California's Coastal Communities: Coronado to Crescent City.......2007-07-01

Although the book has the word "driving" in the title, it really is not a road guide to California's Pacific Coast. Instead, this nice little travel book covers smaller coastal communities where one can visit for a weekend and take a break from the hustle and bustle of life. Of the many towns listed, only San Diego is a large metropolitan area. For the most part, readers are treated to towns such as San Clemente, Laguna Beach, Pismo Beach, Monterey, and numerous smaller communities like Shelter Cove, Bodega Head, and Trinidad.

On the whole, this is a decent little guidebook. Each destination is given a page or two describing the area, a list of lodging and campgrounds, diners and fine restaurants, and descriptions of nearby beaches and parks. Local activities and festivals are also listed for each location and rough price guides are given to help budget for the trip. I would like to have seen more attention given to state parks and beaches, and a little more natural history and photographs. But this guide does what it sets out to do and I will use it as a resource on my next trip along the coast.

Book Description

This brand-new workbook makes a fine supplementary classroom text for high school and college-level courses in Spanish. Filled with exercises designed to improve students' fluency in speaking, understanding, and writing Spanish, this book's focus is on verbs and correct verb usage, with separate chapters for each tense—present, "gustar"-type verbs and present progressive, imperfect and imperfect progressive, present perfect indicative, pluperfect indicative, future, future perfect, conditional, conditional perfect, present subjunctive, imperfect subjunctive, present perfect subjunctive, pluperfect subjunctive, commands, passive voice, and non-finite verb forms. Verbs are presented with fundamental conjugation information and illustrative dialogues. The exemplary verb forms are shown in contrasting typeface to help readers understand the verb formation process. Additional learning features include crossword puzzles, notes on verb usage, and the use of object pronouns with verbs. The book's type is set in two colors.

Spanish Verb Workbook.......2007-04-17

This book is extremely helpful for students learning Spanish because they are not just learning the verbs by memorizing them, they are doing exercises and it gives them the ending formula.

Helpful for review or self-teaching........2006-11-10

This book offers short lessons on each of the verb tenses in Spanish. After each lesson there is a worksheet where the student can practice that skill. The best part is that the answers are given at the back of the book so that the student can instantly assess whether that skill has been mastered.

Must have for the early learning stage.......2007-01-16

This is essential reading for any new spanish speaker. Before you can advance beyond the basics, you need to understand the formulas used for all the verbs. These are covered for the first 20 pages, and it takes alot of reviewing. After that, you have some 500 verbs and their uses, and conjugations. Very handy stuff.

spanish verb handbook.......2002-05-17

Excellent book for serious students of Spanish, as it lays out all the verbs and in an orderly fashion. However, you need to be a good enought student to know what the tenses mean, as there is no English equivalent given for the Spanish. Good teaching tool.

Poor.......2001-09-14

Berlitz publishs "Spanish Verb Handbook "
and "Spanish Grammar Handbook " .
Beware : The exact same text is used for about 50 % of each of these titles . A very crude 'marketing' effort by Berlitz .
Of the two , I like the "Spanish Verb Handbook" better . My mistake was to buy both . Then I found out how much I had been cheated ! All the material in both books would fill one modest title .
Berlitz = bad value .

After being forced to purchase 3-4 guides a year to be able to cover the entire spectrum of sets issued, I ordered this guide expecting more of the same. What I received was the MOST COMPLETE LISTING of baseball card sets I ever dreamed of. Not only all the sets but a photo showing a typical card per set, a bio of each set, and pricing of each and every card. Unbelieveable. GOD BLESS YOU, BOB LEMKE.

For busy gardeners, the prospect of continually dragging out hoses to water the garden can be a real disincentive to gardening. Often, the installation of an irrigation system appropriate to the needs of the garden can be a huge time and energy saver, and provide the appropriate and timely water that all plants need in differing amounts at different times. Starting with "The Basics of Home Irrigation," readers will learn if an irrigation system is appropriate for their needs and which one (or combination of systems) works best. Next, "Getting Started" discusses which kinds of systems can be installed and how they work. The final section of the book is "Using and Repairing an Irrigation System."

Just about everything one needs to know is included here: troubleshooting and problem solving, customizing designs for an irrigation system, buying guides to components, and thorough, well-diagrammed how-to instructions made clear by helpful color photographs and detailed diagrams. --Mark A. Hetts

Book Description

Outlines irrigation options available to homeowners—from fully automated sprinklers for a large yard to simple manual drip systems for balcony plants.

Explains sprinkler systems and how to install them.

Includes a section on maintenance and repairs.

Good Starter Text.......2006-04-11

I've never done any irrigation work until recently. So I took a one day course from a pro and bought this book. Since a one day course can't cover all contingencies, I found that this book filled in a lot of gaps. My interest has mainly been in drip systems, not sprinklers. I now have a good working knowledge and sound like less of a fool when I order stuff from experts.

BTW, I think with this book and all the free specialized information on the Internet, most folks don't have to go much further to study the subject.

Does not tell how to install a sprinkler system........2005-06-08

Far too basic. If you want a glossy introduction to sprinklers, but have no plans to actually install a system, this is the book for you.

If you want to install a sprinkler system, there are maybe 5 pages of useful information in this book, and not near enough detail to actually break ground. Find another source of information.

A Pretty Good Basic Book.......2002-11-24

Just like most fields, irrigation is evolving quickly as regards new materials, products and standards. Overall, I feel the Ortho book gives good solid information for a do - it - yourselfer. There was no "BAD" information per se, and it does demystify the home irrigation system. You can save a lot of money installing your own system. You can also cause a lot of damage doing it incorrectly. This book can give you a good idea whether you can tackle installing a system or not. Use this book along with careful planning, to know what questions to ask either a sprinkler supply distributor or to hire an irrigation contractor.

overall good coverage, could have been more detailed.......2002-09-05

Book does a pretty good job at hitting all the points in planning and installing your irrigation system. Installing a system kind of feels like a major undertaking at first, but after reading the book I feel pretty comfortable about it (although I've only begun my installation, guess we'll see if things stay nice and comfy). I liked some of the side points in the book where it went into a little more detail about certain aspects of the job, however, in other areas I felt there should have been more detail. Book seemed like it might be a little dated as a few topics seemed to stick with more old-school standards (e.g., poly-pipe is now used in many new areas to hook-up from the meter to the house, but the book assumed that you would only find copper, galvenized steel, or PVC (stiff white) pipe for this application). I also think a book like this should provide as many "common mistakes" as possible, this books only has a few.

Although my gut feeling says 3 stars, I have to upgrade to 4 because there isn't that many books our there like this one and relative to those it seems to be a winner.

A little to basic.......2001-07-04

Although I am stating that this book is a little to basic, maybe what I was looking for was just more then this book was intended to deliver. I was looking for a book to help calculate how many zones were needed, what type of sprinkler heads, etc. This book had great photographs and basic knowledge. If you are ready to design and install your own system you might want a more detailed book.
