.Lunch Boxes and Snacks: Over 120 healthy recipes from delicious sandwiches and salads to hot soups and sweet treats
City Travel Guides > Books > Home and Garden
by: Annabel Karmel

December 26, 2007
I am not the most creative person when it comes to packed lunches, but this book makes it easy! Many ingredients are easily found, and likely to be in your fridge or pantry already. Many you can make with leftover foods such as cooked chicken, or the 2 tablespoons of corn left over from dinner. Most are items my daughter will readily eat without complaint. For health reasons, we decided to stop eating cafeteria food and started packing our own. I ran out of ideas rather quickly and knew we had to break away from PB&J, so I ordered this book. What's great it that it's "adult friendly" too. No smiley face sandwiches or mac and cheese here...just healthy food made easy. Our kiddo is now the envy of the lunch room!

.Amigurumi World: Seriously Cute Crochet
City Travel Guides > Books > Home and Garden
by: Ana Paula Rimoli

February 25, 2008
I found out about Amigurumi (crochet toys) from a friend who had bought another book like this. I heard so many good things about this one. All of the toys are based on the same basic shapes, just different colors and "accessories." I am enjoying it though it seems limited. This is a great book for first time amigurumi's. I have ordered two others that are a little more diverse. Amigurumi is very fun to make and can be addicting!!

.Sew Everything Workshop
City Travel Guides > Books > Home and Garden
by: Diana Rupp

November 08, 2007
I just started taking sewing lessons where I purchased my Husqvarna Viking machine and they highly recommended this book for a great overview, including tips for all of the essential tools you'll need, how to choose the right sewing machine, etc. It even includes 10 patterns for projects that I'll actually want to do. A lot of other sewing books aren't for beginners, but this one is PERFECT. It's comprehensive yet concise. It's organized very well and fun to read! I love it.

.From Vines to Wines: The Complete Guide to Growing Grapes and Making Your Own Wine
City Travel Guides > Books > Home and Garden
by: Jeff Cox

January 03, 1999
When we were planning our vineyard we needed all the help we could get. From Vines To Wines was one book kept by the bedside for constant reference during the planning and planting stage. (The other book was "Vineyard Simple." The illustrated guide to pruning is exceptionally well done. Now that we've made it through year 1, I find myself going back to the book time and again. I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in planting a vineyard. Craig Justice, Webmaster of Winemaker's Journal and Founder, Blue Merle Vineyard & Winery

.Pure Sea Glass: Discovering Nature's Vanishing Gems
City Travel Guides > Books > Home and Garden
by: Richard LaMotte, Sally Lamotte Crane

June 30, 2004
I have recently became interested in sea glass after finding a few beautiful peices when I ordered this book. I was not dissappointed! This book is very informational and beautifully illustrated. I found a match for a peice I had found in the book, allowing me to date the peice.

I love this book and will keep in on my coffee table along with my display of my precious finds! It's a joy just to flip through and just look at the pictures.

.Pet Food Politics: The Chihuahua in the Coal Mine
City Travel Guides > Books > Home and Garden
by: Marion Nestle

July 15, 2008
I have recently read an article by Nestle on organic standards in the pet food industry. This article was published in a respected dog magazine. In this article the author failed to report the truth.

She claimed that National Organic Standards (NOP) set by the USDA for organic human food products does not apply to pet foods. She failed to discriminate between the terms 'organic' and 'certified organic'.

The term 'organic' is not well regulated in the pet food industry but also not in others such as the cosmetic industry. However, the use of the term 'certified organic' is strongly regulated in both the human and pet food industry and its abuse is punishable by a law which applies equally to both human and pet food products. Not surprisingly, ... Read More:

.Landscape Graphics
City Travel Guides > Books > Home and Garden
by: Grant Reid

September 01, 2002
Over the last ten years, I've recommended several landscape graphics texts to my students, and this is the one they repeatedly tell me they like. It provides a good mixture of how-to instructions and a wide variety of examples--diagrams, plans, sections, elevations and perspectives. Color rendering is not covered (I use Michael Doyle's book, but I'm sure there are other good ones).

***Students purchasing a used copy of this should check the publication date. The older version (1987) has some amusing and alarming examples--use with caution!***
