This book helped me appreciate the inner-workings---not just the taste---of tea. I will keep it next to my teapot where it will serve a valuable reference to this ageless beverage.
Even if you have no movement of your limbs, you can train your dog, with equipment that you can get built or buy.
This book is invaluable for anyone who is disabled, and wants to train their own dog.

The book was written for use in law school classes, but it would be valuable to practicing attorneys as well as to managers at major telecommunications firms, especially those working to understand the Telecommunications Act of 1996.

This book (which is a collection of short stories) is the third in the Vinyl Cafe series, following the lives of a "simple" family from Toronto; husband Dave, wife Morley, and kids Stephanie and Sam. Dave owns a used record store (the Vinyl Cafe, who's motto is "We may not be big, but we're small"). Morley works in theatre. They have a dog, they have a cat, they have quirky neighbours; they have a normal life.
The book, however, is anything but normal. Instead of simply plodding along, the book gives us strong comedic stories about universal things that uncondescendingly give a message or moral.
"Love Never Ends" is a touching story about a letter Dave receives from the widow of a man who knew growing up. It sounds like weak material, but you'll either be smiling or crying when you finish. "The Fly" sees Dave swallow one after throwing a chain letter away... and doing whatever he can to get it out of him. "Christmas Presents" follows the family through the Christmas season, as they try to make gifts for each other... with varying results.
The best may be "Harrison Ford's Toes", in where Morley finds an old Tamagotchi she was supposed to give Sam for Christmas a few years before. She decides to hide it from Dave when he comes in the room, too ashamed to admit she'd lost it and forgot about it. She pretends to be reading a magazine with Harrison Ford on the cover and makes a silly comment about how perfect Harrison Ford's Toes are. Let's just say that over the next few days, Dave tries his best to get his toes to look better than Mr. Ford's, and that when Morley begins to spend a bit too much time with the Tamagotchi.
I recomend this book to literally anyone who likes to read. It's the kind of book for all of us who've ever tried to toilet train our cat, or has ever had the sprinklers go off during a Christmas pageant, or has ever worried about their son's knitting habit. Go buy it. Enjoy.
Water explores many concepts that will be familiar to science fiction afficionados, particularly the continued evolution of sentience and new forms of life, whilst seamlessly blending new perspectives on the roles that technology, particularly nanotechnology, could play in our future.
It is the encounters with the metacetaceans, the powerful inhabitants of Water, that really makes this book stand out from much of the current crop of recycled science fiction. Jackson's unconventional approach to translating the metacetacean's mode of communication, whilst disorienting at first, really serves to remind the reader of the differences in cognition and comprehension between his human and non-human characters. Flocanalog, who is partway between these two worlds, makes the point abundantly clear as he undergoes a long and traumatic removal from his symbiotic shell, in order to make the journey to Novagaia.
In all, Water is a thoroughly enjoyable read that remains thought-provoking without disappearing into the realm of self-indulgence. I will be eagerly awaiting more of the same from Stuart Jackson.
facial anatomy book. It covers from skin tension lines,
facial muscles, facial nerves, to skin agin and many more.
Each topic has its own extensive photos and highest quality
illustrations, together with a list of the very helpful
citation, references at the end of each chapter.
I have read this book at least 5 times, and I still
constantly use it as a reference for my computer facial
modeling and animation research work.
Anyway,.. I hope that this book will print at least
100,000 more copies. It's simply a piece of art..!!
