This is an excellent book for those who want their kids to learn Spanish, and those children (or adult) who already know Spanish. The book is full of an extraordinary and extensive vocabulary, which my daughter has acquired very well. Through its colorful and well descriptive illustrations, the book really shows the tropical environment and nature. In addition, the publisher has done a superb job on describing the animals and plants presented on the stories at the end of the book. Despite the six stories are fictitious, they give a great and interesting knowledge of the nature and specially the water. I do certainly recommend this book.

I was really amazed at how many different types of recipes were in this book. It has everything from Southern dishes to Chinese dishes. It had many new ideas for the adventureous cook. If you love to cook or eat, this is the book for you. The instructions are simple and the ingredients are easy to find. The tips you learn in this book, are invaluable to creating the perfect meal. Regardless of the amount of time you have to prepare a meal, you can find what you need in this book. I own a lot of cook books, and 'An American Feast' is by far the most versatile and flavor rich. Don't miss out on this one.

This entire of collection of four books (Annunciation, Last Supper, Crucifixion, Descent) will be a treasure to all those who love great art and especially those attracted to religious art. Each book is beautifully bound in its own brilliant metallic color: gold, silver, bronze and copper. The unique size and color of the books make this set aesthetically pleasing. It is a wonderful collection to display on any shelf. The prints, more than 100 in each book, are of superb quality. Phaidon, the publisher, is recognized for excellence and elegance in all their printing. There is scant text; each book has a New Testament scriptural preface, then a brief caption accompanies each image.

As the titles project, a central event in Christ's life is elucidated by the world's best artistic masters; each brings their own commentary to the selected Christological theme. Most enjoyable, and educational, is the progression through time, starting with early art pieces and finishing with contemporary masters: Salvador Dali, Andy Warhol and Craigie Aitchison to mention just a few. From beginning to end, each book is a wonderful journey through time.

In "Annunciation," a book more about Mary than her son, each artist strives to capture this phenomenal encounter; a meeting unlike any other recorded in history. The Apostle Luke wrote; "the Angel Gabriel was sent from God... and he came to her and said..." Each photo plate vividly shows through form, color and light this astonishing angelic address. The progression of art shows how Mary's image has changed over the last two millenniums. This is a wonderful book, in a fantastic collection, at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended

The reason i liked this book so much is because i could relate to it and helped me so much to understand what was happening with me and what all the doctors were trying to say.

Exactly what I was looking for.. it goes into details on how many oils affect the emotions, plus their history and blending tips, whilst staying in language which is easy and pleasant to read. Also has fascinating chapters on the history of scent in perfume, ritual, psycho-aromatherapy, and more.

This book was written by 2 very successful graphic designers who own their own company in Chicago. The book will serve as a useful guide for young people who are considering a career in graphic design.

If I have to keep only one book about embroidery, I'll choose this one !
It supposes though that you know how to make the different stitches, it is not a dictionnary : it is about composition and color, how to prepare original backgrounds, the use of the stitches both hand and machine. Good review of fabrics and threads and how to marry them according to your goal.
Very inspirationnal pictures and close-up.
It opens you the doors of creativity.

Don't let the slimness of this volumne fool you--it contains all the information you'd need to learn about beading or to do beading yourself. The instructions are clear, the drawings helpful, and the color photographs of antique bead work brilliant. I especially like learning how to make beads out of rose petals and also how to make some beaded edgings for curtains. I found this book to learn how to string beads to weight the edges of some very lightweight curtains, and it is so much more--I read this cover to cover. It's the best of the many beading books I looked at.
