Wildflowers of Tidewater Virginia by Gupton & Swope.......2001-04-29

A 'must-have' little book for anyone living in the Tidewater Area. I have had copy of this small book since 1983 and it is a bible to me and others to whom I have shown it. It is so easy to look up one of those 'weeds by the roadside'. The sections (about ten)are 'bookmarked' by color so if you see something that is red or blue etc just go to pages marked clearly with that color and you WILL find wildflower;good photograph, excellent description. I have given this book as small gift to many friends, they all love it as I do. It will not just sit on your bookshelf so keep it handy to pick up anytime. Highly recommend for novice as well as experienced gardener. There are several other similiar books by same authors, i.e. Wildflowers of Mid Atlantic, Trees and Shrubs of Virginia. Delighted to find it at Amazon, I first went to U. of Va Press where it was published, they did not have and suggested Amazon. Great little book, great little price to pay for so much information.

This was the best tour book ever. It helped my family find all the info we needed for our trip to D.C. We love you mary jane solomon!

Excellent and Informative.......2001-02-16

A must for anyone interested in learning more about the area or are planning a visit. Well written, informative and interesting. My highest recommendation!

Complete - great for newcomers and transplantees.......2000-01-26

I bought this book from Amazon.com before moving to the DC area, and I must say, it has been quite helpful. The information (hours, phone numbers) is still current, and it covers a variety of issues. Whether you're looking for kids' activities of trendy night spots, this book has it all.

If you are moving to the area, and will be without an extended support network initially, I'd recommend buying this book, to provide you with new ideas, and to fill you in on life in general here.

Some drawbacks. The authors definitely love this area; that's great, but I feel they are too optimistic on their neighborhood descriptions. Reading this book, you'd think all of DC and the surrounding areas were safe to live in, but the reality is the opposite. Sometimes they are a bit too "PC" in their descriptions, and this takes away from reality. Additionally, sometimes things are difficult to find in the index.

Overall though, a great buy!

Book Description

Training in No Time supplies the training regimen today's busy lifestyles demand for both owners and their dogs. It makes good use of how dogs learn and explains how to use that knowledge to establish and maintain the responses every dog owner wants.

The Sneakaway is the foundation of this training method. Quite literally, you turn your back and sneak away whenever your dog stops paying attention to you. This method allows for easy teaching and effective problem solving by first focusing your dog’s undivided attention on you, even around the strongest distractions.

Then using daily, subtle clues you give your dog in everyday interactions, you can instill good habits The surest way to get permanent, positive results is to recognize and change the few big ambiguities that allowed problems to surface and to use daily, subtle clues to instill, not destroy, good habits. Behavior is being molded 24 hours a day. This results in consistent, socially acceptable behavior under all circumstances and a well-trained companion dog.

Customer Reviews:

Great advice on training your dog.......2001-06-05

This book offers great, direct non-nonsense advice on training your dog. Especially valuable are the "sneakaways" to focus your pet's attention (it really works!). This is a training book for people who want to get as much done as possible in a moderate amount of time.

Simple, effective dog training.......2005-06-24

I took this book out of the local library and I found it so helpful I will be buying my own copy.
The text is very clear and simply expressed. It is possible to sit down and read the book from cover to cover without being overwhelmed, but if you want to just dip into it the chapter headings make it easy to find the information you need and there is also an index. The first part deals with general training of a new puppy and the later chapters deal with specific problems.
The authors give you an insight into dog psychology and their training philosophy makes a lot of sense.
The book has attractive and useful illustrations which help explain points made in the text.

Book Description

This issue examines citywide and cross-city initiatives in after-school time. It presents case studies of youth-related work that combines large-scale policy, developmental thinking, innovative programming, and research and evaluation. The most interesting after-school efforts occur where community-based organizations are joining forces, sharing funding and other resources, and jointly creating a system of after-school care and education. This issue illustrates that good urban after-school programming fosters youth development by breeding a city environment that is safe, supportive, and open.

A Color Handbook of Biological Control in Plant Protection
Neil Helyer; Kevin Brown; Photographer-Nigel D. Cattlin
Manufacturer: Timber Press, Incorporated
ProductGroup: Book
Binding: Hardcover
ASIN: B000MBXD4M

Book Description

The present work is an investigation of the Indo-Tibetan ritual for consecrating images, stupas, books and temples. It is based on a thorough examination of the relevant Tibetan textual material contained in Tantras, commentaries, ritual manuals and explanatory works on consecration. As rituals are meant to be performed, this textual study is combined with observations of performances and interviews with performers. The book opens with a general discussion of certain principles of tantric rituals and the foundations of Indo-Tibetan consecration. The main part focuses on a specific performance of the ritual in a Tibetan monastery located in the Kathmandu Valley. This volume contributes to the often neglected field of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist rituals. It is concerned with the sacred nature of objects for worship as well as with the main Buddhist tantric transformation into a chosen tantric Buddha.
