In a crazy family, this book provides great insight into how things might seem plausible. It is a wonderful story about human triumph. I laughed and I cringed, but in the end, I was glad I spent the time reading this wonderful story.

This is one of the best books I have read in a long time. A very touching story and it is well written. You really get involved with the characters in the story and feel what they are going through. Highly recommended.

I counsel people on growing medicinal herbs commercially and this is the number one book I recommend to people considering starting a herb business. Lee Sturdivant provides inspirational stories from successful herb businesses around the nation. Tim Blakley provides an extensive listing of a wide variety of popular medicinal herbs and the most up-to-date information on how to grow them. Harvesting, packaging, and marketing information is also provided. Excellent book! I hope the authors will keep this one updated for us.

This is an amazing book. When my husband and I began to consider the cultivation of medicinal herbs as a retirement project, The Bootstrap Guide was recommended to us by Heather McNeill of Frontier Herbs, a major medicinal herb marketer.

The Bootstrap Guide to Medicinal Herbs exceeded my expectations. In addition to an overview of the medicinal herb industry, there are profiles of growers and herbal product manufacturers, growing requirements, and detailed instructions for propagation, cultivation, harvesting, and marketing, including questionaires filled out by herb marketing companies such as Frontier and Celestial Seasonings. These questionaires alone are worth the price of the book, giving such information as minimum purchase quantities, preference for fresh or dried, organic or non-organic, and market projections.

In addition, there is a thorough discussion of the ethics of wildcrafting and the need to develop domesticated sources for the many herbs whose popularity has made them endangered species. All this in a friendly, concise, well-written 318 pages.

If herb-growing or market gardening forms a part of your life, or your plans, read this book.

This is excellent resource for clergy & layman seeking a closser walk with the Lord.

Dr. Phillips years of study & personal experience culminate in a religious masterpiece that has been largely ignored by the mainstream press.

Get off the beaten path, march to a different drummer, and buy a copy to give as a gift to everyone you know.

This is an excellent resource for anyone who is serious about worship prayer.

Every minister should have a copy on his desk and another by his bed.
Highly recommended.

This book is amazing. If you or anyone you know is from Bay Ridge get this book. I have recently moved out of Bay Ridge, but this book makes me want to go back. To see the changes that the neighborhood has gone through it incredible. This is a must have for your personal library.

This journey by text and antique photos of Bay Ridge and Fort Hamilton is a must read and a must own for those of us who lived the good life on these pleasant streets. Gone forever but still alive in our memories are the Staten Island Ferry and some of the small movie theatres that represented escape from the hot summers of the inner city. The majestic mansions that dotted Shore Road are gone but their replacements, though slightly less opulent, retain the gentile grandeur of the area. Fort Hamilton High School and Public School 102 remain as they were still serving thousands of Bay Ridge children. Send this book to anyone you know who grew up in Bay Ridge. They will thank you for this delightful trip back in time.

This is an outstanding book, and it bring great inspiration to all that are striving for success.

Way to go Lee, et. al!

This volume of work is splendid! Each chapter is its own vignette of triumph over trial, of success without compromise. Each profile is of a contrasting context than the others, and together they form a beautiful mosaic of thought, courage, and intellect. This body of work would make an excellent gift to a young mind in bloom.

This collection of stories is worthy of Bruce Coville's name on the cover. I loved all of the stories, especially "The Fourth Wish." I recommend it to anyone that loves fantasy and magic, like I do! As usual, Bruce Coville has outdone himself.

I absolutly fell in love with this book. The only story I didn't like was "Winwood Rose" and that was only because it made me too sad. "The Fourth Wish" was both thought provoking and thoughtful. And when I need hope I read "Visions," "The Wonderworm," or "Phoenix Farm." Bruce Coville's own stories, "Wizard's Boy" and "Watch Out!" are very cool. It makes you think. I adore this book.

Despite its small size, this book has a wealth of information on one of Bruce Lee's most famous techniques. If you want to learn Bruce Lee's One-Inch Punch, I would wholeheartedly recommend this book.

Classical Wing Chun has a technique called the One-Inch Punch, but don't confuse it with the One-Inch Punch taught in this book. Throughout the book, the technique is refered to as the "Floating Punch" to avoid confusion. While the One-Inch Punch of classical Wing Chun is designed as a type of shocking blow, the Floating Punch is much more of a destructive blast.

In addition to showing the actual technique in depth, the book also covers the physical and mental development that helps maximize the potential of the punch. At around 30 pages, this book may seem rather thin, but every page is absolutely packed with valuable information. Anyone who _reads the instructions_ in this book and _spends some time practicing_ will develop a strong floating punch rather quickly.

At around five bucks, anyone can afford to put this book in their martial arts library.

A really execellent read. A small but potent book.Be warned the one inch power punch, once mastered, must be used with sparingly and with discretion. After becoming a master of the science of powerpunch I was assaulted. I utilised the 'one inch' variant upon my attacker, I was severly beaten. However the book has some good pictures of slightly ridiculous behavior AND contains some Secret Bruce Wisdom, from the author who 'actually knew Bruce'. Enjoy.

Bruce Lee was his own man.he had so much style&smoothness about him.this book highlights his world in front of the public&behind it.very detailed&very upfront.you get a very insightful look into his world&vision.a man who forever changed the world with his talent&craft.a man who was trying to make sense of his surroudings&the things that were in placed around him.He will never be forgotten.

What an intimate look at the man behind the image! The book is highly visual--the text is very limited--but the photos are like none that I've ever seen in other books on Lee. I'm talking about the baby pictures of Bruce and Brandon, photos of Lee from behind the scenes in his movies (a kind of spooky one of him and Sharon Tate from what must have been just before she was killed), and pictures of he and his wife just sitting on the couch at home. It makes you realize that there's a man and father behind the superhero that appears in his films. I loved it.

This is the best biography I've read about Lee. Bruce Lee's wife captures the intensity of this very gifted man. He was truly incredible. I thought this might be a "gloss over" because she is writing about her husband, but she chose to tell the good, the bad, and the ugly. After finishing this very fast read, you will have a much better, balanced picture of an extraordinarly talented martial artist. Lee was a perfectionist bordering on fanaticism. He was born with several gifts that enhanced his performance: superior reflexes, extended reach, etc. He took the best from many different fighting styles and combined them into a martial philosophy that was ahead of it's time. Lee hated the "style trap" so many martial artists fall into. "Use what works, discard the rest." So said Bruce Lee.

Super book by Linda Lee about Bruce Lee's Life! I gave a book report in my grammer class in 1973 and then shortly after that I began my own Martial arts training. Buying books and magazines and learning everything about his martial art called called Jeet Kune Do: The Way of the Intercepting Fist!

This book was amazingly great. It was my favorite book and it is the kind of book you can read over and over again. I would recomend it to absolutely anyone. This book is the best book in the world. This is a fine peice of liderature. It provides all the facts you could possilbly want and some ideas for first time chewers. You will learn amazing and practical facts you can use everyday. It was glorious, wonderful, clever, made you want to keep reading.
