Sailor of the Air: The 1917-1919 Letters & Diary of Usn Cmm/a Irving Edward Sheely

Book Description

Sjogren's syndrome, currently the most prevalent autoimmune disorder in America, is disease in which the body mistakenly attacks its own moisture-producing glands in the eyes, mouth, skin, and vagina, disrupting the function of the internal organs and central nervous system. Written by two Sjogren's sufferers, this book provides medical information, research results, treatment methods, and suggestions for coping with this often debilitating disease.

Purchased this book for my Mother who was diagnosed with Sgogren's Syndrome, a disease we had never heard of. It helped us understand. Easy to read and understand.

A Must for All Sjogren's Patients.......2006-03-15

This book is the perfect companion for dealing , day to day, with this perplexing disease. There are so many different symptoms, and they combine in such a varied degree that most of us feel at a loss as to what to do. This book will become your constant reference companion, giving you information and ideas that, often, not even your Dr. can supply.

Sjogren's Syndrome Survival Guide.......2005-08-10

A lifesaver for recently diagnosed patients. The book covers so may aspects of a very complex disease. Written by People who know the disease.

Very helpful.......2004-04-30

I really enjoyed this book because it deals with the emotional and psychological effects of having a chronic illness. Sometimes when patients are diagnosed with autoimmune diseases they feel very frightened and alone...this book lets people know that others can totally empathize and relate to what they are experiencing. It gives advice on what to look for in a doctor (many are ignorant of autoimmune diseases!), and how to cope with people who just don't understand the debilitating impact of Sjogren's. I recommend this book in conjunction with the New Sjogren's Syndrome Handbook, which maps out the biomedical aspects of the disease.

Book Description

Seafood remains one of the most intimidating aspects of cooking to most home chefs.

In "The Tsunami Restaurant Cookbook," Chef/owner Ben Smith sets out to demystify the qualities of different fish as well as the Asian ingredients used in his award-winning, Memphis based Tsunami Restaurant kitchen. Anyone interested in healthy, Asian-influenced seafood cookery and the cooking style and philosophy of a chef with a penchant for creating "clean, uncluttered presentations" and "crisp, identifiable flavors" will find the "Tsunami Restaurant Cookbook" to be an inspiring and accessible tool.

Influenced by his culinary experiences from San Francisco to the South Pacific, Chef Smith includes over 150 recipes, such as Pacific Rim-inspired dishes like Sautéed Mahi-Mahi with Grilled Pineapple Salsa and Cilantro Pesto, Thai Beef Salad, and Lemongrass Ice Cream, as well as new twists on Latin American foods such as Scallop Ceviche and Chilled Avocado Soup. He even offers a nod to his Southern roots with innovative recipes like Crawfish Cakes with Black Bean Remoulade.

Chef Smith's practical advice and entertaining anecdotes, infused throughout this easy-to-use, elegantly photographed cookbook, give a glimpse into the daily life of this lively restaurateur. His infectious love of fresh and simple, internationally inspired dishes makes this a handy guide for anyone who has ever left their favorite Pacific Rim restaurant wanting to try it at home.

Must be better out there.......2005-05-20

This would be a great book if it is the last in your large collection, and you are looking for a card specific to something obscure like celebrating a chinese take-out! If you are looking for all around good ideas that can be easily adapted to a multitude of purposes and projects, this just isn't the book. While pretty to look at, I was disappointed from a practical point of view. I was going to sell it - until I noted that 40 other readers obviously thought the same thing (but didn't take the time to write a review it seems) Your time and dollars would be well spent looking for something else.

I was given this book as a gift and have found it to be full of great ideas. The cards vary in their technical difficulty, however even the ones that take a few more minutes are worth the effort. In this day and age when people can go on-line and send a greeting card over the internet, these cards send an extra special message to the receiver. I used many materials that I had on hand and those that I needed were easy to find. My children enjoyed helping with some of the cards and still love to look page by page at the projects. I have also given this book to several friends and they have commented on the beautiful design of the book and the projects. Keep them coming!

Great ideas for beginner and advanced, thanks again, Heidi!.......2005-05-13

After purchasing Heidi's "Simply Beautiful Beading", I couldn't wait for this book. I wasn't disappointed. Great ideas - some simple, some more advanced. Directions are clear, nice templates, clever embellishments. I was even able to use some of her techniques in demonstrations I gave. I'm looking forward to her next book! Highly recommend.

Awesome ideas!.......2005-05-12

I bought this book for my mother who loves to do crafts. In reading the book, I see that there are many projects that I can do myself. I think the ideas are fresh, the pages are colorful and the author simply knows how to market her talent. Great job and thanks for a great gift!

some clever, some fill.......2005-04-02

This book has some clever ideas but not enough to warrant "50 quick and easy" projects. There are a dozen or so that are quite fussy and seemingly without purpose, like the What's cooking? card, the beehive card, tropical escape, and the blue jeans card. The Wild kingdom card message is supposed to be Run wild, Stand tall, Be strong. I send cards for thanks yous, get wells, and thinking of yous plus the usual holidays and can think of no time when a zebra or giraffe theme would have been appropriate. That's what I mean by filler. With some stretch you could possibly actually use them. One thing to watch out for in this book is how much money you can end up spending on tools and materials. Many of the ingredients are of the store-bought kind, like vellum, stamps, and letter stickers, not 'found' things from around the house.

A greeting card book with more clever and less filler and expense would have garnered this a five star rating.

A MUST for every family...and every library.......2002-01-13

This whole series of books is fantastic. The reviews (usually a paragraph or so) are concise, insightful, and obviously written by people who have actually read and used the books with children. They're grouped according to reading level, and neatly cross-referenced by title, author, illustrator and topic, so you can quickly find what you need. In addition to the reviews (400 in this book alone) there is other useful information, like a complete list of Coretta Scott King Award titles and interesting web sites. Besides being a great (and inexpensive) reference book, it's also great fun to read!

the world's foremost jewish history does it again.......2001-09-01

Ken libo has shown an excellent ability to convey jewish history time and time again.. This book is no exception.. It's very readable, and will not let you down. If you want to concieve the struggles and successes of jews and others in the early twentieth century; buy this book.

Great book! For history buffs who like the personal side........1999-06-18

This is a great book. It's chock full of history told in an easy-to-read style. Leon Harris reveals the struggles and successes of 12 of the earliest Jewish retailers of America including Levi Strauss, Sears, Roebuck, Neiman, Marcus etc. It appeals to readers on many levels. First it is an historic account of the people whose names have become so familiar as store-names that we have forgotten there were ever people with those names. "Merchant Princes" includes many personal anecdotes about the founders of the stores and their families, retailing practices of yester-year and what these merchants did with their incredible wealth. Told by a Jew, about Jews, it reveals in surprisingly candid ways the ostracism of Jews in this country addressing how this all began. It's a book you can put down and pick up at any point without losing the flow. Jews will love it. Gentiles will be impressed. I was!
