I am looking for someone that knows something about old books like the home garden handbook published in 1927

This book is amazing. It excels (no pun intended) not just in showing solutions, but even more important, it provides concepts and a way of thinking about solving Excel problems.
If there is one book about Excel that I recommend reading cover to cover, this is it. Even though it covers Excel 95, it is now, 10 years later, still actual.

One of the excellent book of Excel. However it is out of stock. I lent it from the library and can't find it from any book store. I hope the publisher will re-printed it.

This book doesn't deal the basics. It gives you everthing about advanced options and solution strategies. The cd-rom is very good, with many excersises and solutions. I wanted to have read this book earlier.

I am a heavy duty user of Excel and I support users of the application too. This is one of the best books I have seen on Excel's most powerful features. The chapters on array formulas and range names are the best I have read on the subject. This book is outstanding. I am here writing this review because I was hoping to order a copy for work.

This is an awesome little book on herbs and spices.Not only does it describe the history and status of the herb,it also has a recipe for each spice and herb presented.It also lists the scientific nomenclature for each as well as the various ethnocentric names,from around the world.Caveat emptor is cautioned and serving suggestions advised.There is even a small addendum of 'Spice mixtures' added,at the closing of the book.In medii rebus,there is a helpful visual photo presentation of the herbs and spices discussed.This spice book will awaken your dishes and best promotes rejuvenescene,much better than the modern artificial additives.

the book was very easy to read, had a lot of information in it.

Part of a series which also includes guides to Produce, Meat, Cocktails and Stains, this useful and attractive little book contains a wealth of information on herbs from Angelica to Wild Lime Leaf and spices from Ajwain to Wasabi.

Set up like a field guide - with color plates in the center, along with the guide to the icons - each entry includes Other Names, General Description, Season, Purchase and Avoid, Storage, and Recipe.

Anyone who glances at this will find a place for it on the kitchen shelf. The recipes alone are likely to win you over, from Creole Mustard Sauce (mustard seed), Carrot Currant Salad (rosemary) and Veal with Myrtle. For those who want to try Shrimp with Calamint, say, or Indian Naan with Negella Seeds, online sources are listed at the back of the book.

The entries themselves are packed with information from origins and history to special preparations and seasonal considerations. A truly terrific little book.

This is a very nice book and especially so for visual people.

My favorite feature of this guide is the flavor affinities list for each item. The affinities list helps with menu planning and gives you more options for the spice or herb's use. The fact that this book has actual recipes rather than serving suggestions is a bonus. I have a couple of other herb/spice guides, but am most taken with this one.

This book is great as an introduction to the major concepts of finance. If you are looking for an advanced refernce book, this is not the one. But if you want to refresh your memory, or want a quick overview of concepts and methods, I can't think of a better book.

Every business owner, executive, accountant, banker and maybe even your lawyer should have this valuable book on their desktop! The authors demystify the art of finance and suggest pragmatic approaches and solutions for every day capital uses and needs. This attractive and attractively priced book is written in an innovative way, making it a useful quick desktop reference as well as an MBA level finance text. The glossary by itself is worth the price of the book. How astounding that the authors are both French, yet write with more clarity in English than any American finance writer I have read of late! Vive la readability!

This is an exceptionally clear book that provides an up-to-date treatment of Corporate Finance that is accessible and practical. A must have!

In my humble opinion ,this maybe one of the best books of Finance... It is practical,direct to the point,the examples are clearly stated so that you can follow the concepts and central ideas and most important : you really can understand everything in an easy way....no sweat here..
You can apply almost everything in this book to your daily practice. No matter your years of experience , FFE will refresh you and reinforce your knowledge. I always have this book on my desk for reference.

‚Finance for Executives' is invaluable for everybody who needs to analyse companies and wants to know whether investment, financing or business decisions create value. It is written very clearly and is therefore easy to understand. It offers plenty of practically relevant examples, mostly based on one company which is being analysed in its different aspects throughout the whole book. Moreover, every chapter finishes with review problems (including solutions) and useful references. Some chapters offer appendices with mathematical proofs or additional in-depth analysis. - You will not be satisfied with this book if you are looking for a scientific, theoretical text. However, your expectations will be exceeded if you are a practitioner who wants to make an impact in a consulting or investment banking environment. - What does make this book so special? After working through it, you will be able to easily put into practice what you read.

Hal Glatzer's Fugue In Hell's Kitchen provides a new Katy Green mystery. Katy is no ordinary P.I.: she's a swing violinist in 1939 who helps a friend search for a missing classical manuscript - only to find an investigation into petty theft becomes a fight for life. Gripping, especially with the unusual plot and background setting.

I only wish I were Katy Green! She's the woman I always pictured myself being, but haven't yet become. I love the way she comes at the crime and the criminal---not to punish or exact revenge or retribution but to restore the balance of things. And the author seems to have gotten the period and the location just right---New York's Hell's Kitchen just before World War II. You can almost hear the El and smell the exhaust from the cars. I thought the first Katy Green was terrific ("Too Dead To Swing"). but this one is closer to home.

The more I read about Katy Green, the more I wish she was a real person! She's just the sort of person I'd like to know and share musical tales with. The time in which she lives is a bit before mine, unfortunately (I was still in my crib) but still - she's definitely a lady of her time.

Katy is bright and funny and smart and thrifty, and above all--a very talented musician, who can look beyond the notes on the page to pay attention to the world around her. And if that world includes good looking young men, well, why not? She isn't foolish about it, though, which is a good thing.

This tale is set slightly prior to the first book - Too Dead to Swing - so we learn how Katy ended up traveling in that swing band. As a classically-trained musician, she is somewhat of a rarity, being equally capable on violin or saxophone. The period details about New York City in the late 1930s seem right on, although not having been there at that time I can't say for certain. But I'll bet anyone who did live then would be hard put to disprove them, either.

Prejudice rears its ugly head in several ways in this engrossing mystery: it's just prior to WWII, when Oriental persons were looked at in different ways than they are now, and the migration of Southern Blacks to the North was in full flow. Add in a religious young woman from Appalachia, and you have a wonderfully mixed group of talented musicians who are not always capable of seeing beyond their music stands.

Katy follows various threads with the help of a newspaper reporter and finds the solution to several crimes, not just the one she was asked to investigate--the theft of an autograph manscript by the famous Niccolò Paganini. It's a marvelous performance, all around. I'm off to read her next adventure.

It's 1939 in Hell's Kitchen, a New York City neighborhood where even plucky heroines, like Hal Glatzer's Katy Green, fear to venture. Gangs rule the streets, and World War II lurks around the corner. As the Great Depression hangs on, musicians, like Katy Green, conservatory and bandstand trained, scramble for any kind of gig they can get. A couple of bodies turn up at a failing music academy, a pal on the faculty is accused of stealing an original Paganini manuscript, and Katy rushes in to settle scores. Her investigation is well paced, and the ending surprises. Glatzer projects as detailed a rendition of the pre-war era as any cinematographer, with authentic language, cuisine, fashion, sexual mores, and race relations, against the ever-changing backdrop of New York. A Fugue in Hell's Kitchen is time travel without the sugarcoated nostalgia. Yet, traditional mystery readers will be glad to know there's little violence or sexual explicitness. A Fugue in Hell's Kitchen should appeal to anyone who likes jazz or classical music. Like Too Dead To Swing, the first in the Katy Green series, an audio version of A Fugue in Hell's Kitchen will soon be produced. The audio of Too Dead To Swing featured fine music and brilliant actors. What fun! I can't wait to hear the audio version of A Fugue in Hell's Kitchen. But definitely read it first.

In 1939 swing violinist Katy Green is as usual unemployed and walking the pavement (and clubs) for a job. Though she would prefer to say no to her pal cellist Amalia "Am" Lee Chen's request for help, a gig is a gig, but Katy would have preferred a musical job. Instead Am asks Katy to find a priceless Paganini manuscript stolen from her cello case following a performance performed at the prestigious Meyers Conservatory.

Though Katy agrees, she finds the recent death of the conservatory's dean, Iris Meyers a bit more interesting. Katy notices the high note of the tension amidst the faculty reaching discord that along with the disastrous efforts of the deceased's successor, her brother Joseph, threatens the school's existence. .A forgery of the missing composition is returned to Am that leads to the police arresting her for stealing the manuscript. Now the case is personal as Katy follows the musical notes to Harlem trying to find the purloined item even as the conservatory's librarian, know it all, Nina Rovere is killed

Hal Glazer hits all the high notes with this delightful historical cozy that pays homage to various musical styles like swing. Katy is a wonderful lead performer who keeps the tale humming as she digs the scene in an attempt to prove that the arrest of Am is racial due to the imminent war and her friend being of Asiatic descent. Fans of historical who-done-its starring a wonderful amateur sleuth working the mean streets of the Manhattan club scene will sing in harmony with FUGUE IN HELL'S KITCHEN and want to resonate about Katy's previous number, TOO DEAD TO SWING.

Hi, I am ten years old and I think that this book, Gaia Girls Way of Water was a GREAT book. It is the second book in the seires. It's about a girl who has to learn a lot. Like how to speak a whole different language! She also makes a couple of friends who teach her much. I really liked this book. But I think you should read the first one first! It is called Gaia Girls Enter the Earth. So if you like adventure books like Harry Potter and Warriors and other books that have to do with fiction and animals you will certainly like this one!!! :)

This is the mom of a 10 year old. She's dictating to me. I think Gaia Girls is amazing and made me look at the world in a whole different (positive) way! James Taylor is one of my favorite song writers and this really made me think about his song "Gaia." I can't wait for more!!!!

Gaia Girls Way of Water is better than book I. It's hard for me to say that because I loved the first book so much. Book series can be scary, if you like them you want them to get better and Book II does not disappoint. Way of Water is a beautifully crafted tale about a Gaia Girl and her "fish out of water" adventures in Japan. The characters were believable and 'real' the ECO issue was powerful and heart breaking. The series just leaves you wanting MORE. That is my only complaint, the next one is NOT out yet.

Author Lee Welles set herself a daunting task with her second book, "Gaia Girls: Way of Water." Her first book in the series, "Gaia Girls: Enter the Earth", won the National Outdoor Book Award and the iParenting Media Award, garnered critical acclaim, and brought her invitations for book signings at schools, libraries, and fairs across the country. That's a hard act to follow, even for a seasoned author, but "Enter the Earth" was Welles' first book.

Furthermore, in writing "Enter the Earth", Lee drew from her own experiences, growing up on a farm in upstate New York. In "Way of Water", the main character, Miho, is an American-Japanese girl who has spent her entire life traveling to Pacific Ocean ports with her whale-observing parents, while the book itself mostly takes place in Japan, where Miho must go to live when the sea claims the lives of her parents. In choosing this premise and this setting for her second story in this series, Welles breaks one of the oldest guidelines for writers - "Write what you know."

The large focus on Japan works for Welles, though, in part because Miho has never before been to Japan. Though her mother was Japanese, and she knows a little of Japanese language and culture, Miho's culture shock and her feelings of being an outsider with much to learn helps the reader identify with Miho, and gives the book a much deeper ring of truth than if Welles had tried to write Japan from an inside perspective. And, as the author confesses in her blog at [...], she had to do "massive amounts of research." As Miho adjusts to the sudden, difficult changes in her life, I found her a believable, fully-developed character with whom I could easily sympathize - a heroine, in fact, who bravely deals with the death of her parents, the move to a new country and culture, and the fantastical experience of meeting a talking otter!

With the Gaia Girls series, the fantastic blends quite well into the normal experiences in the lives of the girls around whom each book centers. I am reminded of the Narnia series, or of Philip Pullman's "Golden Compass", where children encounter creatures and ideas beyond the scope of everyday reality. The characters respond at first with surprise, shock, disbelief, curiosity - as most of us would. Then, because children are better are adapting and using their imaginations, they accept the new creatures as comrades or foes and step forward into the quest. In this case, the quest is a very real and laudable one: to save the Earth from the damage we humans are doing. And thus is born a new kind of fantasy book for kids, a new kind of super-hero, presented in a creative and fun way, but with very practical, concrete applications.

Lee Welles' Gaia Girls are "eco-heroines", advocates and activists for caring for the Earth, and therefore, caring for ourselves. The message is one of environmentalism and stewardship without being too preachy. The scientific explanations, the political message is not too heavy-handed, and the storylines are exciting in and of themselves. I continued reading because I wanted to know what happens to Miho, and along the way I thought more about the amount of earth that is covered by water, the mind-boggling amount of life that inhabits our oceans, and our place in these things.

Author of "Hobo Finds A Home" editor "Of A Predatory Heart"

I loved this book even more then the first. It is a great mix between fantasy and what is really going on in the world. You feel for the characters... not just the human characters but all the animals in the book as well. I was able to learn the Way of Water along with Miho and all I wanted to do was find some way to help her help the ocean. I can't wait for book three, and in the mean time this book makes me want to do somthing about the way people treat this planet.

Dr. Zimmer's book is enlighting and warm. His antecdotes are charming as is his web site where I found out about the book and ordered it. Thank you Marc.
Zack's Mom

It's a long time that I have been so fascinated by a popular science book as now happened, reading "Glowing Genes". Marc Zimmer neatly explains what one needs to know about genetics and chemistry. But that is not all. Since I read the book a few weeks ago,
· I have become more sensitive to and interested in the benefits of research done for the sake of discovering secrets of nature, as opposed to primarily profit motivated research.
· I believe to understand that not all cloning of animals is harmful, that the pros and cons have to be weighed in each case,
· And having read "Glowing Genes" and Bill Bryson's "A short history of nearly everything", I often wonder how many inventors and first discoverers are forgotten or intentionally not recorded.
Reading "Glowing Genes" is a fun-tour of discovery. My mostly outdated High School Science seems to have been enough background to understand the well explained complex issues. I did have problems though with chapter 12. Perhaps I should read it once more.

I must admit I haven't read this book yet but I did have Marc Zimmer as a professor in college and he was a fascinating man with very interesting ideas. I am possitive that this book will be nothing less than great! If you're reading this review, chances are that you're a least someone interested in the topic of bioluminescence, and that's the case, then I highly recommend you give this book a read! Professor Zimmer lectured on this topic and the technology and possibilites are AMAZING!!!

I bought this book because I was fascinated by the pictures on the cover and read it to see if scientists can really make pigs with glowing noses. They can and they can do so much more. This book was very interesting and was easy to read. I finished it in one go. The author acknowledges Bill Bryson as one of his influences and you can clearly see that in his writing style ...perhaps thats why I enjoyed it so much. Glowing Genes also has cool pictures of a glowing bunny and fluorescent fruit fly sperm. It presents the complete story of GFP and the firefly protein - from the early scientists who caught 1000's of jellyfish and fruit flies to the newest applications. Read it, you will enjoy it.

I have to say that this was a very poorly edited book littered with bizarre mistakes: grammatical, spelling, and elementary history (the introduction talks about 17th century Victorian ladies!). The writing style veers from something targeted at teenagers to something more adult and back again, sometimes in one paragraph.

Having said that, this book really is worth reading, in spite of the style, because the science it describes is riveting. I was vaguely aware of fluorescence as something used by biologists, but the author really does a great job of covering the field; the history, the various ways in which fluorescence is used, the ways in which the essential chemistry of the subject has been modified over the past few years. I'm a sucker for pop science books but, sadly, most of them rehash material that any educated person should already know. It's rare to find one, like this, that not only is packed with material that I did not know but that also manages to weave it all into a coherent narrative.

This is a beautifully compiled book of truly heartfelt and inspirational stories from women of all sizes, shapes, backgrounds, and ages. Almost everyone is touched by cancer somehow these days... all these people should have this book.

You won't be able to put it down!! I have passed on my copy of this book to friends who either have or know someone with cancer & they have all said that it is an inspiration to them! It is a source of support! One friend is using the book as an educational tool, reading & discussing it with her 13 year old daughter. The book is encouraging! It is a phenomenal portrayal of strength & beauty.

I being a breast cancer survivor,two years now,was not sure how I would handle reading this book. Let me tell you.....every person who has dealt with cancer shd pick this up and read it.You will not put it down until you are done. For those like myself, you will relate to at least one story if not all. You will get filled up, remember things you had forgotten or put out of your mind , and you will laugh and smile. For people who have not had cancer but know someone who has you will understand a little better the daily worries and feelings we have which may help explain our sometimes mood swings etc. I am so proud of the work Lesley Daley put into this to help people handle or understand the situation when faced with it. She and the incredible women did a tastefull and awesome job expressing very private feelings through such beautiful photos and stories.

The photos are amazing, the interviews are touching & sensitive. I thought I wouldn't want to read it all in one sitting, but I grabbed a box of tissues, a pot of tea, curled up and spent my afternoon with the goddesses. I recommend the book, it is about life, strength, courage & bravery, fear, and faith in oneself. Thank you Lesley Daley for committing the time and sharing your insight and making this world just a little easier to understand the pain and courage of others, putting things in prospective. Thank you.

This book is a beautiful, chilling and inspiring glimpse into the lives of a wide variety of women during and after fighting cancer. The beautiful photographs are enough to tell the stories - the real personality of each women really comes through in the pictures. The written accounts with the pictuers are poignant glimpses into what these amazing women have been dealing with. I recommend this book - it's truely moving, stunning and inspirational.

The Green Beret in You: Living with Total Commitment to Family, Career, Sports and Life

Mr. Giduck and his associates do an outstanding job of describing in simple "real" speak what it means to make a commitment to life. We will be using his book as a model for character building with our high school students. All educators should read this book as they ponder how to build character in America's youth and in themselves.

The Green Beret in You is both entertaining and inspirational. The book provides many insights about one author's experience as one of the most elite warriors in the world and explains how the lifestyle learned by green berets can and should extend to everyday life. The authors remind us of many of the principles that make one's life worth living. Take courage, for example. We all experience fear as a natural response, but warriors will go out of their way to engage in activities that force them to confront and deal with their fears. Another principle - recognize and live up to your responsibility to family, friends, and community - could help counteract the growing insular nature of today's American culture. Many of us go about our lives trying to improve personal happiness while minimizing risk of personal harm. But how many of us actively attempt to improve the lives of those around us, and are willing to put ourselves in harm's way when someone less capable of defending him- or herself is in need of help? This is exactly the type of thing that this book reminds us to do, and demonstrates that it is a way to bring the meaning that so many of us are searching for into our lives.

This book needs to be read by every man and young man in the United States. We need men that live by these words. I attended a class with the one of the authors John Giduck, and purchased the book there. I am now ordering a copy for each police officer in my agency. I also am purchasing one for my son. Great book.

Let me start by saying I'm a housewife in a small town in Colorado. I also have a keen interest in history and how it is affecting us now in this time of terror and jihad. But when I was given this book to read I didn't really feel it would apply to me. I couldn't have been more wrong. This book offers for something for every man, woman and child in this country. For men, it asks you to look inside yourself and decide what is important enough to take a stand on. For women, it gives you information on safety, and who your "life team" really is, and how to create it. (How many of your friends or family will REALLY be there to do something that counts when you really need them)? For children, do your parents know how to keep you safe, including in a case where your school is attacked? What I know is that some parts of this book were written as if they were written for me, and others showed me better parts of myself than I have ever been able to find by myself. Don't be put off by the title, it is not only for Green Berets, but for America. Many lessons to learn, and perhaps like me you will find something deep inside of you that is stronger, better, and more willing to stand up for what you think, and what your life team needs from you. Thank you John and Andy for creating a better person in me. I hope that more Americans will read it and start to find out who and what they are and stand for.

I've just finished The Green Beret In You by John Giduck and found it to be outstanding. John has brought the true meaning of the Green Beret spirt to each and every page of the book. It's much different than any other book I have read and would recommend it to everyone, male and female alike of all age groups. I have a new outlook on life and understand why the Green Berets are the men that they are and why they live the life they do.This is a "must read" for any Special Operations Operator, be it military or law enforcement, you can"t help but take something away to better your life by reading this well written book.

Great book from my childhood - I was pleased I could still get a new copy for my children's book collection! Thanks!

I remember this book from kindergarten at Neutra School on NAS Lemoore. Everyone, including our teacher, cooed at the adventures of Green Eyes. I haven't thought of this book until my sister mentioned it and I looked here on Amazon to see if it was available. And it was!!

Great fun for my kids to enjoy.

As a little girl I checked this book out of our library nearly every month. I didn't know anyone else with green eyes like mine, so sweet little Green Eyes really captured my attention. The story is so delightful, and you can get lost in the illustrations.
When our library sold their used books, I had to buy "my" book. Now that I see the special edition for sale, I'm going to add the book to our collection.
ps - When my own blue-eyed daughter was growing up, this book was a favorite of hers, too!

One of the first books I remember reading as a child. My mother still has our copy, well, she has what is left of it. I'm so glad its still available. I'm pregnant with my first child and this is the first book I'm buying for my baby!

I remember my mother reading this book to me as a child. It is a wonderful book about how a curious cat sees the seasons. I am a teacher and read it to my first graders every year when we study the seasons.

I am the author of Green Eyes Open...
If you are looking for a relatable book of poetry then this book is for you...Whether you relate to my poetry from love, to cancer, to anger, or just the realness of life's loves and losses.
I hope you'll take a peep in to my mind's eye and enjoy my freedom of expression.

I love her poems. They just grab you and make you give your undevided attention until the last page.

Can't wait for your novel to drop. Keep up the good work!

THIS BOOK IS EXCELLENT SHE IS A GREAT POET AND HER POETRY IS SO UNIQUE IT WILL HAVE YOU SPELLBOUND THIS IS A GREAT BUY

I love this style of poetry... Real, Heart Felt and Honest, this book of poems is beautifully writen and largely underestimated. With a tone that reminds me of other great female poets such as Nikki Giovanni and Mya Angelou. Greeneyedrican is a talented star on the rise. I know we will be seeing alot from this author.
