Mollies.......2006-03-22

I found this book to be very helpful being that I am new to keeping Mollies. Since reading this my fish seem much healthier.

GENERAL OVERVIEW.......2005-02-11

This book lacks specifity such as not giving exact parameters
for water/breeding conditions, i.e the book states "mollies in general prefer their ph on the alkaline side of the ph scale."
No exact figure is given & for the beginner in particular this could present a problem. This book appears to be old but I cannot confirm this as there is no publishing date listed.
There are also too many photos which would be wonderful if this were an aquarium picture gallery but the photo space could have been better used to supply more detailed info.

Mollies.......2002-03-16

This book has excellent photos of different types of mollies. The pictures were bold and beautiful. Some of the best I have seen of fish. The text is very large and with all of the photos this does not leave a whole lot of room for information. The information it gave was helpful but I was looking for more.

Mollies- Mollies- Mollies: All You Need To Know In One Place.......2000-04-13

For my birthday several months ago I recieved a 20 gallon aquarium. After looking at fish from several stores I decided to buy several different kinds of mollies. I would like to breed them eventually. I looked all over for a book specifically about Mollies. Most books give you general information about all kinds of fish. I read many books, but did not feel like I was getting all the information needed. Finally, I found this book! It has given me so much valuable information on these beautiful and fun fish. For Example, Mollies like a warmer tank and a bit of salt to keep them healthy and because of this it is better to keep them in a dedicated tank. Information from setting up a tank they like, disease and how to treat it naturally, breeding, raising fry, and other extremely valuable information. All on Mollies! And the pictures. OOOHHH ! ! ! They show beautiful pictures of Sailfins, Lyretails, Balloons in variations of colors. The pictures are high quality close-ups, no fuzzies ! They are absolutely beautiful. I even discovered a few new colors I want to get like the Chocolate and Red-Splash. I could go on, but let's just say if you want a book to give you the information you need on Mollies, THIS IS IT!

novice book.......2001-11-28

when starting out in aquaria, interests widen and curiosity can get one in trouble. impulse buying is normal and questions arise with every passing day. this book is a quick reference and easily affordable (5 stars) for that first time catfish purchase. everyone graduates to the larger and more in depth books but this is a great starter reference!

This book tried to cover alot but covered very little........1999-01-18

This was a interesting book that gave some information but missed the mark by trying to much with to little.It is a good reveiw of some common species and touches on some which are never seen or can not be found.All in all it was of very little use.Plus alot of the information was in question or was contrary to other publications.

A MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR DOWN 1964 MEMORY LANE.......2001-03-26

I love this book. I really do. This work is a collection of first rate photographs and wonderful anecdotes about the early career of the Beatles. Reading old articles and being regaled with these stories is a delightful vicarious experience. It is like hopping on board the Magical Mystery Tour (a 1967 classic) and taking a trip down 1964 Memory Lane. I love it!

It is fun to read of the Beatles' early days; 1964 has rightfully been hailed as the Year of the Beatles and Ed Sullivan took his place in TV history when the Beatles performed live on his show in 1964 and again in 1965. This book is such plain good fun. It is sure to cheer up, brighten and bring smiles to the faces of those who read it.

I give it 5 stars, two thumbs up and a hearty YEAH, YEAH, YEAH!

Belinda's Dream, Katy Road Pink and Georgetown Tea, the names alone evoke images of glorious cottage gardens and arching trellises laden with perfumed blossoms. In this revised edition, rose expert Bill Welch updates the latest information and top sources for antique roses.

Customer Reviews:

Start with this book if you are interested in old roses........2002-05-05

As a horticulturist and landscape designer, I am asked to do seminars on antique and old garden roses. I always recommend this book as an additional source of information. It gives a lot of good information on propagation, care, and recommended varieties. Especially valuable is his list of roses in the back of the book with suggested landscape uses. This book won't disappoint you.

Good News and Bad News.......2001-12-29

The good news is that this book identifies antique roses that are not seen that often and has some very good pictures of them. There is also some interesting discussion about how some of these roses were found and identified by hobbyists. The bad news is that I was expecting a lot more information on husbandry. For example, there are only two pages in the book dedicated to growing antique roses in containers, but there are no less than 52 pages (about half the narrative of the book, discounting the rose list in the back) dedicated to indoor flower arrangements with roses, drying and preserving roses in displays, etc., which has absolutely no interest to me. I'd recommend this book as a supplemental reference on antiques, relying on other sources for care information.

should be titled Antique Roses for South Texas.......2000-01-08

I thought the book would address more than the South Texas Area. Rather misleading title- It is difficult to find information on roses that do well in zones 6-9.Too many pages devoted to flower arranging and potpourri making.

Wonderful book for southern gardens........1999-04-14

This was a great book, full of information specifically geared toward the south. It was great to see a book full of roses that can thrive in the southern climate. Though I am a beginner at gardening, and especially antique rose gardening, I felt there was lots of information here for the experienced gardener as well. This book has been a great reference tool, as well as one that is a joy to just look at.

Best guide to choosing old roses for hot climates.......1998-03-22

Great source for information on choosing roses for hot weather areas, including blooming times and frequency. Especially informative about antique Teas and Chinas.

Book Description

Lucian's Alexander the False Prophet is the only literary testimony to a highly influential cult of the `New Asclepios Glycon' which, as archaeological evidence continues to document, spread all over the eastern Mediterranean basin throughout the second and third centuries AD. This book offers an analysis of the complete manuscript tradition, a newly constituted text and a German translation. The extensive introduction deals with (1) the archaeological evidence, (2) the question of Lucian's historical reliability, (3) the reasons for Lucian's opposition to the oracle of Abonuteichos, (4) the institutions and the teaching of the cult at Abonuteichos. Furthermore, there is a commentary on all philological and historical questions and on those issues relevant to the history of religions. Lucian's Alexander is not one of his satirical bravuras, but a strikingly successful attempt at writing a work of contemporary history - a practical example of what the author himself has theoretically discussed in his work, How to Write History.
