Venezia.......2006-11-25

Lovely photos to inspire, interesting history of Italy, lots of cultural info, but for hard information about where to go and what to see, rely on something newer with more detail. You'll miss a lot if this is the only resource you use.

Insight's City Guides combine stunning photography with literate text and a smattering of basic travel information. The Insight Venice guide is worth adding to your bookshelf, but its practical advice is getting a bit long in the tooth and its heft makes it less than ideal as a take-along guide. - Durant Imboden, Venice for Visitors, http://govenice.miningco.co

Book Description

Learn how to prune more than 80 popular plants to get the best display of flowers, foliage, colorful stems, and fruits.Pruning is probably the area of gardening that causes the most anxiety to the average gardener. Many books add to that anxiety with illustrations that show completely different plants from those in the reader's own garden, or directions that use complex terms without explaining them. In contrast, this plant-by-plant guide demonstrates the correct pruning technique for 80 of the most widely planted trees and shrubs, with photographs and instructions that are so clear they will inspire confidence in even the novice gardener. Read The Pruner's Bible to discover:o Basic rights and wrongs about making cuts-with information clearly photographed in step-by-step sequenceo What tools to buy and how to look after them-and how to choose the right tool for each jobo What to do with the prunings-the pros and cons of shredding, burning, bagging, and compostingo How to select young trees and shrubs that will grow into well-shaped specimens-with little or no pruning requiredCovering shrubs, climbers, roses, and ornamental and fruit trees, with separate sections on hedges, topiary, and special techniques, this outstanding guide will remain a bible of pruning for years to come.

A good place to start.......2006-07-26

I bought this book because I am new to gardening, and the house we bought has a number of shrubs that appear to need some tender loving care. I chose this book because of its clear illustrations and instructions on what time of year to prune different things. I like it, and I like the confidence it's given me to prune in an appropriate manner. But I wish it had a larger basic guidelines section. The book is very specific about types of plants, but of course can't list them all, so I find myself stymied when I have a plant that is not in the book -- they're so specific, so my thinking goes that it must matter how I do this, but there are no easy-to-follow general guidelines for "if your plant is not here" situations. I am happy to have this book in my gardening book collection, but next spring I will look for an additional book that has more information about the plants specifically in my yard.

How-To Pictures for Each Type of Plant/Tree.......2006-07-20

This guide to pruning in your home garden is good for beginner and advanced gardener alike. It starts with the basics of why, when, with what tools and how to prune. But the reason I bought it (along with copies for my friends) was that it has for almost every type of plant or tree, a two-page color spread that has a picture of a beautifully pruned specimen (to inspire you toward your goal) and an illustrated diagram of the plant with markings as to where to prune it, along with of course an explanatory but simple narative. I looked at many of the available books on this subject and this is the one to buy. Happy prunning!

Gimme a break.......2007-09-10

I think she ought to take a good hard look in the mirror. She has never worked fulltime, has help every day and has a WEALTHY husband. This is not realistic for the majority of us. There would be nothing Mrs. Sansone could share with me. Let's hope she has enough sense to never write another book. She strikes me as a very arrogant, self-centered woman who is full of herself.

I thought Christians were humble.......2007-07-19

I picked this book up at our library and was, of course, struck by the photo of the beautiful woman on the cover. "She has ten kids? No way!" But I came away from this book disappointed -- for a Christian woman, she seems kind of self-centered and arrogant. She's really good at taking care -- OF HERSELF. I don't know any other one income families where the woman regularly gets manicures, pedicures and expensive haircuts and dye jobs, as well as having her eyebrows waxed, going on weekly date nights and having a babysitter come in during the week to give the kids dinner. And sends all their kids to private school. Even those with smaller families. She comes across as kind of smug and self-righteous, and I'm afraid if I met her I wouldn'lt like her. SHe seems kind of judgmental.

I kept feeling like "Only a man would be impressed by this woman." All this emphasis on how beautiful she is, and how clean her house is. By someone who's had 10 caesareans and still has a flat stomach. By someone who puts her kids in daycare so she can go to the gym. ONly a man would regard this as the proper criteria for judging whether or not someone's a good mother.

Woman First, Family Always.......2007-07-17

Whether we work at home or go to the office everyday, women everywhere perform a delicate balancing act each day. We spend a great deal of time hurrying around trying to get everyone to the appropriate soccer practice or ballet class, ensuring homework is completed, making sure that a somewhat healthy meal is on the table, and trying to make our way through the household clutter all while trying to also being a loving wife, a caring friend, and holding onto a little bit of us. Often, we end up just feeling frustrated, drained, and completely unproductive.

Woman First, Family Always says that the key to being a good mother, wife, and friend is to take a little time for yourself and to recognize when your expectations are just too high. The author is a mother of ten children who has learned through trial and error that if she isn't happy and okay with being herself that she can't possibly be there for anyone else. The really ironic thing about her story is that she seems to have found her life more overwhelming when she only had a couple of children, before she started to take time for herself and ask for help when she needed it.

Fluff...pass.......2007-07-06

I couldn't believe how little this book actually taught me. It mainly repeats things most any Mom knows. I thought the book lacked spirituality, since I bought it at a Christian bookseller. It also has a recipe for veal....what family of 12 can afford veal???? I thought the answer of getting list of babysitters very impractical. I would have loved to see real life examples of her schedule and budget. This has male ghostwriter written all over it.

Great marriage tips.......2007-04-05

There are some really great words of wisdom in this book and some great ideas for family life, especially with regard to marriage. It's clear that the keys to her success as a wife and mother are staying in great shape and having a good outlook on life. However, I think her overall approach to getting so much done and being involved in so much is only doable if you're not nursing your babies.

Exellent writing and research...........2002-11-28

Extremely interesting and informative insight into a fascinating (time)...Much insight into the character of A.Hitler ( and friends)..As an amateur historian i learned much I didnt know..The author wrote without prejudice(s) and merely presented facts..The opinions should be left to the reader...If your interested in this subject you will enjoy the book...

enlightening !clearly the best book about the early years.......2002-08-08

this book is not only incredible for its meticulous detail and unknown information about hitler but its also a social discourse on life in general of the old hapsburg empire and vienna at the turn of the century.the fact that this man was a bum who almost died of sickness and spent a few years sleeping in doorways and parks and was very close to starving but survived to be master of not only a country but a continent and almost the world is just further proof that fact is indeed stranger than fiction. stories about his adventures with many friends who were jewish is astonishing and in direct contradiction to his rantings in mein kampf where he liked to say he became an ant semite in vienna. its not true and suggests that hitler was only bieng an anti semite because it was politically advantageous in a land where anti semitism was widespread. if that is true that makes him even scarier. he was a close friend of a jew named joseph nueman and many of the mens homes he lived in were run by jews. he only liked to do business with jews and it was a jew who helped him from freezing to death by giving him a coat and many jews bought and sold his paintings for him.a very engrossing book for anyone interested in the subject of what shaped hitlers thinking

Summary Review of HITLER IN VIENNA 1907-1913.......1998-02-24

This is a book which gives the reader uncommon insight into what could well be the unseen fermenting origins of the most evil mastermind and destroyer in human history(Adolf Hitler). This detailed account of the degenerate class of life in which Hitler resided at the start of his manhood encompasses a curious mixture of the little-known facts about his obscure poverty, in stark contrast to the series of events revolving around Vienna which led directly to World War I. A positive aspect of this interesting work is the fact that as we witness the tramp and the homeless Hitler, his life is told without omission of detail, and most importantly, it is told independent of any direct comparison to the future leader who would eventually come to rule the Third Reich. A must for those who crave the hidden details beneath the ordinary texts.
