    5 out of 5 stars     Doyle's Guide to Trinidad, Tobago and Barbados.......2003-09-08

    This guide is another superb resource for cruising sailors from Chris Doyle. Thirty five years of living on a boat while collecting and updating information about sailing in the eastern Caribbean have honed Doyle's ability to include essential details about everything a cruising sailor might want or need.

    In this guide for Trinidad, Tobago and Barbados, the combination of detailed charts as well as aerial photos with navigational overlays provides a clear picture of how to get in and out of every harbor safely. For each port there is a wealth of information on the nearest supplies and services for repairs and replacements of the zillion things that might go awry or get dropped overboard when living and traveling on a boat.

    Doyle's affection for both the islanders and their environment is reflected in his enthusiastic descriptions of the many places and (and proprietors) to visit while on shore. In addition to details about how to get to and from grocery stores, restaurants, laundry facilities, etc., there are many descriptions of wonderful places to explore on foot or by dinghy. This is particularly helpful in these islands where one needs ideas on where to begin to see the amazing wealth of natural wildlife.

    Best of all, the guide is well-written, easy to follow and fun to read.

      Book Description

      In Amazeing Art, Christopher Berg showcases an astonishingly beautiful series of mazes depicting the wonders of the ancient world. From Stonehenge to the Colossus of Rhodes, he matches each with a capsule history that explains its background, and brilliantly evokes its mystery and significance. Fun, fascinating, and educational, Amazeing Art contains thirty-five mazes and their solutions printed on special easy-to-erase paper for the determined maze-solver.

      Customer Reviews:

      5 out of 5 stars Simply marvelous!.......2002-04-19

      I love it!
      The combination of fun mazes and interesting text is unique, exciting, fun, entertaining.
      My 6 year old daughter immediately tried out the mazes. (And I did too!)
      Excellent for children and grown-ups!

      5 out of 5 stars Good book for maze enthusiasts.......2002-04-04

      This book is both unusual and perfectly suited for maze enthusiasts. There's nothing quite like it! It would make a perfect present for the right person.

      5 out of 5 stars Amazeingly novel book!.......2001-12-08

      This book is incredibly original and inspirational. The author's enthusiasm for beautiful mazes is highly contagious. Anyone who likes cool ideas and puzzles (or just want to know the difference between a labyrinth and a maze) should take a look at this book.

      5 out of 5 stars Art, history, and wonder.......2001-10-20

      Amazeing Art combines graphic art portraits of about 30 architectural marvels of the ancient world with vivid, detailed accounts of their histories. And each masterful drawing is, unbelievably, a maze. There is a lot of text in the book, written with an infectious passion for the mysteries of the buildings and sculptures drawn beside them. It's hard not to get hooked and develop a sense of awe at the achievements of these old civilizations.

      The book is properly titled "Amazeing Art," not "Artistic Mazes." The ingenuity of the drawings rivals pen-and-ink artists like M.C. Escher, so the book is not just for maze-doers. It's for parents who enjoy some intelligent, diversionary reading--and for their children old enough to tackle challenging mazes. (In many families, it's the kids who will read and the adults who will play.) It's educational for both, with pictures and histories of the Sphinx, a Phoenician ship, the Tower of Babylon, the Parthenon, the Colossus of Rhodes, and many other masterpieces from Egypt, Mesopotamia, Anatolia, Greece, and Rome, including the treasures of the Hittites, the Trojans, the Ephesians, and other peoples. There's a lot to learn here, and the learning is great fun--if you can take your eyes of the drawings.

      5 out of 5 stars A tasty mix of mazes, labyrinths, and ancient mysteries.......2001-10-15

      This book is fun and different! The mazes were beautiful and tricky, and hard to do (I couldn't solve them all). The stories that went with them were filled with all kinds of fascinating tales and little known secrets about ancient civilizations. Especially the story of the Egyptian Labyrinth, which was a long-lost architectural wonder that ancient historians said was more impressive than the Pyramids. Super interesting!

            4 out of 5 stars A solid book, and a solid concept.......2007-08-25

            This is a very solid book. I took a class provided by the company the authors either work for or own (I read the book as well). This was a tremendous gift for me to read this. Much of what prevents both businesses and individuals from reaching their potential is fear. This book deals with the very issues that commonly hold us back, and gives logical solutions to those issues. I learned things from this book that I was able to implement in my life that changed my personal and professional life for the better. I don't agree with every concept in here. However, I do have to admit that I was able to look at my life from a different perspective after I read this. I used concepts in this book (as well as the bible and other books) to challenge myself to get my nursing degree (which really helped the company that originally sent me to this), buy a home, and become a better husband. I might add that my company's production went way WAY up after a group from our clinic took this class (which is just the book in lecture format). No, I'm not saying this book will take all your problems away. I am saying that some of the concepts in here can only benefit an individual/company's life if implemented with a real desire to improve.

            5 out of 5 stars Review of Play To Win.......2007-02-13

            One of the best business books ever written. Awesome insights which should be read over & over by anyone desirous of running a successful business.

            5 out of 5 stars Wonderful for Self-Development.......2006-06-15

            No matter your business - corporation, sole propietor, financial, education - or your role within that business - owner, manager, new hire - this book can help you grow within that role. Not only can it help you professionally, but also personally. As a corporate trainer, I recommend it in all my management classes as well as to those who come to me for career coaching. It's a great, quick and powerful read.

            5 out of 5 stars Choosing growth over fear........2004-02-18

            This great book by Larry Wilson is all about choosing growth over fear. It's about the miracle of personal development and no one knows more about personal development than Larry Wilson.Playing to Win is a soup to nuts approach to personal development as only Larry Wilson can do.Are you playing it a little bit too safe? What is that costing you? Read Playing to Win. It may revolutionize your whole life as it has mine. Outstanding book.

            4 out of 5 stars Falls short in some aspects.......2003-04-07

            The message of the book is very easy to understand. It boils down to not having fear or letting fear and emotions control our reactions. Always STOP, CHALLENGE and CHOOSE in the face of crisis. Stop to think. Challenge your moment's thoughts and reactions. Choose the optimal course of action. The definition of the author for winning is lovely indeed: to do the best that one can with all that one has.

            Now, in terms of implementation, there is a lot of space devoted to the what, but barely one chapter devoted to the how to put the book's ideas in practice, although it's fair to say that there's a good number of examples and cases brought forward. The second to last chapter is dedicated to putting together a Statement of Purpose, followed by a Vision and a plan to set it all in motion, but I can't help remembering the level of detail that Stephen Covey goes into in his book "The 7 Habits..." when discussing this same topic, and this is one that he covers early on in his book, devoting the rest of it to ways to make it happen.

            All in all, it feels like a useful Step 1 book, whose key message (STOP, CHALLENGE and CHOOSE) is helpful to have present at all times, but not a book that will help make a huge step in changing your life for the long term: it falls short in some aspects, which is why I recommend Stephen Covey's work more.

                3 out of 5 stars Disappointed.......2001-09-21

                I was a bit diappointed with the Cherished Teddies Collector Value Guide. The values are over-estimated, compared to E-bay and other secondary markets. There is not much in the way of information. All the Cherished Teddies are not in there. Basically just a lot of pictures, with release dates and price list. Contains sections for keeping records, and information about insurance. Nice to look at for wish list. A "fast food" approach to collecting. I would like to see more about the artwork, history, and what makes some Cherished Teddies more valuable.

                5 out of 5 stars Very Handy.......2001-03-28

                This book is handy for organizing your collection, and a MUST for any collector! It was essential in determining how much insurance coverage we should add when we married. Also, I have found it to be extremely handy for spotting Rare Bears and retired pieces, and the book has been a useful tool in online auctions.

                3 out of 5 stars cherished teddies.......2000-10-26

                this book was not as informative as i thought it may be. I have an older book by a different author, and it gives a higher value and any rarities or varations that a teddie may have.. It's an OK book but i would have liked more info..

                5 out of 5 stars CHerished Teddies 2000 Collector's Value Guide.......2000-07-12

                The book was complete and compact. It seemed to have the most up to date information related to if a piece is retried, ect. I also enjoyed being able to write in my collections value and which pieces I have in my collection. I find this book to be helpful in biding for auctions ect.

                4 out of 5 stars Big Help.......2000-03-28

                This book was a big help when I tried to see how much my collection is worth. Some of it was a little hard to follow though. Some teddies look like their in hte wrong place and some of the picturs are small and fuzzy.

                4 out of 5 stars Nice guide in doll blue book format!.......2006-12-07

                Nice guide, buy a more updated book than the 1992 version for better updating in prices!

                4 out of 5 stars Wonderful Source for Santa Collectors.......2000-04-06

                I have been collecting Santa for years without even knowing it! I just liked them and bought several a year. Finally, realizing that I was wondering what the value of my collection was and starting to bid at auctions for them made me look for a comprehensive book of prices and values. Santa Dolls & Figurines is that book! I am able to find antiques as well as contemporary Santas and the historical significance of Santa around the world. An excellent source for Santa collectors!

                  Book Description

                  Here's a fully revised edition of this regional bestseller- considered to be the definitive food gardening manual for the Pacific Northwest. This is the bible of vegetable gardening for anyone turning the soil west of the Cascade Mountains-from Western British Columbia to Northern California. It includes the basics of soil, when best to plant, the art of composting, what varieties grow well here, which seed companies are reliable, information on handling pests, and an extensive section on the cultivation of each vegetable.

                  Most of the previous reviews contained all the information about this book you'll need to make your decision to purchase or not to purchase.

                  Without a doubt I concider this my best gardening book. And just wanted to get my five stars posted and bow to the author for a great work! Thanks, Steve.

                  5 out of 5 stars A book that will be referenced over and over again.......2006-04-09

                  The first time I read this book, I glazed over the section on soils (too involved - I originally thought). The rest of the book was far more interesting since I was more concerned about the best watering techniques, laying out the garden, organic methods, specific instructions for different crops, etc. Since then I've read the soils section at least a half dozen times and am astounded at how simple the formulas are and what a difference it can make. This is a book that will be referenced over and over again.

                  4 out of 5 stars Recent OSU Master Gardener Graduate.......2006-03-24

                  I recently completed OSU's Master Gardener course and this title was recommended as supplemental reading. Further enticed by Amazon's low price, I purchased it and found it to be a very comprehensive and informative handbook for our unique maritime climate here in the Northwest. Unfortunately, most books about gardening are written for regions with more cooperative weather than our constant November-March rains and our extended winter periods where we never see the sun. How refreshing to read information that is relevant to where we live, written by someone who has personally compiled data on test gardens and founder of the wonderful Territorial Seed Company (www.territorial-seed.com).

                  That being said, I will add that while the author's personal asides were occasionally amusing, I found him mostly self-congratulatory and sometimes downright insulting. I also found his extended passages about taking on the 'plant's point of view' and the "magic" of the garden (he suggests that some people are able to make homespun soil amendments work by sheer force of will, much like Dumbo's magic feather) completely irrelevant and frankly quite ridiculous. It was these digressions and others like them throughout the book that has prevented me from giving the book five stars. As has been noted by other reviewers, the author uses a 1000 sq foot garden as his standard, a highly unlikely proposition in a city garden. Obviously the techniques described in the book would be no different if applied to a smaller garden, or could easily be scaled back.

                  4 out of 5 stars The one essential book for the Northwest vegetable garden........2006-03-23

                  Steve Solomon, who founded Territorial Seed Company in 1980, is arguably the world's leading authority on non-commercial-scale organic vegetable gardening in the Pacific Northwest. Mr. Solomon has experimented with all of the variables in vegetable gardening, in our mild Maritime climate, and he reports the results with an admirable degree of honesty and integrity. His book - plus the Territorial Seed catalog - is all that's needed to achieve excellent garden results (for the first few years) with the least input of capital and labor.

                  That said, I've gardened in Seattle for 15 years, and Mr. Solomon's book has two serious flaws:

                  1. As other reviewers have noted, Mr. Solomon is dismissive of city gardening on a 200 or 400-square-foot plot. The city gardener must sift through many chapters of advice that applies only to homestead gardens of 1/2 acre or more.

                  2. After a few years the organic gardener will begin to experience mysterious crop failures - seeds that fail to germinate. Mr. Solomon attributes this failure to symphylan infestation - I suspect that soil-borne seed pathogens (Pythium, Rhizoctonia, etc.) may also play a part - but in any case, this book does not offer any viable solution for the CITY gardener. We city gardeners can hardly afford to garden on only half of our too-small plot, leaving the other half fallow for 3 or 4 years, waiting for the soil to return to equilibrium. (The Seattle Tilth trial gardens have suffered this fate, with no solution in sight.)

                  2 out of 5 stars Communist Nonsense.......2000-07-13

                  While the horticultural information is minimally valuable, the communist anti-capitalist quackery contained herein is worthless and wrong. Much better books are available such as the Vegetable Gardeners Bible by Edward C. Smith expanding on the deep wide bed philosophy of the French Intensive Method and Square Foot Gardening by Mel Bartholomew which replaces commercial techniques with one based on providing food for a single family. Add a Rodale book on organic gardening and you will have all the information you need without the moralistic communist anti-profit preaching of Mr. Solomon.

                  5 out of 5 stars Growing Vegetables West of the Cascades really works!.......2000-05-22

                  In composing a review of a book we've used constantly & incessantly over the years, my husband murmured that I should describe our copy. Wherever we've found a portion that pertains to our patch of earth in a valley on the edges of a National Forest, I've stashed a marker. Sometimes it's an emery board, a letter from England, pages from scratchpads with recipes for slug bait or maps of our raised bed plantings for a year, postcards from friends warning us about their impending visit. This book is now double in thickness yet these markers allow me easy access to what I need most often. We have enjoyed every penny we invested in Steve Solomon's Complete Guide to Natural Gardening. When we've got a problem, there's usually an answer right in there. When we're wondering about our climate, or our soil or our expectations for a harvest, given our climate, Steve Solomon's got an answer. Really useful, just wish it had more illustrations!

                  5 out of 5 stars Most useful gardening book I've ever read.......1999-01-02

                  If you are a gardener west of the Cascades you'll definitely find useful and readable information in this book. It includes an introduction to soil science, when to plant, what varieties grow well here, which seed companies are reliable and trustworthy, information on dealing with pests, and a section on the cultivation of each vegetable. Steve Solomon started the Territorial seed company, though he's no longer associated with it, and was growing most of his own food when he wrote this book. His approach is primarily organic, though not evangellically so. This is a good book for both the "corn and tomato" gardeners as well as somebody who is aspiring to grow a significant fraction of their own food. This is a regional book--probably one of its strongest points, since gardening is different in different bioregions. The regions include the Willamette Valley, SW Washington, Oregon coast and Southern Oregon, Puget Sound, Washington foothills, Yoncalla Valley, along the Umpqua, and northern California, with probably the most emphasis on the Willamette Valley and SW Washington. This is the book I begin every planting season (or seed purchasing season) with!

                        You can count me "a disbeliever" of most things, but, I was talked into Feng Shui by my friends. At the suggestion of a colleague here in DC, I contracted with Ms Dubos to have a look at my Alexandria townhouse (she was most professional and most reasonable). Ms Dubos made some recommendations; I implemented them; and I am astounded to acknowledge: My home FEELS better! Ms Dubos is now highly recommended by ME also! This is GREAT stuff ! I did read her book trying to understand what she meant when she was working and found it an excellent companion to what she told me. Se is a professional!

                        I have been a client of Denise's for several years now, and I'm so glad to see her put into print her gifts and her expertise. She has an amazing talent for feng shui and also "seeing" beyond the normal, and she has helped me tremendously in personal matters. Now I have "Denise in a book" for ready reference, because I can't possibly remember all the wisdom she shares with me! Thank you, Denise, and I look forward with great anticipation to your next work.

                        I have read a number of books on the subject both from the India perspective and that from China. This book address the subject with great detail, expertise, and insight into this ancient wisdom. It is a bearth of fresh air to see such a work-out there that any one can pick up and read and put to work in their life, thus bringing health, happiness, and prosperity to ones life and family.

                        There is so much hyperbole in this genre of subject (meaning people writing books to make money, rather than trying to convey meaning), it was a REAL PLEASURE to raed this fine book. The author's sensitivity and accumen on ths subject is outstanding! And she conveys her ideas in understandable English! My only real disappointment is that, having done this, I could find no other books by this author, Ms Dubos. Hopefully she will rectify this and I will be the first in line.

                        4 out of 5 stars Feng Shui the Invisable art of Communication.......2000-04-22

                        The art of Feng Shui is relatively new to the US, Denise Dubos' release of "Feng Shui the Invisable art of Communication" is very easy to read and understand. The principles described are easily put into practice and the book remains a good reference guide for any future questions that might arise from using Feng Shui. I would recommend this book to any one with an interest in Feng Shui, it is concise and in easy to understand terms.
