Harmonious Home: Smart Planning for a Home That Really Works2 reviews
Judith Wilson
Ryland Peters & Small, 2004
Good for a Browse
The book's aim seems to be to make the most of an old English country house or a quirky city apartment. It doesn't look like it would apply as well to a freshly built house. Most of the discussion seems to be aimed at remodeling existing spaces.
Strengths: Lots of well-captioned and clear photos & thought provoking checklists sprinkled throughout
Drawbacks: some rooms used multiple times ...

The New Natural House Book: Creating a Healthy, Harmonious, and Ecologically Sound Home7 reviews
David Pearson
Fireside, 1998
For a healthy house read this book
Our home, especially if we have the opportunity to build from scratch, should reflect a great deal about our worldview. The visitor should be able to tell from what he sees and from a few simple questions how the owner feels about some of the most pressing questions of our time, including the environment. Do we wish to tread lightly on the earth, taking for ourselves a fair portion of the world's ...

Creating Harmonious Relationships: A Practical Guide to the Power of True Empathy3 reviews
Andrew Lecompte
Atlantic Books, 2000
Wow!
I picked up this work walking along a table in a nationally known book chain. A plain looking cover, so unlike all the plethora of self-help books out there with a figure plastered on the front. The content is also different. Unlike books that proclaim "The Ten Best Ways to..." or "The Ten Stupid Things that...", this book offer practical and real help! In this incredible tome, LeCompte pulls ...

Math and Music: Harmonious Connections5 reviews
Trudi Hammel Garland, Charity Vaughan Kahn
Dale Seymour Publications, 1995
A real eye opener on how math affects more than you thought.
This book was one of the handiest and dandiest things I've ever read. It's extremely interesting, so long as you know what you're talking about. If you're not in a high level of mathematic capabilities, a lot of this will seem like junk that is interesting, but you have no clue how it works. It reveals some of the most interesting phonomena I've ever heard of, such as the flicker noise. ...

Money and Marriage: Making It Work Together--A Guide to Smart Money Management and Harmonious Communications5 reviews
Steven Pybrum
Abundance Publishing, 1996
This is an extremely important and useful book/tool for life
"Money and Marriage - Making it work together" was an easily accessible book that guides people through the obstacles that finances bring to a relationship. The book councils and directs the reader down a well lit path of information and understanding. Mr. Pybrum, the author, does not promise to get you rich quick or make you skinny in a week but he does try, and I believe he accomplishes his ...

Harmonious Tarot5 reviews
Lo Scarabeo
Llewellyn Publications, 2005
Gentle charm and well-done Walter Crane Illustrations
from works such as "Flowers from Shakespeare's Garden" that one can buy for a few dollars in a modern reprint. The LWB presents a cosy atmosphere and explains the meanings and ideas of this old-fashioned style of tarot. The majors are done in the Continental style, with Justice as Eight and Strength as 11. The minors have the more modern convention of very pretty illustrations and full number ...

Used one of the patterns for our house
We just painted our living/dining room and kitchen from one of the patterns. So from my perspective this is a excellent book since we actually made use of it!
The only thing I had trouble with is matching the authors color names to the in-store experience. Author calls one "Clotted Cream" but that was not much help with an internet search so we matched it to one we liked (Behr color ...

Keith J. Laidler
Prometheus Books, 2004
An excellent, basic survey of scientific understanding
The last few centuries have brought with them many advancements in human understanding of the structure and motion of the universe and have brought with them a new infusion of symbols, formulas and math - not to mention jargon - to illustrate these new sciences. In The Harmonious Universe, science writer and chemistry professor Keith Laidler shows how best to appreciate the beauty and complexity ...

Nest for Two: Creating a Harmonious Home 1 review
Allison Serrell, Thayer Allyson Gowdy, 2004
Stylish look, but skimpy on content
The print and photos are boxed off in trendy pastel cubes. Tiny print makes much of the book hard to read. The text really adds little, but if you're looking for decorating ideas, there are plenty of photos to browse.
If you're looking for in depth analysis of what makes a house into a home, this will disappoint. Take a look at Sharing a Place Without Losing Your Space by Regina Leeds. I ...

Objects on a Table : Harmonious Disarray in Art and Literature2 reviews
Guy Davenport
Counterpoint, 1999
Found Treasure
Whatever reason guides our quest for information to discover small treasures, the rewards of finding writing as quiet and yet celebratory as Guy Davenport's OBJECTS ON A TABLE are immeasurable. This small volume of four essays on the intransigence of Still Life paintings and their concommitant relationship to music, philosophy, literature, history, poetry, and simply Life is satisfying on every ...

Thought provoking and inspiring!
Have you seen a garden and loved it but perhaps couldn't quite explain what made it special? Have you been in your own garden and felt it needed "something" but didn't know what that something was?
I bought this book because it was recommended by a friend. Once I got it home, I read it and re-read it. Besides beautiful photos, this book is about garden design, especially regarding focal ...

beautiful and magical
This is a wonderful little book and one of my favourites in my magical library. The lovely photographs are magazine quality and the layout of the text is modern and pleasing. That said this is also a great spellbook. Spells are simple enough for a novice but experienced hearthwitches should still find them effective, especially if they're like me who's really into creating a magical home, both ...
