This is an excellent book for anyone interested in teaching creative dance, whether you have dance experience yourself or not. The book provides a thorough overview of what creative dance is and how to teach it. There are hundreds of dance exercises included, as well as sample lesson plans and useful suggestions for how to structure your classes. As a dance teacher, I have found this book to be the most helpful I've encountered -- I use it constantly!

Islam at the Crossroads is informative, insightful, and balanced. It's size and style make it accessible to the concerned layperson. It offers exactly what Christians in America (and around the world) need to understand as an introduction to Islam. Marshall, Gilbert and Green have written a splendid treatment of one of the most critical topics facing the Church today.

Martyn Green was one of the Great D'oyly Carte patter singers. This book has the libretti of all of the shows, except for Utopia and Grand Duke, and Simary arrangements of the music. It is a great first book for any lover of G&S and a must have for anyone with any interest in G&S.

If there would be a criticism, it would be the relative lack of explainations of some of the more obscure words in the cannon, but this can be remedied by reference to the Harry Benford Lexicon (also available from Amazon). And the little bits about production practice which litter the libretti, more than make up for this.

The other drawback is the absurd decision not to keep this book in print.

This book was my first exposure to Gilbert and Sullivan, and this book can take a large part of the credit for my continued love of G&S. The book contains the libretti of all but two of the Operetta's (sadly lacking in Grand Duke and Utopia, Ltd) which are annotated with explainations of some of the terms, and comments from Martyn Green, both about how D'Oyly Carte performed it as well as personal recollections. The book also contains wonderful illustrations by Lucile Cocoros and Piano Transcriptions of a number of songs by Alfred Sirmay. (The Piano transcriptions and the Cocoros illustrations are recycled from the 1941 Deems Taylor G&S Volume.. this one is MUCH better because of the libretti and the fact that Green, unlike Taylor, clearly loved the work of G&S and didn't appear to have an axe to grind because the public didn't like his compositions as well as that of Sullivan...) It is a criminal shame that this book has been allowed to go out of print. It is becoming harder and harder to find and is a very important part of anyone who likes G&S's library..

I read an Anne of Green Gables many, many years ago and immediatly fell in love. At once, I went out and bought the entire series, loving each book more than the one before. This is a line of books I would highly recommend to anyone, of any age. It is truly my favorite set of books. No matter how many times I have read it...and my first copy had fallen apart years ago...I laugh and cry just as hard as I did the first time. Anne of Green Gables 2, or Anne's House of Dreams, is a wonderful story of a couple just starting out in marriage. Moving from their friendly town of Avonlea, they started out anew, in a little cottage by the seashore. Gilbert, Anne's husband, is a young doctor, beginning his practice. They make many new friends, each more interesting than the last. There is even a mystery to unravel in their midst! Romance galore, love, friendship and dreams unfold before our eyes. Even when we read of their tragedies, we hurt along with them, feeling their pain. That is how well this book is written. Read it, enjoy it and buy the whole set. You will never regret it!

Anne of Green Gables is one of the first books to make me fall in love...with it. I mean, it was cute, it was lesson teaching (hehe, that sounds strange), and Anne was just such a good character. She sort of reminded me of me: bad temper (I've gotten much cooler now, haha), big words, amazing imagination, smart (haha, well, I was and am PRETTY SMART, at least, I think, haha). Gilbert reminded me of this guy at school...haha, well, I won't get into details there, but the book was charming, and I've already read it over four times in only like three years, which is sort of alot. I loved this book, and I believe that many other people will learn to appreciate its cuteness and truth and stuff over the years, hehe. Enjoy!

When I first read this book many years back, I loved it, and was sad for it to end when I finished reading it. I loved every single part of it...I simply couldn't put it down. Anne is such a character...you can't help liking her more and more, and wishing that she was your own "bosom friend" just as I did. While reading, I was transported back to that time, and I could just see Avonlea and Green Gables, the school which Anne studied in, and I could see Diana and Miss Stacy and Gilbert just as if they were my own friends.

I loved this book, and read it many times over again after I first picked it up, and it still delighted me. Lucy Maud Montgomery is a stunning writer, and I believe that she must have been like Anne, for no one could create such a realistic character and write everything that poured out of Anne's mouth...her made up stories, the things that she she thought of, her wild yet delightful imagination...all in all, Anne of Green Gables is one of the finest books I've ever read, and were ever written. I strongly recommend it to anyone, old or young. Everyone can relate to Anne and she could make you smile like she did for me.

In many of his novels, Gilbert Sorrentino has left linear storytelling in the dust to give equal voice to the alternative points of view of his characters. In his most successful novels - such as Aberration of Starlight and Odd Number - Sorrentino's method raised serious questions about "reality" and whether "facts" can ever be relied upon within the context of fiction. "Gold Fools" also ventures into an exploration of the "real," although its results are decidedly mixed. Sorrentino's penchant for riffing in all directions is present throughout. And he remains one of the few novelists who relish their political incorrectness in ways that can be uproariously funny. But there's a luridness in this book that seemed more than a little inappropriate, given its foundation as a parody of boys adventure books. And the interrogative structure of the novel - while a considerable technical feat - ultimately seemed more like a stunt than anything that contributed to a deeper understanding of what the author is trying to accomplish. Perhaps this is burdening this obviously lighthearted novel with too much baggage, but some of the writing seemed (uncharacteristically) forced and was a chore to read. In his 1976 review of "A Month of Sundays.," Sorrentino criticized that book's author, John Updike, for his "vivid" writing where, Sorrentino said, "anything goes as long as the surface dances." In many respects, the same accusation can be leveled at "Gold Fools," whose surface pleasures can't mask the emptiness of the vessal containing them.

Damn, this is a funny book! Sorrentino subverts the Western novel with a ludicrous tale of hunting for gold narrated entirely in interrogative sentences. Reminiscent in some ways of the boys' novel parody in "Misterioso," Sorrentino has a field day with the traditions and lingo of the Western, as well as going off on riffs concerning contemporary culture. Throughout, Sorrentino interrogates our use of language, especially our reliance on cliches; a linguistic hygienist, Sorrentino questions any sloppy misuse of language, knowing that sloppy language can lead to sloppy thinking. The Western genre has attracted many innovative writers--Coover, Brautigan, Kesey, even William Gaddis wrote a Western screenplay, unfortunately never produced--but Sorrentino's inquisitorial contribution is the funniest.

Look at the price and number of pages; this is a VERY slim volume on the health properties of green tea. If you want to have a reference book for yourself or for clients(perhaps you are a holistic health provider) then this book is excellent.

For recipes, more in-depth information, however, this book is just too condensed. In short, the basics, a good reference, the facts, just the facts, ma'am.
