This book was very informative and was all my husband and I needed to build our split level deck. We were able to easily enlarge a deck design from the book to fit out space.

This book summarily tests you for your personal investing or trading talent and teaches you what style best serves you in instinctively examining the best path for your investing/trading intuition.

An excellent, practical guidebook for the mutual fund investor. Helps you understand what you own.

As a first year nursing student, I found this textbook to be a very useful tool. It contains many charts and photos to help you to understand and "see" the wonders of the human body.

I was thrilled to find this book, which happens to include a recipe I had been seeking (and begging from Chinese bakeries, to no avail) for the last six years. You know how you walk into any Chinese bakery in the United States and see a range of treats, from the very traditional Chinese ones to the peculiarly Chinese renditions of baked goods in the European and American traditions? Well, this book presents recipes for lots and lots of Chinese-bakery treats, covering the whole range, from east to west.

Among the more traditional Chinese treats are moon cakes filled with sweet red bean paste surrounding a savory egg yolk, little cakes of chewy pineapple filling wrapped in a short-crust pastry, savory curry and pork pies, little eggy custard tarts, and the childhood favorite of mine whose recipe eluded me all these years: "bo lo mien bao, "commonly known as "pineapple buns" even though there is no pineapple in it, because of the pattern made when the crusty golden topping cracks during baking, and in this book inartfully called "Rolls with Scaly Crust" but absolutely delicious! For afficionados of Chinese baking, this book gives recipes for making the mysterious "Invert Syrup" and "Lye" I have seen referred to but not explained in some old recipes.

As for the traditionally European and American bakery treats, what I love is that these are the typically Chinese renditions of western favorites. If you have not been to a Chinese bakery and tasted the way the Chinese and other Asian peoples like their western baked goods to taste (and think they should taste!), just imagine a world in which yeasted bread loaves, rolls, buns, and doughnuts are all made with a white and fluffy sweet-roll dough, even when the treats that are filled with savory fillings. Imagine cakes with the finest, fluffiest of textures: American Strawberry Cake; Vanilla Chiffon Cake, Chocolate Chiffon Cake; Raisin Swiss Roll, and the deliciously different Cheddar Cheese Cake. Evaporated milk is widely used in Chinese baking in place of fresh milk, but some of the recipes call for fresh milk or cream, such as Caramel Pudding and Chocolate Chiffon Pie. The techniques given for Basic Pie Shell dough and the Basic Tart Shell dough are unconventional, but, as once could say is the theme of this entire collection, that's the Chinese take on it!

I highly recommend this book to bakers who want to create Chinese-bakery favorites at home, especially to those who are always feeling that they live too far away from a Chinese bakery or who like western bakery treats the way they are made in Chinese bakeries. Beautiful color photographs of the finished items as well as step-by-step color photos of many of the techniques. Clear Instructions in English and Chinese. Avoirdupois and metric measurements. A unique collection of hard-to-find recipes. You will love this book!

I don't like giving out 5 stars but this book deserves them! NOT intended for beginners, this book is the only English source for information on the "jings" or skills involved in practicing real taiji. I really like how the author separates the translation from his commentary. This makes it easier to know who is saying what. An excellent reference, especially for those trying to understand how to perform correct tui shou.

Ages 3-8 will enjoy this beautiful folk story, embellished with Grace Lin's warm drawings and capturing the immigrant experience from the eyes of a young Chinese girl whose beloved fisherman father vanishes at sea. Good reading skills will lend appreciation to this story of a girl's growth.

This book is an invaluable source of perspective on understanding the subtle linkage between driving world class manufacturing and human relations. Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld is clearly one of the pre-eminent scholars in the field of labor relations today and this book demonstrates his ability to diagnose and explain complex scenarios and relationships with ease and clarity.

This is the classic story of a Chinese woman. Lady Wu is power hungry and will go to any length to get and keep power. She is an expert manipulator, and destroys everyone in her path. This book keeps you on the edge of your seat. The best Chinese novel I have ever read. Lin Yu Tang was a genius. His other books are also excellent, I recommend them all highly.
