Great book on the work of spanish architect E Miralles hisstyle is very peculiar and not easy to pigeon hole as usually happenswith contemporary architects. Miralles work is very inspiring, free form and aggresive. All projects come with a clear description and lots of photographs and drawings. A down things is that graphics are too small some times.

This book is an important contribution to the study of Law, Courts and Politics in Costa Rica.

This book is a must for any owner or manager of an equine breeding facility. It is technical, but relatively easy to read and complete. Whether you're an expert whose been in the business for years or a novice just getting started, this is the primer you've been looking for. It's one you'll want to keep handy for looking up answers to new questions or reviewing the answers to your old ones. Kudos to the author for a job well done. It's worth noting that no matter what breed of horses you work with, you will still find this reference invaluable.

THE EVENT is a first-rate ironic, even sarcastic treatment of the meeting of the two Argentinas in the second half of the 19th century, the "transparent" Argentina of the oligarchs and the "opaque" modern nation made up of European immigrants, such as the protagonist of Saer's novel. The book is a rare rendition of historical misunderstanding by one of the great Latin American narrators of our time, one who remains to be discovered in the English-speaking world

One of Juan Felipe Herrera's best books, with longer poetic treatments displaying his sharpest prismatic formulations of tropical-surrealist technique. Get it while you can; it's one of Herrera's outstanding titles, culmination of decades of work, a milestone among his many other volumes, an edgy testament and exploration of the existential homeland in exile of the emigrant soul in all marginalized people of the 21st century. Tough, tender, terrific.

This book was one of the most important references my wife and I used on our passage from Seattle to Skagway. Not only did it give us ideas on where to go the next day, but where to hide in case the weather didn't cooperate. A must have reference for every boater cruising the Inside Passage.

Boaters around here know the Douglasses as the king and queen of cruisers, and their handbooks are our bibles. They've been everywhere, done everything, and they take *really* good notes. This guide is one result; it includes details on every anchorage, waypoint and description in the area. If you plan to spend any time in Pacific Northwest waters, this book is a must have.

I have cruised several seasons to Southeast. This is the best guide.

'A Favored Place' is a highly complex analysis of wetland history, tracing its development through pre-Columbian times to the present. This is no easy task. Siemens' book guides us through detailed archaelogical aspects, how Spanish conquerors 'read' the land they found themselves in on the Mexican Gulf coast, what a nineteenth century German colonist saw, and how twentieth century planners thought and proposed to do with 'unfavourable' wetlands. Siemens presents us with a rich and elaborate text, which will be obliged reading for specialists (especially historians, and geographers), but also a delight for a more general public interested in the way perceptions diverge over what is desirable and/or feasible when we come up against such troublesome concepts as traditional and modern. Even though the book abounds in complex technical and methodological questions, amply backed up by maps, illustrations, photographs, and diagrams, Siemens has an enviable command of language, thus permitting the lay reader easy and enjoyable access to the mysteries of what has so often been considered 'unfavourable', but after this re-reading turns out to be 'favourable': that is, flooded bottom-lands. At the end of the day, no preconceived view of the subject escapes Siemens' scalpel.

Easy to understand and with examples of situations not covered by other books!. A must read for the serious Feng Shui student.
