i've owned this book/guide for 5 years and can still come up with different combinations of yoga sets and meditations. i say "almost everything" because having access to a Kundalini Yoga teacher would make this complete, but you can't go wrong with this guide alone. as stated by another reviewer, we are truly blessed to have Guru Rattana provide this knowledge in a truly usable format.

This book is practical guide with many meditations and kriyas by Yogi Bhajan. It helps us with our transition and increases our awarenss as we move into the Aquarian Age. Gururattan has blessed us with a book that shows us how to use our heart to reach our true potential.

A new edition of the Mayberry poetry books was released in September of 2007 with photo of Mt. Airy, North Carolina on the cover, including more poems and illustrations, and retailing for $10.95. The older edition with the squad car on the cover pictured here is now out of print.

If you are a fan of The Andy Griffith Show you will love this collection of delightful poems about all the special people and places in Mayberry.

I love this reference book, I don't know how I got along without it all these years. It's so informative and easy to use, even my 11yr.old grandaughter uses it. I'll certainly be giving one to family & friends for Christmas this year. It's a great asset to every kitchen.

Everything you ever needed is right here in one book. It is a must have for everyone, from those who dabble in the kitchen as well as the professional cook. You'll wonder how you ever got by without it. Also makes a great gift for friends and family. I love this book.

This book is full of awesome music, I could play all day!

shows classics, makes it easy with other instruments,-marc

I recently ordered this book from Amazon and must admit to hesitating a bit before I spent the money - but this book is truly extraordinary. It is as advertised, perfect for the beginning student starting out without a teacher. It is structured for studying by yourself and covers subjects in a way not found in other books or tapes. If you are in the market for an introduction to music through the use of a keyboard, then this book is for you.

The first thing I appreciated about Julia's method was her "absence of guilt" approach. Music is supposed to be fun and she ensures there is never any guilt feeling that will detract from the fun. Her method is also an extremely logical, orderly method of learning about music. Once you train your eyes, mind and hands to work together and instantly recognize and play a chord, you have made the first leap towards being able to sight-read any music you choose.

She's written some fabulous music to help speed the "learning" portion of music so you can get on to the fun part.

I simply cannot express my full appreciation for Julia Wade's method of learning music.

This book is a transcription of Wayne Henderson's Made & Played, so you should have the CD along with the book. The author gives you a concise history of Mr. Henderson, his guitar building, and finger style prowess. The rest of the book is a note for note transcription of the album. For those of us, ME, who are just getting started on Fingerstyle... this is a great way to do it. I'm taking it one measure at a time and putting the song together piece by piece. For those of you who are advanced players, I'm sure this will be a good instructional & practice book for you. I'm truly enjoying the challenge of this book and it's making me a better guitar player. Cheers!

If you like roots and traditional "Americana" music, you must get this book. Wayne Henderson is a phenomenal picker and the tab in this book is accurate down to the last quarter note. There are also many helpful notes on how to play the tunes, how Wayne plays (what picks he uses, etc), and how one might approach a given passage. This is great stuff. I would highly reocommend this book and Wayne's CD. David Ziegle must be a musical genius with the patience of Job to sit down and tab all this out. My congratulations to him for a fantastic job. I have had soooo much fun with this book and it has greatly improved my own playing.

What are the three F's in cooking today? Flavor, Fast and Fat reduced. I found these all in Norma Chang's "wokking Your Way to Low Fat Cooking. I've made several recipes from this book and found them easy to follow and the results delicous! Most recipes have a teaspoon or less added fat. The hints and tips throughout the book are good for all types of cooking. With the variations added to each recipe, add another F for fun!

My husband and I never choose to eat at Chinese restaurants any more. Why? We've been too spoiled by this book! Why go out to eat when we can have better food at home?

"Wokking Your Way to Low Fat Cooking" changed my cooking style and our taste buds forever. The fried rice, chow mein and other dishes served in restaurants now seem too greasy and boring, heavy in calories and unnecessary additives. We've gotten too used to the fantastic flavor and less fat in Norma Chang's creative and healthy cuisine. I use her book at least once a week, if not more. It is my constant companion in the kitchen. Even if I am not cooking directly from her book, I have adapted the author's methods and helpful tips to other recipes. After reading "Wokking Your Way", I've never cooked the same again.

"Wokking Your Way" recipes are not only easy to prepare but also nutritious and delicious. The directions clearly state each step and include variations to add simple spice to any dish. Most ingredients can be bought at a regular grocery store. A wok is not even necessary. I've used non-stick skillets instead.

During my postpartum days, adjusting to life with a newborn, I often made Sweet and Sour Fish or Bay Scallops with Green Peas, dishes that contain lots of protein and vitamin-rich vegetables but can be cooked in just minutes. If I have a busy evening planned, then I do what the author suggests: marinate the meat and slice the vegetables the night before. The next day, dinner can be finished in less time than the rice cooker needs to make the rice. So easy and "yummy" (as my toddler daughter now says)!

The book also contains many other well-loved recipes, including plenty of ideas for salmon (my favorite), a creative Crispy Apricot Chicken, Beef with Spinach Soup, Sesame Noodles, and, a favorite fall dessert: Autumn Fruits with Honey and Lime.

Friends often ask me for my recipes. I tell them what a wonderful cookbook "Wokking Your Way to Low Fat Cooking" is. The subtitle written on the cover says it all: "dedicated to food lovers who are long on good taste but short on time".

Wonderful Good Cooking From Amish Country Kitchens is plastic comb-bound recipe book of authentic, taste- tested Amish country kitchen recipes. Short, easy-to-follow recipes such as Broccoli Casserole, Carrot Bread Loaf, Rhubarb Sponge Pie, Hot Potato Salad, Barbecued Hamburger and much more offer delicious farm-life table creations for every occasion. An introductory that section familiarizes the reader with Amish culture and color photographs of Amish people fulfilling their livelihood round out this quite delightful glimpse of farm country life.

I fell in love with this book's whimsical title, and thoroughlyenjoyed it's content. The book begins with a lengthy introduction tothe Amish, describing their customs, history, and beliefs. This is not your typical cook book, as it is full of photos of people and scenes, instead of food! I have tried several of the recipes, and love the hearty down-home cooking of this culture. It is real life cooking. I was intrigued with recipes such as "Lima Beans with Sour Cream" and "Spiced Cabbage", which aren't typical recipes for the region I live! I was also amused with the recipe titled "Shipwreck" (a combination of ground beef, "leftover rice", tomato sauce, and other ingredients), and one called "Oatmeal Pie #2". If you are looking for a gourmet cookbook with fancy recipes, this is not the book for you (although you may be surprised at some of the unique recipes that are listed). However, if you want a great resource for real life cooking, with ingredients that you have in your own pantry, along with some interesting information on the Amish people, you will enjoy (and USE) this book!

This is the best ( and most used )referance book I have. The large diagrams make learning scales very easy, and with this many scales you need it to be easy. Everything from simple pentatonic to the obscure is covered. Nice job!

This is "the scale book"! It's the most complete scale book I have ever seen. This book really does cover the world of scales. The author has obviously done tons of research and makes the information easy to understand. There are some pretty wild scales in this book that you really should spend some time with. I found the Indonesian pentatonic scales to be really cool. And what is really sweet about it, is that I can now see how to use these scales in my own music.

The explanation of the modes is great. I finally understand how the modes work! I have read alot of other scale books but this one gives the best explantion of the modes. I can now apply modalization to any scale I want.

I found the book to be very user-friendly. The layout is great. The scale fingerings are easy to read. Another real cool thing about this book is its coverage of chord theory. I now know how to determine the chords that will work with any scale.
