DISAPPOINTED.......2001-06-09

NEEDED SOME PHOTOGRAPHS. I STILL COULDN'T DEFINITELY IDENTIFY POISON IVY, OAK OR SUMMAC. BUT I DID KNOW I HAD FOUND IT WHEN I BROKE OUT.

This is NO Field Guide, pictues are poor.......2000-09-01

I was looking for a book to help identify the different poison ivy, oak, and sumac, against the "lookalikes" like the desciption indicates. This book was written for a 10 year old with NO color pictures, and the pictures are nothing more than poor hand drawn sketches. Not at all a "Field Guide".

essential guide for children and adults.......2000-01-27

This is an essential guide to poison ivy, oak and sumac and their lookalikes prevalent from East to West Coast, with cautionary tales which we can relate to, important information on increasing toxicity with each new contact, & illustrations helpful in distinguishing leaf types at all seasons.

I am very allergic to poison ivy and this book made it possible for me to understand every phase of this plant. I also found the writing very enlightening and easy to understand. I highly recommend this book.

Book Description

With enough heart-pumping activities, from abseiling to paragliding, as well as more relaxed outings to beaches, vineyards and museums, Cape Town easily fills an extended visit. But many, if not most, visitors venture much further east, out along the Garden Route, whose enticements include some of the best land-based whale-watching in the world, crashing seascapes, dappled forests and, at its culmination, lions and elephants in the best game reserve in the southern half of the country. The Rough Guide to Cape Town and the Garden Route is the definitive guide to Cape Town, its stunning environs (including Table Mountain, Cape Point, the Winelands and the Whale Coast) and the Garden Route all the way to Port Elizabeth and the Addo Elephant National Park.

Book Description

Contrasting the views of Native Americans and European Americans, this book provides a fresh look at the rhetoric behind the westward movement of the American frontier. From George Armstrong Custer and Andrew Jackson to Helen Hunt Jackson, the volume gives the views of well-known Anglo-Americans and contrasts them with views of such well-known Native Americans as Metacom, Sitting Bull, Tecumseh, and Black Hawk. Organized around major subthemes regarding the land, who should own it, and what ownership means, the book traces the rhetoric of the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, then covers current issues in the words of Oren Lyons, Vine Deloria Jr., and Senator Slade Gorton. The core of the debate in this volume is the taking of the continental United States from native peoples by European immigrants. In chapters revolving around major subthemes, the book develops biographies of significant figures in the history of a continent changing hands. What was George Armstrong Custer's view of Native American culture? How did this view contrast with that of his contemporary and antagonist at the Little Big Horn, Sitting Bull? This book is the first to present and contract the views on both sides of the debate.

Very Good Text For MBA International Marketing Course.......2006-08-17

I don't understand how people could complain about this book being too complex, poorly-written, or poorly organized. Everything is presented clearly and logically, and the case studies are relevant and interesting. I found it simple to read, informative, enlightening, and actually fun for the most part. My only criticism is that the authors don't, in my opinion, give an entirely neutral treatment of some of the politically-charged issues raised in their book. It seemed as though they would sometimes more heavliy emphasize one point of view (their point of view, quite obviously) over others.

Not as bad as others are saying!.......2006-06-20

I purchased this book for an International Marketing course I had to take for my MBA Program. I have to disagree with what I have read about in other reviews - I found this book easy to read, and simple to understand. The examples used help clarify concepts and I felt the book was well organized. I especially liked the Country Notebook section in the back of the book. It was the perfect course-long project to apply the concepts and knowledge we learned about in class. I feel that this book is just about as good as an International Marketing MBA textbook can get!

Knowledgeable authors-boring writing.......2005-12-14

I took an International Business class for my MBA. I read every chapter in this book. There was a lot of knowledge included but there is often too much wordy writing and the book drones on. The definitions need to be in the margins. The last chapters are more of a cross cultural study of doing business with Japanese. It was a boring read-but good before bedtime for those that do not fall asleep easily.

Wordy, poorly organized, requires significant supplements.......2005-06-15

I used this book in an MBA International Marketing course. The text is a very cumbersome read. While the book contains adequate anecdotal information, the information is poorly organized and often fails to engage the reader. I routinely found myself searching for more concise supplemental materials for concepts the book failed to develop. The narratives are extremely wordy and consistently obfuscate salient points. If I were using the book as an instructor, I would use the country notebook section as a course guide and scrap the rest.

The Upholsters's Dictionary.......2001-01-03

As an Upholsterer's Dictionary it is a good book and rather thorough.There are endless detailed sketches of the equipment Upholsterers use,a glossary of common terms ,information about exhibitions and Fairs etc. However,it isn't a "how-to" book. There are no step-by-step projects or photographs. This is a very technical book,a guide to wanna-be upholsterers rather than a guide to anyone who simply wants to experience the joys of a home-made redo.

A unique and welcome legacy of life.......2001-05-21

A pioneer of the vaudeville era, an accomplished stage actor and dancer, and appearing in more than forty films, Jack Haley was one of Hollywood's most successful and beloved actors. His role as the Tin Man in "The Wizard of Oz" secured his place in the annals of movie history and in the hearts of movie fans through the ensuing generations. What is not so well known is that Haley spent much of the last years of his life compiling information and writing commentaries on the life of an entertainer in the early days of vaudeville before the emergence of radio and television. Haley was involved in the first all talking movie and an active participant in Hollywood's "Golden Age" and friend to a legion of Hollywood luminaries from Jackie Gleason, Ed Sullivan, and Lucille Ball, to Judy Garland, Liza Minelli, and Ray Bolger. All of these writings is now published and available to the reading public in Heart Of The Tin Man and represent a unique and welcome legacy of his life and memory that will enrich and inform any study of Hollywood history in general, and the life and times of Jack Haley in particular.
