Boring Book !!!!.......2007-05-14

This book made me feel like I was studying and I did not like it one bit. I knew alot of the helpful tips in the book already. I did not finish it I feel foolish for buying it.

Worst book Ever....DON'T BUY IT........2007-05-02

Brown Skin: Dr. Susan Taylor's Prescription for Flawless Skin, Hair, and Nails

This was a total waste of time and money...I returned it. It was way too generic with information that I already know. I was hoping for more in depth information.

Everything you've already read and heard.......2007-04-13

Kudos to Dr. Taylor for her personal achievements, but that does not compensate for the mediocrity that is "Brown Skin". At times it reads like a bland encyclopedia of skin issues and other times like contradictory medical tripe. Reading this book only left me more frustrated at the dearth of good in-depth skin/hair care advice for people of color. Even more frustrating, I emailed her people asking for the ingredient list for her product line. They wouldn't give me a straight answer. Instead they just repeated verbatim the advertisement from the website.

Bottomline: If you know absolutely nothing about hair/skin then this book will be great for you, otherwise pass.

A must read for women of color.......2006-01-30

This book answered so many questions I have had about my skin. Things I never remember to ask a doctor and other things I have asked that they had no answers for me. Maybe it's because often times I represent a minority of their clientele so they don't care to or haven't taken the time to know. This book should serve you as a reference book, one you will turn to from time to time and one you will want to give to the women in your life. Your daughters, your mom and others. Thank you Dr. Taylor for being so thorough.

Disappointing! Entirely too general to be helpful........2006-01-01

The book would probably be informative to some people. Overall, I didn't learn a single thing. THE BOTTOM LINE: If you don't know anything about hair and skin care, if you are starting from scratch, then this book might be helpful. If you are like me, and you already read Essence or already have some knowledge of how and when to wash your hair and face, then the book will seem like a waste of money.

Another drawback --most of the advice is incredibly general. A woman of color with skin or hair problems would be better advised to make an appointment with Dr. Taylor or another black dermatologist to get specific advice to help your specific problems. If you have health insurance, one appointment with a dermatologist should not cost to much more than the book.

Book Description

Bar-B-Q aficionados from around the world pilgrimage to Memphis for John Willingham's famous, braggin' rights Bar-B-Q Feisty debates have erupted right there, in the midst of fire and smoke, over whether Willingham's ribs with Memphis-style sauce or his World Champion Brisket rubbed with Hot Seasoning are his best. And no one goes home before they've had his gooey, rich shoofly pie.

Authentic Bar-B-Q is as American as the Fourth of July, but often it takes a search party to find the real thing. Now, for the first time, John Willingham, winner of more major grand champion Bar-B-Q awards than anyone else in history, shares his celebrated recipes for a complete Bar-B-Q feast. At the heart of this book are Willingham's acclaimed recipes for mouthwatering beef, pork, fish, and chicken Bar-B-Q. Here are clear instructions for determining what type of cooker to use; laying a perfect fire to minimize smoke and maximize taste; preparing and using assorted dry rubs and marinades; getting a rich, marbled taste out of any cut of meat. The result is such triumphs as Grilled Pork Loin Roast, tender on the inside, golden on the outside; fresh, subtle Herbed Shrimp with Basil; Honey Mustard-Glazed Ribs that can be prepared in a snap; and Hot Sauce-Marinated Chicken.

But it's not just the perfectly prepared meats and sauces on which Willingham lavishes special attention. No Bar-B-Q feast would be complete without starters, salads, fixin's, slaws, and dessert. And Willingham has the blue ribbon recipes for them all. Take, for example, his Smokin' Fastball Wings cooked overhickory or apple wood, melt-in-your-mouth Angel Biscuits, or stand-up spicy Cajun Coleslaw. To cool off, there's Grandma's Raisin Bread Pudd'n with Rum Sauce, Old-Fashioned Custard Pie, or rich Maple Sauce spooned over ice cream to mention just a few, for dessert.

John Willingham explains what real Bar-B-Q isand isn't--and provides the techniques and tips that have won him accolades but are so simple even a backyard 'cuer can use them. Down-home and authentic, John Willingham's World Champion Bar-B-Q is the sourcebook for weekend enthusiasts and world-class chefs ready to follow in the Willingham tradition of creating delicious Bar-B-Q masterpieces.

Customer Reviews:

Overhyped - proof that a BBQ Trophy does NOT translate into good writing.......2007-08-20

This book is a classic example of an overhyped offering written by someone who's chief claim to fame is having won an equally overhyped cooking contest, and then capitalizing on that with skillful self-promotion. Naturally the publisher will go along for the ride because they want to make money too ... regardless of whether or not the book is worthy of it's own hype.

STRENGTHS:
* The author does at least cover some of the basics of classic BBQ, including dry rubs, mop sauces & marinades, basic wood use, and the like, and he waxes nicely poetic in places about the joys of slow cooking. Props for the latter, because it's sadly going out of style.

* There's some modestly decent introductory information in here on hardcore BBQing.

* Some of the recipes in back actually appear fairly decent old fashioned offerings ... like shoofly pie.

WEAKNESSES:
* There's only 150 recipes in here, many of them borrowed from friends and acquaintances, and ranging in quality from good to merely adequate. So in a word, this book is thin on serious content, and it's padded with recipes that aren't even the author's. Wait, lemme re-check the cover ... yes, the cover clearly implies that the book is indeed SUPPOSED to be about 'world champion' BBQ recipes - so how did all the padding by non-champs and non-BBQ get in there ?

* You can't have a serious book on BBQ without spending a decent portion of the page count on primal cuts of beef and pork, how best to break them down and approach each. The author spends too little time on such material, to the book's detriment. I expected more effort from a 'world champion' - not that the title really means all that much.

* Many of the condiments, mixes, rubs, and sauces called out are proprietary, and are primarily available from the author's own little startup company (very convenient and opportunistic, yes ?). The author does deign to lay out recipes for a dry rub or two, and a basic mop sauce or two, but he could have done more on that. My philosophy is simple - either tell me how to make it (and why), or keep the book (and the product placements) and get stuffed.

* Much of the equipment that the author waxes poetic about is his own personal (and highly customized) BBQing rig, which the readers will never have a chance to work with. He doesn't spend enough time/depth covering the type of equipment commonly available to most readers (ex: basic 'bullet' water smokers, basic offset smokers, electric smokers), and the result of this somewhat self-serving focus is that the usefulness of the book to the everyday reader is significantly undermined.

BOTTOM LINE: Lots of hype, and a pretty cover photo, but thinnish on genuinely useful content. I'm not saying that the author can't cook - I'm saying that he doesnt do nearly a good enough job passing such skill on the readers. So, this book is a bit like a meatball hero ... it looks pretty when you order it, but one you bite in, it's mostly filler and not enough meat. There are LOTS of better book on BBQ out there. Save your money, and avoid this one. This book is proof positive that having BBQ trophies on one's wall does NOT mean that someone's any good at writing cookbooks.

Shame on everyone who raves about this book - it's clear to me that they're either incompetent when it comes to reviewing cookbooks, only interested in boosting their personal amazon stats, or both.

Good book, for BBQ novices.......2005-07-19

This book has very good tips and methods on HOW to BBQ, and is then followed by a decent number of recipes. The recipes are not quite my style, but they are good anyway. One big positive thing about this book is how it describes building your own pit. Not all books do that, and information on building your own pit is fairly scarce. I agree with an earlier reviewer that this book tended to advertise the authors products a bit, but the author also gave some knock-off recipes so you don't have to buy his products. I would recommend this book for a beginner who doesn't want a really big book. This book is thinner than some of the other big BBQ compilations, and that is nice, but I prefer some of the larger books personally. My favorites and "Smoke and Spice" by Cheryl Jamison and "Paul Kirks Championship Barbecue". These are both large books, but worth every ounce in pure BBQ heaven!

How to Barbecue like a Champion.......2004-12-05

I received John Willingham's book as a gift and have read it cover to cover. It's packed full of bbq secrets from the greatest bbq contest cook to ever put on an apron. Willingham details basic cooking methods including what wood to use and what wood not to use, temperatures to cook at, and he provides his personal recipes. I especially like the rib recipe and his recipe for pork shoulder. These recipes can be used as written, or you can tweak them slightly to suit your personal taste. The recipes alone would be worth the price of the book.

Great BBQ Book.......2004-11-07

Love this book. Haven't found a bad recipe yet. The hot wings got raves from eveyone I've made them for. Have a huge collection of BBQ books. This one is in the top 10.

Good Book for Starting.......2003-07-22

I have had Mr Willingham's book for over 8 years now and still consider it part of my bbq inner sanctum. It's not just his great rubs and sauces but his enthusiasm for the process! In my opinion the key to having fun with BBQ is experementing with various rubs, mops, marinades and pastes (wet rubs if you will). John's book for me was what got me started "Having fun". I highly suggest John's rubs and sauses, espicially if you ar just starting out. They are very good and work with a wide variety of meat, poultry or fish. John's instructions are very straight forward. If you catch the bug I also recomend Paul Kirk's "Championship Barbecue Sauces". Paul's book will take you deeper into the variaties of rubs, sauces etc. Above all remember - Have Fun and eat well!

Good inspiration for the working artist.......2007-04-01

This is a good source for artistic inspiration - I am a henna artist and most of the designs are easily adaptable into body art (for those of intermediate to advanced drawing skills). The only critiques I have are the lack of specific dates/origins of the designs and the lack of translations of arabic script. Given its nature as a general overview with hand-rendered drawings, it is a good resource to build your own artwork from, not to use as a historical reference book.

fascinating .......2006-03-17

terrific, i am enjoing every minute of looking in this wonderfull book

Good for Understanding Basic Motifs.......2005-08-29

The book is in black and white and is a rendering of motifs by Mr. Dowlatshahi. It is not a historical text or a book of pictures of Persian designs. It is his rendering of those designs. It is good for the purpose for which it was created: the use of Persian motifs in designing fabrics, textiles, etc...

great if you're going to make a persian rug.......2002-09-30

This book is perfect if your planning to make a nice rug. We bought it for henna designs. The patterns in this book are not good for mehndi. Nice designs though!

Super book - well researched, well written, and very thorough. Haffner covers just about everything parents need to know, sharing her own teaching and mothering experiences in a most valuable way. By far, the best book on this topic I have read.

Excellent Resource.......2007-07-24

As a pastor and a parent, I found this book accessible, interesting, to the point and a rich resource! I would recommend it to any parent, teacher or religious leader.

Excellent resource.......2007-07-24

Raising a sexually healthy child is a challenge in our world and Debra Haffner's book provides practical, realistic advice for parents with children of all ages. It's important to remember that being sexually healthy doesn't mean having sex! Among other things, it means understanding sexuality enough to decide when, why, how, and with whom to have sex...someday.

From Diapers to Dating is a gem!.......2007-07-23

I should have bought this book years ago!!!! It is filled with a wealth of information that ALL parents need to know. This book is a keeper and a book that I know I will continue to reference as my 6 and 8 year olds get older!!

Thank goodness for Reverend Haffner!.......2007-07-21

With all the negativity towards sexuality coming from so many religious voices these days, it is so wonderful to have a religious leader who is willing to speak articulately, passionately and intelligently about sexuality education and about the role that parents, schools and religious institutions play in supporting the development of sexually healthy adults by educating children in a sensitive and age-appropriate manner. This book is a terrific resource for parents -- I wish my parents had had access to it when I was growing up!

Book Description

A leading sexuality educator's warm, practical, step-by-step program for helping parents provide accurate information and communicate their own values to their children. Millions of Americans know Debra Haffner from her appearances on Dateline, Good Morning America, 20/20, and other network shows. Whether she is discussing how to help kids deal with the onslaught of sexual messages they see in the media or providing sensible guidance on teaching the facts of life, parents are comforted by Haffner's values-oriented approach to raising sexually healthy children. Her new book offers a wealth of practical techniques to help parents identify and communicate their own values about sexuality to their children. Organized from infancy through adolescence, each chapter includes:

Values Exercises: Questions to help parents sort out their own values about sexuality and decide what they want to teach their children.

What to Expect and How to Prepare: Lively discussions on each stage of a child's life, filled with relevant information, sparkling anecdotes, and sample conversations.

Teachable Moments: How to find and use opportunities throughout a child's life to bring up specific issues of sexuality instead of waiting to have that "big talk." Excerpted from the foreword by the author's 13-year-old daughter: "It hasn't always been easy having a mother who is a sexuality educator. Sometimes, it's hard to tell my new friends, their parents, and even my teachers, what she does for a living. But all in all, the positives outweigh the negatives. . . .Here's some of what's been good: I always can come to my mother with any question or problem. . . . She's great for science projects and homework. . . . I know that as I get older, my mom will be there for me and my friends."

Sound advice for raising sexually healthy children.......2001-09-09

As a parent of an 8 year old girl and 5 year boy, I find this book to be extremely helpful in giving advice on dealing with the often difficult questions about sexuality. This book provides advice on teaching children the proper names for all parts of their bodies (which I have always done anyway) to how to explain how babies are conceived to helping prepare for puberty, and I now feel much better prepared as a parent to discuss my children's developing sexuality with them.

Finally, a wholistic approach to sexuality education!.......1999-10-25

As a sexuality educator and parent I was estatic to read such a medically accurate and wholistic approach to sexuality education. I want to thank Debra Haffner for making my job as a parent and educator easier!

A practical & entertaining guide for all parents.......1999-08-20

In an engaging and entertaining fashion, the author addresses all the complex aspects of guiding your child's sexual education and development. With practical experience and professional expertise, she faces the tough situations of everyday parenting and provides useful advice for those anticipating how they will discuss sexuality with their children. Whether we like it or not, all children have questions about sexuality...This book prepares parents to answer those questions honestly AND in ways that will help children grow into healthy adults. This is a terrific resource and would make a perfect gift for parents of young children.

Here's the BUZZ: forget stories about the birds and bees!.......1999-07-27

If you've ever wondered how to deal with telling your kids about everything from the parts of their own body at age 2 to practicing safe sex as a teen ager, Diapers to Dating is the source to turn to. And forget the old, too embarrassing big talk about the birds and the bees, Author Debra Haffner takes us through a logical, caring approach that teaches us "everything your child wants to know about sex but is definately afraid, or too embarrassed to ask". What Doctor Spock did for children's health, Haffner does for children's healthy sexuality. This is a must-read for parents and just about anybody who wants to be a better part of our children's lives.

Should be in every parents' bookshelf before baby arrives.......1999-07-18

This is really a wonderful book - I wish my wife and I had had it when our children were younger. Haffner speaks as a parent of two children herself, with a professional background of a sexuality educator. Her advice is practical and specific and she has a warm and helpful "voice" in addressing parents - she admits her own mistakes and then tells you how she (or her husband) recovered from those mistakes.

She is a strong advocate of honesty and frankness about sexuality. She is clear that sexuality is intimately tied with values and challenges parents to be clear about their own values and communicate them to their children. She gives her opinion on matters that stump many parents (such as how to discuss masturbation, for example) but says that if your family's values are different from those that Haffner expresses, tell your children what you believe (but don't try to scare your child with incorrect or scientifically incorrect information).

This book should be in the baby basket for every new parent - Haffner makes it clear that sexuality education and discussions start from the very first. And she goes right through to those scary moments when your son or daughter is out on a date and you are wondering, "What's happening and what should I say or do?"

It's an outstanding reference, well written and lively.
