Dog Dilemmas -- Great Advice and Hilarious!.......2005-06-04

Everyone who coexists with canines should read this book! It's not only about dog behavior and understanding it -- it's about human behavior. And it's funny! This book is the perfect combination of how to modify behavior (theirs and ours) and laugh-out-loud situations and one-liners. Even if you (and your dog) don't have behavioral problems, you can learn something from this book that will enhance the whole canine/human relationship. My four misfit mutts have already benefited from Dr. Sampson's advice!

Book Description

During the past one hundred years, thousands of trademarked fragrances have competed in the marketplace. Here are over 1000 examples, most of which have not appeared in previous books on the subject.

Spanning early examples and every decade of the 20th century, Commercial Fragrance Bottles covers a representative assortment-from the rare to the whimsical. Once it is published, Commercial Fragrance Bottles will become one of the standard books in the large, enthusiastic field of perfume bottle collecting.

Customer Reviews:

Enjoyable read but very simplistic........2004-03-02

The author glosses over the computer use of applications which he recommends. A book written for this level of computer user should be written cook book style: First, perform this step; then perform this step; then . . . .

PLease note that this rating applies to the book, only. I purchased it used from Discount Books and would give that vendor five stars for their service.

If you have never touched a computer before..........2003-07-28

This book is an in-depth exploration of the vast possibilities available to the person who wants the ultimate garden gadget: the home computer. But it doesn't actually let you DO anything. It tells you the difference between hardware and software, how to buy a computer, what the parts of a computer are (ie, keyboard, mouse, modem), what an operating system is, what a spreadsheet is, the questions to ask when looking for software, and a lot of other stuff. It introduces the www on page 86. The included CD-ROM contains 60 shareware and freeware programs that do not allow you to print or save whatever you may design, and in some cases only allow you to explore the possibilities of design on a set imaginary property, not your own. You can get a decent feel for a broad range of software options without buying 60 different programs, but if you are already reading this and have heard of Google, it is a waste of [$$$] (cover price) and 95 cubic inches of paper. A great gift for the recently retired gardner with some money and land and no idea how to use a computer.

An accompanying CD-ROM includes more than 60 programs.......2001-02-16

Bob Boufford's The Gardener's Computer Companion combines gardening and home computing to offer the reader everything necessary to convert their personal computer into a powerful gardening resource. From designing and planning a garden, to automating a watering system, to finding gardening products and information on the World Wide Web. The Gardener's Computer Companion's informative text is superbly enhanced with an accompanying CD-ROM that includes more than 60 programs, such as software for Landscape design, planning and garden simulating; reference databases of plants, herbs, flowers, and chemicals; garden-related games and stories; garden calculators and cataloging programs; planners, journals, organizers and useful computer utilities. If you have a garden and a computer, then you need The Gardener's Computer Companion.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.......2000-08-06

Whether you are a computer professional or computer neophyte, if you want to learn how a computer can help you become a better gardener, The Gardener's Computer Companion is the book for you. Author Bob Boufford's use of gardening analogies to explain technical topics, such as how computers work, are clever and enjoyable. While the knowledgeable computer user may be bored by some of the chapters, he/she will find the index of gardening Internet sites, as well as the discussion on Internet providers and services useful.

Unfortunately, this book may naively lead the computer neophyte into believing that designing your garden on the computer is child's play and a computer will solve all of your gardening problems. While a computer is a wonderful tool and the Internet is a fabulous source of information, life isn't so simple. Many computer aided software packages are difficult to learn and, no software or Internet site can replace the knowledge one acquires from years of hands on gardening. He also neglects to point out the tremendous number of hours it sometimes takes to resolve computer glitches, not to mention the headaches involved with sophisticated projects like monitoring your garden with a video camera. Remember the old axiom, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."

Nevertheless, this book is enjoyable and informative. It provides practical advice regarding how the average person can become a better gardener with help from their computer. It also provides a glimpse of what is possible, although perhaps not practical.

A basic computer primer light on the garden........1999-10-23

A third of this book is devoted to basic computer concepts that can be learned elsewhere(and better). The garden part is a collection of freeware, shareware, and sample programs many DOS based. Not worth the money

Book Description

"Years pass. They pile up like pages in a book. Everything goes unpunished. I have to scream."

—Daniel Hernández-Salazar

How does an artist respond to the horrors of war and the genocide of his or her people? Can art play a role in the fight for justice? These are key questions for understanding the work of Guatemalan photographer Daniel Hernández-Salazar. Since the 1980s, Hernández-Salazar has created both documentary and aesthetic works that confront the state-sponsored terrorism and mass killings of Guatemala's long civil war (1962-1996). His photographic polyptych (4-panel image) "Clarification" became the icon for the Recovery of Historical Memory project of the Archbishopric of Guatemala, as well as a rallying symbol for Guatemalans. Broadening his crusade for justice in the twenty-first century, Hernández-Salazar is now also using the shouting angel of his polyptych (entitled "So That All Shall Know") to challenge the forgetting and/or erasure of painful history in many parts of the world, including Mexico, Japan, the United States, Canada, and Argentina.

So That All Shall Know is a powerful, comprehensive overview of the work of Daniel Hernández-Salazar on recent Guatemalan history. Portfolios of images present his early photojournalistic work documenting the Guatemalan genocide; his Eros + Thanatos series that responds aesthetically to the destruction of war; and his Street Angel project, which uses his image "So That All Shall Know" to protest against injustice and historical forgetting around the world. Accompanying the images are bilingual English-Spanish essays by four scholars who discuss the development of Hernández-Salazar's art in the context of contemporary photography, the social and political conditions that inspire his work, and the broader questions that arise when artists engage in social struggle.

Introduced by Nobel Peace Laureate Rigoberta Menchú Tum, So That All Shall Know is a moving testament to the horrors of genocide and the power of art to give voice to the silenced and presence to the disappeared.

Literally, it's a list of 50 sentences about Carlos Mencia, and a few of them are repetitive (one "thing" is that Carlos has 18 brothers and sisters; another "thing" is that he has 11 sisters and 7 brothers - we could have done the math and skipped the first "thing'). Check out the original magazine's website - why buy the cow when you can get the milk...
