World War II (Eyewitness) 5 reviews
Dk
Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 2009
Great Intro to WWII for Kids!
Another good book in the Eyewitness Series. This book does a good job of condensing the vast amount of information available on WWII and, as usual, the pictures tell the story in an interesting way for children. We collect Eyewitness Books and my kids were so glad to see this book and the others on WWI, the Civil War and the American Revolution.

Yoga, The Path to Holistic Healt
Having learned Iyengar Yoga at KARE Ayurveda Retreat in India I knew I needed some reference books to keep my practice in sync. I found this book to be self explanatory and helps me to stay on the path to Holistic Health. I thank God for BKS Iyengar and KARE. Together, they have changed my life and helped to reverse osteoporosis.

David West Reynolds

Very informative!
This was one of my very first Star Wars books and I half credit it with my burgeoning interest in the expanded Star Wars universe.
Includes great pictures and information such as what those little knobs on Darth Vader's chestplate are for to what exactly Salacious Crumb (that little Kowakian monkey lizard that works for Jabba the Hutt) does! If you have no idea what I'm talking about, then ...

"Star Wars" Journey Through Space (DK Readers Level 2)4 reviews
Ryder Windham
Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 2005
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 ...

Rockets and Spaceships (DK Readers Level 1) 4 reviews
Karen Wallace
Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 2001
Very informative
This book was given to my 4 year old for his birthday. The book is fairly easy to read, and provides photos and descriptions of new vocabulary words. It's a challenge for those who are beginning to read solely for the purpose of reading, but it's a delight for those who devour everything about rockets and space!

DK always does a good job
This guide to Brittany is much like any other DK guide - great! I visited Quimper in Brittany many years ago for a month, and I wish I would have had this guide at the time. The quality of the discriptions and images for each town and region is top notch.

Nude Photography: The Art and the Craft7 reviews
Pascal Baetens
Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 2007
Sturdy Introduction
This book is a sturdy introduction to nude photography. For a person with undiagnosed adult ADD like myself this book was very useful. The chapters are laid out well with a lot of pictures and paragraphs next to them expressing various ideas and inspirations. It's important to convey a sense of direction and purpose when photographing naked people. I'd say the book has a lot of confidence. ...

The Story of Architecture5 reviews
Jonathan Glancey
Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 2003
new architecture student
As a freshman architecture student, this book was exactly at my level. The photographs are splendid, and the dialogue informative. This book provides a complete history of architecture in every area of the world, as well as some theory. Great for anyone truly interested in architecture, but not an expert (yet!)

Great Resource
These line if books are great for any traveler. A friend/Travel coordinator let me know about them when I visited Egypt a few years back. I recently bought one for Germany, Bavaria and all I can say is outstanding! I was able to see so many places and had so much information before hand the need for a travel guide wasn't even necessary. I would recommended this this reference to anyone.

Yoga for Pregnancy, Birth and Beyond5 reviews
Francoise Barbira Freedman
Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 2004
Best Pre-natal Yoga Book
I'm a pre-natal yoga teacher, and I have many books on pregnancy yoga. This one is by far my favorite. The pictures are very detailed and well-done. Each pose is broken down step-by-step and has a photo to demonstrate the move. I also like that it is divided by early, mid, and late pregnancy. There is also a section on doing yoga with your baby after the birth.
This book will be the one I ...

A Child's Book of Prayer in Art9 reviews
Wendy Beckett
Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 1995
Love Sister Wendy
Loving Sister Wendy's Book of Meditations, I wanted to share the love with my nine year old grandson. Advice: Take one picture, one meditation, and elicit from him what he sees in the picture, what he thinks it means, etc. In a few days, or next week, sit together and discuss another picture. This is a "delicious" menu which must be savored slowly and deliberately, to be enjoyed for its best. ...
