PLANETS IN TRANSIT by Robert Hand is THE OPUS reference for both natal aspects and regular transits. I've used this volume so much I am on my third copy. This is the one book I include with each of my new astrology portfolios for new clients.

This book is the bomb. I use it to read descriptions for transits on the go or at home. It's very cohesive and I love that it's printed like a dictionary so that you can thumb straight to a planet in the same way you would if you were looking up something under "A" or "B" in the dictionary.

It also has aspects to the Midheaven and Ascendant! a must-have for any aspiring astrologer...

Had Gotten this Many Years Ago in conjunction with the 2000 Ephemeris Book and A Few Books That Explain The Intricracy of Astrology Reading[Natal Chart Interpretation]. Found this to be more elaborate in regards to each planet 'placement' or transit; however, rather than stick with one point of view, always search for different perspective(s) from different authors. Truth comes from many angles than just one.

Planets in Transit is a must for both professional astrologers and lay people. It contains explanations of transits and basic astrological knowledge. I recommend it for anyone interested in transit astrology.

The best on transits there is! Couldn't live without it! I use it myself and recommend it to all my students.

I love the artwork in this book! I bought this as a gift for my little sister and had great fun searching the beautiful artwork for hidden animals. Once you find them all there is a final word puzzle in the back of the book. Very fun.

I bought the book for my grandchildren after having purchased "The Chicken That Could Swim" and loving it. The puzzles and illustrations in Puzzle Island are absolutely amazing! The whole family (mom, dad, grandparents, grandchildren (ages 4-9), aunt and uncle was involved in figuring out the names of the animals as well as looking for the animals in the pictures. After about 2 months, working on it at least once a week, we finished the book, solved all the puzzles and found all the animals. What is so amazing is that as you read the story you don't even realize all that is hidden on the pages. We loved it and can't wait to get another Paul Adshead book.

After going through several boxes in my garage, I finally found this book. I've had it for over 10 years and still am amazed how great this book is. It still grabs my attention and it doesn't matter that I remember the answer, I love looking at the pictures and solving the puzzles all over again. I can't wait for my son to enjoy this as well! I recommend this book to everyone out there!

abslutely wonderfol book. Me(8) my sister(11) and my brother(12) have almost finished it. We have been doing it since yesterday and are very very excited about finishing it. It has kept us puzzled scince! If I could I would rate it 20 stars!!!!!!

Everyone seems to have a problem finding the fourth animal in Lily's Pond. But I have found it! Unscrambling AGILNRST gives the bird STARLING. It is very difficult to find but once you see it, it is very clear. It is at the top right hand side of the page directly below the letter S and the missing P of the frame. It is one of the leaves of the tree. The head is directly below the missing P and the tail is below the S and below another leaf. You have to flip the page upside down to see it. Hopefully this helps you all sleep better tonight!

I have met Jeffrey Zeldman at WebBuilder 2002 in Las Vegas and he gave me a copy of this book. Although the audience of the book is "traditional" designers and my background is more of a technical one, I still found it extremely useful.

Zeldman writes in a very light tone, which makes reading the book very easy and enjoyable.

This book gives a good overview of Web Design till 2001.
People who are interested in where the web is coming from will like this book. If your are looking for how web design is done today anno 2005 I would like to recommend Jeffrey Zeldman book "Designing with web standards".

Even though some of the content in this book is outdated (such is the nature of a book based on the internet, which evolves daily), it is still a mainstay in my collection. I would recommend this book to anyone even remotely interested in web design.

Jefferey Zeldman teaches basic, foundation building principles that you will use almost daily during your tenure as a web designer. If your looking for a book to hold you by the hand and teach you how to perform specific actions with step by step coding, this isn't your book. Instead, it touches upon ideas and methods. Zeldman covers topics from designing good navigation to fundamental steps in working with a potential client.

I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars. It would have received a perfect score if it wasn't for some outdated material. Purchase this book, it should be a part of any collection.

A thorough, comprehensive and usable book for people trying to migrate from traditional media into the (sometimes) scary world of new media.

Jeffrey Zeldman's unique voice permeates the entire book, holds your hand, and gently guides you through the ups & downs of working with the web. His examples are concise and to the point, his writing style (as always) humorous and friendly, and, most importantly, you get the feeling that he truly loves this medium, and would like nothing more than being able to help another person discover just what the fuss is all about.

Should be on the shelf of every designer - no matter what your level of experience is.

This book opened my eyes to issues such as accesibilty, css and xhtml, I now have a site that is fast to load and easy to update. I found this book to be an easy read,[ I am neither a graphic designer nor a trained web designer] I really like Zeldman's writng style and will use some of his points in my classes web design for photographers. The mix of code and ideas was great and for once I just read the book rather than being tempted into turning on my computer and starting work.

I loved it!!!!!!! It talks about what others are afraid of, i think we need more books about the subject, two thumbs up!!!

This isn't witchcraft, it's African American Hoodoo. There's a HUGE difference. While much of it is quite good (good meaning accurate as far as formulations go), it is also lacking in some areas. If you're interested in learning true African American Hoodoo, try Catherine Yronwode. She's the tops in her field.

Nothing 'whitesy lightsy' here (to borrow from Ms. Morrison). In fact, she has burst through the door with guns blazing on this one. Sometimes (a lot of times) nice just doesn't cut it and when a sounding kick in the...'pants' is called for, and you are not an old broad (or guy) that is not afraid of being "that which goes bump in the night," well here you go. In fact, going back and buying a copy for my daughter's personal library.

Fire burn and cauldron bubble! This book is not for the fluffy bunnies, or the faint at heart. No, this is for those of us that have graduated and are no longer in the kiddie pool (i admit, i was once there). I reccomend this book for anyone interested in engaging in serious magickal warfare, and not taking anyones crap anymore, or for those that want to kick their magick up a notch.

This book is great. It gives you all sorts of insights into the otherside of witchcraft. Gives you everything you need to cruses, hexes, your own protection, the only time these should be use, ect. It is a great addition to your library even if you don't use any of the spells. Has great ideas for protecting yourself and home from curses, and hexes and the like also. It is written with a nice hummor and easy to read and understand. Also gives you great ideas about even spirit communication, and visiting cemetaries. I highly reccommend it.

This book was wonderful. I have never read anything by this Author but I am so pleased with her writing I will now fill my book collection with all her wonderful stories. Enjoyed it so much!

I first read this series many years ago and fell in love with Ms. Blackwell's stories. I say I "first read" it because I've actually read this whole series at least three times (obviously it's my favorite one, so far), and I still laugh out loud and enjoy it as much as the first time! I've lent the book to my daughter and to all of my friends who like historical Christian fiction, and they adore them as well. Ms. Blackwell, I would LOVE to see the Gresham Chronicles done up into movies! They remind me of Anne of Green Gables with their country charm and wonderful character development! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was the second of Lawana Blackwell's books that I read, giving me a glimpse of how consistently good she is. Since then, I have read everything she has written (I just bought Table by the Window) and can't get enough of them. The Widow of Larkspur Inn was especially endearing because of the people Blackwell incorporated into the story. Gresham is a place where I think all of us would like to live, surrounded by loving (and sometimes quirky) people who enrich lives with their humor and spirit. I believe that some of the Blackwell's strongest characters reside in Gresham; people who are unique and carry the story all the way to the last page. Just realize that you may want to order the next two books in the series before you finish this one...that way you can move right on into the next part of the Gresham Chronicles.

This book was really wonderful. The main character, Julia Hollis had so much strength, faith, hope and love. Julia was married to Phillip, who had hidden his love of gambling. She was forced out of her home when Phillip died because of his gambling debts. She moves her family (3 children and her maid/friend) to Gresham to the Larkspur Inn. The Larkspur Inn was the only property of her husbands that the Bank didn't want. She returns the Larkspur Inn back into the beautiful Inn it was in its glory days. Lawanna Blackwell makes you feel as if you are there in Gresham and all the tenants and the owner and her family are your friends! She meets the vicar, Andrew Phelps, whom she forms a friendship with. I can't tell you what happens with the rest of their lives, because it would spoil the book. Do yourself a favor and pick up this book and enjoy! I loved this book so much, I just ordered the other two in this series!!

I just love this series. I've read it many times and decided to purchase it off Amazon for my own. Lawana Blackwell has a unique style of writing that makes you feel like you are actually in the time period. Her other books are great as well. Check them out.

This Bible is absolutely wonderful. At the start of each book it tells who wrote the book if known and why the book is important. The text is written in plain English much easier for kids to understand (and myself). There are side texts with sugessted activities and additional explanation of significant stories. I LOVE this Bible - this is the one I read personally now myself and I don't know how I would get through Bible School without it!

Adventure Bible, Revised, NIV This book arrived in exellent condition. It was exactly what I was looking for.
The 7 Day Mental Diet This book arrived in excellent condition. It was exactly what I was looking for.

I received book in excellent condition, a lot faster than I expected (within days). My son loves it!

Love the historical/background information. This is a good resource for helping today's kids identify with the Bible's historical figures, cultures, and lessons. Without completely altering the poetic language, it offers activities and ideas to improve comprehension and help children see the relevance of the text to their own lives.

I purchased this as a first bible for my 6 year old son. There are bursts of fast facts and passages paraphrased to make it easier for browsing. My son enjoys reading these and even for adults like myself, the background informations are helpful.
The generous amount of illustrations captures his attention and aids in his comprehension of certain passages of the bible.
I can surely say this is the best thing I've bought for my son.

I hated to get to the last page of this book because I had become so very fond of the author. Some people might not like him. Some might say he seemed at times arrogant or haughty. He might have laughed at the accusation and even agreed as he did not consider himself to be charming. But most of us are charmed, none the less. I am an animal lover, but I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys making the acquantances of strong characters who are a just little bit different. And what would he say of us? Likely that all of his reviewers are normal, but some are more normal than others. Myself included.

I wish my cats had such a wonderful vet.

Kind of like an "All Creatures Great and Small" about cats in the city.

This collection of wonderful true stories written by a New York City Vet specializing in cats tells of his heartwarming and entertaining experiences with his patients and their owners.

If you love cats, you will love this book.

With a bit of pathos mixed in (the Missing Cat)

I would have LOVED to make those rounds with him!!

Dr Camuti was a doctor with a caring Heart and Soul and had a special bond with those animals he loved and cared for.

A wonderful book!!

I had heard about Louis J. Camuti through my membership in the Cornell Feline Health Center. This story about Dr. Camuti's experiences as a NYC vet providing house calls for his feline patients is thoroughly engaging. The stories have a timeless appeal to those of us who are 'owned' by our cats.

A vet who specializes in house calls for cats from the 1940's through the 80's writes in a witting and engaging way, telling charming stories about the cats (and people) he treated over the years. A pleasant read.

I love the receipes in the book. The only thing I have a problem with is that the book states that "No more weighing", however it does not explain what an actual serving size is, it mentions briefly that you can weigh your food to get an idea of what a serving is, and then use your judgement from then on. Well, being someone that is over weight and has a problem with determining what an actual serving is poses a HUGE problem. That would mean, I WOULD have to weigh my food to figure out whether I am eating a serving or more. The title of the book is misleading, as well as the excerpts on the back and front cover.

I bought this cookbook back in 1993 and have been using the recipes in it ever since. I get so many requests for the recipes I've made from it I have bought extra cookbooks to give out to people as gifts. The title is deceiving because it doesn't seem like those bland old diet cookbooks that you usually get. I lost the weight that I wanted to lose and have maintained my weight by keeping these recipes on hand. Also, I love that the cookbook has a picture for every recipe which is rare in most cookbooks. As stated earlier in someones comments about the serving size......It states how many servings the recipe makes they just figure you can divide equally.

Very easy transaction -- price was great -- shipping to a friend's address went off without a hitch. Hightly recommend.

I loved the pictures! I own alot of cookbooks, and this one has fast become my favorite. I liked the Classics section as well as the easy-to-understand calorie needs/bmi explanation in the front of the book and the 14-day menu planner. It contains good old fashioned dinners as well as easy gourmet-type delights. My husband is excited about this too! My whole family will enjoy losing weight while eating great tasting food without feeling they are on a diet!

My husband and I lost a total of 100 pounds in 5 months by using the delicious recipes in this book. The food is tasty, easy to prepare, and satisfying. The variety of foods from the traditional to the more exotic or ethnic gives the range of choice often missing in "diet" books. I have purchased this book as a gift for several friends who have also found it enjoyable.

This book has a great hook and pulls you right in. I enjoyed much of it. However, in some places, the writing was a little confusing. The characters, in general, are interesting and well drawn. The little neighbor girl is a kick, the way the lawyer chooses her clothes and her witnesses was good. I wasn't sure I fully understood the villain and some of the jumps in the plot were a little abrupt. I do recommend this as a good read for sometime when you just want to kick back and suspend disbelief.

With Jackie Flowers still my all-time favorite lawyer-detective, I found myself enthralled with this surprisingly deceptive thriller, even as I was enamored of its travelogue wonder, taking me from Colorado's Eastern Plains to the Rocky Mountain state's most riveting wild lands and canyons.

This was not only a delightfully beguiling mystery, plumbing human nature and the depths of people's souls, but also a veritable visit home to the land where I once lived.

Kane's writing is pure and true, unveiling the complexities of the heart and of the Rocky Mountains with a straight eye and real knowledge.

Stephanie Kane is a master, especially for a first book! She held my interest completely through the entire book. Having lived in Denver, it was great being able to actually identify authentic landmarks and street names. It made me keep reminding myself this was ficton! I couldn't figure out who the murderer was until Stephanie told us at the very end. She kept pointing to so many different possibilities that it was a challenge to try figure it out before the end of the book.

I'm now involved in Quiet Time and am looking forward to her next installment.

Bravo, Stephanie!

When I read the book "Blind Spot" I saw it as a movie. Stephanie Kane's book is one of those fiction books I actually enjoy reading because I can visualize it. Some fiction books have too much written descriptions and I end up losing my train of thought because they don't leave enough room for my own imagination to take over. I really like the way she writes fiction.

It's great to see a fiction book that has a message to those who read it about people with learning disabilities. The best thing is, she is able to write it in a way that captures the readers attention by making it exciting to read. It's a thriller with many hidden messages. The characters are more like real people than fictional characters. Read it and find out for yourself what those messages are! It's a great book. I'd like to see it as a movie someday.

Criminal Defense Attorney Stephanie Kane's debut work is a gripping psycho-legal thriller of the first order, combining the better elements of Lisa Scottoline's legal thriller work & the psychological thriller works of James Patterson.

I was rooted to Blind Spot, right from the first page itself, & as a practicing lawyer, if there is one thing that I have found most impressive in this work, is the total down-to-earth & realistic portrayal of life in the courtroom.

Criminal Defense Attorney Jackie Flowers' life-long wish to work a high-profile murder case, seems fulfilled when she is assigned the task of defending Aaron Best for the murder a multi-millionaire's former wife.

Opposing counsel is the ambitious District Attorney, whose only consideration is to use the case as a vehicle for promoting his political future.

As Jackie's investigation uncovers a series of killings, she realizes that a serial killer is on the prowl, & that she herself could be the killer's next target. What follows is heavy & absorbing courtroom action, with a stunning twist in the tale's tail.

The protagonist, dyslexic criminal defender Jackie Flowers, is one heroine who will linger in our minds for a long time - the manner in which she uses her handicap (dyslexia) to her advantage, makes for a uniquely interesting read.

Psycho-legal thrillers are only a few in number, & save for Wild Justice by Phillip Margolin, or The Letter of the Law by Tim Green, this sub-sub-genre in the Mystery zone, has remained unexploited. It is here that Stephanie Kane steps in & delivers a splendid page-turner.

Blind Spot offers chilling suspense & a topnotch nail-biter. I will want to re-read it. The blurb on the cover announces that Stephanie Kane is all set to publish her next work Quiet Time, & I unquietly await the same!

I enjoy reading this version of the Bible. It offers so much comentary. I am using it for school work so I appreciate the speedy service and delivery.

The thumb indexes are very helpful in finding Chapters easily. The Life Principles included in the Bible are a real plus. The highlites in blue of significant passages are helpful. The other markings by passages are nice to note also. Very satisfied.

This Bible is an accurate transletion. Also, Dr. Stanley has included his extremely helpful imput, to help explain confusing passager. Highly reccomended!

I have about six Study Bibles in my library, including John MacArthur's Study Bible, but without a shadow of doubt, this one is the best I have found yet! Due to failing eyesight, I could do with a better and larger font size, and the pages are a bit on the thin side. However the content and article layout is superb, and is written by a man endowed with wisdom and "power from on high"! Charles Stanley is a man after my own heart and is a true Bible teacher. He covers the whole spectrum of Biblical doctrine, not sparing any Charismatic/Pentecostal standpoint. He truly does do justice to Psalm 119:160--"The entirety of Your word is truth, and everyone of your righteous judgments endures forever."
A superb aquisition for any Christian of any age.

I had a feeling I would not be disappointed with this Bible after knowing who the author was. Charles Stanley has a wonderful way of putting things into todays perspective. I would recommend this bible to anyone at any stage of their christian walk and also any age.
