Great Sausage Recipes and Meat Curing 15 reviews
Rytek Kutas
MacMillan Publishing Company, 2007
In the beginning God created meat. Man cured it; and it was good!
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! (Please note: I am only ¾ of the way through the book so I can't give it full accounting.)
This book should be called, `The Bible of Cured Meat!' It contains or reaffirms or explains in-depth everything I have ever read or heard about dry curing meat. (Not to mention every other curing method known to man.) It not only tells you what you need to do, it lets you know what ...

Very good start for Endgame Experience.
This book is translated from Russian, so it must pass the test of time. Averbakh used very concise analysis. He gave us, immediate level, a tool to understand the endgames.
It is essential for players from beginning to intermediate levels. After a chapter about the basic mating the lone King with minimal force, it introduces the standard combats between various pieces. It explains where a ...

Learn Chess: A Complete Course9 reviews
O'd Alexander C. H., T. J. Beach
MacMillan Publishing Company, 1994
Step by Step my high school prep!
When I was in Elementary School studying chess from grades 3-6) I learned from "Chess For Juniors" as my text book (probably the best and most easy book to learn from for a 9 to 13 year old). However, for a higher reading level I found this book to be an equal if not a better book for an 8th or 9th grader (not to put "Chess for Juniors" down (it is certainly better for your average elementeary, ...

100 Jobs in the Environment3 reviews
Debra Quintana
MacMillan Publishing Company, 1997
An excellent overview of a variety of jobs
The format of this book is wonderful: each left page lists a job, duties, salary, prospects, education needed, etc.; each right page tells the story of someone who has this job - how they got it, what they do all day, where they see themselves going. The information isn't in-depth, but it's certainly complete enough to help you decide whether to further investigate a career. I definitely plan to ...

James Finn Garner
MacMillan Publishing Company, 1995
Enlightenment the easy way...
Given the success of the first volume, 'Politically Correct Bedtime Stories', James Finn Garner took another journey into fairytale land to find a revisionist's dream of reframed stories, and assembled them into the volume 'Once Upon a More Enlightened Time'. Like the first volume, this one holds nothing sacred, highlighting both the excesses of prejudice in the past while exposing the excesses ...

Despite oyster sauce - an incredible cookbook
I have a sagging shelf of cookbooks, most of them vegan. This is the one cookbook I have other than my Betty Crocker (that has so many recipes fun to veganize) that includes mention of meat. Another reviewer gave this cookbook a bad rating due to the author's lack of clarification concerning oyster sauce (vegan versions are readily available at Asian food markets and elsewhere). I think this ...

Phyllis McGinley
Macmillan Publishing Company, 1964
A lovely book on the joys of creating a happy home.
This book, while written decades ago as the women's movement was in its infancy, still has much to offer today's woman. Ms. McGinley, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, writes a book devoted to the "world's oldest (and most honorable) profession" that of housewife. Divided into three sections, Wife, House and Family, the book covers these traditional concerns with chapters on higher education ...

James Windell
MacMillan Publishing Company, 1995
It may sound crazy, but this book has changed my life!
I am the mother of 3-1/2 year-old twins. Several weeks ago Iwas ready to throw in the towel in the Discipline department. "Mychildren never obey me. They don't listen to anything I say and hardly ever cooperate. Nothing I've tried has worked. I feel like a failure as a parent." My screaming had escalted to new heights, and I had even resorted to spanking my children in frustration and anger. I ...

Great reference book for vegans!!
This is my favorite cookbook and I use it all the time. I've always had a problem with cookbooks because I never have the right ingredients on hand. But, this cookbook has multiple versions of basic recipes so you can always find a version that fits what you have on in your cupboard. The index is also very helpful because you can look up key ingredients and find all the recipes that use it. ...

The Fountainhead965 reviews
Ayn Rand
MacMillan Publishing Company, 1979
"But I don't think of you"
I'm not quite sure how she pulled it off, but with The Fountainhead, Ayn Rand managed to forge a literary masterpiece out of reheated libertarianism, stone age sexual politics, and dialogue that's so full of grandiose monologuing it would make William Shakespeare blush. I'm not being tongue-in-cheek here; I really do love this novel. I really do think that it's a jaw-dropping monument to the ...
