The company provided fast service. The book has been educational and we will be able to use the practical information when we finally start breeding our Danes.

survived 12 puppies!.......2007-04-12

This is an excellent book. Simple, to the point, and in layman's terms that can be easily understood. I am a veterinarian and I've had a lot of personal experience whelping and rearing puppies. But it was wonderful to have this book to turn to while raising my most recent litter of 12 puppies. It was reassuring to verify what I was doing correctly and helpful to be reminded of things that I should be doing.

New to whelping? This is very practical advice........2007-02-19

I work rescue and never had puppies born in my home before last September.
This book covers it all, and is easy and clear to understand.

Good, But Dated.......2006-11-02

Dave Hughes has successfully published a number of books on trout fishing. Strategies for Stillwater gives cogent, concise information concerning the way lakes "work" and tips on how to locate trout in them. I wish, however, that Hughes would update the book. A lot has happened since it he wrote it.

For example, pontoon boats on lakes are now very popular. While Hughes describes the pros and cons of prams and float tubes, he doesn't touch on pontoon boats because they weren't around (at least in any great numbers) when the book was written.

There are now a lot more line options for stillwater. I would like Hughes' take on them.

Finally, the patterns described in the book, while venerable, have given way to more "modern" imitations. For example, the patterns for the nymphs of damsels, dragonflies, and callebaetis have changed substantially in the last ten years. Beadhead flies, which have become a flyfishing staple, get no mention because they were not in common use when the book was written. The tremendous work done by Brian Chan, Phil Rowley, and others on understanding and imitating chronomids has been of great benefit to flyfishers. This information also post-dates the publication of the book and would be welcome in a new edition.

Hughes is a good writer and the many tips he gives on finding trout are as valid today as when he wrote them. Be aware, however, that this is not the latest and greatest work on stillwater tactics. Hopefully, Hughes will update it soon.

Stillwater trout don't want you to read this book!.......2003-08-20

The typical flyfishing book concentrates on fishing streams of one sort or another. But trout lakes and ponds are often easier to find than good trout streams. Those who have spent any time fishing lakes know that there are some significant differences between the two venues. In this expansive tome Hughes covers stillwater flyfishing from top to bottom.

The book is broken into three parts: "reading stillwaters" which discusses the nature of the lake environment; "strategies for stillwater" which equipment, boats, trout behavior and fishing techniques; and "lake food forms and their imitations" which describes each class of fish food along with how to both select (or tie) an imitation and convincingly fish it.

The book is well organized and complete without being tedious; Hughes' prose provides pleasant reading. I know that I'll be a better lake fisher for reading this book.

You'll read it and discover why you need it.......2002-06-11

I used to think that there was no strategy, per se, to fishing a lake--a big tub of water you trolled until you got an arbitrary hit.

This book takes an almost forensic view of a lake's features--water layers, vegetation, etc.--and shows how to read them and catch fish. It's much more detailed than I expected and I came away with a real sense of how to find trout as quickly as possible.

A Truly Intriging, informational book trout........2000-11-08

This book has many wonderful pictures of trout in their natural habitats. It tells you all you need to know about bringing in trout in lakes and ponds. I am amazed by the quality of this book. It is a wonderful book that you won't regret to buy.

Book Description

THEIR ROMANCE IS A COUNTRY FAIRY TALE. . . .

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are two of the hottest stars in country music. As husband and wife, they've created a romance for the ages and a model marriage that includes two beautiful daughters. Since meeting and falling in love on their Spontaneous Combustion tour in 1996, Faith and Tim have become known in Nashville as the new Mr. and Mrs. Country Music.

As a child in a small Mississippi town, Faith dreamed of someday making it big in Nashville. At nineteen, she moved to Music City and struggled for years (including a retail job at Fan Fair!) before scoring her big break. Tim grew up riding horses and playing baseball in rural Louisiana. When he was eleven, he accidentally discovered his mother's deepest secret--that he is the biological son of pro baseball player Tug McGraw. Years later, Tim went on to match his father's success by becoming one of the most popular singers in Nashville.

Faith Hill and Tim McGraw's signature duet--the multiple-award-winning "It's Your Love"--is the love theme to a relationship in perfect harmony. To millions of fans, Tim and Faith represent romance, family, and great music. PERFECT HARMONY is a dazzling tribute to their inspiring story.

This book lacks depth. Its information is vague. It seems like Mr. Gray wrote it by doing an internet search and reading a few magazine articles. You won't find anything new here or see any pictures that you can't locate yourself on the internet. Save your money.

love those mcgraws!.......2000-05-02

I read this book and I thought that it made a very good story. It really does seem that tim & faith had a fairy tale romance. Though they did have a bump or two (the relatonship that she was in when they met). It paints a nice, happy picture of what has always appeared to be that and more. Any fan of Faith or Tim would love this book. I know that I did.It just should have been longer.

Great Read!!.......2003-03-17

The book was wonderful. The story within a story worked very well. With so many twists and turns, nothing and no one are what they seem. This story happens within 12 hours, which is amazing in itself. I loved Charlotte, Perfect Harmony, Gideon, and Jonathon. This book is a must read.

Another Wood Winner.......2001-09-10

This is the fast-paced story of Charlotte Lee, CEO of an herbal pharmaceutical company in California, involved not only in alternative medicine but in research for a cure for cancer. The action goes back and forth in time and place, tracing Charlotte's ancestors, Mei-Ling and Perfect Harmony, her grandmother who started the company when she arrived from Singapore as a 16 year old.

Wood peels back the layers of the stories in a way that kept me involved even though I usually am not too fond of flashbacks.

There were,however, a few improbable scenes and I thought the book could have been less dramatic in places.

Wood's books are always good reading, and it is evident that she does an amazing amount of research. Many of her books have a medical theme, usually non-conventional medicine. My favorite of her books was "Green City in the Sun", which was about Kenya - a wonderful story that gave me a lot of insight into this country. Another excellent one was "Virgins of Paradise", about Egyptian women and the family structure there. I even listened to the audio after reading the book. Both were packed full of interesting information that gave insight into how people in these places live.

great, great, great.......2001-04-15

This book was unbelievabely gripping and wonderful !!! I lovedit and I almost forgot to eat since I couldn't put it down until Ifinished it! The male hero (jonathan)is so lovable ! the only badthing I could say about the book is the maybe too melodramatic ending(the discovery of the ultimate family secret). otherwise, the book isgreat and, weirdly, it's the stuff about the computer in that bookthat made me interest myself about internet and online chatting!Barbara wood is my favourite writer, no doubt ! She seems to be awonderful woman too,you can check for yourself on her website ....

a very good read.......2001-01-30

One of the things that puts Barbara Wood into a class of her own in historic, adventure and now also in biotech thriller writing: her thorough background research. She puts a lot of work into creating a complex and rich historical as well as atmospheric background for her lead characters. And she does it quite well for characters from foreign cultural background: the main character in "Perfect Harmony" is Charlotte Lee, a young Chinese-American woman. She is the CEO of Harmony Biotech, a biopharmaceutical company specializing in Chinese herbal medicine. As dramatic events unfold in present time and Charlotte sees her company, her professional existence and her life threatened, Wood unfolds the story of Charlotte's family and the history of the company in an equally engaging parallel storyline, and drama picks up on the mystery as well as the romantic level. Barbara Wood is the master of generation-spanning scenarios and great family sagas, as she has demonstrated before in her Egyptian tale "Virgins of Paradise" and the Australian saga "Dreamtime". Even when her sometimes a bit overly dramatic and predictably romantic heroines every once in a while come across as old-fashioned, this does not compromise the overall quality of her storytelling. Wood is a wonderful storyteller and is performing at her best in "Perfect Harmony". Pick it up, kick off your shoes and don't plan anything else for the weekend.

maybe the best of barbara.......2001-01-28

this book is very interesting. Its a thriller based upon Chinese history, translated into modern amerivcan women in business life. I would definetely read it, as it gives a learning experience about generations and there changes, but also about family and love.. very romantic too...

Book Description

In each of these poems, taken from his long work The Interpreter of Desire, the Sufi master Ibn 'Arabi (1165-1240) evokes the transcendent experience of spiritual love—provoked by his encounter with a young Persian woman named Nizham, "harmony." Nizham becomes the emblem of the perfect expression of love, of beauty, of divinity. He discovers her and loves her in desert sand dunes, in the beneficent shades of rare groves, in the cool wind, in the dazzling sun—in all the movements of nature. Calligraphy (from the Greek for "beautiful writing") is an art where word and image meet, where the artist strives to give visual expression to the meaning of words in a way that transcends the text while remaining completely faithful to it. It is a discipline that has been invested with spiritual significance wherever it has arisen—and it has arisen throughout the world in every age, in virtually every language, culture, and religion. The Shambhala Calligraphy series is a collection of books devoted to contemporary expressions of this "art of the word," featuring contemporary calligraphers' striking new interpretations of texts that have been traditional subjects for calligraphic interpretation. Whether in Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, Latin, or Chinese pictographs, the characters, words, and sentences are brought to life anew here in a choreography of mind, hand, and heart by which letter and spirit fuse in a single stroke.

"A double letter at the moment of union".......2006-12-18

In this magnificent book, word and form achieve a perfect harmony like that of Ibn 'Arabi and his beloved. Ibn 'Arabi's beautiful, many-layered love poetry and Hassan Massoudy's luminous calligraphy are among the most astonishing things I've experienced in a long while. Read this and weep for what is happening now in Najaf, Massoudy's home town.

a treasure.......2002-11-12

This is a beautiful marriage of word and art, word in art, and divine revelation through intimate encounter with poetry. The calligraphy that meets the word creates a fire bed of understanding within you. At points while reading/experiencing this beautiful book I had to stop, lay down, and close my eyes. Such passion is generated and released within this short work. I love the picture of the calligraphor in the back of the book, very simple and authentic, at work in front of a huge shelf filled with glass jars of paints and colored powders. Thanks to Mr. Massoudy for letting Ibn Al-Arabi swirl through his work in all his rich, vibrant love-drenched wildness! WOW! Get this book! Keep it close!

Product Description

FOREWORD Unilateralism and cultural conflicts in the beginning of the 21st Century seem to be unstoppable in view of extremism between conflicting parties and the overwhelming U.S. media dominance around the globe. Even though the Western media may have all the good intentions of spreading democracy worldwide, to those who yearn for diversity of culture and international opinion in the United States, the American domination of world media and world government policies have been stifling indeed. The recent rediscovery of ancient Chinese philosophies of balance and harmony in China cannot be timelier. The U.S. is badly in need of a dose of the gentle, tolerant and accepting Eastern philosophy that is the essence of Chinese wisdom. This can be particularly inviting for those who are truly interested in Chinese language, culture and world harmony. This primer on ancient Chinese harmony teaching can hopefully bring a glimmer of light to those hopeful that The World of Harmony Will Surely Come . China during the last one hundred and fifty years, ever since the Opium War, has been searching for its identity. The present Peoples Republic of China, rising from the plunder of Western and Japanese Imperialism, is only fifty seven years old. It is relatively young and short in terms of China s glorious five thousand years of ancient history. For 2500 years China has benefited from the long tradition handed down from Laotze and Confucius which emphasized its rich cultural value in harmony teachings. It is this harmony culture that enabled China to survive changes in power, foreign invasions, internal strife, other struggles throughout its long history. Today, China has rediscovered its ancient heritage in the teachings of harmony, and, in doing so, China rediscovered itself. This is not unlike Europe s rediscovery of ancient Greek democracy during the European Renaissance period after the Dark Ages that led to the Enlightenment and the sp

Harmony Diplomacy Essential for World Development.......2007-05-11

Finally, Dr. Fung, having illuminated many of the problematic approaches currently being undertaken, leads the reader to the solution. Harmony is an approach that supports rather than censures, it is tolerant rather than judgemental and it is inclusive instead of being exclusive. Harmony is meant to encompass the fundamental principles that one ought to adhere to in all facets of life. Decision-making processes would be geared towards harmony, rather than personal gain, from an individual level all the way to a global plain.
Dr. Fung has taken a concept that is so seemingly simplistic and breathed a palpable life into it in this essay. The statement that he is making is direly needed and I hope that he continues to make statements like these so that people will start to realise that the solutions that are currently failing to solve the contentious issues of global peace will continue to fail until we realise that it is our very goal that is misguided. We need to establish global harmony before thinking about global peace. Harmony does not imply agreement, only tolerance. It is possible to bring harmony about quickly through education and compliance. Once the people of the world commit to harmony as a means to solve problems, the problems of the world will finally become manageable, and maybe then we will all "just get along".
