Johns Hopkins University (Molecular Biology)
Covenant Theological Seminary (Master's)
I have a degree in Biology (Molecular), graduating with Departmental Honors (1988-1993) from Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore.
I grew up in Kalispell, Montana, but lived in the Baltimore-Washington corridor from 1988-1998 (with a one-year hiatus in Alaska) and in Norfolk, Virginia, from 1998 until I moved to St. Louis in 2007 to work on a graduate degree.
While I am new to WyzAnt, I am not new to tutoring or teaching. I first began tutoring in college through the chaplain's office in a program for underprivileged children. I married my college sweetheart and for a sabbatical we decided to spend our first year of marriage exploring Alaska where I taught and tutored at a small school in Wasilla, Alaska, where my wife was also the 7th grade English teacher.
After our year of living adventurously in Alaska we moved back to Maryland where I took two jobs at two separate schools in northern Metro Washington, D.C., as primary school teacher for half of the day and a high school chemistry teacher and PE coach.
After one year of splitting between two schools I took a full-time position at one of the schools and taught 6th and 7th grade, all subjects except art, PE, and music.
In 1998 I began a career as a teacher, trainer, and problem solver for a software company. When I left that career to attend grad school in St. Louis, I was the director of training for an academic software group that specialized tools for research in the fields of Ancient Near Eastern and Biblical Studies. Used in universities and seminaries worldwide such as Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Duke, Oxford, Cambridge. Their software is widely acclaimed in international journals to be the premier software for research and exegesis of the ancient Greek and Hebrew scriptures.
In addition to my career I have had numerous other interesting education experiences:
I was the Christian Education director for my church in Norfolk for nearly seven years. A congregation of ~300, I taught both adult and children. I developed a recruitment and training program for all children's teachers. I trained and oversaw the paid Christian Ed staff. I led a weekly discussion group of 10-14 adults. And I was elected by the congregation to sit on the governing board.
I was a guest instructor at La Escuela Presbiteriana de Teología, in Trujillo, Peru, where I designed and taught a month-long course in computer-assisted exegesis (in Spanish). I taught a similar one-day course at a seminary in Lima, Peru and in Santiago, Chile and at a conference near Jerusalem, Israel.
For two months at the San Agustín Language Institute in Trujillo, Peru, taught an adult advanced English conversation course.
I studied Hebrew for two months at an Ulpan (immersion language school) on a kibbutz in Israel, through the The Biblical Language Center.
In my my early 20's (i.e. the early 1990's) I started "Ironman Expeditions," in Western Montana. For seven summers during and after college I recruited, planned, and lead week-long backpacking expedition of 4-6 college-age men across the largest wilderness complex outside of Alaska.
For almost three years in college I was a Research Laboratory Technician in a Human Genetics lab at Johns Hopkins Medical School, Baltimore, where we worked on understanding cancer cell metastasis.
I took a one-year leave of absence from college between my freshman and sophomore years (1989-90) where I was a ski instructor at The Big Mountain Ski Shop in Whitefish, Montana. This was my first teaching job!
While in college I spent two months living in Turkey, studying Islam and Turkish language and culture.
In high school I lived for a month in Mexico City where I studied Spanish and lived with a Mexican family.
And last but certainly not least, I am the father of five children. I have a degree in Biology (Molecular), graduating with Departmental Honors (1988-1993) from Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore.
I grew up in Kalispell, Montana, but lived in the Baltimore-Washington corridor from 1988-1998 (with a one-year hiatus in Alaska) and in Norfolk,
Any cancellations for non-emergency reasons will be charged. I have to turn down students when you reserve a time-slot for yourself.
My daughter has gained a lot of confidence thanks to her tutoring sessions with Charlie. She got a 98 on her last AP chemistry test and had very little stress going into the test.
Having tried tutorial places without exceptional results, I found myself seeking a private one on one tutor. A google search led me to WyzAnt. Charles responded quickly and worked my daughter into his schedule without delay. I feared disappointment when I asked how it went, as she has been struggling for so very long. To see my child's eyes brighten with enthusiasm and have her eager to return to soak up more of Charles' gift of imparting knowledge was PRICELESS! We have had only one session so far, but what a giant leap of trust and pure excitement for continued learning and understanding!
It is a rare and valued gift for one to be able to ignite the spark of self value and worth in a subject where it has gone out, and the joy has been lost. I am already considering ourselves very blessed to have found this service, and this instructor.
Mr. G. is a great tutor. He knows chemistry and can explain the subject in many ways so that my daughter understands it. He checks to make sure she understands each concept before moving on. He is approachable and kind. We feel blessed to have Mr. G. as a teacher :)
Charles was focused on where I was at, (skill set) then ensured we outlined a plan to learn things in a thorough manner. I am confident I will improv my GRE score.
Mr. Charles is a great tutor. He cares about his students and not only helped me with preparing for the ACT, but also helped me boost my confidence. I highly recommend him!
Really enjoyed learning from Charles. Excellent and patient. I look forward to learning more about my computer. Very prompt and knowledegeable.
Our son's GPA is up .6% since working with Charlie this year. He is gaining confidence as well. We couldn't be more pleased.
More than anything, Charlie cares about my son as both a student and a person. He seems to have a vested interest in their success and truly takes the time to make they understand. Their success is his success!
When my daughter first began her chemistry lessons with Charles, she was convinced that it wouldn't make a difference. Chemistry was like an unknown foreign language to her and she was failing. The anxiety and stress she was experiencing was affecting all of her classes and her self esteem was at an all-time low. Within a few weeks, her entire outlook changed. She told me that she couldn't believe how much of a difference there was with her understanding of Chemistry. After a few more weeks she made the statement "Chemistry is actually kind of fun once you understand it". I almost passed out when I heard it! My previously sullen 16-year-old little girl was actually excited about a subject that scared her to death only a couple of months earlier. Her heightened confidence level was amazing. I am so impressed with Charles' ability to patiently teach someone who truly believed they could not be taught. He is patient and kind and really knows how to reach his students. He is also easy to deal with, very flexible and understanding. I could never thank him enough for his help.
Our son ran into trouble with Honors Geometry this year, so my wife suggested that we get him a professional tutor. We really lucked out when WyzAnt found Charles for us! In slightly less than two months, not only has Charles helped our son with Geometry (helped raise his class average by 11 points), he has been an exceptional resource for Honors Chemistry, too (helped raise our son's class average by 9 points).
Charles has the perfect temperament to work with our son, and our son has really responded well to Charles' methods. In addition to the obvious and tangible improvement in class performance, we've noticed our son enjoying his classes more and exuding a higher level of confidence.
I can't recommend Charles highly enough!
You know it's a successful session when your 12 year old son has a smile on his face after!! Charles is great with our two boys.
My son has been working with Charles on Chemistry for the past couple of months and it has been a great help.
He is very knowledgeable on many subjects, has an innate ability to find the best way to work with your child's learning style and makes the sessions and homework interesting and relevant.
Very glad we found him on WyzAnt as this will definately improve my son's GPA!!
Charlie has been an asset with our daughter and her reading challenges. She has been more attentive at home, and is building more confidence through private tutoring. Charlie has been more than reasonable meeting us in our neighborhood, far from his own home. Couldn't recommend anyone better. Very pleased.
I just wanted to comment on my daughter's tutor, Charles G. He was extremely organized and helped my daughter raise her ACT score by 6 points. He worked with her to develop a plan that she could manage and stick to and he was great at their tutoring sessions. Thanks, Charlie!!
Charlie has helped many people prepare for standardized tests, this was obvious when I met with him to prepare for one myself. He knew great strategies for maximizing my score and saving time. Charlie fit the right amount of material into our tutorial. It was very helpful to meet with him.
Our 10 yr old loves Charlie!!! He looks forward to learning and is totally at ease with Charlie's teaching style, and always comments, "I really like Charlie!!!" Charles makes learning fun and is a wonderful mentor for our son!!! I can't express how far his smile and warm charming countenance influences our child!! Our son has a new inspiration for learning!!!
Charlie started working with my son this summer in Spanish. It has been a great experience so far. Charlie has brought the calm and fun back into a subject that had been very challenging for my son. I also selected Charlie because he tutors other subjects. That is proving to be of great help because Charlie has been very willing to work with my son on other subjects such as biology. Charlie's feedback emails after the lessons are especially helpful because of the guidance and suggestions Charlie makes for continued self study in between the tutorial meetings with him. Charlie emphasizes helping his students develop a "workable" study strategy that helps students achieve their academic goals in a way where school work doesn't consume all of the home life. Charlie has been 100% reliable. He has also been flexible in working with my family on arranging a suitable tutorial meeting schedule.
My son said he really likes Mr. G because he is calm, patient, and makes the "stuff" fun. My son also said Mr. G says it's okay to try even if your answer is wrong because a good way of learning is figuring out your errors. My son said Mr. G says trying and seeing where your errors are helps you know where to spend your study time. Listening to my son, I am very pleased observing my son learn about and develop a study process and strategy that works for him with Mr. G's help. The study skills Charlie emphasizes are useful beyond the particular subject Charlies happens to be tutoring a child on.
Thank you Charlie!
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I specialize in helping students prepare for standardized tests. The key to being prepared for ACT English is starting as far in advance as possible. This is true for any subject area but especially for English and Reading. If you are able to give it the time needed to follow my plan I can guarantee an improved ACT verbal score. I have been an educator for over 20 years and have extensive experience the teaching language and reading skills necessary to master the ACT English exam.

I specialize in helping students prepare for standardized tests. The key to being prepared for ACT Reading is developing a love for reading by finding lots of good books and reading them. If you do not love reading I can help you begin to develop your reading skills enough to see a significant improvement in your ACT Reading scores, but to really excel on the ACT Reading Exam you must be willing to become a reader. Good reading skills will also help you with your ACT Science since the ACT Science Exam is actually just a reading comprehension test that includes tables and graphs (see my blog post on ACT Science).

Understanding Algebra is so important to all subsequent levels of math. Learning how to handle unknown numbers is foundational but is also very intimidating when a student first hears a teacher talking about adding and multiplying letters of the alphabet. Unfortunately many students never have anyone help them through this initial stage of intimidation. They are convinced even before they begin that Algebra will be over their head. Well it isn't. I have had hundreds of students and I have yet to find one who did not have more than enough mental capacity to do Algebra as long as they are given adequate instruction and help with the foundations.
Understanding Algebra is so important to all subsequent levels of math. Learning how to handle unknown numbers is foundational, and built on that foundation of Algebra I. Algebra II takes it to the next level and prepares the student for what he/she will need for the calculus. Many students are convinced even before they begin that Algebra II will be over their head. Well it isn't. I have had hundreds of students and I have yet to find one who did not have more than enough mental capacity to do both Algebra I and II as long as they are given adequate instruction and help with the foundations.
My degree was very heavy on Chemistry and I have taught High School Chemistry. I am particularly fond of this subject and enjoy helping others discover how cool it really is.
In addition to adequate prep for the ACT or SAT, I help my clients with counsel on researching schools that fit their academic goals (engineering, pre-med, liberal arts, etc.) and their academic capacity. I also help with essays, applications, and finding financial aid. Most parents and students get far too worried about the process of choosing a college. Many don't even know where to start. Regardless of where my client is I can help them navigate this process successfully.
I was an elementary classroom teacher for three years in suburban Washington DC. I can provide references, upon request.
I also worked as a tutor for at-risk children in Baltimore through the Johns Hopkins University's chaplain's office.
My wife and I have five children all of whom are doing exceedingly well educationally. My oldest was recently accepted into Washington University here in St. Louis.
The study of applied linguistics (how we learn languages) has been a large part of my life. I have found it to be one of the most fascinating subjects ever since my father introduced me to German which he learned from living in Germany during the US occupation in the 1950's.
It is really not until you learn a second language that you can begin understanding your first language. My second language was Spanish (not counting the little German my father taught me). I studied Spanish for four years in high school with an exchange trip to Mexico city in 1986 where I discovered the huge difference between studying a language in a classroom and actually learning to speak a language.
I studied Spanish further in college where I had a native speaking classroom teacher for the first time. During college I also spent a summer in Turkey to study the Turkish language, my first non-Indo-European language.
After college I studied Latin as a way to better understand grammar in general. I also spent three years as a Latin teacher in a private school just outside Washington D.C.
In 1998 I took a job with an academic research software group that required me to spend regular time each day studying Greek and Hebrew (this "requirement" was one of the main reasons I took the job). I spent 9 years with that organization. I have since taken over 40 graduate level credits of course work in Greek and Hebrew. I have also studied Hebrew at a language school in Israel that uses the most current findings of research in applied linguistics. I took the course primarily to see how they incorporated these findings into their curriculum.
I have traveled not only to Mexico, but also Chile and Peru. In both Chile and Peru I taught (in Spanish) a graduate-student workshop on how to use the research software from the organization I worked for.
I have spent almost 5 months living in Trujillo, Peru where I not only studied Spanish but also taught English as a second language to Peruvian high school students and adults using curriculum from Oxford University. This was at the San Agustin Language Institute (SALI).
I am still actively involved in teaching English as a second language, Spanish and now Greek and Hebrew.
My experience studying and teaching so many different languages has given me genuine insight into language acquisition and has been particularly important for my teaching of English as a second language. Having experienced the frustration and the joy of learning to communicate in a "foreign" tongue, I am uniquely qualified to teach my first tongue to those studying it as their second.
I am glad to give even more examples of my qualifications upon request.
My degree from Johns Hopkins required a lot of genetics related courses and I also took an upper-level graduate course on the genetics of the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) in my senior year. I spent two years working in a lab in the Dept. of Human Genetics of the Johns Hopkins medical school studying the expression of a membrane protein thought to play a role in whether or not a particular instance of cancer would spread through the body.
Of all the standardized tests, the GRE math section is really the most fun. I know that sounds weird, but honestly, the GRE is not a test to fear. The GRE math section actually covers only math lower than a 10th grade level. Nearly all of my GRE students have been adults wanting to get an advanced degree after 5 or more years out of college. They are convinced that they have forgotten most of the math they learned in high school and college. Yet in reality all the math skills they need for the GRE are skills they have been using and developing since they left college. The hardest part of the GRE math is learning to read the question and understand exactly what is being asked. Once I help them with that skill they are surprised at how easy the solution becomes.
I have many years experience in teaching languages (Latin, Spanish, Greek, Hebrew, and English).
I worked for 9 years for an academic organization (BibleWorks dot com) that created software used by universities and seminaries to aid in the exegesis of Greek and Hebrew biblical texts. I wrote the curriculum, trained employees and regional trainers, and I represented the organization at international academic conferences.
I have finished 6 masters level credits in Greek, and 10 credits in New Testament studies requiring the use of Greek in translation and exegesis. These courses were part of the MDiv program at Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis.
I have many years experience in teaching languages (Latin, Spanish, Greek, Hebrew, and English).
I have studied Biblical Hebrew for about 10 years now.
I participated in a 6-week intensive "Biblical Hebrew Ulpan" conducted by The Biblical Language Center in Israel.
I have finished 6 masters level credits in Hebrew, and 9 credits in Old Testament studies requiring the use of Hebrew in translation and exegesis. These courses were part of the MDiv program at Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis.
I also worked for 9 years for an academic organization (BibleWorks dot com) that created software used by universities and seminaries to aid in the exegesis of Greek and Hebrew biblical texts. I wrote the curriculum, trained employees and regional trainers, and I represented the organization at international academic conferences.
The MCAT expects science proficiency in biology, physics, general chemistry, and organic chemistry. I not only studied all of these subjects at Johns Hopkins University, I have also successfully tutored students in all of these subjects over the past 20 years.
The MCAT verbal reasoning and essay sections also cover subject matter in which I have had extensive experience as a student and a teacher: reading comprehension, logic, and writing.
I have also helped prepare quite a number of students for standardized tests ranging from the SSAT to the GRE.
I received an A in Microbiology in college and my work in the genetics lab required the maintenances of bacterial cultures and working with viruses to inject DNA into cells.
I've used Outlook on a professional level for over 13 years as the director of technical support and client training for a software company. I used to train employees on optimizing their use of Outlook, Office and other software tools during a 15 min daily training class I taught for the company.
I worked for 9 years as the director of technical support for an academic software group that created the world's leading research software tools for the fields of Near Eastern and Biblical Studies. I have also taken several classes on computer programming so I understand what's under the hood, so to speak. When I was in college (1989) I spent one summer working as a computer hardware technician at Olympic Computers in Seattle, WA.
I took full year of Organic Chemistry in High School and then again in college, each time receiving an A. I worked for 2 years as a lab tech in a research lab in the Dept of Human Genetics of the Johns Hopkins Hospital. I also taught High School General Chemistry for one year.
I have taught reading for nearly 20 years (see my profile) and have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, more important than reading. It is such a privilege to help both children and adults discover the wonder of reading. Most of the students who come to me for help with science are actually struggling with reading. I can guarantee at least a grade-level jump in reading in just a month of meeting with me weekly and working at least 15 minutes a day. There is no charge for your reading assessment.
I have successfully finished a degree at a top university known for its painfully rigorous academics (3.35 GPA, Johns Hopkins) and 3 years of graduate study (3.75 GPA). I have 3 years experience as a primary school classroom teacher, and one year as a high school teacher. I have worked as a general tutor for underprivileged students in Baltimore through the chaplain's office at JHU. I tutored algebra for 5 months in AK successfully helping a problem student pass. I have helped teach a class on study skills to high school students. I am currently working as a Hebrew tutor for graduate students at Covenant Theological Seminary. I have taught English as a second language in Trujillo, Peru. I have helped my own children with their own study skills and they are all in the 95th percentile or higher on all standardized tests. I have 5 years experience in curriculum development and teacher training. I have had extensive experience in education and technical training as can be seen in more detail in my profile.
I have been writing and helping students with writing for well over 20 years. While my own education and experience should speak for my skills, my own kids do as well. My children have loved reading and writing from an early age. My oldest son began writing his first novel when he was 9 years old. My oldest daughter, now at Washington University, got a perfect score on her ACT verbal and writing sections. Of course I cannot claim credit for their gifts, but my teaching philosophy did play a significant roll in helping them to develop those gifts.

I had thought that I was getting pretty decent at casting a baitcaster without having bird nests, but I wasn't casting quite as far as I could, at least compared to a similar spinning set up. I've been running programs that take a while at work, so I thought I'd go out and get some practice in between runs and maybe catch something, too.
Since I've been trying to add a little distance, I've been bird nesting all over the place while the lure is in the air and launching all kinds of lures into the Patuxent. I read about turning my wrist while casting and not putting too much muscle into the cast, and both of those things seem to help a lot. I've also been checking the drop rate and adjusting the spool tension knob whenever I change lures and after several casts, but I'm still getting bird nests, and I can't figure out why.
One question I have is how do you set your brakes when you're adjusting the spool tension? All the way on, all the way off, somewhere in between?
The frustrating thing is that I'll have a great cast, then I'll cast again in the same direction relative to the wind with the same wind speed, and get a bird nest and lose the lure. I think I'm keeping my thumb pressure constant, but I can't be sure. I've had a few bird nests at the beginning of the cast, but I think that's from over-muscling it. Most of the bird nests seem to happen near the middle of the cast. Any thoughts?
I'm using an Abu Garcia Revo SX-HS with 20lb Powerpro.
Thanks in advance.
attach the lure you are casting.
reel it in to the rod tip
keep the rod level
put the reel in free spool thumb on spool
remove thum (from spool)
adjust the break (knob on the side) so when the lure its the ground/deck the spool stops spinning
That is how I was instructed to adjust the reel for casting..
"You're gonna need a bigger boat"-Police Chief Brody..
Try keeping the keeping the rod tip up/level and wrist striaght, I had a problem of dropping the tip/breaking my wrist right as the lure hit the water, line keeps spooling off, lure stops, causing the bird's nest.
I wouldn't fiddle with the breaks. Smoother casting will reduce backlashes: often when I try to wing a lure, the motion gets jerky, and I get a backlash. Most of the casting should come from your wrist. Try casting for awhile without moving your arms, but just snapping your wrists. Once you get that down, starting adding in modest arm motion. How big of a lure are you using? Some lures (lighter, or more wind resistance) will simply not go as far with a baitcasting setup versus spinning in my experience. As for spool tension, keep on adding until you stop backlashing. Usually for me this is just when you can barely feel tension in the knob. Any less and I backlash, any more and casting distance suffers. How long is your rod? I prefer seven footers personally.
If your thumb is getting burnt during the cast ,try feathering the side of the spool. I use Shimano baitcasters and have 3 brakes engaged while the 3 remaing brakes are off. Also, be sure to stop the spool when the lure hits the water. It takes a certain feel that only comes with time and practice
It takes some practice to get good at baitcasting reels - even then - a birdnest now / then is to be expected.
Snag an antenna while casting - you want to see a bird nest - ouch.
I never liked the brake / tension knob - instead , used my thumb. You develope a 6th sense on how much pressure to apply and when.
Most times with baitcasters - you are looking at short but very accurate casts.
If distance is the goal - spinning gear gets the nod.
If you aresnapping off lures - most likely you're trying to force more distance then the rod / reel or lure can deliver.
One good casting tactic is to swing the rod almost level with the ground - but slightly angled upwards. This keeps the lure in a flatter arc - but again - only so much distance can be expected.
I know some bass gurus go to great lengths to get their baitcasters to perform. They remove the level wind - use special lube on bearings - polish the spool shaft - and guess what ? They still get a backlash now / then.
If you are casting accurately 50 to 75 feet with no backlash - I'd be happy.
Farther then that needed - grab a spinning reel.
They say that life's a carousel - spinning fast, you've got to ride it well.
Don't snap it and use your thumb to control. If you try to get that extra yard it will bite you in the A$$
livelining, free spool and use the tension knob to limit the spots movement. much better than a bait runner and all you have to to is touch the handle and the drag is locked
Here, in a nutshell, is how I taught my boys:
Keep the brakes at the factory setting. Tie on a half ounce jig head, hold the rod tip straight out and tighten the tension adjustment so that the lure falls, but is somewhat restricted (not much). You have it set right when the spool turns a quarter to a half turn when the jig head hits the ground. Now, make an overhand cast above your head while keeping your wrist and arm straight. In other words, a lob cast. Keep your thumb on the spool so that you can feel it turn, but not so hard that it slows it down. When the lure stops at the end of the cast, stop the spool with your thumb. Keep practicing those lob casts gradually increasing your distance and slowly easing off on the tension until you start getting some distance. Don't be greedy, you have to practice some before you can really throw far.
Once you get absolutely comfortable with the lob casts is the time to start working a little wrist snap into your process. At first, don't snap at all, just stop a little shorter than you did with your lob casts making sure you keep your thumb on the spool. You might need to pick back up on the tension knob a little. After you've stopped short and the lure takes flight, follow through by keeping the rod tip pointed at the lure all the way through its trajectory. Again, put your thumb down as soon as, or just before the lure hits the ground or water. Don't even worry about rotating the reel until later on. That's a technique designed more to keep the older Garcia reels in check.
Gradually increase your snap as you get more comfortable. This is a process that takes years, not days or weeks to master. The good news is, you really don't need much distance for baitcasting on the Bay. Most of my casts are underhand flips and less than a hundred yards. I usually use a spinning outfit for topwater or light lures in the wind. That said, don't underestimate the advantages of a baitcaster for jigging rockfish around structure. Oh, yeah, one more thing - If I were teaching a baitcasting course professionally class 101 would be called "backlash picking" and last three months!
I would also drop down to 14-15lb line unless you are sure HUGE fish are around.

It is in very good condition, there are few minor dock dings on the decals and gelcoat. I tried to photograph them, but they are too small to show up on film. The trailer developed some rust spots about the size of a quarter within the first year. See the photos for more details. The pictures are from april/may and it has only been used 1 time since then. There are some dime shaped stains (very faint) on one of the seats and on the carpet. I am sure they could be removed, but i've not had the time to try.

Historical Traveler Reviews Valamar Argosy Hotel Dubrovnik
Top 3 star Dubrovnik hotel !!!
We stayed at the Hotel Argosy for 1 week in Jun 2006. First impressions are not great when you arrive outside the bland concrete exterior but pleased to say that our opinions changed very quickly. The hotel offers basic accomadation that you would expect from a package 3 star hotel. We opted for a room (261) with balcony and view and given the slight extra in cost it was certainly worth the money. The views were amazing. Rooms and bathrooms were both large and very clean. A/C was a must in the summer. Staff couldn't be more friendly. Breakfast as discribed by previous reviews, was more than ample and a great start to the day. The average age of guests was 65+ and mostly from Germany and France (We are Brits in our 30's). This wasn't a problem and only provided a very relaxing and quiet hotel. Pool area great and very clean. The hotels accomadation is the major plus- in a lovely woodland area out of town near a local beach (Shingle at best) but within a few mins walk to a bus stop. Buses (try and get a 6A if you can) run every 15 mins and take 15 mins to get to the Old town. Would recommend sunset drinks at the neighbour hotel (Hotel President- 4 star). Over all would certainly recommend the hotel for a basic, value for money stay and would definatley return. The photos hopefully given an indication of how lovely the place is !!!
Basic, but good value and convenient
Stayed at the Argosy in April '06, first impressions were 1960's housing estate (internal balconies!!) but soon warmed to the place. Staff were always very attentive, good English and very hospitable. We'd upgraded to a room with balcony/sea view (not much more expensive than standard), and must say it didn't disappoint. Very modern, spacious (high, sloping ceilings) and comfortable with air con ( especially useful when the weather isn't so good and you need to use the "heat" setting!!). Breakfast in the huge dining room was good with a choice of Continental or cooked (although streaky instead of back bacon, frankfurters and not pork or beef sausages!), and you could go sit on the outside balcony and take in the lovely view.
Outside, the gardens were pleasant and led to some nice, quiet beaches (don't expect sand, though, it's shingle at best) - check out the exotically named "Copacabana"!!
As for connections to Dubrovnik, again faultless as the bus stop was a 2 minute walk, and the service runs every 10 minutes (journey time about 15 minutes). It's cheaper buying your tickets at the reception than from the driver ( a saving of 20p per journey!).
All in all, a very pleasant stay and I'd definitely stay there again.
Value for money
We considered this excellent value: a comfortable double room with 6' bed, seaview, sparkling bathroom, new TV, aircon and frig for �28 each. The buffet style supper was copious for �15, but we ate in much more comfort in the 4-star President next door (same Austrian management) for less, including wine. The Argosy was totally revamped in 2002, and is in a lovely quiet location near the sea. The bus to the old town leaves every 10 minutes, taking about 15 minutes.
Quiet - but lovely location
Just returned from Dubrovnik - one of the most stunning and beautiful places we have ever visited (and we have been to some lovely places in the world).
The Argosy may not be the nicest hotel we have stayed at but is was pleasant enough. We were put into a room overlooking the park (situated at the side of the Argosy) with no balcony, functional, clean but dark and disappointing. However, another couple we met there asked to be upgraded and commented their room was fantastic, light, airy, with a balcony overlooking the Adriatic with a backdrop of mountains - brilliant.
Breakfast was good, with both cold and hot choices. Evening dinner was good but not exceptional.
I do think the hotel should hold an 'employee of the week' competition which might improve the service!!!
The bar shuts at 12ish and they are reluctant to serve you after that time (and make it very clear) as do the bars in the cafes on the main road in Dubrovnik old town, to get a drink after that time you need to visit the bars in the side streets.
The swimming pool is a disappointment (under cover and freezing) but you are able to use the pool of any of the other hotels nearby, try the one in the Terini, fantastic. If you fancy being a bit active you can join in the aqua-aerobics, pilates or aerobics classes run throughout the day. There is a children's mini-club held in the local park and families with children (3-6) said the children had thoroughly enjoyed being involved with the club.
The hotel is situated in the Babankuk area of Dubrovnik. It is ideal for getting to the beaches and easy to get the local bus into Dubrovnik. If you are fit you can walk into Dubrovnik along the scenic path to Lapad (will take 1-1.5 hour).
Don't book on the boat trips with the reps at the hotel. Walk into Lapad and book outside the Hotel Lapad. This will cost you between 100-180 kunnar (depending on whether you want to eat) as opposed to 260-300 kunnar at the hotel! For 180 kunar you are taken around the three Islands and on the main Island taken to Peggy's restaurant for a fish or meat dinner (cooked on the barbi) with starter and sweet, plus drinks at the restaurant and on the boat!
I would certainly go back again (but will probably try the President Hotel next door).
Good location, Clean, unfoitunately air conditioning did not work. food fair,
Beautiful location
The hotel is very clean and I would agree it is uninspiring to look at (1970's style). I would recommend it for those who are looking for a peaceful location and not after 24hr entertainment.
There are a few shops, a bar, an ice-cream/pizza parlour and a restaurant on the complex. (We ate at the Restaurant Lindo a couple of times and it was very good).
We booked on a half board basis although we did not eat in the hotel every evening as I found the experience to be less than relaxing - not my idea of fun. On the whole the quality of the food in the hotel was average.
Tip: Head for the Hotel Neptune and find the coastal path which will take you along a very pretty walk into the town (takes approx 15-20 mins). There is a lovely cafe and a restaurant along the way and as you head into the town there are many more bars and restaurants to choose from.
There is a good bus service (buy tickets at the little shop in the hotel as they are cheaper than on the bus) which takes you through the new town and ends up outside the old town. The bus does get very crowded.
All in all we had an enjoyable holiday and hope to return to Croatia.
Not so good
me and my wife spent 1 week at this hotel thank god i didnt book 2 weeks. hotel pool was that cold no-one ever went in it.bar shut at twelve we stopped down talkin to some friends we ad made the staff turned the lights off and told us to go to bed as this is the rules of the hotel.ther is only 1 rest and 3 bars on complex beside other hotels food is good but was same every night needless to say i will not go to this hotel again.average age of tourist in the week i was there was 70-85 this caused the hotel to have no atmosphere.(thank god liverpool won)
Great hotel
Stayed here in June 2004 - great hotel for the price! Very clean. Food is average but I suppose you expect that with buffet style. When we first arrived in the evening we had been allocated the wrong room (definitely not the one we had paid for) which was not very nice at all. After spending a night in that room we were moved to our correct rroom and managed to negotiate a reduced rate for late check-out as compensation. Staff were very nice and friendly at all times.
Good value hotel
Stayed here in June 04, outside its uninspiring, but it's rooms are pleasant and have air-con. Provides a great base to explore this wonderful country. Bus into old town very near,cheap and regular. Pool is very nice, but attendent is a bit rude. Reccomend you take a massage, so relaxing ! Food is average for the price, but loads of good restaurants in old town, and nearby.
Soulless but has good facilities
We stayed here as part of the accommodation provided in the course of an organized package tour of Croatia. The hotel is large and seems to be geared to providing accommodation for tour groups such as the one we were part of. The hotel as such is rather bland and characterless. It is located on the Babin Kuk peninsula which is almost a 10 minute drive from the historic center of Dubrovnik. However, from the large dining room there are extensive views of the harbour. The room we had was most pleasant with good amenities. The service was variable in standard. In general staff needed to place a greater emphasis on being courteous rather than on being brusque and regulatory in their dealings with guests.

Cherry-Almond-Toffee Bars
Dried cherries and toffee bits work wonderfully together in this recipe for Cherry-Almond-Toffee Bars that also features toasted almonds.
Total Time: 30
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup toffee bits (such as Heath or Skor)
- 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate morsels
- 3/4 cup dried cherries, roughly chopped
- 3/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted and roughly chopped
- 3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature, cut into pieces
- 3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1-1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
Preheat oven to 325°. Coat a 9x13-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl to aerate and combine. Stir in toffee bits until coated, then set aside.
Toss together chocolate morsels, cherries, and almonds in a small bowl, then set aside.
Place butter in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat with a flat paddle on medium-high speed until creamy, about 3 minutes. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar gradually and continue beating on high speed until light and fluffy, scraping down the bowl once or twice; beat in vanilla extract. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, again scraping down the bowl once or twice.
Turn the machine off, add about one-third of the flour mixture, then beat at low speed. Gradually add the remaining flour, mixing just until blended. Stir in half of the chocolate-cherry-almond mixture. Spread into the prepared pan.
Bake 15 minutes, or until the dough turns golden brown around the edges and top but is not fully cooked. Scatter the remaining chocolate-cherry-almond mixture evenly over the top. Bake about 20 to 25 minutes longer, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Set the pan on a rack to cool completely. Cut into 2-inch squares. (Bars may be stored at room temperature in an airtight container up to 1 week.)

See Erie rain gardens at work
Every time it rains or snow melts, the health of the very water used by millions for drinking and attracting tourists, anglers and boaters is negatively impacted.
Land use causes precipitation to become one of the greatest threats to water quality and quantity. Instead of soaking into the ground, water runs off roofs, lawns, streets and parking lots into storm drains or directly into waterways.
This excess runoff impairs water quality, causes flash floods and streambank erosion and reduces groundwater recharge. Trash, dirt and pollutants on lawns, streets and parking lots are carried by stormwater runoff into Presque Isle Bay, into Lake Erie and finally into the ocean, creating water quality problems and habitat destruction all along the way. Sediments clog streams and reduce oxygen. Chemicals poison aquatic ecosystems and can render water supplies undrinkable. Lack of groundwater recharge exacerbates water shortages in many areas.
To minimize these problems, Environment Erie and Pennsylvania Sea Grant are engaging businesses, nonprofits, citizens and students to reshape their neighborhoods. Adding green infrastructure such as rain gardens helps to naturally collect and infiltrate stormwater.
This watershed approach has a positive impact on drinking water and improves water quality in Lake Erie and its tributaries. Rain gardens also can keep excess water from flooding buildings and low spots. This method is in use at the Plastikos building on Hawthorne Drive in Summit Township and the parking lot at Urban Engineers at West 13th and Sassafras streets.
Environment Erie and PA Sea Grant worked with the owners at these sites to install rain gardens and to use these projects and future ones to educate others so they, too, will manage stormwater, increase habitat and beautify a dull landscape. Funding was provided by the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative through the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection's Office of the Great Lakes and from various sources, including the property owners.
Last month site visits to the Plastikos rain gardens and other projects were included in a two-day workshop for municipal officials, engineers, the development community and others involved in managing stormwater. More than 65 people attended the "Managing Municipal Stormwater" workshop sponsored by Penn State Cooperative Extension, Sea Grant and Environment Erie. Topics included new stormwater regulations, timelines and best management tools for implementing green infrastructure solutions.
Other upcoming Environment Erie and PA Sea Grant projects include rain garden installations at Iroquois Elementary School and at St. George Catholic School. These sites will also serve as educational outdoor classrooms so the next generation of homeowners, business leaders and municipal officials can learn the value of natural water resource protection.
In preparation for the rain garden at St. George School, Nate Millet, Environment Erie's environmental educator, has been teaching students about the water cycle, rain gardens, and native plants. On May 28 some of them will attend the Millcreek Township public meeting hoping to influence municipal officials on the need for green infrastructure. They have also invited municipal officials and others to attend a ribbon-cutting for the St. George rain garden on June 4 at 2 p.m.
What about you? What are you doing to reduce stormwater? An inch of rainfall doesn't sound like much. But when it falls on an average-size roof, it adds up to a 1,900-gallon torrent rushing off the eaves. Don't let it add to the problems. E-mail Matt Pluta at email@example.com or Anna McCartney at email@example.com for more information. Then stay tuned for upcoming EE/PASG workshops, including some for homeowners.
ANNA McCARTNEY, a communications and education specialist for Pennsylvania Sea Grant, can be reached by e-mail at email@example.com.

Available formats: epub mobi pdf rtf lrf pdb txt html
I live in Australia. Ex-British.
Always a writer, but it's with Amgalant I settled down. Before that, I spent years over a creative translation of Beowulf, and on unfinished sf/f novels with an inclination to New Weird – often a historical setting with extraterrestrials. Now it's simply Mongols. An encounter with the Alexiad in my teens captured my imagination on behalf of steppe peoples, and afterwards I saw Gibbon's Decline and Fall from a barbarian perspective.
I'm interested in the convergences and intersections of history and imaginative work. I've understood the past through its written arts; and I think it's possible to write decent history as art, too.
Review by:
John Caviglia
on June 24, 2013 :
Amgalant One: The Old Ideal takes the beginning of the slim volume that is The Secret History of the Mongols (which, in the edition I found at Amazon, has fewer than 200 pages of verse) and enlarges it to create a compulsively readable, immersive world. And as this work--roughly six hundred pages in itself--begins an audacious trilogy intended to expand the whole of The Secret History, the prospective reader might ask why, and how, Hammond has so amplified the spare original....
As to the why, it's clear that she is herself enraptured by the time, the place ... and above all the historic characters she fleshes out to live their complex tribal lives. Hammond has researched every aspect of her enterprise, not to harass us with needless historic detail, but to make sure that the experience of the reader will be full and genuine. This is your chance to travel in space and time, and BE THERE, as the Temujin of the text--one day to be known as Genghis Khan--is fashioned into what was prophesied at his birth, when he was born with a blood clot in his fist.
You learn what the Mongols eat (a lot of sheep, it seems) and drink (black milk!). You discover many other things about their tribal culture. But essentially, the novel takes you into the minds of the protagonists as the Secret History plays itself out....
Seeing as Mongols saw each other, and the world (I got a new take on ancient China, and the wall intended to keep barbarians out), is where much of the action takes place. Interior conflicts.... Interior/exterior conflicts.... Interior monologues.... Interior dialogues ... trialogues...? Tribal conferences. Alliances with Tartars? War? What to do? Questions are at the heart of this version of the Mongol enterprise, when the future of much of the world could hinge on a shaman's reading of the cracks in a sheep's scapula. The rise of Genghis Khan might have been prophesied, but in this novel it was a supremely complicated thing to those who lived the beginnings of the largest empire known to man in tents.
As for the novel's actual prose, there's an aspect that at first was hard for me to get a handle on.... Hammond is totally (gleefully!) anachronistic, both in authorial commentary and in the speech and thought of her characters, so that the 13th century is displayed through contemporary, sometimes slangy, language. Ta! If you are bothered by anachronism, you will be bothered. As for me, once I adjusted, I thoroughly enjoyed the ride, for Hammond's writing is rich, nuanced, humorous. Also, since there is no record of how her protagonists actually spoke, by simply abdicating from the attempt to "translate" their tribal language(s), she avoids the clunky linguistic contrivances of novelists that attempt to fake ancient and foreign, never written speech....
And I loved the strength and wisdom of the women in this novel, which surprised me, given a society in which they could be one of the spoils of battle.
In sum, Amgalant is a rare and different, wonderful read, although not always easy. Hats off to Hammond for her long, loving and continuing discipline. I look forward to reading the next volume.

I found this book somewhat difficult to get through. In itself the story was great and it was very interesting to read about the Mongol culture, but because I knew very little on the subject, I had some trouble getting into the story. A lot of cultural aspects are entangled in the story, and without any prior knowledge it is a bit overwhelming in the beginning. At first the unfamiliar names and customs sometimes confused me, and I really needed to look up the Mongol names and terms used to keep track of the story.
Later on I did get drawn in more, and did enjoy the story. It is very interesting to read and I think it gives a good view of how people lived and their customs and ideas. Apart from giving a nice insight into Mongol culture, the characters in the novel are also very real and worked out very nicely, we really get to know the main characters.
I would very much like to read more about the Mongols and Temujin (Tchinggis Khan), I find the culture and history very interesting, and since I knew very little of it I would like to read more.
All in all, a nice book with a good story and a wealth of information, but not a light read in my opinion.

My sister Bryn Hammond has published her first novel - or, to be more exact, the first volume of her novel Amgalant: The Old Ideal. And it is magnificent.
Now you may think that I'm biased, and maybe I am - but the truth is that this is My Favourite Book Ever. Bryn knows that I wouldn't say that if I didn't mean it in the simplest and most straightforward of ways, and the rest of you will of course make up your own minds one way or the other. But I love this book, and the second volume as well (which will be available soon), and I am eagerly anticipating the third (which has yet to be written).
Amgalant is a retelling of The Secret History of the Mongols, the story of the man we know today as Genghis Khan, but whom we meet as the lad Temujin. It is set, of course, some centuries ago in a country and among a people with whom most of us aren't familiar. And it brings the whole to such vivid life, it's as if it's all happening right here and now to us.
Before we meet Temujin, we meet his parents, the chivalrous Yesugei and the marvellous Hoelun.
It wasn't that Yesugei was harsh, but people found a sad eye from him very hard to stand.
From what should have been inauspicious beginnings - he is moved to kidnap her - they come to love each other, and from that very first chapter I was in love with them, too. As I was with the novel. Bryn retells the story in ways so evocative, so full of human motivation, and always with such respect for human dignity, that we are moved to understand things that our modern world no longer condones. In this she reminds me of Patrick O'Brian and his skills in recreating ways of thinking that are in the past and rather foreign to us now - evoking them in such vividness and with such respect for all involved that we become involved, too.
Hoelun was a queen in her court in her weather-battered great tent in the wilds; there she answered to no-one, and she flourished.
Bryn recreates a whole world here, with its varied peoples and customs, beliefs and mores. It is large and vivid and whole. As detailed and as solid as today. In this she reminds me of Tolkien and his creation of an epic Middle-earth. The narrative is pungent with truth and ayrag.
People, and boys the worst, are so much more intelligent than what comes out of their mouths.
(I found myself salivating to drink ayrag, by the way, even while I wondered how anyone even could. I mean, whose idea was it to first try fermented mare's milk…? How desperate could they have been? But the characters love it, and now I can't help but love it, too. From a respectful distance.)
And by no means is this novel all serious business! There is plenty of awesome humour, of the clever, quiet, wry, character-driven sort. The book had me laughing and chortling and burbling along, sometimes all at once. I'd give you an example here, but it's the sort of humour that belongs so much in context that I feel I should leave you to find it there. Oh, OK, one little snippet which won't need any backstory.
Pardon my Chinese, lady. We don't have a Mongol word for what they are.
Meanwhile, the story tells us about both whole peoples and the individuals who create history through their lives, their choices, their loves, their heartaches. There are Arthurian echoes, of a leader seeking to unite fractious tribes against a common enemy, endeavouring to create justice based on right rather than might, trying to deal well with both the big picture and the personal, and all the while searching for his definitive hat.
Wisdoms, the sport of kings.
Give Amgalant a try! You can sample up to half of it for free on Smashwords. You might not care for Temujin and his story after all, of course - but there's also a very real chance you might come to love him like I do.

Amgalant One: The Old Ideal is the first novel in Bryn Hammond's historical fiction trilogy set in northeast Asia in the late 12th and early 13th centuries. Hammond's protagonist is the person we know as Genghis Khan.
One of the many delights I encountered in this novel was that it's written from the point of view of the Mongols. We speak of the Great Wall of China as if it were a single smartly executed defensive structure built by the civilized Chinese to keep out their "barbarian" neighbors to the north. Maps of the "Great Wall" reveal that it's actually a number of mostly parallel east-to-west walls. The Mongols and their allies viewed these walls as offensive movements by the Chinese to bring more and more "barbarian" territory into China.
Thus: "these ghastly dead gigantic insects that crept across the steppe. . . . These ugly mean-spirited possessions of our mother earth, these worms, these anti-liberty flags and wind-blown banners to imprisonment, these thistles in the grass, these lines of poison. A nomad can do poetry, on walls. The Wall is what we hate. Civilization is what has done us wrong."
Another joy for me is Hammond's unique style, which isn't meant for quick reading but for reading and contemplation. Here are some tidbits:
"'Too stupid for battle. Is that a sort of oxymoron?' His uncle the khan fixed an eye on him. 'An oxymoron's the other thing.'"
"At the worst news in the Mongols' history, she wept for joy." (She'd also learned that the man she loved had survived a disastrous war fought against both the Tartars and Chinese.)
"Survivors, for their punishment, have the worst sight."
"Even a suspect action can have a nice consequence."
"There's a funny trick with knowledge of the future: you're not meant to act and twist things up. You're almost meant to know and then forget—go on as if you didn't know."
"The world's early kings were sacred kings and had to be. Religious awe: tried-and-true to subjugate minds and overthrow the insistent, rowdy equality of tribes. In general, religion is found hand-in-glove with despots."
And I'm so glad to see these "uncivilized" Mongol "barbarians" portrayed as people whose humanity and intelligence equal, when they don't exceed, our own.
The son of a chieftain and his brothers abduct the bride of a member of another clan. They're pleased when the groom makes no futile attempt to fight them off. They didn't want to harm or kill him. The bride, who'd invited her abduction by staring approvingly at her abductor, wastes no time in deciding she'd rather have him for a husband than the man she'd been promised to.
The new couple's first child, born on the worst day of that disastrous war, is Genghis Khan.
This is the kind of historical fiction I love. I greatly enjoyed the time I spent with Hammond's Mongols.

Lavender Ironside
on Feb. 07, 2012 :
This large and finely crafted novel is the first in a trilogy which seeks to bring The Secret History of the Mongols, the oldest surviving Mongolian written work, to life. The Secret History is part historical record, part fanciful myth, and all Genghis Khan – or Tchingis Khan, as he is more properly called, and Temujin even more properly still, for that was the name of the real man who rose to legendary greatness on the Mongolian steppes.
The Old Ideal begins with a groundwork in Mongolian myth and religion, then builds to a family history of Temujin, and finally Temujin himself arrives on the scene, a baby born in the midst of war, on the day his father dies. Temujin grows up amid war – not only the war that took his father's life, but also a war among his half-brothers. From early in his life, the reader can sense that this boy is more than a boy – he has an air of destiny, and courage that few possess. The novel tracks Temujin through his early adulthood and ends with his assumption of the title Khan. Further exploits – including much defeating of other clans – are promised in the next installment, appropriately subtitled "Tribal Brawls." And, the reader assumes, the feat for which Tchingis Khan was best known, uniting the Mongolian tribes into one great empire, will surely follow in the trilogy's final installment.
What's extraordinary about this novel is the way the narrative feels both modern, as if the story is being related by your history-buff friend from 2012, and perfectly historical, as though your friend is also a time-traveler from some era around the middle of the thirteenth century. Bryn Hammond has accomplished a feat seldom seen in literature: Retaining the very distinctive character of her historical source material while injecting it with her own narrative voice; and this feat is all the more remarkable when you consider that this is a long book. My Kindle shows over 12,000 "locations" in the text, which converts to roughly 580 pages of printed text.
In part, Hammond has made The Secret History her own by weaving in bits of poetry and prose from other native literary sources who wrote extensively and rapturously on the subject of heroes. According to her author's notes, Hammond entwined the hero-poetry of the Old English (including but not limited to Beowulf – Aha! I thought that passage was familiar!), the Germanic tribes, and even of the Inuit. The result is a hero story that feels at once specific to Tchingis Khan and universal to all heroes everywhere; and the text itself takes on the flavor and rhythm of ancient poetry.
And there's the rub. Hammond has been so faithful to her source material that a modern reader may find herself stumbling frequently. It is often necessary to stop and "unpack" the meaning of a sentence or a passage, in the same way that a modern reader new to Old English writing must ponder over Beowulf. Often I found myself a bit dazed by the sudden mention of an unknown character or event, only to have that character or event explained in full later in the chapter. The result was feeling as if I'd walked in on a conversation I was never meant to be a part of, and had to "catch up" later on. A bit less faithfulness to the original material could have provided a more accessible reading experience and a tighter flow of plot – but my wish for a slightly more modern reading experience doesn't lessen my admiration for what Bryn Hammond has achieved in her near-flawless marriage of historical poetry and modern storytelling.
Thanks to the author's extensive research and her obvious love for the setting and characters, Amgalant is rich with historical detail. The smallest parts of life on the Mongolian steppe are clearly illustrated – household gods (and how to properly worship them), clothing, what constitutes richness versus poverty, and so much more. Yet the novel never feels like a "fashion show," as so many historical novels do, nor are these details delivered in the dreaded "info dump." Hammond has pieced together an education in Mongolian culture, an admiration for epic hero poetry, and the fascinating stories of real people using practically invisible stitches.
While we are on the subject of real people, the richness and depth of character in this novel is as remarkable as the rest. Amgalant: The Old Ideal has a good many characters – I hesitate to declare that there are as many as in your average George R. R. Martin novel, but surely the count comes close. But as much care has been given to the individuality of each and every one as has been given to the individuality of Temujin himself. Often characters are witty, too, so that this novel provided me with several laugh-out-loud moments as I read the snappy exchanges between all these well-drawn characters.
Amgalant is an impressive achievement. Mongolian culture is rarely explored in historical fiction, and Tchingis Khan is usually depicted in few dimensions – that is, as a big scary barbarian conqueror, not as a man with a real history. Amgalant's first volume shows much promise that, when the trilogy is concluded, the world of historical fiction will be able to enjoy the history of the Mongols from a different, truer, more satisfying perspective. I look forward to the next book.

Kell Brook: If I Lose To Saldivia, I Will Quit Boxing
By Steve Lillis, courtesy of The Daily Star
KELL BROOK has vowed to retire if he loses to Hector Saldivia at the weekend.
Unbeaten Brook faces the Argentinian in an IBF welterweight title eliminator in his hometown of Sheffield knowing victory will keep him on track to face Amir Khan next year.
But Brook, 26, admits it will be curtains for his career if he is defeated.
He said: "People keep saying I have talent and I know how much hard work I have done in this training camp.
"If I can't get rid of guys like Saldivia, I don't deserve to be at this level.
"That is why I'm saying I will pack up if I don't beat him."
IBF world champion Randall Bailey risks his title against Devon Alexander in Brooklyn this weekend and if Brook comes through at the Motorpoint Arena, he is guaranteed a shot against the winner early next year.
But an even bigger fight on the horizon would be a potential £5m 'Battle of Britain' against Khan.
Khan has teased Brook over his credentials and the pair rowed when they appeared on TV earlier this month.
Brook said: "I have got to come through this fight with flying colours and show why people call me the 'Special One'.
"I am not trying to do anything for Khan this weekend but there is pressure on me to perform.
"I want to show myself and the fans why people are banging on about me going on to achieve great things.
"I want to make a statement and impress against Saldivia so people put me up there with the elite of boxing."
Brook has improved his diet and must do likewise with his stamina after just getting through his 12-rounder against Carson Jones in July.
Much of his training camp has been spent in Fuerteventura in the Canaries, working with buddies from Dominic Ingle's gym.
On the undercard in Sheffield, Robin Reid and Kenny Anderson will battle for the British super-middleweight title.
The belt was vacated by George Groves due to injury.
