Another jewel by Moon.......2003-04-16

I have come to rely on the quality, detail and accuracy of Moon's guidebooks. They have added to my enjoyment of vacations for years. This book is no exception. It provides meaningful information on in-town attractions and out-of-the-way destinations alike. A must for anyone visiting the Yucatan!

Worst guidebook I have ever read.......2003-03-04

This is possbily the worst guidebook of any kind I have ever read. Loaded with meaningless phrases such as "Nighttime activities are not to be missed," and other high-school-yearbook-type observations, it is absloute torture to ferret out any helpful information buried in the inane prose.

Book Description

Book Description

It's a place where heads of state and kings and queens are invited for dinner, where the doors are open to the public for tours, and where the most powerful people in the world meet to determine the fate of the Earth. The White House is also home to the first family, and for nearly two hundred years its walls have reverberated with the laughter and shrieks of children who found fun and mischief in every nook and cranny. Tales of their outrageous adventures provide a candid glimpse of the times and the people who lived in the world's most illustrious house.

A couple of presidential children made the spacious East Room their personal roller skating rink, others brought their own menagerie of exotic pets to live in the White House, and children from the Lincolns to the Kennedys rode ponies on the lawn. Presidents have opened the doors of the White House for Christmas and birthday celebrations, the annual Easter egg roll, and parties for all kinds of children, grandchildren, and dozens of their friends. The daughters of Presidents Johnson and Nixon were even married in the White House.

Most important, the children who grew up in the White House each spent a few years at the center of American life. Here is a touching, amusing, and enlightening look at the human side of the families who are part of American history.

What a fun and creative look at our former White House incumbants, ie. Buddy and Socks. Their view of life on Pennsylvania Ave. is not only enlightening, but highly entertaining!

Book Description

Jesse James's breakout book, I Am Jesse James, introduced a wider audience to the man behind the motorcycle. With Motorcycle Mania 3, the companion book for the Discovery Channel special, fans will get an even more intimate look at Jesse as he struggles with his skyrocketing success. With his shop besieged by tourists, his schedule packed tight, and his marriage crumbling, Jesse turns to his friend Kid Rock for some much needed relaxation—a road trip to Mexico.

Jesse dreams of the open highways and unspoiled country south of the border, ready and waiting for his two new bikes, an orange and chrome custom for Kid and, for himself, a specialty chopper made entirely of copper—a metal Jesse has never worked with before. They're going to take these bikes from Texas to the heart of Copper Canyon— a crevice four times the size of the Grand Canyon. After a run-in with the local federales, a mad ATV dash over windswept sand dunes, an invasion of European hippies, and Kid's ubiquitous calls of “Una cerveza más, por favor,” Jesse and Kid emerge from Mexico and return to the spotlight with a bolstered joy for living and a better appreciation for the country they call home.

Build Bike, Go Places.......2004-12-20

In this hardcover picture book Jesse James goes somewhere to perfect his skills with copper, then he gets back to work on his Copper Chopper. Kid Rock gets his own softail WCC bike built at about the same time at Jesse's place and the two set off on a road trip to Mexico. That's about it. Lots of cool pictures which you'll like if you're into choppers and the whole Jesse James/WCC thing. Only problem with this book is that it has ALL the text right at the beginning followed by ALL the pics. A little frustrating having to read and then flip forward to look at the pics which were referred to in the text earlier. Other than that it's not really as interesting to read as "I am Jesse James", IMHO. Still, worth checking out if you're a fan.

For each type of behavior problem, she presents brief case histories, observations and diagnoses, appropriate treatment plans, and their outcomes. Readers will also find informative Q & A sections and enlightening sidebar notes. Attractive full-color illustrations are featured on nearly every page.

Good basic book for pet owners with "problem" dogs.......2007-07-25

"Dog gone good" is a cute little book; small, well illustrated and very well written.

This book comprises a series of short chapters, each giving basic information on a different canine behavioural problem: from aggression towards other dogs, aggression towards humans, predatory behaviour, and separation anxiety, to house training problems and car travel issues.

The author uses a friendly conversational tone, and while she does not dumb down the topics, the book is not too technical for the average pet owner to understand. In each chapter she describes the symptoms of the behaviour problem, explains its possible causes, and then describes solutions that can be implemented. The author describes how to recognise when cases are too complicated or dangerous to treat at home, and where appropriate she suggests referral to a carefully selected professional behaviourist.

"Dog gone good" is packed with attractive photographs, and each chapter includes a question-and-answer section, and at least one case study. The author obviously knows her stuff, since the suggestions are sensible and humane, and drawn from a wide variety of training methods. As appropriate for a book aimed at the general public, the methods focus on reward and/or hands-off punishment, instead of physical aversives.

This book would be too basic to interest a professional behaviourist. However, for someone who is inexperienced in dealing with dog behaviour issues and who is suddenly faced with one, this book could be a great help. Using this book, even a complete novice to dog training should be able to diagnose what they are dealing with, understand its severity, and understand the issues and methods that will be involved in treatment - and will be able to make an informed decision about whether to seek professional help.

Highly recommended!

Very nice book, with many information one may need regarding dogs. From grooming to illnesses, almost every kind of parasites, all breeds and their common problems. Especially beginners, will get the most from this book. If you are looking for a practical book regarding your little friend, you will love this book.

A small book that contains a lot of useful information........1999-10-18

This is an excellent book that will inform readers of what exactly is involved with caring for a dog. This includes exercise, grooming, and health care. It has clear precise photography of parasites and infectious diseases along with a description of how these diseases are passed along and what you can do to prevent it. The book includes a question and answer section to a variety of problems "real" people come across. There is much more to this book. If you are looking for a dog, you might find the breed profile useful. A large variety of breeds are listed. The profile includes life expectancy, adult height and weight, temperment, and known health problems. It also includes basic obedience training tips. I bought this book because of the many topics that were covered. Unlike most books, I found this book to give useful information and knowledge in a small, cut to the chase, real life situations.

Baby Yoga.......2007-09-07

This product is fabulous. Better than over the counter quick fixes. I did poses to help my baby with gas and fussiness and he was able to expell the gas immediately as well as stop fussing. Yoga is the perfect way to help keep a baby healthy and happy!It also provides a great way for mom and baby to bond; mom gets a little exercise too!
The material is very clear and informative.

Solid.......2007-07-24

The way this book was written came off to me as too sugary sweet and otherwordly. Once I got over wanting to gag at some of the sayings I was pleased with the layout of the book; it shows each posture and then how to create a sequence with them that will promote either sleep, reduced fussiness, etc.. I have noticed that since employing some of the poses my son seems less colicky, but it's tough to know if that is a result of him growing out of it, or the yoga. If nothing else, this book provides a good way to bond with your child.

very nice book!.......2007-05-13

I am a first time prego, and even reading this book already let me beleave that i can be a perfect parent to my yet unborn baby. The book is devided on the sections that are suteble to exersice with infants on different stages of development. Discribtions of poses are very clear.

A MUST-HAVE for all parents!.......2007-02-07

This is a WONDERFUL book. I just love it and really enjoy doing in with my daughter. I recommend it to every expecting parent. I'm sorry I didn't start baby yoga right after my daughter was born.

The Little Superstar with the Immense Talent and Looks Gets Some Respect, at Last!.......2006-07-26

Joe Dallessandro (or Dalessandro, or D'Allessandro, etc.) is an actor for whom I always have had an almost obsessive passion, not simply because of his incomparable and mysterious physical beauty, which has such a sheen to it (e.g. the pellucidly luminous glow of his nipples, the impressive scale and beautiful shape of his genitals, his skin's fine complexion, the lure of his long, straight, beautifully textured hair, etc.), but because Dallessandro drew one into his acting and persona so compellingly yet in such a seemingly effortlessly low-key, unself-consciously subtle way. His acting was not deadpan, or stiff, or overly reliant on his magnificent physical attributes alone, but deeply personal and compellingly genuine. Small gests that others do not notice, a change of _expression, a look of cunning manipulation, of a kind of passive surprise, and so forth, would be hard for most actors to realise if they were scripted for them, yet Dallessandro did all of this in the semi-improvisatory manner in which his films with Warhol and those associated with him were made. Ferguson has a keen appreciation of these elusive qualities that made Dallessandro such a rivetting and fascinating actor as well as such an overwhelmingly gorgeous physical presence in his films, where he so eclipses in interest all but a few of the other actors in the casts. He deals feelingly with Joe Dallessandro's brother, who died at such a young age and whose own physical allure shares such an obviously fraternal resemblance to that of Little Joe himself.

The photos in the book are not particularly well reproduced, merely adequate in quality, but would have benefitted from being printed on glossy paper with greater photographic resolution and contrast, as some of the same photos reveal their potential on the glossy front and back covers of the book. Still, it is good to have so many photos (from those of his "beefcake" physique photo posing days of the earlier years of his adolescence onwards) of this incomparably sensuous man in one place. The author's style is enthusiastic and not particularly literary, but his real love of Dallessandro and of his work gives the book a sincerity and depth of appreciation that still, alas, are all too seldom expressed regarding Joe Dallessandro. It is quite a wonderment to learn of the many films, besides the famous ones, that "Little Joe" made over the years, and the author's appreciation of them makes one yearn to see them all, and Ferguson's success in arousing such curiosity to explore Dallessandro's legacy is one indicator of his own success as a writer!

I have lived with this book, returning to it often, and it always gives me pleasure to open it, to gaze on Joe Dallessandro's sheer physical splendour and to read his words quoted and those of the author expressed so feelingly about this icon of erotic (and other) film.

Everything You Need to Know About Joe Dallesandro.......2006-01-10

"Gay and straight fans worldwide have been infatuated with Joe Dallesandro since Andy Warhol made him famous, and the underground films made him a sexual icon. Now, at long last, Dallesandro talks--in detail--about his life, his career and his films. More than 100 photos--including several full-frontal nudes of the not so little Joe! Softcover; 216 pages. 'Here it is at last: everything you need to know about Joe Dallesandro. A wonderful actor who forever changed male sexuality on the screen.'--John Waters, director"--© zebraz

Great Document To A Working Actor.......2005-01-29

I love this book. It is really too bad that many of these films haven't been released as some sort of "Little Joe" DVD Box Set in the United States, particularly the post-Warhol European films like "Black Moon" and "Seeds of Evil." Joe has been a hard-working actor for decades now, and he deserves this well-researched testament to his work.

Well written and highly thorough biography of an pop icon.......2004-12-29

I don't know that you can fairly judge a biography or autobiography based on the subject matter. If the person interests you then you are going to find the book interesting - unless the book is just horribly written (this is often the case, sadly). However, Michael Ferguson has done a fine job of working with a man who literally stumbled into acting years ago in New York.

Joe Dallesandro (or Little Joe) was a street tough kid from New York when he wandered onto the set of an Andy Warhol film. He was cast in that film right away. I won't summarize the biography, because there's no point in doing so. However, I will say that Ferguson takes us along on a brief, but thorough walk through Joe's life to the present day. Then we get to learn about each of the films that Joe has made in great detail.

No, Joe isn't Bette Davis or Olivier or even John Wayne, but I would have liked to have had the biographical information appear in a bit more detail. That's my own peeve, but it isn't really fair, since we're talking about a guy who was doing nudity in "art" films in the 60's - a guy who played a German peasant in turn of the century Germany with a Brooklyn accent. This is not an actor who would ever win any awards for his talent, unless his talent was is body and face. And what a body and face he had for the times.

Little Joe lets us take a brief look at a Warhol creation that lived far beyond its intended artistic life. Joe Dallesandro the man is far different from the beautiful face and body on the screen. Timeless there in appearance, his real life was never what others fantasized about him. This guy is still a street tough scrapper who is just barely scraping by today.

I think the material is interesting and the writing is effective and worthwhile. If you have a nostalgic bent toward Warhol's Factory days or just liked his weird horror films or sexy films, then you'll enjoy reading this book.

Info packed.......2003-01-10

I can not believe the bad reviews - I feel they have a personal issue, not one with the book. No book has this complete of a listing of Joe films. The author has done a fantastic job of not just reviews the film, but giving a reason why they should be seen. Joe has had quite a life and this B movie stars book is a good read. But for a collector of movies and someone who is interested in film, this book is the bible for Joe.

Book Description

Henry Care (1646-88) was a Restoration publicist from middle-class London who made his living by his skillful pen during the Exclusion Crisis and the reign of King James II. In both eras he developed a large following in the popular press. Although he is little known today, both friends and enemies in his time regarded him as someone to be reckoned with. The Stuart kings also appreciated the influence and potential threat of Care and of the press in general, and they sought to restrain him and to tighten controls on the press, even as they themselves used propagandists to combat both.

By exploring Care's life and work from his anonymous origins to his eventual celebrity as a polemicist first for the Whigs and later for James II, and by examining the influence of his ideas in the American colonies, Schwoerer offers new insights into how the nonelite participated in and affected politics. Care's career illuminates many issues currently of interest in the study of Restoration England, including print culture, the uses of law, women's history, attitudes toward religious liberty and toleration, the Exclusion Crisis, and the Revolution of 1688--89. Using Care's life as a window into the period, Schwoerer contributes significantly to the ongoing reevaluation and rethinking of the Restoration.
