best guides.......2007-09-20

great guidebooks. Little hard read at first, but useful all the time. worth read before trip. Not the one that you can just open on scene.

Time Out - the best travel guides!!! :-0.......2006-08-20

While there are heaps of travel book guides on the market, Time Out are better than all others. Lonely Planet are good and DK are good, but this range is a little more in depth and seems to go the extra mile.
After a fun introduction, there are the usual sections you'd expect to find in a guide book; Restaurants and Bars, Hotels, Nightlife, Shopping (my personal favourite) and things Nearby to name a few. I believe their maps are more detailed and layed out really well. There are hours for shops and restaurants and websites too. They include things for people on all kinds of budgets. Another cute idea they have going on is little blue notes on various pages with a point of interest that has been used in a movie or TV show. For example, on page 116 it mentions that the Grand Olympic Auditorium (with its address) was used in Million Dollar Baby. These are just another added bonus that makes this more unique.
I have found these guides useful in the past, and this one is going to come in handy again, because they always update to include new places to stay, eat and shop. These books are so helpful and I think you'll find that too. Check them out, and you may not use other guides again.

Great guides.......2005-09-04

These books are really helpful and useful. Even if you're like me and know your way around Los Angeles like the back of your hand, it still comes in handy. It gives web addresses and phone numbers and more correct information than I've seen in other publications. It also gives you the closest freeways to a particular location. It's a good compact size too. All the Time Out guides I've read are as good as this. They are on a par if not better to Lonely Planet.

Good to Have.......2000-04-05

For natives, and non-natives alike this guide is a must have. The restaurant choices are solid and I have made much use of the accommodations information when out of town guests come to visit. It is geared to a somewhat younger crowd, but is FULL of useful information for all. It prevents you from wasting any time looking for places to go and places to eat that aren't worthy. All of their recommedations are on the money.

Very informative.......2004-10-01

This is the second Time Out guide I've bought. (I also have recently ordered the Time Out Chicago). It's an excellent guide and well laid out, easy to read and you get a great gauge for the city you're interested in. For examples, they give you good directions on how to get to where you're going, and they include a huge amount of website address' (not always - but mostly). This LA guide is also designed for a bit of fun with bonus tidbits such as where you can find the Cunningham house from Happy Days, or where the school is from Grease. There is equally good information in all areas ranging from accomodation to shopping (my favourite), museums and restaurants (my second favourite). As a 'bonus' there is a good section at the back of the book all about useful information such as medical centers and emergencies, consulates, internet acces and Visa requirements to name a few.

I liked this book a lot and as I said, I've gone and ordered another one of their guides. I do find them very usefull and helpful.

Book Description

This fabulous book graphically maps the evolution of American and European microbrewery labels, logos, and pub signs concentrating on their homegrown style of self promotion and artwork.

It documents a rare occasion when traditional graphic design (as employed by the giant breweries) is challenged with such boldness it has no option but to succumb.

A Must Have Beer Book.......2002-11-25

This is the best book on beer labels ever written. If you like beer and would like to view an amazing collection of beer labels this is the only book for you. I am not sure how many beer labels are in this book, it must be several hundred, all in color. I got a copy of this a while back and I keep it on my coffee table. Everybody picks it up and loves it. It never gets old.

Very tasty!.......1999-09-28

Amazingly various labels of distinction. Makes me wanna travel around and try them all.

Unique, captivating, delicious!.......1999-09-24

Labels of Distinction was a well-thought, brilliantly designed look into the art behind great beers. It provides amusing and though-provoking commentaries on the styles and types of beers unique to each region explored. More than just admiring great labels for their actual art, the book looks at why each label works to promote and sell each beer. A must read, as much for the knowledge you will gain on beer and its marketing as for the lables themselves.

Book Description

With a focus on recreating natural habitats and providing the ideal environment for successful keeping, this book contains troubleshooting advice and remain useful long after the aquarium is set up, so readers will enjoy them for years to come.

Customer Reviews:

Good book for cichlid beginners.......2005-04-12

The book itself is recommended for people who are stepping into the world of cichlids. If you're deciding wether or not you'd like to keep cichlids or deciding on which cichlid species to keep this is the book for you. It covers most basics of cichlid keeping, describes differences between different sorts of these fish. Everything is backed up with great pictures. The book will sure make a lot of influence to your decision on which cichlids to choose. Some most common speciers are described in more detail.

Overall, you'll find basic information on all aspects of cichlid keeping (tank setup, equipment, feeding, breeding, illnesses etc.). However, if you're making your first aquarium, I personally recommend that you buy some beginner guidebook on setting up aquariums. Also, once you choose the kind of cichlids to keep, you'll probably want to buy another book which describes the chosen species in more detail.

This book would be a waste of money for professionals.

Four stars are given because I think that some topics could have been covered in some more detail.

Amazing Book.......2004-02-08

This book has so much information than any other book I have read. It contains a brief history of the cichlids and where they can be found. This book also tells you how to set up your cichlid aquarium and tips for maintaining your aquarium.

Book Description

A Price Guide To Books Concerning British Mountaineers and Mountaineering is the first of a series of guides to be published over the next two years. It is a guide to the likely cost of obtaining or replacing, second hand, any one of the 700 plus mountaineering, climbing or walking books that it lists. The series, when completed, will make available information on books concerning not only British mountaineering, but the Himalayas, the Alps and the rest of the world.

Book Description

In The Harmonious Garden, Catherine Ziegler describes fail-safe design methods. Even novice gardeners can compose plant arrangements that successfully incorporate color, form, and texture. The first section presents 149 integrated compositions. Ziegler fully describes the plants in each arrangement: Latin name, quantity and size, environment, and USDA zones. Full-color photographs illustrate each composition, and the author discusses the key principles underlying each harmonious design. The second section offers more detailed information with suggestions for successful design combinations.

Customer Reviews:

Even more information that the title suggests.......2003-03-24

In addition to more than 140 attractive combinations, with color photos and drawings to illustrate exactly what makes up the plantings in each photo, this book contains a load of practical and insightful observations. It's a treasure for UK, European, and US gardeners with its careful and accurate attention to zones; it's an inspiration to gardeners everywhere because of the education it offers about what underlies this author's ideas about combining plants.

Each planting combination has a photo and annotated drawing, as well as three to six or so paragraphs which are loaded with tremendously valuable data points. How much space might the combination be expected to occupy? What foliar changes occur as the plant occurs? What is unique about the combination's color, form, texture? Do any of the plants re-seed? What compatible plantings would extend the season of interest? When in the season was the photo taken?

There is a separate section with details about specific plants included in the combinations. Three appendices (bloom options by exposure, season, and color [which increases the value of this book far beyond the combinations it suggests]); foliar options; an extensive cross-reference between common and botanic names) add much more value. Finally and typically for publications of Timber Press, a fine index makes the book easy to use over and over.

There are less expensive books about planting combinations, but no book that I know of that offers broader and deeper information to help gardeners find their own beautiful planting harmonies. One good thing about this book's price point is that you can be virtually assured that few novice gardeners own it; thus, it would be an excellent and much appreciated gift.

Basic principles of color and form.......1999-09-20

Generally, an excellent reference. The author methodically and analytically (if you appreciate that sort of thing) takes the reader through combinations of color and form and explains why the combinations work. The author's taste in color is subtle, however, and you will not be shown high contrast or exciting color combinations. The same restraint applies in the author's use of form. There are appendices that discuss various plants and combinations, although not in depth.

Book Description

In this groundbreaking book, prize-winning pianist and noted educator William Westney helps readers discover their own path to the natural, transcendent fulfillment of making music. Drawing on experience, psychological insight, and wisdom ancient and modern, Westney shows how to trust yourself and set your own musicality free. He offers healthy alternatives for lifelong learning and suggests significant change in the way music is taught. For example, playing a wrong note can be constructive, useful, even enlightening. The creator of the acclaimed Un-Master Class workshop also explores the special potential of group work, outlining the basics of his revelatory workshop that has transformed the music experience for participants the world over. Practicing, in Westney's view, is a lively, honest, adventurous, and spiritually rewarding enterprise, and it can (and should) meet with daily success, which empowers us to grow even more. Teachers, professionals, and students of any instrument will benefit from this unique guide, which brings artistic vitality, freedom, and confidence within everyone's reach.

Customer Reviews:

The Perfect Right Book.......2007-01-18

If you want to truly refresh your thinking about teaching music, this is the book. Explore with the author ways to bring enthusiasm and joy into the learning process... how to use 'honest mistakes" as tools. Be prepared to learn why traditional methods can sometimes harness creativity. This book described for me a way to help my students relax and welcome the journey into music. Whether teaching by traditional methods or not, this book is a must. Thanks, Mr. Westney, for the great read and the inspiring words.

Perfect Antidote.......2006-11-11

Not really being part of the culture to which the author is reacting, I found this book to be captivating, if a bit strident. The unfortunate tendency towards perfectionism taints a great deal more than music instruction. The expectations of deference and respect on the basis of position weaken bishops and U.S. presidents as well as maestros and music teachers. Still, the control freak element runs deep. As an adult beginner taking piano lessons, I just see it from a different perspective. Take humor in the strutting of the popinjay, no need to be alarmed by it.

Also, the man either knows nothing about golf, or else cheats on his scorecard. I suspect the former rather than the latter. But, a recorded lousy golf swing is just a lousy golf swing, while one left off the scorecard is, well, a reflection of character.

However, on his home ground, the practice room and the recital stage, the author is very strong. Texas Tech is lucky to have him. Go, Red Raiders!

simply the best.......2006-06-09

This is my favorite book about music-making (classical piano, in my case). Westney very convincingly makes the case for an overhaul of the way we approach music practice and performance. The 'juicy wrong note' idea promotes a wholistic, passionate attitude. It is NOT the idea of treating mistakes lightly...more, it's the attitude of making the mistake whole-heartedly and then learning what it has to tell you about your level of preparedness,an unsuspected weak point, etc. Westney does not cover specific how-to's (the best book on that for piano in my opinion is Berman's) but more the philosophy to bring to the practice room and to the performance. I'd give more stars if it were possible

Amazing ... and Healing.......2006-03-22

I had a difficult time reading this, only because the content was so close to my own life/story. I could've sworn that William was writing about ME, and I relived many things that I didn't realize this book would create the avenue to surface. Fortunately, this book has helped me to begin to heal old, deep, and hidden grievances that have kept me from being the musical self that my soul longs and deserves to be ... until now.

What a great way to address a very real issue. What a great way for me to finally resolve my childhood rejections of not being allowed to express myself at the very time I was creating my musical self.

Thank you, William. I can now forgive and begin new again, this time without fear of repercussion in expressing what is in my heart and my soul, even if I'm the only one that appreciates it!

Wonderful book!.......2005-09-30

This is the best self-awareness book that a student and/or teacher can read. As a non-traditional (older) music major who also teaches, this book has shed new light on many problems pianists face, teacher encounter & teachers create! A must read!
