Contemporary Japanese Restaurant Design

5 reviews
Motoko Jitsukawa, Cornucopia K. K., ...

Periplus Editions, 2003

excellent book
I'm not a professional designer, nor do I claim to be, so this review will be based on what I discovered from the book. This book is full of wonderful pictures of Japanese restaurants around the world, rooms decorated so elegantly, youd expect to spend $100.00 a plate easily at any of them. Each restaurant profile lists the designers intentions, design materials, colors, and even a detailed ...

Incredible.
There currently is no better reference for edible fruits & vegetables. There are 1000's of entries, each with cultural (growing) information, significant cultivars, and known sources for the plants. Truly a heroic accomplishment. Be sure to get the 2nd edition.

Howard Lenoir, 2008

Over the years, Thanksgiving has become a special time of the year for many cultures. We usually decorate our homes for the holiday, and Thanksgiving is no different. That is why Thanksgiving crafts are very popular not only in our schools, but for many creative people who like to make hand made decorations for the home. Children especially love to make Thanksgiving crafts because it gives them the chance to practice new ...

Byrne's Wonderful World of Pool and Billiards: A Cornucopia of Instruction, Strategy, Anecdote, and Colorful ...

3 reviews
Robert Byrne

Harcourt, 1996

A great piece of literature and "how to" book
Originally after I read Byrne's "Skyscraper" novel I thought he had absolutely no talent in placing words together, placing him in the moronic catagory, as well as a complete bore! But he swings and connects with this work! Bravo!

The Lexicon: A Cornucopia of Wonderful Words for the Inquisitive Word Lover

5 reviews
William F. Buckley Jr., Jesse Sheidlower

Harvest Books, 1998

utterly usable,licentious miscibles of miso-communist
Buckley has fashioned yet another utterly usable list stoppage, badinage of detritus waiting in abeyance for the vagaries of postmodernities force fields to scour through yet another product emanation from an impeccable vainglorious watchdog for the Ruling Classes. The predictable augurs,tail wagging, arbiter elegantiae, his indolence doesn't quite proceed to the corruptible USA Senators. We have ...

Beyond the Cornucopia Kids

1 review
Bruce A. Baldwin

Direction Dynamics, 1988

Beyond Cornucopia Kids
The content of the book is excellent. The author gives practical and easy to follow instructions to parents on how to raise responsible children and avoid "spoiling" them. Very appropriate for the times when children want name-brands and expect expensive items to be given to them. Baldwin covers the reasons parents fall into this trap and gives seven "hidden" secrets of how to get out of this ...

Cornucopia: New and Selected Poems

1 review
Molly Peacock

W. W. Norton & Company, 2004

Up Close & Personal
Molly Peacock wears received form like a glamorous yet loose-fitting robe, and while there are sound triolets ("Yes"), sonnets ("Unexpected Freedom") and villanelles ("Little Miracle") here, there are also many good poems where the meter is ghostly and the rhymes scant and/or slant ("Goodbye Hello in the East Village"). However, I do think Ms. Peacock may be a little too present personally in her ...

Josh Kirby A Cosmic Cornucopia

2 reviews
David Langford

Sterling, 2000

Fantasy Window
I think the Discworld would not be the same without Josh Kirby. If you want inspiration for writing a story, buy this book. Josh is absolutely incredible, and his eye for detail always makes me feel part of a secret. Study each picture, or else you miss the point.

Bandstand the Untold Story: The Years Before Dick Clark

1 review
Stanley Blitz, John Pritchard

Cornucopia Publications, 1997

Interesting . . . . . .
If everybody thinks Dick Clark started "American Bandstand," you're wrong. This book tells about "Bandstand" before Dick Clark became the host. It goes into great detail about the years between 1952 and 1956. However, the book was slightly disappointing. I bought it in hopes the author would talk a little more about the kids who used to dance on the show (since learning my favorite disc jockey ...

Jane Claypool

Cornucopia Pr, 1999

This Book Changed My Life
This book changes lives-I know because mine is one of them! I am amazed at how changing ones thinking can so dramatically change ones life for the better! This book is easy to read and easy to understand--I love the way the author leads each chapter with a personal story about her life and then directs the reader to examine her (or his) own life stories. The book is empowering and ...

Cornucopia Limited: Design and Dissent on the Internet

1 review
Richard Coyne

The MIT Press, 2005

unlikely to be useful to a technical reader
Coyne gives an intriguing intersection of the Internet and philosophy. If you hail from the computing world, you might peruse this book with the expectation of learning useful advice. Alas, that may be very hard to find. The author writes eruditely, to be sure. But he rapidly moves the discussion into sociology and philosophy. These are certainly worthy intellectual fields. But invoking Derrida, ...
