A good old-fashioned read.......2006-05-04
Personally, I love the old English murder mysteries that offer high tea in the afternoon, draughty mansions and enough arsenic lying around to kill off an entire ecosystem. Set in the English country side during WWII in a former nursing home that has been converted to a girls boarding school, this book offers a lot of atmosphere and intrigue. The plot is tight and clever and there are few loose ends. My only complaint is that the main characters are a bit remote. The author spends a lot of time describing them but, in a way, I didn't care about them. They just seemed to move about the story line like chess pieces. Overall, I enjoyed this book.

CLASSIC FANTASY.......2005-07-28
I'd never seen the anime version of this title, but I figured that if Satoshi Urishihara was doing the art, then LEGEND OF LEMNEAR would be jam-packed with sword-weilding busty barbarian babes. I wasn't disappointed!
Our heroine, the nubile vixen Lemnear, is on the usual fantasy quest, seeking revenge/validation/self-awareness, etc. She meets a variety of travelling companions and dukes it out with a number of bad guys. Best of all, her flimsy barbarian-wench costume is reduced to tatters early on, so she appears topless for the majority of this volume...EXCELLENT!
Its the abundance of nudity (nothing extreme, though...(...)) that earned this book the mature rating, but the overall fantasy storyline isn't adult in nature. The narrative is crisp and chugs right along, never lingering too long on any one point.
Of course, the best selling point about this book is Urishihara's artwork...dynamic and incredible in every way. If you're a fan of HEAVY METAL magazine, then you should give LEMNEAR a try.

Big Help.......2007-07-13
The book is clearly laid out and is a big aid in my Pranic healing. It is true your hands can heal.
Excellent Seller.......2007-03-26
Hi!
I'm from Valencia,Spain. I received this in a excellent condition. The shipment arrived in the estimated time.
Thanks
Great book for learning energy manipulation.......2007-01-03
This book combines information from different pranic healing-books. It covers a wide area of knowledge including: healing, energy exercises, what energy is and how it relates to healing, your energy anatomy and so on.
The book has great exercises to train you to manipulate your and you fellow beings energy fields. If you are already familiar with another type of energy healing, then this book has some new and valuable information, which I found useful.
If you are new to energy healing, and are wondering if this stuff is real, then I suggest you get this book and start using it's methods. That's the only way to find out for sure.
this works!.......2005-11-04
Am I crazy or what?
I can scan another persons aura. They can feel it, I can feel it and it scares me half to death. (I had to put the book down before finishing it)
As a Christian I'm not sure that this is the right thing to do.
Imagine we could all have healing powers inside of us and not even know it.
easy to read and easy to understand.
WOW what a book!
Simple yet complete.......2003-10-21
Pranic healing is effective, as shown by various studies (see www.pranicmds.org for a sample).
As a book on pranic healing, YHCHY is very highly recommended (especially for those new to pranic healing) because it is: 1) very clear, 2) very easy to read, and 3) surprisingly complete.
YHCHY is very clearly written. In the esoteric field of energy healing, one might expect some authors to hide behind language to avoid having to deal with details that are not easy to explain. YHCHY goes out of its way to explain in detail with clear concepts.
Although YHCHY is detailed, it is still very easy to read, and the directions are simple to follow. The book itself doesn't take too long to read, but packs a lot of information in relatively few pages.
What surprised me most about YHCHY is how complete and integrated it is. The book focuses primarily on basic pranic healing, but also gives techniques for other areas that together coalesce to form a complete system. For example, the book also includes some techniques for increased healing effectiveness through colored prana, protection, meditation, psychological well-being, and spirituality. The book isn't designed to be the only pranic healing book that you'll ever need. However, it does give you an idea of the breadth of applications that pranic healing has, and meanwhile gives you some access to those advanced techniques.
The book was criticized by one reader as having fluff. I strongly disagree. If the reader's sole focus is basic healing, then yes he could be correct. But these areas are all interrelated and synergistic. For example, many diseases have psychological roots, therefore techniques in psychological well-being can help in the healing process. Ditto with meditation, spirituality, etc. So, these seemingly irrelevant "fluff" are actually important and help increase healing effectiveness.

Wine process book review.......2007-10-01
I found the Complete Handbook of Winemaking by the American Wine Society to be very readable and found that it covered the whole wine making process very well.
Not only did it outline the wine making, but addressed almost any problem situation that might arise and offered solutions to most of them. All-In-All it was worth the time and expense.
5 For The Content, -1 For The Title.......2004-07-16
Beginners and first time kit winemakers: Do NOT buy this book. Make your wine from concentrate, ferment it, taste it, age it, etc, etc. Repeat. THEN buy this book, and learn why you did what you did to get what you did.
The articles presented in this book are fairly comprehensive in the sense that they cover the majority of the wines explored by home vintners. Still, sparkling, fruit, port, sherry, blends, and even vinegar are covered, each with their own article. BUT, in the modern sense of "complete" it fails miserably (apparently so does the the universe as a whole, but that's another review...)
Complete today means "tell me what to do". This is complete in the sense that all the groundwork has been laid, you have been educated enough to understand the finer nuances of winemaking, and you can now complete your wine with these facts in mind. Process is discussed at length, but it's always one specific step, ususally out of order with it's neighboring processes.
Alright, in a nutshell:
Have you made wine that tastes good before?
Do you want to know how to make it taste better?
Buy this book, and ignore the title.
Perfect for me.......2002-01-04
My son found this book and I had to get my own copy. We have been making wine for a few years but we were making mistakes and pouring it down the drain. Now we know why!
Wine and Cuisine.......2001-10-26
This is a good book for beggining wine makers. there are more indepth tomes but for the money this is your best bet to start with......
First-timer? Try another book.......2000-10-06
This book is interesting and very well written, however it is not very helpful for a novice in winemaking. I would suggest looking for another book.
The review written by David J. Leudemann sums it up best.

Excellent pictorial overview of horse breeds.......2007-08-29
This is an excellent book for people new to horses, or for those who want to learn a bit more about the different breeds from around the world without getting too much into the minutia. An excellent overview.
While some of the information on genetics and coloring may be outdated as some reviews point out, for most casual horse fans and readers this shouldn't be a turnoff. For those "breeds" he includes like Palomino that are actually based on color, he clearly states that these are not technically breeds. If you are serious about learning about horse genetics and coloring I would suggest buying a book that spends more than 2 pages discussing the topic.
The pictures are excellent and clearly show the different horse breeds. the notes are directly aligned to the conformation details for each breed addressed along with a brief history. I also liked that he gave brief coverage to horse temperment for most every breed. Something not often found in other books I have seen. Each breed gets 2 full-color pages. Does it cover every breed on the planet? No. But it does cover over 90 which again should be more than enough for the general horse loving populace.
Great photographs, but information a little outdated..........2006-02-16
Covers breeds, history and origins, care, grooming, english equitation and disciplines.
I loved this book when it came out, and have held on to it for many years. Initially, this book was very well received among horselovers everywhere. At the time there was nothing else like it: absolutely gorgeous full-colour, two-page spread photographs of some of the world's best known breeds, along with brief chapters on history and origin of the horse, and its relationship with humans, and various disciplines.
However, the book is somewhat generic in facts, and the text is mostly complimentary to the photos, with a definate english (British) slant (referring to the Paint breed as "pinto"). There is very little information given on western disciplines (ranching, roping, reining, western riding, western trail, etc), and the information given on colour genetics is questionable to say the least (a much better and more accuate book on this subject would be Sponenberg's "Equine Color Genetics").
In fact, much of the information given in this book is probably outdated. Still, if you are a horselover, or equine artist, you will enjoy breezing through this book, and the photographs can be very useful for study and research, or enjoyment.
Excellent photography.......2005-07-05
I first owned a copy of this book when it was published in 1991; the photographs are exquisitely vivid and colorful. The history of the various breeds are well-covered, but it is unfortunate that the information on coat colors and patterns is so basic (and, in some respects, obsolete). The description of the more common colors and markings are adequate and reliable for anyone just starting out on accurate color identification. Most horse books go into great detail on the history of breeds and types, but many leave readers in the dark regarding colors. Fortunately, for the serious student of horse colors, there are modern texts devoted to the subject of color genetics, which is the best way to learn how many colors and patterns occur in horses. This book is suitable for learning about the history of the horse, the various breeds and types, and is well worth it for the photographs alone.
A decent introduction to the horse for beginning equestrians.......2004-04-06
This book is a fairly good introductory reference to horses, suited for younger riders and horse enthusiasts just entering the horse world. It is well written and easy to understand. The first section of the book is entitled "The Essential Horse," and covers its evolution, domestication, the basics of conformation (including several very nice diagrams), the gaits (with nice photographic sequences of the walk, trot, canter, and gallop), the coat colors, the horse's senses, and behavior and communication. Most of this information is good, but the reader should disregard almost everything the author says about color genetics, as the majority of the information here is vastly outdated and has since been proven false (the book was published in 1991, so this is not surprising). A better reference to horse color would be Phillip Sponenberg's "Equine Color Genetics," though that text is not aimed at younger readers.
The bulk of the book is devoted to profiles on several different breeds of horse. Only a small sampling of breeds are included, but most of the major, most popular ones are covered. Each profile page includes information on the history of the breed, its influence on other breeds, its use, conformation, temperatment, and any other interesting facts. Most of the basic information is good, though there are occasional errors. There is a large, bull-body profile picture of each breed, often a headshot, and sometimes a few other photos or drawings. The breeds included are (in order):
Arabian, Barb, Andalusian, Thoroughbred, Anglo-Arab, Shagya Arabian, Lusitano, Akhal-Teke, Lipizzaner, Budonny, Kabardin, Don, Morgan, Quarter Horse, Hackney, French Trotter, Orlov Trotter, Standardbred, Friesian, American Saddlebred, Missouri Fox Trotter, Tennessee Walking Horse, Peruvian Paso, Mustang, Irish Draft, Norman Cob, Cleveland Bay, Gelderlander, Dutch Warmblood, Fredericksborg, Selle Francais, Danish Warmblood, Trakehner, Hanoverian, Holsteiner, Maremmana, Murgese, Oldenburg, Camargue, Rocky Mountain Horse, Furioso, Nonius, Knabstrupper, Pinto*, Palomino*, Australian Stock Horse, Appaloosa, Bashkir Curly, Landais, Ariegeois, Haflinger, Italian Heavy Draft, Norwegian Fjord, Icelandic Horse, Caspian, Falabella, Exmoor Pony, Dartmoor Pony, Welsh Mountain Pony, Welsh Pony, Welsh Cob, Dales Pony, Fell Pony, Highland Pony, Shetland Pony, Connemara, New Forest Pony, American Shetland, Shire, Suffolk, Clydesdale, Percheron, Ardennais, Breton, Jutland, Boulonnais, and Belgian.
* = the Pinto and Palomino, while presented in this book as breeds, are NOT actually breeds, but just colors. There are registries for these colors, but they accept horses of any breed, and are not actually breed registries.
There are also pages detailing the different "types" of horse (regardless of breed), suited for different tasks and disciplines: the hunter, the polo pony, the hack / riding horse, the cob, and the riding pony.
The third section is entitled "You and Your Horse" and covers the various aspects of horse ownership and care. Topics include how to buy a horse, stable maintenance, equipment for riding and care, riding clothes, grooming, shoeing, feeding, health care, pregnancy and birth, and foal development. This information is very basic, and you should of course consult experts before buying your first horse - other horse owners, veterinarians, farriers, etc. The clothing styles represented are a little outdated, as fashion in the horse world changes just as it does elsewhere, so it's best to talk to other riders and tack store employees if you are unsure.
The final section of the book, "The Horse and Man," discusses the various uses of the horse for both work and sport. It begins with the history of the horse as a labor animal, including the horse in war, as transportation, as a construction implement, and as an agricultural tool. It then goes into the different sporting disciplines: driving, classical equitation, western riding, hunting, dressage, show jumping, eventing, racing (including flat racing, steeplechase, and harness racing), polo, endurance riding, and sidesaddle. At the end of the book there is a glossary of key terms. Though this book isn't perfect, it's a good place to start. The topics covered are comprehensive, and the photography is good. Overall, a nice place for younger horse lovers to begin learning about their favorite animal.
Great for horse lovers.......2003-07-19
I really loved the photography of this book- each horse is photographed against a white background so you don't miss any detail. I wish there was more information about the temperament of each horse- it is listed for some, and not for others. Overall a great read. I was not looking for a lot of text about the history of the horse, etc. so this was the book for me. This book provides a wonderful tour of horse breeds from all around the world!
