Biology of Bacilli: Applications to Industry (Free Money Series)

Book Description

Why are these people smiling? Writer Jerry Hopkins came to Thailand for a visit in the 1980s to find out and ended up a permanent resident with a temporary visa-a big, white farang haunting the bars and back alleys of Bangkok. His essays explore the mystery and mayhem of "The Land of Smiles" to hilarious-and sometimes disturbing-effect. Travel with him to a place where water buffaloes are gay, insects are dinner, dildos are lucky charms, and your wildest adolescent fantasies can come true (for a nominal fee).

Review Book Thailand Confidential.......2007-10-07

Been living in Thailand now for about 22 years now.
This book is written by someone with a bit of a naive character,
If you wright a book about Thailand, you should know, how Thai people are,
there are about 4 or 5 different kind of Thai, which I can recognize after they said one word. The author is obviously hanging out with the
wrong kind of people, who are not really Thai, but think they are.
I was hoping for a book with something special, but from my point of view, this book is useless. Nothing new, nothing special, waste of time!

Mark Zwarts Hua Hin.

a knowledgeable insider's look at amazing Thailand.......2006-03-29

Hopkins book is a clear-eyed, knowledgeable, and insightful look at Thailand by an American who's lived there for more than a decade. He captures the crazy charm of the place without falling victim to the romantic haze that falls over most first-time visitors. He still loves it - the street food, the elephants, the women, the bars, the temples, the gentle people and sharp operators, the jungles, cities, and beaches and the all-round intensity and color of the place - but also sees many of its failings. Might very well make you consider retiring there.

Anthology of Modern Informational Graphic Design.......1998-03-09

I liked the depth and breadth of projects for informational graphic design. As a reference in How magazine's 3/98 article on wayfinding systems. I found it better than Edward Tuftes' trilogy of Visual Display..., Visual Explanations..., and Envisioning Info.... I think that this essential reading for a technical oriented designer.

Beautiful, but I was disappointed.......1998-03-05

I own, and like very much, Graphis Diagrams 1. I was dismayed to see examples from Diagrams 1 repeated in Diagrams 2, for no apparent reason. I also was dismayed at the omission, in most cases, of media notes in the project descriptions (which are now separated from the examples, as an index in the back of the book).

Informative.......2001-10-14

My husband & I recently got a kitten & trying to read up as much as we can on his care.. This book takes you through step by step in choosing & caring for a kitten. I found the book very informative but I also found it contradicted some things that other cat care books mention.. Also the book doesn't really give you any information about spaying/neutering but advises you to seek out your vet.

My husband thought the book useful for the most part, but in some ways strict.. Seeming to advise against some things that other cat care authors give allowance for.. such as what type of food the kitten and/or cat should eat.

I would definitly reccomend this book with the advice to let it AND other books be your guide....

LOVED IT, fun,AND informative.......1998-12-12

Mr. Swanson has written a bok that not only ENJOYABLE to read, but FULL of information for 1st time cat owners, "thinking of being" cat owners or even long time cat owners. Great illustrations also. Thank you, Mr. Swanson (and Mr. Dombrowski)

Peaceful Gardens: Transform Your Garden into a Haven ... .......2007-01-11

This is a beautifully inspirational book. It is a wonderful "place" to retreat on a cold or rainy day, or enjoy on the porch when the days are sunny and warm. Even if my gardens are never transformed into the relaxing beauty of those presented, it will remain what I call a "daydream" book. Truly enjoyable and relaxing.

Book Description

Early Mamluk Diplomacy is based on treaties between the Mamluk sultans of Egypt, Baybars (1260-77) and Qalawun (1279-90), and Christian rulers. The General Introduction describes the Arabic literary sources in which these treaties have been transmitted. Their status under Islamic law is examined, followed by a description of negotiation procedures, and an account of diplomatic relations with the Christian powers. Three treaties are with the military orders, four with Beirut, Tripoli, the Latin kingdom and Tyre, and four others with Lesser Armenia, Aragon, the Byzantine Empire and Genoa. Each section has an introduction giving its historical background. The work offers Islamic historians and European medievalists documentary evidence of a kind rare in pre-modern Middle Eastern history, casting light on commercial and social as well as diplomatic relations.

Book Description

The Georgian video and photo artist discusses society's ideals and cliches by transforming pictures of beauties in glossy magazines. Her collage-like images confront the perfect world of fashion models with Barbie dolls and sweet teddy bears which involuntarily evoke childhood memories. By adding these seemingly harmless toys, Kapanadze creates a particular ambiguity and contrast between the idealized world of the grown-ups and the not-so-innocent children's accessories on the other hand.
