As other reviews write, it is certainly a humble book. The section on the training of young trees (a mere 2 1/2 pages) is concise, easy to follow, and copied by many newer authors. Available at most nursery stores. You can find thicker books with more pictures and more discussion, but still, no improvement. Available from: Martin Bio-Products, Burbank CA. Carried by many nurseries, incl. Walter Andersen in San Diego, CA.

Great little book for the home gardener. 8"x4" reference book with good illustrations. I use it all the time, and I use it every year, my trees look healthy and natural because the pruning instructions are clear. I was on here looking for another copy, great gift for new gardeners. That says alot, this is a book I would give over and over again but I wouldn't part with my issue!

As a Bene Israel Jew the book impressed me very much. Lot of research work was done by the author. Many customs and history of the Bene Israel community are written profoundly by the author. The book isn't only about the Bene Israel, but also about other Jewish communities in India and outside India. The book also includes Indian history. This book is a good example of what a comprehensive book should be like.

Harvard professor, T. Berry Brazleton, shares a lot of insight into infant development in a way to help parents understand their own babies. This book covers the first twelve months of the infant's life. He categorizes babies into the quiet baby, the active baby and the average baby.

The impressive and highly recommended collaborative work of Mary Ann Bell (Assistant Professor of Library Sciences, Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, Texas); Mary Ann Berry (Associate Professor/Chairman, Department of Library Sciences, Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, Texas); and James L. Van Roekel (Director of Academic Instructional Technology and Distance Learning, Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, Texas) Internet And Person Computing Fads is a seminal A-to-Z reference presented in a straightforward, accessible style that will make it essential for academic library collections and welcome utility for non-specialist general readers with an interest in the subject matter covered. From artificial intelligence, to the "Mac vs. PC" debate; to commonly used abbreviations, to distance learning, and so much more, Internet And Personal Computing Fads is as easy to use as it is informed and informative.

One of the most brilliant talents to utilize video (among other media), Tony Oursler is someone to pay attention to. This book, which accompanies a traveling exhibition that covers his work to date, makes a real contribution to the understanding of why he does what he does. It includes reviews written through the years by people who have followed him, as well as two in-depth interviews with this articulate, intelligent and thoughtful artist. Illustrations of everything from his earliest work to his drawings to stills from his video installations fill the book.

Oursler's work is not unlike a traffic accident: it can be horrifying, but it is so fascinating that one cannot look away. The work speaks to the anxiety of our age and the isolation we've created in our society.

This book is a big step to giving this artist the recognition he deserves. I highly recommend it.

Recently published by Kar-Ben, It's Challah Time is a wonderful photo-documentary of challah-baking by preschool children. The setting of the story is the preschool classroom itself. The children actively participate in adding the ingredients, mixing, kneading, rolling and braiding the home-made bread in the housekeeping area. As they wait for the challah to bake, they are pictured doing those things preschoolers do: reading in the book area and singing and dancing with the visiting Cantor. Finally, the challah is ready, the table is set, prayers are said. There's only one more thing to do...and by the looks on the faces of the children on both the front and back covers, the challah-baking experience is quite a success!
The photographs in this book are just wonderful. The children will love looking at the children their ages in a setting so similar to their own. I'm thinking I may need two copies of this book: one for story-telling and one for the housekeeping area itself. What a great reference for not only an actual challah-baking activity, but for a pretend one as well!

"It's Hanukkah Time" is a book that follows the preparations of a group of preschoolers who are getting ready for a Hanukkah party with their grandparents. It features numerous photographs of the children making invitations and gifts. It shows them hanging decorations and preparing traditional donuts (sufganiyot). The activities they participated in with their grandparents, such as dancing and reading stories, are also shown.

Nicholas liked looking at the pictures of the children and expressed that "they look like they are having fun." He really wants to make "some of those donuts." (The recipe is included in the book.) He now wants to make decorations for his house this Christmas and have a big party so people can take a lot of pictures and make a book.

"It's Hanukkah Time" is laid out more like a photo album instead of a storybook. I was unsure how children would react to it since they are used to illustrations instead of real photographs. However, I now think it helped to bring out his creative side since he saw that other children accomplished these tasks.
