The title might be a bit misleading, since many people might think Asia/Far East when they read "Oriental." This book includes Egypt, Greece, Iran, Turkey, India, Lebanon and more, presenting a rich cultural feast for beauty and body care rituals.

Some of the ideas presented may not appeal to the average reader, but for the woman who is interested in making her own potions and lotions, this is a fascinating book! Written by Wendy Buonaventura (who also brought us "The Serpent of the Nile") in a very readable and engaging style. If her photo on the back is any indication, this book has terrific information. : )

This book takes some of the *work* out of a beauty routine, and makes it a more sensual experience that many Western women should appreciate. Slow down: take the time you crave to primp, languish in a scented bath instead of rushing through a 10 minute shower. Curl up with this book, and rejoice in being a woman, with our mysteries and our power, and dance through life.

I received this book as a present and I loved it. The pages are so pretty and the information is very useful and sensibly written. I highly recommend it to any woman with a mirror. There is something for anyone to learn about keeping their face and body in good condition.

This book covers bike paths and routes in several cities in Arizona (14 routes), Southern California (6 routes), Northern California (26 routes), Nevada (2 routes) and Utah (8 routes). There are no maps of the routes but the author does a pretty good job of describing them. The descriptions are pretty detailed including such things as places to park, restroom locations, places to eat, level of difficulty, and condition of pavement.

This book seems to be written with the casual cyclist in mind. If you're looking for a route where you can "hammer" out 40 miles at a fast pace then this book is not for you. If you're looking for a place to enjoy a leisurely weekend ride with friends or children, then this book was designed with you in mind, For example, in their level of difficulty ranking the authors consider a 3-mile route with rolling hills to be "challenging."

The only negative comment I have about the book was that it was written about 5 years ago so some of these routes may have changed over the years. For most of the routes, the author does provide a phone number to call to get more information about the route. If you're traveling to a new area and plan to ride one of these routes you may want to call ahead of time to make sure the route or bike path still exists or has not changed.

As its title suggests, this cookbook presents both tried-and-true and updated recipes that will appeal to kosher and non-kosher cooks alike. The type is clear and easy to read and the recipes are realistic for today's cook, both in terms of ingredients and time involved. There are no gorgeous photographs of what the finished dish should look like - but then again, it never does! My daughter uses the recipes to impress her new boyfriend, and I use them to relieve the terminal boredom of preparing yet another meal

this book makes me think of how horrible i am for being a white person. I want to be black
