It's good for beginners as it provides very detailed recipes. As a result even an inexperienced cook can prepare a decent meal. I also like it for the use of some more exotic, non-traditional ingredients such as tofu, soy, spelt, etc. It is a great, big book that covers a lot of other topics not often mentioned in other cookbooks such as cocktails, wine, beer, party ...             The Glass Castle: A Memoir1032 reviews Jeannette Walls Scribner, 2006 Astounding to see how Walls' family lived and more astounding to see why This book left me, literally, slack-jawed at so many points while reading it. It also left me wondering, how many of the poor families in our country and in our world are poor for reasons similar to Walls'? Jeanette Walls tells the story of growing up with a drunk, but oddly caring father and a sober, but oddly uncaring mother. The narrative starts in the deserts of the western United ...             The Road1399 reviews Cormac McCarthy Knopf, 2006 transfixed! listened to the audio (CD) version on a recent long drive--wonderful story! I listen to a lot of books with and found the narrator of this book to be one of the best I've heard in a long time. Audiobook was available at my local library.             2006 International Residential Code - Softcover Version (International Residential Code)8 reviews International Code Council CENGAGE Delmar Learning, 2006 Good code book like my title suggest this is a excellent code book for a residential project, personlly i am in the building trade so i have all the building code books The IRC + all three Voloums of UBC. It all depends on what part of the trade you are in I am in the remodeling part so actually i could probably get by with just the IRC Residential. the main thing to do is find out what code books your city ...             Mayflower: A Story of Courage, Community, and War263 reviews Nathaniel Philbrick Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007 Nathaniel Philbrick: Mayflower Philbrick's book provides an outstanding narrative of the difficulties that New England colonists faced upon their settlement at Plymouth. This book is perfect for historians, academics, and anyone who would like deeper insight into the roots of colonial society.             Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7)3117 reviews J. K. Rowling Arthur A. Levine Books, 2007 This Book Does Not Disappoint! It's all been said, and much better than I could - but I will just reiterate the obvious - this book does not disappoint! Bravo to J.K. Rowling and I can't wait to see what she has in store for the world next time around. Sally Shields, bestselling author of, The Daughter-in-Law Rules, 101 Surefire Ways to Manage (and Make Friends with) Your Mother-in-Law!             Amish Grace: How Forgiveness Transcended Tragedy33 reviews Donald B. Kraybill, Steven M. Nolt, ... Jossey-Bass, 2007 Must read for any serious believer While I am not 'religious' when one uses the term, as it is so often these days by the media, I am very much Quaker/Mennonite in my views, and the Amish no matter what sect, are much like Quakers and how one is taught from birth to forgive. One walks the talk rather than talk talk talk. Actions speak louder than words. Doesn't mean one forgets. One simply forgives, because its both biblical ...             Havanas in Camelot: Personal Essays2 reviews William Styron Random House, 2008 Less Is More: Occasional Pieces by a Master Although he wrote precious little, compared to some of his contemporaries, surely William Styron was one of the best American writers of his generation and produced fiction that will be read as long as there are any readers left. I would argue that SOPHIE'S CHOICE is one of the ten best twentieth century novels by an American writer even though Shelby Foote didn't care for it. It is a treat then ...             2006 International Building Code - Softcover Version: Softcover Version (International Building Code)4 reviews International Code Council CENGAGE Delmar Learning, 2006 The Best Place to Buy Tech Books I looked all over for this type of book only to find that the price was out of our range. Then I went to faithful old Amazon.com. Need I say more.             Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Book 4)5168 reviews J.K. Rowling Scholastic Press, 2000 Success Number 4 The Goblet of Fire is truly a special book. Delving even deeper (and darker) into the villainy that lies just below the calm surface, so to speak, Rowling succeeds...yet again. The plot of the series thickens, what with fellow students turning their back on Harry, who is taking part in an old, old, old Wizard Tournament. It all culminates in a climatic battle with the flesh and blood Voldemort ...             Jesus, the Apostles and the Early Church: General Audiences, 15 March 2006-14 February 20074 reviews Pope Benedict XVI Ignatius Press, 2007 Same as "The Apostles" I took Amazon's suggestion and bought this book with "The Apostles." They are the same book, just arranged differently. Here, each discussion is presented separately, while in "The Apostles" the discussions are grouped by apostle. Otherwise, this book is excellent. Pope Benedict's writing is clear, easy to follow, and personal. He is a great source for the study of Christianity and ...             34 Days: Israel, Hezbollah, and the War in Lebanon Amos Harel, Avi Issacharoff Palgrave Macmillan, 2008 This is the first comprehensive account of the progression of the Second Lebanese War, from the border abduction of an Israeli soldier on the morning of July 12, 2006, through the hasty decision for an aggressive response; the fateful discussions in the Cabinet and the senior Israeli command; to the heavy fighting in south Lebanon and the raging diplomatic battles in Paris, Washington and New York. The book answers the following questions: ...             The Emperor's Children (Vintage)222 reviews Claire Messud Vintage, 2007 The Emperor's Children I liked this book, except that I thought that the likeable characters were too likable and the unlikeable ones too awful. I was expecting a tale of romance among the elites but found instead an analysis of the zeitgeist prior to and in the wake of 9/11. Ultimately I'm not sure I learned anything except that it pays to have friends of long standing because crisis doesn't inspire community or ...             Ultimate Sniper 2006 : An Advanced Training Manual for Military and Police Snipers (Ultimate Sniper, 2006 New ...7 reviews Paladin Press, 2006 Everything you ever want to konw about Marksmanship Everything, and I mean every single aspect of snipers, markmanship, ballistics, weapons, tactics, military and civilian organization, is covered. Things you want to know, things you didn't know you wanted to know, everything is here. This is the Sniper and Marksman Bible.             I am not sick I don't need help37 reviews Xavier Amador Vida Press, 2007 Insightful The book helped me to understand the thinking process of one who has serious mental illness. It helped equip me with the negotiating skills to be able to help.             Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter and Change15 reviews Martin Silberberg McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math, 2004 Excellent College-Level Introductory Chemistry Book Although this book essentially starts from scratch, I'd recommend it to people who have already had high school chemistry. If you haven't had that, you should still do okay, but you may have to spend some extra time and effort since some of the most basic concepts are only skimmed over. They spend much more time on the material that you probably didn't cover in depth in high school chemistry. ...             Building Codes Illustrated: A Guide to Understanding the 2006 International Building Code (Building Codes ...17 reviews Francis D. K. Ching, Steven R., FAIA,PE Winkel Wiley, 2006 A great book! Ching did a great job again! The line drawings clarified the codes and made it easy to understand.             Suite Française346 reviews Irene Nemirovsky Knopf, 2006 Literary styles change I'll make this short. As far as fiction is concerned, this book is the equivalent of an historic photograph. It is in black and white rather than in color (Steven Spielburg wasn't the first to see WWII as dark...)and much of its beauty lies in the fact that it is a clear voice from another time and place. A treasure, maybe more crudely carved than finely crafted, but we are lucky to have had it ...             Blackjack Bluebook II - the simplest winning strategies ever published (2006 edition)43 reviews Fred Renzey Blackjack Mentor Press, 2006 A great student's textbook to improving your game step-by-step I've written very few reviews on Amazon but I thought it was worth my time to give back to Fred Renzey for his great book, Blackjack Bluebook II. The fact is, the book reads like a high school textbook and that's a really good thing for people that really want to learn. It progressively starts with the basics, as well as simplest ways to tune your play and gradually evolves to more complex ...             Marriages and Families: Changes, Choices and Constraints (6th Edition) (MyFamilyLab Series)5 reviews Nijole V. Benokraitis Prentice Hall, 2007 an eye opener! When discerning the human social condition, I always refer to this text; when conversing with family and friends about the construct of what drives humans to make relationship choices, I refer them to this text. If I have read this text ten years ago I would have not have gotten married. Knowledge is EMPOWERMENT...the information in this text will knock your socks off!
