5 out of 5 stars The Coelomycetes reviewed by E.W.A. Boehm.......2001-05-07

I have had this book for a number of years now and, although published quite some time ago, this text is still THE definitive taxonomic source for this group of asexual microfungi commonly producing fructifications of some sort. I would not recomend this book for the novice, however, due to the nature of the taxonomic keys which require careful observation with a compound microscope and proper stains. Although it is profusely illustrated, a beginier will not likely be able to identify his/her collection without a thorough understanding of condiogenesis in general and more specifically conidiogenesis as this relates to this group of fungi. However, I would recomend the book for plant pathologists, for example, who have a name on their collection based on host substrate, but want more information (i.e., original description, literature etc.). Although a very difficult group of fungi to identify (determining conidiogenesis within acervuli is a task unto itself!) this text still represents the authoritative bible of the group.

1 out of 5 stars Inaccurate.......2006-01-07

First, the good news: there is a guide to the low countries, known pre-EU as the Benelux (for Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg). Now the bad news: it's not a very good guide. I should have known from the inaccurate title--Holland (a subset of provinces) is part of the Netherlands (the country), so the names are not synonymous--but I found out the hard way instead.

I chose to bring this one on our recent trip because it meant I wouldn't have to carry more than one book. I almost threw it away mid-trip after discovering that much of the text was out-of-date, misleading, or wrong. I don't mean things like restaurants or museum opening times, because those change frequently, but things that suggest that the author didn't actually verify anything cultural that he wrote about.

For example, the author refers to the Hotel Royale in Luxembourg as "a leading hotel of the world." Not quite--it's a member of the Leading Hotel of the World, Inc. chain. He also says that Luxembourg City is extremely safe (why, it's the safest city in the world!) and that it's open all night. Actually, the bars close at 1 AM and according to several locals, there is tons of petty crime and the "safest city in the world" title was self-anointed. We found numerous examples of innacuracies in the writeups about the Netherlands and Belgium too.

On the other hand, the maps were decent and it did cover many of the smaller towns that we wanted to see, which is primarily why we kept the book.

My advice is to find separate guides for the Netherlands and Belgium/Luxembourg, and get some good maps from the tourism offices.

5 out of 5 stars I was able to take my trip on the budget I had set........2003-08-21

Leave it to Frommer's to put all the great cities and towns of Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg in one handy book. This guide offered good maps and suggestions for "best of" experiences. There are separate maps for attractions, hotels and restaurants in each city, all listed by price range. This easy to carry guide came with me everywhere I went and properly lead me to all the best places.

                            Book Description

                            Crowned by a vast rack of antlers, the moose is one of the most impressive animals in the wild north country. Though they are the largest members of the deer family, reaching more than six feet tall and weighing up to 1,800 pounds, moose are exceptionally shy and solitary. Moose, photographed by Mark Picard, features these elusive and endearing creatures in every season.

                                  5 out of 5 stars Border Fine Arts A Complete Guide to Storybook Figurines.......2001-04-20

                                  This book was long in coming. A company which manufactures a figurine of this quality deserves to be recognised and catalogued. Marilyn Sweet has done just that with a book which is complete in every way. The History and story of Border Fine Arts is well researched and well explained. To those of us who have collected these items for years now have a great guide which we can turn to. The book is well indexed and offers great information on pricing(USA, Canada and UK), location of manufacture, issue date and retirement date of each figurine. Illustraions are offered for most of the figurines listed, some in colour and some in black and white. With all the information in the market on collectibles it was time Border Fine Arts had a comprehensive guide for collectors and thanks to Marilyn Sweet we now do.

                                                        Book Description

                                                        Sadr-i-Ziya's Diary lends valuable perspective to numerous studies narrowly focused upon the modern Reformists (Jadids) of his area. It also, and perhaps in the first place, reveals the endless occupational and mortal uncertainties tormenting a Central Asian Islamic judge practicing his profession within an aged political and economical system deteriorating during the last decades, ca. 1880-1920, of the state of Bukhara. By supplying a Bukharan intellectual's personal history, Sadr-i Ziya, author, poet and calligrapher, also reveals himself as an admirable human being who enjoys life but endures the repeated, scalding experience of losing beloved children, their mothers, and other family members, in an era when medicine and prayer scarcely deterred the multitude of prevailing inflictions. Nothwithstanding this strong focus upon his personal life, Sadr-i Ziya provides an unparalleled view of the central role played by the omnipresent religious hierarchy in his homeland.

                                                        Mr. Beard does an excellent job of presenting the entire line of Bronica Cameras, and chronicles the history of roll film cameras in general from past to present. Little known historical facts, such as the origin of the name "Broncia" are one of the many interesting facets of this technical, but easy to read book. He details the history and full specifications of the excellent Zenzanon lenses, including those for the ETRSi, SQ-Ai, and GS-1. Every accessory is reviewed and explained in great detail, with photographs, and tips for getting the most out of your equipment. If you own or plan to buy a Bronica Camera, this book is a bargain at it's cover price. I'd recommend buying it for students of photographic history as well.

                                                        A compelling social document as well as an intensely personal account of the author's experiences as a young woman during the Cultural Revolution. One of the first post-Cultural Revolution texts to deal openly with sex, its emotional honesty and spirited tone made it one of the most widely read and controversial works of contemporary Chinese literature.

                                                        I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a good, thought provoking read. And at the same time gain some basic knowledge of the Cultural Revolution, the laws and class backgrounds (among others) in China. This sort of genre is known as `literature of truth'. It is an autobiography, but more that, it is a story of love. It is about life's struggle, of hope and never giving up. I can honestly say that this has been an inspiring and fruitful read for me.
