UGGGH!.......2001-10-18

Skip this dog. Cassidy has about 150 scholarships organized over and over again in different categories (like engineering, nursing, earth science, general, etc.). The index is a good idea because it breaks down scholarships by category BUT if a scholarship is good for engineering and nursing it is listed twice in the engineering index and twice in the nursing index; so you end up seeing the same scholarship over and over. Also, it says it has a searchable CD-ROM - guess what, it is a pdf copy of the book and you are the search engine - the book is faster for the little bit it offers. College board or Fastweb are much better - they are also online and free if you don't need the book. Fast web gives you email updates of new scholarships after you register.

This book has lots of scholarship & award information but it wasn't useful. It did not give enough information. I needed to consult other sources. Also, the book was faster to use than the CD. Skip this one, I didn't find it helpful at all.

U take the Good with the Bad!!!.......2003-10-10

This book as a lot of good qualities and some bad too. The bad one was that it does take awhile to go through all the scholarship programs. Plus a lof of them repeated themselves in each catorgory. So you waste your time as you are going through the numbes.

Good note is that this books as like 5,000 scholarship keeping in mind of the doubles/triples of a quite a few of the awards. Catagories are within from state, to nationality, to what you want to major in, race, sex etc! So it covers just about everything!!!

Granted nothing is totally free! You have to work a little to receive the money. Either sending a SASE with some basic info. about yourself. But even the FAFSA isn't totally easy on filling out all that paper work either! So if you receive that award then you know what I am talking about.

better for large workplaces or schools.......2001-04-27

I bought this book for myself and was disapointed-reason being- I know which field I'm going into and which school I am going to. I didn't find anything for my field so I looked in the general section and didn't find anything for the school I am attending. I don't recommend it for individual use. However, as a reference guide in the workplace or a financial aid office, even a high school counselor's office I think it is great. There are many things to help many students. As for individual use though, I recommend you check for it at the library instead of spending the money.

Disappointing.......2000-12-02

I bought this to try to find something to help us send my son to Georgia Tech for Architecture. Out of all the sections I looked at, (which included Retired Navy, Resident of Georgia, Boy Scouts of America, Religious Affiliation and Architecture) I found ONE listing that even came close to what we're looking for. I would have been better to have been a gay, blind, black woman, from New York, looking for a career in journalism. I'd have found THOUSANDS of listings for this. I'm afraid I feel ripped off here, guys.

Recommended for Employers to Purchase.......2000-08-14

Personal and professional growth is cited as one of the primary drivers for today's workers. As we move into an era where workers are assuming control of their own career destiny, education and training are increasingly important.

People are looking at their careers differently today than they have in the past. No longer do they place their faith in the employer to provide all their learning opportunities. Now they must create and implement their own learning designs-taking advantage of corporate training, special assignments, and outside education programs.

In the future, the movement will be even more pronounced. During the years ahead, workers will be choosing their employers based, in part, on opportunities to learn and grow. They'll be looking for companies that demonstrably support education and training. Workers will be significantly more intent on continuing their education-to build their skills, their credentials, and their capacity to perform at increasingly higher levels of competence and effectiveness.

A major objective of their ongoing learning will be to enhance opportunities for advancement-with the current employer or a future employer. People expect to move from job to job every 2-4 years, though not necessarily to a different employer. They will tend to be more loyal to employers who encourage them to grow. Mentoring and experience will be important, as will various kinds of formal learning.

Some of this learning will be gleaned from corporate training and development programs. Commercial seminars and conferences sponsored by trade and professional associations will provide further learning opportunities. An increasing number of workers will take courses at community colleges and universities.

With the magnetic draw of the labor shortage, young people will be pulled from the traditional post-high school process into the world of work. High demands will drive recruiters to recruit students right off the college campus. They're already recruiting more aggressively for students at community colleges and four-year institutions. Some companies will fund work-study programs, enabling students to continue their education while working.

Education takes money. Employers will contribute, at various levels governed by a wide range of factors. In many cases, more funds will be needed. Employed students will face challenges of finding money to fund their college and university work. Employers who help their workers find solutions to their educational problems-including financing-will earn their loyalty and devotion. Companies don't have to finance educational endeavors to win that appreciation; just helping the workers find funds on their own will be a benefit.

Solution: buy one or more copies of a directory of scholarships and place them strategically around the workplace. One good example of such a valuable resource is The Scholarship Book 2000. The annual, produced by the National Scholarship Research Service, contains pertinent information on 4,000 scholarship sources offering awards up to $40,000 per year. Included are scholarships limited to people over 25, 35, and even 60 years of age.

Each entry gives the name, address, phone, e-mail, and internet sites, followed by an explanation of the amount of the award and application procedures. The variety of opportunities for funding is mind-boggling! This volume has a wealth of information, and even makes for good reading.

The 8" X 10.5 inch format is easy to use. The cover is attractive, making it a nice book to have around in break rooms, human resource development offices, corporate libraries, and other appropriate locations around the company. At a $25 price, this three-pound book makes a smart purchase to send a message: "we support the ongoing education of our employees."

Book Description

Kindred spirits despite their profound differences in position, Abraham Lincoln and Walt Whitman shared a vision of the democratic character. They had read or listened to each other’s words at crucial turning points in their lives, and both were utterly transformed by the tragedy of the Civil War. In this radiant book, poet and biographer Daniel Mark Epstein tracks the parallel lives of these two titans from the day that Lincoln first read Leaves of Grass to the elegy Whitman composed after Lincoln’s assassination in 1865.

Drawing on a rich trove of personal and newspaper accounts and diary records, Epstein shows how the influence and reverence flowed between these two men–and brings to life the many friends and contacts they shared. Epstein has written a masterful portrait of two great American figures and the era they shaped through words and deeds.

Customer Reviews:

illuminating with one fatal flaw.......2007-05-06

The only problem I had with the book was the author's obsession with Whitman's so-called "personal" life. I can't say the H word since xena keeps deleting my comments, but take it from me, Walt was NOT what Epstein seems to think he was. When Carpenter and Wilde tried to corner him about it, he was absolutely AGHAST that anyone would do that, let alone think HE would ever be so depraved. Whitman was America's only conscious poet. Lincoln was America's only conscious president. You can't get there having a corrupt soul.

The Good Gray Poet...and Lincoln as Muse.......2006-03-17

Daniel Mark Epstein succeeds at what seems simple, but in truth is a daunting task: combining the literary and the historical in a moving, evocative narrative. The book gracefully moves between and across the lives of Lincoln and Whitman, with a cathartic spirit uniting the stories of both men. Epstein makes no claims that the spiritual union was, in reality, anything more than a parallel, largely reliant on the troubled times (and Whitman's obsession...or coincidence). There is a somewhat amplified mysticism surrounding Lincoln and Whitman as "characters" in this historical narrative, but such characterization errs more often on the positive than it does otherwise. The parallels between the lives of both men are compelling, revealing, and informative, and the ending is truly poignant. Civil War Washington also comes alive with a mapmaker's eye and a storyteller's gift for detail. Wonderful!

A Stunning Achievement.......2005-12-17

Epstein hits the ground running in this extraordinary blend of dramatic storytelling and lit crit, and he never lets up until the final page. Everyone has always known that Whitman was influenced by Lincoln, but it has been a matter of heated controversy for many years as to whether Lincoln was or was not influenced by "Leaves of Grass." Epstein proves this beyond any reasonable doubt in the first thirty pages, as he introduces us into the gritty atmosphere of Lincoln's law office in the 1850s. He follows the two men to Washington, D.C. during the Civil War, and his capturing of their two characters and their struggles, as their paths cross and shadow one another during that intense period, is a literary and historical tour de force. One of my favorite books about the Civil War.

not really very good.......2005-12-13

The PW reviewer might have been a little careless in political characterization, but I think that this book does soften Whitman's views, and muddle Lincoln's, to try to put them both in the same place. The analysis of the poetry might be fine, but the political analysis isn't. The portrait of Chase, and the descriptions of the "radical Republicans", is one-sided. Mary Todd Lincoln is bad and horrible, and somehow that is conflated with her sympathy for the slaves & for a war against slavery. (Whitman only had lovely relationships, apparently). Also, it is true that there are little irritating errors, the "relationship" between Howells & Whitman in 1860 being a clear one.

Lincoln and Whitman Book Review.......2005-12-05

I thought that this book was very moving, and successfully portrays two men who completely embody the Civil War. The title of the book is very appropriate, because the number of instances in which Walt Whitman and Abraham Lincoln's lives crossed is quite interesting. Lincoln was one of the greatest presidents who was responsible for emancipating those under slavery. Whitman was one of the greatest poets of all time, and had a huge amount of respect towards Abraham Lincoln.

I found it very interesting that Lincoln and Whitman had never officially met, yet they had both listened or read eachother's words at very crucial times in each of their own lives. Both had so much complete and utmost respect for the other person, and that is clearly seen from the moment that Lincoln reads Whitman's famous book of poems, "Leaves of Grass," until Whitman composed the famous elegy after Lincoln was assasinated.

Both of these men had the same vision of democracy,and Epstein did a great job showing the effect that the war had on these two men. I didn't know that Whitman had volunteered at a hospital during the war, and learning what a huge impact the wounded soldiers had on Whitman and his writing was very interesting. The book also showed the huge toll that the Civil War had on Lincoln, especially when families and loved ones were torn apart because of the war.

I loved how Epstein showed the increasing amount of honor that Whitman had for Lincoln after he was assasinated. His poem, "O Captain, My Captain," is a prime example of just how much admiration that Whitman had for the beloved president. In fact, my favorite part of this book came in the last chapter of the book over twenty years after Lincoln had died. Whitman gave a final speech on Lincoln at Madison Square Theater in front of such people as Mark Twain.

Epstein does a great job of showing the incredible amount of passion that both Walt Whitman and Abraham Lincoln had for life. Both men lived by eachother's words and had an amazing amount of respect for one another, it definitely makes me wish that they would have gotten the chance to know each other personally.

Ever since the day in March 1836 when an obscure Spanish mission in Texas fell to Mexican forces led by President Santa Anna, Americans have been exhorted to "remember the Alamo." And remember it we do--primarily as the place where American folk legends Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie, and William Travis met their end fighting for Texas independence. Though it is primarily the Alamo we remember today, the battle itself takes up just a few pages of William C. Davis's Three Roads to the Alamo; Davis is far more interested in what brought three such disparate men as Crockett, Bowie, and Travis to Texas in the first place than in how they died there. As any schoolchild knows, Davy Crockett was the "king of the wild frontier," a bona fide folk hero in his own time who rode his legend to political office first in Tennessee and then as a United States congressman. Bowie was both less well known and less heroic--a land speculator not above resorting to fraud and forgery to get what he wanted, while William Travis, the youngest of the three, brought little but potential with him to Texas.

Davis does a good job of illuminating both the personalities of his subjects and the situation in which they found themselves in Texas. He thoroughly explores the lives of these three men--their successes, their failures, their hopes for the future--and lays out the arguments for and against Texan independence from Mexico in which they found themselves embroiled. By the time Crockett, Bowie, and Travis finally arrive at the Alamo, it seems the inevitable conclusion to the roads they each have been traveling over the course of their lifetimes. Three Roads to the Alamo is a fine piece of historical research and an entertaining read, as well.

Book Description

Three Roads to the Alamo is the definitive book about the lives of David Crockett, James Bowie and William Barret Travis—the legendary frontiersmen and fighters who met their destiny at the Alamo in one of the most famous and tragic battles in American history—and about what really happened in that battle.

Three legends revealed.......2006-12-14

This book is a very well conceived idea that tries to understand what happened at the Alamo through the eyes of three people. Each provides a different perspective to life in Texas and life in the United States in the time period leading up to the Alamo. A crook like Bowie has fled from land speculations schemes and is trying to make a name for himself in Texas. Travis has abandoned his family and gone to make an honest life and escape the debt he built up. Finally we have David Corckett the hero of Tennessee who has lost elections and patience with Andrew Jackson heading to Texas. All of these three have led colorful lives with Crockett being the most interesting. This book serves as a biography to all three while describing the importance of the Alamo to Texas. It is very well done and you find yourself going through the book very quickly. I highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in understanding what life looked like in the United States in the years leading up to the Alamo.

Glimpse behind the glory.......2006-10-23

William Davis, best known for his excellent works on the American War Between the States (oh, alright, "Civil War" if you insist) delves into the Texas Revolution with this work, and presents historians with an excellent glimpse at the three principal figures of the Alamo Siege. This triple biography gives an excellent in-depth look at the careers, motivations, and personal lives of three men on their march to an appointment with destiny.

I highly recommend all of Mr. Davis' works, especially "Deep Waters of the Proud" and "Look Away!"

Depends on what you're looking for.......2006-07-14

Davis is meticulous in his research, teasing from the legends what we know, what can be deduced, what is probable, improbable, and impossible. So, if you want scholarship, an in-depth understanding of the truth, as near as it can be determined, this book is great.

Davis' sketches of the personalities and characters of Crockett, Bowie and Travis were also impressive.

But, IMO, if you want a wallopping page-turner, look elsewhere.

One Road Too Few.......2006-03-27

OK, that is a bit of a negative title, so I want to start off saying that I really enjoyed this book. One of the problems with the story of the Alamo is that it all too often is isolated in the time during the battle and not much of the events and lives of the participants are ever explored. This leaves a story disconnected from all that ran up to it, all that caused it.

William C. Davis does an admirable job assembling the lives of three people who are somewhat elusive in the historical record until their "big day" at the Alamo (even Crocket has his blank spots in his history). It is important info that informs us all why these men were "that" Travis, Crocket and Bowie.

He gives them life in a narrative that quickly moves in a conversational style. Further, he does an admirable job not judging these men on today's more "civilized" standards, allowing us to come to know the men as they were, in their day, without being weighed down by modern approbations and regrettable "social" historical analysis so popular with too many historians.

Now the criticism: As my little review title suggests I feel that there was one road, one equally important, not explored that led to the Alamo. It is a road that is just as important as the other roads Davis explores; that of Travis, Crocket, and Bowie.

It is a road without which the Alamo would not have occurred, propelling the three heroes into American mythology. It is the road traveled by Santa Anna.

Of course, at 587 pages, this tome is already a bit larger than the average popular treatment of any particular historical event and it is probable that Davis struggled to keep the story under one thousand! Still, Santa Anna's journey was just as tumultuous, interesting and central to the story as Travis, Crocket, and Bowie's, and just as important.

Davis admits that he started with the idea of a Bowie bio, so it isn't surprising that he dwelled on Bowie more so than the other two. But, given the re-direction he took with his story a little less on Bowie could have sufficed as the story of Santa Anna was included.

After reading the book, I felt a hole in the story. Why, exactly, did the Mexicans do all they did? Not just during the months preceding the Alamo, but for the decade before. How did Santa Anna get to his position? What drove him to lay siege to the Alamo and that small band of Norteamericanos? I know Santa Anna is not the American hero that the other three are, but where is the hero without the villain?

In any case. This book is highly recommended for anyone wanting a well researched story of the actions and personalities that led up to the Alamo. Even with that one small detraction, I say read it!

The Honored Dead.......2006-02-02

"This is the West, sir. When the legend becomes fact, print the legend." The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.

Author William C. Davis does not follow this advise and gives us the true story of these three icons of Texas. We find that aside from Crockett's three successful congressional campaigns and Travis' legal practice in Texas, these heroes were not very successful nor particularly honorable as that term is defined today. Bowie was an unsuccessful con artist who married his Tejano wife for her money and connections, Travis abandoned his pregnant wife in Alabama to evade a warrant for his arrest for debt, and Crockett was long estranged from his second wife at the time of his death. They were not exactly paragons of virtue but in the manner of their deaths they were and are heroes and that should not be forgotten, and Davis does not forget this. I am reminded of a line from another movie, Casablanca, in which Humphrey Bogart says, "They got a lucky break. Yesterday they were just two German clerks. Today they're the 'Honored Dead'." Bowie, Crockett and Travis are Texas' Honored Dead.

This book was awful. Gauche, poorly written and juvenile. The author had an interesting subject (Col. William B.
