    Book Description

    This book raises many interrelated important issues in life and tries to clarify the spiritual facts and to tie the loose ends, according to the wisdom of Divine Love. The good news about Lord Christ Jesus being a vegan (a strict vegetarian), for Biblical reasons is expounded in this book so all nations can immediately convert to the Christian vegan religion of heaven; for the sake of God's Justice that must be served on earth. The book indeed is a must read for all people because the entire creation including mankind has only one Savior to understand, obey, learn from and follow in order to do God's will, to be justified of sins and to see the Kingdom of God in righteousness. Since science also belongs to Christianity and this true faith is about universal redemption, the pages of this book discuss in detail the interests, the well-beings and the freedom of all creatures. The main points discussed in here, from the Christian vegan perspectives are: why mankind should live to honor God, about the universally abiding laws given us by the supreme Creator, the Christian justice, the importance of Church unity, nutrition, balanced diet and related issues. The pages loudly echo the spirituality of animals and the normal feelings of all that live; encouraging mankind to choose environmentally friendly products and services instead of animal products or animal services. Every violent sport and entertainment that involves animals is denounced together with the modern day idolatry and animal slavery; urging God fearing people to actively love and defend all animals and the universe in the Holy Name of Christ Jesus now and always. The goal of the book is to help the entire human race grasp the urgency of the animal right issue so all can repent together, start to pray unceasingly, watch and work in order to heal the damaged environments spiritually also work to restore world peace, order, equality among the earthly dwellers and lasting harmony. This book is indispensable for

    5 out of 5 stars Connects language functions to grammar.......1999-07-31

    This book is great. It does a lot to bridge the gap between teaching grammar and pragmatics (or language functions).

    It goes beyond the decontextualized grammar that most grammar books provide and describes how the peculiarities and idiosyncracies of nine difficult areas of English grammar can be explained to students. The areas include articles, tense and aspect, modals, conditionals, prepositions and particles, indirect objects, infinitives and gerunds, relative clauses, and direct and indirect speech. The "Teaching Ideas" section at the end of each chapter connects grammar up with classroom activities, both the usual grammar worksheet type of activity and the interactive-communicative type.

    It would have been nice if the book provided more ways to connect specific types of communicative activities with specific points of grammar, but I've been able to use this book to understand how the communicative activities I use regularly contain implicit grammar practice.

                      4 out of 5 stars A little heady, but a good book on the subject.......2004-04-02

                      I'd been looking around for a fairly comprehensive work on Playng Card history, and found this a pretty good choice. A bit wordy and heady at times, but covers things well.

                      4 out of 5 stars informative but dry.......2002-01-31

                      First, an important note: There seems to be 2 versions of this book floating around. One with 16 color plates and one that is all B&W. I learned this when I received mine and found that it was all B&W. Be sure you know which you are getting.
                      Also, many of the b&w images appear to be poor photocopies, either far too light or too dark.

                      This book is no doubt the authority. It is very well researched. But the way it is organized is rather dull. Each chapter basically lists and briefly discusses all the cards that were found from that particular country. It might have been more interesting if there was more discussion of how the different suites evolved or how the countries influenced each other.

                      4 out of 5 stars Playing Cards Historically.......2000-03-29

                      This book is a well-researched, thorough and informative guide to the history of playing cards. I was especially interested in the medieval information, but found the entire work clear and easy to follow, while keeping up high standards of academic quality. I would recommend this work to anyone seriously interested in the history of the field. The Plates were also very helpful in illustrating the development and styles of cards through the centuries.

                              5 out of 5 stars Great book.......2002-01-07

                              A cracking book on these unmistakeable dogs. Loads of great photos and crammed full of information. I just can't resist their funny squished up little faces. Even my wife loved the book, and she is unnerved at our young puppy's resemblance to her best friend's father who was a sex-offender. But the little fellow just cracks me up with his baby slobber-chops.

                              5 out of 5 stars Very useful, a necessary addition to any breeder's library.......1999-10-29

                              We breed French Bulldogs, but as there are no decent books in print on the breed, this is the next best thing. I don't think I could have successfully raised our first two litters without its step by step instructions. VERY useful for anyone who wants to take an active role in their dog's litter, regardless of breed. It will most certainly reduce your mortality rate.

                              5 out of 5 stars This is the most informative and accurate book I've owned........1999-06-12

                              I highly recommend this book all the time to people interested in buying a bulldog puppy or raising a litter. It is a storehouse of info. on the Bulldog. I literally have hundreds of books and this is my favorite on the Bulldog. It also has a lot of pictures of Bulldogs. You'd be suprised you might just find some pics of your Bulldogs relatives.

                              3 out of 5 stars Great for beginners.......2001-12-27

                              If you know nothing about clocks and want to learn more before you seriously invest time and money, this is not a bad reference. Ignore the title (it was published in 1985!) and most probably worthless as a price guide...and unless you are from California and can't read...it only covers "American" made clocks. It's an easy reference and somewhat informative...for beginners.

                              1 out of 5 stars Don't........2000-09-22

                              I must of clicked on the wrong book. What good is a price guide to 1985 prices if it gives you nothing more than the price?! That's all you get here. Save your money and put it toward a clock!

                              Book Description

                              Many common native trees are just as beautiful as cultivated exotics. Since they have evolved with local conditions and are well adapted to their climate, they often require less maintenance and won't escape to invade a balanced ecosystem. The authors' extensive horticultural knowledge is distilled in this comprehensive cross section of trees native to North America, from the Atlantic to the Rockies and from northern Canada to the Gulf Coast. The main section of the book is divided into tree profiles, each describing flowers and fruit, native and adaptive range, culture, and problems. The authors also list the best seasonal features — whether a tree has striking bark in winter, for example, or bright fruit in fall. In all, more than 650 species and varieties, and more than 500 cultivars, are discussed.

                              Guy Sternberg and Jim Wilson's Native Trees For North American Landscapes represents a lifetime of research and work: the authors provide an in-depth technical catalog of detail on native trees and their environments, providing tree 'profiles' which describe flowers, fruit, plant ranges, and culture. Sections outlining best seasonal features are particularly useful, telling gardeners which plants are showiest per season. Stunning photos and outlines of common cultivation problems and solutions make Native Trees For North American Landscapes a solid, invaluable reference for landscapers, libraries and home gardens alike.

                              5 out of 5 stars A Garden Book Classic.......2004-03-17

                              I am a plant freak, and I am a gardening book freak. I have many, many books, probably too many. Literally. So many books that I've bought that looked interesting at the store have wound up sitting on the shelf, never to be opened again. This is one that will never even get to the shelf.

                              This book is so comprehensive, so informative, so beautiful to look at, and so danged readable that I find myself seeking it out whenever I've got a free moment. How many gardening books have you bought lately that poured forth all the information you could possibly want? How many have you bought lately that were a lot of fun to read? Now, how many can you name that do both at the same time? A precious few, but this one does.

                              Timber Press celebrated their 25th Anniversary this past year, and I did something I never do, I wrote the company a letter. In essence, what I said was this, "I never mind buying a Timber Press Book, often sight unseen, because I know it will be good." This book is excellent, even by Timber Press standards.

                              If you have any interest in trees or gardening, you will find this book a "must have." Informative, enjoyable, beautiful. What else could you want?

                              5 out of 5 stars This will become a premier reference on woody plants.............2004-03-17

                              This outstanding new book will become one of the primary references for all kinds of information about native woody plants of North America. Many of the plant descriptions have far more detailed information on culture, diseases, and ornamental characteristics than the widely known reference books by Michael Dirr (the 'standards' by which all other woody plant references are judged). While the intent is to provide information and promote the ornamental characteristics of native woody plants, for home gardeners and landscape professionals, this will also prove to be a valuble reference for naturalists and others mainly interested in these plants in the native, rather than the cultivated, landscape. The photographs are outstanding, and will certainly promote interest in many little known and underutilized woody plants. I never knew there were so many native North American oaks! As a botanist and later home gardener with a life-long interest in woody plants, there are few books in the past decade which have been published with this level of detail and value.

                              5 out of 5 stars Outstanding book for tree lovers and everyone else, too!.......2004-03-16

                              Guy and Jim have done it again!

                              I have one of Guy and Jim's other books: Landscaping with Native Trees and I am so excited to finally have their new book: Native Trees for North American Landscapes.

                              This book is well written and is written in a style that both the plant-person and the novice gardener can easily understand and appreciate.

                              Guy and Jim provide a breakdown for each of the trees listed in the book. This is a listing of the information given for each tree:

                              -Description (includes size)
                              -Leaves
                              -Flower and Fruit OR Cones and Seeds
                              -Best Season
                              -Native and Adaptive Range
                              -Culture
                              -Problems
                              -Cultivars
                              -Similar and Related Species
                              -Comments

                              The above information makes it very easy for anyone to decide whether a particular tree is suitable for their site (and USDA growing zone) and how they want to use the tree, whether it be as a specimen, screen, etc.

                              I read Ben Johnson's review of this book and I don't quite understand his vendetta against Guy and Jim and this book.

                              Ben had (has) some problems with some of the technical words that Guy and Jim have used periodically through the text. Ben must not be able to use the glossary that is included in the back of the book because all of the words that he has a problem with are included there along with their definitions. Don't be frightened by Ben's fear of new words. If you find a word that you are not familiar with, then check the glossary in the back of the book for the definition - it's that easy. It's how we learn.

                              After reading Ben's review of this book it is clear that he is not really reviewing the book so much as trying to attack Guy's character. This is not the place for that sort of thing.

                              I, too, frequent the forums on GardenWeb and I have found Guy to be very generous with his advise and help. I read the thread on GardenWeb regarding the removal of a tree because of a problem with the birds pooping on vehicles and, again, Ben has twisted and taken words out-of-context to attack Guy. I have never met Guy in person, but I have the utmost respect for Guy because of all of the help I have received from him through the forums on GardenWeb.

                              If you want help sorting out which native trees you might want to include in your landscape or you simply want to learn more about the wonderful native trees that grow in this great country of ours, then this is the book for you!

                              Guy and Jim have written this book about native trees because of their love for our native trees and to get people to, hopefully, include some native trees in their home landscapes.

                              The photography in the book is outstanding, too.
                              You will not be disappointed if you purchase this book.
