                    This is a book about everything you need to know to start right with hamsters. Firstly there is a preface about the hamster itself, then appearance and colour variation. Next is the selection, this tells you where you should go and select a hamster, the best age to get one so you can tame it yourself, how to check whether the hamster you may want to choose is in good physical condition by looking for friendliness, good health, soft sleek fur, bright clear eyes and a general feel of solidity. A wet tail is also a sign of bad health. Then we come into housing, the cage should be deeply padded with a good absorbent material you may use wood shavings or a commercially prepared hamster litter. Try and find a cage equipped with an exercise wheel (for your hamster to get plenty of exercise). Then a page about feeding, how to feed them and what to feed them. Then a few more pages about taming, trainig, breeding, mutations and health. The best bits are the lovely photos of the hamsters and the diagrams because they really explain things properly. The book is well illusrated which children like to see. I recommend this book to people who have firstly got a new hamster and people who are going to get one. It's a book that explains things in large detail, so I think it should be in the age range of 8+. Over-all this book came in rather handy when I first got my hamster.

                      Book Description

                      Linked historically, culturally, and geographically, the counties that make up southwestern Virginia and northeastern Tennessee are also connected by a shared decorative arts tradition. "Great Road Style," so called because of the region's historical importance as a stage route connecting the eastern seaboard with the western frontier, is evidenced in distinctive forms of furniture, ceramics, textiles, and metalwork. Yet until now, the area's rugged geography--and the isolation of its communities--has prevented systematic documentation of its decorative artifacts. With Great Road Style: The Decorative Arts Legacy of Southwest Virginia and Northeast Tennessee, Betsy White takes readers on an engaging tour of an underexplored region's striking material culture, and in doing so fosters a new appreciation of its role in the development of American decorative arts.

                      The first substantive effort to conduct primary research in a largely undocumented territory, the survey upon which this book is based involved thousands of hours' worth of fieldwork conducted across two states in an attempt to offer the most detailed accounting possible of handmade objects produced along the Great Road before 1940. The eventual product of that exhaustive research was an archive of photographs, slides, and data sheets on more than two thousand objects representing diverse sectors of the survey area. In organizing and providing a narrative for this treasure trove of material, White and her research team have defined and delineated for the first time what constitutes Great Road Style.

                      Lavishly illustrated with compelling examples, and including a full listing of the artisans who have been identified to date, Great Road Style is a beautiful and historically informative catalog showcasing the diverse arts and crafts of this region. It will be a valuable resource for collectors, museum curators, antique dealers, and indeed anyone interested in southern culture or the decorative arts.

                      Book Description

                      Extreme Gardening is the quintessential gardening guide to organic gardening against all odds. Written by the well-known gardening guru, the "Garden Guy," David Owens shows the experienced and novice gardener how to grow organic foods in hostile climates (all desert climates) and land. Simple to understand with user-friendly spine, the book covers all topics from watering, design, tools, schedules, fertilizing, companion planting, and soils.

                      The book is easily divided into three main sections-vegetables, fruits and nuts, and controlling extreme pests organically. Each section is full of useful tips such as: each plants nickname; when they are available; how they should be supported; when to plant them; how to properly shade or unshade it; and how to fertilize it, etc. The controlling extreme pests section is broken down into sections by bug name and how to use organic, insect, and sensory-distracting controls.

                      The author, David Owens is a familiar face on local Phoenix television and radio as one of the foremost experts on organic gardening.

                      This is a great book for any gardening endvor using organic means. This autor knows and understands planting for an enviroment that is both beautiful and harsh. I follow his inspiring garden methods using this book and his companion book.

                      5 out of 5 stars One of the best gardening books I have ever read!.......2002-03-22

                      David Owens has written a real winner with this book! He tells us which plants will survive in our harsh desert environment and how to plant and take care of them. The book is easy to follow and I'm having good luck with all the trees and vegetables I have planted using his guidelines.

                      If you thought that gardening was not an option since you moved to the desert you need this book to show you the way!

                      5 out of 5 stars Good tips...not only for Desert Gardeners.......2001-04-08

                      I live in Phoenix and have the opportunity of catching Dave Owens tips for gardening on Channel 3 on a weekly basis. Dave has so many tips for gardening that the only way to harness his knowledge is to purchase this book. I have come to find that these tips work not only for those of us living in the desert, but I pass them along to my Mother in Wyoming, and she has as much success as I do with them. Dave is an extremely knowledgable gardner and his book reflects that, the layout was very thought out and takes you step by step from the "what do I need", to "now I've got what I need, what do I do" stages. Bravo, Dave!

                      Book Description

                      "Clearly, surviving a nine-month jungle kidnapping requires courage and endurance. But Hart Dyke and Winder came equipped with something else in addition: pluck. It's that quality, crackling on every page, that makes The Cloud Garden one of the strangest and most satisfying adventure reads in recent memory."--Men's Journal magazine

                      The Darién Gap, the only break in the Pan-American Highway, is a place of legend. In this almost impregnable strip of swamp, jungle, and cloud forest between the land masses of North and South America, stories of abduction and murder are rife. In recent years, more people have successfully climbed Everest than have crossed the Darién Gap.

                      In 2000, Tom Hart Dyke, a young botanist, set off to Central America with one thing in mind: orchids. To find the rare and beautiful species he so fervently admired, he would have to visit some of the most inhospitable places on earth. At the same time, another young explorer, Paul Winder, was backpacking through the area. Though he sometimes worked freelance in the City of London, Paul was essentially a fearless traveler. Pure chance brought Paul and Tom together in northern Mexico; they formed an instant bond and their fate was sealed.

                      Ignoring a final succinct warning from the Lonely Planet guide--"Don't even think about it!"--Tom and Paul set off into the Darién, Tom in search of orchids, Paul in search of adventure. They would find plenty of each. For six days, they made good progress. Then, just hours away from Colombia, the dream ended and the horror began. Ambushed by FARC guerrillas, they were held hostage for the next nine months. From that day on, their survival was a matter of extraordinary endurance, incredible ingenuity--and not a little good luck . . .

                      4 out of 5 stars True Adventure Fun Read.......2005-06-22

                      The Cloud Garden came to my attention through a review in Outside Magazine. True adventure books make for an excellent break from novels and heavier literary works. This one is a perfect example. The story is gripping, the characters are likeable, and the book is hard to put down. The bad guys are painted honestly and roundly as real people. No one is all good nor all bad. This is a story about survival, wits, humanity and the romantic ideals of adventure of which so many of us dream. Find your synopsis elsewhere.

                      The discoveries made by eccentric British naturalists down through the years have literally turned the scientific community on its ears. But not all exploring trips have yielded spectacular results. In 2000, a young botanist set off to Central America in search of rare and beautiful species of orchids. He met up with another young explorer in northern Mexico. Where else to go but the Darien Gap, the only place where the Pan-American Highway isn't finished.

                      Traveling through the Gap, collecting along the way, they were just hours away from the Colombian border when they were ambushed by FARC guerillas who were to hold them hostage for the next nine months. From then on, their survival was a matter of extraordinary endurance, incredible ingenuity and not just a bit of luck.

                      The book written by this pair is a combination of travelogue, adventure store, and surprisingly not without a bit of humor.

                      I am half way through and I love it, well written, fun, exciting.

                      3 out of 5 stars Interesting story of survival lacks suspense.......2004-10-05

                      The book's topic caught my interest as did a good magazine review. (The copy we purchased from Amazon.com was without pages 118 to 179 so check before you begin to read. Amazon.com was great and sent us a replacement volume which also was missing the same pages. We finally found a bookstore that exchanged it for a correct version.) The story here is about two young men who choose to hike into the guerrilla held The Darien Gap between Panama and Columbia. The gap where there is no longer any Pan-American Highway. At the end of their telling (I'm not giving anything away, after all the authors wrote the book so you know they survived) the authors make the comment that the British press caught on to the story because of Tom Hart Dykes love of flowers. It was the "hook" all newspapers look for in such stories, and that is also the hook they use in telling their story. But your not going to learn much about Orchids from this story is told in parallel first person narrative which centers on their immature decision to tempt fate and danger and then tests their ability to survive. In a strange way the book reminded me of Jon Krakauer's excellent "Into the Wild" about a youth who graduates from College and ends up alone, dead in the wilds of Alaska. Both books share that same desire to decipher why some young males make such choices. Overall I would recommend the book as an interesting first person adventure, but it is strangely lacking suspense and I really was let down that we really learn nothing about the band of guerillas who hold them captive. I certainly missed that insight which is so strong in the novel "Bel Canto".

                      3 out of 5 stars Guns and orchids.......2004-09-23

                      On maps, the Darién Gap doesn't look like a hotbed of armed guerillas. But you have to ask yourself why the Pan-American Highway, which runs otherwise unbroken from Alaska to the bottom of South America, takes its one and only break between Central and South America-at the Darién Gap. The gap's jungles have been effectively off-limits even to the hardiest backpackers for the past 10 years. Guidebooks and Central American officials alike have just two words for it: "Don't go."

                      So why would Tom Hart Dyke and Paul Winder, two well-brought up British lads, disobey so many direct orders and venture into the Darién Gap with nothing but the clothes on their backs and a couple of packs? In their "true story of adventure, survival, and extreme horticulture," The Cloud Garden, Dyke and Winder explain themselves. Dyke's passion is orchids. For him, the untrammeled jungles and wetlands of the Darién Gap represent a botanist's dream-an opportunity to see rare flowers undocumented by any other scientists. Winder, an escapee from a boring bank job, is in search of the ultimate adrenaline rush. The fact that almost no one dares traverse the gap makes it an irresistible challenge. Both adventurers get what they are looking for-and a lot more than the original bargain.

                      Just as Winder and Dyke are about to cross into the relative safety of Columbia, they are kidnapped by a band of FARC guerillas. What follows is a harrowing tale of torture and a fight for survival. The young men know enough Spanish to hear the kidnappers talking matter-of-factly about murdering them on an almost daily basis. For months, Winder and Dyke are marched from one makeshift camp to another-deprived of clean water, threatened and humiliated.

                      Cloud Garden is not, in the end, a travel documentary or an orchid study. Nor do Winder and Dyke take any position on South American politics. Their tale is one of two men figuring out how to make it out of the jungle alive. What makes the book interesting reading is the sense of humor the writers bring to even the most sordid aspects of their capture. While making an outward show of cooperation, Winder and Dyke assign belittling nicknames to their captors, like "Tank Bird," "Space Cadet," "Nutter," and "Lost Cause." When asked for English lessons, they teach their kidnappers obscenities. When the opportunity presents itself, the captive Brits even pee into their tormentors' drinking water. By maintaining an invisible, inner resistance to their capture, the two men keep their high spirits intact, even in the face of constant death threats.

                      But Dyke and Winder emerge, in the end, as more than just adolescent pranksters; they are also incredibly brave. Their kidnappers form the wild notion to ask for $3 million dollars in ransom. Dyke's family could, technically, raise that amount of money and more-by selling Lullingstone Castle in Kent, their ancestral home. When ordered to write home, demanding millions for his return, Dyke writes: "Dear Mum and Dad. Our kidnappers are all idiots. They are a bunch of gits. Give them absolutely nothing. We are well. Don't worry about me."

                      Readers will find themselves turning pages and delaying dinner while Winder and Dyke slowly blossom into the heroes of their own misguided adventure.

                          Every time my children get a little sick, I check this book for the best remedy. My children never get the illness to the degree other children do if they get it at all. This book tells you how to support their bodies in getting rid of the illness with their own immune system, with no side effects or harmful medicines. With homeopathic remedies, children get stronger. My kids haven't needed antibiotics. This book also gives you the conventional treatment, as well as other remedies that have been lost in modern medicine. I LOVE this book!! I can't believe it's out of print! That's sad.

                          With my ever-growing addiction to natural parenting tomes, I already have quite a collection of child care reference books. But something about this book beckoned me to take another look, and I'm so very glad I did.

                          Your Vital Child is written in easy-to-understand terms, careful to explain the basics of alternative therapies such as herbals, homeopathics, accupressure and even hydrotherapy. What I really love is that the authors have obviously worked so hard to create a comprehensive, one-stop reference guide with all the vital information any parent could possibly need - in short paragraphs with simple instructions on how to implement various treatments and what to expect after treatment.

                          There is more vital information here than in all my other natural health care books combined! Really. Facts that I had to learn from friends or the Internet (such as not to give astragalus when your child has a fever, or that some aromatherapies counteract the effect of herbal remedies) were all in this book, and I'm still discovering new information as I dig deeper into the book. You'll also appreciate the vast range of A to Z ailments that you can quickly look up, including common childhood diseases such as measles, mumps, chickenpox and many others (over 150 ailments to look-up). Other chapters include incredibly helpful information about what you can do to keep your child from getting sick not only now but for the rest of his life. Truly a one-stop holistic pediatrician shop!

                          Thick with an abundance of resources, remedies, treatment options and descriptions, this is absolutely the very best whole-child health care material I have ever had the pleasure to place on my bookshelves. It is my new standard baby shower gift and one that every parent and caretaker should not be without. The next time your child gets sick, you'll have all your options at your fingertips, then *you* choose what you feel comfortable with. A very worthwhile book and one that you won't be disappointed with!

                          5 out of 5 stars Best Child healthcare book -- remedies really work!.......2002-03-02

                          The advice in this book is comprehensive and really excellent! I was able to reverse my 4 year old daughters ear infections to the amazement of her ENT. After a prognosis of "andenoid removal and tube insertion " required, after just 4 weeks the diagnosis is " no surgery necessary" ! A phone consultation with the doctor helped me to better decide which remedies, and the dosages, that were required.
                          The book lists all the major, and even many minor, maladies you will face with your child, and what you can do naturally, with herbs, vitamins, diet, accupressure, aromatherapy, hydrotherapy and homeopathy. Each ailment has a good explanation, then lists each remedy you can do, with a basic plan and an advanced plan. It is so easy to use.... you can go straight to the chapter you need and then refer to the others as you required. The advice is also great for adults too. Great antecdotes of actual case histories too.

                          My daughter's complete recovery, after 1 1/2 years of being constantly sick, speaks for itself. Dr. Stengler really cares about healing children naturally, and maintaining their natural vitality. Personally I'm hooked and will use natural health cures as a first choice... and conventional medicine last!
