A wonderful resource!.......2007-10-01

We visited Maui one month ago to spend time with my sister in law who lives out there (lucky girl!). We found this book to be invaluable and think it should be standard issue to everyone who visits the island. We had a couple of problems with it but on the whole it was worth the money :)

fantastic guides - the best I have read on Hawaii islands.......2007-09-24

Goes WAY beyond your average guide book. I lived in Hawaii for a year and felt like a local thanks to this book (and the series of books for the various Hawaiian islands). No need to carry several guide books to Hawaii - this is all you need. And the online information (which you receive by purchasing a book and getting a special password) gives you even more information on housing, restaurants, etc. and keeps the info in the book fresh and up to date. Cant recommend enough. Mahalo!

Very informative book.......2007-09-13

This book has a lot of very interesting information. It give descriptions of all of the places I am anxious to visit. It also allows you to go online and read the reviews on all of the lodging on Maui. I have used those reviews to find a place for us to stay. I can't wait to get to Maui to check it out.

Really nice, concise descriptions.......2007-08-31

I really felt I could trust this book, as, having been to Maui a few times, I could compare my feelings against the commentary included. They're right on 100% of the time. Great tips and direct reviews.

Excellent book and well worth purchasing.......2007-08-15

This guide book was perfect with one exception and that was a terrible kabob restaurant in Lahaina. Every other recommendation/write up was exact. We stayed at Prince Maui which was wonderful. The beach was crystal clear in the morning. We saw a couple of sea turtles and I saw an octopus while snorkeling. While we stayed in South Maui, we spent a lot of time in Lahaina. Where we stayed it was quiet and beautiful and my kids (18 & 14) loved it. For surfing, Goofy Foot Surfin School was EXCELLENT. My kids were up on the first time and the guys that work there were very nice and patient. I can not say enough good things about them. Good shopping in Lahaina. The Hana Highway was the most beautiful place I have seen and I wish we would have spent 2 days. All of the waterfalls were excellent. Pg 86 is re Waikani Falls--from where you park, you have to walk across the bridge. Like the book says, it is a tricky first step, but once you get past that, it is an easy hike to the waterfall and the pools below. All of the stops that the book recommends are worthwhile. We did see broken glass so be sure to take valuables with you. For the waterfall on Pg 80, after you pass the stream where you have to cross several large boulders, take the path to the left to get to the waterfalls. It is a bamboo forest and really cool. I think there was a drought so the waterfalls were kind of small but it was really neat. PuPu Lounge was excellent as well as Pita Paradise. We had the Brouchetta plate and I loved it. The blow hole on pg 56 is awesome. You can hike down to the base and it is worth it (I had flip-flops on and did not have too much trouble but you should wear "tenny-shoes" to be careful. We had a wonderful trip and the book helped so much.

A fantastic Book for a fantastic exploration.......2000-07-14

I belive that this book let's you travel in the past, in a world where go to the north pole was like go to the moon today. Amundsen was a no fear man, he went where no one went before him and his expedition were the unfortunate victims of bad luck and bad weather. This is the history of that man, and this book let's you live tha experience

The world of dogs: Flatcoated Retrievers.......2002-05-29

This informative book taught me much about flat-coats. The author knows the breed well and her history section is interesting. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to someone thinking of purchasing a flat coat.The color pictures are great!The pros and cons of the breed are throughly discussed. My only caution is that this is a British book and the info in dog sports pertains to England only.

IN DEPTH REVIEW OF FLAT COATS.......1999-12-31

We are flat coat owners. The book is informative and reasonably easy to read. Not a quick read of just pretty pictures. Covers in depth all aspects of the breed. I have used this book as reference. Essential reading for on owner or potential owner of what is called in this book, the "Peter Pan" of retrievers.

When we think of London style, often the first types that come to mind are the English cottage garden and Victorian. London Rooms, with its pages showing glossy photos of sleek surfaces and unusual architectural details, is determined to change that. With interiors from 33 different designers, you'll find modern construction coupled with sleek urban designs that take full advantage of natural light and traditional materials.

It is likely that folks living in urban settings will gain the most from this book in the form of inspiration. Most interiors are flats or lofts, with lots of vertical space and ingenious ways of making the most of all available space. One unusual solution for a 2,200-square-foot flat was to create a flame-red glass wall through the middle of the room lined with a raised concrete hallway that connects the living and sleeping areas. Another large, rectangular flat was designed without interior walls, using instead a system of pivoting screens and moving "interventions." In this home, the owners' collection of beloved objects is displayed in a glass-covered raised platform covered with etched strips that prevent slipping as visitors walk over the area--definitely not your typical "English country house!" Throughout the book, glass, wood, and metal are coupled with subdued neutrals so the overall effect is one of smooth, sharp edges and few personal touches. Several interiors add visual excitement through unusual uses of bright colors, but textural interest is added only through the occasional old brick wall or rough concrete table. Modern stylists will certainly enjoy this book, but the cool, citified tone is not for everyone. --Jill Lightner

Book Description

An inside look at some of the finest interiors designed by 33 of the top interior designers and architects in London. This beautifully illustrated volume brims with a range of styles from the leading British architects and interior designers, including Powell Tuck, Timney Fowler, Michael Reeves, Kelley Hoppen, and Jonathan Reed. This treasure-trove demonstrates how Britain has eschewed many of the accepted norms in interior design over the last decade and has become increasingly receptive to foreign influences, new materials, and pared-down interiors.

Very Useful.......2006-11-04

My dance teacher uses this syllabus in class and we all love it. The different levels of exercises are perfect, as we can build upon them each week. THis is a very useful book.

glad i bought it.......2006-08-19

the principles found in the beginning lend necessary insights into the exercises that follow; great for the creative mind.

Beautiful book - mostly for dancers.......2005-03-27

This book is a true expirience, but it is definately not for beginners in dance.I am a former dancer, now choreographer.
The book gives you a more than well insight in Jose Limons work and working-methods, and contains wonderful pictures. You get facinated and humble the more you know about Jose Limon.
The examples of exercises in the book is a valuable part of it. They are carefully written down, so you can follow them. If you can read notation there is a unique part with short pieces of choreographies.
I really enjoyed to read the book. Limons work comes even more alive and shows his uniqe technique. So if you are a dancer or have a good basic in dance, the book is highly recommed.
It is one of those books you just want to add to your collection.

Jose Limon's work comes alive.......2000-12-03

This book really shows the incredible skill of Jose Limon. I am a dancer and I really enjoyed this book because it clearly showed the technique of Jose Limon. I would suggest this book to any dancer because it really gives you new perspective on some types of movement. This book really made Limon's technique and movement come alive.

No one knows Morrison's work like herself.......2000-07-27

Toni Morrison was clearly ahead of her time -- look at her novels. Her interest in myth, history, a decentered narrator, racialized images of self, and aural language were well ahead of most critics and theorists, who are only now recognizing the full worth of her work. These collected interviews allow us to hear from the horse's mouth what her narrative project is. For Morrison fans, it is particularly interesting to see how the various white interviewers grapple with Morrison's insistence on writing about the culture she knows best -- black culture -- and not putting whites front and center. It is also interesting to see how Morrison herself switches positions throughout her career, from an insistence that she writes only for herself (early in her career) to writing for "the [black] tribe" (middle of her career)to writing for seemingly everybody (later career). A particular treat, for me, were references scattered throughout to how "prickly" Morrison can be and how catty she was about not being nominated for a National Book Award for SONG OF SOLOMON.

Important companion to Playing in the Dark.......1999-07-04

The interviews in this book illuminate the forces behind Morrison's scholarly theories about the role of race in American literature. Anyone who has read "Playing in the Dark: Whiteness and the Literary Imagination" will immediately recognize key themes in many of these interviews, although the strongest distinctions can be found in the last two interviews, each given after publication of "Playing in the Dark." Taken chronilogically, the interviews are a thrillling opportunity to observe how Morrison has evolved as a writer and a scholar. To me, it is clear her novels are a carefully crafted attempt to mirror the racialized signifying she identifies in her scholarly critiques of white writer's work.
