Recently brought back into print, British flower arrangement expert Constance Spry's Flower Decoration is enhanced with a new preface by Michele Tucker and continues to enjoy remarkable status as a landmark book of sophistication, ingenuity, and a willingness to bend the rules in search of beauty. Individual chapters look in depth at different highlights a proper arrangement can bring, focusing alternately on flowers of every color, flowers for weddings, decorations specific to Christmas gathering, office parties, festive gatherings, restaurant celebrations, and much more. Black-and-white photographs round out this superb treatise which has weathered the test of time well. Flower Decoration is essential reading for amateur and professional flower arrangers, whether for everyday interior adornment or special occasion celebrations.

It's difficult to keep up with the new business management theories that come up, so I tend to shy away from most of them. Of course, if Peter Drucker writes something I'm quick to pounce on it. That being said, it was the status of the contributors themselves that lured me in to this great overview and analysis of servant-leadership. Stephen R. Covey and Ken Blanchard ("One-Minute Manager", "Who Moved My Cheese") offer great insight into a concept that actually has been around since the 1970's! Employee welfare is not to be undermined! If Stephen Covey already knows this, shouldn't we all get the clue? Recommended!

The life of Frida Kahlo, one of the world's greatest women artists, is excellently portrayed in this book. Rauda Jamis manages to give us a unique insight of the pain, anguish and passion that fill the world of Frida. From her birth to her death, the book captures us and invites us to travel with Frida, as we identify ourselves more and more as we read, with this fascinating woman.

I can not be objective, naturally. I am one of the authors. Having reviewed the final product, however, I have to say I am pleased. I hope you will feel the same way. Please share your thoughts with me.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and look forward to the second one. Strocel has a knack for keeping you interested in the characters without losing you in the technical. I couldn't put it down until I knew "Who done it!"

This book is great for anyone who is considering buying a gerbil or even for people who already have one. I most recommed it to people who are trying to convince their parents to let them have a gerbil. Even if you don't want to buy it it is still a good idea to check it out of your local library. It tells you every thing you ever wanted to know about gerbils. About food, housing , handling, anything you can think of. Have fun!

This is a fine,motivating tape that inspires as well as entertains.It is a must for anyone's self-help library.The speaker does a great job and the music in between the messages are great as well. Highly Recommended!

While new on the scene, Michele Gorman shows great promise as a literary mastermind. Her first book tells it like it is. Harry Potter, watch out. If you are a teacher, or parent, trying to reach your kids on a literary level, this book is definitely for you. I just can't wait for her next publication.

I am only one of a lot of women out there but wanted to personally say I love this book.

I call it my "man bible". I literally carry it with me all the time. I don't keep it at home because heaven forbid he would find it. I have now read the book twice and am now going through it again a third time underlining everything that I want to emphasize in my head. That way I figured I could look at these lined phrases in those emergency circumstances.

This wonderful book has really given me new eyes to look through. I will probably memorize it from cover to cover and then read some more. I have already seen some changes! This book is the best thing I have found in a long time.

What a wonderful resource! I only wish this book was available to me before I made my trip. Three other guide books went with me the summer I spent in Panama, and when I found this book in a Panamanian department store, those other books stayed in my suitcase.

"Getting to Know Panama" has a easy to read map to help you get your bearings. It suggests places to eat in all price ranges, places where my group ate like the locals do with the freshest fish and incredible produce. It suggests shopping areas, and spotlights historic locations. And after the first two weeks of straining our brains trying to understand folks with our meager store of Spanish language knowledge, we really appreciated the directions to the English language bookstore!

The book is organized by "neighborhood". This is helpful when you're on your own and organizing your own time. The historical background is interesting and and well-written. And I can honestly say we were never unpleasantly surprized or disappointed with what we found as we explored Panama using "Getting to Know..." as our guide.

Pick this book and pack it FIRST if you're planning a trip to Panama!
