Book Description

Bobbi Brinker shares her knowledge and experience with African greys in all of the areas that are important for the pet owner and for the breeder. Bobbi's unsurpassed understanding of the essential African grey is matched only by her ability to convey the information with respect, compassion, and empathy for greys and for the people with whom they share their lives. Bobbi's love and respect for these birds is obvious throughout the book. She offers sound, sensible information in a series of thought-provoking articles. The book represents the author's deep convictions drawn from years of observation and experience hand raising grey babies. Common misunderstandings about African greys are explained clearly and with an inescapable logic. The book contains important and vital information presented in a clear and relevant way for prospective African grey owners. Although the title leads one to conclude this book is exclusively about grey parrots, it is an important guide and reference for owners of all parrot species. Originally published and distributed by the author to aviaries and grey owners, Lucky Press is very proud to have obtained the worldwide English publishing rights to Bobbi Brinker's book and to offer the second edition of For the Love of Greys to the trade and to the public. This latest edition comes with a new, color cover and updated references sure to keep the reader up-to-date on the latest information. Many of the articles in this book have been translated into Italian, Japanese, Russian, and Polish on the World Wide Web. Many of her articles have been reprinted in bird club newsletters, nationally and internationally and offered as educational handouts at conferences and bird fairs. This book and her articles are given by other breeders to their clients to help them better understand and manage their African greys.

      4 out of 5 stars Absolutely charming!.......2005-06-02

      This is an "anthology" unlike any I have ever read before. A total of five authors weave valentine romances about four young ladies and their "chaperone." All the stories take place in the same village of Valentine Parva, at the home of Cressida Trent. Cressida, a widow with a young son, is only thirty-four so there is valentine love in store for her also!

      These lovely low-key romances all occur at the same time and each story mentions incidents that happen to other characters so be prepared to jump back and forth in time (just a little!) until you reach the conclusion of the book.

      As each story is rather short, I will not synopsize each one - that would spoil it. I will tell you that "A Maid at Your Window" by Carola Dunn was my favorite simply because I identified the most with that heroine. But all the stories are delightful and hard to believe they were written by different authors! You will enjoy the young ladies, all with different circumstances and temperaments, Cressida's young son Toby, song-filled canaries and assorted beaus. The men are all diverse too! Highly recommend - one of the few anthologies that reads like a full book.

          John and Bonney make the relationship mystery much clearer in their book Becoming Soulmates. The ideas are easy to understand, very effective and have had a lasting effect on how I relate to people. By understanding what's behind the struggle, it is easier to see new paths to freedom in relationship. This is a "must have" for anyone wanting a soul-full relationship.

          As a business coach much of my work focuses on developing genuine and enhancing relationships. "Becoming Soulmates" provides surprisingly refreshing insights and simple steps for creating fulfilling relationships not only in your personal life but your professional life as well.

          "Becoming Soulmates" goes the extra mile by identifying the challenges we encounter in relationships as well as providing simple and extremely valuable strategies you can work with to create relationships that continue to grow and enhance you.

              God Loves India is a compelling story of adventure and love. Step into the exotic land of India, with its population of a billion people, its elephants and cobras, the Taj Mahal, beggars on the streets, and an ancient caste system coexisting with emerging modern technology.

              Here is the inspiring story of two ordinary yet courageous people who were led to India by God and who believe that nothing is impossible with Him. As their story unfolds, you'll witness how they helped create radical changes and hope in the lives of millions, bringing them the love of God and the liberating Gospel of Jesus Christ.

              God Loves India-and you also will come to love the people of this fascinating, complex country as you see them through the compassionate eyes of Christ and the ministry of His servants Bill and Joyce Scott.

                If you are a collector of Arts and Crafts Art pottery this book is not for you. Of the many collectible potteries for this movement (i.e. Rookwood, Grueby, Weller, Hull, Tiffany, Pewabic, Teco, Newcomb, Ohr, Chelsea, Fulper, Roseville and Van Briggle) only two (Roseville and Van Briggle) are included in this book.

                My copy is dogg-earred, stained and marked-up. I've identified alot pieces of pottery with this trusty book I've always felt confident in it's information and price list. Please Mr. Duke another one.

                1 out of 5 stars Seems to need update on prices, catagories are incomplete.......1998-10-27

                The priceing seems to be below other publications. His listings are incomplete, not all items shown. The drawings are rough and are hard to make out.

                3 out of 5 stars Valuable content. Needs values updated and many more pix!.......1998-07-07

                I have used this guide for nearly a year and find the content very useful in my business. The histories of the various pottery firms are fascinating and help make sense to a very crowded collectable field. It's time for the price information to be updated and the book should be split into two volumes for easier handling and reading. The main dissapointment (and why the book lost two stars in my rating) is the lack of color photographs. Mr. Duke (and his publisher) would have a home run if they would include extensive color photographs of each line of each manufacturer to aid in identification. Yes, it would cost more, but the market would support it. Take a look at Huxford's Fiestaware guide as a good example.

                I thought the pictures were beautiful in this book, but they didn't really show as much detail of the actual knitting as I would like. I don't think there is much in here that I'll actually knit, but I'd still recommend it for the inspiration.

                4 out of 5 stars Dreamy Stuff For Mostly Knitters.......2007-06-24

                I bought this book for the dressing gown pattern. I will never make it, because it drags on the ground, and will be full of dog hair the minute I put it on. But, I can dream, can't I?
                The title almost scared me off, because I have bought knitting and crochet books that have had more crochet than knitting. This one seems to be the other way around, so I should warn crocheters. Knitters may love it, though.
                There are quite a few patterns of varying difficulty, and the yarns called for are mostly Rowan. The designer incorporates beads and into several of the patterns that would otherwise be very plain, making easy to knit desings look special.
                I would say, for the price, this is a very good book.

                3 out of 5 stars Beautiful patterns, not for newbies.......2007-06-04

                I bought this book specifically for the "Butterfly Dress" pattern. While the other patterns are pretty, many are highly impractical. The photography is beautiful, but redundant. There are 3 photos of this dress, but they are all exactly the same. Seems a waste of space. I'd prefer more angles rather than 3 of the exact same photo.

                Also, this book is not for newbies. The patterns contain errors (specifically there is an error in the Butterfly Dress chart) and some things (ie decreasing in lace) are left to the knitter to figure out. My biggest problem with this book is that errata is impossible to find, even with a very thorough Google Search.

                4 out of 5 stars A beautiful book, but only worth it if there is something that you really want to knit.......2007-03-10

                In my case, I wanted the Butterfly dress pattern, and you can either buy this book or a copy of Rowan 37, and they cost about the same. True to Rowan style, the patterns are generally well written and made for a knitter who is buying the pattern(s) not looking for a knitting book with instructions. Although some patterns are appropriate for beginners, there aren't many first projects here, mostly because of the emphasis on "romantic" styles which translates to patterned stitches.

                Some of the projects written here are obviously gorgeous, but highly impractical: namely the "dressing gown" made with size 8 needles and taking 18 balls of Rowan Kid Classic. However, there are some really nice patterns that are highly wearable, such as the Chevron pullover. Mostly, the book is true to giving you a good vocabulary of the kinds of garments which might be "Romantic" styles, and geared for the knitter who is looking to add some interest to their regular knitting repetoire. There are projects incorporating beads and also a good mini-primer on crocheted picot edging, something which you could add to any knitting project to given it a romantic feel.

                It is a worthwhile book to have, like I said, if there is at least one or two projects you definitely want to make, as Rowan does not sell their patterns separately. Besides, as to the impractical - the title of book is subtitled: Knits and Crochet to Wear OR Display.

                3 out of 5 stars Iffy.......2007-02-14

                Very pretty and very Rowan. I love their stuff. Well, sometimes they do play up the English eccentric thing a little too much, and their last mag was full of mostly unwearable stuff, but I digress. For shame, Rowan, and the publishers - why should I have to buy the book to find out that many of the patterns have been published before? There should be a warning. If you've bought rowan's magazines, then you have at least a quarter of these patterns. If you haven't, you're fine. That is, if you like impractical knitting. A lot of this is gorgeous but a little bit ridiculous. How many people are prepared to spend ages knitting gorgeous hanger covers with very fine yarn on skinny needles - when their work is going to be covered by clothes? Same with the bolster cover. Then there's a lovely dressing gown, which would be great for my home country but hopeless for centrally heated winters, as it's made in R's kid classic. ie wool and mohair. Would probably weigh a ton too.

                Anyway, I have it, it's very pretty, and I like the section which gives a few crochet motifs, but that's about it.

                5 out of 5 stars Outstanding Resource!!.......2003-08-01

                Worth every dime!!! Anita Rui Olds has incredible insight into creating environments that are reflective of children and their interests. She believes that a child care setting should have "spirit." Included are Reggio-type environmental solutions that create a sense of wonder with an architecturally aesthetic sensibility. Lots of great ideas packed into this book. Only regret is that the pictures are too small and not in color. Would have been worth extra [$$] to have an expanded edition.

                5 out of 5 stars Essential Resource.......2002-02-18

                This is a terrific and necessary resource for anyone involved with the design or renovation of a child care setting. The author has clearly and concisely poured into the book her considerable knowledge and understanding of child care facilities, her passionate beliefs, and her attention to the details of good design. Her knowledge of child development is evident in all of her ideas.

                5 out of 5 stars The best.......2002-01-05

                This must be the best book that exist about designing Child Care Center. It covers everything, but the most important is the focus the autor made on the children. This book is a must for every architect or people interested in design of this kind of buildings, specially if he/she is really interested in children well being.
                The only but is that for the quality of its content, this book deserves a better paper and color pictures. (a 0 star here for MacGrow-Hill).
                Probably this book is call to change the way a day care is seen today.

                5 out of 5 stars Long awaited, exceeds expectations.......2000-12-25

                Preeminent authority on design for child care, Anita Rui Olds consummated a lifetime of deep concern and research into the needs of children with the publication of this magnum opus. Lavish use of illustrations--photos, sketches, floor plans, and examples--and attractive layout support Ms. Olds's incisive text to create a remarkably accessible book. Many hundreds of child care professionals and architects who have studied under Ms. Olds will recognize and welcome this work as the summation of the concepts that placed the author at the forefront of her field.

                More and more children are in institutional care and, "in search of a model," day care typically happens in society's "leftover" spaces, church basements, warehouses, and places intended for adults. This book will help anyone committed to doing better for our children to "see that young children are raised in nurturing, spirited settings that honor their precious young souls." (from the introduction)

                The book's only drawback is technical as the reproduction of photographs is of disappointing quality.

                Tragically, Anita Olds did not live to see this book published. We can be thankful that she left it for us, full of her passion for children. In its use we will honor her spirit as we effect her designs.

                  This book is pretty good. It explains the different color wheels, how we see color, value, saturation, harmony, and so much more. It is pretty thorough and easy to read. I recommend this book for anyone needing to understand color theory.
