Customer Reviews:

BEST BOOK FOR NATURAL HEALING RESEARCHERS.......2002-09-23

The 3rd and LAST edition (100 printed) was published in October, 1947. This book has been used by people around the world, who are studying and researching Natural Healing products. This work was written by the brilliant efforts of the Yale School of Forestry. Up to this day it is unsurpassed by those people extremely interested in Natural Healing Products. The book was recently reviewed by Alan Kurz, who is considered by many to be one of the foremost leading authorities on Natural Products due to all the research he does on Natural Products for better health.

Classic.......2002-01-13

There is no need to say much about Timbers of the New World, the classic on the timbers of America. Published in the forties this work is the crowning effort of the Yale School of Forestry, led by prof S.J.Record. This book contains a wealth of information on the trees & shrubs of America (N-,C- & S-America) and the woods they yield. In amongst the text some plates with B&W pictures of trees; in the back with twentytwo plates of photomicrographs.

This went to four editions in the forties (1943-49) and was reprinted at least once later (in 1986: probably this edition). It remains unsurpassed as a source on (N, C & S) America's trees, their timber and wood anatomy, although obviously many of the botanical names in it are obsolete. An update would be very welcome, but just about impossible to put together.

Fodor's New Orleans, 2000.......2000-04-02

Wonderful book! My husband surprised me with a trip to New Orleans for our 10th anniversary and I took this book along. It helped make our trip remarkable!

Book Description

Unlike other available auditing case books, this volume focuses on the development of higher-order skills—such as critical thinking, communication, and interpersonal relations—and provides learners with hands-on exposure to realistic cases involving all aspects of an audit process. The book offers a collection of 36 auditing cases that address most major activities performed during the conduct of an audit—from client acceptance to issuance of an audit report. Cases involving actual frauds and real companies peak readers' interest and motivation for auditing and helps them develop an awareness of fraud reality. Cases involving the performance of audit procedures and examination of audit evidence give readers the opportunity to obtain “hands-on” experience with tasks performed by auditors—deepening their understanding of auditing. Cases involving information technology, assurance services, and other value-added opportunities expose readers to the changing environment of auditing and the new opportunities available. For accounting professionals thinking about taking the CPA exam, clients hiring accounting firms to conduct an internal audit, and new hires in the field of accounting.

Auditing Cases (3rd Edition).......2007-02-16

Thanks for getting me the book so fast. It is good to know that there are places outthere that do there job. The book is great and I have used it a few time already for my auditing class.

Thanks

Not worth it.......2004-01-31

This is a book of auditing case studies without solutions to the cases, for someone purchasing the text for their own use it was impossible to get the solutions from the publisher they refused my request. Do not purchase this text if you are using it for self study.

Book Description

Covering a technique popularized by master woodturner Ray Allen, this manual moves beyond basic woodturning with the segmented woodturning technique. This creative approach is demonstrated in one complete step-by-step project that effectively guides woodturners through the complicated process of creating geometric, repeating patterns with a Southwestern feel. Detailed, illustrated instructions make this seemingly elaborate technique approachable. Additional information on common problems helps avoid mistakes along the way. A full-color photograph gallery provides inspiration for future projects.

segmented bowls.......2007-01-18

This book is very instructional for those practicing bowl and lamp construction as wood turning projects.

An inspirational and beautiful book on segmented woodturning.......2006-05-15

If you are interested in segmented woodturning it is pretty hard to go past this book. It was written on behalf Ray Allen by long time friend Dale Nish, and it's a sad fact to learn that Ray didn't live to see his book published. Ray should feel very proud wherever he is for this work, a full colour book all the way through with clear diagrams and pictures to assist you with that segmented woodturning challenge.

The first and second chapters are brief and consist of showing you Ray's commonly used tools and some explanations on segmented blueprints.

The third chapter gets into the meat of the subject with 29 pages showing a step by step, blow by blow process for cutting, sanding, gluing, shaping, turning and finally finishing a segmented bowl. Loads of pictures on every page will give a great idea of how to approach each step.

Chapter four has a beautiful gallery of over 50 full colour pages often with multiple bowls on each page that showcases Ray's art.

The fifth chapter has 11 projects of segmented bowls for you to try along with complete cutting lists of every ring.

And lastly the sixth chapter treats you to some of the more complex segmenting to achieve different patterns, such as bricks, spirals, flags and more

If you are looking to try segmented woodturning and need a place to start for instruction AND inspiration then you can't go wrong with this book. Good on you, Ray, and I hope you are enjoying yourself on the big lathe up in the sky.

Pretty good, Great Photos and Designs........2006-02-22

This book is worthwhile if you are learning about how to do segmented turning or if the designs interest you. The instructions are clear but brief and show one master's methods.
The photos and designs are excellent making this not only a how-to book, but a nice photo book for the coffee table.

Not quite as in depth as the Malcolm Tibbetts book on segmented turning.

An expert among the esperts.......2005-08-25

I have scanned the book again and again. It is hard to leave an object for the next one, the art work is so perfect.
It is an endless source of inspiration

A spectacular guide to segmented woodturning.......2005-01-22

This is arguably the best book on segmented turning that has been published. It far surpassed my expectations, even though I expected a lot. The book has three major parts: First comes a detailed, step-by-step guide with 95 color photographs that carefully walks the turner through the complete sequence needed to make one of Ray Allen's designs. This is certainly not for the novice turner, and a sound understanding of woodturning techniques and general woodworking skills would be necessary to follow this part. But for the intermediate to advanced turner wanting to try out segmented work, this book is the best introduction one could imagine. Even the experienced segmented turner will find a tip or two that will be of interest. The second part of the book is the gallery section, which is outstanding, and consists of no less than 55 pages with several full color photographs on each page. It features a large part of Ray Allen's work, and it is a wonderful source of inspiration. The gallery section alone would have been worth more than the price of the book to me. The last part of the book contains blueprints and assembly sequences for many of the vessels and patterns in the book. While this is not nearly as detailed as the first part, it is still an excellent resource, and will help the reader to come up with his or her own designs and ways to build them. All in all, a must have for segmented turners of all skill levels, as well as for anybody wishing to give segmented turning a try but wasn't quite sure how to start.
