        4 out of 5 stars Decent guide.......2006-12-18

        Has all the basics you would expect. Definitely worth a buy - along with THe Partier's Guide to Rio (this has some of the other "must do/see" items like particular foods that you've gotta try).

        2 out of 5 stars too basic.......2003-12-05

        The guide wasn't that helpful in defining our itenerary or discovering Rio. The guide only covers hotels and restaurants and the restaurants were either tourist traps or filled with other travelors... hard to get a taste of local tradition.

            Book Description

            Lar Hothem's first four books on this subject have been great sellers, and Book V, the first of the series in full color, will sell even better with nearly as many photographs as the first two books combined, and no repeats from any of the other books! There are over 2,150 full-color photographs featuring thousands of specimens from our ancient past. Hothem, widely known for his research and publications in the field of Indian artifacts, gives the collector all the necessary facts about each item featured, such as important details, size, date, location found, and current collector value. Once again this book covers the artifacts found in the heartland of North America, with its primary emphasis on the more common, readily available types, not the museum pieces virtually never seen or found. A new feature of this volume is a section on artifact record keeping. A present-day treasury documenting America's past! AUTHORBIO: Lar Hothem is a well-known expert in the field of Indian arrowheads and artifacts. His popular series, Indian Artifacts of the Midwest series has now added its fifth volume. His other titles include Indian Axes Related Stone Artifacts, Indian Pipes, Arrowheads Projectile Points, and Indian Trade Relics. REVIEW: This is the fifth book in Hothem's popular series, and it's loaded with hundreds of types of artifacts. The Paleo, Archaic, Woodland, and Mississippian Periods are covered. Collecting tips are also provided. This is the first in the series to be featured in full-color, and the photo details are sharp! -Edward Teagues

            2 out of 5 stars Nice descriptions but no color photos........1999-09-02

            The descriptions and price estimates were helpful. The complete lack of color photos, except for the cover, was an extreme disapointment. The photos ranged from average to poor quality and were of limited value in indentifying artifacts. I feel the book description should have clearly noted the lack of color photos.

            5 out of 5 stars Identification of a Recently Aquired Treasure.......1997-11-01

            One week ago I went to do some house hunting and found something I wasn't looking for. While going through the house I came upon a large collection of Indian Artifacts. I knew almost nothing about them but susspected they were highly valuable. The next day an estate auction was held and I purchased the collection. Upon searching the internet for some information it became obvious what the best source was for identification of my midwest collection, Lar Hothem's book "Indian Artifacts of the Midwest." I purchased the book and was able to quickly identify many of the pieces that I knew nothing about. The book was written so a "layman" like myself could easily understand and identify many of the the basic artifacts. The quality photographs added to the pleasure of my learning. I was very pleased to realize the age, almost 10,000 years, and value of my collection. Thanks to such a thorough and readable source I now find myself hooked on the collecting and identifying of very interesting artfacts left in my area so long ago.

            5 out of 5 stars The best for your south florida adventures.......2006-04-25

            I was looking for ideas for pages because we are going to do a family reunion at Disney. This is a once in a lifetime event and I wanted to scrap it for the little ones. I took out so many books from the library and pages through dozens of books at the craft store. Then I came accross this gem.

            Practically every layout begs to be re-defined for our pages. The book starts out with beach pages and has a particullarly nice "Cousins are Friends" page that will work quite nice for our expented family. The outings section is 90% Disney layouts, including what to do with your Epcot travels and Animal Kingdom. It also has a few Sea World layouts for that side trip. In the outdoor section it has camping pages that work well if you are staying at Ft Wildreness. Also a great spelunking section, which I have never seen before.

            While I checked this book out from the library, I now want to buy a copy for my collection as it is a wonderful layout resourse. As a beginner I did not find the very short and basic layout directions to be too difficult. The book names the manufacturer of the items used and probably assumes you will be consulting the various directions or just using your own creativity to alter the layouts.

            5 out of 5 stars Great idea book!.......2004-05-29

            A great addition to any scrapbooker's collection!
            When I first saw this book I was just amazed that I had finally found a book dedicated to vacation scrapbook pages. And after opening it, I was thrilled that it didn't disappoint like so many other scrapbook idea books I've seen in the past. Anyone needing great examples for vacation layouts should definitely pick up this book. While the book doesn't provide much in written tips and ideas it does provide pages upon pages of beautifully designed layouts. These pages will have your creative juices flowing in no time. Happy scrapping!

              Book Description

              The renaissance of wood in architecture began already in the early 1990s following the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. A lively interest in sustainable materials made wood particularly attractive and it became an important feature in the developing global ecology. Wood as a building material stands for a healthy interior environment, free of harmful toxic substances, with naturally balanced humidity and comfortable regulated temperatures. This volume documents in full technical detail 25 timber buildings in three main areas: residential buildings, holiday homes, and living and working. The individual projects cover a large spectrum of sizes, budgets, and types of construction, and they also show wood in combination with such materials as stone, concrete, and steel. The examples documented are from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Finland, Ireland, USA, Canada, China, Australia, and Brazil, and the architects include such renowned names as Mario Botta, Kengo Kuma and Baumschlager + Eberle.

              5 out of 5 stars Its So Logical!.......1999-11-27

              I was given this book when both my children were in their early elementary school years. I read it cover to cover and couldn't believe how easy and logical it was. Taking the words from the title "logical consequences" says it all.

              We must raise our children to be responsible for their actions. Letting them suffer the consequences of their actions is much more effective then ever raising a hand.

              It does take some strength for a parent to let their children make mistakes, however, your child will not forget and probalby will not duplicate his/her mistake again.

              I am very proud of what each of my children have become. They have the character, compassion and moral fiber that is so lacking in the world today. I thank God for the day "The New Approach to Discipline: "Logical Consequences" was handed to me. It became my bible. Every parent should read it.

              5 out of 5 stars An excellent way to discipline while minimizing the anger........1999-04-20

              This is one of the best books I have read on child discipline. I read it while raising my children and put it to the test of practical day to day situations. It worked. For the most part the examples provided the desired response and reduced the stress of both parent and child. You can easily adapt it to your own family style.

                    4 out of 5 stars Entertaining introduction to early jazz by a pioneer!.......1998-12-23

                    Anyone who spent anytime around the New Orleans jazz scene knows that Danny Barker was the living voice of the music. Before his death, Danny always peppered his concerts with his spicy, insightful anecdotes (true in meaning if not in every fact). This book brings together some of his stories centered around Buddy Bolden (The "Father" of Jazz) and Storyville. His voice comes through strong and funny, just as he spoke in life. Factually, I am not sure of the accuracy of all these stories, but nothing catches the flavor of early New Orleans jazz like Danny Barker. All of us who had the pleasure to know him miss him, this book reminds us why we loved him so much. He still teaches us.

                      5 out of 5 stars Women's stories from Calcutta to Iowa.......2002-01-14

                      Excellent reading. Dr. Silliman brilliantly brings to light the world of four generations of women in her family. Not only has she presented excellent, affectionate, and enlightening portraits of these unique individuals, she gently teaches us about history, culture, and anthropology. The tales of these women reach from Calcutta through trade routes in Asia, Israel, London, and Jerusalem--ending up in Iowa. Best of all, these stories present the times and places through WOMEN's lives--these are stories that we do not hear in mainstream texts.

                      5 out of 5 stars Excellent book.......2001-12-25

                      Silliman captures the essence of a forgotten group. She has taken a topic barely touched on and attempted to educate the world about it. In my opinion, she has succeeded, this would be one of the best books I have ever read. Buy it today!

                      5 out of 5 stars One Of The Best Books written on the Jews In India........2001-12-23

                      Jael Silliman has written an excellent, scholarly book on the Jewish community in India. . Her descriptions of her family elders show her love and respect for them and yet she is sensitive and kind and most of all truthful and honest. As a member of the Baghdadi Jewish community she does not put down the other Jewish Communities in India to prove her community's superiority, as several Baghdadi writers have done. Instead, her excellent book builds bridges among these Indian Communities. Ms. Silliman has done her research and her writing style is a pleasure to read.I recommend this book wholeheartedly.
