Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands (Vol. 1): Guiding Principles to Welcome Rain into Your Life And Landscape 17 reviews
Brad Lancaster
Chelsea Green Publishing Company, 2006
Wonderful, readable, and essential
This is an incredible study of a topic that most of us don't think about much, that is, how we are wasting our rainwater, and what we could be doing instead. This is required reading for anyone who cares about the environment.
Best, the book is highly readable, with excellent illustrations. I knew literally nothing about this topic before I read this book. Now I am a believer. The story of ...

Disney Editions, 2003
A SPIRITED TRIBUTE TO A DISNEY CLASSIC
This book is a must read for ALL ages and ANYONE interested in Disney theme park attractions around the globe. Any Disney fan knows that the Imagineers are very particular about what is revealed to the general public in terms of how they make their Disney 'magic' and I was pleasantly surprised (being an avid Disney fan myself) by the research that went into the making of this book and the amount ...

A beautiful way to introduce natural homebirth to children :-)
This is a superbly illustrated book that tells the story of a homebirth in a rural setting from a child's point of view. It is relaxed and introduces the idea of birth free from fear ~ something this culture desperately needs more of. :) It truly is a joyous read, and extremely touching for those of us who have experienced this particular wonder ~ peaceful, warm, and life-changing. And what ...

It is finally over....*sniff*
Whew! I laughed until my mouth hurt, I went thirsty while reading this series so I wouldn't wet my pants or spit out my juice. I tried not to read Maison Ikkoku in public because my laughing made people look at me. I made sure that when I reached the more tender, introspective scenes, that I locked myself in my room so I wouldn't embarrass myself when I began to cry. I connected with Yusaku ...

Welcome Rain, 1998
One of my Favourites!
I have a vast collection of Princess Diana memorabilia. My collection of Diana books is quite enormous, and sometimes I lose track of the books I own, but this book is one in my collection that ALWAYS comes to mind first! It is one of the most well done books I have seen. The photos are fabulous, and the design of the book is very cleverly done. It shows Diana in her most famous outfits ...

Welcome Books, 2000
LOVE IT!!!
I received this book from my friend when my daughter was first born and started reading to her early on. She is now 22 months and loves this book. Every night she wants me to read her a story from this book. She carries this book everywhere with her. She loves the illustrations and when we go out to dinner this book does the trick to entertain her while we wait. The book is now falling apart ...

A Generation's Struggle
Seldom have ten pages plunged me deeper into tears than this eloquently simple tribute by Edd Voss.
I was instantly transported back many years...to airports mainly. The green class A's and heavy green bags. The tears of men who had done no more than answer the call to arms...just as we were taught we should do from the time we could walk.
The tears of years later when deserters and men ...

Welcome to the Terrordome: The Pain, Politics and Promise of Sports19 reviews
Dave Zirin
Haymarket Books, 2007
Thought provoking and electric.
Amongst sports writers David Zirin is a man among boys. He hasn't just mastered a single aspect of the genre; he has reinvented it with the complete package, which is showcased in Welcome to the Terrordome. Zirin combines acerbic wit, original insights (which is rare in sports journalism), a higher understanding of 20th century social history and an infallible drive to deliver "untouched" goods ...

What we need to understand
This book tells the hard-core truth of what our men and women go through and the lifelong pain and suffering they endure for our freedom. It is graphic but for those of us who care to know the truth, it is exactly what it needs to be. My heart goes out to this author and every other veteran.

Welcome to the North Pole: Santa's Village in Applique11 reviews

That Patchwork Place, 1997
Welcome to the North Pole
I found this to be a charming project. Very versatile for making one block or many. Also, the possibilities were endless for decorating and using materials, buttons etc on hand. Instructions were clear and it could be easy (iron on ) or more experienced (hand appliqued completely.) I will be making several for next year. (Not enough time for this year)!

This book is excellent as a teaching tool. It describes life and all its surroundings in the year 1774. Very well written and photos are excellent. I used it for a 5th Grade class on a class trip to a 1690 homestead.

Great Thangka!
I have a modest collection of new, good-quality Thangka ($150 to $400, up to 25"), but the quality of the Thangka displayed in this collection are beyond my price and size range. If you are considering buying a Thangka, get this book first to see how high the bar can go. No faded antiques here. For the most part the book's format is one page text, one page painting, but some intricate Thangka ...
