His selective recommendations and opinionated reviews lead to pioneer history in Salt Lake City, Olympic ski runs in Park City, and scenic campsites in Canyonlands. Kurt Repanshek lives in Park City, UT. 34 maps are included.

From walking tours and resorts to indian reservations.......2001-02-16

From walking tours and resorts to indian reservations and dinosaur quarries, Hidden Utah is an invaluable, "user friendly" guide to all beauty, diversity, and recreational resources that Utah has to offer.

A superbly presented, full-spectrum travel guide........2001-01-04

Hidden Utah adds to an inviting series, surveying less traveled hidden spots in Utah and providing keys to scenic drives, lesser-covered parks, Indian reservations and fossil quarries, and plenty of outdoors activities. Any considering a visit to Utah will find Hidden Utah packed with ideas from culinary adventures to hiking.

Book Description

The name still sends shivers down the spine and has the power to draw in young readers: Geronimo, the legendary Indian who inspired and fought for his people. But who was this man, really? Here is the riveting tale of the last Apache warrior —told by the author of the bestselling Little Britches. Born in 1829 and steeped in the skills and stoicism valued by his tribe, Geronimo was transformed into a feared and respected renegade after witnessing the brutal slaughter of his family. Ultimately he spent more than 25 years eluding the U.S. Army, which sent 5,000 soldiers to hunt him down.

A Huge Heap of Inspiration!.......2002-05-26

This large and heavy book is full of inspiration from our founding fathers in the design world. I had the opportunity to hear Mervyn Kurlansky speak at a design conference a few months ago, and he described how long design took before computers made things nice and easy. This book is full of work by designers who had to use "old-fashioned" ways to get their results.

I can appreciate the creative forces of those who paved the way for modern graphic design, just by turing the pages. Whenever I spend more than $[money] on a book, I demand quality in the content of the book itself. Master's of the 20th Century is worth every penny.

Because graphic design didn't really come of age until this past century, you will experience it's history though the full-color samples in this book.

I recommed this book to all graphic design professionals and to people who like to collect great coffee table books. Anyone who enjoys books with more pictures than words, will appreciate the beauty of this one!

Icograda's Hall.......2001-12-21

A fantastic record of 100 of the best designers of this century. All in one book, great illustrations (done only by the best) all full color and best of all a superb interactive CD rom, a big bonus for those of us who's technical skills are better than our reading ones. Highly recomended for all students of design. Suitable for professors as well as interrested readers. A must for all artists; Great and Small.

Book Description

Do you have a couch-potato pooch who needs stimulating? A hyperactive hound who you'd like to get to relax? Find the advice you need, as well as a good dose of humor and charm, in How To Massage Your Dog.

As this letter from Mandy the Mutt, a satisfied dog, says, "I was a little skeptical when you started touching me in this new manner, but I must admit it is very relaxing and does help take my mind off our regular trips to the veterinarian.... With many woofs of pleasure, yours faithfully."
A Howell Dog Book of Distinction

Disappointing & for the Dogs.......2007-01-19

I agree with the other reviewers that the pictures in this book are good, but they are probably the highlight in a very basic and intuitive book that provides very little information. I happen to be a licensed massage therapist, so I may be a little hard when it comes to critiquing this book, but the book suggests using OIL to massage your dog! I can't imagine my dogs enjoying that, plus they have plenty of oil on their coats that you shouldn't need that. I would not reccommend this book because you can basically figure out most of these techniques on your own. Take a lot at other books that are published on the subject. It's not worth the money or the money to ship.

Nice little starter book on messaging your dog.......2002-05-27

This book isn't meant as an in-depth guide to massaging your dog, but provides humor with some simple techniques. The couple of techniques I've tried on my dogs seem to meet with their approval :-). It's a great method of spending more time with your dogs and they definitely get something out of it.

Want something fun and simple for you and the dog? Get this book - they'll be glad you did.

Simple introduction to beginning massage for your dog.......1999-12-05

An amusing little book that is useful in helping the loving dog owner give and receive physical relaxation from their pet. It isn't a medical or chiropractic guide to the canine but rather has humorous cartoons and three simple techniques to get started in massaging your dog. A conversation starter and an interesting inexpensive gift for the Holidays. Origins stores are featuring this @ list price with dog biscuits as a Christmas gift.

Great cartoons, but no usable info.......1999-03-08

I was severely disappointed with book. It has entertaining cartoons, with virtually no usable information for individuals wishing to take the subject seriously, or even just wishing to get good basic info on canine massage.

Expert grass breeders reveal the amazing diversity of ornamental grasses in this beautifully illustrated book.

Grass forms and uses are detailed, terminology is explained, and proper grass maintenance and care are outlined. Gardeners also learn about how to get the most out of grasses in the summer, fall, and winter seasons. One hundred different grasses are shown and described in the “Grasses at a Glance” section, and simple garden plans show how easily grasses can be placed in gardens and landscapes.

Grass Scapes.......2006-11-10

This book covers grasses that grow in the Ontario area, but the information given is just as valid for me in California. The photos are excellent & the descriptions of each variety are extremely useful.

Helped me a lot.......2006-05-17

I knew nothing about gardeing with grasses but wanted to try some in my backyard so I referenced this book. So far, my garden's been a huge success, thanks to Martin's advice and photos.

Not the best one out there.......2004-06-11

Despite the title, there's scant information on using grasses in the landscape. And many of the photos are of poor quality. For the money, there are better grass books on the market. For great photos and inspiration, I much prefer Nancy Ondra's "Grasses: Versatile Partners for Uncommon Garden Design."

Solid book on ornamental grasses.......2004-04-27

I must start off by saying that I love ornamental grasses. I love the way they look, especially in winter when their long stalks and inflouresences sway in the wind against a backdrop of a snowy white blanket. Martin Quinn and Catherine Macleod have put together a great book showing how to use grasses in landscapes. They discuss forms and uses before giving details about 100 different species of grass. I've found several that I want to incorporate into my landscape, and even found some design suggestions in this book. Quinn is a renowned grass breeder in Canada, so he knows his grasses and includes many that are hardy for use in northern climates.

Book Description

Acia Gray's The Souls of Your Feet is an exciting self-paced journey into the world and creation of the art of tap dance. Whether student, professional or fan of this indigenous American dance form, this guidebook leads the reader on an exploration of the essentials and basics of tap dance composition and communication from the perspective of a career professional.

Customer Reviews:

One of the most complete tap books available!.......2003-08-29

Great Book on Tap! Highly Recommend it!

A word of caution..........2002-12-19

This book helped me a LOT, I have to admit to that. But experienced tap dancers beware: looking at words that describe steps can be extremely frustrating when you can't visually see them done. Acia has written some wonderful pearls of wisdom within this book, and I highly reccommend it to any serious tap dancer

Wonderful!.......2002-05-02

Thanks to Acia M. Gray for writing a book that's not just somebody elses steps! I was so excited to see that this book gives tools to make up your own stuff. I will say that some of the terminology is different than I'm used to but it clarifies tap dance in a way that makes sense and lays down a foundation on which to play! An intelligent guide to the "language" of rhythm with your feet.

A treasure for the open minded.......2001-10-25

This book is a must for beginners. Ms. Gray's definitions make sense. The concepts if taught from the beginning, carry the dancer easily into the advanced levels. Those who do not like the book are struggling with their own closed minds not any shortcomings on Ms. Gray's part. If we all had learned tap with these unique concepts so many bad habits would not have to be "re-learned." I have taught tap for 19 years and all my students have adapted the curriculum provided in "The Souls of Your Feet." The historical descriptions and resource information have proven invaluable as well.

Very confusing.......2001-06-09

It was more confusing than any other book I have ever read about tap or any other type of dance.

Book Description

Veteran jazz critic Derek Ansell explores the life and music of John Coltrane, one of the most significant modern jazz soloists and innovators of the 20th century. This book not only details Coltrane's strengths and weaknesses, but also draws attention to the lesser-known but significant early records such as Lush Life and Whims of Chambers. Coltrane's music and the lasting influence he has exerted is discussed in the context of the obstacles he faced throughout the crucial years of his development. This book details how Coltrane was subjected to virulent criticism, particularly in the early 1960s but also throughout his career as a mature soloist and leader. Fans will appreciate the complete discography of Coltrane, which includes recommendations and commentary.
