ABOUT PROTECTION OF SPECIES, PARTICULARLY TIGER AND BIG CATS.
Customer Reviews:
Save That Tiger! Ecology in India ---.......2000-07-24
This fascinating book is primarily a message of conservation, of the importance of saving the large predators for the environmental health of the planet. Arjan Singh was recognized internationally as one of India's major conservationists. He maintained a farm in Uttar Pradesh called Tiger Haven, where he successfully raised big cats and returned them to the wild. The first section of the book is autobiographical, telling the story of Singh's evolution from a sport hunter to a conservationist. Following this, he refutes an entire gamut of misconceptions concerning the great predators, which have been used to justify the wanton destruction of the big cats, particularly the tiger. He illustrates his arguments with case histories of some tigers he has known; animals that took to hunting humans only under extreme pressure and entirely because of human interference in tiger habitats. Very entertaining as well as thought provoking!

Sixteen short stories of pet loss as seen through the eyes of a country veterinarian.
Customer Reviews:
A poignant essay on the tragedy of losing treasured friends.......2001-06-19
A wonderful book examining pet loss from multiple perspectives as observed by a humble country veterinarian.Through his career as a farmer, student, and professional caregiver, the pain of losing a loved one remains constant. Dr. Orzeck shares personal tragedies, as well as those of his friends and colleagues. A touching portrayal of the pain we all endure when a beloved pet is lost, regardless of species or circumstances.
Wonderful book for all animal lovers!.......2001-06-15
Dr. Orzeck addresses some difficult issues in euthansia with a sense of wonderment and love towards animals. The book brings both tears and joy as "Doc" describes many of the creatures that he has enjoyed in life and grieved in death. As a veterinarian, he has illuminated one of the hardest chores an animal doctor has to perform with both compassion and sensitivity. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves animals, anyone who aspires to be a veterinarian or anyone who has recently lost a pet.
The Heart Connection.......2001-04-03
A must read for anyone who shares his or her life with a pet, or has loved and lost a pet.
From his dedication page to his closing sentence, Dr. Orzeck will captivate the reader with his endless empathy and anguish of dealing with the death of animals. Written with candor, this gentle and compassionate country vet tells of unforgettable animals. These are animals he must enthanize due to old age, trauma, illness, and owner neglect and selfishness. Each animal's story will leave you deeply touched; you feel the doctor's own heartbreak and pain at the loss of each innocent life.

Book Description
Rebecca Cole--once an actress/activist and now the owner of the trend-setting Greenwich Village store Potted Gardens--introduces a whole new way to garden. Using any container--from the bed of a toy truck to a bedpan--and any kind of plant--from rose to weed--would-be gardeners can follow Rebecca's guidance and plant a bit of beauty in a corner of their homes or gardens.
Starting at the beginning--what a garden means to urban dwellers and their country cousins and how to stimulate your own imagination--she then helps us hunt for plants at neighborhood nurseries and markets (which she advocates over catalogue shopping); gather containers from dumps, attics, flea markets, and antiques stores; and put it all together in potted gardens for windowsill, desk, and patio. In a chapter on terraces, she turns to the great outdoors, explaining the design and creation of complete gardens made up of containers, artfully arranged to make the most of small spaces. And all along the way she shares her own experiences with breaking all the rules to achieve ebullient flowering displays.
With nearly 200 spectacular photographs, illustrated step-by-step instructions on how to plant in wooden boxes, metal containers, and how to plant bulbs; tips on maintaining a finished potted garden; suggestions on further reading; and a glossary--Potted Gardens is the everyday companion for the new and experienced container gardener alike.
Rebecca Cole is the proprietor of one of New York City's most talked-about shops, Potted Gardens, where she mixes well-loved antiques (and old sinks and watering cans) with flowers and plants. She has made appearances on "Our Home" and "Home Matters" and is a regular guest on "Fox After Breakfast." Her work has been featured in Architectural Digest, Travel and Leisure, House Beautiful, the New York Times, and Victoria, among others. She lives in New York City.
Richard Felber has been photographing America's gardens for two decades. Among the many magazines that have published his work are House Beautiful, Garden Design, and New York magazine. This is his first book. He lives in Connecticut.
Grab a pot, a wooden box, or a tin can; gather your bulbs and flowers; and read Rebecca Cole's Potted Gardens for a whole new way to look at gardening.

Shabby Chic Container Planting.......2006-04-06
Here are some things this book won't do for you:
For those wanting a how-to book, there are only six pages on transplanting, pruning, watering, pests, etc. and eight pages on planting in boxes and buckets. For those wanting traditional pots and window boxes, this enthuses about offbeat containers. For anyone wanting a photo book to identify plants for containers, this isn't a plant guide.
The author gives her personal experiences junk hunting (for containers), setting up city gardens (on rooftops, in windowboxes), and her relationships with plants. Since I've already read other books for the how-to, the plant selection, and the traditional looking containers, this book was a refreshing change.
If you're drawn to the shabby chic style of decorating, you may already have plenty of containers for this style of potted gardening. Brace yourself, the woman hacks holes in the bottom of a fire bucket.
The glossy photos open your mind to new uses for old things. Think of morning glories climbing an old iron bed as a trellis or a fern growing in a cake tin. Fill a teapot with ivy, a spice tin with rosemary, then perch them on a rustic step ladder near a sunny window.
This is a fun idea book for growing plants in containers.
Not what I was looking for.......2000-05-05
I bought this book when I decided to start a container garden on my deck. I returned it the moment I got it. It just didn't have what I was looking for. Although it has some stuff that is pretty to look at it didn't provide the instruction that I wanted and needed. I wasn't impressed in the least. I found a book that outshines this one in every way. It's David Joyce's Complete Container Garden. A huge book with wonderful ideas and photographs. The best part is that it gives step by step instructions on how to duplicate A LOT of the arrangements. I am very proud of my new deck and it is because of that book. I learned a lot. It has all of the info a beginner would need yet it is interesting enough for someone who has gardened forever. Potted Gardens, by Rebecca Cole can't compare.
I love this book!.......2000-04-29
Rebecca Cole's imagination soars when it comes to potted gardens! I love the way she sees containers in everyday items--including items headed for the trash! Hurray for Rebecca and giving me new vision for my garden.
Too much Rebecca Cole, not enough plants!.......2000-03-18
Lots of little anecdotes about Rebecca Cole, but as an inspiration for container gardening, this book is a bomb. If you like cute, this might be your cup of tea, but if you want to create a garden that's something special, this book won't help. Lots of marigolds and petunias in cast-off containers, but nothing new or noteworthy in the plant department. Try Gardening without a Garden by Gay Search or 50 Recipes for Container Gardens by Richard Bird.
Gardening Made Easy--and Fun!.......1999-05-05
With two semi-black thumbs and not much of a penchant for backbreaking work in the garden, I was hesitant to try my hand once again at container gardening--even if it would be for one last time. But POTTED GARDENS opened up a whole new world of gardening to me! Rebecca Cole finds unique and often humorous containers everywhere she goes--and now so do I! I see containers in old coffee pots, and buckets, and boxes; in wooden shoes and tin watering cans. You simply need to open your eyes to Ms Cole's vision of what container, terrace, patio, and potted gardens were meant to be. I recommend this book to weekend and serious gardeners alike.

Fashion Legend.......2005-04-13
"Yves St.Laurent Fashion Review" is one of Toim Tierney's better works in the fashion designers series of paper doll books.
It's wonderful that one of the dolls looks like Yves Saint-Laurent's close friend and muse, Catherine Deneuve (although this isn't mentioned in the text).
All of the famous creations from YSL's first twenty years as a couturier are featured: trapeze line dress, the smoking, safari jacket, art inspired dresses and ethnic looks.
Unfortunately, the later stages of YSL's career are not well represented. Many fashion historians give the impression that YSL influence faded by the end of the 1970-s, but he was in fact instrumental in creating the look of the 1980-s. Tom Tierney's book reinforces this erroneous impression by featuring very few designs dated after 1979.
One final note: doll two is clothed in a flesh colored body stocking which was supposedly worn under transparent clothes. Yves Saint-Laurent never gave his models body stockings to wear under mousseline dresses as such false modesty would defeat the purpose of celebrating a beautiful body.

Book Description
“Is that you …?” Matron’s voice would ring out across the dormitory. In that pause sixty little girls would stop in their tracks, waiting to hear who was in trouble. All too often the name called out would be that of the high spirited dormitory girl Ruthie. In the Depression years Queensland’s notorious Cherbourg Aboriginal Mission become home to four-year-old Ruth until her late teens when she was sent out to serve as a domestic on a station homestead.Ruthie is the central character in this lively and candid memoir of institutional life. Her milestones and memories reflect the experiences of many dormitory girls. The strong and lasting bonds that developed between them helped to compensate for family love and support denied them by the disruptive removal policy of the day.An inspiring lifestory, this remarkable memoir won the prestigious David Unaipon Award in 1998. In her recently released sequel Bittersweet Journey Ruth recounts, with characteristic humour and honesty, a dormitory girl’s life after the Mission.
