Southern California Flora.......2000-08-06

I have found this to be the most useful wildflower book for coastal southern California. It serves me well from Ensenada, in Baja California to Nojoqui Falls, in Santa Barbara county.

This book has been my field guide, and notebook/palimpsest since 1995.

Other books I have, but don't rate 5 stars: Peterson's Pacific States Wildflowers; Coffeen's Central Coast Wildflowers; Audubon's Field Guide to North American Wildflowers -- Western Region.

great, easy to read guide.......2006-11-10

This guide is down to earth, doesn't overwhelm you with information, yet is very practical. I have used it on two different trips to Rome and each time find it indispensible. I gave a copy to an Italian friend of mine, who is also a tour guide. She thought it was a great piece of literature. "Don't leave for Rome without it!"

The Best Map.......2006-05-06

I have traveled the world and have not found a better map/guide. It should not be looked upon as a traditional travel guide but as unique and fresh approach to your journey, not to mention it's inexpensive. The maps eliminate the clutter and allows for quicker orientation. I've known many others who have used the maps and never heard a negative word. I just wish there were more cities covered.

Excellent resource with unique info.......2005-08-17

This guide provided unique and interesting details to sites in the different districts of Rome. The information about St. Peters, Vatican Square and the diagram of the Sistene Chapel was fabulous. We were able to visit several out-of-the-tourist-path restaurants and found friendly locals eating inside, which provided a true taste of Rome and Roman culture. Bring a map if you want detailed directions, as this provides general directions, but it fully achieves its goal of great walking tours and fabulous information. It really made our trip to Rome special and memorable.

Not worth your money!.......2001-07-13

My wife and I went to Rome for a week in March of 2001. I ordered 2 publications. One of the publications was this one (I wish I didn't buy this one). This walking guide didn't provide enough detailed information (directions) to it's walking tours. The publication is not much better than a bunch of pages that were just printed off of a black and white printer. If this publication was selling for $1.95, then I would say it is worth the money (even then, I don't think you would end up using it).

If you are going to Rome for the first time, get the book called the "Eyewitness Travel Guides: Rome". This is all you will need.

how to get lost in Rome.......1999-12-02

This Rome Walking Guide included an eclectic mix of sites to visit, and the walks were comprehensive. However, it omitted precise directions to and from each attraction. Addresses for most sites were omitted, as were many street names. The included maps were not very detailed and ended up confusing us more than helping. We found ourselves frustrated and lost more times than not. The compact size of the guide made it easy to carry around, but it was lacking in historical background. A bit more information on the attractions would have enhanced the experience of each walk. Overall, the guide lacked clarity, detailed directions, instructions and background -- all crucial for a special experience. I would not recommend this guidebook for first time visitors to Rome.

Lots of information on Border Collies.......2006-02-21

From the dustjacket: In this book, the history of the modern breed is outlined, the Breed Standards are discussed, and dual registration is explained. All aspects of ownership, health care (general and breed specific), management and breeding are covered, before the wealth of activities open to the breed are explored: showing, Trials & Tests, Obedience & Agility, explosive detection, and search and rescue work. There is also a chapter on the breed's role throughout the world. This complete illustrated guide will prove to be an invaluable source of reference and guidance. Based on a lifetime's research by one of the Border Collie/Working Sheep Dog's foremost authorities.

Book Description

According to the Aristotelian philosophy of science, the principles of demonstation do not themselves need to be proved. Why not? What is peculiar to them? To show that, Scholasticism makes use of a phrase derived from Boethius: the principles are "per se nota" ("selbstverstandlich" in the German translation adopted in this work). Thomas Aquinas in particular addresses in a few telling passages in his works the conditions that make a proposition "per se nota". This work tries to clarify the conditions stated by Aquinas. On the one hand it illustrates the context in which these conditions are introduced, namely the question of the self-evidence of the existence of God; on the other hand, it deals with the historical background and the philosophical prerequisites of Aquinas' position. All this not only provides a historically based interpretation of Aquinas' thought, but also offers a rich supply of material to reconstruct an important chapter in the history of ideas. FR Nach der aristotelischen Wissenschaftslehre bedurfen die Prinzipien des Beweises ihrerseits keines Beweises. Warum brachen sie ihn nicht? Was ist an ihnen Besonderes? Um dies zu bezeichnen, benutzt die Scholastik einen durch Boethius ubermittelten Begriff: die Prinzipien sind "per se nota" ("selbstverstandlich", in der hier bevorzugten deutschen Ubersetzung). Insbesondere Thomas von Aquin auert sich an einigen pragnanten Stellen seiner Werke zu den Bedingungen, die eine selbstverstandliche Aussage zu einer solchen machen. Die vorliegende Arbeit versucht, die somit aufgestellten Bedingungen der Selbstverstandlichheit zu erklaren, und zwar einerseits durch den Hinweis auf den Zusammenhang, in dem Thomas zu ihnen Stellung nimmt, namlich die Frage nach der Selbstverstandlichkeit des Daseins Gottes, anderseits durch die Erorterung der historischen und systematischen Voraussetzungen der thomasischen Stellungnahme. Damit wird nicht nur eine historisch fundierte Auslegung des thomasischen Denkens erreicht, sondern auch reiches Material zur Rekonstruktion eines weiteren, wichtigen Kapitels der Ideengeschichte geliefert.

Quality not as good as it was.......2007-04-10

The print quality of this annual guide has deteriorated noticeably over the years. Sections of some of the seating plans in the 2007 edition (the Metropolitan Opera House, for example) are illegible.
That said, it still merits 3 stars if only because it remains the only guide of its kind for NYC theaters and performance venues.
