Pretty good.......2007-09-09
We stayed a long weekend, and this guide was useful. Note, its several years old. They have lists of recommended things to do and where to stay. I didn't really follow all of that, but it was still helpful. We found the Holiday Inn Historic on AAA web site at a great price, and knew more information about it because of this guide.
A Bit Out of Date.......2007-07-07
We used this a lot while planning and touring in Philadelphia. This edition is out of date. Nearly all prices were wrong, sometimes buy more then $15. I also would quibble with some of the restaurant price catagorys. It's a convenient size and weight for carrying.
Great Guide For a 2 Day Trip to Philly.......2006-12-16
My family and I used this guide to plan and have a great trip to Philly. We used restaurant, hotel, and sight portions of the guide, but focused mostly around Liberty Square. I wish it had pointed out a couple tips: go to the visitors center when it first opens in the morning, no matter how hard, and get tickets to liberty hall. Then, walking down to the Bell, you will avoid the 1 hour lines you have most of the day, and get right into the Liberty Hall tour. Then you've got time for a stroll before lunch, and the rest of the day to relax. I can't believe how many people were standing in long lines, or missed out on tickets because they showed up at 10am. Anway, good guide, and I'd buy another again from them.

Flight
ASIN: 0792251202
Release Date: 2003-09-01 |
Book Description
From flying prehistoric creatures through hot-air balloons and the first manned flights to today's space travel and envisioned future wonders, this lavishly illustrated picture book traces the entire history of flight in a colorful and innovative way that will strongly appeal to young children. The simple yet lyrical story shows how humans longing to fly studied winged animals for clues, persevered with imagination and courage through years of trial and error, finally got themselves into the air, and continue to race ever higher, faster, and farther. An accompanying fact-filled time line running throughout the pages features whimsical spot illustrations that complement the text and provide another layer of information for young flight enthusiasts.
Customer Reviews:
Good overview for flight fanatics.......2004-05-21
My son is five years old and has been intensely interested in planes for at least two years. This book is a big hit with him. I like it because it gives him more of a historical perspective; he's old enough now to understand that people had to learn many things before they built successful planes, that planes have changed over the years, etc. There are nice little tidbits of information that we've never seen in other kids' books before, so that keeps both of us interested, too.
Customer Reviews:
Top book for creative page layout examples.......2006-05-13
This is a great book full of examples of published design work mainly focusing on mgazine spreads.
The rationals for each example add to the depth of each design. 'Workings' towards the 'final soloution' are also shown for many layouts which you don't often see.
I recommend to people doing typography for creative inspiration.
Book Description
"This is Hannah," Lynne Hugo introduces her chocolate Labrador retriever to an aged woman in a wheelchair at the Golden View Nursing Home. "Would you like to pat her?"
"I don't know," she responds warily. "Dogs are complicated."
So, of course, is life, especially as the years accumulate and the body declines. In fact, the most painful complications are those that Hugo hopes to ease with Hannah, her exuberant therapy dog. What Hugo receives in return, unexpectedly, is an outpouring of stories as the residents respond to Hannah’s antics and affection. As Hugo’s involvement deepens, she begins to see her own life and her care for her elderly parents in a new perspective. Interweaving the elders’ tales—of old loves and ancient dreams, abandonment and loneliness, and the struggle for dignity—with her own family’s story, she creates a richly textured collective portrait of the often-hidden world of the aged. At the same time, she crafts an eloquent meditation on the fundamental human need to nurture and remain connected to other people, to animals, and to the natural world.
Customer Reviews:
My Sincere Thanks to Lynne Hugo.......2006-08-19
I am grateful to Lynne Hugo for her heartwarming and insightful book. She encouraged me to continue to visit nursing homes and Alzheimer patients with my toy poodle, Lucy, even though she is not trained to perfection. Lucy brings joy to residents and care providers. God has presented me with the opportunity to share my dog and I am proud to serve Him in this way.
Thought-provoking, funny, helpful: a winner of a book........2006-03-21
I can see why this book won a national writing prize. What a sheer pleasure to read. It's thoughtful, deeply considered and the language sparkles as the author deals with terribly difficult issues but helps us through them by injecting literally hilarious episodes at just the right moments. Marley and Me has nothing funnier than sections of this book. My dog and I are Delta Society volunteers, and I, too, have aging parents. Much of this helped me think about my own life as well as my parents' situations, and I'm really grateful that a friend recommended this book. Now I'm passing the favor on and giving this my most enthusiastic endorsement.
A book for dog & nature lovers. .......2005-08-16
An enjoyable book! I was moved emotionally by the connections of the dog therapy team, the residents they visited, and the nature around them. Nice symbolism showing how human life events parallel changes in nature.
Great book!.......2005-08-15
I throughly enjoyed reading "Where the Trail Grows Faint: A Year in the Life of a Therapy Dog Team" by Lynne Hugo. Lynne Hugo is masterful at blending the story of Hannah, her beautiful chocolate lab therapy dog, with the lives of the people who are in the nursing home, along with the lives of her own aging parents. Ms. Hugo has a beautiful way with words; her prose creates atmosphere and feeling....so much so that at the conclusion of the book, I immediately went to visit my own aging mother-in-law, who is in an assisted living facility. This book was clearly written from the heart!
Good reading, but not what I expected.......2005-08-10
I absolutely loved the first chapter. After reading it, I come to the conclusion it wasn't what I expected, though. Oh yes, it is definitely good reading.. but the reviews mislead me to think it was more about the dog than it was. If I had to sum it up, it was more about the woman and her feelings toward her own aging parents and many times comparing the experiences in a nursing home to how she feels about taking care of her own parents. Some of the things mentioned about the dog scared me... I can't count how many times she said that the dog forgot all its obedience training in the home. It would more often be off-leash, run up to residents... even pushing a person in a wheelchair backwards with its jump to the lap. She mentioned tossing balls and having the residents toss balls for the dog. Oftentimes the dog decided when it wanted to jump up on a bed with a resident. Everyone was giving the dog treats (which I think I read recently that one of the Therapy Orgs says no to treats *on the job*) I am sure there were a lot of good behavior that she just left out of the book... but if my own dog did these things, I would be re-thinking letting her work in a nursing home environment.
I did enjoy reading the book (it was colorful and eloquent), but was disappointed it wasn't what I thought it was. The one review said, "she includes all the extra techniques she figured out in the field to make them a better, more effective team." No, it did not. The only thing I came away with was that she needed to refine what she carries in her sack each time she comes to the home... a fuzzy ball, a container for the dog to drink out of, etc.
I do recommend reading the book, to get an insight on how one person *got involved* with the residents, but don't get it if you think it will alert you to some techniques to be a better team.

Customer Reviews:
Small book, but packed with information.......2002-07-20
The book contains about 88 pages divided into five sections. The sections are Environment, Nutrients, Rooting Medium, Hormones, and Cuttings. The book contains several hand sketches.
The book is well written and covers many fundamentals about growing plants indoor. Also, it's original information. This book is not just a re-write from Van Patten's other book, "Gardening Indoors with HID Lights". It is completely different information. All new writing.
This is a solid beginner's guide. Although, the book does make the process sound way too simple. In my first attempt, all my cuttings died. Yes - I did follow the instructions. But it's not as simple as it first looks. It takes several attempts to get good at propagating plants.
I wish the book had a troubleshooting section. Answering questions like, "why are my little plants turning yellow?"
It's a small book, but packed with information. A good value.

Book Description
This book contains partly sections that have never previously been published, and partly earlier contributions that have been thoroughly revised. They are concerned with the use of texts from the Hebrew Bible for historical research. The first chapter offers a general introduction, in which a new method of establishing the historical value of biblical texts is described and elucidated. The second chapter concerns the Ark Narrative (I Sam. iv-vi; II Sam. vi) in its historical context. In the third chapter, the relationship between the literary structure and the historical value of the Moabite inscription of king Mesha is investigated. In the fourth chapter, problems relating to the Hezekiah narratives (Isa. xxxvi-xxxix; II Kings xviii-xx) are discussed, to wit, the primacy of the Isaiah version, the literary unity and historicity of the story; the theological purpose of the speeches and Sennacherib's letter. The last chapter focuses on the representation of king Manasseh in II Kings xxi and II Chronicles xxxiii.
