Book Description
They're cold-blooded, scaly, and strong, as well as downright impressive. This book is all about these "disappearing dragons." Filled with color photographs, maps, and charts, you'll learn about the similarities and differences between alligators and crocodiles. Two factual stories about American Crocodiles Houdini and Snaggletooth will give readers a new respect for these fascinating creatures.
Book Description
The Sporting Clays Handbook is a superb introduction to this new and exciting gun game. Sporting clays are an outgrowth of trap and skeet, but geared to simulate in their courses the actual conditions of bird and rabbit hunting. After a brief history of the sport, the author gives an especially clear and helpful description of sporting clays. And then he offers expert advice on which gun to buy, how to get started, basic shooting, what chokes, loads, and accessories are best, and much more. The book is filled with helpful photographs and there is even a glossary of sporting clays terms. The Sporting Clays Handbook is an alternate selection of the Outdoor Life Book Club. (7 X 91/4, 176 pages, b&w photos, tables)

informative introduction to sporting clays.......1999-06-03
This book provides a good overview of the sport. The contents however is dated, and there is little of instructional value. Overall this can only be considered a primer for further reading.
Book Description
Since its beginnings as a competitive sport in the United States, in the early 1980s, sporting clays has become hugely popular. The Sporting Clays Handbook was the text that matched that trend, providing American shooters with an essential primer for their new favorite sport. Now, some twenty years later, master shooting instructor Jerry Meyer offers a completely revised and updated book, addressing the needs of today’s sporting clays enthusiast, from beginner to expert. The author discusses proper shooting techniques, eye-hand coordination, understanding shotgun performance, practicing for competition, and much more. The result is more successful shotgunning, for both the hunter and sport shooter.

Book Description
Magnificent collection of handsome plates, meticulously reproduced from rare portfolio by Art Nouveau master that illustrated the application of animal forms in decorative art. Not only traditional, appealing shapes of graceful swans, peacocks and dolphins, but also finely detailed depictions of creatures seldom associated with beauty and ornamentation: bats, mice, lizards, and insects.
Customer Reviews:
excellent.......2001-01-16
This is an excellent book containing many different art nouveau animal patterns. The paper used is excellent. All the patterns contain a rich blend of color and the designs are wonderful.
Book Description
At last, an indispensable guide to the unique needs of the 2.5 million dogs adopted every year in America.
Unbelievably, there has never been a comprehensive training-and-care guide written for the adopted or "pre-owned" dog. Manuals abound for the puppy, even for the adult or mature dog, but Adopting a Dog has established itself as the standard work for this exploding population. John Ross and Barbara McKinney provide invaluable advice for every kind of adoptable dog: the older puppy, the overactive or unhousebroken adult dog, the shelter pooch, or even the mature canine in need of one last, loving home.
As previous dog owners know, great intentions are not enough to make your new pet a well-loved, well-behaved part of your family. Your enthusiasm after rescuing a homeless dog can quickly turn sour when problems appear. After all, it's not unusual for adopted dogs to bring all sorts of behavioral baggage with them. In fact, their behavioral problems may have been the reason they were given up in the first place.
Here, in one comprehensive volume, you will find an abundance of commonsense, canine advice—everything to make your dog adoption an unqualified success. Adopting a Dog covers common problems and provides realistic, effective solutions to:
- determining which dog is right for which home
- finding reputable breed associations, rescue organizations, and shelters
- helping your dog get along with kids and older adults, as well as with other pets
- retraining approaches for curing obsessive barking, separation anxiety, housebreaking problems, and fear biting
- overcoming the scars of previous abuse.
At the heart of Adopting a Dog is a pet-focused training program. In an easy-to-use, step-by-step style, Ross and McKinney show you how to overcome training challenges that are common to so many adopted dogs. You can teach your dog to behave, whether he is unruly on the leash, jumps all over guests, steals dessert, grabs the kids' toys, or struggles during a much-needed bath. Adopting a Dog is sure to be a standard reference work for any dog owner's home. 45 illustrations. Originally published in hardcover under the title The Adoptable Dog.
Customer Reviews:
Extremely helpful.......2006-06-07
I bought this book because I was adopting an adult Pembroke Welsh Corgi. I had never owned a dog before, and it was extremely helpful. It told me some things to expect as normal (she didn't eat for the first few days that I had her) and explained some of her behaviors, what they meant, and how to deal with them. If you are getting a puppy, this book also covers puppy behavior, training, etc. It's a great overview for new dog owners whether you're getting a puppy or adult dog, purchasing from a breeder or adopting from a shelter. Very comprehensive and helpful!!

Must-have book for beginner indoor gardeners........2007-02-08
A very informitiv book a great book for beginer and the expert . Well writen clear instruction picture well done thankyou
Best book for any gardener's library.......2001-12-22
This is one of those great books that helps beginners feel as though this gardening thing isn't so difficult after all. Plenty of photos and easy-to-follow instructions for plant care make Ortho's All About Houseplants an essiential for anyone who
wants to know the basic tips for growing houseplants. The "What Can Go Wrong" section extensively covers human errors,
insects and diseases - which cause so many new healthy plants to go bad in a hurry. I highly recommend this guide for any
gardener's book collection.
Must-have book for beginner indoor gardeners........2000-06-23

Ordained minister and "spiritual life counselor" Iyanla Vanzant doesn't know the exact moment when her soul opened up "and the spirit of the divine entered [her] body." But she will always remember the key insight that opened the door to her soul and simultaneously locked the door to her insanity: "If you know who walks beside you, you can never be afraid." This is the premise from which Vanzant has launched her enormously successful 40-day, spiritual self-help program. One Day My Soul Just Opened Up is designed as day-by-day journal/workbook to help readers believe in a divine presence while pondering daily spiritual lessons such as simplicity, peace, compassion, and nonjudgement.
The charismatic Vanzant (whom Oprah Winfrey considers to be one of the world's most admirable spiritual leaders) has a gift for humble, tell-it-like-it-is talk. She is also a wise and warm soul, eager to help others trust in love and find a relationship with God in order to get on with their lives. Readers especially like her daily list of inspirations titled "Let Me Remember." For example, under day 23, "When You Feel Angry," she uses the list to remind readers: "All things work to bring me healing"; "Forgiveness will provide relief and release"; and "Love will heal anything that is not an expression of love." --Gail Hudson
Book Description
One Day My Soul Just Opened Up is a program of inspiration and motivation that will help you work through problems and improve your emotional and spiritual health. Through exercises and readings, Iyanla provides you with the tools to tap into your strengths and make your dreams come true. One Day My Soul Just Opened Up will open your mind, heart, and soul to the truth of your identity as a creative and powerful being.
Download Description
Both an inspiring guide and a hands-on measurement tool that enables readers to chart their spiritual growth as it unfolds, "One Day My Soul Just Opened Up" encourages readers to use journal writing as a self-awareness process. Vanzant introduces 40 principles to follow and embrace in daily living as guideposts on the path toward spiritual strength and understanding.
Customer Reviews:
Perception Shift.......2007-09-24
My first thoughts were that this would be an inspiration book that would give me tidbit information that I could incorporate in my life here and there. Was I pleasantly surprised how Iyanla framed this helpful information. She allows you to look at her life and how she came to certain realizations. I prefer this method. It is always helpful to know that others are practicing what they preach. So I recommend you order this book with an open mind, really apply the principles to your daily life and your perception will change...because the energy you give off will be different. I will continue to re-read this book. I have bought this book for many friends because it is just that helpful! I see my actions and my perception of life differently and in a more spiritual sense.I say, all you need to come in with, is a desire to analyze yourself...forget about Iyanla as a great author,or tv personality. This book is about being a better you and purchasing this book is a great start!
Spiritual strength.......2007-07-12
For someone like me that has just searched a lifetime for some kind of meaning to our existance, this book is astounding. It is enlightening to discover that there are others that also become lost in the search in so that they stop searching---or so they think they do! Well worth the read.
Life changing.......2007-04-24
I read this book six years ago. It was my last year living in a hopeless marriage of my youth. Married at 19 to someone I barely knew, I was desperate, lost, and terribly afraid of what would happen if my family knew how miserable I was.
I read the book, and found the courage to leave, to live honestly, and to take on the threats of my soon to be ex-husband. My brother called me a disgrace, my ex-husband called me an unfit mother, and still I stood my ground. I made it through, and won in the courtroom battle. No longer would he dominate and terrorize me. Years later my brother apologized. Truth wins in the end. You just have to stand with your feet firmly planted in it.
One day I read this book.. and I know when my soul opened up. It was probably already there.. in me.. that fire, that courage. But when I read this book something changed, and it became action. My pride and fear no longer controlled me. Honestly about my feelings, honestly about my mistakes, and honestly about my dreams and future won over despair and weakness.
Maybe that sounds all flowery and poetic to you. Unbelievable because it's too easy to type... and hard to live. That's okay, I would have been skeptical too.
Buy the book, read it, and then see if you don't do something poetic because of it.
40 days of introspection.......2007-04-06
Good book to read and review your life with. All the lessons are indepth and stir-up feelings and introspection. I would have liked more biblical principles added. All her books are great, but they miss something with me.
I love Iyanla!.......2007-04-03
I haven't been disappointed yet. Her books always speak to my spirit and I enjoy reading them, they help you along your path of spiritual growth as well as personal growth. I usually read my books and pass them on..but not these!

Customer Reviews:
Ready to be revived?.......2007-05-11
Iyanla has written many books about spiritual and personal growth, and I have just about all of them. This one really touched me, because I could relate to it. It gives you motivation to change, encouragement to move up higher.
Uplifting.......2006-02-21
This a good kick start (or re-start in my case) to exploring your spirituality. Iyanla is an amazing writer and her down to earth style is the most appealing feature of her writing style. Kudos!
This book is the forbidden fruit, ladies!.......2003-09-23
I know this author is commercially successful & I am politically incorrect but I don't care. Somethings must be said.
This book is wonderfully written and sounds very, very good on the surface. All you have to do is be no more than moderately knowledge about the Holy Scriptures and, like me, you can see the real horror of this book.
I know this author is very popular with Oprah Winfrey and women are are "searching" for meaning in their lives. But don't be fooled! This is just ancient new age philosophy re-marketing thru a contemporary African American female. Nothing more.
If readers are so stuck on the publications of this author, then go to the true New Age sources like Rumi or Buddha. The writing is better and the books are less expensive than Ms. Vanzant's.
Just see for yourself. Good day.
Ms. Vanzant is amazing.......2000-12-14
Ms. Vanzant is not "gleaning ideas from many different religions which worship what the Bible refers to as "fasle gods" (this includes the worship of "self"), combining all the concepts she likes, and discarding the rest." When she says the worhship of self, she simply means to love yourself and view yourself as important. She is not meaning worship in the true literal sense of the word like worshipping God. This book is amazing like her others, and makes me feel better when I read it, like I am where I should be to learn and grow, even if I don't like the situation I am in.
A Vital Stopover on your journey to peace........2000-05-10
I did NOT hear the abridged version - I got the 3-CD set and play it in my car. Everytime I listen, I gain something new from it. Ms. Vanzant is soothing, spiritual, and streetwise earthy all at the same time. A woman I would be proud to call a friend...or in this case, a teacher. Thank you, Ms. Vanzant, for getting me through a painful, painful time and helping me be better on the other side. Thank you for sharing your gift and inspiring me to share mine.
