250 Essential Chinese Characters For Everyday Use: Volume 2

13 reviews
Philip Yungkin Lee

Tuttle Publishing, 2004

A fine way to learn Chinese Characters
I love this book. If you're looking to get started on the written Chinese language, I really can't think of a better source of instruction. Each page consists of one single character. For each character every stroke is broken down, the character is explained and half the page is empty squares of practice space. You can also buy flash cards that go along with the book. Writing in Chinese is the ...

nice read
A short narrative story about two men's attempt to climb mountation Aso. One man comes from a nice, slightly well off family while the other is a the son of a tofu seller who seeks to change the world by making all rich people tofu sellers. The book is very easy to follow unless you forget who is speaking (and then things become a little difficult) but other then that, you should have no ...

250 Essential Kanji for Everyday Use, Vol. 1 (Tuttle Language Library)

10 reviews
Akiyo Nishino, Junko Ishida

Tuttle Publishing, 1993

One of two main contenders
This series of two volumes contends with "Basic Kanji Book vols 1 & 2" as perhaps the best introduction to kanji. Both series introduce 500 high frequency kanji and associated vocabulary. If you are in Japan or will be there soon then this one may be more useful as it has a greater emphasis on practical vocabulary (signs, menus etc). The down side is that it doesn't present the kanji in as ...

Acupuncture (Alternative Health Series)
Michael Nightingale

Tuttle Publishing, 1994

Renowned accupuncturist Michael Nightingale's Acupuncture provides a fine introduction to this science. Focusing on the body's energy meridians in great detail and illustrating the "Chinese clock," notion of how the organs experience energy surges at different times of the day, Nightingale explains how acupuncturists make diagnoses and recommend the correct diet depending on one's symptoms. Nightingale explains acupressure and other forms of ...

ABC's of Origami

Sarasas, Claude Sarasas

Tuttle Publishing, 1989

Amazing Little Book!
What first attracted me to this book, despite owning several origami books, was that this one has several patterns which make human forms... animals are so much more common, but my daughter wanted to make some little origami dolls, and humans are hard to find in beginner-level origami books. Ah, this is SO MUCH MORE than just another beginner-level origami book! It is an alphabet book, and ...

250 Essential Kanji for Everyday Use, Volume 2

University of Tokyo Kanji Text Research Group

Tuttle Publishing, 1998

This is the best book I have come across for kanji
I have tried a number of books for learning kanji, but this one is the most effective that I have used so far. It is good because it provides real-life examples of the very kanji that you are learning, such as housing applications, grocery store listings, and Japanese computer menus. I would highly recommend this book, along with Vol. 1.

75 Down Blocks: Refining Karate Techniques

4 reviews
Rick Clark

Tuttle Publishing, 2003

A wealth of interesting ideas
In recent years we have learnt that to understand our style thoroughly we have to go beyond our style; but in so doing we can find the effective self defence principles that were there all along. So practitioners of karate, tae kwon do, kung fu and so on are realizing that their kata and even basic kihon can make sense as self defence -in a way they never did as "traditionally" taught - if we ...

The 47 Ronin Story

John Allyn

Tuttle Publishing, 2006

Samurai Ethics 101
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is based on an 18th century historical event, which has been retold many times. Mr. Allyn writes a very readable story that emphasizes duty, honor, betrayal and loyalty. Mr. Allyn's version of this story is not only exciting but he also does an effective job describing the rigid social structure of this period in Japan. And he does so in a simple and elegant ...

Great new book for children
This beautifully illustrated and written book opens American children's eyes to a fascinating epoch in Chinese history--the great sailing of the "Treasure Fleet" on its several voyages all through Southeast Asia, India, the eastern coast of Africa, and all the way to the Red Sea. Not only does it open a window onto China's rich history, it also provides an excellent geography lesson (thanks to ...

Advanced Golf
I purchased the book Advanced Golf at the recommendation of a golfing friend to help improve my game. I have found the book most helpful because, although classified as used, the picture and text were clear and helpful. Thank you.

Tuttle Publishing, 1994

One of my favorites! Why do people hate it?
First off, I love this book and I was very mad to hear stuff like "All people who like it are stupid" I read one review where the person said "It shows how stupid Anericans can be" You misspelled Americans buddy! People did talk like that. I know because they still talk like that. I loved the language, and snobs who just turn their noses up and say "that's not proper English!" are obnoxious and ...
