    5 out of 5 stars A Great Book on a Fascinating Area.......2003-11-08

    This book is, despite being a bit dated now, far more thoroughly researched than most other LP guides. It is well worth having on a trip to Nusa Tenggara, even if you already have the general Indonesia guide (whose coverage of this region is far less extensive).
    If only all LP guides were written by this author!
    A word of warning though: despite the title, this book DOES NOT cover most of Indonesia's eastern islands, only the smaller region of Nusa Tenggara or Southeastern Islands.

      Book Description

      In the early years of British colonial rule, Hong Kong went through an interesting and difficult phase of development, while a second generation of local Chinese was born as British subjects. Having received a Western education, this new breed acted as spokesmen and intermediaries and became essential bridges between the government and the people. Perhaps the most distinguished and certainly the most versatile of them was Sir Kai Ho Kai (1859-1914), barrister, physician, reformist, revolutionary and essayist.

      Besides tracing the life of Sir Kai Ho Kai and his family, this book contains descriptions of notable social events in Hong Kong in the early years in which Sir Kai played a part, such as the Bubonic Epidemic, the Alice Memorial Hospital, the Hong Kong College of Medicine and the Po Leung Kuk. Also included are sketches and anecdotes of prominent citizens and government officials at that time. Political developments in China during the period, seen as the background of Sir Kai's reformist and revolutionary relationship with his student, Dr. Sun Yat-sen.

            I love this book! You will find all you need to make a wonderful quilt. For beginners and longtime quilters alike.

            5 out of 5 stars Quilters Complete Guide.......2007-08-06

            This is the second copy I have had ,as the first one fell to bits from use! This is beautifully presented book with clear pictures,and easy lesson format,and tells you everything you need to know. The revised edition has been updated, and has an extra chapter covering new things like photo quilts ,finishing bindings .I recommend this book for all quilters,beginners or advanced

            5 out of 5 stars One of the Best Quilting Books I've Found.......2007-05-11

            I took this book out of the library a few weeks ago and couldn't wait to get my own copy. Marianne Fons & Liz Porter have written a book that is even clear to me! That's an accomplishment! Each quilt in the book starts with the invitation to make one block, in order to learn new techniques. When you've completed all these single blocks you can put them together and have quite an impressive quilt. Instead of having one quilt pattern that you're comfortable with making, you have an entire repertoire!

            These women are excellent teachers. They include tips throughout the book. Many diagrams, many clear pictures illustrating the steps. I can't say enough about this book. Whether you're a beginner or an accomplished quilter this book will be an excellent addition to your bookshelf.

            5 out of 5 stars Best Reference book for quilters both experienced and beginner!.......2007-03-17

            Learn to do all the most important and essential techniques needed top become an expert quilter! The price was exceptionally good -- about one-half that of retail book stores -- I bought 2 copies -- one for myself and one for a fellow quilter. Thanks for the good deal.

            5 out of 5 stars awesome.......2007-03-10

            I wish I had this book before I ventured into quilting - has everything you need. These gals write just as if they were speaking to you. Easy to understand, lots of diagrams. Great informational and reference book to use for all your quilting needs.

                            Menopause doesn't have to be a dreaded curse of aging during which we can look forward only to hot flashes and whacked-out hormonal mood swings. According to Christiane Northrup, M.D. (Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom), menopause often marks the beginning of a woman's most sexually passionate, creatively inspired, and professionally productive phase of life.

                            While this may sound like wishful thinking, Northrup backs up her good news with solid medical expertise. As an obstetrician and gynecologist, Northrup has specialized in using a mind-body approach to women's health for decades, which means she doesn't just write about hormones, but also examines how a woman's lifestyle, emotions, and beliefs are affected by menopause. With the right diet, attitude, and perhaps some supplements along the way, women can actually look forward to a resurgence of energy and a revolutionary opportunity for personal growth--one that rivals the hormonally driven period of adolescence in its scope and urgency, she claims. And yes, at just under 500 pages, The Wisdom of Menopause does explain how to have a positive and healthy menopause in concise detail. Northrup has indeed "written the book" on menopause.

                            It helps that Northrup has been through menopause herself (she vowed she wouldn't write a book on it until she was on the other side). Readers have the sense that they are gleaning advice from a knowledgeable holistic doctor as well as a sage aunt whose life was radically altered by the "change of life" (Northrup divorced at the onset of menopause). After she shares her personal story of "the change," Northrup delves into a significant discussion on how self-sacrifice catches up with women in midlife. Suddenly, hormones are directing women out of the caregiver role and into an inwardly focused assessment of life and its meaning, she explains. Resentments (not hormones) are what spur the notorious surges of anger, as women reexamine the agreements surrounding their relationships with colleagues, friends, and family members.

                            From here, Northrup guides readers into a thorough section on menopausal hormone changes--a discussion that is scientifically informative, yet entirely accessible. While acknowledging the need for hormone-replacement therapy and the tremendous relief it can provide (helping to alleviate insomnia, hot flashes, and depression), Northrup encourages women to avoid synthetic hormones and instead consider "bioidentical" hormones (such as estradiol, estrone, and estriol). She also devotes an entire chapter to foods and supplements that support hormonal balance. By the way, she says to skip the wild Mexican yam creams: "they certainly don't provide the documented benefits of progesterone." Be warned: some readers may find the advice in Wisdom of Menopause too alternative for their liking. For example, in her discussion on insomnia, one of Northrup's recommendations is to cover the mirror at night, following the ancient Asian design principles of feng shui. (Skeptics will find Northrup's medical assertions carefully cited and footnoted in the rear of her book.)

                            Northrup gives a solid and practical diet plan that supports hormonal balance while countering the weight gain that so frequently plagues menopausal women ("focus on portion size, not calories," "eat protein at every meal," and cut down on refined and high-carbohydrate foods). Readers can also expect a thorough mind-body discussion in subsequent chapters that cover breast health, bone loss, and cultivating midlife beauty, along with chapters titled "Sex and Menopause: Myths and Reality" and "Creating Pelvic Health and Power."

                            She concludes with a list of mail-order and online resources, such as retailers for bioidentical hormones, progesterone cream, Chinese herbs, soy products, weight-loss audiocassettes, lubricants, and Kegel weights. Northrup takes a truly comprehensive approach to all the effective treatments of menopausal symptoms so that women can make their own highly informed and wise choices. --Gail Hudson

                            Book Description

                            Through her bestselling books, groundbreaking PBS specials, and up-to-the-minute clinical knowledge, Dr. Christiane Northrup has earned a place as one of America’s most trusted medical advisors.

                            In The Wisdom of Menopause, she once again challenges convention with this inspiring look at one of the most commonly misunderstood female health issues. The “change” is not simply a collection of physical symptoms to be “fixed,” Dr. Northrup claims, but a mind/body revolution that brings the greatest opportunity for growth since adolescence. The choices a woman makes now–from the quality of her relationships to the quality of her diet–have the power to secure her health and well-being for the rest of her life. Through her personal story and many fascinating case histories, Dr. Northrup shows:

                            • How menopause jump-starts changes in the brain, issuing a dramatic wake-up call to body, mind, and emotions
                            • How to ensure the long-term health of breasts, bones, and heart
                            • How the body adjusts naturally to changing hormones
                            • Why bestselling drugs like Premarin may not be the best choice
                            • How to deal with metabolism shifts, weight gain, sexual problems, and appearance issues
                            • How to negotiate the challenges of “the empty nest” and midlife marriage

                            And much more.

                            In a book destined to be a classic, Dr. Northrup shows women how they can make menopause a time of personal empowerment and positive energy–emerging wiser, healthier, and stronger in both mind and body than ever before.

                            5 out of 5 stars Great BOOK, would recommend it to everyone.......2007-09-19

                            I wish I had read this book years sooner. It has given me more insight to being a female than ever. I use it as a resource and recommend it to many women friends and family. I could have been saved a great deal of heart ache had I had it sooner.

                            4 out of 5 stars Enlightening.......2007-09-15

                            I have only read the first 100 pages of this 600 page book, but I am finding the information to be very enlightening. At times, I feel as if I am reading my own life. I am in the perimenopause stage, and the way the author relays the changing of her thinking process, and correlates that with the hormonal changes occurring in her body, has really helped me understand the phase of life that I have entered and why I am making so many life changes. I thought I had just made up my mind about some things, but I am beginning to understand that it is really coming from the inside out. This book was recommended to me right on time. I am only 46 and I probably would not have purchased a book on menopause, if it had not been recommended. Any woman, approaching this change, should read this book, because I believe it will help you embrace the change, instead of fear it. I always had a negative impression of the emotions that would emerge, based on negative information that is usually forthcoming, but this is helping me to move forward taking advantage of the natural changes that are occurring. Perhaps I will write my own story, about how this book changed my life. Don't get overwhelmed by the size of the book, it is filled with life changing information that can be digested nugget by nugget.

                            5 out of 5 stars A must read for Women.......2007-08-13

                            This insightful book adds clearity to wherever you are in the menopause chapter of your your life. I bought two and sent one to a friend. She called me and said it sounded like the author was writing about her at times.

                            5 out of 5 stars The Wisdom of Menopause.......2007-08-13

                            I found it brilliant and informative. It answered all the questions I want to know, this book will most definitely be moved around amongst my friends and family should the need arise for information regarding menopause. My husband found it interesting as well and have more understanding.

                            This is a great anthology on menopause. It is well-written and documented, plus it includes numerous resources. Every woman should have a copy in her library!

                                  "We are writing for Children but not for Idiots." Madeline's creator was a man of strong opinions, which always makes for a fascinating life. His legacy was Madeline; however, Ludwig Bemelmans was also a novelist, a muralist, a nonfiction writer, a screenwriter, an oil painter, and an all-around bon vivant. In this elegant account, Bemelmans's life story is told through paintings, sketches, letters, photographs, and excerpts from published and unpublished writings. Fans of the stories about the charmingly impetuous little orphan girl (Mad About Madeline) will be dazzled by the rest of Bemelmans's artistic body of work, as well as by his irrepressible spirit. Entertaining tidbits will amuse and amaze: once, on a trip to Germany, Bemelmans placed his cigar stub over his lip and launched into a Hitler impression near a crowd of Nazi supporters. Thinking nothing more about it, he and his wife returned to their hotel, where his wife, on a lark, painted the sleeping Bemelmans's toes pink. The next day he was arrested for his little prank. When his toenails were discovered, the police tossed him in the cell for homosexuals!

                                  John Bemelmans Marciano, grandson of Bemelmans, provides a running text to guide the readers through Bemelmans's own words and pictures, providing a shape to the life story that will leave admirers of Madeline and her creator thoroughly satisfied. --Emilie Coulter

                                  Book Description

                                  "There is life in everything--why didn't I paint it long ago?" --Ludwig Bemelmans

                                  Although best known for his Madeline books, Ludwig Bemelmans' creativity extended far beyond the old house in Paris. He was a novelist and a non-fiction writer, as well as a regular contributor to The New Yorker, Vogue, Holiday, and Town and Country. He also painted murals in a bar at the Carlyle Hotel that still bears his name. Throughout his life he was a celebrated bon vivant who experienced a rich variety of people, places and personalities. He even sold a screenplay to MGM, and planned to collaborate on a book with First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy. Late in his life Bemelmans became a serious painter, and today his work can be found in such leading museums as the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the Musee National d'Art of Paris, and many others. In this elegant volume his fascinating life story is told through letters, photographs, sketches, illustrations, paintings and excerpts from both his published writings and his private journals, all selected by his grandson, John Bemelmans Marciano, who has also written a running text to guide the reader through the story. The final part of the book explores Bemelmans' creative process while working on the Madeline books. This handsomely designed and lavishly illustrated book showcases Bemelmans' art and writing and illuminates the relationship between the man and his work.

                                  John Bemelmans Marciano lives in New York City.

                                    Book Description

                                    This is a book about exile and belonging -- a truthful, funny and moving evocation of a unique place and time, xperienced through the eyes of a child.

                                    John Boyle was born and raised in Scotland but he never felt Scottish. His parents were immigrants from the west of Ireland who came to Scotland to find work, and eventually settled in Paisley where John was the first of six children. Galloway Street beautifully captures the poverty and the rough humour of the Boyle family’s life in the Paisley tenements, the songs and stories of their Irish Catholic relatives and the often uneasy relationships with their Scottish Protestant neighbours. He also reveals how a trip at the age of ten to visit an aunt on the remote island of Achill was his first introduction to the life his parents left behind.

                                    4 out of 5 stars Scotish Angela's Ashes.......2002-03-30

                                    The Scottish Version of Angel'a Ashes, set in Paisley instead of Limerick, but the same view of growing up in a poor family through the eyes of a young boy. Down to earth , but still funny.
