So many allergy specialty cookbooks end up with gooey, or bland tasting recipes that are far from exciting.

This book, however, changes all of that. Interesting, easy-to-use, delicious, and practical, this book could be the only one that you need if you suffer from any food allergies or sensitivities.

It is excellently laid out, with fascinating and thorough information, and I have used it again and again. Although it is not as gourmet as I usually eat, it is sufficient for the average cook/chef that has to deal with allergies in their household.

I highly recommend this book.

As a person who is allergic to wheat, dairy, and eggs, I found this book to be an absolute lifesaver. Anyone with food allergies would know how difficult it is to buy or make alternatives that are cheap, simple, and most importantly taste good. I was very excited when I found this book because it is full of delicious, everyday recipes that are very easy to make. Besides being allergic to many different kinds of foods, I am also a college student living on my own. I didn't have much cooking experience, but I had no problems following the recipes. Another great thing about this book is that the ingredients in the recipes are used over and over again in different ways so there is very little waste. The recipes are also arranged neatly in different catagories, and the book includes detailed information about different ingredients and a rotation diet. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone suffering from food allergies because it has allowed me to enjoy many common recipes I otherwise could not have eaten. I thank the authors with all my heart for writing this much needed book.

I have owned this cookbook for seventeen years and made at least half of the recipes in it. I'm always asked for the recipe by guests. Even my eleven year old nephew enjoyed several of the soup recipes so much, he decided to make them himself. My daughter was a vegetarian during her teens and many of the recipes that I used during that time have become part of my everyday meals. There is nothing more delicious than well prepared vegetables. The dishes in this book are inspired as well. My daughter was disappointed to find that the book is out of print and since I'm not willing to part with my copy, I was able to obtain a used edition to surprise her.

I liked this book SO much that I bought it from our local library as it was out of print and one couldn't be located at the time. I love to grow my own vegetables and each recipe I tried was better than the last. I've tried at least a dozen of the recipes so far with incredible success. The beet timbales with lemon sauce are scrumptious and I have made the cream of carrot soup at least 10 times. The recipes are not difficult to make and the instructions are specific. If the rest of Faye Levy's books are this good, I'll be ordering them one by one! In my opinion it is far and away the best vegetable cook book on the market.

My teacher bought this book for our class. It helped her a lot. She says she was scared that the kids in the class new more about the internet than she did. But she's really good now, too. This is a good book.

This is a fun, easy-to-understand book that answered ALL my questions about how to get started on the Internet and where to take my class online, without overwhelming me with tech-speak. I highly recommend this book. If you are a teacher who wants to integrate "Internet" into your classrrom, but aren't sure how to start, this is the best book EVER. The author has really thought of everything - detailed Internet and e-mail set-up instructions, vocabulary explanations, there are even example permission letters to parents as well as the excellent descriptions of what's out there on "Internet" for high quality educational websites for teachers and students. I eagerly await more books like this to take me to the next level. I hope there will be more in this series; it's opened up a whole new exciting world to me and made me a better teacher.

This book is not sappy at all. It has a fun & upbeat get-to-know-you style - something that I think children will want to read both while they're still young AND when they're grown. It's a fill-in-the-blank format with generous sized blanks for your answers (but it doesn't expect whole paragraphs) - easy and fun for the grandfather to fill-in. It asks the kinds of questions about childhood that a child would want to know (hobbies, favorite things, what did you do to earn money & what did you spend it on, what were your chores, etc). It covers the grandfather's childhood, young adulthood, engagement/wedding, first year of marriage, his children being born, and the grandchild being born. It is very comprehensive. Good, fun illustrations inside, too. Highly recommended.

What a wonderful gift for both a grandfather and grandchild. It meant a lot to both grandfather and granddaughter to sit and share his life. My daughter gave it to her grandfather as a birthday gift and on completion he in turn gave it to her. It helped her feel closer to him because he lives so far away. What a great idea! I wish I had something like this of my grandparents.

HADRIAN'S BOWL is a thrilling piece of work on a wide canvas that sweeps from scuba diving for antiquities in the Mediterranean, to covert encounters in European cities, to perilous smuggling on a small craft crossing the north Atlantic in the depths of winter, to clandestine high level board meetings in New York's most posh hotels. This is not a mere adventure escapade. It is a quest by a successful businessman who inadvertently stumbles into trouble and in the process of trying to extricate himself, discovers for the first time in his life the essence of his soul. It is a story filled with rich characters, some noble, some contemptible, but every one fascinating. HADRIAN'S BOWL is propelled by a remarkably subtle entreaty to understanding human differences, in this case homosexuality. It all ends in a glorious and uplifting denouement. Melvin R. Bloom, Literary agent, Ret., Author

This book is a great read, a fascinating "crossing the north sea chase adventure", but it is also an internal adventure and a social exploration. Does a bowl from antiquity imply that Jesus accepted homosexuality? Who are the various people trying to capture the bowl, and for what exremely different purposes? Lots of fun, and also quietly moving.

I have jusr finished reading Mike Levy's book,INVESTING WITH A GENIUS. It is written in simple concise language that anyone can understand. As a long time investor, I highly recommend this book to anyone remotely interested in investments. It is a must reading for secondary school as well as college students. This type of investment book fills a niche was very much needed.

Michael Levy's book "Invest with a Genius" is a compelling read that provides the reader with an understanding of what true wealth actually means to them, and, how that wealth can be attained in a joyous manner.

It clarifies the meaning of the terminology associated with the wealth generation process and helps the reader to understand not only who the Genius is, but also, where the Genius can find the information required to attain that true wealth.

The book contains a message for novice and experienced investors alike. It is a truly unique blend of financial advice, poetry and spiritual inspiration in a combination never seen before.

In short, if you only purchase one book this year; I would recommend that you make that one purchase "Invest with a Genius".

Eliezer Goldman, the editor, has done an excellent job in presenting the ideas and views of Leibowitz to the English speaking public. This collection of articles gives a broad overview of the Jewish faith, the relationship of religion to the people and the state of Israel, the political problems of the Israeli state and finally the relationship of Judaism to Christianity. It is a thoroughly honest exposition of the problems inherent in the various topics and it is a pity that the book has not become more widely known and reviewed.
It should be of interest to a Jewish as well as Gentile readership and had his warnings after the 1967 war, in relation to the occupation of the conquered territories, been heeded Israel would not be in the difficult straits the country finds itself in today.
His discussion of the Judeo-Christian heritage and refusal to accept the term is also valuable. He does not mind explaining "the repugnance Judaism has for Christianity" as seen from a genuine orthodox Jewish perspective, rather than from any of the other parts of the spectrum which comprises today's Judaism.
While some may not agree with all of his views, they are honest, well reasoned and therefore important to be listened to.

Perhaps the best introduction to Yeshayahu Leibowitz in English is Eliezer Goldman's prefatory essay to the volume he edited, Yeshayahu Leibowitz, Judaism, Human Values, and the Jewish State (Cambridge, MA: Harvard, 1992). This volume contains 27 translated essays, most of which come from Leibowitz's Hebrew collection, Yahadut, Am HaYehudi u-Medinat Yisrael (Jerusalem: Schocken, 1975). Goldman's recent collection of his own essays, Mehkarim ve-Iyyunim (Jerusalem: Magnes, 1996) contains a number of pieces on Leibowitz as well.

Yeshayahu Leibowitz (1903-93) was the often paradoxical, so-called "conscience of Israel"--a philosopher, controversial social critic, and sharp-tongued Socratic gadfly. He was born in 1903 in Lithuania, and was educated in Germany prior to settling in Jerusalem in 1934, where he taught chemistry, physiology, and the philosophy of science at the Hebrew University. He was an author and editor of the Encyclopedia HaIvrit, and taught, lectured, and wrote on a wide range of issues throughout his long life.

Beyond his political thought, Leibowitz is perhaps best known (and critiqued) for his radical conceptions of Judaism. In brief, his position focused on the centrality--indeed, exclusivity--of mitsvot as the constitutive factor in Judaism. Observing the commandments (i.e. fulfilling the divine will) is an end in itself, and not a means to achieve personal, spiritual, or communal benefit. The significance of a religious act, argues Leibowitz, is in its performance qua worshipping God. To seek any meaning beyond that is, in his opinion, idolatry. Critics took Leibowitz's position as atheistic--and indeed, he effectively removes God from the human experience of religion: God as the transcendent being is unimportant to Leibowitz, only the service of God holds any meaning. The relationship between man and God can only exist in the arena of the normative practice of halakhah (Jewish law).

Leibowitz feared (and in this many feel he was prescient) that the continued entanglement of religion and state would ultimately lead to a corruption of religion. He felt that the inability or unwillingness of rabbinic authorities in the early years of the State to forge innovative halakhic approaches to unprecedented situations (engendered by the return of Jewish sovereignty in the modern era) would turn religious Jews into parasites. Leibowitz further articulated views on the State, such as positing that the ascription of inherent sanctity to the land is a form of idolatry, and that viewing the state as a value in and of itself (rather than a vehicle for social or national good) is a precursor to fascism. He believed that Israel's occupation of the West Bank and Gaza after the 1967 war would ultimately corrupt the state in the way in which all colonial regimes become corrupted. All of these elements bear the common thread of his repugnance at the use of religion to justify what he saw as political corruption or oppression.

He remains an original (albeit controversial) voice on every issue within the Israeli social discourse. This helped generate the visceral connection the Israeli public has to Leibowitz and the issues on which he wrote. This volume introduces the reader to these compelling issues, and to a thinker who articulated positions which anyone interested in understanding Jewish life in the Jewish State in the modern era must contend with.

"The Karate Class Mystery" is a book about friends who work together even when their frindship is threatened. The karate stuff is fun and the vocabulary is explained really well so you don't feel stupid. I love mysteries and this is a fun one. If you like mysteries and karate you should read this one. The other Invisible Inc. books are good too but I liked this one best.

This is a story about a kid who wanted to see his friend more often, so he went to karate classes to see him, and in the story he helps his friend find his white belt. This was a fun book to read and it had some funny parts, too.

Lessons in Tanya leads the reader through every paragraph and page, illuminating the mystical, often allusive, Talmudic, Kabbalistic, and Scriptural verses and concepts. It fills many gaps in what the terse Tanya text assumes to be the reader's background knowledge.

A well-lit and accesible gateway to Tanya, and the most authoritative guide to its riches.

The Tanya is a must read for anyone who is searcing for satisfaction in life. It will guide the reader with practical advice on how to be a better person, and it will help you achieve your maximium potential in life.

This book is a first class work of scholarship by a member of baseball's famed Hall of Fame that takes the reader through a day-by-day account of the transactions and events of the historic 1946. Mr. Levy corrects many of the mistakes that are found in common reference books of the season. His preface is a moving tribute to the returning wartime players great and small without being sentimental. Many players who are now just names in record books become human again as the author expertly tells their stories such as Pete Reiser misplaced courage that would led to his fracture leg, or Phil Marchildon courageous war record, and his harrowing experiences in W.W 2.

Bob Levy's work, "Major League Baseball Transactions, 1946", is a remarkable addition to baseball history. It adds invaluable data for a fascinating time in the game's history... the early post-War years.

What Mr. Levy has done is to provide the most extensive review of the '46 season available anywhere. Among other things, his unique "grids" display every single player's appearance in every single 1946 game. Until now, this data was available only to those very few fans who have access to the microfilmed 1946 boxscores.

In addition to the grids, there are extensive and fascinating tales sprinkled throughout, many of which reveal tales which even serious fans never knew.

Grab this book if you want a unique and insightful look at a year which changed the game forever.

We can only hope that Mr. Levy will produce more such books in the future.
