I found this book to be clear, concise and easy to read. Most of Richard Webster's books are like this. The ideas and suggestions were easy to follow, and didn't go too deeply into the whole history of each "feng shui" rule and principle for each idea, which I like. I am the type of person who likes to read a BIT of the history, and be able to apply it quickly. I do not like a whole lot of "long-figuring" to apply a concept. This book appealed to that characteristic. Simple solutions for simple questions. If you like a deeper "why and wherefor" of feng shui in the garden, you better go to Lillian Woo(?) Webster's book will appeal to people who want a quick overview and want to start using basics of feng shui IMMEDIATELY. One does NOT have to be a feng shui master to ubderstand this book.

I picked up this book (in regular print) on a throw out table at a local bookstore while I was between reading matters. I found it a great book describing female hardship, strength and the tenderness of sisters united. The story of Laurie's weakness and fears which turn into courage and strengths is inspiring. I love the similarity of the swans to her idea of freedom. It is a really well written story which would I am sure will touch the heart of any woman. I need more of Elizabeth Webster's writtings to compare to this one.

There is no such thing as "Italian cooking" and I think Frommer's Food Lover's Companion to Italy is a great introductory tool to learn about the different foods of each region of Italy. My mother's family came from central Italy and I grew up eating great dishes like homemade pasta, risotto, gnocchis, and polenta. However, my knowledge of the cuisines of other regions was limited and I found this little book to be of great value in showing how each region differs from the others.

This is not a cookbook, but I've found it to be enlightening in helping me discover what other types of Italian cooking I'd appreciate. I've bought cookbooks on Liguria, Piedmont, and Emilia-Romagna based to a very great extent on what I read in this book. There's a lot of relevant information on the foods of each region, as well as some discussion on regional specialties like risotto in Piedmont, polenta in the Veneto, and farrinata in Liguria.

This is one of two books that I keep at work to browse through while eating lunch. The other is Judy Ridgway's "The Olive Oil Companion". Quite often I thumb through the Frommer book to see variations of my favorite foods and think about dinners that lie ahead. If anything, this little book has enhanced my love of Italian foods.

This is the 2nd edition of her book and I just found out there is a new edition dated Feb., 2000, which I plan to buy immediately. An excellent starting point - this book will save you a lot of research time when planning a trip and will help you immediately pinpoint the best dining and accomodation choices. It's one of the first books I turn to when planning a trip or where to eat and has given me ideas for other trips (e.g. Brandywine Valley and Wilmington). The writeups are accurate and give a sense of the foods and surroundings. My only criticism is that the photography could be better. But then, the reader can always follow up by visiting an establishment's web site (if they have one).

Frederick Webster's 3rd ed. of Industrial Marketing Strategy offers a comprehensive review of business-to-business marketing. This is an excellent overview for the business executive and the general marketing practitioner. The sections on buying behavior and buyer-seller relationships are a good review of those processes that influence customers to buy. The book is a rational academic review of the marketing process. Unfortunately, Webster, like most books on the subject, does not address the irrational aspects of the industrial customer's behavior. All-in-all this is still the most comprehensive single volume review of industrial marketing currently available. Warren D. Smith, CPC. Venture Marketing Inc. ventmktinc@aol.com

This book gives first-hand accounts of InvisibleHelpers--people who go to sleep at night, leave their bodies at home,and go out helping people. They really do exist, even if the idea sounds wild at first. Read the book.

First, you should read "The Work of Invisible Helpers," by Amber Tuttle, as it's a bigger book and explains a lot more. But C.W. Leadbeater's book is good too, just a lot shorter.

Leadbeater, a famous theosophist/psychic who lived 90 years ago, talks about who Invisible Helpers are and what they do. It gives a different point of view. If you are interested in psychic powers and how they can be made useful to help people, check this title out.

This little dictionary is small enough to carry in your purse of pocket and has the words you are most likely to need to look up. So many people have liked mine that I bought several to give away. My kids and their friends really like it too!

It's a hardcover, so not the most comfortable field guide to throw in a backpack, but I don't have any other complaints about this book.

Animal profiles are accompanied by excellent color photographs, basic statistics about each animal (distribution, habitat, abundance, etc.), and a shaded map outlining just where each animal's distribution is. Entries for each animal are detailed enough, but don't seem to go on so long that a person would lose interest.

One more gripe: pictures of the animals feet, so that pawprints could be identified easily, would have been a welcome inclusion here. The Simon and Schuster's Guide To Mammals, by Boitani, is an inexpensive book that includes this feature. It might be a helpful second book to get on the topic.

It's an exciting book for young naturalists, too, who will likely get stirred up just by seeing some of the photos (star-nosed mole, northern flying squirrel, big brown bat, etc.).

Essays on conservation, the region, and tips on observation precede the main body of the book. The essays are short and well-written. They should be helpful to anyone who wants to scout out some mammals in the Carolinas, Virginia, or Maryland.
