Excellent book for New York lovers!.......2002-11-12

This book is great. I love the walking tours outlined. It gives you a map, tells you how far each tour would be, how long it should take you, and what to stop and see. This pictures and background info on various sites is great and the history is great. I also love the way it's broken down be neighborhood. Many wonderful maps.

Excellent Book.......2001-11-21

This is an excellent book. It has everything anyone traveling to New York or even living in New York needs to know.

This book contains maps of everything, including subways. It also takes you from the Villages to the Upper East and West Sides, from Lower Manhattan to Harlem and Central Park. I could never find a better book of New York if I tried.

This is a must read for anyone traveling to New York, or just interested of learning about the Big Apple.

Beautiful presentation!.......1999-08-19

I bought this book so that I would have a resource for visiting friends. It has helped me plan numerous excursions as it lists the contact info and very often the hours and rates of most popular activities around town. The photography in this book is outstanding as well as the brief historical sections and the restaurant info.

The only thing missing, in my opinion, is better information about where not to walk after dark and other pertinent details. For example, the author mentions that such and such street in the east village is so quaint and should not be missed, but I know that I would not want to be walking there after dark. The book is primarily a "pretty" guide, so if that's the type of guide you're looking for, then it's perfect.

David Bach's Smart Women Finish Rich is a homage to the financial wisdom of his grandmother; it's also an excellent foundation for women who are starting to get their financial lives in order. Bach's approach to money management is rooted in years of investment seminars for women and his work as senior vice president of investments at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter. During that time he recognized that "people rarely know what is truly driving them emotionally when it comes to money." In response, Bach has written a guide to money management for women based on his belief that "financial planning is as much an emotional issue as it is an intellectual one." Are you considering your values in your work and investing? What part of your daily work is driven by your goals in life? Is your latte habit preventing you from accumulating substantial wealth? Bach addresses tax strategies, wills, insurance, retirement plans, and investments in a highly accessible manner. Smart Women Finish Rich ably bridges the gap between simple saving strategies and preparing for widowhood and financial independence. --Brad Doll

Customer Reviews:

A MUST for all women!.......2007-09-26

David Bach provides helpful and realistic advice when it comes to money. He brings home the ways we all spend money on unimportant things and how if channeled in the right direction can yield a very comfy nest egg. It was GREAT to have it to listen to in the car. I've lent it out to several women so far and they are all big fans of it.

Easy read.......2007-09-18

I haven't finished the book yet but so far so good! It's an easy read and I read it when I have time. Small enough to carry in a bad and take with me everywhere. So far I've learned alot and hope to finish it soon!

Women should read this book..........2007-09-05

My dad used to tell me that all I had to do was to marry a man and he will take care of me. I never bought into that and didn't get much more financial advice outside of that from him. This book offers some good advice. It is true that switching over my savings account to a higher interest earning account has more than paid for the cost of buying this book. It is more of a motivational book but has some good tips on how to get started for personal financial planning. When I talked to a financial planner he was surprised how much I knew about finance and what I wanted to do with my money. I also like what Bach has to say about educating future generations - what we need to teach our kids.

The Book for Every Woman.......2007-09-02

I would suggest that every woman read this book and not only read it but actually putting the priniciples into practice and making a plan for their finances.

This book really helped me to see how much I was on track and also showed me some areas that needed to be tweaked.

Great Tool!.......2007-09-01

I purchased this book for my daughter who just graduated from college & began a career. It proved not only valuable to me as I plan for retirement but it's also a valuable tool for her as she sorts through managing a bugdet & planning a future. This book is written for women, in our language. I'd recommend it to other women.

Customer Reviews:

Creative Inspiration.......2007-01-05

Excellent stimulation to be creative. Illustrated techniques provide creative ideas for all level of gourders.

Not a good one.......2006-09-02

I was very disapointed by this book. I have been working with pyrography & gourds for many many years now, & always look for a technique I might like better than what I am using. I wish I had seen the reviews first before buying, I am VERY sorry I bought this & will hold my other thoughts to myself. I DO recommend an excellent book for wood burning, PYROGRAPHY WORKBOOK: A Complete Guide to the Art of Woodburning, by SUE WALTERS. For growing gourds: GOURDS IN YOUR GARDEN, by Ginger Summit. For many beautiful techniques to enhance your gourd art: THE DECORATED GOURD: Beautiful Projects & New Techniques, by Dyan Mai Peterson.

NOT REALLY WHAT I WANTED OR NEEDED.......2006-08-06

I have been working with gourds for quite a few years now, something like over thirty. There was very little in this work I found to be useful. I am sorry to say I agree fully with another reviewer here who was less delighted with this particular work that probably I am. I did give it two stars simply for effort though. I strongly suggest you search further as there are quite a large number of books out there that are of better quality and certainly more worth the money spent.

A bit too basic.......2006-04-04

I have Sue Waters newer book which is done very well. I was very disappointed when I got this, her older book, to discover that the projects were very amaturish. There was not much substance to the book for the price so therefore I will be returning the book to Amazon (alas this is the price you pay for buying a book when you cannot see the contents).

Book Description

People with autism often are intolerant of gluten (a protein in four types of cereal) and casein (a protein found in animal's milk). There are many testaments to the benefits for such people of a diet that excludes gluten, casein, monosodium glutamate and aspartame, and these persuaded Marilyn Le Breton to put her autistic son Jack on the diet.

This is the book that Marilyn wishes had been available to her when she first did so. In it she explains what the diet is all about and how it works, what foods can form part of the diet and what should be excluded. She addresses frequently asked questions and misconceptions, such as `Is the diet too difficult and time-consuming? How strictly do I need to adhere to it? Is the diet expensive to implement?' and gives practical advice on basic equipment and ingredients, what to expect when your child starts the diet, how to adapt family meals and how to minimize cross-contamination in the kitchen. The book includes a wide selection of recipes, an extensive list of addresses and websites of suppliers of foodstuffs in the UK, and suggestions for finding out more information. It is the first book of its kind to be written specifically for those living in the UK.

Marilyn's own experience and sensible approach ensure that this book will be invaluable for any parent of a child with autism, or any adult considering embarking on the diet.

Customer Reviews:

GF/CF helps in early stages of recovery.......2007-10-11

A lot of parents find the GF/CF diet helps in the early stages of recovery, as it reduces behaviors. Long term we find that after you heal the gut it is no longer necessary. There is a book that describes healing the gut with herbs that I liked very much it's He's Not Autistic But...: How We Pulled Our Son From the Mouth of the Abyss by Tenna Merchent. Although he wasn't GF/CF, because he wasn't allergic to wheat, she did have him on a very restrictive diet during his illness because he was allergic to milk, corn, soy, oats and several other things. With energy medicine and herbs she was able to completely recover her son.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent survey of 40 years of John Wesley's work.......2007-01-27

Alanna Heiss, director of P.S.1 and deputy director of the MOMA, gives us an unprecedented overview of the work of Wesley, an artist originally considered a Pop Art painter who has continued to work in a highly recognizable, consistent style over his career. With high quality, large scale color images of all of his pieces in the 2000 P.S.1 show and many more black and white photos of additional works, the artist, and prior exhibits, this text gives anyone interested in Wesley an excellent overview of his output through its various phases.

Donald Judd was an early admirer of Wesley's work and some of his finest early pieces are owned by the Judd foundation. Historical reviews by Judd, Hannah Green, Peter Plagens, Ken Johnson and others are included along with an eleven page interview of Wesley by Heiss.

Taken together with the January 2007 show of his Dagwood and Blondie series at Fredericks & Freiser gallery, one can see Wesley's themes through their current fruition. It has been interesting to see the artist's return from relative obscurity prior to the P.S.1 show to renewed attention today as evidenced by his history at auction.
If any of his work appeals to you, this book is an excellent, relatively inexpensive way to learn a great deal more about the artist.
