I bought this book at a writing seminar for teachers. It is a delightful Christmas story to share in your classroom or with your own children. The Humbugs are adorable little bug like creatures who try to test the strength of your Christmas spirit. It's about having Christmas spirit and how it can't be crushed because of the things it represents. It's a terrific and timeless tale!

Easy-to-follow recipes. DELICIOUS and not "out-of-the-ordinary" ingredients (except the noodles for chap-chae). I just visit my local Oriental Foods Korean store and pick up the needed things. I find the recipes simple and not too time-consuming, either. I have tried many Korean cookbooks, and like this one THE BEST. (Actually, the Lerner cookbook series from other ethnicities are excellent, too.)

Try the Chap-chae, the bulgogi (or pulgogi) and the fish patties. Excellent!

I happened upon this book in the library and took it home with me. It has 70 pages and includes about 24 recipes, with many photos of different foods. It is one of those books that you pick up and immediately like the way it looks. The recipes are easy to read and instructions are fairly simple. That same day I took it home, I tried the recipe for Lemon Chicken Soup, which only required 9 separate ingredients,and none difficult to find. I have made plenty of thai soups and none came close to what I would get at a thai restaurant. I didn't expect a whole lot out of this recipe as it was simple to prepare, but when I tasted it, it was the best thai style soup I had ever made. I couldn't believe it was one of the easiest to make,but the best tasting. I then went on to try the thai fried rice. Their recipe includes using pork or tofu, but I just left those out. Once again, the ingredient list was simple and the technique not at all hard. The cayenne pepper was what made it nice and spicy and it was an easy and quick recipe to make. I made it twice in the 2 weeks I had the book. There was also a Panaeng Beef Curry recipe which I had to try. I can't say mine came out as good as I hoped, but it may have been because I used lite coconut milk instead of the regular, the sauce was thinner that I would have expected. Nevertheless I copied the recipe down and will try it again with nice fatty coconut milk. In the end, I copied onto 3x5 cards several recipes and think this book was a great find. I only wish they had more recipes in it.

this is not only a complete list of all the modern birds of the world, but a revision based on dna testing by the authors sibley and monroe. This offers a new taxonomy of the worlds birds with many startling changes. It is a fascinating and comprehensive work. those educated on the wetmore and amadon classification will have to reeducate themselves.

This long out-of-print anthology of pre-Smithian writings is a treasure. It contains selections from Aristotle, Xenophon, Aquinas, Oresme, Molinaeus, Bodin, Serra, Mun, von Hornick, Cantillon, Galiani, Hume, Quesnay, Turgot, and von Justi. Each of these writers covers the sprectrum of ideological thought ranging from statism, or proto-mercantilism, to non-statism, or proto-libertarian. The only criticism that I can make about this book is that many of the selections are actually excerpts and not the entire essay or treatise. That said, this would still be an invaluable tool if you are interested in the history of economic thought. That is if you can find a copy.

California and Oregon coasts are homes to much hidden beauties and treasures. The Point Reyes National Seashore is just one of the hidden pearls. "Exploring Point Reyes" is by far the most updated, complete, and enthusiastic guide to the seclusive peninsula about 25 miles northwest of San Francisco. Many Point Reyes guide books I found at the bookstore are outdated though they contribute an abundance of information.

"Exploring Point Reyes" refreshes the minds of those who dream of Point Reyes. The guide come with photos of Drakse Estero, Tomales Bay, the Point Reyes Lighthouse standing 330 steps down the valley on the tip of the peninsula, and more. The impact of Point Reyes is most dramatic at the meeting of land and sea. The guide has captured such beauty with the photos.

"Exploring Point Reyes" also provides information and cautionary advice about beaches within the national seashore. The book gives to direction to good protected beach for wading, picnicking, or just lying in the sun. The coverage on the Point Reyes Lighthouse is excellent. One of the greatest location for whale-watching is the lighthouse observation platform from December to April.

"Exploring Point Reyes" also satisfies the desires of adventurous hikers with info on less-known hiking trails. Trail maps are abundant in the book. The coverage on trails is divided into three types of terrain that distinguishes the trail systems of Point Reyes. Whether you're planning a camping trip, a hike-a-thon, or just a one-day photography session at Point Reyes, this book will allow you to see and experience the beauty of the Point Reyes peninsula. Avid hikers should not miss the book.
