    1 out of 5 stars This is just a very basic book about cats.......2005-07-11

    This is just a generic book about cats, not breed specific, except for the photos. they wrote a cat book template, and just typed in the word "Burmese" as opposed to some other breed, whenever applicable. Don't but it if you already know about cats, and are trying to get info on the Burmese.

    3 out of 5 stars Decent Book on the Burmese Breed.......2004-01-24

    This book would mostly be of interest to someone who is unfamilar with the burmese breed. It has sound and informative information about burmese and cats in general, but it is definately at the "novice" level. The pictures are better than most (most pet books seem to have terribly unflattering pictures of burmese) and it is laid out well.

    If you are new to the burmese breed, this book is a good start.

    1 out of 5 stars Non-specific Cat Book.......2002-12-17

    I bought this book from Amazon in good faith that it was specifically about Burmese cats. It is not! It is a book about cats in general, with the only Burmese-specific selling point being all its pretty pictures. And while the pictures are quite nice, I found they alone were not sufficient in replacing actual knowledge about Burmese cats. I wanted to learn about this particular breed, not just read very general cat facts that can easily be found in any sort of cat book. If you're going to buy this book -- don't! You can find alot more good information about Burmese cats (for free) by conducting internet searches.

    5 out of 5 stars Very informative and the best Burmese book I've seen........1999-11-02

    Even if you're a Burmese addict from way back and feel you know all there is to know about this breed this book is still a must for the library at home. The only shock I had was how 'squashed in' some of the faces of the American Burmese were, personally I felt they looked like aliens but each to their own (they don't look like this in New Zealand or Australia). The Blue on the cover has the same features as my little girl so that was the clincher in buying the book. You won't be disappointed in the content and it's such a good price. Well done.

      2 out of 5 stars Substitute the name "Burmese" for any cat.......2007-04-03

      Although books about particular cats/pets are rare and appreciated, I'm afraid this book gave me no further insight into my Burmese cat. Perhaps I am asking too much but I expected to find a plethora of special insights into this special breed. I didn't.
      Especially in modern cat care I felt this book lacking. My breeders says: Fresh meat three times a week; chicken wings (raw) at least twice for dental hygiene, vary the diet, enjoy the peculiarly dog like characteristics of the Burmese. But mabe that's all asking too much - gotta go, Nero is bringing his beloved yellow wash cloth for retrieval...
      It is hard to criticise a book that describes the best breed of cat on earth. Let's all write one!

      5 out of 5 stars Wonderful pictures!.......1999-07-22

      I liked how there was an equal mixture of the traditional, contemporary, and moderate styles without editorializing. Clear, concise, and good pictures!

                  Description:
                  Degradation of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) in aqueous solution by Fenton's reagent (Fe^2^+ and H"2O"2) was investigated. Effects of reaction conditions on the oxidation efficiency of MTBE by Fenton's reagent were examined in batch experiments. Under optimum conditions, 15 mM H"2O"2, 2 mM Fe^2^+, pH 2.8 and room temperature, the initial 1 mM MTBE solution was reduced by 99% within 120 min. Results showed that MTBE was decomposed in a two-stage reaction. MTBE was first decomposed swiftly based on a Fe^2^+/H"2O"2 reaction and then decomposed somewhat less rapidly based on a Fe^3^+/H"2O"2 reaction. The detection of Fe^2^+ also supported the theory of the two-stage reaction for the oxidation of MTBE by Fenton's reagent. The dissolved oxygen in the solution decreased rapidly in the first stage reaction, but it showed a slow increase in the second stage with a zero-order kinetics. A reaction mechanism involving two different pathways for the decomposition of MTBE by Fenton's reagent was also proposed. Chemicals including tert-butyl formate, tert-butyl alcohol, methyl acetate and acetone were identified to be the primary intermediates and by-products of the degradation processes.

                          West Coast gardening guru Ann Lovejoy has gained a significant following, and deservedly so--she's a gifted teacher, a lyrical writer, and a passionate advocate of organic solutions to even the most daunting garden problems. Her Organic Garden Design School is meant for readers who still consider themselves students, but who are serious enough to "move beyond the beginner stage." A 36-page workbook concludes this glossy, lavishly illustrated volume. Workbook assignments include "Drawing a Map," "Testing Soil," and "Minding Your Mulch."

                          As a designer of gardens that are faithful to the natural world and don't require too much pruning or artificial control, Lovejoy invents her own terms. Her style resembles English gardening, except she warns against the nostalgic impulse many gardeners fall into, determined to create gardens from another era or another country. Lovejoy's an advocate of "gardening where you live," not forcing a dream of another place onto the landscape. She emphasizes native plants, designing around slopes or flaws, working with shade or sunlight as they appear. Perhaps most instructive are her "five senses" of the garden: the sense of welcome, enclosure, and entry, flow, and place. "Rather than physical attributes," she writes, "these are more subtle aspects that give each garden its own flavor and character." --Emily White

                          Book Description

                          An organic gardener all her life and a garden writer for more than 15 years, Ann Lovejoy began her foray into gardening by growing vegetables and herbs but soon branched out into making ornamental gardens as well. Today, her gardens combine plants of all kinds, edible and beautiful, in carefully arranged communities. Her garden designs and plantings echo the layers found in nature. Ann groups plants with similar needs, according to their roles in their native habitats, and encourages cooperative relationships between people and plants.In these pages, you'll celebrate the beauty of Ann's gardens and discover how to apply her organic design principles to your garden. You'll learn how to create healthy, self-sufficient gardens that are easy to care for, ecologically sound, and enduringly beautiful. Ann's own gardens contain thousands of plants, yet they require only a few hours a week to maintain. She started her garden school to help gardeners learn how to make satisfying, sustainable gardens like hers. Ann shares a lifetime's worth of gardening experience and teaches you how to transform your site, large or small, into a naturalistic garden filled with healthy plants.Along with the fundamental design principles that apply to every garden, you'll discover techniques and ideas for moving beyond the basics. You'll learn how to use space wisely, design interior flow patterns, choose regionally appropriate plants, and create an ambiance and mood in your garden that reflects your personal style. Ann also addresses practical questions that emerge as gardeners move past the beginner stage. The hands-on workbook section contains exercises to guide you through the process of designing a garden to suit your needs, helps you evaluate your site to maximize its potential, and offers valuable advice on creating plant combinations.Ann Lovejoy creates gardens with solid organic principles in mind: Make great soil and your plants will grow well. Create healthy, ecologically sound plant communities, and they will take care of themselves. She is frequently asked how she gardens so successfully. This book is her answer.

                          5 out of 5 stars clearly written.......2002-09-14

                          I have enjoyed using this book as a good reference for my growing garden. Lovejoy's style is clear, she provides some worksheets in the back of the book, which I found helpful. I also noted her 'voice' in the book is not haughty or stuffy - she is friendly, and clear, which as an avid reader of garden books, I found refreshing. Her ideas are both simple and logical. I love this book.

                          2 out of 5 stars Poorly organized but good information.......2002-05-27

                          Since I'm currently resolved to redesign my yard in the interests of increasing its ecological value and decreasing required maintenance, this "organic garden design school" SEEMED like the perfect book for me. And there is a lot of good information in here, about design considerations, planting tips, etc, some of which I've found nowhere else, and which have made the book worthwhile to me. HOWEVER, winnowing that information from the book was not very easy. Though the title suggests this is a textbook, it is really a long series of 1- or 2-page rambles about one or another aspect of the author's experience gardening her own yard (and one other yard). This work is poorly edited and organized, and there is a huge emphasis on just those two examples of garden design. To apply the lessons of this book myself, I needed more than anecdotes from two situations unlike my own. I needed some generally stated design principles, as well as some very specific techniques (e.g. how to build raised beds like the author's). While this information is in there, and some of it is quite illuminating, those gems occur nearly randomly within the 1- or 2-page rambles. If the book was titled something like "Design Thoughts," perhaps I wouldn't be so disappointed, but a "school" and a "guide," with all the clarity those words suggest, this book is not. A workbook section at the end of the book makes up for this by finally providing the reader with a definite guide for action. But it would have been a much more of a "school" and a "guide" if the workbook had been integrated into the chapters, rather than tacked on at the end.

                          5 out of 5 stars An excellent guide for all gardening levels.......2001-05-19

Using space wisely, choosing native plants, and creating a garden mood are all covered in an excellent guide for all gardening levels.

                          5 out of 5 stars Excellent guide to organic gardening and design.......2001-04-02

                          The author teaches garden design classes near Seattle, Washington and shares her outlines here. She is a strong advocate of naturalistic gardening and encourages gardeners to seek out the native plants growing in their particular area and use them to their greatest advantage in an entirely organic way. She begins by discussing the principles of design with the "five senses of the garden" (welcome, enclosure, entry, flow, and place) and continues with other design principles such as "green architecture" (elements of the garden such as plants and structures), creating natural backdrops, "sandwich gardening" (intermingling plants in the same location), and using combinations and vignettes. Other informative sections focus on paths and walkways, layering plants to scale, and problem-solving. Helpful charts list specific plants for certain situations. The last third of the book focuses on maintenance and offers clearcut advice and instructions on mulching, composting, etc. Included at the end of the volume is a 34-page workbook for readers to list plant choices, set goals, and create their own garden plan.
