This book was everything I expected for a good book on the Vizsla breed. Tons of information on Vizslas. Nicely done.

This is a great book, full of information! It is very helpful for preparing for this breed.

There is no greater love than the love from a Vizsla. I own 2 boys, brothers, and this book is right on. My boys are very different exhibing different personality traits although they have the same parents, 1 litter apart from one another. A must read for anyone who is contemplating owning this very active, loving, tender, breed.

This book was highly recommended to me by a Vizsla dog breeder as the authority on raising and training your Vizsla. After reading the book I have to agree that this is an excellent book. It covers all aspects of the breed from birth to death. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in buying this lovely breed of dog or to anyone who is currently the owner of a Vizsla.

Vizslas are great dogs, but they have some unique characteristics, that you need to know about before owning one. I would highly recommend this to anyone considering buying a Vizsla or a new owner. I have made notes and noted page numbers and have referred to them often.

This book must be read by everyone! Tom & Birgit have creatively told a story that everyone will embrace and learn from. I thank them for defining the only way to live! Your life will change if you put these strategies into action!

Who Will Do What By When is a stellar little book with a BIG message we ALL need to hear and act on: Live in integrity and commitment and you'll achieve your every goal....it's that simple. Thank you Tom and Birgit for this easy but powerful read...a must for anyone who truly wants to go to the next level in life!

The Hanson's book is a great book for managers and team members. It focuses in on accountability, team playing and the importance of commitments. The book is a must read that applies to organizations big and small even to families. The authors offer many insights into interpersonal behavior and explain the need for clarity in communications as a way to help have expectations become realities. I would recommend this book to friends, family and colleagues.

Some books have a way of teaching important lessons in a pleasant and enjoyable manner, without judgment, while clarifying otherwise complex and disruptive issues, and this is one of those books!

In clear and simple language, with well illustrated examples, the authors demonstrate how the little things we overlook each day, compound until one day things go wrong. If we are not aware of these little things, we probably won't even know what happened.

By gently informing the reader of the subtle ways that we damage our lives, we feel like someone should have told us sooner!

I highly recommend this book for your personal life. If you read it for your business, you will enhance your business relationships. Virtually everyone in a business is accountable, and therefore they can benefit from this book. If you make it available to your key employees and sales teams, who probably have to meet many expectations, they will see the benefits.

This book allowed me to understand how damaging it is to not keep a promise. These things happen and when they do, the book clearly explains how to repair the damage. I was so impressed with this book that I have purchased copies for all of my employees and extras to give to special people as a gift. "Who Will Do What By When" is life changing. It very simply explains how to word requests such that everyone understands what they must do by when. This provides accountability. It is an exceptional book, easy to read and short.

This is one of the books mentioned in the book called The Well Read Witch. I am currently in the process of buying all of the books mentioned. This book should definetely be on any Witches list of must-reads!

After all, the title alone evokes poetry. And the book delivers. It is a book about how to explore your dreams, and it tells you how to figure out what your dreams mean to you, not what somebody else thinks they mean.

Also looks at dream magick.

As a psychology student and a Wiccan, this book is very helpful when it comes to unraveling the mystery of dreams. I was surprised to see some of the symbols and imagery that I had not thought of at all, and some of my dreams made total sense. Great book for beginners of dream analysis. The book is not a source for great detail, but is a great starting point.

Karri Allrich did a fantastic job with this book.

In the past, when I have tried to find a "dream book", all I could find were dictionaries, and that was great, but it seemed a little to simple, and at times, it was hard to figure out what my dreams actually meant.

With Karri Allrich's book, she explains symbols, how to start a dream jourmal, how to better understand nightmares, how to understand archetypes, anima, shadow work and much more.

She has studied dreams and archetypal symbology for over 25 years and heads up a dream circle. Her examples of dreams are real and her conclusions make a lot of sense.

If you are looking for a book on how to intrepret your dreams, pick up this one, as it is more thorough and covers more than every other book I have found out there.

This book explains dreams in a whole new way. The symbolism is alot more accurate than regular dream analysis books. The first chapter talks about archetypes, which is important to understand when you are decoding your dreams. It also gives general symbolism of dreams but what one person dreams may have a different meaning to them than to someone else. A great book to help understand your dreams better.

As someone who had a) never been able to remember his dreams, and b) never ascribed any importance or meaning to them, I was delighted to come across A Witches Book of Dreams. In her book, Ms. Allrich offers amazingly simple methods to help us remember dreams; convincing evidence that dreams are messages from our subconscious, clues and symbols that, when deciphered, allow us to better understand - and change - our behavior and therefore our lives; and a fascinating dream dictionary that serves as a flexible (rather than iron-clad) guide that enables us to translate the secret language of dreams. If you're a skeptic (as I was), read any of the dreams that Ms. Allrich relates and then interprets in a clear, compelling and insightful way, and I guarantee you'll be a convert! Highly recommended for anyone who is interested in developing a deeper, clearer understanding of him/herself - or who is just plain fascinated with dreams.

This book has the most awesome animal drawings I have ever seen. The fact that they are wood engravings is more than remarkable!

A present for my daughter-in-law and the illustrations were incredible. She is an artist and will make good use of this book.

Wow - the enormous numbers of animal life is astounding and the book clearly shows this. Unfortunately the images are quite dark and the book is very thick (you get your money's worth - image-wise), so scanning them for use in various artistic media is difficult. Therefore, I bought two of the books and plan to cut one of them up (that hurts to say for I treasure books of all types). This way I can control the scanning and modification using software to bring out details and highlight an image to my satisfaction. And finally, the classic images are impressive and I applaud the author for his selection of animals from all realms of life on earth.

Used several of these drawings in projects. Books like this are great for those of us designers who aren't the best freehand drawers.

This is just packed full of brilliant illustrations of birds frogs fish girafee spiders butterflies you name it , throughly recommended for any one who loves botanical illustrations or engravings , really good source material for artists or designers.very nice book but rember it is a paper back not that that matters to me.

This book is truly a timeless classic. I have been practicing yoga for almost six years, 1 to 4 times a day. I have many good books and DVDs on yoga. However, this book is THE most comprehensive.

I had joined a yoga studio for several months when I first began in January of 2003. The teacher taught the yoga using blocks, chair, belt and the wall. It was a good start and I attended for 4 months, two to three times a week. Whatever I learned I practiced at home, sometimes twice or more a day. Even after I discontinued class, I kept up my practice several times a day. I derived tremendous benefits from the practice. I was healed of several serious ailments, known and unknown.

I had been using the standard yoga books, such as "Light on Yoga" by BKS Iyengar, "30 Essential Yoga Poses" by Lasater, and many many others. Not to mention many DVDs by various people of repute. I found that despite my dedicated and persistent efforts I was not making headway in my ability to acquire the more advanced asanas. It seemed that there were groups of muscles in my body that would not open no matter how earnestly I applied myself.

Then I came across this book. Specifically the first three chapters. The asanas in the frist three chapters constitute the Pawanmuktasana series. I have practiced them for a week, twice a day. My body and mind seemed to have ascended into another realm. These seemingly simple asanas have a PROFOUND effect on one's being. I am at a complete loss to describe their wonderful and deep benefits. Practice of this series has done more for me in the last week than all the numerous benefits I derived through my practice over the last nearly 6 years.

I am at a total loss to explain why the Pawanmuktasana series has not been written of in other books of yoga! It is a VERY POWERFUL series to bring about a total change in the physiology and mental patterns of a person. If I had known about this series sooner I would have become a very advanced practitioner by now.

However, nothing is lost due to the delay! I only hope that people who find themselves stuck in their practice and unable to make gains, would read this review and start to practice the Pawanmuktasana series! I cannot sufficiently applaud its power and benefits.

Also to be noted is the fact that this classic text is put out by the Bihar School of Yoga founded by a great Sage -- Swami Satyananda Saraswati. This school is perhaps the only school in the world that grants degrees in yoga -- bachelors, masters and PhDs. They are in the forefront of the research being conducted in the healing of diseases through the various yogic practices. The body of knowledge that has accumulated since its founding in 1964 has found its way into the contents of this book as well. It is not a book just put together in an amateurish manner. It is LOADED and AUTHENTIC!

If one practices the seemingly simple Pawanmuktasana series alone for a fortnight, he or she will become a brand new person! One will be astonished by the transformative powers of this seemingly simple series of asanas. Since it is the tendancy of the mind to associate power with complexity, it is only natural to think of this seemingly simple series to be ineffective. You will be TRULY surprised!

The discovery of the Pawanmuktasana series is the greatest discovery of my entire yoga practice over the last six years! Such is its power!

They have the capacity to open up the body and allow the flow of energy through it like few other asana practices. Once these have been practiced for a long time, I believe the other asanas should come naturally. I cannot say for certain, since I have only practiced the Pawanmuktasana series for a week. However, by extrapolating along the gains I have made in this short duration the foregoing claim is likely to be true.

I think most people who practice yoga, do want to make progress at every stage. No one will be content to just stay at the same level year after year. If that is the case with you, then I strongly advise you to purchase this book and practice the three chapters on Pawanmuktasana in earnest.

I would also like to recommend a DVD, if I may, for the practice of Pawanmuktasana series. This DVD is "Yog Science Part 1 & 2 Pranayam & Yog Asan" by Swami Ramdev ji. It is available through Amazon and other dealers through Amazon's site. After practicing this series through the book or the DVD, I assure you your practice will improve by leaps and bounds.

My search for "THE" book and DVD on yoga has finally come to an end :-)

This book won't substitute for having a real teacher to help you learn yoga, but it is definitely an incredibly awesome reference to have.

This is the most complete book of yoga I have ever encountered. And it joins Erich Schiffmann's "Yoga -- The Spirit and Practice of Moving into Stillness" and Dr. Ray Long's "The Key Muscles of Hatha Yoga" on my 'Absolutely Indispensable' yoga book list. I have purchased three more copies -- as gifts and as an addition to our Yoga Teachers Association library. For teachers, it is an excellent reference book when planning a class (be it beginning, continuing or advanced). For students, it contains a wealth of information that I have not previously found in any single volume. Highly, highly recommended.

I have found no other book which is as practical, and gives so much insight into what is behind yogic philosophy

This is in my opinion one of the best books available on yoga. It covers the most basic techniques to some of the most advanced poses. I picked this book up about a week ago and have only gone though some of the basic poses but already I benefited. Throughly comprehensive and detailed, the pictures and instruction are clear and step by step. It also goes into detail on breathing techniques and other aspects of yoga. Certainly a must by in my opinion for anyone new to yoga or anyone who has been doing their own daily practice for while, this will add to it!

Stephen Arroyo has a beautiful and gentle way of connecting the study of astrology and life. This is a MUST have for all students of astrology to see and understand the unavoidable knocks on the door to transform our lives!

i am a novice at astrology. This book is not for the novice.It is too complicated for me. I wanted something simple and fun to read.

This book is an absolute must even for beginner astrologers as it covers the slow planets and their effects. The absolute best book I've ever read on the "heavies".

I have studied Astrology for almost 20 years. For a brief period at the peak of my studies I did practice Astrology and was working toward NCGR certification. I chose to put my energies into having a family, however, and put Astrology aside for awhile. I still use it as a tool and have come back to it in the last year. I thought I'd write some reviews on the many books i do own. As I clicked on this book (my favorite) I actually did a double take at Ms Gallanti's review written in 2003, thinking i ALREADY wrote it. Here's why: I too, have said many times over the years that "if I were asked to take only ONE Astrology book to a deserted island for the rest of my life, it would be Mr Arroyo's Astrology Karma & Transformation"!

Do not pass go, do not collect $200, just buy it, and I'll see y'all on that island someday!

Loved this book. Well written and comprehensive. Understandable and useful even for the non- astrolger. Tremendous insight.

This book has a beautiful exterior. You can feel the love Galen Gillotte must have for the Great Mother through these pages as you read the various prayers. A perfect guide for those who are just beginning and have trouble creating their own prayers or for anyone that is not great with memorizing prayers. Though I have been on the path for a while, I do like to open up this book and read one of Gillotte's prayers to the Maiden/Mother/Crone/etc every now and then. I usually rely on my own but this is a beautiful book.

If any wiccan or pagan wants to do any kind of prayer...you might as well do it right the first time. Also, get the prayer to the Goddess..the 2nd book of this book.

Llewellyn has outdone themselves with the presentation of this book. It comes in a hardcover edition with lovely gold cover writing and a ribbon marker. It looks like a book to treasure and leave by the altar, which is exactly what I do.

After such a spectacular outside, the inside doesn't disappoint. There are 3 prayers for every day of the week (Morning, Evening, and Night) and 3 prayers (likewise Morning, Evening, and Night) for each Sabbat. She even includes 3 daily prayers for each moon phase. Galen Gillotte has an absolutely amazing way with words. Even the introductions to the sections roll beautifully. As for the prayers themselves, I have found spiritual insight in every single one, and I find it comforting and relaxing to make time every day for prayer. Using this book, I definitely feel like my spiritual practices have been kicked up a notch.

You might think "3 prayers a day! No one has time for that!" but really it only takes a few minutes for each one, and the result is a closer connection to the divine. If you want to add daily prayed to your spiritual practices, then this is the book to have! I highly recommend it for pagans and those exploring Goddess spirituality. Both beginners and the highly advanced can get something out of this book.

While I really enjoy this book, and think that the prayers included are wonderful expressions of the masculine side of pagan spirituality, I personally liked the organization of the second book, Prayers to the Goddess, better.

If any wiccan or pagan wants to do any kind of prayer...you might as well do it right the first time. Also, get the prayer to the gods..the 2nd book of this book.

Thunder the leader of the unicorn herd is defeated in combat, and banned from the herd, along with his wife Nova. But his opponent used poison to win the battle, and it is up to Helaine, Pixel, and Score to help Thunder get back his rightful place as the leader of the unicorn herd. The twists and turns that follow make this fourth book of the Diadem series well worth the read.

My son, who is definately not a reader, loves this series. It took me 10 years, but I finally found something he enjoys reading!!!

Peel takes the kids on a mystical magical adventure with Unicorns. Best book of the entire series, the magical unicorns are actually fun the way they are written, very human. The kids in the book are working together very well, and care about each other.

the fact the this series was written was great pleasure. I was able to read 1-6 and they were a great experence to the imagination. This is one of the best I have read in my life. If you like fantasy, mystery, and tons of mistical creature this is your type of series.

If you want to know the truth, I'd give this book 100 stars but 5 was the maximum. Not only Diadem Book Of Thunder was amazing, but the rest of the Diadem books as well. Magic is everywhere with exciting events, and hold onto your seat, because you're not only going to another world, you're going to another universe! Our three completly differen't companions learn to combine their power, and become unstoppable. I suggest this book to anyone who's ready for the chill and the thrill.

I have been a shell collector for more than 25 years and along this years, this is the first time that I get such an interesting, well-documented, beautyfully illustrated and skillfully designed book on this subject. I am very happy with this purchase. The book has 411 pages with information and has about 12 photographs in each page giving a perfect appreciation of thousands of shells from everywhere. Each photo includes the common name (obviously valid in English speaking countries only), the scientific name, average length of adults (in centimeters and inches), brief information of geographical distribution and synonym names. Oh!, I almost forget to say that the authors,R. Tucker Abbott and S. Peter Dance are two famous conchologists leading this field of science for many, many years. So, this book informs, teaches and makes it very funny to learn and investigate in the universe of shells. "Bon apetit", collectors!!!

I had an earlier printing of this book (1983) and was disappointed to find that the 2000 edition I just purchased was virtually identical apart from a page of corrections at the end which would be much more useful if incorporated into the text. I feel that this excellent book needs updating to keep it as the No 1 general book on seashell identification.

This book is very informative and descriptive if you're looking to collect exotic shells from different parts of the world.

I have been a shell collector for a very long time now. This is now my second copy of this book, as I have worn the first copy out. It is the most comprehensive identifier book around. The color photos are excellent, and the amount of species depicted is impressive! This book, along with Jerome M. Eisenberg's A Collectors Guide to the Sea Shells of the World, are probably the only two books on Sea Shells, a novice collector will ever need. The serious collector will also benefit from these books as well.

This is a great book which hv given me alot of info, but still can upgrate by increase more pictures & decription for seashells of the world.

This book is the best Witchy cookbook I have found. I've looked through many of them, only to be disappointed. Most of the Witch cookbooks out now, are redundant, full of the same old Wicca 101 dogma. . .not so with Cooking by Moonlight. I found this book to be really FUN! Allrich sets the mood with chapters on Love and Practical Magic, Using herbs and spices magically, and Lunar lessons. . .then goes on to present some DELICIOUS recipes! Every dish I have made from her recipes has been wonderful, and enjoyed by my entire family, kids included. I have many Wiccan, and "Witchy" cookbooks...this one tops my list by FAR!

Advice on what to keep stocked in your kitchen, as well as attributes of various 'love foods', which foods are best to eat under which moon and season, and why. Excellent recipies, most of the ones with meat ingredients have vegetarian alternatives, which, being a vegetarian, I consider very thoughtful.

I do own a few cookbooks, but they're quite dusty, as I don't generally cook. I've got a few recipies and things I know how to assemble, but that number doesn't top a dozen. And half of them simply require adding milk to a package of dried flakey bits. If it can't be made in 10 minutes or less I dunno how. But a cookbook was sent with a neo-pagan spin, and how could I resist giving it a go?

I made the Cinnamon Zucchini Bread (pg. 117), the ingredients were simple enough, but I had no idea what it meant to 'fold in the zucchini', I called my sister who is a baker, and she told me, thinking I was an idiot for not immediately understanding. This easily could have been idiocy on my part, but an apendix of 'Baking Terms for Dummies' would have been helpful. At any rate, the bread turned out to be absolutely delicious.

Very Gooddess-centric (there is little mention of the God throughout this book) it contains many references to 'Wise Woman' (though none to Cunning Man), this is a cookbook clearly meant for women. Though I'm sure both sexes will appreciate the tastey recipies found within, however it would have been nice to see a bit more of a nod to the fellas. That, and a gloassary would be my only complaints, otherwise it's a delightful book, an excellent addition to the library of any kitchen witch.

I was very fortunate to receive this book as a gift by someone who shares my interests and tastes. I especially loved the chapter on Love Foods and Practical Magic. The author has a wonderful way with words and a true connection with the power of foods.
The recipes are both creative and delicious, with Coconut Whipped Winter Squash and Flourless Dark Night Cake being my favorites of the ones I have tried thus far.
There are so many heavenly recipes in this book I am undecided which to try next.

Karri Ann Allrich does it again in this new cookbook, Cooking By Moonlight.

In this book, she explains what foods, herbs and spices should be eaten with each lunar phase as well as which season, and provides details why these food items are so important to us physically and spiritually, as well as why each lunar phase is so important to us as well.

She includes a dictionary that gives explanation to the meaning behind each food item, plus ways in which to utilize them.
The book includes ideas on how to stock your pantry, which is extremely useful if you are new to cooking on a regular basis, or if you are trying to eat healthier as one will if you use this book.

She also offers menu ideas for each moon, and describes the meaning behind that lunar month.

She also clarifies how we should listen to out bodies as to what they need. The manner in which she described this made so much sense to me, it made me feel better about my body size and shape.

Her recipes are easy to read, effortless to prepare and delicious to eat. Examples of some of the delectable dishes you too can enjoy from this book are: Santa Fe Rice, Grapefruit and Spinach Salad, Balsamic Roasted Chicken With Peppers, Chilled Cucumber Soup, and Strawberry Snow.

This cookbook was so good, I also recommend Karri Allrich�s new cookbook entitled: "Cooking by the Seasons".

LOVE this book!! The blessings are very nice, and I like how she explains the concept of seasonal eating, and how different foods are complimentary to the seasons. This information goes well with her other book 'Cooking By the Seasons', which I also highly recommend.

My favorite recipes are: chilled roasted red pepper soup, chilled avacado soup with lime, savory muffins, balsamic roasted chicken with peppers (this one is DIVINE!), crabmeat enchiladas (not authentic Mexican food, but not meant to be; VERY good!), and lemon herb cookies, pumpkin cheesecake (yummy!). Like her other cook book, the recipes are exotic enough to be exciting, but not so exotic that it's hard to find the ingredients. Unlike her other cook book, this one is NOT vegetarian.

If you are a Pagan, then you will probably love this book. If you are not, then you should try to look past the things that you don't like and go straight to the recipes. They are worth any skimming you might have to do.
