A visually stunning book from two modern art masters. Quite a change for those accustomed to the art of the human figure; to flowers. The closeups are crisp, arranged immaculately, and capture an unnatural beauty in the floral kingdom. One to be had!

My daughter is 15 months and has loved this book since we've owned it (when she was about 9 months) but at one year she was able to pull the tabs out herself and gets great enjoyment from "reading" it over and over again. I can leave it in her crib with her as a surprise when she wakes up and she will surely be smiling when I come in to get her and she's got all the tabs out! She loves it so much I looked on Amazon for more in the series. My only complaint? I wish all these little books came in a boxed set!!!!!!!

I was in third grade when author, Lutz Braun wrote this book. I believe he was in sixth grade, but from the writing one would never know. The story is heartwarming and beautiful, combined with fantastic illustrations. I highly reccomend this book for any young aspiring writer.

This is something that will not be shown on prime time television. It will not win the support of the corporate controllers who buy time and form conglomerates so that courageous stories like this will not be told, but in today's topsy turvy world, where control is amassed by every smaller numbers of greedy multinationals, this is a story that needs to be revealed in every shocking detail.

The author takes this account of appalling corporate greed to the level where it must go if the true story is to be revealed, to the linkage between large corporations and the huge international drug network. This is in turn linked to the oil network, and it in turn is attached to the warmaking machine with the chilling potential to amass fortunes by sending youngsters choked off from good jobs by greedy corporate globalism to do their fighting. Chicken hawks like Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz and Perle cheer from the sidelines as these youngsters are sacrificed on an altar of corporate greed.

The CIA is not spared by this courageous author. In many instances it has been used to soften up economies before replacing leaders who demand a fair share of the pie for the people of their respective nations. In other times the influence is more direct, as in overthrowing democratically elected governments in Guatemala, Iran and Chile. Meanwhile the propaganda machine spiels off the message that people hate America because it is such a rich nation with prosperous and happy people. Try telling that to those who have been reduced to fragmentary existences through the oppressive yoke of globalization. Look into what happened in Russia after the old Communist bosses were overthrown.

The Enron picture is tied ever so closely to the Bush regime. While Cheney warned us that California was being torn asunder due to a lack of sufficient energy resources, the truth finally came out in a stinging government report revealing what informed sources already knew, that a savage ripoff led by the Enron brigade had fleeced California's taxpayers. Why not let these evil wrongdoers do the hard time in federal prisons rather than non-violent drug offenders who need treatment rather than prison incarceration?

These are just some of the questions arising from a detailed reading of this brilliant book. We need more courageous authors like this who are not afraid to take on the establishment. This kind of courage is what is needed to turn things around amid suffocating greed at the corporate international level. Perhaps enough courageous voices can ultimately end the tragic concept, which former President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned emphatically against, of preventive war.

This is a great antidote to all the glamour and money in modern professional sport. A tale of hard men, in a neglected corner, who have done extraordinary things.

Fetish Girl .... you're not kidding ....

What a strange little book indeed and I gave it 5 stars, not because I thought it was great, or got me to where I wanted to go but, because it was written for the reader that is into the rubber thing .... I must add this is a deviation from the Blue Moon regular fare that tends to steer towards the S&M, spank, dominationa and discipline type of fare .....

Ursula, a 27 year old beauty has a strong urges for latex (OK so I called it rubber, shows what I know) ever since she got a glimpse of her father having a shower while wearing a snug black latex shower cap. Without going into the little girls and their fathers thing, something snapped (forgive the latex visualization here) in Ursula and she was hooked into finding men wearing latex on the beaches.

The story then starts with Ursula meeting latex clad Adrian (of course) and his very young gay lover at a motel pool, and, certainly it doesn't take long for Ursula to be in their room sucking in more than one or two of the ice cold martinis that were being enjoyed by our happy threeesome. I kind of like that cause the martinis gave the book a grown up 'sauvoi faire' mood.

What makes this fetish book stand swim caps above the crowd is that there is a small story here as all the characters struggle with their homosexuality and love of latex, and, I might add enough of a story that I did manage to finish the book ..... now what in the world did I do with that latex swim cap cause I've gotta stop writing this review and get the the beach ....

I read the entire series of Laura Hesse books. "Oh my. I don't think I've ever seen any book about horses so cute in my life. A warm, friendly story about children and horses.

I laughed and I cried and I understood everything that author had to say.
The story flows very fast, and I had trouble putting the book down.
This was a great read, from the start to the finish.

If you haven't read this one, you don't know what you've been missing.

I work for a company that has been running for over 20 years now and after reading this title, I was taken by the fact that we still do not use these simple yet rewarding techniques. I came across this book after attending a SMA seminar in Utah. It is a great read, breaking down the ins and outs of financial management as it relates to residential construction. Not working within a company that uses open-book accounting practices, it is hard to see everything that is running through here. From this book, one can put two and two together and get a grasp on what is missing. Outstanding read.
