Customer Reviews:
Very entertaining.......2007-02-11
Not a lot to read but entertaining non the less. Awsome trophy rooms; alot of them from times when there were less hunting restrictions and less animals on the endangered list. Great coffee table book. I will be ordering the rest of the series in the future.
Wonderful collections.......2006-09-25
Just the right book for any hunter. My only complaint is the sections on English manor homes seemed a little disjointed.
Very nice trophy book!.......2006-06-30
A well written book with good and many pictures. A super book for any trophy hunter!
Excellent Trophy Room Book.......2006-02-19
This series is an excellent designed series of photos of trophy rooms from around the world. These make an excellent addition to our trophy room coffee table. They are well made and interesting to look at. The pictures are good and the book takes the wear and tear of repeated use. I would recommend this serie to anyone interested in viewing interesting trophy room layouts and mounts of some of the worlds experienced hunters, most of whom have had the honor of hunting worldwide.
Great Trophy Rooms.......2000-01-13
After finishing my African Safari, I was given a copy of this book by a South African taxidermist. The book's pictures are so vivid and life-like. The thoroughness of the book is astounding. You almost feel as if you have visited the private collections of many great hunters! A must read for anyone who loves trophy rooms. Also will aide in some ideas for a trophy room of your own. Should be added to everyone's collection.

Release Date: 1991-08-27 |
Book Description
For more than twenty years this pioneering work had served as a bible for herbalists throughout the world. It is an illustrated encyclopedic guide to more than two hundred medicinal plants found in North America, with descriptions of each plant's appearance and uses, and directions for methods of use and dosage. Native American traditions are compared with traditional uses of the same plants among other cultures where the science of herbs has flourished, particularly in Russia and China. Included is an annotated bibliography of pertinent books and periodicals.

A must read for anyone who loves herbs.......2005-11-25
Ms. Hutchens has put together an amazing collection of herbal uses from the First Nations. This is one book that should be on the bookshelf of every budding herbalist.
Why can't the editor spell?.......2005-03-16
This book gets serious stars taken off for unprofessionalism. It's one thing if the author can't spell, but her editor is supposed to catch her errors. This important practice can't hope to be taken seriously if the editor couldn't even spell the title of the book. The correct spelling is "herbology" and means the study of herbs. Geez.
Cross-cultural Herbal Guide.......2001-11-25
Indian Herbalogy of North America by Alma R. Hutchens is a helpful reference book for those desiring a greater understanding of cross-cultural applications of herbs. The title is somewhat misleading because though there is an emphasis on Native American herbalism there is also a great deal of information regarding Russian herbology and folklore.
Informative, but not at all what I expected.......2001-08-19
Growing up in the way-out country of Missouri, I spent a lot of time outside in the woods, getting to know the different plants and animals that live there. This eventually gave rise to an interest in natural medicine, and in harvesting and preparing my own herbs from the property I lived on. All the texts I could find, though, were based in the plants and knowledge indigenous to either Europe or Asia. I was delighted to come on a copy of Alma Hutchens' _Indian Herbalogy of North America_ a couple years back, thinking it would be a catalog of the plants I found growing in my own back yard, and throughout the back roads of America that I love to explore. However, the book has quite a bit of information about the herbal medicine of other cultures (Russia, Western Europe, and China, in particular), so much that it crowds the Indian lore out--which, of course, was what I really wanted. It's not a bad book, in general terms, and would make a pretty solid kernel for a new collection of herbal medicine books, but I don't recommend this as a resource for people interested specifically in Native American treatment of disease or use of herbs for health maintenance.
The best reference for how to actually make these potions.......1999-02-04
This book is indexed by plants and by diseases. It gives descriptions of habitat so you can go and find them in the wild. It is the only book i have read to date that actually tells how to make the ointments or tea and a history of how it has been used in many cultures. It gives side effects and wonderful detailed plant sketches. Easy to read
Book Description
Combining precise technical drawing with unique and imaginative mechanized creations can be a difficult skill to master. In this volume, some of today's best technical manga artists reduce the seemingly meticulous task of drawing mechs to an easy skill that you too can master. Sharing their tricks and tips for drawing Japanese-style mechanical constructs, this volume will prove that You Can Draw Mecha!
Customer Reviews:
One of, if not THE best!.......2004-12-13
Sherard Jackson returns with his second foray into the realm of home manga illustration books. His first volume, "You Can Draw Transforming Robots", was one of the finest English-language How-to-Draw mecha books I had ever seen. Somehow, Mr. Jackson has managed to outdo himself in this sophomore work. Various mecha styles in the "Eastern" school of mecha design are represented. Influences from Transformers, Kawamori's Armored Core designs, Zoids, Evangelion, and even Zone of the Enders are present. Naturally, some Gundam-esque examples are also in the book. Jackson's designs from his own work, "Assembly" add to the roster.
Despite the presence of easily recognizable styles, Jackson instructs the reader on how to find inspiration, instead of simply hashing out how to copy someone else's style. Medieval armor, historical weaponry, animals, and human anatomy are presented as sparks for the imagination. Jackson's a teacher who gives the "how-to", but also shows actual design and illustrating savvy that backs up his lessons. Illustrations display his gift for technically detailed mecha with lots of personality.
This book de-emphasizes the "how to draw" and emphasizes the "draw mecha". Those who need the very basics should start with a more basic primer, as the book assumes the reader has some drawing experience. However, those who need more advanced lessons on mecha design and rendering dynamic images of mecha will not be disappointed.
Book Description
At last, a book about your pet that emphasizes total care, training and companionship!
You'll not only learn about the species-specific traits of your special pet, you'll also learn what the world's like from your pet's perspective; how to feed, groom and keep your pet healthy; and how to enjoy your pet through training and activities you can do together.
The West Highland White Terrier is written by a breed expert and includes a special chapter on training by Dr. Ian Dunbar, internationally renowned animal behaviorist, and chapters on getting active with your dog by long-time Dog Fancy magazine columnist Bardi McLennan. Best of all, the book is filled with info-packed sidebars and fun facts to make caring for your pet easy and enjoyable.
Customer Reviews:
not the best but far from bad...........2000-05-14
This is a quick overview of this loveable little breed. Not detailed of course, but the author does point out the downside of "Westies" as well... to wit: they are terriers meaning that a) they bark (boy do they ever! Our westie has a bark a Great Dane would be proud of), b) terriers dig and c)they are hunters and won't be able to tell the differnce between the mouse or squirrel outside and the family's pet hamster. Despite these so called flaws (in other words, don't blame your westie for being a westie)these dogs make wonderful pets and the authors love and respect for this breed shows on every page.The book offers good advice on caring for a West Highland White, as well as training one,(the training part written by another author) Maybe not worth 13 bucks, but still a worthwhile read for the owner of one of these dogs. As the author points out, the AKC breed standard has the perfect one line description of these wonderful little dogs: "...possessed of no small amount of self-esteem"
pretty pictures, some good points but not very well written.......1999-04-04
The book was a very basic, somewhat helpful book on the breed. It had some beautiful pictures of Westies. It was certainly pleasant reading but not very detailed.
Good overall book, nice pictures.......1999-03-13
I enjoyed the book and read it quickly. The one problem I saw at the beginning was that there was a lot of repetition of the AKC standard and his explination of that standard. I bought the book from a pet store and paid full price. Not worth $13.
An excellent summary of the breed, characteristics, and care.......1999-01-06
A very readable, down to earth guide to the breed. The author describes the 'Westie's' characteristics, while giving some insight into the background of the breed and the reasons for those traits. It covers the breed standards (however somewhat generally), and deals with the practicalities of bringing home a brand new "Westie" puppy for the first time. Well written, by an author who obviously loves the breed, and conveys part of that love to the reader. I had trouble putting it down.
Book Description
Christmas advertising, games, puzzles, figurines, candy containers, and candy molds are a few of the new areas of collecting that are explored in this book. Never before treated in great detail, these collectibles are here illustrated, historically detailed, and explained. In addition, there is a major emphasis upon ornaments that have not been dealt with in other books such as Italian figurals. West and East German figurals, and other European glass ornaments. Dresden, cotton, wax, wood, metal, paper, and glass ornaments are covered, each with new discoveries of information and detail since the publication of his first book, Christmas Past. Over 1000 different Christmas decorations and collectibles from the very rare to the very common are illustrated in full color with a newly revised simple-to-use price guide at the end.
