Carol Fenster
Avery, 2007
Excellent book, wonderful recipes, useful mixes!
I'm extremely pleased with this book! My son has autism and is on the GFCF diet and Carol's recipes have been lifesavers! I already had Cooking Free when I ordered this one and I am even happier with this book. The recipes are delicious and the flour mixes are such timesavers. When I find I'm running low, I take some time on a weekend, mix up a ton of Carol's Flour Blend, then go to work ...

Krakatoa: The Day the World Exploded: August 27, 1883 (P.S.) 213 reviews
Simon Winchester
Harper Perennial, 2005
Fascinating, interesting, but wordy.
This is a generally well-written account of the famous volcanic eruption which was one of the first such major events to take place after the development of worldwide communication technology. The author has been criticized for including details - many details - about not only geology, but also the history of the region and it's people, in addition to the narrative of the explosive eruption ...

quality artwork from a time gone by
The old prints are just beautiful. Before photographs, books like these had hand painted reproductions of the animals. The detail is amazing. One can only imagine how long it must have taken to prepare these works.And collect the specimens.Check out the 7 headed hydra! And cheers to Taschen for another beautiful art book.

Vegetable Harvest: Vegetables at the Center of the Plate21 reviews
Patricia Wells
William Morrow Cookbooks, 2007
Vegetables to feed the soul.
Patricia Wells never disappoints in the kitchen, and if you loved her other cook books (I do!) you will want this latest. This book celebrates the vegetable. Do not confuse this cook book with those meant for strict vegetarians. I am not a strict vegetarian but I find myself more and more often seeking to extol a vegetable straight from the garden or a farmers' market, rather than a pice of ...

Passing the Plate: Why American Christians Don't Give Away More Money14 reviews
Christian Smith, Michael O Emerson, ...
Oxford University Press, USA, 2008
Excellent, but of course not "all things to all people"
This is a very compelling book that outlines and tries to explain the discrepancy between what many churchgoers say they believe and what they actually practice in their financial lives. Despite what some reviewers seem to think, however, it isn't meant to be a "popular" book. It is, as it was intended to be, a scholarly treatment of a specific subject. So those who critique it for its loads of ...
