.The Soul of a Horse: Life Lessons from the Herd
City Travel Guides > Books > Home and Garden
by: Joe Camp

April 29, 2008

I enjoyed this book very much because it contains a lot of new information for me; it was definitely a learning experience. the most important information I gleaned from reading the book is there is no reason for domesticated horses to go lame if the natual hoof trim done by farriers who are familiar with the mustang's way of life & movement is used.

.Professional Practice for Interior Designers
City Travel Guides > Books > Home and Garden
by: Christine M., FASID, IIDA Piotrowski

November 02, 2007
I used this book in my professional practice class and a co-worker of mine borrowed it to study for the NCIDQ - she said many of the ethical and business related questions that appeared on the test were covered in this book. It is really well written and easy to follow. The CD has good resources, like mock invoices and POs that you can open and edit.

.Martha Stewart's Homekeeping Handbook: The Essential Guide to Caring for Everything in Your Home
City Travel Guides > Books > Home and Garden
by: Martha Stewart

October 31, 2006
When I finally ordered this book after drooling over it for months I couldn't believe how HUGE it is. At first, I thought they had shipped me an extra book by accident. This book truly is an encyclopedia of cleaning. I had no idea that people did most of the things in here, and I learned that I've completely destroyed the finish on my sinks by cleaning with Comet and a serious scrubbing sponge, the way my mom taught me. She even tells you how to organize, pick cookware and bakeware, remodel your kitchen, and so much more. I recommend this book to all who have a home and especially for those awesome stay at home moms who get all tingly about cleaning the house, inside and out, like myself. I didn't like Martha Stewart before, but I'm definitely ... Read More:

Reading this book was almost a life altering experience. I immediately began clearing not just my space, but my life. I've bought two more copies and given them to friends who expressed a need for the same!

.Vogue Knitting on the Go: Shawls Two (Vogue Knitting on the Go!)
City Travel Guides > Books > Home and Garden
from: Sixth&Spring Books

September 02, 2008
Most of the 22 shawls use yarn in the #4 category and only two of the shawls are for experienced. Most of them fall into the easy and/or intermediate skill level. The designers are familiar to everyone. Only one shawl is super bulky. All the shawls are knit. There are many beautiful unusual projects. My favorites are:beaded leaf lace shawl, wave pattern shawl, zigzag lace shawl, cabled wrap (cover), textured zigzag shawl, wave and leaf shawl and flowers and snowflakes shawl (back cover). This is one of the better books in this series and highly recommended.

Product arrived in a timely manner and was what I was looking for except that it did not mention that the holder had spots for states for both minted cities. I wish it had mentioned that in the description. It was a very good deal! :)

.Don't Shoot the Dog!
City Travel Guides > Books > Home and Garden
by: Karen Pryor

2002-03
"This book is about how to train anyone -- human or animal, young or old, oneself or others -- to do anything that can and should be done. How to get the cat off the kitchen table or your grandmother to stop nagging you. How to affect behavior in your pets, your kids, your boss, your friends. How to improve your tennis stroke, your golf game, your math skills, your memory. All by using the principles of training with reinforcement."

That first paragraph from the foreword pretty much sums it up. The book is delightful to read. I'm not a behavioral scientist, but it seems like a reasonably thorough introduction to training through reinforcement and shaping. It has helped me better train our dogs, and clarified my understanding of what actually ... Read More:

.Elizabeth Zimmermann's Knitter's Almanac
City Travel Guides > Books > Home and Garden
by: Elizabeth Zimmermann

October 01, 1981
EZ's Knitter's Almanac was, to me a beautifuly done book. Half story book, half knitting instruction, EZ's wit and wisdom really shine in this lovely colection of patterns and shared stories.

I do not, however, feel that this book is for everyone. If you are a straight forward, k1,p2 type of knitter, you may want to borrow a copy from the library or a knitting friend. What is meant by that is this book is a guide, not a set pattern book. (Do this with these needles and this yarn, then that, this is the result.)

EZ lets you decide how your item will look... If you like a lace pattern, insert it in the shawl! Don't like a certain stitch in your Aran sweater? Do something differant there! But overall, enjoy it for the process, not ... Read More:
