An excellent book for beginner trappers and pro's alike........1999-03-06

N.T.A.'s Trapping Handbook is an excellent illistrated guide for those who would like to know more about trapping. The sections on individual animal species and behaviors give the inexperienced trapper valuable information, and professionals may find a few new tricks that could improve their catch. The handbook is an exceptional reference book that should be in every trappers library.

A great book for all who want to learn how to trap........1999-02-07

I was fortunate to have someone show me the trade of Fur Trapping, and the NTA is giving the modern/new trapper the edge to get off to the right start if they do not have anyone to show them. I purchaced the book when it first came out thru the NTA and I still use it every year all season long. I have been trapping for 26 years now. Ed Collins

Easy to read beginners guide to N American trapping........1998-09-14

Explains all the basics of trapping including ethical and legal considerations. Describes techniques for common N American animals, (Beaver, Coyote, Racoon, Muskrat, etc). I found it very useful to start with but I had to get more detailed descriptions elsewhere to clarify some points.

Can't go wrong.......2005-10-23

Rick Steves has never failed me and I thoroughly enjoy his views and what he feels is not to be missed. You can never go wrong with a Rick Steves book. I do, however, always companion his books with a Frommers guide book and then I feel like I get the complete story of a city or country.

It really is the "Best of Eastern Europe".......2005-08-15

I recently went on a 3-week backpacking tour of Central and Eastern Europe, using Rick Steves' book as my primary guide. Although I did use a few country-specific books, I found that this one book had virtually all the information I needed. After reading through this book, I planned my itinerary based heavily on Steves' recommendations--Prague, Cesky Krumlov, Krakow, Eger, Budapest, Ljubljana, Bled, and Vienna.
I've found that many travel guides cover the same places, but Steves suggested visits to places I would not have been able to find otherwise, such as the Roman Ruins in Obouda (near Budapest).
The book is well organized--each country's section begins with basic information about that country, such as language, currency, entrance requirements, etc. Within the country section, Steves has selected the best places to visit and provides detailed information about each. He tells you how to use the public transportation systems, what to do when you arrive at the airport, trainstation, bus station, etc.
I was very pleased with this book, and ran into several other travelers using the same guide. If you are interested in seeing Eastern Europe as more of a local than a tourist, this is the perfect guide. It's also updated every year, so almost all of the information was correct.

I thought I was buying a puzzlebook. I did not read the title correctly. This would be fine as a freebie online, but for $8.00 it is a rip off.

My newly svelte dog.......2005-09-18

The first time I met a dog on a diet, twenty or so years ago, I felt nothing but pity for the poor thing and scorn for its owner. How dare she enforce human standards on her sweet, good-natured lab? Sure, he was a little barrel-waisted, but so what? Let the dog be free!

That was twenty years ago when I was a young pup myself and hated society's pressure on me to be thin. I have a bit more perspective now. I also have a dachshund. I've read that dachshunds are prone to back problems as they get older, and that excess fat aggravates this unhappy condition.

But it's so easy to slip him a little extra dog food or drop a bit of my dinner into his dish after I eat. He loves people food. He also loves training snacks, and the mini-treats in the car, and the food stuffed into his kong to keep him busy when left alone.

He began to expand. I knew I had to take steps. To paraphrase that notorious radio psychologist, Dr. Laura, "I am my dog's owner." I bought this book to help me be a better guardian of my pooch's girth.

It's a very nutritious book! My favorite tidbit is how to know if your dog is really fat of just, ahem, "big-boned." And I also know how much food to feel my dog, and how to read dog food labels. No more dumping food in his dish according to how hungry he looks or how especially fond I am of him at that moment. I guess one of the things I need pounding into my head is that overfeeding is not the same as love. If I want my dog to live long and prosper, I'd better control his diet and give him enough exercise. The author gives lots of ideas on exercise for all kinds of different types of households. Just do it! It matters.

Halfway through the book, there's a startling picture of a fat daschshund with my dog's face and coloring but a lot more pudge. I look at my dog and see his still boundless energy and healthy spine, and I know that picture is what I want to avoid.

I'd like more discussion of different theories of nutrition, because a perusal of the Internet discloses fierce argument over this point, and it seems hard to figure out. But so is human nutrition.

Straightforward and sensible.......2005-09-14

This book is exactly what it advertises itself as - simple. But that does not stop it from being a very valuable source of information on ways to improve your dog's life. There are no high-tech, high-expense suggestions for how to treat your dog just like Paris Hilton treats Tinkerbelle. Instead, Ms. Garvey uses a straightforward approach, giving detailed and specific information on how to improve your dog's general living habits, from diet to exercise and much, much more.

If you are looking for the new Atkins diet for your dog, steer clear. But if you want to help your dog improve his or her overall health for, as the title says, "a long and happy life," you should absolutely buy this book.

A portion of this book's proceeds will be donated to pet rescue in the Hurricane Katrina area.......2005-09-09

I am the author, and I hope you like this book. I was inspired to write both My Fat Dog and My Fat Cat because I had a fat dog, and I know, first hand, how easy it is to overfeed and underexercise your pet...and how it can affect your pet's health and life span. (Our dog is now 12 pounds lighter and lots healthier.) I tried to make the book fun to read, and offer a lot of ways to get your pet started on the road to good health. It can be done, and I want to help. Please visit me on the web at http://www.myfatdogbook.com, and share your stories.

But I also want to tell you that I will be donating a portion of books' proceeds to organizations involved in rescuing and sheltering pets in the devastated Gulf Coast area. Every little bit helps.

Obesity isn't pretty, even in the family pet........2005-09-14

In this day and age, news about the obesity crisis is everywhere. Americans are fatter than ever, and we know it. But what about the family cat? What makes his or her little weight issue less important?

Ms. Garvey addresses this topic in My Fat Cat. Do you know how to tell if your cat is overweight? Or how to ensure that your cat lives a healthy life? If not, you would be doing your furry friend a service by reading this book. Garvey's clear, straightforward advice on improving your pet's diet and exercise routines and plenty more make this book a must-own for any cat-lover whose cat has a bit of a paunch (or more).

You've probably been on a diet yourself at some point in the past year. You try to eat right, stay active, and generally live a healthy life. So why not seek the same for your cat? The way is simple, and Ms. Garvey's book is a great way to find it.

Book Description

This book adds more than 750 color photos to the record of materials on Noritake collectibles presented in Spain's 1997 book on this subject-a work with more than 1,200 color photos. This book, like the previous one, is comprehensive. It covers non-dinnerware porcelains made by the Noritake Company between about 1908 and the 1970s. The emphasis, however, is on the 1920s and works with Art Deco characteristics. The backstamp materials have been expanded, updated, and made very user-friendly. In addition, there is a substantial and thought-provoking essay on the historical and cultural roots of Art Deco, in general, along with a thorough discussion of the distinguishing features of Art Deco Noritake fancy line porcelains of the 1920s.

A must-read for anyone who loves eye candy!.......1999-06-04

This amazing "Book 2" companion to David Spain's "Noritake Collectibles, A to Z : A Pictorial Record & Guide to Values" is truly a great piece of work. As if the first book were not stunning and wonderful enough, with it's easy, breezy organization and thoroughly impressive pictures numbering over 1000, this second one wows audiences yet again with it's amazingly clever organization and truly beautiful pictures, many taken (as in the first book) by the author himself. Quite the icing on the cake. Spain's writing genius shines through.

Animal pests to Wildflowers.......2002-03-28

This book is a handy companion come spring time and it is prep time for your yard. There are many useful ideas, some not exactly practical , like a "handy" cart that looks like one of those golf carts(but made of wood)to haul your gardening tools and supplies around the yard, but there are enough to make this book worth your time. Myself I just use a 5 gallon bucket to haul around my most used tools. Good ideas often spawn new insights leading to one's own ideas which can be better or more suited for one's needs, thus is the case with this book. The book has illustrations to compliment the ideas which are often tips offered from real gardeners. My feeling is if one can pull a few time saving ideas from a season of chores it is time well spent resting in the shade between jobs browsing this book. Browsing is the right word because it is a book that can be read in sections according to needs. There are suggestions for low maintenance plants that are proven to minimize time spent caring for, including annuals that replant themselves, and perrenials that just keep on giving and suggestions for problem areas. This book is a reference source that will give you a quick fix for problems that come with maintaining a yard. One of the beauties of this book is the use of seemingly unrelated materials for the yard, like 2-liter bottles with holes burried in the vegetable garden for concise watering near each plants to keep weeds down. I have read many Rondale Press garden books and this one rates right up with the best of them. Recommended for practical gardeners who like "new" ideas that work.

concise, well organized info for the typical garden.......1999-09-22

This well organized volume provides concise, easily accessible info on specific plants for the average garden as well as suggestions for mixing varieties into complementary gardens. Definately a must have for a serious gardener as a reference volume for a garden library.

Book Description

This book is a facsimile of the original Russian first edition, which was published in 1922.

A masterpiece of ideological simplicity it presents El Lissitzky's political-didactic attempt to teach children mathematics using a puzzle in which the red square always overcomes the black. This is a prime example of where modern typography began. Lissitky's playful approach attracted the eye and made the viewer want to read.

As Max Bill commented, typography is a game that leads to communication, and it all began with Lissitzky's tale of two squares.

Book Description

The American marketplace is rapidly diversifying as Asians, Blacks, Hispanics, and Native Americans gain in number and in market clout. The author, a nationally recognized demographer, has used her expertise to bring you the numbers, complemented by her insightful analysis in which she compares and contrasts, where possible, by age and over time. You also get percent distribution, percentage point change, and other calculations that show you the patterns and--most importantly--save you time.
