I have praised Meredith's book in two articles for the ABS magazine BAMBOO so I might as well do so here. It is really the bible of bamboo cultivation, answering every question-- well just about! As every bamboo grower knows, problems often arise for which one is unprepared-- for instance this ...             How to Build with Bamboo5 reviews Jo Scheer Gibbs Smith, Publisher, 2005 An excellent bamboo building resource I'm not sure what the negative reviewers were expecting. This is neither an art book, nor a typical "how-to" project oriented book with few words and lots of pictures. It does, however, deliver what it promises- a clear and comprehensive introduction to building with bamboo. If you are a crafter or "maker" who likes to make things for yourself, and you appreciate rustic style (think "twig" ...             Breaking the Bamboo Ceiling: Career Strategies for Asians15 reviews Jane Hyun Collins Business, 2006 Highly Recommended! Breaking the Bamboo Ceiling is a great guide on advancing and succeeding in the corporate workplace today. It sheds much needed light on topics relevant to all Asian Americans but virtually unaddressed, in my opinion, by mainstream career advancement books. What makes the book particularly helpful is how it provides not only big-picture strategy guidance, such as the importance of building ...             Hardy Bamboos: Taming the Dragon13 reviews Paul Whittaker Timber Press, Incorporated, 2005 Entertaining read, and good info too!

The things that I appreciated the most about the book, outside of the easy going, easy to read nature of the book: 1. Characterization of the exhaustive list of bamboos included the spreading ...             The Book of Bamboo: A Comprehensive Guide to This Remarkable Plant, Its Uses, and Its History10 reviews David Farrelly Sierra Club Books, 1984 The most comprehensive book on bamboo..........

So Far From the Bamboo Grove was a mesmerizing memoir that dedicates the strong bond and love within a family. When reading this book, I thought that the horror and reality in the main character's (Yoko) words were shocking. It was interesting not only to read the effect of war on an innocent family trapped in a period of hardships (World War II), but also the fact that the innocent family was of ...             Building Bamboo Fences3 reviews Isao Yoshikawa Japan Publications Trading, 2001 THIS IS THE BOOK I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR!
