Excellent & Comprehensive Knitting guide!
I love this book! I bought it about 5 years ago and I've not regretted it once. The photographs make it easy to learn, and the drawings are clear. I learned to knit from a one-page leaflet when I was in high school, but I never finished a project until I got this book. It opened the world of knitting up for me. I am now getting ready to start teaching knitting and I want my students to start ...

Mandatory reading!
I have to admit, I saw the film before reading the book, and I recommend them both. In today's climate in America, - when the police profession is considered one of the noblest by liberals and conservatives alike, and the so-called "liberal" press, which crossed the line into tabloid journalism awhile ago, and which still hides behind the myth/lie of "objectivity," - this book is as timely and ...
Kaddish for a Child Not Born

A letter to the child not meant to be
Definition: Kaddish -- A prayer recited in the daily synagogue services and by mourners after the death of a close relative. In this novel, or more appropriately novella (it's less than 100 pages), the narrator, a failed writer and a holocaust survivor, writes what is ultimately a love letter to his unborn child, his child not born. He begins by reflecting on a night some time ago at a writer's ...
The Gambia & Senegal (Country Guide)

Katharina Lobeck
Lonely Planet
, 2006
Excellent: condensed, useful, and great reading
In many cases, the coverage offered by Lonely Planet guidebooks may be hampered by the magnitude of the region they try and cover. This is why for example, in "Lonely Planet West Africa" (a bulky book which also covers Senegal and the Gambia), coverage of each single country is brief and not always perfect, and the reader is often lost among facts and information she or he does not need. Instead, ...

This Was a Good Choice
I had already read much of Franklin's book Conditioning for Dance. I found it very insightful and full of potential help for the physical pain I experience, but as I have no dance experience and was not familiar with many of the dance terms, I thought that perhaps one of his books about alignment for lay people might be better. I didn't have funds to buy several of his books at this time, ...
Illustrated Guide to 140 Dog Breeds

Katharina von der Leyen
Barron's Educational Series
, 2000
Great specific information
This is the best dog breed book I have ever read in that it gives specific information about each breed. Most breed books on Weimaraners say they need a lot of exercise. What does this mean? This book is very specific and says that a Weimaraner needs a 2 1/2 hr walk per day. This is so true. Also, even though Weimaraners are wonderful, wonderful dogs, I have had to pay a trainer to help ...
The Artificial Silk Girl

Dreaming of luxury
There is nothing fake or artificial about the heroine of this surprising work of fiction. First published in 1932 in Germany, it was followed very quickly by its English translation in 1933. It was an immediate hit for a young author's second novel; praised for its pointed sense of humour as well as the underlying critique of society. The story, written in the form of the central character's ...

Recent high-profile corporate scandals—such as those involving Enron in the United States, Yukos in Russia, and Livedoor in Japan—demonstrate challenges to legal regulation of business practices in capitalist economies.

An Existentialist in Hell
I read the 1992 translation by Christopher and Katharina Wilson. Originally written in Hungarian, this fictionalized memoir of a young Jewish teenage boy's year in Auschwitz and Buchenwald toward the end of the war brilliantly succeeds in giving the reader an intimate look at human beings in the camps. Georg Koves is a sensitive, intelligent 14-year-old who loves his friends, wants to do well, ...

Excellent book for reviewing this time period!

Very easy to read and keeps your attention. I would recommend it to anyone doing research or interested in this time period and culture.

Hatje Cantz Publishers
, 2006
No other subject inspired Henri Matisse with such passion throughout his career as the female figure in interior settings. This is the most comprehensive publication to cover the topic of women in the work of the great regenerator of European painting, and in so doing, it covers the full spectrum of Matisse's creative evolution, from the small, somber, early pictures to the masterly compositions of his Fauvist phase, the intimate pictorial ...

Beautiful and practical
I have owned pugs for 12 years now. They are wonderful little dogs, but they do have a personality that is not for every dog owner. This book does a great job of presenting the pros and cons of pug ownership (Pugs are loyal, fun, friendly, and great companions. They are non-aggressive and get along well with other pets and family members. However, pugs shed a lot, make really funny and sometimes ...

Showing Our Colors: Afro-German Women Speak Out
2 reviews
University of Massachusetts Press
, 1991
Breathtaking
This novel will take your breath away. It is horrendous that not enough information has been written about others that sufferd through the scourge of Nazism. And there's scant amount written about Blacks in Nazi Germany. The Rhineland Bastards (children of mixed race in pre-war Germany) were the first victims of the Nazi murder machine. But little is known or has been written about them. ...
