Teaming with Microbes: A Gardener's Guide to the Soil Food Web38 reviews
Jeff Lowenfels, Wayne Lewis
Timber Press, Incorporated, 2006
Excellent resource
Despite the short length of this book, it was packed with lots of good information and was easy to read. It brought to my attention aspects of fungi versus microbial activity that I was never aware of and how these affect soil quality for gardens versus shrubs. The book has had an immediate payback for me, as I am a novice composter and now know how to do that better. It also described compost ...

Diary of a Wimpy Kid179 reviews

Abrams Books for Young Readers, 2007
My 9 year old son can't put this book down!
My son asked for this book when some of his friends had it in class. (He never asks for books) Since he's had it, he has brought it to school to read, he turned off the TV to read (and even turned off the play station) I have not read much of this book, but just the fact he can't put it down, must mean it's funny and kid friendly.

Orchid Fever76 reviews
Eric Hansen, Jeff Harding
Ulverscroft Soundings Ltd, 2001
I'd love an update!
I read this with jaw agape most of the time. The main reason for this embarrassing state of affairs was the CITES ridiculousness that crops up again and again. Can people in positions of power REALLY be so stupid? Well, yep, they can, sadly enough for the thousands of plants that are destroyed in the name of "development," illegal to save by conservationists.
But the people Hansen meets are ...

Anne Frank and Me81 reviews
Cherie Bennett, Jeff Gottesfeld
Putnam Juvenile, 2001
AWESOME BOOK!
Anne Frank and Me was an exceptional book and I enjoyed it very much. I can't imagine how anyone wouldn't love following Nicole through her journey starting in the 90's and ending up in year of 1942. I've read it twice and I know I'll set it down for a few months, then read it again! I recommend this to anyone with a heart! Enjoy Anne Frank and Me.

Torpedo70 reviews
Jeff Edwards
iUniverse Star, 2006
Torpedo-proof debut!
Jeff Edward's "Torpedo" is riveting! A great storyline mixed with an intricate knowledge of the subject matter gives the reader a real sense of "being there" as the story unfolds. I found the interjection facts regarding the historical development of the torpedo enhanced the gravity of the subject matter and made the story even more of a page-turner. I highly recommend "Torpedo" and congratulate ...

The Children Are Free: Reexamining the Biblical Evidence on Same-sex Relationships31 reviews
Rev. Jeff Miner, John Tyler Connoley
Jesus Metropolitan Community Church, 2002
Shocking!
The most unique quality of this book is the chapter "Finding Affirmation in Scripture." While many authors (including myself) focus on the passages that are often misused to condemn homosexuality, Rev. Jeff Miner and John Tyler Connoley go one step further and examine the often overlooked passages where the Bible speaks of same-sex couples in a positive light. I highly recommend this to anyone ...

Great of 3rd Grade and up
I first heard this book as a third grader- my teacher read it to our class. It loved it then: the characters were lovable, the writing was amusing and rich, and the story was captivating and memorable. So memorable that 8 years later, I borrowed this book from the library to reread and re-enjoy. I highly recommend this book to 3rd- 5th graders as a independent read or older kids for a quick ...

From Vines to Wines: The Complete Guide to Growing Grapes and Making Your Own Wine30 reviews
Jeff Cox
Storey Publishing, LLC, 1999
Almost perfect
This book tells you everything about growing grapes and producing fine wine. It even deals with the choice of grape-varieties suited for your climate. It is almost perfect. I think many Europeans will read this book, and it would have been perfect if it included the Meditteranean countries in the tables of climate-zones and selection of suitable varieties. It is very difficult to find this ...

Through detailing his own journey into spiritual realization, he allows us to view our journey - as they are one. This is not necessarily in the details, but in the expansion of consciousness. Jeff is giving guidance to those begining down the path, but also enlightens those ...

Peachpit Press, 2007
Real World Camera Raw Book is real gem
This is an outstanding book. That is not surprising because the authors are legendary. Jeff Schewe has continued the high standards established by the late Bruce Fraser and expanded on it.
The first half of the book offers you the basics of the technical issues and explanations of how Camera Raw works. The second half takes you through the actual process of using these controls.

Legacy Worldwide, 2008
Fantastic Book - Recommended for everyone!
This is a fantastic book on passing your values and beliefs to the next generation. Anyone who works with people, children and adults that are younger than them should read this book. I'm reading it again, for the third time, just so that I can get more out of it. It's really a great book.
