Not Bad--But Needs Updated.......2006-08-19
My family and I just returned from our first trip to Disney World. (It was as blast!) Because it was our first time and we were essentially clueless to the Disney experience, we bought several guides.
The 2004 version of The Everything Family Guide was one of five guides that we bought, but after the initial perusal, I didn't even look at it. Instead, I find myself drawn to the Birnbaum guide with its colorful, glossy pages and The Unofficial Guide to Disney World 2006 which is a critical, analytical treatment of just about everything.
Don't get me wrong: author Jason Rich is pretty thorough. It's just that nothing gets any critical remarks (although there's a star system rating likely appropriateness of attractions to age groups), and it's hard to tell what's really "not to be missed" (even though he makes recommendations).
Not only that, even though it's a 2004 edition, it already needs updating. Expedition Everest, the Lights, Motors, Actions! Stunt Show, and other newer attractions are mentioned as "upcoming", but hadn't yet debuted before publication. I get the feeling that the Stitch's Great Escape (which replaced the Alien one) hadn't debuted yet, either, yet he ranked this ride "not to be missed". (Everyone I talked to--and every review of this attraction I've read on the internet--describe this as an AWFUL attraction. No one likes it!)
Also, he mentions attractions that are no longer there--like Tarzan Rocks. There is no mention of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (MGM), Mickey's PhilHarmagic (the best 3D show in all the parks), Test Track (Epcot- The Land) or Crush's Turtle Talk (Epcot-The Seas)--further showing that this book should be updated YEARLY in order to be relevant for visitors.
So if you'd like an overview of Walt Disney World in a gentle, upbeat tone--including restaurant and hotel overviews--this is not a bad guide. Yet, I only consulted it once, preferring the other guides over this one.

A must read!!!.......2003-11-15
Find this book! If you can't find it then borrow it or find a copy! This book is awesome! Yes I am an Ayrton Senna fan. I bought my original copy wich is still in pristine shape for 36 Canadian dollars in 1996. I would not sell it for 500 $ American dollars!!! This an awesome book of the techniques of motor racing, technical and sportlike! And then, it goes a lot further than that... It gives us stunning Grand prix pictures of Senna and F1 in general. For the pics alone it is easily worth it. It also gives a great a fantastic scholarly and "I do it this way" how to of motor racing. But the best parts are how Ayrton prepares for not only a race, but a season, a championship, and life in general. Senna was a truely analytical, psychoanalytic, and spiritious person. His wrtings remind me of FReud and JUng. Yes, he is that deep and well thought out! He is special, intellectual and combative. And charismatic. Read the last chapter on preparation and psychology and you will be moved. I wish he would have survived, not to race, but to enlighten us. He was, well special.

More than just a how to race book!.......2003-03-25
Yes, it is an invaluable book on the "Principles of Race Driving." It will help all drivers (not just racing drivers) become better drivers. It does this using a clear and fascinating text with copious diagrams. It is, however, also a look at the mind of one of the greatest racing drivers of all time, witnessed through his thoughts as he writes.
Not just for drivers, but for racing fans everywhere and not just Formula 1 but all types of fans.
A classic book that does not come along every day from a classic driver that also does not come along every day.
I've read mine many times and would recommend it to all race fans.
Read closely to get the best of it!.......2002-12-02
"I want to drive faster, but I don't know how!"
It's the eternal question. If you think this book is a manual to do this: you're wright. If you think it will sum up wich button in your car to push, or wich lever to pull to become a world champion, it won't. Dissapointed? Don't be. What this book will teach you is much more valuable. It deals with everything you need to know to be faster than anyone, and gives you the rules of the game. Throughout the book Ayrton Senna states his view on all subjects wich is valuable. It covers what the title claims: "The principles of race driving",steering, braking, corners, overtaking, the lot. All this makes this book a must for everyone serious about motorracing. And something to read, read again, and again, and again.
The racing bible.......2000-09-09
I will say this is the bible for racers. The chapter on choosing the best racing line is very nice. And that is the most universal part for any kind of racers besides F1. However, some parts like gear selection and car setup was not what I expected. I expected to see something mroe technical like calculation of definite gear ratios you need with formulas... Anyway, it's a good book with nice photos. You won't regret for buying it. But if you are looking for a Senna biography, you are at the wrong place.
An excellent overview.......2000-03-21
Of the "celebrity" racing manuals this one is the best. I've found it invaluable in the detail it goes into in certain areas that many racing schools brush over. I recommend it over the Alain Prost book.
Book Description

Customer Reviews:
Not enough.......2005-09-24
I found the information somewhat outdated most explanations in the book are better done elsewhere. The book deals with offroad recovery situations most fourwhelers will never experience. I suggest going to a basic offroad "live" class and forget this book.
Recovery.......2005-09-21
The book was a little disappointing. It covered the topic and had some very detailed number crunching charts. But for the money Four-Wheeler's Bible is just as good on recovery and has many other topics for the same price.
Author's comments.......2002-01-23
I was interested to see a number of comments. I realise that it may be complicated and strove not to make it dependant on maths. What prompted me to put the book together was a collection of briefing and lecture notes that I had created while running my small company and giving instruction. I was acutely conscious of some glaring health and safety failings on the part of many people undertaking off-road (ie emergency) style recoveries. In the main it is not intended to be a collection of 'if you are stuck like this photos' and this again was a conscious decision because of the enormously wide variety of situations that could occur. In any case the understanding behind such a picture would still be necessary otherwise the learning point would be reduced.
My main target was to give people a feel and understanding of what may be involved in any situation and loads on winches and materials, what the ground could support, and so on is fairly crucial. This also involves bridging in which the scope for fatal disaster is extremely high.
The tables at the end are sufficent to enable someone to work out almost anything without a calculator, so long as paper and a pencil available. Not that I necessarily would do that but in the middle of nowhere with a vehicle up to its axles in mud or across a ravine making sure that nothing too hazardous is attempted should be common sense.
I was guided by the publishers to a certain extent who felt that it didn't need significant re-presentation. I had also produced a laminated quick reference card but this wasn't practically publishable. This is still available by special request.
I am pleased that most people have gained something constructive and hope that at least a few dangerous situations have been avoided.
Disappointing.......2001-01-11
I expected more practical tips for getting out of odd situations. I finished the book thinking I should add an engineering calculator to my toolbox--and not feeling like I got many useful ideas. A careful read would provide practical information, I'm sure, but my eyes glazed over at all the math and physics, before I got much benefit.
Cole gives good safety information, and recommends a very comprehensive toolkit (weighing in at almost 200 lbs. excluding winch). His gadgets and tricks are well suited to four-wheeling in his native, deforested England, where it's hard to find a tree to winch to.
It's good to understand a few principles behind winching, but a little algebra goes a long way. (Did you know that two pickets driven 1 meter into undisturbed earth, spaced 1 to 2 meters apart, inclined away from the load at 15 degress, should hold a pull of 1810 kilograms? Do you care? See page 15.)
I'd rather see a cookbook approach with photos: "Is your vehicle stuck like this? Then do this!" If it were written by an instructor at one of the 4x4 camps, I think it would be successful.
Product Description

Customer Reviews:
Garden Decor Rocks.......2004-10-01
This book really showed me how to use decorative painting on tht outside of my home. I loved the the patterns in the book that can be enlargened for those who are afraid to "Free Hand" paint. One of the best parts is showing how to take "essential" items such as trash cans, fences, and clay pots and turn them into works of art. It also contains an excellent step by step of painting a realist bunny. I was amazed on how easily it was accomplished.
Same stuff.......2004-03-24
Just another Donna Dewberry book with the same designs painted on different surfaces. I was very disappointed that there was nothing new offered in this book.
Book Description
Bestselling author, Paula Pryke, has written this flower arranging book to work the way that most people usually buy or receive flowers--bunch by bunch. If you are given a dozen red roses or a bunch of tulips, this book will show you a choice of stunningly original arrangements using them as a starting point. Each chapter celebrates a flower in turn, progressing from simple bunches and posies to large-scale displays that combine a range of different flowers and foliage. This beautiful book will be a source of inspiration and instruction to anyone who loves flowers and wants to discover new ways to arrange them.
Book Description
A fresh take on a popular topic: bringing the outdoors in.
This book presents fresh, modern crafts to make with your own garden flowers or store bought flowers and garden greenery. There is a wide variety of projects, including dried florals, herb decorations, mosaic, decoupage, and nature printing.
Traditional crafts get a modern feel from the vibrant color choices, mod patterns and fun streamlined shapes. These "nature crafts" could be used as gifts or decorating accents for the home.
Customer Reviews:
High Quality Crafting Book.......2002-12-30
The authors blend together a very inspired combination of modern crafting techniques and garden beauty. All of the projects display 'class' and use high quality materials, not a country looking craft in sight in this book. One of my pet peeves with many craft books is the tendency to try and use stuff from around the house (like tin cans or off looking fabric scraps). To me these things just end up looking like cheap stuff put together with a glue gun. If I'm going to invest my time in crafting I want it to look pleasing and delicate to the eye when finished. I want people to say 'where did you find that!' instead of 'oh, it looks like you've been busy'.
My favorites were seed cards, woven lavender candle cuffs and a whole section entitle 'Garden Spa' with very clever ideas including herbal blend bath teas, a sage bolster and a petal potpourri tea-light holder.
The authors have a delicate touch. A perfect match for incorporating the simple beauty of the garden into handmade items.
