Product Description
From Publishers WeeklyTwo former Manhattan nannies blow the lid off of the private child-care industry with a hilarious debut that pulls no punches as it recounts the travails of Nan, a hip Mary Poppins looking for a job to fit around her child-development classes at NYU. Mrs. X seems reasonable enough when she hires Nan to look after her four-year-old son, Grayer, but she quickly reveals herself to be a monster a bundle of neuroses wrapped up in Prada, whose son is little more than another status symbol in a fabulous Park Avenue apartment. Mr. X is just as horrible, although he's rarely seen or heard, too busy navigating mergers and mistresses to make time for a family starving for his affection. Nan finds herself stuck in a low-paying job from which she can be fired on a whim, enduring a steady stream of condescension, indifference and passive-aggressive notes on Mrs. X's posh stationery. Against the advice of family and friends, she stays because of her devotion to Grayer but how long will it be before she explodes? The pages fairly crackle with class resentment that might have been more convincing if Nanny's own family weren't as comfortable, and the finale delivers more whimper than bang, but it's easy to forgive such flaws when everything else rings true. Especially impressive is the authors' ability to allow the loathsome Mrs. X occasional flashes of humanity and pathos. Required reading for parents and the women they hire to do their parenting. National advertising and author publicity.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
I do not normally read biographies.I was turned away from them because most biographies are long and boring, and simply state the facts.This biography, on the other hand, was not long and boring, and while it did state the facts, they way to make the reader fall asleep.In fact, as in many of Fuller's books, this biography makes the reader want to keep reading right up until the end.I am impressed by Mr. Fuller's amazing writing talent, and look forward to reading many books written by him in the future.

I've read this book and I like it!
If I had to pick the perfect biography, this would be it.
It's not long and boring, and it really brings Julia out in a positive and truthful light. It captures her essence perfectly.
I disagree with anybody that doesn't see the quality in this book. It covers a lot in just around 100 pages. You get to see the real Julia Roberts. I'm impressed.

A well written biography about Julia
This book is a well written biography about Julia and a collector's item fof Julia's Fans. I liked it very much, especially because it wasn't too long.

A good biography
This biography is good because it's not boring, not too long, and covers a lot of information. If you want a long, boring biography about Julia, this one's not for you. But if you want a good biography that's not too long and covers a lot of interesting stuff, then this one is it. It's one of the best.

The Best Book About Julia I've Ever Read!
I am glad I picked this biography. No other book I've read about Julia is as interesting. From her early childhood to her adult years as a superstar, this book covers it all, and in just 100 pages! What I also like about this book is that it tells about Julia's struggles as well as her success. It reads like a motrion picture and quotes Julia's own words many times. A must read for a Julia Roberts Fan. ... Read more

Product Description
This volume is concerned with the investigation of three complexes of prehistoric ceremonial monuments in the immediate environs of Dumfries in the south-west of Scotland, conducted between 1994 and 1998. These were the Pict's Knowe henge, the Holywood cursus complex, and the post alignments/cursus at Holm. The field research was designed in such a way as to recognise that prehistoric monuments often have complex and individual sequences of construction and use, while also acknowledging that detailed studies of particular sites and local contexts will ultimately advance our understanding of monumentality in prehistoric Europe. The three sites of the Pict's Knowe, Holywood and Holm have proved especially helpful in addressing questions of how particular places maintained their importance over long periods of time. In each instance the location was characterised by features which possess a high degree of archaeological visibility. In the former case it was the upstanding earthwork of the bank and ditch that identified the site as a henge monument, while Holywood and Holm were discovered through aerial photography. Each of the sites investigated had complex sequences of development, in which the structural elements that were recognised prior to fieldwork were not necessarily the most important or the most long-lived. This book considers the details of the excavated features, environmental and artefactual evidence, as well as more general concerns. The first part of the volume concentrates on the Pict's Knowe, while the second looks at the more spatially and typologically related sites of Holywood and Holm. ... Read more
