one fails on the latter front miserably.
A previous reviewer has already pointed out some shortcomings, but I could also add that coverage of accomodation option was often poor, especially lacking in the budget options - and for some towns listing no places to stay at all! Even worse is the almost complete lack of information on public transport. The author very obviously toured the country by car and couldn't be bothered to check out the existence and fares of buses and trains that are used to get around by most independant travellers!
While coverage of sights was mostly OK, it also proved pretty bad about, of all places, the nation's capital, Podgorica!
Without exception all those people whom I met using this guide were quite unhappy with it.
One can only hope that the publisher will eventually take note and either get a new author to rewrite the book, or provide some strong guidelines to the current author on what practical details are needed to bring this book in line with the quality of Bradt guides to the neighbouring countries: the ones covering Albania, Serbia and Hungary are all very good and could serve as a model.
Until that happens, you have a choice of buying this book just to plan WHERE you want to go (but not HOW!), or simply wait till you reach Montenegro and visit the tourist offices there that will provide you with just as many useful ideas on places to visit, and more heplful info on transport and accomodation!
