Customer Reviews:

Great GI book.......2007-05-28

This book is very helpful and is a straight forward approach to better understanding the GI and how it affects your body. I previoulsly read the Glycemic Revolution and was deeply disappointed by the info, and the lack of everyday application.

I do like that there is a glossary of the questions in the front so you immediately know where to skip.
From questions about prickly pear cactus and more, this book covers a lot of corners, and it explains things very well- breaking down the GI book stigma.

great book.......2007-05-21

this book is a must for the diabetic. it helps you literally with what to and not to eat and WHY! it explains the GI and GL system. this is a easy to read and understand book. get this book and it will help lower the (tryg) numbers.

Blood Glucose and 101 frequently asked questions.........2007-02-19

This was a great book for my mom who thumbs through the book and finds excellent information about her diabetes. If you have to take your blood readings on a daily basis, this book is a must have.

Million Stars for this book.......2005-09-28

Read it in 2 hours. I have got more than 25 books on Diabetes, but this book is THE BEST. It is the best investment. Please buy this book, if you have diabetes, you will not need any information after that.

Eat lots of green peppers and cucumbers.

Very Useful.......2003-09-19

I'm diabetic and struggling to get my blood sugar under control so I was thrilled to see this book with its handy list of 750 foods. The list shows the GI and GL [Glucose Level] counts plus the carb count for a given quantity of each food. In trade paperback, it is light and easy to carry around. My only complaint is that the explanations can be a little hard to understand [okay, I don't understand some of them at all]. I like the idea of moderate levels of carbohydrate in my diet and that's what this book recommends. I've done the low carb route and lost weight but can't stick to it forever. For one thing, it just doesn't feel healthy to me.

Great Ideas for Busy, Healthy Eaters.......2007-10-10

My family does not like beans and lentils. I was looking for ways to incorporate these storage items into our diet. I am really excited about the ideas contained in the book.

The recipes use ingredients that are found in your cupboard. They are healthy but not time consuming. There are many ways to hide the beans in food they would normally eat.

I am a lazy cook. I have to be in the mood and feeling good. Being able to give my family healthy meals without spending ages doing it is fantastic. I highly recommend this book to everyone that is looking to cut down or cut out meat in their diet or using up all the beans and lentils in their food storage.

The Best I've Found, so far!.......2006-12-18

I don't have enough space in this forum to express my total appreciation for this book. I've had it for over a year and I've barley used a fraction of it's valuable ideas. The ones I have used, I've used over and over again! I'm sitting here right now thinking of making some bread. I can either grind the grain by hand or use the recomended grinder I discovered from the book! I'm pretty much all set! A Must Read!

Customer Reviews:

Great Book.......2007-07-12

I bought this book because my Fiancee and I were going on an Alaskan cruise and a whale watching excursion. I tought it would be a handy reference book, but it is a little bit too big to easily carry around with you. It has great photos and a lot of good information in it to help you identify what you just saw. It is a really nice book and I just like looking through it. The size didn't really matter, because we were too busy oohhing and aahhing when we saw Humpback whales and Pacific White-sided Dolphins to be flipping through the book anyway.

Perfect for travel and science reference collections alike!.......2007-04-11

Dramatic color action photos blend an expert's advice on whale natural history with a travel observer's tips on where to find and how to identify the species. From maps to identification keys, WHALEWATCHER is packed with the latest on not only whales but dolphins and related species, with plenty of color photos throughout: perfect for travel and science reference collections alike!

Better information on the internet..........2003-02-22

Most of this book is a listing of some whale watching companies with litte infomation of real value. Which ones are good? No information about that. But there is information if their boat serves food, which they almost all do. Plus this information is old. No good pictures and no quality information about whales. I was completely disappointed in this suppossed "5 star" book. Don't buy this book -- do searching on line instead.

Ask not for whom the whale migrates...........2002-09-14

Thanks a lot. This book tells all the spots you may find me.
As a Humpback whale and elected leader of our pod I would like to say have a little decency and go stare at your own species for crying out loud. Don't we have enough stress in our lives wondering when the next one of us is going to get a harpoon stuck in his bladder? How would you like it if a bunch of us whales piled into a minivan and followed you and your family around? Gawking at you and your offspring as you stand in line for your happy meals or doing what ever your brutish species does. Doesn't sound like so much fun now does it?
Go fiddle with the banana slugs or mimes, nobody likes them anyway.

An excellent guide to animal behavior.......2000-08-14

This is the single best layman's book I have ever found to explain animal behavior. Lavishly illustrated with black and white drawings, thoroughly modern in its approach to animal behavior, and absolutely readable, "Beastly Behaviors" is a book any animal lover will enjoy reading. Chock full of facts, the book is aimed at an audience stretching from junior high to adults; parents interested in the book for their children should be aware that sexual behavior is described very frankly, should that be a concern. Buy this book; you won't regret it!

I found that when I purchased this bood I was looking for simple rubber stamping techniques to make simple greeting cards. This book is way too advanced for a beginner like me so I was a litte frustrated. I wish that there was more information about books that you can buy so that you don't spend money on a book that is of little use to you.

This is an excellent book if you are looking for ideas on how to better make use of rubber stamps in an interesting and intriguing way with greeting cards. If you are VERY experienced at that, this book is not for you. That is not to say this is for beginners either. It is for someone who wants to do "cooler" things with cards and rubber and ink, but doesn't want to take all day to do it.

Thanks for another great book Mary Jo! The book covers very artistic methods that can be applied to any level of stamping. The instructions with pictures are very easy to understand. It also has a great index, definitions of items used, and a helpful resource of where to buy the items used in the book.

This book is an absolute must for all florida gardeners. The year 2000 has brought a 100 year drought and water rationing. The resulting plant mortality will necessitate replanting in many yards. Ms Brandies' readable book provides all the motivation and information one needs. Her area specific information on plant choices is absent from many books, but her overall information is pertinent for all water sensitive areas. It's a suprisingly good and useful read.

I've used this book many times in helping parents of adolescents and teenagers to understand the changes they see in their children and stepchildren. The Arps know their subject well and have done a fine job explaining it to frazzled parents who are desperately seeking help.

In fact, we've used this as a text book for some parenting classes and have received enthusiastic responses from the parents who have attended. The material is easy to read and grasp. The suggested solutions and ways to dealing with children in "the change" are helpful and easy to implement.

Book Description

Following the death of Elizabeth Siddal in 1862 and his settling in Chelsea, Rossetti entered on a period of his life -- charted in volume 3 -- that was marked by renewed activity as a painter and increased financial prosperity. The years 1868-1870 covered by volume 4 culminate in his return to writing poetry and the publication in June 1870 of his long-anticipated and widely-read Poems. However, despite the satisfaction that he could take from his standing as a painter and from the fact that he was about to establish himself as a poet, 1868-1870 were troubled years for Rossetti. Problems with his eyesight led him to give up painting for long periods, and to fear that, like his father before him, he would end his days blind. He consulted Sir William Bowman and other leading ophthalmologists, who eased his mind sufficiently for him to return to his easel. This was also the time when he declared his love for Jane Morris, the wife of his long-time friend and admirer William Morris. In his long, moving letters to Janey we come face to face with the satisfactions and frustrations of their relationship. The letters to Janey provide a context for understanding the many paintings and drawings from this period for which she was the model, and for gauging the biographical origins of the sonnets, written at this time for the sequence, The House of Life, an early version of which was included in Poems.Probably the most rewarding letters in the volume concern the preparation of Poems. The letters deal at length with Rossetti's decision to have his poems typeset for distribution to friends, the exhumation of Elizabeth Siddal's coffin to recover the manuscript of his poems, his obsessive care over the physical appearance of the volume, especially the binding , and his efforts at "working the oracle," William Bell Scott's description of his methodically lining up sympathetic reviewers.As with all of Rossetti's correspondence, the letters in volume 4 are replete with pointed and sometimes humorous commentary on an array of people and events, ranging from Edward Burne-Jones's affair with "the Greek damzel," Mary Zambaco, and Frederick Sandys's appropriation of subjects from his pictures, to his unease over Swinburne's uncontrollable drunkenness, and his ominous hatred of Robert Buchanan, the author of the "Fleshly School" attack on his poetry in the Contemporary Review of October 1871, which became a major cause of the disastrous events of the years 1871-1872.

Book Description

Here is the period from the Restoration of Charles II in 1660 to the Revolution of 1688 and the Convention Parliament which followed it. These three volumes cover the period of constitutional reconstruction after the Interregnum and the political crises of the 1670s and early 1680s. The three volumes contain 2,040 biographical articles and 269 constituency articles. An Introductory Essay by Basil Duke Henning analyses information about the age, education, social background of the Members and their residential and electoral relationship with their constituencies. Questions concerning how far non-political factors influenced a Member's party political alignment are also examined.
