I really enjoyed this book. It is a lovely, lyrical ode to a region that is unknown and unvisited by most Americans, but that certainly seems worthy of discovery. The author evokes so perfectly the feel of the place---the rugged landscape, the pace of life, the warmth of the Calabrese people, and of course, the incredible food---that I felt like I was a part of his journey. Very heartfelt and highly recommended!!!

I was expecting to see some in depth ideas on sailboat racing strategy and tactics considering the experience of the authors ; what I got was a beginners handbook reminding me to wear sunscreen when I go out on the water.

Most of what is given in this book is on the water common sense for beginner dinghy sailors, anyone looking for some high level, experienced thoughts on sailboat racing should stay away from this book.

The conclusions made by Mr. Hitchcock are more halucinative than scholarly. This book attempts to establish a unified prophecy about Iran and Israel based on biblical stories, but it ignores numerous current and historical facts. I am sorry about accepting Amazon.com's recommendation on buying this book.

I have purchased many many decorating books and for the most part I find something I can use from the book. This book just didn't do it for me. The pictures were nice, but the decorating projects were for someone who likes to sew alot.

As a compliment to other books on the subject this one would suffice to add some detail, but I certainly am glad it's not the only book on solar home building I own. The material seems to be presented from a limited, but technical, scope of understanding. Although some technical and accurate information has found it's way into the pages of this book, I have found it on all levels to be missing what ever mysterious combination of qualities makes a good user friendly how to book. From my reading of other books on the subject what fresh material and/or thought this book brings to the subject seems to be either contrary or obsolete. The methodology in this book seems particularly biased to a very limited way of covering the concerns of anyone interested in passive solar homes. Again this book could potentially supplement a reasonible collection, but I'm glad it's not my only book on the subject, and I'm certainly glad that it wasn't my first book on the subject! I'm not saying that this book is all wrong, but I find it to be far from alright! If you haven't bought a book on this subject yet, keep looking...I reccomend THE PASSIVE SOLAR HOUSE by James Kachadorian instead, it is more complete and more in touch!

There were too many pictures. Writing was very awkward

This book is a garbage. The answers are totally wrong!

I bought it and never open it. It has the same stuff in the book and still no answers or help on the problems you are doing

i would like to know the sukuma history at the moment

This book was written in 1988. The pictures of machines and products are 15 years old. The price is not justfied by the nostalgia of formulas for mixing Bicarb from dry concentrate!
C.F.Gutch is the value for information there is. Save your money skip this one.
