Very good, but for my, maybe to much big spaces. Good photos and ideas!
great book.......2006-06-30
This book is the third instalment of this book series. This book continues impress me with its unique and impressive designs around the world. This book shows that there's more to resedential design than cookie-cutter homes.
Book Description
Developed soon after World War II, the de Havilland Beaver has become one of the most successful and long-lived designs in aviation history. The Beaver was conceived as a “half-ton flying pickup truck” capable of setting down on land, water, and snow. Since its conception the Beaver has been adopted worldwide, becoming the floatplane of choice for island-hopping along the Pacific Northwest, flying into the Arctic, transporting missionaries and doctors into remote spots in Africa, and serving as a support aircraft in Antarctic expeditions. The Beaver also became “the generals’ Jeep” during the Korean War — and the generals’ favorite transport to fishing spots in peacetime.

A Love Song to an Airplane........2005-12-03
A Great Airplane, and a Great Example of Niche Marketing.
World War II was an aviation war. Literally thousands of airplanes were produced and offered for sale after the war. While this included P-51's and B-17's, it also included smaller planes such as the small observation planes. The market for most airplane companies was difficult.
de Havilland corporation in Canada looked around for a niche where they could design and build a plane that would sell in sufficient quantity to keep them alive. They decided that they would build the greatest Bush Plane that ever existed. And they did.
The thought when they were doing the design was to build the airplane equivalent of the half-ton pickup. The plane was first designed around a smaller engine, so when they decided to use the P&W 450 hp engine, it became quite a performer.
As a marketing niche during difficult times, it essentially saved de Havilland as an aircraft manufacturer. Almost 2,000 planes were build, a long way from the Cessna/Piper production numbers, but it was a much more expensive airplane.
This book is the story of the plane, and it really describes a love affair with the plane.
Greatest Book on the Greatest Bush Plane.......2003-03-15
I first flew in a Beaver in Viet Nam. Didn't know what it was but enjoyed the flight( didn't get shot at ). It was Olive drab with black insignias. A circle with a Beaver inside surrounded by the words" Low, Slow , Reliable" . My second experience in a Beaver was on floats in Alaska some 15 years later. This plane had fish guts, moose meat and Dall Ram intesines. It was the greatest adventure. I fell in love with the plane, along with the romance and adventures it could bring to you.
This book explains everything about the Beaver. Its conception , its improvements and finally its rightful place in aviation history. The plane has improved since it was first designed and built. Built in Canada, flown mostly by the US and reinvented again in BC and Seattle airplane restoration shops. It truly is an amazing story. This book presents it all, text, photos and anything else you might want to know or see. If you live near the water in the Northwest you will have heard and seen a Beaver. If you have flown in Ak you probaly were close to , if not inside, a Beaver. The book is simply the very best on the subject. Buy it , read it, memorize it. Have fun and happy flying. The only two things could be better than owning this book: 1) owning a real Beaver on floats - about $750K ( or more) 2) Flying a Simulator of a Beaver on Floats. About $150. The book
<$20. Oh, you can build models of the Beaver; both non powered and RC vesions both wheels and floats. They just don't seem the same however.
He got d' Beaver Fever.......2000-05-25
All aircraft are good, or else they wouldn't land safely; only a few become legends, such as the Douglas DC - 3 and the de Havilland Beaver, the world's greatest bush plane built in Canada at Downsview, Ontario, from 1947 to 1967.
The Beaver was a typically Canadian project, it is rugged, reliable, durable and practical for people who were haulers of water and hewers of wood. It is the haul-anything, go-anywhere pickup truck of the air; similar to their earthbound brothers before they became "sport utility vehicles" that are too genteel to stray from perfect pavement. The Beaver is 30 feet long, with a 48 foot wingspan, cruises at 125 miles an hour with a 1,500 pound payload -- and weighs less than most SUVs.
Phil Garratt, longtime head of DHC, created the Beaver. Think of him as an original Sam Walton with an MBWA degree -- management by walking around -- long before Walton. Garratt didn't like rules, titles or organization charts. His favorite expression was, "You know what you're here for, go do it." The people who designed and built the first Beaver were like the dot com pioneers of the Internet who became legendary for living on pizza and Pepsi and working around the clock. Under Garratt, there were no time clocks. When workers came late, they worked late. If Sunday was needed for work, then Sunday was a work day. Garratt knew he was building the world's best bush plane, he inspired that vision. People who create exciting new projects sometimes don't rest even on the seventh day.
Sean Rossiter captures the mood and spirit of de Havilland Canada. This isn't a dull, dry, `how I built an airplane' book, it's a story of teamwork, spirit, confidence and fun. When I worked in Test Flight at DHC in the 1960's, it was a company filled with pride, legends and humor. Many stories seemed too fanciful to be true, but most turned out to be solid fact. Rossiter presents facts, stories, legends and with typical Canadian spirit includes the humor. It is a superb book.
In the final analysis, when you look at anything worthwhile, people make the difference. In Canada, just after World War II, there was a glowing confidence that anything could be done. A few miles away at Malton, Canadians built the Avro Jetliner which first flew in 1949. Since neither Canada nor the world needed 1,692 superlative bush planes, most were built for military use. The US bought 980 Beavers, the first foreign planes bought in peacetime by both the US Army and Air Force. The US didn't buy any Jetliners, thus only the one was built (there's an attitude in Canada that if the US doesn't buy a product, then it's not worth buying).
The last Beaver was built in 1967, Canada's Centennial Year. The English owners of DHC closed the production line because the inventory had increased to a couple of unsold aircraft. Today, 53 years after the Beaver's first flight, a thousand or more are still flying. How do you justify making more if they won't wear out?
Several firms in Canada and the US refurbish used Beavers, and some will still fly 50 years from now. These survivors aren't pampered pets of millionaires, carefully tucked into air conditioned hangers; they fly every day over some of the world's most rugged terrain. A century is a long time for the commercial life of any aircraft; but hundreds of Beavers may achieve it.
They're like the Model T Ford, the DC-3, the World War II Jeep -- the best ever built for a specific purpose. But, the world moves on. Today, people want a Lincoln Navigator, a Boeing 737, or a Hummer. Yet, a first love lingers long. One of Canada's best bush plane operators summed up the widespread love of pilots and passengers for this plane, "He got d' Beaver fever."
They couldn't have been built in any country but Canada, and Rossiter nicely sums up this immortal plane and the unforgettable characters who made it so. Read it, and catch some of ". . . d' Beaver fever."
Customer Reviews:
Christian centric.......2006-01-29
The book is well organized and indexed. It includes a glossary of over 1,100 entries. It is also nicely illustated, with over 200 photographs, nearly half of them in color.
I had hoped that this book would be a fairly balanced exploration of the world's spirituality. It is not. It is more a history of religion with a Christian bias. In each section, except those dedicated to Christianity, one clearly gets the sense that it is written from the perspective of an outsider. Dismissive statements and questionable conclusions are the rule.
Take heed from the book's preface concerning the 52 contributors listed; "They write from a Christian concern to descibe each faith 'as it is'...If conviction shows through, however, it is because there can never be total objectivity when it comes to deeply-held matters of belief."
Indeed.
informative, but highly opinionated.......2003-04-19
this book gives a basic overview of the worlds religions, but i found it a bit frustrating to read. in my opinion, anyone wishing to read the basic facts of each religion out of curiousity alone, will find that certian excerpts are highly opinionated. the section on buddhism, one part of it is titled, "the appeal of buddhism in the west", this is not problem, but do we need support why "people can live good lives only when given new life by jesus christ, otherwise they are powerless... and ...unable to escape the cycle of sin and death...." one other example is in response to a zen buddihist excerpt which the authors says, "this thinking is pushed to the absurd, it is useless to seek rational answers to them, the tension they produce must be borne to the utmost...." there are many other statments like these peppered throughout this book. on the other hand it does have some good information making it a useful introduction to the many religions. maybe the best thing would be a more appropiate title for the book, so that people who would like a nuetral yet informative approach will be better informed.
SUPERB SURVEY AND INVALUABLE REFERENCE BOOK.......2000-12-09
I am enrolled in a masters program where this is an assigned text for an elective. After having been force-fed literally hundreds of readings from hundreds of books - this book stood out as the only text that I purchased. It is a fantastic, impartial, overview which includes great illustrations and charts. It is equally rewarding to read straight through, only the parts that interest you or as a handy reference.
A good textbook and/or information source........1999-03-30
This is a very informative, "chunky" book. Excellent pictures and charts! A book worth having!

Great Value.......2006-03-16
I enjoyed this book because it was not full of fluff or the hit and miss content of similar books - the architecture was compelling, the theme was consistant - I really enjoy this one! In fact I am sending it to several of my friends.
Nice book - could have been better.......2006-02-22
This is a nice book in general. It has a good format, showcases interesting projects and unlike the first book of the "100 Best" series, devotes more pages to each project with more photographs and plans. Some of the photography however is disappointing. Even though most of the projects are professionally shot, some of the houses are represented by snapshots with distorted walls and incorrect color balance, and in my opinion do not belong in a book of this caliber.

wow.......2006-06-27
This is a great book for resedential design. This book surpass its predecessor. This book is must buy.
The title could've been better..........2005-02-02
This book is great for someone who is curious about the different styles of houses throughout world, regardless of one particular style (ie. modern, minimal, etc.) The pictures are very well scaled and the project desciption featured in the index is informative although they are missing the essential date of completion. The title of the book is subjective so it is up to the reader to determine if these really are the "best" houses in the world, but they do give a introduction to the different style of residential designs realized throughout the world.

The Years of the Beaver.......2006-09-02
This is the type of book that went out of style when the internet became popular, but I'm an old school fetishist who just loves me my WORLD ACCORDING TO BEAVER. Author Irwyn Applebaum was obviously an obsessed dreamer who collected scraps of Beaver trivia like fools gold. Most of the last part of the book is an episode guide, the kind you stumble on to at a site like IMDB and you just can't stop reading. Remember the days when TV shows had 39 episodes to a season? How did the actors keep from keeling over? Especially the young ones like Jerry Mathers and (sigh) the immortal Adonis Tony Dow, who must have also had to go to school for at least a few hours a day on top of starring in a Top Ten show!
No wonder the two actors sometimes looked a little peaked as the 60s began and the Beav got older and pudgier.
Tony Dow kept his good looks, however, as well as that trace of acting ability which set him off from his peers. As "Wally," the older brother of the Beav, Tony Dow had a girlfriend every week; women idolized him for being straight up with them. He was possibly the first man on TV to treat women like equals. As Beaver said, "You know something, Wally, I'd rather do nothin' with you than somethin' with anybody else." Applebaum even invents a newspaper, the Maple Drive News, and has a trivia IQ test in which, I'm ashamed to say, I got not one answer right! So you know this separates the men from the boys. The book also has updates about the cast, Barbara Billingsley, Jerry Mathers, and King Dow, but seeing that the updates stopped at 1984, the publication date of this book, they feel eerily incomplete.
A Fun, Light, And Breezy Romp Through Beaver Cleaver's World!.......2005-11-25
"The World According To Beaver" (subtitled: "The Official Leave It To Beaver Book") is a very pleasant 328-page trip down memory lane with Beaver Cleaver, Wally, Ward, June, and the rest of the clan that comprised the fine cast of one of the most endearing television sitcoms of all-time -- "Leave It To Beaver".
This softcover volume (originally published in 1984) is laid out in a carefree and fun-to-read style, with tons of "LITB" tidbits of info scattered throughout its 300-plus pages. Many black-and-white photographs are also included here, some of them posed "publicity stills" produced by Universal Studios, and some of the pics being "video captures" from several of the 234 episodes that were made during the successful lifespan of the "Beaver" series (it ran for six TV seasons, from 1957 to 1963).
"The World According To Beaver" is a nice companion piece to the "Leave It To Beaver" full-season DVD collections produced by Universal Studios Home Entertainment. The back cover of the book, in fact, includes a somewhat-odd remark about this book indeed being a "Tie-in" to the "Home Video" releases of LITB. That's odd only because the series had never been released on home video at the time this book was published.
The reader of this book will become well-versed in the "Beaver Language", via the section on "Vocabulary Words". You'll also learn all about the Cleaver gang, and many of Beaver's and Wally's friends as well. Plus, there's invaluable data concerning "Aunt Martha", "Gus The Fireman", "Fred Rutherford", "Miss Landers", and "Uncle Billy", too. :-)
The book also contains some fun 'behind-the-scenes'-type stuff in segments labelled "Secrets Of The Cleaver Home", "Inside The Boys' Bedroom", and "A Visitor's Guide To Mayfield".
And there are lots and lots of "quotes" from the LITB episodes. Reading all this funny dialogue from this great TV series should provide more than a few chuckles for fans who remember just about every episode by heart. :-)
The book also includes descriptions of all the episodes, although no air-date or guest-star info is provided here. The lengthy chapter on "The Shows" is presented in a "newspaper column" style, with four columns of program synopses per two-page spread.
The Beaver-related trivia never seems to stop flowing from this volume; there's a wealth of intriguing factoids regarding the series on tap here. One of my favorite sections in the book is the hilarious one-page summary that delves into Ward Cleaver's mysterious job and office activities (a segment humorously entitled "Ward At The Salt Mines"). As all stalwart Cleaver fans know, Ward's occupation was never really clearly defined throughout the entire six years the show was on the air (which, in itself, is a rather amazing "Let's Sidestep The Subject Of Precisely What Job Ward Has" achievement that was integrated into the scripts of writers Bob Mosher, Joe Connelly, Dick Conway, and several others who were apparently bound and determined to keep Ward's occupation a partial secret for all six seasons).
Reading that brief "Salt Mines" essay about good ol' Ward (who was definitely one of my favorite LITB characters) is bound to produce a few smiles from Beaver fans. There are tongue-in-cheek references to Ward having a corner office, while second-banana Fred Rutherford had to struggle without such luxuries at their "Job X" downtown office structure. There are also mentions made in the book of some of Ward's major work projects that pop up on the show from time to time -- like the infamous "Miller Audits" and "The Thompson Deal". ~grin~
This fun paperback also comes complete with a "Beaver I.Q. Test", which offers up some pretty tough trivia questions for the LITB faithful to sink their teeth into -- like "What is the name of Ward's secretary?" .... and .... "What is Beaver's bike-lock combination?" (I must admit, as I hide my head in shame, that I didn't know the answer to that one myself.)
------------------------------------------
Following is a batch of "Leave It To Beaver" trivia (and "quotes") that Beaver fans might find useful and/or entertaining. To tell the truth, I can't recall if all of the following trivialities are located in this book or not; but I'm sure that some of it is. But, if not, here's some additional earth-shattering info that could be added to "The World According To Beaver".......
Who reading this can recall all six of the "Show Openings" for "Leave It To Beaver"? (A new Main Title opening sequence was filmed for each of the six seasons.)
In case you can't remember them, let's have a gander at all the openings:
Season 1 --- The "Handprints In Wet Cement" opening.
Season 2 --- Ward and June meet the boys at the bottom of the staircase.
Season 3 --- Ward and June enter the boys' bedroom, awakening them for school. (The first season in the "new" house at 211 Pine St.; Mayfield USA.)
Season 4 --- "The Ward" & "The June" hand the boys their coats on the front porch.
Season 5 --- "Yard Work" (featuring June presenting a tray of ice-cold homemade lemonade for her hard-working crew of three men in the front yard). This is the worst opening, IMO, which also features the "Magical Closing Front Door" after June exits the house with her tray of beverage delights. Perhaps Eddie was inside to serve as "Doorman" or something. I only hope somebody gave this opening's creator "The Business" for producing such an opening-credits sequence, which comes complete with Beaver's delightfully-fake "lip licking" in anticipation of receiving a glass of June's ice-cold beverage. :)
Season 6 --- The 1962-1963 "jazzed-up" beginning, with everybody running toward Ward's brand-new '62 Plymouth Fury four-door sedan.
-----------------------------
"Leave It To Beaver" had its fair share of laugh-out-loud lines of dialogue during its 6-year duration on network TV. As mentioned earlier, this book is chock-full of funny quotes from the series. Here are some of my favorite bits of LITB humor:
EDDIE HASKELL -- "Good morning, Mrs. Cleaver! Gee, Mrs. Cleaver, your kitchen always looks so clean. My mother says it looks as though you never do any work in here."
------------
FRED RUTHERFORD -- "Oh, you don't have to worry about Clarence's driving, Ward. When it comes to brains, he's got a head on him like the Rock of Gibraltar."
------------
WALLY -- "Gee, dad, we didn't mean to get Mr. Rutherford {with the 'barrel hoops'}."
BEAVER -- "Yeah, we yelled 'meathead' and he came runnin' out."
------------
JUNE -- "Ward, what happened at the office today?"
WARD -- "Well, one of the office jokers put pencil shavings in Fred Rutherford's instant-coffee jar."
JUNE -- "Did Fred think that was funny?"
WARD -- "No -- he never noticed."
------------
WARD -- "Oh, my comment {re. hairstyles} wasn't referring to you dear -- your hair looks like it never saw a curler."
------------
JUNE -- "Who's Cornelia Rayburn, and when did she see YOU off your feet?!"
------------
JUNE -- "Ward, why don't you ever bring me flowers?"
WARD -- "I'm the kind that says it with seat covers."
------------
JUNE -- "Honestly, Ward, he {Wally} just looks like a...a...a GANGSTER! The next thing you know he's going to be wearing a leather jacket and motorcycle boots!" (Via "Wally's Haircomb".) :-)
------------
WARD -- "Remember when Beaver had to have that football helmet? I paid six dollars for it. Two days later he gave it to the milkman in case he had a head-on collision."
------------
WARD -- "How can you try too hard to be a good parent?!"
JUNE -- "I don't know, but it looks like you've mastered it."
------------
WARD -- "Well, Duke, is Mayfield going to have another good basketball team next year?"
DUKE HATHAWAY -- "Oh, I don't think so Mr. Cleaver -- I'm graduating."
------------
WALLY -- "Gee, dad, if a girl called here for me, you wouldn't tell her I was in the bathtub, would ya?"
WARD -- "Well, Wally, with the number of baths you take, I don't think the risk is very great."
------------
EDDIE -- "That look he {Ward} gives me when he answers the door. Sometimes I think he'd be happier to see Khrushchev standing there."
------------
MRS. HANSON (Alma's Mother) -- "Mrs. Cleaver, I hope we didn't keep you away from your dishes."
JUNE -- "Not at all -- they're used to being alone!"
------------
JUNE -- "Well, Ward, just because you were a hoodlum when you were young, is no reason to have my babies travelling around the countryside like a couple of gypsies!!"
------------
WARD -- "Oooh, that Eddie Haskell!!"
JUNE -- "Just for that, I'm going to put mayonnaise on his sandwich!"
WARD -- "That's my girl."
------------
WARD -- "Hey June, Wally just told me that Beaver intercepted a pass today and ran for a touchdown!"
JUNE -- "Oh no Ward! Now they'll probably want him to play ALL the time!"
------------
JUNE -- "Well, Beaver, did you have a good day today?"
BEAVER -- "No -- I went to school."
------------
JUNE -- "I hope Beaver had something to eat over at the Mondellos."
WALLY -- "I wouldn't worry about that, mom. Every time you go over there, somebody's always eating."
------------
JUNE -- "Ward, sometimes I think you like to stay late down at that office."
WARD -- "Oh sure. It's a regular 24-hour Mardi Gras down there."
------------
WALLY -- "Women are funny -- maybe they like to smell like old catcher's mitts."
------------
EDDIE -- "Athletics are fine, Mr. Cleaver -- but my father prefers me to develop in a normal manner."
------------
WALLY -- "Gee, mom, the way they fix ladies' hair nowadays, you can't tell whether they've been to the beauty parlor or just standing around in the wind."
------------
WALLY -- "You know, Lumpy, your whole tailpipe is wired up with a coat hanger."
LUMPY -- "Yeah, I did that to pass the safety inspection."
---------------------------------
Another interesting topic that can be used for "LITB List Making" is .... "Wally's Girlfriends". .......
My favorites would be both Mary Ellen and Julie -- a dead heat for "Top Doll" (aka: "Wally's Top Babes"). :-)
Here's a relatively-complete list of girls whom Wallace Cleaver was associated with throughout the LITB series:
>> Mary Ellen Rogers (Played by Pamela Baird).
>> Julie Foster (Cheryl Holdridge).
>> Gloria Cusick (also played by Cheryl Holdridge).
>> Carolyn Stewart (Vickie Albright).
>> Evelyn Boothby (Mary Mitchel).
>> Margie Manners (Candy Moore).
>> Alma Hanson (Carol Sydes).
>> Penny Jamison (also portrayed by Carol Sydes).
>> Kitty Bannerman (Bernadette Withers).
>> Kathy Gregory (Carole Wells).
>> Lori Ann (Brenda Scott).
>> Gail Preston (Laraine Stephens).
>> Ginny Townsend (Linda Bennett).
>> Caroline Cunningham (Karen Green).
>> Shirley Fletcher (Beverly Lunsford).
Honorable Mentions:
>> "Judy", played by Barbara Parkins. Judy can't really (officially) be considered one of "Wally's Girls", but he did make goo-goo eyes at her in one episode in Season 5.
>> "Carol Martin", a tennis player (played by Cindy Robbins) who took Wally "for a ride" in order to lure her real boyfriend back into her scheming arms. That vixen! She doesn't deserve the likes of a Wallace Cleaver!
>> "Marlene Holmes" (Diane Sayer). This girl, from "the wrong side of the tracks" -- who drank beer and smoked cigarettes (that tramp!!) -- gave Wally, to my knowledge, his only on-screen kiss; and a beaut it was, which took Wally by surprise as he uttered, after the sensuous smooch, a shocked "Goll-y!!". :-)
------------------------------------------
Let me (finally) conclude with just one more hunk of Beaver-endorsing commentary......
"Leave It To Beaver" is one of the classic American television sitcoms. The simple and easy-going stories that made up the scripts each week for those six "Beaver" years are worth re-visiting over and over again, IMHO. And that laid-back and wholly-uncomplicated flavor of the series has been nicely captured by author Irwyn Applebaum in "The World According To Beaver".
A classic coming of age sitcom.......2001-10-19
I remember watching "Leave It To Beaver" when I was growing up in the 1960's-It was a well-written show,which looked at life from the perspective of a young boy-In my opinion,it's one of the best sitcoms of all time-Now that it's on the TV Land cable network,I never miss a single episode-Irwyn Applebaum did a fantastic job in putting this book together-Not only do you get classic lines of dialogue,but you get a thorough summary of all 254 episodes-Whether your favorite character was Wally,the Beav,Lumpy,or that meanie Eddie Haskell,you'll have a great time reading this book-Highly recommended for the true Beaver fans.
Very enjoyable for Beaver fans.......2001-08-07
This is a great book for Leave It to Beaver fans with background info, show quotes and dialog organized by topic, and an episode guide. The characters are described with show details and dialog samples. Reading the episode summaries, I can't help smiling. The author wrote a useful and fun guide to the show.
GREAT!.......2000-06-17
I live in Germany now and can't get old reruns. This brought back some memories and laughs from the shows I used to watch as a kid. This stuff is classic and doesn't go out of style!
