Rag Rug Handbook by Janet Meany & Paula Pfaff | (9 reviews) | ||
 Label: Interweave Press, 132 pages *Amazon Bestseller - Paperback |
Most Helpful Review (24 of 24 people found this helpful) | The One Book A Weaver Should Own I am definitely a novice weaver. This book spells everything out very clearly, from A to Z. Plus, short history of many of the manufacturers. The patterns included will take you from simple to challenging. I have other weaving books, but this one is the one I refer to the most. If you only buy one rag rug handbook, I recommend Janet Meany and Paula Pfaff's book. |

A Beginner's Guide to Kiln-Formed Glass: * Fused * Slumped * Cast by Brenda Griffith | (21 reviews) | ||
 Label: Lark Books, 128 pages *Amazon Bestseller - Hardcover |
Most Helpful Review (93 of 95 people found this helpful) | The Best Has Arrived! I love all types of kiln-working, especially fusing and slumping. I also collect books on kiln forming glass. So I have read quite a few. One reason I collect them is because there is something missing from one that may be found in another. Or perhaps one author advocates this technique, while another may support that technique. Frequently some aspect I am looking for isn't there at all and in some cases I wasn't able to find it in any of my books. So, imagine my surprise when I cracked open this book and found that it is wonderfully complete and beautifully illustrated! Brenda covers everything that a beginner needs to know. Frankly, I spent a couple of semesters in a college kiln forming class, and I learned things in (Read More ) |

Tamilee Webb's Defy Gravity Workout: The Revolutionary Workout Program that Lifts and Tones Your Entire Body by Tamilee Webb | (1 reviews) | ||
 Label: Fair Winds Press, 176 pages *Amazon Bestseller - Paperback |
Most Helpful Review (16 of 17 people found this helpful) | Tamilee Webb is human too! I have been using Tamilee's exercise videos for over 10 years and consider her to be my fitness guru. In this book, she is very open and honest about her own fitness slumps and her body's changes as she ages (she's 45). She has a helpful guide in her book about how to combine her fitness videos properly for the best results and best of all, her new plan involves walking for health. It's not a very long book, but it includes new ideas for putting together your own routine using minimal equipment. There are lots of clear, easy-to-use photos of her doing exercises and there is some content related to all-around healthy living. Her fans will like her book. |

A South African Night (1 reviews) | ||
 Label: HarperCollins, 32 pages *Amazon Bestseller - Hardcover |
Most Helpful Review (11 of 11 people found this helpful) | What a lovely book! I just bought this book for my grandchild and was so happy that he enjoyed it as much as myself. I am from South Africa, and was glad to find a book that showed the joy and sweetness of that country. People around the world forget that there are little children that go to sleep everynight all over S.A. and just live simple lives. The pictures were realistic and lovely and made me homesick! I think this gives my grandchild a wonderful view of an incredible country and they have brought back memories for me. Thank You |

Isle of Swords by Wayne Thomas Batson | (41 reviews) | ||
 Label: Thomas Nelson, 344 pages *Amazon Bestseller - Hardcover |
Most Helpful Review (11 of 12 people found this helpful) | A Rollicking Roller Coaster Ride on the Atlantic! All hands on Deck for this wonderful new Pirate adventure from Christian Fantasy author: WAyne Thomas Batson. Now, pretty colors and fancy packaging are no replacement for a great story--which this is, but I have to say "This book even LOOKS great!" I couldn't resist it when I saw it on the book store shelf. It's the kind of hardcover novel you want to keep around for your kids...Anyway...How is the story? Let me say that WAyne Batson keeps the action coming and the suspense as well. Every chapter ending made me have to keep turning pages--even when I knew I just had to get in bed! The story centers upon the pirate ship: William Wallace and its captain Declan Ross. The captain and crew, along with Ross' spirited teenage daughte (Read More ) |

Floyd's India by Keith Floyd | (2 reviews) | ||
 Label: HarperCollins UK, 192 pages *Amazon Bestseller - Paperback |
Most Helpful Review (11 of 11 people found this helpful) | An excellent guide - both India and Indian cuisine! I have loved Indian cuisine and culture for many years - and have read many books on both. In my collection, this book stands out as a truly great guide to authentic Indian cookery, and to the history and culture of India itself. Keith Floyd opens this book with a travelogue which is a joy to read. Profuse use of photographs create a great atmosphere as you see the places described come alive on the page. Next, we are introduced to a range of dishes (both vegetarian and non-vegetarian), and those I have tried I have enjoyed a great deal. In summary, this is a great book, and one of my favourite guides to India and indian food. If you are looking for a book on either, you could do a lot worse than to buy this book! (Read More ) |

Healing Fibroids: A Doctor's Guide to a Natural Cure by Allan Warshowsky | (11 reviews) | ||
 Label: Fireside, 288 pages *Amazon Bestseller - Paperback |
Most Helpful Review (45 of 46 people found this helpful) | AUTHENTIC HOLISTIC HEALING I'm thrilled that a conventionally trained MD-gynecologist is as knowledgeable about alternative medical approaches as Dr. Warshowsky is, and that he has made his knowledge available to the public. When a family member was diagnosed with endometrial cancer some years ago, I discovered how overwhelming the world of alternative medicine is, and how hard it is to find physicians who are adept at combining their conventional training with the vast array of alternative approaches that are out there. I wish there were more physicians like Dr. Warshowsky who can help patients navigate through the maze of conventional and alternative treatments and map out a clear and helpful holistic program. I love how he addresses emotional and spiritual issues (Read More ) |

Dogen's Pure Standards for the Zen Community: A Translation of Eihei Shingi (S U N Y Series in Buddhist Studies) by Eihei Dogen | (1 reviews) | ||
 Label: State University of New York Press, 272 pages *Amazon Bestseller - Paperback |
Most Helpful Review (19 of 20 people found this helpful) | Philosophy in Practice--Dogen's Eihei Shingi For those addicted to Dogen's poetic and philosophical writings (and I include myself among our number), this volume provides a useful, and perhaps necessary, insight into Dogen's practical concerns for the sangha. These writings contain the depth of Dogen's philosophical insight into zazen practice while speaking of the day-to-day details of monastic life. The Shobogenzo speaks of enlightenment in and as the "myriad things," this volume reveals the concrete myriad things in Dogen's life. Eihei Shingi is similar in style to Dogen's Shobogenzo Zuimonki as a down-to-earth collection of teachings meant to instruct monks. I believe it will appeal to those who enjoy Shobogenzo Zuimonki, those looking to create an authentic Zen monastic pract (Read More |

Buddha's Table: Thai Feasting Vegetarian Style by Chat Mingkwan | (9 reviews) | ||
 Label: Book Publishing Company (TN), 191 pages *Amazon Bestseller - Paperback |
Most Helpful Review (56 of 62 people found this helpful) | Excellent Introduction to Thai Vegetarian Cuisine.Buy It. `Budda's Table' by Chat Mingkwan looks like a typical `little cookbook' you commonly see published by Chronicle Books, some of which are decent and some of which are a waste of money compared to other titles available for a similar price. This book, published by a house with the incredibly modest name of `Book Publishing Company' out of Summertown, Tennessee, has lots to offer, even if it isn't published by Alfred A. Knopf, Harper Collins, or Artisan. Unlike the dominant cuisines of India, Thai cooking is not inherently vegetarian, and yet Buddhism, a religion with strong vegetarian tendencies is the most important religion in Thailand. This gives rise to the book's title and subtitle, `Thai Feasting Vegetarian Style'. This mea (Read More ) |

100 Lessons in Classical Ballet: The Eight-Year Program of Leningrad's Vaganova Choreographic School by Vera S. Kostrovitskaya | (12 reviews) | ||
 Label: Limelight Editions, 400 pages *Amazon Bestseller - Paperback |
Most Helpful Review (74 of 81 people found this helpful) | Marvelous Teaching Tool "100 Lessons" will give any ballet teacher, new or seasoned, incredible insight into building technically secure dancers. The book details eight years of lesson plans each building on one another and could either be used to develop one's own syllabus or as a wealth of ideas from which to create lesson plans. I highly recommend this invaluable source to all teachers and studio owners. |

The Complete Peanuts 1959-1962 Box Set by Charles M. Schulz | (20 reviews) | ||
 Label: Fantagraphics Books, 688 pages *Amazon Bestseller - Hardcover |
Most Helpful Review (24 of 26 people found this helpful) | Complete 2-book Set : Identical as the books sold separately only cheaper! The Complete Peanuts is definitely complete! It's a real collectors' item! Hats off to Fantagraphics Books for initiating such an ambitious project though their release schedule (releasing only two books every year - it will take twelve and a half years before the entire collection is published) leaves one frustrated. Each book contains 2 complete years of Peanuts - the funniest comic strip of all time (IMHO). So this two-book set contains four complete years of Peanuts - all the strips that were published between 1959-1962. Note that both books included in the boxed set are exactly the same ones that are sold separately. The books also contain full book jackets (i.e. if desired can be shelved separately). As of (Read More ) |

La casa adormecida by Audrey Wood | (5 reviews) | ||
 Label: Libros Viajeros, 32 pages *Amazon Bestseller - Paperback |
Most Helpful Review (22 of 22 people found this helpful) | La Casa Adormecida The language is simple and repeptitive, making this a great book to teach Spanish in Elementary and Middle grades. Illustrations are great. It's also a good book for native speakers practicing reading. I use it as a check-out book for English as a Second Language students, to motivate literacy acquisition. |

The Mystery of Christ: The Liturgy As Spiritual Experience by Thomas Keating | (2 reviews) | ||
 Label: Continuum, 129 pages *Amazon Bestseller - Paperback |
Most Helpful Review (61 of 62 people found this helpful) | Fresh insights on timeless truths Father Keating's haunting, exquisite reflections on the Scriptures and liturgy bring new depth and freshness to passages one may have heard a hundred times - but which, with each chapter, seem refreshingly new. For example, his treatment of the Annunciation, John the Baptist, and the parable of the Prodigal Son, and the continuing call to holiness in each incident, presented beautiful truths in an engaging, casual, and deceptively simple style. Father Keating's words about the "double bind" (doing God's will when two "callings" seem contrary), which he applies to the Passion of Christ itself, are intense food for thought, and he skillfully presents them in terms which are very easy to understand. Excellent work for anyone interested (Read More ) |

Not for Sale: The Return of the Global Slave Trade--and How We Can Fight It by David Batstone | (22 reviews) | ||
 Label: HarperOne, 320 pages *Amazon Bestseller - Paperback |
Most Helpful Review (39 of 39 people found this helpful) | An awful book -- What will you do about it? I have been working in Relief and Development for 26 years in Asia, particularly in war zones, refugee situations natural disasters, civil unrest and major social issues like trafficking. David Batstone gives a terrible, graphic picture of slavery in the 21st century from just about every continent. It grabs your heart and will not let you go. This issue will require the same kind of perserverance that William Wilbertforce overcame in abolishing slavery, changing laws and worldviews in the UK in the 18th century. We have had the privilege of supporting the work of Pierre and Simonetta Tami and the Hagar Project in Cambodia since its inception. We have seen upclose the horror and pain of children as young as 6 years being sold (Read More ) |

Strength to Love by Martin Luther, Jr. King | (19 reviews) | ||
 Label: Augsburg Fortress Publishers, 160 pages *Amazon Bestseller - Paperback |
Most Helpful Review (71 of 72 people found this helpful) | A revolutionary vision of Christianity Because of his inspiring leadership during the United States civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, and because he was assassinated while serving in that capacity, Martin Luther King, Jr., has become an iconic figure in popular culture. And I fear that King the "legend" has become so big that people may be paying insufficient attention to King the writer. If you want to experience King's insight and power as a writer, read "Strength to Love." This collection of sermons is an excellent summation of the philosophy he developed as a Christian clergyman, social critic, and advocate for the African-American community. Most of the sermons in the book begin with a Bible verse which ties in to the theme of each sermon. One of the main them (Read More |

Track Planning for Realistic Operation: Prototype Railroad Concepts for Your Model Railroad (Model Railroader)(3rd Edition) by John H. Armstrong | (15 reviews) | ||
 Label: Kalmbach Publishing Company, 144 pages *Amazon Bestseller - Paperback |
Most Helpful Review (43 of 44 people found this helpful) | A must-have for layout builders If you want to build a decent layout, are just curious as to how real trains operate on real tracks, or want to know why tracks are setup the way they are, this is the book for you. This book was recommended to me as an essential read by a friend, and he was absolutely right. The first part of the book focuses on real trains, yards, switching, sidings, passing, mainlines etc. The second part of the book applies that information to the world of model railroading. The worst part about this book is it will make you want an even larger space for your railroad so you can incorporate all the stuff you read about :-) |

Reef Creature Identification: Florida, Caribbean, Bahamas by Paul Humann & Ned DeLoach | (15 reviews) | ||
 Label: New World Publications, 448 pages *Amazon Bestseller - Paperback |
Most Helpful Review (11 of 11 people found this helpful) | The best Guide available Sponges, jellyfish, flat worms, crustaceans, mollusks, star fish, if it is not a fish then it is in this book. This is the authoritative reference for reef creatures (other than fish) throughout the Florida, Caribbean and Bahamas area. The most complete book on reef creatures that I have seen, it is easy to use and beautifully illustrated. Each creature has it's own full color picture along with a line drawing that points out the defining characteristics of that particular species. With a plastic cover and the pages treated to resist water it can be taken to the beach or onto the boat without much concern about the water damaging the book. Each entry has complete information on the creature from size, depth, range and habitat to the (Read More |

Janice VanCleave's Earth Science for Every Kid: 101 Easy Experiments that Really Work (Science for Every Kid Series) by Janice VanCleave | (4 reviews) | ||
 Label: Wiley, 231 pages *Amazon Bestseller - Paperback |
Most Helpful Review (26 of 26 people found this helpful) | Great Teacher or Home Experiment Resource I am never disappointed by a Janice VanCleave Book! This book lends itself well to experimenting with earth science using the scientific method. It outlines the purpose, materials needed, procedure, results expected, and explanation of results for each experiment. Experiments are included in the areas of space, rocks and minerals, movement of the earth's crust, erosion, atmosphere, weather, and ocean. The best thing is that they use common, easy to obtain materials! I use these books in my classroom a lot! |

There is very good practical information here, clearly researched and clearly presented.
