          5 out of 5 stars For beginners up to seasoned PIT MASTERS!!.......2000-08-22

          Having read many books on the subject of Barbequing, this is the most informational book for simple rubs, amazing sauces, building your fire and smoking anything from whole hogs to a chicken leg. Take your time reading this book just as you would cooking great Barbeque.

          3 out of 5 stars Expected more recipes for Jack Daniels . ........2000-08-15

          With all the hype over this book, I was a bit disappointed. It was my understanding that all of the recipes had Jack Daniels in the recipes, but I didn't find that many recipes with Jack Daniels. Also, there were very few pictures of the food. Other than giving me a lot of recipes for sauces, it gave me a lot of barbequing ideas.

          5 out of 5 stars Very tasty, fantastic photo's and recipes. WELL DONE !.......1999-10-31

          Fantastic doesn't begin to describe this "cookbook ".Getting an actual recipe from this book is an added bonus- we found the book just plain fun to pick-up and browse through the exquisite photo's of Americana and witty text !

          5 out of 5 stars The only barbecue cookbook needed in your kitchen library.......1998-07-24

          Vince Staten is an expert at quite a few things--hardware, old movies, American cultural history--but maybe the thing he knows best is barbecue and barbecue sauces. This makes him my hero. Around Louisville Vince is the ringleader of the barbecue culture crowd, and we need more of 'em. This book is a right-on repository of barbecue knowledge, delivered in Vince's inimitable, hilarious style. We recommend it.

          4 out of 5 stars This book is great for the beginning barbecuist........1998-05-19

          Lots and lots of sauces. Plenty of tips on cooking lots of different kinds of meat. I learned a ton from this book. It's great to have around just for the recipes!

            Book Description

            With 20 fascinating projects, this title challenges even the most accomplished turners. Chapters focus on three secrets of turning—marking with precise mathematical formulae, constructing purpose-built jigs and chucks, and making and adapting special turning tools—while also discussing safety procedures and inexpensive sources for readily available wood. The projects range from a delightful old-fashioned whistling top and a yo-yo to the incredible turned trickery of cubes in spheres, stars in cubes, and interlocking spheres.

            4 out of 5 stars Woodturnin Wizardry.......2007-06-08

            An excellent, well-illustrated book for accomplished and advanced woodturners. Not for beginners, except to let them know what the big boys can do.

            5 out of 5 stars Woodturning Wizardry.......2007-01-05

            I found it to a very helpful book. The layout is excellent and easy to follow. I would highly recommend it.

            3 out of 5 stars Beginners Beware/Great Book.......2007-01-04

            This is a great book that will certainly get your imagination working overtime. Good for inspiration, but only the more advanced turners could probably be successful at any of these projects. Not to mention a few specialty tools or if you already have a large variety of tools to work from. With about five years experiance and making many complex pieces, this was still a bit over my head, or maybe because of being limited by my lathe and tool selection. BUT I got some great ideas from this book that have "turned" into some nice pieces. I will conquer a few of these prodjects but for now I'll keep turning...

            4 out of 5 stars Here comes the Wiz!.......2006-01-24

            David Springett has brought together a set of clear, step by step instructions to build jigs that make the unthinkable thinkable, and the impossible possible. If you are interested in lattice turning, spheres, Chinese balls and rings, interlocking spheres, and many other mind blowing turnings, then this book is a must read. The most amazing project is the turned box inside a sphere.

            The projects are step by step and fully illustrated with clear well taken photograps. Springett also includes clear instructions on how to make the tools needed to make the lattice cuts and undercuts needed with the various spherical turnings.

            5 out of 5 stars Woodturning Wizardry.......2006-01-18

            Woodturning Wizardry takes the reader through the steps necessary to make 14 different projects. Although, at first these projects look extremely difficult, David clearly explains all the steps necessary to successfully complete each piece. The first part of the book describes the attributes of different types of wood that are suitable for these projects. The next chapter gives clear details for making the jigs and chucks necessary for these and other similar projects. He also shows the reader how to make the specialized tools necessary for these projects out of high carbon tool steel or old wood chisels. His toolmaking chapter gives exact measurements for the tools as well as detailed drawing showing how to fabricate them.

            The projects in the book are incredible and include such things as an arrow through a bottle, lattice circles, offset lattice lids, boxes with domed lattice lids, Singapore balls, Chinese balls and rings and interlocking spheres, to name a few. With the aid of this book and some patience, the reader could learn to make some extraordinary turnings.

            This book is must read for anyone interested in taking their woodturning skills in this direction.

            5 out of 5 stars A cookbook far beyond the norm.......2005-08-12

            It's called "a gardening book for cooks and a cookbook for gardeners." David Hirsch has updated and revised this different and terrific cookbook. The subtitle ("Creative Gardening for the Adventurous Cook"), encapsulates quite nicely why this is a cookbook far beyond the norm. Written specifically to help in growing vegetables so that we can cook with them, each flower, herb or vegetable is accompanied by tips for its best use in the kitchen.

            Published originally in 1992, the 2004 update includes more information, resources and recipes. The text is simple yet thorough, and is chock-full of tips, ideas, illustrations and charming anecdotes. In simple, straightforward text, Hirsch gives instructions for growing, harvesting, and cooking with over 75 vegetables and herbs.

            The cookbook is accessible for beginners, while being complex and satisfying enough for more experienced gardeners. Chapters are devoted to gardening techniques, crop rotation, seed starting, and natural ways to defend against insects. Another chapter covers various kinds of gardens, from hillside, to walled patio, to container gardening, while the 70+ recipes will showcase the fruits of your labor and help transform them to the the pleasures of the table.

            The recipes are delicious and comprehensive, from soups, dips and salads to appetizers and main dishes. Hirsch also includes information on cooking times and techniques, as well as the effective use of herbs (with advice for planting, compatibility and cooking). It is hard to pick favorites, but the Vegetable "Pasta", Summer Rolls, and Portuguese Kale Soup are among my favorites so far.

            The recipes are not all vegan (although of course they are vegetarian), but vegan options can be substituted (soy cheese for non-soy, etc). A must have cookbook for gardeners and cooks alike.--By Lisa Steele

            5 out of 5 stars If you love the Moosewood cookbooks, you'll love this book........1998-04-18

            This is an easy-to-use and easy to read book with helpful tips on not only selecting and growing, but cooking with your veggies, edible flowers and herbs. There is also a great list of mail-order sources with descriptions of supplies. I especially liked the design section for its simple and straightforward approach to considerations and approaches towards my garden layout.

            I loved this book! I love picture books, so this satisfied my desire to stare in awe at gorgeous gardens, however, it also was very detailed and explicit in how to content. I thought it was the perfect balance between inspiration and explanation.

            5 out of 5 stars Change your garden, change your life!.......2003-09-05

            This book was given to me as a Mother's day present... and I thank my mother-in-law every time I open it! As an organic gardening teacher in a Montessori elementary school, I have found this book to be inspirational to children and grown-ups alike. The photos are gorgeous, of course. But it is the way Larkom puts her gardens together that is the most compelling aspect of this beautiful book. You will never look at your vegetable (or flower) garden the same. Mixing edible flowers into vegetable beds in stunning geometric patterns, weaving intriquing and useful elements like benches and fences out of willow or other local materials, making phantasmagorical trellises for peas and other climbers, creating an environment for you to spend hours of pure joy while eating fresh, organic food... does it get any better than this? The end of the book features an alphabetical listing with pictures and growing info on most of the plants she works with as well as great how-to tips on every aspect of home gardening. My students, after looking through the pictures, cannot wait to get to work making a dream garden for all of us to thrive in. Just buy it!

                      "We are a sleep-sick society," says William C. Dement, M.D., Ph.D. According to Dr. Dement, "sleep science" has yielded a great deal of scientific knowledge about sleep--yet the general public, and even doctors, aren't aware of it. Sleep disorders are routinely misdiagnosed or ignored, sometimes resulting in medical tragedy and death, frequently leading to chronic exhaustion. In The Promise of Sleep, Dr. Dement aims to remedy that by making the latest sleep information accessible to health professionals and lay readers. He describes the sleep cycle and gives a short history of sleep research. Then he dives into clear and detailed explanations of concepts and conditions we've all heard about, but that few of us understand: sleep debt, biological clock, circadian rhythm, insomnia, sleep apnea, narcolepsy. He discusses why we need sleep (sounds obvious, but it isn't) and the role of dreams. After 300 pages of sleep facts, Dr. Dement teaches you how to "reclaim healthy sleep" in your own life. You learn to assess your personal sleep situation by keeping a sleep diary, measuring your sleep debt, and evaluating your risk of sleep disorders; find appropriate treatment; manage sleep crises; and adopt a "sleep-smart lifestyle." A three-week "sleep camp" program at the end helps you put all the strategies together. This book will put you to sleep--and that's meant as praise! --Joan Price

                      Book Description

                      Healthy sleep has been proven to be the single most important determinant in predicting longevity-more influential than diet, exercise or heredity-but our modern culture has become a study in sleep deprivation. Technology's world without darkness wreaks havoc on our body clocks. We sacrifice sleep to meet the demands of our endless days. Our doctors regard sleep deprivation as a fact of life-and do little to promote sleep health or awareness. Meanwhile, the physical, emotional and psychological costs of our unhealthy sleep life continue to mount, largely without mention.

                      In The Promise of Sleep, world-renowned sleep authority William C. Dement, M.D., offers the definitive look into this unexplored but vital part of our lives, giving readers the information they need to reclaim their birthright to a good night's sleep. Drawing on his decades of experience on the frontiers of sleep science, Dr. Dement explains what happens when we sleep, taking readers on a remarkably lively tour of the sleeping body and mind. We learn of sleep's surprisingly powerful effect on our overall health, from our immune system to our psychological well-being, and see first-hand the many ways in which sleep loss and sleep deprivation can put us in harm's way, inhibit our motivation and creativity, and rob us of the vitality that makes life worth living. And he shows how the sleep awareness to be gained from such insight can be our society's most powerful weapon to combat the sleep deprivation epidemic that costs untold lives and resources each year.

                      Sharing wisdom gained through years of sleep lab experience, Dr. Dement gives hands-on advice on how to get the sleep we need, addressing such popular topics as: sleep disorders and their cures; the role of prescription and over-the-counter sleeping aids; recovery from jet lag and other temporary obstacles to a healthy sleep life; the power of naps; and more. He also offers his seven principles of healthy sleep, and tells readers how they can discover their own "sleep point" and learn how much sleep they truly need.

                      As insightful as Listening to Prozac, inspiring as Spontaneous Healing, and empowering as The Gift of Fear, The Promise of Sleep illuminates the little-understood "forgotten third" of our lives, and gives us the tools we need to unlock its abundant gifts for the rest of our lives.

                      The author is one of the pioneers of sleep research, totally in command of his subject and it's surprising exactly how important sleep is in a healthy lifestyle. My only complaint: I would have preferred more sleep research results and less sleep research.

                      5 out of 5 stars Wonderful work.......2007-01-19

                      "After all the research I've done on sleep problems over the past four decades, my most significant finding is that ignorance is the worst sleep disorder of them all."

                      A half century of work combined to create a unique perspective. The first chapters deal with the basics: what sleep is and what we know about it. The next chapters deal with biology and sleep debt; causes: such as insomnia, apnea, narcolepsy, and fatigue; the effects: on the immune system and mood; dreams; personal needs; children; lifestyle. The appendix contains a list of sleep centers in each state.

                      "People need to change the way they sleep and live."

                      My sleep problems were brought on by personal troubles and trying to run a business 24/7; simplification was the answer. Excellent book; highly recommended, even for those just interested in the subject.

                      "Healthy sleep has been empirically proven to be the single most important determination in predicting longevity."

                      Wish you well

                      3 out of 5 stars Important reference, too long, a bit dated.......2007-01-09

                      If you have just become interested in sleep disorders and want to know the foundations, this book is likely a must read by a pioneer in the field. The author makes a strong case that the medical issues of humans during the night is much undervalued in current practice. However, the book is too long, and is written in an inefficient and chatty style that doesn't have an obvious organizational structure to it. This makes it hard to use as a reference for the serious reader and a bit too ponderous for the casual lay reader. Furthermore, after reading other references and recent sleep and medical literature, it is likely that the author's rigid theory of a sleep deficit, and other major conclusions, are matters of current debate. The book, therefore, is a bit dated.

                      5 out of 5 stars The Best! My insomnia has been gone for years now.......2006-11-21

                      I had a bad case of insomnia which after reading this book and following its principles has never returned

                      5 out of 5 stars Thoroghly and well written by The Man of Sleep himself........2006-11-03

                      Dement tells us himself how the study of sleep got started and took off, but then how scientists now are not giving sleep the attention it deserves. Sleep deprivation leads to depression, listlessness, lack of motivation, decreased alertness, and possible involuntary sleep episodes (falling asleep at the wheel, sleep apnea, etc.). Missed sleep is not made up by sleeping more the next day/night but rather accumulates over days and months until one has a vast accumulation of "sleep debt". This is proven through scientific studies as Dement iterates in his text. Helpful and informative, this is the book for anyone suffering from lack of sleep and is the foremost book on the subject of sleep for psychological courses focused on sleep & sleep disorders. Also includes Freud's and Jung's explanations of why we dream.

                        Book Description

                        A tribute to an artist unafraid to break with tradition.

                        In her own glowing paintings and lucid text, Deborah Kogan Ray tells the fascinating life story of the Japanese artist Hokusai (1760-1849). He rose from poverty, taught himself to draw, became the promising pupil of a great master, and then defied tradition to become one of the most important and influential artists in the world.

                        Ray's paintings are rich with period and biographical detail. The endpapers show drawings from Hokusai's sketchbooks. Also included is one of his famous Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji.

                        5 out of 5 stars HANDS THAT DREW SACRED MOUNT FUJI SKETCHED LION-DOGS FOR LUCK !.......2006-03-31

                        Authors are often advised to "write what you know" but when a Japanese artist in the 19th century defied convention to paint the familiar - - the humblest of peasants, 'fragrant' laborers in fish markets - - wealthy patrons would not buy his art. However, Hokusai persisted and his influence has been phenomenal. He used more than thirty other names in his lifetime. The name "Hokusai" was adopted officially when he was 36 years old. It meant *North Star Studio." Hokusai was a Buddhist and believed that the constellations had the power to guide him. His art was his 'North Star' I believe, or his sun or moon? Sometimes we read about persons that we *ache* to have known; Hokusai was such a person for me.

                        Amazingly he changed his place of residence more than ninety times. Every morning he sketched a *lion-dog* for good luck. It may have had something to do with his longevity; he did not die until he was in his ninetieth year! He painted often the actors in the Noh theatre, and the more plebeian Kabuki plays. Those flamboyant actors leant themselves to portraiture that easily found buyers. His woodcut "The Great Wave off Kanegawa" (reproduced in Ray's book) has probably been "altered" or used for cartoons, t-shirts, etc., as often as Grant Wood's "American Gothic."

                        Can any of us imagine composing over 30,000 works of art in a lifetime? Hokusai claimed he drew nothing of great note before the age of 70. He called himself *Gakyo Rojin* which translates "old man mad about painting." As mentioned, his 'output' was prodigious. His mother died when he was six years old. She had promised to take him on a pilgrimage to Mt. Fuji, and his fascination for the mountain never waned. Cherry trees bloomed like billowing clouds on the pilgrims' path in his paintings. I would have thought him too busy and/or preoccupied to have a wife but he did, and they had three children.

                        Ray's own illustrations are strong in outline & rich colors and happily complement the text and Hokusai's own sketches from his *MANGA* shown in the book's endpapers - - All are an excellent introduction to Hokusai's art. It is a children's biography well-designed for all ages to learn from and savor. Reviewer mcHAIKU highly recommends Deborah Kogan Ray's book for generational sharing. Even though our language is not represented by 'pictographs' some children might be inspired to make their own penmanship more legible - - even artistic!

                        This story of a famous Japanese artist (1760-1849) is beautifully written and illustrated. It is a story of rising beyond the limitations of class, of educating oneself through persistence and hard work, and of not being confined by the narrow views of others to reach one's potential. Katsushik Hokusai influenced the work of Western Impressionists artists. This is a book not to be missed if you are studying this prolific artist.
