This book has some incredibly beautiful photographs of a fantastically beautiful city. There are the standard photos of the Grand Canal palazzi, but also pictures of the details that make Venice so special... gardens, small statues guarding stone walls, interiors - both palatial and practical, artisans' workshops, brown robed monks on San Giorgio looking towards Venice ... From the back cover: "A comprehensive and beautifully illustrated guide to the grand style and traditions of Venice and its inhabitants. Through rich text and over 430 breathtaking photographs, discover and explore the more intimate, picturesque, and rarely seen sides of this majestic city." This is a Beautiful and Inspiring book.

Being a polo player myself, I found The Maltese Cat a very interesting and accurate view of the game. Being from the ponies perspective is original and entertaining and it makes me wonder what my ponies are thinking when I play them!

Loved reading it to pieces and can read it over and over again...

Out of several versions of illustration on this book, I love the Frediric Back by far the best. His illustration adds so much more warmth and at the same time sentiment to this great story.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy is a widespread treatment that has unfortunately not received the empirical testing it deserves. One reason that has been cited for its lack of research is the difficulty in standardizing psychodynamic psychotherapy in a manual form so that therapists can be trained to deliver it reliably. Dr. Milrod and her colleagues have met this challenge. Their book clearly describes how psychodynamic psychotherapy can be focused to treat panic disorder, a common and disabling but treatable condition. The book serves as the treatment manual for an ongoing comparative psychotherapy study at Cornell University in New York City, where Panic-Focused Psychodynamic Psychotherapy is being compared to another treatment to test its efficacy. The authors are knowledgeable psychoanalysts. Their well-written book should be helpful to psychodynamic psychotherapists, and perhaps to patients with panic as well. It represents an important advance for the field.

The Nobel poet who brought back the Provencal language to his beloved Provence writes of his home and surroundings and his quartrains. If you love the childhood memories of Marcel Pagnol, you'll love this book too.

Everyone involved in empirical work using statistics now needs to understand meta-analysis. This monograph, along with Light and Pillemer's Summing Up, is the place to begin.

This is a wonderful story in a refreshing Texas setting. A strong woman character that is fighting her way to respect in the good ole boy system. I can't wait to read what happens in the next one!

After reading the one straw revolution i really wanted to see how Fukuokas' system worked. I was not disapointed by this well layed out and functional guide to his methods. While his philosophy claims that no list of rules and time tables can acturatelly set out how natural farming should work, the publication of the hystory and methods of his experiment proves vital to the unhinging of common industrial theories on the subject.

When Triton's childhood friend, Nefazia from the Indian Ocean visits the palace, the princesses are very excited. All except for Aquata. She is convinced that Nefazia has come to marry Triton and convinces her sisters likewise. Ariel does not think that is logical. But after she fails to carry out one of her sisters' plans because of what she knows is right, her sisters exclude her from their plans to scare Nefazia away. Soon Ariel uncovers a plot, which if not corrected, could have a disastrous ending. Can Ariel and her sisters correct the mistake in time?

If you truly want to understand the Bible Days this is a must have book. This book brings the Bible to life again. You can see every detail of how people really lived. This is not a dictionary but more of an Advanced Encyclopedia on how people really lived. I believe the Illustrated Version with the Photography is very important to have here. The Photography is so amazing and detailed. I also ordered, Nelson's New Illustrated Bible Dictionary : An Authoritative One-Volume Reference Work on the Bible, With Full-Color Illustrations... Using the two of these together you can really understand the meaning of phrases and words in the Bible.

Take for example if I said, "This is a really cool book". 1000 years from now you would think I was saying this book is very cold. But really I meant this book is very useful, neat, or exciting. These Two Nelson books go hand in hand.
