Book Description
Does your puppy chew everything in sight?
*
Do you get frustrated when your dog won't obey you?
*
Do you ever wonder if you could be doing more to keep your dog healthy?
If you've answered yes to any of these questions, don't worry. There is no such thing as the perfect owner -- or the perfect dog. When things go wrong with your pet, all you need is a little love, a lot of patience, and the right information.
In this practical resource, expert pet writers Mordecai Siegal and Matthew Margolis offer simple, effective solutions for many of the problems that crop up when caring for a dog. Each chapter focuses on a particular issue -- from training and housebreaking to basic health care, feeding, grooming, and toys -- making it easy for you to find answers when you need them. Especially helpful is a chapter on understanding and correcting all kinds of bad behavior. Here, you'll learn that your behavior as an owner can make all the difference between a hard-to-handle pet and an obedient one.
For the thousand and one things that come up every day with your dog, Solutions is the guide you need to help you give the best care to your best friend.

Book Description
Tin toy mania! Now that computer games have come to stay, tin toys have become obsolete for today's children. For those of us who remember them from times past, these tin toys can transport us back to our childhoods; they call up a vision of a time we thought we had already forgotten. They also bear witness to history; they have survived wars and crises, and tell us something of the fashions, colors and tendencies of their times.
This book will be of special interest to anyone fascinated by early space travel and technology, those who simply want to wax nostalgic about a bygone era of their youth, and of course to collectors and fans of 50s and 60s tin toys. The roots of today's toys can be seen in these precursors, notably in the early transformer robots. Taken from collector Teruhisa Kitahara's vast collection, which is on display in many museums in Japan, the tin toys featured here are quite rare and give a wonderful overview of this era in the history of toys. A must for any toy lover!
Customer Reviews:
Imagination: The Last Frontier.......2006-04-20
Kitahara's world famous tin toy collection has been photographed many times, and featured in very small paperbacks and large coffee table spreads. This is probably the happy medium; a very inexpensive, large (nearly 350 pages) and visually inviting photoessay that lets the toys speak for themselves.
As many books as there are on tin toy robots, they nearly all feature the same collections, and so the photography and presentation become paramount. Taschen has often featured Kitahara's museum(s) but never to better effect than in this inexpensive volume. Kitahara's collection also includes non-space themed tin toys, but this book concentrates on the robots and space toys from the '50s and '60s when Japan brought unbridled creativity and unparalleled design to tin toys.

Trelliss, Arbor & Pergolas: Idea and Plans for Garden Structures.......2006-11-12
Good information on the different aspects of building the various landscape structures.
Great idea and how-to book.......2005-05-22
My husband and I had a landscape plan drawn up that included a pergola. Since my husband rebuilt part of our fence, he wanted to tackle the pergola himself. So, I bought him this book and he really loved it.
The beginning of the book shows a variety of ideas for trellises, arbors and pergolas. Even if you're not going to build it yourself, the photos, drawings, and descriptions of styles may help you select or design one that you like and fits your house/yard. My favorite idea from the book was a trellis that goes over the garage door - what a neat idea!
The next section of the book has all the necessary instructions and shows you how to build a number of these structures. This could come in handy if you decide to build it yourself.
Section three offers some suggestions for plants that will climb up structure.
The final portion of the book goes over the different types of tools you may need for your project. There are also drawings and descriptions to help the novice learn the basic building and wood-working skills needed for these projects.
Although we haven't started our pergola yet, I'm sure this book will come in handy. We've definitely been enjoying looking through it to see what kind we might want!

Long has written a friendly, conversational book about bentwood garden accessories, some fantastic, others prosaic or elegantly simple. In nine main chapters, he covers selecting wood, making a basic trellis, more elaborate and decorative trellis designs, bentwood gates, bentwood fences, arbors, and trellises made without bentwood. He discusses the selection of plants for your structures, and finally, adds a chapter on simply enjoying your bentwood structures, even going so far as to include a few yummy recipes for muffins, teas, and shortbread to savor in your newly created garden environment!
The techniques outlined by Long can be easily adapted to your own individual designs and creative ideas. As Bertha Reppert, the founder of the Rosemary House, says, "I shall never look at plant prunings the same way again." Bentwood garden structures offer a natural, eye-pleasing alternative to plastics and mass-manufactured garden installations, making use of the garden itself to generate construction materials that might otherwise end up burned or in a landfill. --Mark A. Hetts

Recycle that brush!.......2006-02-25
This book gives good directions and shows many attractive ideas. I am going to try a living fence and some supports for pole beans in the garden-that should be much prettier than the metal posts and twine I used last year.
A Book for Dreaming and Doing.......2000-03-26
If you love the romantic look of twig trellises, arbors, gates and fences (not to mention wattling), this is the book for you! Using raw materials that most people have or can get for free (and Jim Long tells how to do this, too), the reader is led through the step-by-step process to make a variety of pictured designs.
Long also tells what tools and materials you need, how to make a work space, how to construct the basic trellis, and how to install it (including securing it in the ground). There's even a chapter on selecting plants for your new trellis. Best of all, Long reveals the trick for actually getting your creation to look like the picture (hint: it involves a picnic table).
This is a book for dreaming and doing!
A descriptive detailed book on how to make trellises........1998-07-13
The illustrations were very good as a first time person to trellis making, I found this book very exciting. The author made it simple for people to follow and do the project. I liked the detail he gave for making each project. Making arches to gates for your flower garden, they are all nice pieces of art. He tells also what is great to grow on the trellises. Thanks

BEST I'VE SEEN.......2003-06-16
We're always on the lookout for great ideas for our garden. We have high standards and live in an executive neighborhood, so we look for quality and distinctive projects. This book has great ideas with well drawn plans and instructions.
We built a gothic trellise this weekend. There's not another like it in town. It looks great. Fresh from this success, I'm headed to Home Depot to pick up wood for two other projects--a formal entryway and a simple lattice design to cover an electric meter. Thanks for the great work putting this unique book together.

Customer Reviews:
Some Very Nice Ideas.......2006-03-07
Contains some great ideas and super pictures of finished products, but gives much less information on how to construct the mid to large arbor projects that I was looking to do. It also is more of an intermediate to expert carpenter project book; I suspect most high intermediate and expert builders could easily take any of the ideas here and run with them. I, being somewhat of a novice carpenter, was looking for something a little more "by the numbers" for the arbors I would like to build. However, I am using the step by step trellis plans for one of the simpler trellises and it's very much "by the numbers".
Tablesaw required.......2003-12-30
The projects in this book are well written with detailed instructions. The only caveat is that they all seem to require a table saw. The author assumes that you will make all the stock by cutting materials down to size on a table saw. It would have been more helpful if somewhere in the book he discussed alternative strategies for those without immediate access to a table saw. Or had a range of projects that did not all have exactly the same set of required tools.
Overall a good book, but check your tool list before buying.
Great design and construction reference.......2003-11-09
Filled with photographs and very detailed guidance, "Trellises and Arbors" is an excellent book for both design ideas and actual production. This book has more design ideas than most similar books and even has a section on vertical gardening for those of us who like to actually use our trellises for various vines and flowering plants. The book is divided into four primary sections. The first one is a design guide with photographs of various arbors and trellises being used in different settings and for different purposes. Just realizing the possibilities from this section alone makes you want to go out and build one. The second section covers plants and gardening techniques for use with trellises - Virginia Creeper, various ivies, grapes, Wisteria, Passion Flower, Morning Glory, etc. The third section details the various tools, techniques, and materials for the actual construction of arbors and trellises. The fourth details the construction of specific trellises and arbors. Included with each project is a detailed list of the wood needed (quantity, thickness, length, width, and type) and even the number, type, and size of screws. Construction of your project is very detailed and each step is well illustrated so you can't go wrong. It even has lots of tips and tricks that you can use to make sure that the final result is very professional. "Trellises and Arbors" is by far one of the best books on the subject available today. More design ideas than most, illustrations and photographs to guide you every step of the way, comprehensive instructions make this a highly recommended read.
A superbly presented and excellent reference.......2003-03-04
Compiled and presented by home-improvement and woodworking expert Bill Hylton, Trellises & Arbors: Landscape & Design Ideas, Plus Projects is a full-color, "user friendly", how-to guide to building trellises and arbors enhanced with illustrative diagrams and photographs on virtually every page. With its detailed, easy to follow, step-by-step instructions for constructing a variety of different types of trellises and arbors, Trellises & Arbors also offers the do-it-yourself, weekend project enthusiast a wealth of safety tips, guides for tools and materials, aesthetic considerations, and much more. A superbly presented and excellent reference, Trellises & Arbors is very highly recommended for any homeowner looking to enhance his or her garden or backyard.

Customer Reviews:
Trellises and Arbors.......2004-06-02
Really pretty pictures, nice recommendations of possible plants to grow up the trellises, etc., but unless your a master carpenter, or able to use pictures, you'll never build any of them!! There's no diagrams or plans in the entire book!!
Excellent photos and ideas!.......2003-10-17
I really enjoyed this book, being my first Sunset guide to gardening. With all of the excellent photos and drawings it gives you plenty of ideas for building outdoor structures. Granted, it is a short book and you won't be an expert after reading it, but it gives you plenty of information to get started with building beautiful garden trellises and arbors.
disappointed.......2002-06-16
this book is basically a pretty overview of ideas. i expected to see more information on how to construct arbors and or trellises. there were also too many pages devoted to climbing plants for the arbors.
What a Great Book!.......2000-06-04
I've enjoyed countless hours curled up with my well-worn copy of "Trellises and Arbors." It's clearly written with numerous photos and drawings that show the details of construction. It even discusses choices of fasteners, woods, and alternative building materials. It also includes tables to calculate the materials you'll need to use. This book has encouraged me (a construction novice) to begin work on a grape arbor in my back yard.

Excellent photography and reference for Old Roses.......1998-11-21
Wonderful photography and detail description of old and historic roses. Important information on Nurseries and Growers to help find them.
Excellent rose book.......1997-07-30
I took several books on rose gardening from the library and found that this one is the best. The pictures are great, the explicit details are excellent. I have started the rooting procedure and that seems at the moment to be working. The correct amount of time has not elapsed. I highly recommend it to rose novices. The book is so well liked by me that I am going to purchase it

Book Description
In the course of their long history on Iranian soil the Jews of Iran have produced a large body of literature which has been little studied and published. This volume deals with one of the most prominent Jewish poets of Iran, known as bEmrani (1454-1536 C.E.). The book consists of three parts. The first part studies bEmrani's time, life and work and analyzes in depth the poet's last major work entitled Ganj-name (The Book of Treasure). Ganj-name, which is closely modeled after compositions of classical Persian literature, is bEmrani's versified commentary of the ethical tractate of the Mishnah commonly known as Pirqey Abot ("The Chapters of the Fathers"). The second part of the book offers the English translation, annotation and source study of Ganj-name. The third and last part of the book provides a critical edition of Ganj-name.
