Debbie Seaman, Seaman Debbie

Ten Speed Press, 1999

This book brought me relief!
I had never had a fear of flying until about five years ago. A bunch of occurrances...forgetting my husband't suit for a wedding (and having to run back home, and back to the airport with three minutes to spare), 9/11, a few very turbulent flights, being tired and dehydrated (which made me ill) before getting on a plane all added up to a paralyzing fear. Not only did I have a more than ...

Michael L. George

McGraw-Hill, 2002

Written for a specific audience ..
"Lean Six Sigma: Combining Six Sigma Quality with Lean Speed" is not a how-to book written for actual front-line practitioners of the techniques. Instead, George's effort is expressly directed to the possibly skeptical CEO who may be considering implementing a Lean/6 Sigma effort and who needs to know a bit more detail. As he says on page 70: "One of the goals of this executive overview is ...

It covers the basics
After reading this book one can most definitely move from a simple point-and-shoot perspective on taking pictures to a more deliberate choice in the process. You'll definitely want a camera that will give you some control after this.

Cooking With Cafe Pasqual's: Recipes From Santa Fe's Renowned Corner Cafe

Katharine Kagel

Ten Speed Press, 2006

Falling In Love again!
The review I did for Ms. Kagel's previous book was entitled: Can You Fall In Love With A Cookbook? Well, the answer was yes and is yes. It is difficult to believe it has been a decade since the last wonderful book was published. In those years I have matured as a cook/baker and it appears Cafe Pasqual has matured, but in a good way. The recipes in this volume are a little different with a ...

Great book
I have had the pleasure of interviewing Chester on my gardening show on a couple of occassions and found him charming, enlightening and certainly passionate about his garlic.

Mollie Katzen

Ten Speed Press, 1994

An excellent gourmet vegetarian cookbook
Just shy of 400 pages this is a gem of a cook book.What I appreciate about the book is it is laid out as meals. Of course you can make one item or all or mix and match and combine with family favorites you already have. On page 17 the author has a "How To Use This Book" section where she reminds the reader that sometimes it is when we do not follow a recipe so closely that we learn to love ...

awesome - life changing - but read the first two in the series first
This book is as life-changing as the first couple in the series. One builds on the next. I was skeptical at first - but wow am I glad I went into it with an open mind and tried out these processes. The shift I experienced is hard to describe with mere words. Try it and you'll see!!!

Another great garlic book by Aaron
Like "Garlic Is Life" Aaron hits it out of the park for garlic lovers everywhere. Again the recipes were out of this world and Chesters unique way of imparting his wisdom and experiences were a delight to devour. I couldn't wait to get some more of "Chesters" garlic planted this fall to continue my own adventure into the wonderful world of garlic.

Well, I Love It
If you want 254 pages of art from the film, this isn't it. Instead you get a lot of art, costume designs, character profiles, and the complete shooting script.
