Furniture: World Styles from Classical to contemporary
A professional Interior Designer of 22 years, I also teach Interior Design at the University level. I am proud to require this as our textbook for History of Furniture. The photography, the selected pieces, the detailed information --- on-target! Students actually enjoy learning historical styles, all-the-while picking-up a little World History along the way. (Warms a teacher's heart!) The ...
It's Elementary: Putting the Crackle into Chemistry (Dk Reference)
3 reviews
Robert Winston
Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 2007
The BEST First Chem Book
I'm shocked I'm writing the first review for this book since it's clearly head and shoulders above the rest. It's lively (lots of pictures) without being silly (others have either less appeal or talk down to the reader). Plus, it's a hardcover (others are paperback for the same money). My fifth grader was at once glued to this book and he kept coming downstairs to exclaim, "Did you know... !" ...
"Star Wars" Journey Through Space (DK Readers Level 2)

The geography of Star Wars
The release of Star Wars books for young people has always been related to a theatrical promotion. In a world that has a seen all six films, a new wave of DK Readers is much appreciated. It gives us comfort that even though the movies are finished, the Star Wars experience isn't completely 'done.' "Journey Through Space" isn't actually about space travel. It's about the places one can travel to ...

B.K.S Iyengar
Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 2008
Excellent
This book is amazing. I borrowed the older version from a friend and was excited to see the newer version. It is just as great as the old but with a nice added section about Iyengar himself. This is a great book. I especially love the section for yoga for ailments. I use it often.

Wonderful Croatia
The book was a great guide. It helped us not waste time wondering what to do and see while in country this fall. It narrows the search and focuses on what is important to see and do. Best guide ever to see a city or country. Best of all, it is accurate in its descriptions and directions.
Nude Photography: The Art and the Craft
9 reviews
Pascal Baetens
Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 2007
The best in its field
This is the best book I've seen on the subject of nudes yet. The author is thorough and the images speak for themselves. He's a master, brilliant! If I could only choose one book on the subject, this would be it. In the last section of the book, the author features other photographer's work and their motivations. That part was a let-down compared to Pascal's work, and the book would've been ...
Paris (DK Eyewitness Travel Guide)

Alan Tillier

The Best Manual for Paris
This book is simply the best travel guide for Paris. The information inside is well-laid out, accessible and artistically well-presented. I'd said the best points are: 1. The book itself is physically well-crafted with strong book covers, nicely laid out pages and durable. In addition, while not quite pocket size, the book will fit in an oversized coat pocket which ideal for traveling around ...

Steve Parker

The Bridge To Help You & Your Child Learn In a Fun Way
I had the privilege of using this book as a guideline for teaching a group of "home school" youngsters from 1st-9th grade. Science can be a scary subject to those of us who remember the mean and fierce physics/chemistry/biology teacher. Mr. Parker makes science enjoyable and exciting creating a feeling of glad anticipation for the next lesson. The experiments are easy and help the children ...
Hamburg (DK Eyewitness Travel Guide)
1 review
Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 2010
A good guide for Hamburg
The DK guides are known for their photos and this one is no exception. For Hamburg, not one of the top visited cities in germany, there is not a lot of choice in English but still, it is a good guide.
Brussels, Bruges, Antwerp and Ghent (DK Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guide)

Antony Mason
Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 2010
Great guide, a top ten
When I go to a new place I want to be sure to visit the most interesting places in the short time I will be there. Top ten guides give me just what I need, a brief synopsis of the best places to go, best places to stay at, the best places in which to eat and the best things to do, without overwhelming me with detail and volume. The magnificent photos help me to find the places, especially in ...

When you want to know more ...
I enjoy Rick Steves' guides, but often I want to know more, both in-depth and in-breadth about a destination. This is a typical Eyewitness Travel Guide, almost a small encyclopedia about one place, its history, and its many attractions. I enjoy buying such books months in advance of a trip, reading & re-reading it, hoping that when I arrive at the destination it will seem familiar. I would ...

This is another great DK Reader. It is for level 2 readers, but you can read it to your children (3-5 years). It is very intersting and takes kids through the life of a tree, parts, oldest tree, etc. I learned some things too!

Great Book for Kids
My daughters (15 & 10) have been cooking with this book for 5 years and they love it. This copy is a gift for a friend who likes to cook. Using this book is a really wonderful way to learn about cooking. It has pictues and explainations of every step of every proceedure, even the most basic. It asumes that you know nothing and builds up from there. Each recipe is fully illustrated and ...

Simply THE BEST travel guide anywhere
DK Eyewitness Travel Guides are the best on the market. They're concise, yet complete. They cover everything you need to know anywhere. And their pictures, maps and diagrams are simply outstanding. On a recent trip to Munich we showed ours to a cosmopolitan native of that city. He agreed with everything they said. DK guides are all you need for anywhere you might travel. We bought ...

Brazil Travels
Going to Brazil then this is an excellent travel book. We like the high quality pages and the printing which is easy to read. This is an excellent booth for finding places to visit in Brazil. We used it extensively on our trip to Rio de Janerio and found that every penny we paid for it was worth it. One thing we like about these books is that the historical spots never change thus you get a book ...
