This book is the quintessential book for showing many, many techniques that can be employed in dye painting cotton or silk fabric using cold water dyes. Ann's methodical and orderly approach to showing all the different techniques makes the book a great reference for the more experienced dyer and also a great book for beginners. With this book and Ann's other book (Color by Accident) in your libary, you will have unlimited resources to dye your own beautiful fabric. This is the authoritative book for dye painting.

This is an excellent book for both beginner and advanced. There are many demonstrations on how to combine colored pencils with other media. There is also the inspiration of the beautiful works of other artists.

I haven't read the entire book, but have used it as a reference. Its description of how a Token Ring network works is the most complete, yet clearest, I have ever seen. Anything I've looked up, I've understood by the time I've put the book down. The only problem is that, since it was copyrighted in 1992, some of the info is getting dated.

The daughter of a wealthy Texas rancher, Farethee Well, uses a black-eyed pea to find her true love. This story is an excellent read-to-me book for children ages 4-9. The story is a parody of the fairy tale, Princess and the Pea. It is full of the language of the West and invites both boys and girls into the story for a lively tale.

Another Hawk's Way story. This is not the best one in the series, but it is still good. Faron Whitelaw finds out the truth about his parents, he was the result of an affair that his mother had. If you read the other books than you will understand how close the Whitelaws are, and how much it hurt Faron to realize his father was someone else. Faron found out who he was when his birth father died and left Faron half of his estate. The other half belongs to Faron's stepmother. Only Faron's idea of a stepmother is not what he gets when he meets Belinda. She is young and beautiful. He figured Belinda for a gold digging princess, but for him to know the truth means that he will have to know the type of man that his birth father was. Belinda and Faron find themselves drawn to each other. They also have a little help from Farons "new" grandmother. There is a lot going on in this story, but it is a quick and easy read. Another Whitelaw is always worth reading about.

Is There A Husband In The House?

When single mother Desiree Parrish discovered that her abusive ex-husband was being released from prison, she knew she needed live-in protection at her ranch. And since hiring a bodyguard would only scare her young daughter, Desiree decided to hire a husband-a big brawny husband-who had more muscles than questions...

All cowboy Carter Prescott had to do to own a piece of Texas was say "I do" and live with a a pretty woman and her cute kid. he didn't have to love his instant family, and since Carter was incapable of that, anyway, he thought he'd gotten one heck of a hassle-free deal. At least until the truth came out....

In this Hawk's Way book the Whitelaws branch out. This is the story of Faron Whitelaw's step brother Carter. We were introduced to Carter in 'The Wrangler and the Rich Girl' when he was interested in purchasing his fathers estate. This story picks up on the exact night that he came to town. Desiree was also first intorduced in the previous book when she came to Faron and Belindas party, she was the young woman that had a scar on her face.

Desiree asks Carter to be her husband and in return she will sign over half of her estate. Carter is looking for somewhere to put down roots and since he can not have his fathers estate he thinks Desiree's offer sounds good. Desiree and Carter get married a week later. Carter does not consider that he will now have to be a father to Desiree's daughter Nicky. Carter has a hard time with the little girl because of his own secret past. Carter also wants to see if Desiree can love him for who he is and does not tell her that he is rich. Desiree also has secrets of her own. She has not told Carter about the abusive ex husband that gave her the scars on her face and body, or that he is getting out of prison and that is why she wanted to get married. Desiree figures that her ex will leave her alone if Carter is there, but she turns out to be really wrong. Despite there pasts they have to try to decide if they want to open there hearts to each other. They also have to deal with all of the secrets between them. This is a great edition to the Hawk's Way series.

I thought I'd given up on buying more cook books. I rarely follow a recipe exactly, anyway. But a friend of mine has this book and has introduced me to some of the most amazing tastes. Tonite we had pasta with walnut sauce...just walnuts ground with olive oil and garlic, I think...but MARVELOUS!

Most are faily simply recipes, but just delicious.

It's a cook book I can't be without.

I received this book 22 years ago when I was pregnant with my first child. I have given it as a gift to each friend who became pregnant. It is funny but oh so true. It makes you realize that you are not the only one going through it but in a very funny way.

I came to this book with a condescending snicker on my face. I was sure it would rattle through old platitudes and moral hype, but it immediately challenged that point of view with clear and compelling evidence that assisted suicide is, and has been, a very bad idea for the vulnerable and depressed. Johnston tells the story of the Hemlock Society and its founder, Derek Humphry; factual and chilling. Kevorkian is skewered by his own words. The Dutch experiment is documented exhaustively and it is clearly something we wouldn't want to try. The threat of manipulating older people (perhaps for their money, perhaps because we're just tired of hearing them chatter) is in fact very real. I liked the historical overview, the tasteful graphics, the liner notes, and the Qand A section. I particularly liked the stuff on copy-cat suicide and Courtney Love! This book is not dry and stiff, it's actually pretty cool. Neat cover too

I have NEVER had a more useful text in my office!! Gives a clear approach to common and often complex problems faced in outpatient and inpatient medicine. Includes topics such as thyroid nodule, hyponatremia (and other electrolyte abnormalities), elevated transaminases, fatigue, chronic diarrhea, constipation, solitary pulmonary nodule, mediastinal adenopathy, and really anything else you can think of!! I have never not been able to find what I needed quickly and easily. A must have for an busy office when you need to know what to do without all the peripheral talk!! I wish they had continue this series in Peds and OB/Gyn (there are old ones in these fields)as they were just as valuable!! An investment you won't regret. Great for residents!!
