5 out of 5 stars Great tales of WWII Flying Ace.......2000-09-25

An Ace and His Angel is a wonderful read. These tales, in WWII flying Ace "Stub" Hatch's own words, transport you back to a very unique time in American and World history. Hatch not only recounts his memories of bravely flying air combat missions over the European continent, but also tells of the real human emotion involved when men go to war. I highly recommend this book to anyone wishing to read about valor, courage, and what it meant to be a fighter pilot in the World's biggest war.

    2 out of 5 stars Where's the book for those of us on the eastside???.......2006-07-05

    I got this book as a gift and while there are some interesting things to do in it...there is almost NOTHING pertaining to anyone who doesn't live in Santa Monica or Beverly Hills. We live in a great community, La Crescenta, and would LOVE to know the preschools around here and parks and great places to shop. Most of the information is outdated now as well. FAO Schwartz is closed...etc.

    4 out of 5 stars Excellent resource.......2006-07-02

    I always refer to this book when planning birthday parties or before offering suggestions to newly pregnant friends. Most of the referrals are great. However, there is no means for readers to provide feedback to the authors. I used a referral from the book---Awesome Bounce-- and they showed up 2 hours after my daughter's birthday party started. They were completely unprofessional and unapologetic. This is the only instance in which I was really disappointed by the book.

    4 out of 5 stars city baby la, 2nd edition.......2006-05-05

    THis is a great book ! It's a wonderful resource if you live in LA on the west side. I used the first edition when i had my first child, and i now use the 2nd edition with my 3rd child.

    i love the descriptors of the vendors,and the ease of finding what your looking for since they've narrowed down your search by reccommending their favorites.

    The kids haircut section i use over and over again.

    1 out of 5 stars Not for Parents East of Westwood.......2005-09-23

    This book should be titled "City Baby WESTSIDE". Where's the information on parks, playgrounds and preschools for those of us who live in, say, Silverlake? We wasted our money.

    1 out of 5 stars City Baby L.A. - Dont buy it, use a phone book........2004-04-23

    This book is pages and pages of listings of things like daycare centers and their phone numbers. It is also geared toward the woman who is about to have a baby a lot. Dont waste your money. Buy "Baby's day out in Southern California" which is the great book recommended by the triple-A.

    5 out of 5 stars How a Library Checkout Became a Personal Library Must.......2006-09-16

    About two weeks ago, I checked this book out from my local library. The title caught my eye because I was raised on a farm in flyover country and I love simple dishes made from an abundance of my own garden vegetables and fruit.

    I've been cooking from it ever since. What a discovery! Susan is to be celebrated. I ignored her stories - at first - and just blazed through the recipes until I found one that I really liked - that also solved my zuchinni and basil bumper crop problem: "Giannola Nonino's Summer Zucchini Pasta". Other new recipes and great family dinners followed. Today, I cooked pizzas using "Maria's Pizza Dough" and "Nunzio's Tomato Sauce". Simple ingredients, simple to cook, tasty results.

    I'm also a recovering 20-year frequent flying business traveler (yes, I've been around Italy, too). I am now working from my home and in my 11th happy month of recovery. Trust me, you will grow to dispise and regret fancy food (too complex for a simple-minded stomach) and long for whatever is fresh right now, combined with very simple but (thanks to the Internet and places like Trader Joes's) pretty cheap Italian ingredient sources.

    Within a couple of days, I started reading everything: the farms Susan stayed at, the people who bragged about their dishes - and their versions of those classic dishes. I have now read the whole book, and can't wait to start using the Italian equivalant of Bell and Mason jar canning and freezing recipes to store away my basil, zuchinni, bell peppers and green beans.

    All of the recipes I've tried have made it to family-requested repeat dinners and leftovers-into-lunchbags.

    For me, this goes right alongside "The Joy of Cooking", "The Vegetarian Epicure" series, and "El Norte" on my in-kitchen bookshelf.

    Good on you, Susan Loomis! I'm looking forward to trying everyday family French food. God knows, I don't want to eat any more of the high-end restaurant stuff.

    Thanks for a great cookbook.

    4 out of 5 stars An Excellent Foodie Read on Italian Country Cuisine.......2004-11-25

    The `Italian Farmhouse Cookbook' by Susan Hermann Loomis is part of a three (3) book series of farmhouse recipe books covering France and the US as well as Italy. My first and most important caution to the prospective buyer is that if all you want is a book of Italian recipes, there are easily a hundred or more books that would better fill that need. Ms. Loomis books are very good, but they are as much or more for readers and foodies as they are for cooks. At least a third of the text in this book gives background on Italian farmers, their life, and their produce. A second reason for this caution is based on an observation I saw in `The Medieval Kitchen' which points out that in the 15th century, city cooking was much more interesting than country cooking, as major urban trading centers had both access to foreign products and a nobility which encouraged creative cooking. Lest you think much has probably changed in the last 500 years, Ms. Loomis' book itself states that Italian country cooking was, until very recently, limited by poor roads and limited trade.

    This is not to say this is not a good book. In fact, for travelers who may have an interest in visiting rural Italy, it is an excellent book. It is also excellent in giving a picture of rural agriculture in Italy over the last 100 years. It is quite surprising how recently the Italian peasant has been freed from a crippling economic serfdom by both the national Italian government and the European Economic Community centered in Brussels. All sorts of things that new foodies assume have been around for centuries such as fine Italian wines, dried pasta, high quality olive oil, and grappa comparable to French cognac are actually very recent developments. One can easily get the wrong impression from the age of other products such as Parmesano-Reggiano and prosciutto de Parma that Italy has always been the culinary dynamo it is today.

    I must say the recipes in this book are very good and very typically Italian. The surest symptom of an Italian style recipe is when one wonders that you need a recipe at all to make the dish. Just as I marvel at the utter simplicity of Italian influenced recipes from London's River Café and Jamie Oliver, most of the recipes in this book are based on simplicity itself. Even better, there is very little use of premium ingredients such as truffles and balsamic vinegar. On the other hand, I am a little puzzled at how few recipes there are featuring wild mushrooms and wild greens such as dandelion and nettles. There are a fair number of recipes for game such as guinea hens and wild boar. This is great for the accuracy of the book's picture of Italian rural cuisine, but it does not add a lot to the count of recipes useable by a foodie in suburban Newark.

    I am especially pleased that the book covers the full range of Italian regions from Friuli to Sicily to Sardinia. I am especially pleased to see a recipe for the traditional Sardinian flatbread. This recipe plus a few others may be worth the price of admission, as it is an easy preparation that requires no fussing with yeast or any other leaveners.

    The subjects of the recipe chapters follow a very traditional Italian model based on courses. The chapter titles are:

    Appetizers and Snacks, including sidebars on Buffalo mozzarella and Italian organic farming.
    Salads, including sidebars on Balsamic Vinegar and capers.
    Soups, both Minestre and zuppa.
    First Courses, including sidebars on Parmigiano-Reggiano and rice farming.
    Second courses, primarily lamb, pork, poultry, rabbit, and boar.
    The Vegetable Garden, including sidebars on grappa, organic farming, and peppers.
    From the Bread Oven. Not a lot, as the Italians, like the French, typically bought bread from the baker.
    Sweet, Sweet, with fruit, nut cakes, fruit tarts, and marmalades.
    The Pantry, or what to keep on hand to whip up fast meals.
    The basics, or how to make brodo and doughs.

    This is the kind of cookbook you read in bed at night to better understand a major world cuisine and get ideas for improvisations based on the Italian style of cooking. The paperback is simply not up to the rigors of standing open on the kitchen table.

    This is an excellent background book to accompany more systematic treatments of Italian cuisine such as the excellent books by Marcella Hazan, Lydia Bastianich, and Giuliano Bugialli.

    5 out of 5 stars Anxiously Awaiting.......2004-07-29

    The 11th Reviewer of the Italian Farmhouse Cookbook is such
    a naysayer! I've been 'eyeing' this cookbook for the past year
    and I can't wait to get my ovenmitts on it!
    As another Reviewer said, 'this is a FARMHOUSE cookbook';
    recipes made by REAL people and recipes meant to be used, instead
    of merely looked at on the coffee table.

    5 out of 5 stars If I Were A Green Bean...........2004-05-07

    If I were a green bean willing to sacrifice myself for someone's dinner, I'd hope that they read Susan Hermann Loomis' Italian Farmhouse Cookbook and prepared me as 'Green Beans with Tomatoes' with fresh sage, olive oil, and garlic.

    We had Loomis' green beans tonight along with 'Chicken with Lemon Rosemary Salt.' Last night we had her 'Red Onion Pizza' which is made with the best homemade pizza dough that I've found anywhere.

    If you're looking for a good Italian cookbook with simple recipes and easy prep this is it.

    Mark this one KEEPER.

    5 out of 5 stars Condiments and pizza dough are worth every penny.......2003-09-28

    I loved this cookbook. I would urge anyone to use her trick to make balsamic vinegar thick and sweet, and the versatile dough used to make pizza and rolls is heavenly! I really enjoyed all of the stories in it also. Great book!

                        Book Description

                        The fruit fly Drosophila has been a major research organism in the molecular revolution that has swept through all areas of biology over the last two decades. Profound new insights into general mechanisms underlying animal development, behavior and evolution have emerged from Drosophila research. Only recently, however, have molecular biologists turned their attention to the many insect pests that plague agriculture and public health worldwide. This book reviews and extends the spectacular research progress with Drosophila and surveys the exciting early results and vast potential of exploiting molecular biology to control pest insects. Topics covered include: - the molecular genetics of insect meiosis, tissue differentiation, sex determination and biological rhythms; - the molecular basis of insect resistance to chemical insecticides and the development of alternative, genetically engineered microbial insecticides; - molecular tools for studying insect systematics and population biology; - gene cloning techniques and prospects for genetically engineering insects of economic importance. Molecular Approaches to Fundamental and Applied Entomology will be of interest to entomologists, cell and molecular biologists, and students and researchers in agriculture, plant science, and public health.

                            1 out of 5 stars Nursery Nurse Speaks Out.......2003-07-22

                            As a Intensive Care Nursery Nurse, as well as the parent of a former premature baby, Helen Harrison's book is extremely outdated. It was a bible when it was first published in 1983, but the field of neonatal medicine is constantly changing and any book written over 5 years ago is probably outdated, not to mention 20 years ago. My hat is off to Helen Harrison for her pioneering the field of premature parenting,but there are many other more recent books which will be far more useful to premature parents than this one.

                            5 out of 5 stars Mom to a former preemie that was one pound, eleven ounces.......2002-12-10

                            I am a Mom to a former preemie. My daughter was born nine years ago and this book helped me understand with what was going on with our little girl. This is a great book and I give a lot of credit to Helen Harrison, Ann Kositsky for writing such a great book.

                            2 out of 5 stars Good info if your baby was born 20 years ago!.......2001-10-01

                            This USED to be the bible of premie books. Twenty plus years later we have made tremendous strides in saving babies. Even 15 years ago I found many of the scenarios to be too depressing and no longer realistic. I do hope the author will come out with an update since so many people are directed to this book. In the meantime, I highly recommend (and use often when helping parents understand the crisis of their babies premature birth)Newborn Intensive Care: what every parent needs to know by Jeanette Zaichkin and published by NICU Ink. In 1983 we were just beginning to involve parents in their babies care and seeing them as an integral part of "the team". This newer book (1996) focuses on those things that parents can do to maximize their babies outcomes. Don't distress yourself over medical problems that are more easily treated today. Instead, empower yourself with positive information!!!

                            5 out of 5 stars Laurel's Primer for Parents of Micro-Preemies.......2000-11-16

                            As the father of two identical twin girls born at 26 weeks andaveraging 2 pounds each -- I found The Premature Baby Book to be veryhelpful in gaining an understanding of premature care and treatment. Iordered the book written by Helen Harrison and Ann Kositsky (as wellas several others) and found their book to be the most comprehensiveof books on the market addressing premature birth. My only criticismof the book is that many of the statistics utilized within the bookare out-dated and present a somewhat pessimistic view regardingpremature survival and disabilities. I highly recommend this book ifyou have a premature child.

                            Note that my daughter, Laurel, did notsurvive. After 24 days of making steady improvement, Laurel contractedNEC and rapidly deteriorated. Laurel's identical twin sister, Caitlin,is now 2 1/2 years old and is both health and happy. However, in manyways my mind and feelings still live the trauma of my children beingmicro-preemies. In Laurel's memory I wrote a booklet (distributed forfree) just for parents of micro-preemies. The booklet is not intendedto replace the book length treatment of the issues addressed in ThePremature Baby Book, rather the booklet is designed to give parentssome basic information pending the arrival of their Amazon order...that you have the need to order The Premature Baby Book. You and yourfamily will be in my thoughts.

                            4 out of 5 stars Premature Baby Book - Great Guide.......2000-04-06

                            I agree with the other two reviewers regarding this book. A friend of mine recommended this book to me after I had my son prematurely. It answered alot of questions that the doctors didn't or couldn't sufficiently answer. I would recommend this book to anyone who has had a premature baby. The information is clear, understandable and written for the parent-not a medical clinician. My only fault with the book is that some of the information is outdated because it was written in the '80s and there have been great advances in the care of premature babies since the book was published.

                                  5 out of 5 stars Life is just like a journey..........2005-08-06

                                  Traveling always brings a new dimension to yourself. This is an odyssey of a Sansei(the third generation of Japanese-American) woman, who has been wondering about who she is and where she belongs.
                                  Like Amy Tan's "The Opposite of Fate", she wrotes about her background (her immigrant grandparents, Nisei-Kibei parents, sister and herself) and her identity crisis.
                                  After growing up, she went on a trip to Asia (Japan, China, and Nepal) and met nice local people, and found some family secrets and her new Asian identity. Eventually, she comes to feel more comfortable to be Asian-American.
                                  I recently happened to take this book while traveling in Seattle. I'm so glad to find such an amazing book.

                                  I would suggest that you read this only after reading The Strangeness of Beauty, which is a wonderfully written novel.

                                  I was reading "Growing Up Asian American" and had it for over a year. Recently I have been wanting to hear more from other Asian Americans and so, resumed reading the excerpts authors shared. I read Ms. Minatoya's story and was disappointed that there wasn't more! So the next day I went and bought Talking to High Monks in the Snow. And I have just finished reading it. It's one of those books that I come across infrequently, the kind that I absolutely MUST get to the last page before I go to sleep. Because of school I longed for the moments when I could sit and enjoy my newfound treasure, on trains, breaks, at home. Ms. Minatoya is subtle in her writing but it sure hits you when you're through with the sentence. I felt the pangs of pain and embarassment and degradation when she did. It brought back sad memories. The great thing though is that she isn't sappy and she doesn't want my pity just because I relate to her. Ms. Minatoya is eloquently matter-of-fact. With each section of her book, I was amazed more and more. I wished I went to all the places she has been to, Boston, Japan, China, Nepal, and done the things she has. Actually, I admire her because she was and probably still is BOLD and DETERMINED. She has gone to all these countries and actually lived and worked there, not just visit as a tourist. She has taught and communicated deeply with people in these countries. Thanks to Ms. Minatoya, I have this urge to start a club at my college. A reading and discussional group for Asian Americans and non-Asians. I feel that many in my school and city do not appreciate our rich heritage as much as I wish they did. A club that will teach and show through discussions, reading, and debate, the sincere, talented, proud people such as Ms. Minatoya. Talking to High Monks in the Snow is a truly wonderful book for Asians and non-Asians alike. Before I read it for the second time...Thanks Amazon for letting me share my thoughts!
