Magnificent book, and Michael Card is a reasonably good reader; However, the MP3 tags and file names do not reveal the date of the page being read. The MP3 files are merely named 0001.mp3 to 0371.mp3, which means that 0001 to 0005 are the introduction and preface. To be useful, you have to organize the files and rename them all. The MP3 tags are also not helpful.

I'm very excited about finding DuBay's book through her web site limogesantiques.com - her books are wonderful. I have inhereited many pieces of Limoges and her books helped me identify the factory, the marks, and to date each piece.

This book gives incredible insight into creating peace, and war, in our lives. I guarantee it will apply to at least one significant relationship in your life, if not more, and it will likely improve it if you follow its sound advice.

The book is a simple and enjoyable read. I will be using the advice in my every day life, with family, friends, coworkers and the clients I do therapy with - perhaps even with strangers.

Another great read...worth a second read!

The format they used to present the main ideas was very effective for me. I found the book easy to read and follow. It was so good, I am going to read it a second time so that the points will stick.

I also read Leadership and Self Deception. It's good to read both in chronological order.

The Anatomy of Peace: Resolving the Heart of Conflict

My wife and I were looking for a way to reach a new member of our family who was having trouble fitting in. Enlighted by the remarkably clear, yet penetratingly deep, concepts shared through easy to read, personal, stories, we now have renewed hope and a very workable game plan for effecting a better relationship with our new family member and with everyone else, starting with ourselves. Our thanks go to The Arbinger Institute for making these core training concepts so universaly available.

I purchased 3. I kept one for myself and gave the other to to family. They loved it.

They arrived very quickly.

Coins fit perfectly without falling out as they did in the other album I used to have.

It has a wonderful layout, the only thing Im not so pleased with is the size of the album as it is a bit too big for my liking.

I highly recommend it.

Bought this for my daughter who wanted to share a hobby with her grandma. Very informative and colorful. There is a real U.S. map inside. Quarters are placed in a hole right on the state that they are from. Fun facts and educational information about each state. Great pictures of the different quarters. Helped my daughter learn her states and other valuable geography lessons. She even presented it to her brownie troop to earn a badge.

I own all three of Debby DuBay's books on Limoges along with all of the other reference books available on the market today. I have to admit - it is hard finding this book unless you purchase it on line - but it is well worth the effort. Out of all of the Limoges reference books this book Antique Limoges at Home is the absolutely best. It covers French factory listed artists, amature artists, American Decorating Studios, American listed artists, every back stamp and mark out there, reproductions and a complete section of American Limoges marks. Antique Limoges at Home is the best and a must for the Limoges collector.

Antique Limoges at Home is a great resource book with the marks & beautiful photos of unique pieces. Highly recommend this book. I have the book by Gaston & those by Waterbrook/Clyde and I can not recommend them. If you need a book on Limoges porcelain purchase one of DuBay's: Antique Limoges at Home, Living With Limoges & Collecting Hand Painted Limoges Porcelain.

Review Date: 2006-02-07
Numerous color photographs of limoges' pieces or sets in different rooms of a home--foyer, livingroom, bedrooms, etc.--illustrate how this highly desirable porcelain can enhance any setting. Individual pieces and sets are highlighted in middle chapters on different types of limoges such as plates, ewers, platters, chalices, dresser sets, punch bowls, teapots, vases, and others. With these pieces with price ranges conveniently noted following brief descriptions, one can study the details of illustrations, design of the edges, ornamentation, shape, and coloring. There's a shorter section for limoges pieces "you can wear"--i. e., brooches, pins, buttons. Owner of the Limoges Antique Shop in Andover, MA, and author and contributor to other books on limoges who is also a retired Air Force officer, Debbie DuBay has long been a recognized leader in spreading the word about the special beauty, diversity, and value of limoges. This book is so attractive, a reader might miss the general information and reference material DuBay provides of use to collectors and investors at all levels. Opening chapters introduce beginning collectors to limoges porcelain, noting distinctions between French and American limoges and the matter of reproductions. The references on artists, markings, and evaluating a piece or set more of interest to advanced collectors and dealers comes toward the end. Here there are close-ups of the many artist signatures and factory marks signifying the finest limoges.

I really like this book. I am a beginner sewer and I have already made the Basic Waist Apron (the first of the patterns) and it was very simple. The instructions were very easy to follow. I love the stories that are told...and I am an antique lover so the vintage styles and prints are a great treat to look at.

I recommend this book if you want to learn to make aprons or read some really touching stories.

The Apron Book is not only a delightful walk down memory lane, it also inspires you to make your own aprons! I am now planning an "apron party" for a sleepover filled with over-30 Moms and I think we will make aprons for one of the fundraisers coming up. It is a great gift with an apron you made, as well. Each time I give this book as a gift, I get calls about all the things the recipient remembered. It's very fun!

I received the book yesterday and couldn't put it down. After dinner I curled up on the couch with it and read it cover to cover. If you are expecting this book to be a book full of apron patterns, you will be disapointed. However, if you love vintage textiles you will surely enjoy the pictures and apron stories. And for those with the creativity gene, who needs a pattern anyway? If I had to describe the book in two words, I would say it's nostalgic inspiration. Enjoy!

I wanted a book that would give me a starting point of the fundamentals in wine, the basics. However, this book goes over the top in detail. A little too much for what I was expecting.

I purchased the Art of Modern Rock online for my son and his wife for Christmas. I usually have a difficult time finding a gift I think they will like. They have a rock band themselves, and my daughter-in-law is also interested in art, so I gave this book a try. Not only did they love it, but they are in it! I wish now that I had opened it and looked through it before I mailed it to them. I was pleased with the book, and the service from Amazon is always excellent!

Gary Vaynerchuk is a charlatan within nothing insightful or informative to say. How he got to where is is a mystery to me. I guess it's because he's done a good job of positioning himself as a "shock" wine critic. He acts like a complete goofball his video reviews, and not in a good way. That really annoys me - not because he acts goofy, but because it's obviously FORCED and unnatural. He probably believes he needs to do something to make his subject matter more interesting. (After all, wine doesn't lend itself to a visual medium like video, right? Please.) Ironically, good wine needs no embellishment. All he needs to do is tell the stories behind the wines he's reviewing and the producers who make them, and do that in a straightforward way, and he would be fascinating. When it comes to wine, reality is more interesting than fantasy.

I love this yoga book. It has detailed illustrations and very detailed descriptions for all of the more common yoga poses. The level of detail may be a bit much for the beginning student but it really does describe very precisely and accurately how to achieve perfect form. It is definitely helpful to have a manual such as this to supplement exercise videos which seldom provide detailed enough form cues. As a result of reminding myself of the proper form cues, I have definitely improved my mastery of the poses.

This is a decent, portable substitute for Iyengar's "Yoga, the Path to Holistic Health," which is a huge hardback that is impossible to carry with you and much more expensive. It doesn't have the latter's wonderful 360-degree views of the "classic" postures, but it does have the written "check lists" for performing each posture correctly. Accepting that constraint, my only complaint is the authors' selection of "classic" postures. They devoted several pages to "sequences" that could have been used for other postures that were omitted. Still, a worthwhile purchase.

I've been doing Yoga for several years (honestly, on and off) and recently I decided to Yoga sincerely to get rid of my backpain. My backpain vanished in 7 weeks completely and am feeling really vibrant! Earlier, I tried chiropractor / massages, it gave only temporary relief. Having realized that value of Yoga, I got interested in knowing the philosophy as well as other asanas. During my research, most of the books and dvds I looked into are junk as they have commercialized and giving some substandard yoga. This is a book on authentic Yoga (Iyengar) and this work was blessed by Iyengar himself.

If you want to have only one book on Yoga, this is the one as it's highly practical and above all authentic.

Following book are recommended for yoga teachers / advanced students:
~ Light on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali by BKS Iyengar [faithful to the original text; conclusive]
~ Light on Yoga by B.K.S. Iyengar (good for reference)
