    1 out of 5 stars Thumbs down.......2006-03-07

    This book is a good looking disaster. While attempting to learn about the authors qualifications, I soon realized he has none thus the glaring lack of anything about him anywhere in/on the book. Who is Chris McNab? The content, other than the illustrations which are quite fine indeed (they were done by two illustrators named only in small print inside the book not on the cover) is lacking in so many ways. Page 89 has a picture of a man throwing a spear via a "spear thrower", not an Atlatle, merely a three foot long split log with a handle below and a groove on top in which to rest the spear. The launcher is thrust forward and down to send the spear on its' way. No mechanical advantage is gained, in fact much is lost. Hide tanning is covered in about seventy words and the bow and drill in four scant paragraphs...where does he get his information. Not worth the postage.

      Book Description

      Based on the belief that those studying basic or developmental English should be reading, writing, and learning grammar at the same time — rather than separately — this book offers a wide range of materials that meet the multiple needs of basic writers. Three books in one, it provides 1) a comprehensive writing skills text and workbook for developmental English; 2) an anthology of acclaimed reading selections of enduring literary value edited and annotated for basic writers; and 3) a vocabulary builder with vocabulary exercises based on words in the readings. Exposes readers to the classics written by a diverse range of authors -- i.e., works of enduring value by acclaimed authors such as Aesop Shakespeare, Thoreau, Cervantes, and works of modern writers — such as Richard Wright, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Maya Angelou — that are likely to become classics in the future. Utilizes the “double-correction method” — integrated with coverage of the writing and editing process — to give readers an individualized means of learning from past errors. Features two chapters for ESL writers: English Idioms for ESL Writers and Advice for ESL Writers. For anyone wanting solid instruction in basic writing, remedial or developmental English, or English as a Second Language.

      All In One was the first book I used in my first writer's class in college. It clarifies all the little grammar, issues. Not for the average American, more like for ESL students. But it does good to anyone with slight writing, spelling, etc, problems.

          Book Description

          For centuries the Bernese Mountain Dog has served happily as a true friend of man. A peerless draft dog, the "Berner" drew small carts from farm to dairy of the milk so essential to the livelihood of rural Switzerland. At home, these wonderful dogs performed hundreds of vital tasks around the farmstead and provided companionship and protection to the entire family. Today ever increasing numbers of people are discovering the breed's many assets. Truly the Bernese Mountain Dog's time is coming. Some say it is already here.

          In The New Bernese Mountain Dog, you will learn about the breed's origins and trace its path to world recognition. You will study the Standard and gain perspective on the great producers and top winners. You will gain a deep appreciation of the Berner's numerous talents for obedience at many levels and its uncanny ability to relate so well to humans. A special chapter on carting sheds light on this area of breed competition, and important information is included on breeding and health issues of particular concern to the breed. The New Bernese Mountain Dog has something to offer every owner and friend of the breed. If Bernese Mountain Dogs grace your world, The New Bernese Mountain Dog should grace your library and enhance your pleasure in the breed.

          This is a great book for anybody who is considering bringing a Bernese Mountain Dog into their family. There is a variety of information in this book. There is very important health issues discussed & also what this dog must be offered to be happy. Great book by a well respected breeder of this fine breed.

          5 out of 5 stars The Best Bernese Book I have found........2005-06-01

          A book which is oriented towards showing and breeding.
          But knowing what makes a good Bernese can't be bad for any puppy
          purchaser either. This the best book I have found about the Bernese breed and I believe I won't need another on the Bernese now.

          5 out of 5 stars Book for Hardcore Berner Lovers.......2004-02-22

          This is simply one of the best Berner books on the market today for people who want to seriously study this breed.

          This book is written as a comprehensive study on Berners, and includes superb information for breeders and exhibitors.

          Newbies or people who are not hardcore Berner people may want to avoid this book because they'll probably find a lot of the information overwhelming and unnecessary.

          But for people who want a great in-depth perspective on the Bernese Mtn Dog Breed, this book is a MUST HAVE. As a breeder, and as an exhibitor, I use it often as a research resource.

          If you're a newer PET Berner owner, try beginning with a book more geared toward newbies in the breed like Julia Crawford's Owner's Guide to a Healthy, Happy Pet.

          5 out of 5 stars One of the best on Berners.......2002-12-04

          This is one of the best books on Bernese Mountain Dogs. It has terrific information on the history of the breed and physical structure of the dogs. It contains excellent information on health problems which is critical to anyone who owns a Berner.

          This is not a coffee-table book so don't expect color photos. This is not a book about how to train a dog; check out clicker training books instead. This is a book about Bernese Mountain Dogs and is for people who are committed to knowing all they can about the breed.

          2 out of 5 stars Not what I expected.......2002-03-04

          This book has quite a bit of information for those wanting to show their Berner. I am not interested in showing and was quite disappointed. It does not talk a lot about simple pet training or other issues and has only black & white picture. I find the book quite boring and not too practical.

          Book Description

          Nose to Nose is a memoir about healing. Recovering from emergency surgery in a foreign country, Barry Schieber finds himself buying a puppy to bring back to Montana. He had never thought of owning a dog, any dog--let alone one that will soon tip the scales at over a hundred pounds.

          Once home, wherever they go, Moritz draws people to him. Sensing something therapeutic about Moritz, Barry comes upon a way to share this quality with others. So begins their partnership for weekly volunteer visits at a local hospital.

          As this chronicle unfolds, the reader comes to appreciate, with Barry, how a seemingly simple interaction with Moritz leads to healing and to engaging in the lives of others.

          5 out of 5 stars A must-read for dog lovers.......2005-01-23

          Nose to Nose is a reflection of how one beautiful, charismatic Bernese Mountain Dog named Moritz shows a capacity to comfort and distract from human suffering.

          The book chronicles author Schieber's trips with Moritz to visit hospital patients in Missoula, Montana. Patients feel instant rapport with the huge friendly dog and come to life during Moritz's visits. A woman paralyzed on her left side spontaneously hugs Moritz with her left arm. The dog plants his paws on the bed of a moaning three-year-old in a cast and touches noses with the child, who breaks into giggles.

          Thank goodness, Author Schieber doesn't attribute miracle healing to Moritz. But the dog's simple presence provides distraction from illness and brightens the spirit.

          Nose to Nose is an easy read. I finished it in one sitting. For its deceptively simple style, the book offers profound insight. The story is moving without being sentimental. A must for anyone who appreciates the powerful bond between dog and human.

          5 out of 5 stars Heart Warming.......2002-12-19

          This is truly a wonderful and moving book. It made me laugh and cry. If you are a dog owner and lover, you will love this book and relate to it. If you don't own a dog, you will want to adopt one after you read this book. This book, written by Barry Schieber, is written from the heart. I highly recommend this book for people of all ages.

          5 out of 5 stars a beautiful, subtle, and deeply touching book........2002-11-23

          Nose to Nose is a slim volume but within its pages lies a wealth of insight on the human condition and what it takes to understand and appreciate the extraordinary beauty and meaning in what seem to be mundane events. Schieber does not beat you over the head with his observations, rather he lays them gently in front of you, much as his dog Moritz gently lays his head on a childs leg, apparently doing nothing but nevertheless bringing an obviously healing energy with him. Schieber doesn't even ask that you take up his offerings, he just puts them there and leaves it totally up to you. Perhaps it's his Buddhist background at work (he was once Dean of Nyingma Institute in Berkeley, the teaching arm of Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche, one of the first Tibetan Lamas to come to the U.S.), but whatever it is, he succeeds in permeating his book with the same gently penetrating energy that seems to emanate from his pal Moritz. In his End Note, Schieber makes clear the subtlety of Moritz's healing presence and the power of his being. Listing briefly a few of the kinds of experiences he has with Moritz and following each of them with the words "nothing much, " Schieber adds this: "Before long, I am overwhelmed with gratitude to be once again reunited so intimately with life. Thank you, Moritz." And so this book, that also has the ability to reunite us with life, with the incredible beauty of the mundane that slips so quickly by as we look for something more important, more meaningful, more gratifying. Yes, Thank you Moritz, and thank you Barry Schieber for such a peaceful and gentle reminder of how much we miss as we wander often so blindly through this wonderful life. Nose to Nose is the kind of book that you either "get" or you don't, but believe me, its well worth taking the chance.

          2 out of 5 stars great dog, so so book.......2002-10-28

          As an advertisement for the bernese breed, this is great. As a book, it is very superficial. I too have bernese as therapy dogs and have been doing it for years. Mr. Schrieber needs to do more than 12 visits to really get into it. Also, he needs to delve deeper into his feelings. I think it is wonderful that he will travel such a long way to do this work, it is very important work. A little more work on the book would have been good.

          Extremely specific to the Bernese Mountain Dog, I will recommend this book to ALL Berner owners, breeders, and pet lovers. Explains everything and anything you would like to know about the Berner Breed from puppy to adults and also health, dental, travel as well as what to expect from the Berner.
          Well detailed, and excellent photo's.

          1 out of 5 stars Cookie Cutter Book - NOT one I recommend.......2005-03-29

          I bought this book in the hope that it could help a pet Bernese puppy buyer with good information.

          When reading this book, I felt as if the writer just 'filled in the blanks' of some generic puppy buyer information. This book did not deliver anything I'd hoped for. I consider this book to be a waste of my money and time investment.

          I feel there is a much better pet puppy buyer book on the market by Julia Crawford (a longtime Bernese breeder and prior BMDCA President) and the cost is about the same. This better book is called "Bernese Mountain Dog: An Owners Guide to a Happy, Healthy Pet".

          I was very disappointed in this book by Amy Christensen. And I hope she'll try again and do a better job next time.

Now, in this prettiest and wittiest of anthologies, she puts drudgery in its place and elevates the charms of lolling about to new heights.

                  The best word for this book is "charming." It will satisfy anyone who enjoys gardens and fabulous illustrations and quotes. If you are a fan of Laura Stoddart's artwork, then this book is a must have. It is a great not-too-small-not-too-big size, excellent quality, and makes a great conversation piece on the coffee table. You don't have to be a gardener yourself to enjoy Stoddart's charming collection. I live in an 11 story apartment, with no yard of my own, but reading this book makes me feel as though I've taken a trip to the countryside.

                  THE SWEET LIFE is a short book filled with somewhat profound thoughts Laura Stoddart compiled from famous and not-so-famous sources and beautiful illustrations she apparently drew. She thanks her father for the words and her mother for the pictures. Those familiar with A CHILD'S GARDEN OF VERSES might appreciate THE SWEET LIFE as the adult version of a garden of verses.

                  For example, "Who loves a garden, loves a greenhouse too" said William Cowper. Or, these lines by William Cobbett:

                  "How much better, during a long a dreary winter, for daughters, and even sons, to assist, or attend, their mother in the greenhouse, than to be seated with her at cards, or, in the blubbering over a stupid novel, or at any other amusement that can possibly be conceived!"

                  This is the sort of book I like to take with me to the privvy chamber where I meditate daily, or give to others as a little gift from the heart.

                      Book Description

                      This work challenges recent critical assessments that emphasize the allegedly subversive elements in Euripides' play. The Orestes is found to present a curious melange of early and late Euripidean features, resulting in a drama where the tragic potential of Orestes' predicament becomes lost amid the moral, political and situational chaos that dominates the late Euripidean stage. Throughout, emphasis is placed on reading the Orestes in light of Greek stage conventions and the poet's own practice. Of particular interest are: an original examination, in light of Greek rhetorical practice, of Orestes' agon with Tyndareus; and analysis of the Phrygian's monody as a cunning hybrid of Timothean nome and traditional messenger speech; and a re-evaluation of the play's troubling deus ex machina.

                        Book Description

                        Orestes, produced in 408 BC towards the end of Euripides' life, was one of the most popular Greek tragedies in antiquity, and was consequently preserved in a large number of medieval manuscripts. Having investigated about sixty of the most important, James Diggle explains the complicated relationships which exist among them. He also examines afresh the contribution of the papyri and quotations which preserve parts of the play. In the course of these analyses he throws much light on problems of text and interpretation, on metre, and on the activities of Byzantine scholars. This examination of Orestes is the last major task in the completion of the study of the Euripidean manuscript tradition. As such it will be indispensable to all students of the transmission of Greek tragedy.

                          Celebrated for its dramatic ingenuity, Euripides's earlier version of the myth that Aeschylus made famous has not been revised in English since 1895. Popular in antiquity and important in the development of classical Greek tragedy, this play is now offered in an expanded edition, which
                          includes a detailed discussion of lyric meter and a consideration of many textual changes.
