Lonely Planet's Samoan Islands & Tonga.......2007-01-10

We found this book to be very helpful and especially appreciated the Conversation/ Essentials in the rear of the book.
We only visited 'Upolu, and the guide gave us important insights about the Samoan culture and etiquette which served us well.
We stayed at Sinalei Reef Resort which we would highly recommend if you are traveling without children, and the restaurant at Coconut's Beach Club was excellent.
This guide is a must if you're going to Samoa and really want to enjoy it to it's fullest.

LP is always very useful.......2006-08-22

I have never liked how LP guides are arranged but have found them to consistantly have the best information [not perfect but better than other guides.] I wish they had not included Tonga as I am not going there and always travel as light at possible. The binding is not condusive to removing unwanted pages but I will remove the Tonga section anyway. I say, 'buy it!' but don't get bent out of shape should some info not prove to be correct.

Sometimes when you read a book like this your desire to go to a place lessens. But not with this one. I am definitely going to Samoa! Get the feeling it will help me there.

Some good ideas and photos but a bit too autobiographical........2001-06-18

Yes, this book does contain many useful items of information concerning the behavior, care and grooming of "Aussies." There are also numerous high quality photos of various champion show dogs. However,the book struck me more as an autobiography of the author, Nell Fox, than as a dedicated and comprehensive guide to the breed. I would suggest purchasing the book but only with the knowledge that much of it serves to sing in praise of the author herself! However,with that said; for those who are especially interested in the history of the breed and in Nell Fox's key role in bringing Aussies to America, this book is a must read.

Must-read for people owned by Aussie Terriers.......1999-11-19

Finally, a book about the Australian Terrier! This spunky breed has deserved its own book for a while now. A great book for anyone who has ever encountered an Australian Terrier.

Outstanding pictures and commentary on the Aussie........1998-08-06

This is one book that is hard to put down. The pictures alone are well worth the price of the book. This book far exceeds Nell's first book on the Aussie.

A Collector's Book.......1998-07-29

It has been 25 years since the last publication in the United States about the Australian terrier. One of the frustrating experiences in the past was to find a book (that was not out of print) about the breed. This solves the problems for the novice to the breed as well as for established kennels. This is a well written, informed, and beautifully illustrated monograph. It should be sent home with each new puppy as a reference on grooming the Aussie, training, history, and showing.

This book is a best buy!

An informative guide to Australian Terriers.......1998-07-22

Nell Fox, the author of Australian Terrier, was a pioneer in the introduction of these dogs to the United States. In her book she tells the facinating history of the breed and adds period photos of interest. Her section on raising a puppy is packed with tips for any breed as well as the specific needs of these terriers. Of interest, this is a high quality printing with knockout graphics.

Book Description

One of Australia's best kept secrets, the Australian Terrier ranks among the world's most loyal working terrier breeds. The country boasts five indigenous pure-bred dogs, and its pride in the Australian Terrier dates back to the nineteenth centure. As both a game earthdog and a devoted family dog, the breed thrives, able to balance its friendly, happy nature with its hard-bitten and rugged appearance. Few breeds of dog can compete with the Australian Terrier's soundness, even disposition and extroveted character.

This book provides insightful chapters on the breed's history, characteristics and temperament, the breed standard as well as puppy selection, house-training, obedience and showing.

This new colorful volume promises to be a welcome addition to the home library and a resource that can be relied upon for years to come.

Great book for the new Aussie Terrier owner!!!.......2007-03-09

This book has been extremely informative about Austrailian Terriers. A new breed for me, it gives information through each chapter of how to be, how to train and what these darling little dogs need and want from a new owner. From coming home the first day to vet trips, training tips, house breaking tips. Just an excellent source of information.

Another Satisfied Customer!.......2007-01-11

I am very pleased with the response time in which ordering, shipping, and receiving was handled. I received the books I ordered in less than a week w/o any problems. I will use this form or purchase again.

Muriel Lee's AUSTRALIAN TERRIER.......2005-08-22

The book is impressive and all Australian Terrier owners should have one. It covers most aspects of the Breed - puppy care, everyday care, health care, training, showing and History. It has lots of colour photos of Australian Terriers in most situations. It is well written, easy to read, and well set out. I especially liked the three consecutive pages which illustrated the Australian Terrier's physical structure, internal organs and skeletal structure, all illustrated on the same dog and very easy to understand.
Grooming is hard to explain in a book - the breeder should give a guidance when selling the puppy. If the dog has a harsh coat (as it should) any shampoo, other than a conditioning one, will do, as I have found with my terriers.
The book has an Index (many books don't!). It is a high quality book, I am really pleased to have a copy.

A Major Disappointment.......2005-04-04

This book has very little specific information about the Aussie and a lot of general dog information better presented in other books. For example, I was looking for grooming information on stripping and was told to ask a breeder. The issue of bathing a hard coated dog was given the answer, bathe the dog as you like.

Book Description

Practically all books written on interior landscape address the needs of home gardeners or the more detailed needs of business owners and researchers. Technicians, trainees, and advanced personnel alike—those who must maintain large interior installations on a commercial level—have not had ready access to information often critical to performing their job successfully. Finally, here is a dictionary specifically compiled for the interior landscape professional. It fills the gap in the literature by covering all terms that apply to interior landscaping. Definitions of more than 1,000 interior landscape terms are listed in alphabetical order for easy access. Each definition is brief but thorough to provide the right depth needed by the working professional. Although terms are described at a level that requires no background in the science of horticulture, the Interior Landscape Dictionary also provides technical terminology for those who require it. Nearly 130 illustrations—including 70 photographs—make it easy to identify specific plants and treatment for various plant diseases and pests. Detailed appendices cover both Latin and common plant nomenclature, pronunciation of Latin names, and lists of additional reading materials for reference. Unlike other botanical dictionaries that have too few illustrations and too many complex definitions, the Interior Landscape Dictionary has the right blend of information and format for the daily needs of interior landscapers. It is a valuable reference source for professionals and trainees in the fields of landscape architecture and management, interior design, horticulture, architecture, and plant science.

Oye, comemierda: el autor es boriqua........2001-04-28

Of course, anyone who has actually read the book will know that Villanueva is from a Puerto Rican family, not a Mexican one.

Not that it matters. This is an important book for anyone in English studies, not just rhetoric & composition. Read it now.

A Mexican who became a success, in spite of the odds!.......2000-07-28

This is a true story of the prejudice that Mexicans and people of color face in school and and in life. Luckily, he found a teacher who understood him, and gave him hope. Today, Victor Villanueva is a leader of his field, but still many people who would accept him if he was white, will not accept him because of his Mexican heritage.
