This has been the best book i`ve ever read. Just amazing. Lots of BLOOD and killing makes it the BEST.

this book was so cooool!!!!! everyone should read it because it is better than anything else and it deserves to have some stars!!!

I first came across this book in my local library. Its rather dull-sounding title notwithstanding, the book is an easy-to-read, lively, thoroughly useful primer for young adults about job loss. As a parent who has experienced being laid off, I highly recommend this book for kids. ...Its main theme is that a parent's unemployment affects the children too, and it addresses the kids' concerns in a caring, positive, and reassuring manner.

I highly recommend this book to anyone from ages 12 and up. In a calm, clear, and engaging way, the author explains unemployment to children: how and why a parent might lose a job, how it affects the whole family, and how to cope with problems. The book is positive and quite comforting, while addressing concerns about unemployment straightforwardly. It's full of good, useful information, even for adults, and can really help children understand and cope with a difficult, yet all too common, issue.

In this tape program, Michele explains how to alter our negative thoughts about money and become more open to the abundance in the universe. Her great songs keep running through my head; I love it!

This audio program has at last helped me to get out of the rut I was in and shift my thinking into high again. I have been in sales with Insurance for many years and NOW I have begun to feel like it is all new and wonderful again. I of course am now making more money and I know it is becuase of this great seminar on tape and of course the songs.

Thank you Michelle keep singing those positive thoughts

Very comphrehensive manual for the beginner and advanced beginner on quilting pieced blocks. (this is not an applique book)
This book is divided into ten main chapters that address the basics of quilt making from beginning to end. Chapters include an overview, templates (and how to make them), squares, rectangles and half-square triangles, triangles, polygons, circles, curves, and arcs, finishing the quilt top,backing , batting, basting, quilting, binding and labels.
Lots of diagrams, template patterns, and color plates, and a cute bunny cartoon character in boxes giving extra tips. I liked the power checklists in bold, large font. It lets you check at the end of a section to make sure you've done everything and the print is big enough to read without glasses.
The chapter on quilting is the most innovative I've read, with Michelle advising the beginning quilter to quilt by machine where
it doesn't show and quilt fancier patterns by hand where it does.
She also recommends a big needle and #8 perl cotton to give big bold stitches for the beginner instead of the tiny stitches that
drive new quilters wild.
There are also clear pictures of how to miter a border and how to
automatic miter the binding.
The book is very logical, helpful and fun in it's layout and I anticipate referring to it again and again.

This book is my new reference manual! I'll refer back to it with every quilt I make. I followed each lesson and when I was done my quilt was finished. I liked that there was a lot of illustrations and helpful hints. The hints on how to fix errors was invaluable.

This is my first online book purchase. I am so impressed with this book. The photos leave nothing to the imagination. Clear and concise from page 1 all the way through to page 117. This book is a must have for every textile collector, buyer, seller.

If you are as passionate as myself for the American curtain and upholstry fabrics of the mid 20th century, you will want to have this book. The photographs of these bold and colorfull textiles are so well desplayed throughout the book it is almost a book of fabric art as well as an excellent reference. The text covers where the designs originated as well as the who, what, when and where that influenced the changes of the textures and designs from the 1920s through the 1950s.

This book is required reading for those interested in opening any form of fashion retail business. The text provides step-by-step guides and well thought-out examples for the reader to follow in preparing a business plan unique to this type of retailing.

If you are entering the world of retail fashion or the fashion industry this book is an absolute necessity. Excellent detailed information taking the reader through the fashion retail process, e-commerce and writing a buisness plan. The CD rom that comes with the book is superior to other business plan software and makes writing a business plan easy.

This was an outstanding book, full of suspense and left you wanting more. Hurry up with the next one.

Three of us at our office just finished this fantastic suspense novel. It is a very fast read, leading you down one path and then another, you are constantly afraid for the young woman doctor, who has seen the true face of EVIL. This is riveting medical suspense, on the forefront of exposing some disturbing horrors. It reminds you of early Grisham, but with more romance and horror combined. One of our office staff met the author Dr. Michele White at a Barnes and Noble book signing and was impressed, she really knows her stuff. This will be a big summer favorite.

Sexual abuse by women remains largely ignored, if even believed. Sexual abuse of males receives even less attention, nevermind credence. This book provides a thorough treatment of sexual abuse by women, of both males and females. It is the only work of its kind that I know. I strongly recommend it, especially for the included life stories. I find it a source of comfort and understanding. Thank you Michele, and the many who contributed

It's lucky that this book is so comprehensive, because it's one of the few books available on this topic. The small publishing house Safer Society (VT) carries some of the only books on this topic.

The title of this book says it all. Freshwater stingrays need more care and attention than most other freshwater fishes. This book covers the precautions regarding usage of heaters (esp. submersible), pH, diet, disease, etc. and watch out for their stings (spines), breeding, etc. It's a good collection in a small book. Some readers may find information that are easily found in other beginner fish books like filtration, etc, but all information are well-presented. I have been searching information for freshwater rays and compare with the info in this book, there are some things that I had not known or realize before, for example, regarding the sensitivity of the china rays and also regarding selection---avoid rays showing "death curl" and undernourishment.... which is the first step in starting the hobby.

Anyone thinking of keeping freshwater stingrays should read this book first as these fishes needs much care and attention and also to avoid making expensive mistakes.

Finally, a book that addresses one of the most interesting of the freshwater aquarium fish. Richard Ross obviously loves the ray. I wish I had this book when I got my first stingray, I would have known what I was in for. Covering everything from the many types of rays and the imprecise naming system to the proper way to administer antibiotics, this book gives you the information that you just don't get at your local fish store. Stingrays aren't goldfish, they take lots of care, but they can make a great addition to your large aquarium. And talk about a conversation starter! This is a must read for anyone looking for something a little more interesting in the tank.

In an era of compromised writing and substandard visual accents in books, this one stands out as a gem not to be missed. Glorious Indoor Gardens is meticulously researched and beautifully written. It highlights gardens across the United States which are characterized by the fact that they are, well, indoors.

If you are not familiar with the author, Miclele Driscoll Alioto, she is the host of HGTV's "The Inside Dirt". I have also read several articles she has written for the San Francisco Chronicle Home and Garden section, where I believe she is a regular columnist.

Alioto structured the book creatively. She clearly spent time interviewing the subjects of the book and has written fascinating profiles of these gardeners (seriously, you want to meet each and every one of these people and have dinner with them!) and the diverse gardens they have developed (small spaces, large spaces, urban, country - one even features a floor made out of sand!)

Glorious Indoor Gardens also provides quality gardening information and tips. You can tell that the author is well-versed and educated about practical gardening, and presents these hints and suggestions in a clear manner.

In addition to the useful, culturally diverse and interesting content, Alioto's book is absolutely gorgeous. It is well presented and the photographs are stunning. Truly, one receives a glimpse into the lives of the gardeners and their gardens. This book is phenominal - I have never been so intuitively moved by a book on gardening. I think it is because so many of my gardening books are either too dry and factual, or they are too heavily reliant on the beauty of the photographs, and the text suffers.

This one really stands out. I have already purchased several copies for friends, gardeners and non-gardeners alike, as gifts. I brought one copy to cheer up a friend who is currently in the hospital recovering from a serious procedure, and who is slightly depressed. She called me bubbling with excitement - I hadn't heard a smile in her voice for a long time. Reading this book, and looking at the beautiful pictures, lifted her spirits and momentarily took her mind off of her pain. Now, she can't wait to get home and start gardening again!

I highly recommend this book to you, even if you are not an avid gardener. This is the first time I have ever posted a book review, and give it a HUGE thumbs-up, it is really not one to be missed and is one of a kind. I can't wait for her to write another!

I am always on the lookout for great books I can give as gifts. One I found recently is Glorious Indoor Gardens by Michele Driscoll Alioto. The book is exceptionally informative, and provides a wealth of practical ideas for anyone interested in gardening, regardless of level of expertise. On top of that, it has some great pictures of spectacular gardens! I put it on my coffee table and all of my guests have commented on how amazing the gardens are. It is a great addition to any household, both as a flip-through picture book and an informative reference guide. I highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates the beautiful things in life!
