not totally vegetarian.......2006-11-10

i was looking for a strict vegetarian sushi book and this book often uses bonito which is a fish product...

Vegetarian Sushi?.......2005-06-30

This book has everything it needs to pass as great to the majority of the population; glossy photos, cute names, and it's about sushi.
Very trendy.
As a Vegan, I was not as impressed. The stock recipes include bonito (dried fish), and offered no substitutions for it. Several of the recipes called for the stock, or water. Water doesn't add any flavor to food, obviously. So it's either fish, or a substandard dish. The author also includes seafood suggestions on nearly every page. The last time I checked, fish are living creatures. Fish are not vegetables.
I expected a few mentions of egg or dairy, it is a supposedly Vegetarian book. But I can't say I expected flesh to be involved in the cooking process.
Before becoming Vegan, I had never eaten sushi due to my allergy to seafood. So if you have a similar allergy and are looking to enjoy Sushi, I would recommend searching elsewhere.

Good, Better, BEST!.......2004-09-12

Book layout is beautiful...each recipe has own color photo.
Ingredients easy to find.
Recipes are easy to follow with easy techniques.
Food is delicious.
Great for cocktail parties!

Beautiful photos - makes me want to prepare sushi right now!.......2004-03-19

There is lots of variety in this little book. The introduction gives you a fine initiation into the sushi-making realm with recommendations on tools and products available. Recipies are straight-forward with easy-to-follow instructions. In fact, I didn't know that there were so many types of vegetarian sushi available! So, what's wrong with my local sushi restaurant? The photographs are also a wonderful asset to this cookbook.

Definitely recommended for people who want to learn how to make their own sushi (without worrying about contamination and food borne illnesses associated with raw fish). An asset to any vegetarian/vegan cookbook collection.

Good ideas but NOT 100% VEGETARIAN.......2004-02-22

This is an OK book for gathering ideas for vegetarian sushi, but appears to be written by somebody that has no clue what a vegetarian is. There are recipes that are vegan, and others that are ovo-vegetarian, but Brigid seems to be clueless as to what a vegetarian is, as her dashi recipes all call for fish flakes. Also, she lists seafood possibilities for various sushi types.

It's not a bad read, and there is good information, but it's yet another book written by a non-vegetarian without bothering to ensure that the recipes are at least lacto-ovo.

It's a disappointment that in a book called vegetarian sushi, there are so many refs to seafood and recipes that call for meat products. Especially considering that the typical American mis-conception of sushi is fish, and this book claims to provicde vegetarian recipes.

Book Description

The advent of low cost computation has made many previously intractable econometric models empirically feasible and computational methods are now realized as an integral part of the theory.
This book provides graduate students and researchers not only with a sound theoretical introduction to the topic, but allows the reader through an internet based interactive computing method to learn from theory to practice the different techniques discussed in the book. Among the theoretical issues presented are linear regression analysis, univariate time series modelling with some interesting extensions such as ARCH models and dimensionality reduction techniques.

Bolivian Diary.......2001-03-31

The Bolivian Diary of Che Guevara is pretty fascinating, because when I thought about the Bolivian Adventure, Che being a horrible comandante and guerrilla leader always came to my mind. When I read the book I found that there were many aspects that didn't let Che prevail in Bolivia. From Mario Monje and PCB Party's betrayel, Fidel's lack of re-establishing contact with the guerrillas, lack of peasant recruiting to create a people's army, lack of conditions being right in country for an insurection, etc. Even with all these things stopping Che I was very amazed on how far he got, any other leader wouldn't have lasted 2 months. Che's tactics in his ambushes was incredible and even with lack of guerrillas he wiped out mostly all army forces that opposed him. Che was doing superb until US intervention. To understand Che's mission and how he failed is to understan Latin America today.

Book Description

Likened by critics to Garrison Keillor only more deliberate and elegiac Jim May writes the stories of his youth, growing up in the rural Midwest between the Truman and the JFK eras, where trading stories was as common as trading horses, and frequently required the same skills. Neighboring, as his mother called it, was part of the social fabric. These 18 poignant and humorous stories of life's joys and trials told with the freshness of youth, yet tempered with the wisdom of age evoke a simpler time in our nation's history without romanticizing its inherent hardships.

Fond Memories.......2005-09-17

Face it, fifty years ago life was a lot simpler. Nippersink Creek was the mighty Mississippi to any nine year old boy living in Spring Grove. We might have been too young to read Tom Sawyer, but we sure could live some of the same adventures of that great book. Tempering some of those great adventures was the influence of Catholic School with it's Sister "Leon" and Father "Fritz." They tempered and helped shape the path that led us from the banks of that muddy Nippersink to wherever life took us. It was a special time and a special place. One never to be duplicated but only to live on in our memories and hearts. Life was simpler fifty years ago, and stories such as these remind us of that fact and help to reconnect to that special time.

This is what storytelling is all about.......1998-11-01

A great book that touches anyone who ever grew up. While it entertains and makes me laugh, it triggers memories of my own life and feelings...just like storytelling should.

Book Description

The Hidden Intelligence explores what intuition is and is not, and why it is often hidden. Based on interviews with executives from Fortune 500 organizations to entrepreneurial startups, the book is full of insights the author has gathered over the years working with creative problem solving and ideation techniques. It brings our intuition into the mainstream of those skills crucial to running a successful business.

The Hidden Intelligence explores how intuition in its various forms helps to create new products and marketing strategies at large and organizations. It explains what is and what is not intuition, why it is often hidden, and demonstrates that when it is used correctly, the intuitively-based decision is always correct.

Sandra Weintraub began Management Resources over twenty years ago as a training and management development consulting firm. She has provided training for Fortune 500, educational, and governmental organizations, served as an adjunct professor in management skills at Brandeis University, and published several articles on management and intuition.

The Hidden Intelligence.......2000-06-28

When I completed The Hidden Intelligence, I had grasped the key for coming up with great ideas. It should be required reading for those interested in getting their own creativity to flow like a mighty stream. Learning to access my intuition was an eye opener. I wish I had read the book years ago.

THE HIDDEN INTELLIGENCE.......2000-06-14

After reading THE HIDDEN INTELLIGENCE I tried some of the techniques in idea generation and actually came up with some innovations for my own business. However a more detailed summary of the book's contents is necessary.

There are chapters on the Myers Briggs and other similar instruments which reveal how your basic thinking style can work to your best advantage, or how in some cases it can work against you. Also, there are chapters that offer many different kinds of techniques for enhancing your creative problem solving ability. You will find out how professional ideation consultants use thes techniques to generate ideas with FORTUNE 100 clients. Also you will learn how companies such as 3M, Disney and IDEO generate new product concepts and ideas. And you will discover how you can use some tried and true methods for tapping into your own intuition, including how to program your dreams to reveal insights. There are several exercises included in the book to be used to stimulate ideas in a group setting.

I recommend this book to anyone interested in learning how to motivate innovative thinking or generating new ideas in the workplace. But for me, it was an important guide to stimulating my own creativity and intuition far more than I had realized was possible. If you are interested in increasing the power of your mind THE HIDDEN INTELLIGENCE is an excellent "how to do it" guide.
