Green City in the Sun21 reviews
Barbara Wood

Trans-Atlantic Publications, 1989

A masterpiece of fiction literature
I found this book at a book fair in Washington D.C. and the only reason I bought it was because I needed 10 books in order to have one free. I do not regret my desicion. "Green City In The Sun" is an epic story of the birth of a nation: Kenya. With very likable characters, the story evolves around the Trevetons, a family divided by their ambitions. Only one obstacle will make their dreams ...
  
  











  



  
Goodnight, Mister Lenin: A Journey Through the End of the Soviet Empire12 reviews
Tiziano Terzani

Trans-Atlantic Publications, 1994

Extraordinary
Just wanted to chime in my two cents on "Fortune-Teller"--I've lived and travelled in Asia for the last 3 years, and Terzani's book is the only travel writing I've read that opened my eyes to ways of thinking outside the norm, the mundane, the Lonely Planet view of the world. Extremely worth seeking out. Naturally, this leads me to wanting to read "Goodnight Mister Lenin", if it can be ...
  
  











  



  
Business Accounting 1 (Business Accounting)5 reviews
Frank Wood

Trans-Atlantic Publications, 1996

Business Accounting 1
I've bought this book as my first reference book of accounting. I've checked out other books about accounting in the local book store but none suits me as this one. The accouting terms are concisely defined and the examples are precisely worked out while other books, which content is obscure and structured in a slovenly way, is an eyesore that confused me. This book is recommended for any purpose ...

Fabled Lands Vol. 1: The War-Torn Kingdom (Fabled Lands)13 reviews
Dave Morris, Jamie Thomson

Trans-Atlantic Publications, 1995

AMAZING!!
The best solo RPG game ever! These books create the most amazing fantasy world. They allow you to roam about how you want to. It was planned that enough of these books would be released to cover the map that is contained in each of this series. However, I heard, that they charged too little for each book (in England I think they were just £5 or £6!!) so they couldn't finish the series for ...

Simon Clifford

Trans-Atlantic Publications, 1999

Lavish, Pure, and Just Plain Amazing!
If you've witnessed the skill and pure creativity of Brazilian soccer, you're bound to be amazed when you open a copy of this book. As I stood in the stores, pondering my decision for my next "skills and drills" book, I happened to stumble upon a copy of "Play The Brazilian Way", the last one on the shelf. Out of curiosity, I opened the book, and the next thing I knew, I spent over an hour ...

Boyzone Go East
This was the first book (of many) that I have bought of Boyzone and I have to say that it's really cool.

Boyzone go east is a great book which provides insight into the lives of everyone's favourite Boyz!

Buongiorno Italia! (CD Pack) (CD Pack) (CD Pack)4 reviews
John Cremona

Trans-Atlantic Publications, Inc., 2005

Great for beginners
I bought this book in conjunction with a very very primary Italian language course, and ended up getting more from the book than I did from the course. The book is well laid out in the sense that every chapter is the logical followup to the previous one, and you get a great sense of confidence because it's such a great teacher, and makes it so easy to get to love the language. By halfway ...

Norman Ashford

Trans-Atlantic Publications, 1991

Very comphrensive to all areas of airport operations
This book is an excellent text to all airport related personnels. I found it's particularly useful to people working in airport and/or aviation management who want to gain more in-depth understanding to all areas of airport operations. This book can also serve as in-house classroom training text for airline personnel. A highly recommended one!
  
  











  



  
Gears & Gear Cutting (Workshop Practice Series) (Workshop Practice Series) (Workshop Practice Series) ...3 reviews
Ivan Law

Trans-Atlantic Publications, Inc., 1987

Review of Gears & Gear Cutting
This is the most informative book on gear cutting that I have ever read. Even though the "Machinists' Handbook" covers gears in more precise mathematical detail, this book was written to educate the hobby or amateur machinist on how to both design and make several types of gears (spur, worm, bevel). The author educates the reader on gear theory, and then on how to make the gears on inexpensive ...
  
  











  



  
Aircraft Workshop: Learn To Make Models That Fly (Learn to Make Models) (Learn to Make Models)3 reviews
Kelvin Shacklock

Trans-Atlantic Publications, Inc., 2000

THE BEST BOOK
This is indeed the best book I have found todate on building R/C aircraft models. This targets intelligent beginers and takes them through a progression of increasingly complex models , culminating in a scale spitfire. Unlike most other books this book is information rich and not an advertisment for specific R/C products or the great skills and models of the authors buddies. It does a good job ...
  
  











  



  
Capers: Tales From an Himalayan Boarding School3 reviews
Sam M. Parry, Jeffrey Beauchamp

Trans-Atlantic Publications, 1999

A FUNNY, DELIGHTFUL, EXCELLENT READ!
Amazingly funny stories of growing up in a British Borading School in the Himalayas in the 1950s. I found the characters wonderful, the stories extremely well written, and the plots very entertaining. They reminded me of my own time at a borading school in England in the 60s. A delight. Especially good reading if you're feeling under the weather. Switch off the T.V. and curl up with Capers!

The Worst Journey in the World: Antarctic, 1910-134 reviews
Apsley Cherry-Garrard

Trans-Atlantic Publications, 1994

Worst Journey - best book
Apsley Cherry-Garrard's amazing tale of life in the Antarctic as the youngest member of Scott's fatal expedition. I was gripped from the very first line of this book; "Polar exploration is at once the cleanest and most isolated way of having a bad time which has been devised." He describes wearing clothes for 6 months with no dirt building up on them, or it being 'more lonely than London' and ...
  
  











  



  
The Guitar Handbook: The Essential Encyclopedia for Every Guitar Player4 reviews
Ralph Denyer

Trans-Atlantic Publications, 1982

Great Reference For Newbies and Pros Alike
This is one of the few guitar books I've seen that is well rounded without lacking substance. It has a good amount of material covering the history of the guitar, how it is amplified, how things like materials, neck length, string action, etc, can effect tone, and playability on all sorts of axes. It even includes brief histories on some of the larger manufacturers and what to look for when ...

Radio Control Foam Modelling4 reviews
David Thomas, Sid King

Trans-Atlantic Publications, Inc., 2000

Great book for beginners and intermediate skilled modellers
Even though the book was written in Europe (it refers to some materials, which are hard to find in the U.S.), its quite useful and well written. I consider myself an experienced scratch builder, but I found a lot of useful information, building techniques, and construction ideas in this book. Highly recommend to everybody using foam in the airplane construction.
  
  











  



  
The Complete Classic Pilates Method: Centre Yourself with this Step-by-Step Approach to Joseph Pilates' ...3 reviews
Miranda Bass

Trans-Atlantic Publications, Inc., 2007

The only good way to learn Pilates on your own
After buying all the other Pilates books, I finally found this one: this is the book you want. It includes particularly clear photos and descriptions of every exercise, sufficient to actually learn them. It includes ultra-precise directions for the crucial details (that are glossed over in other books which tell you that you can only learn everything by taking a dozen $90/hr lessons from a ...
