Thailand: The Golden Kingdom.......2006-08-23

This was a gift for a friend that loves Thailand and lived and traveled there extensively. He loved this book. It is a great reminder of all he loved about such a beautiful country.

shocker.......2004-06-14

This book is a shocker. Don't waste your money. Save it up and buy David Thompson's excellent Thai Food, and the recent Quick and Easy Thai.

not that great.......2003-07-28

As cookbooks go, this series is lackluster. The photography seems to have a yellowish cast - and the food does not look very appetizing. The recipes are complicated and the writing is dry. I had purchased quite a few titles in this series and sent them all back.

One of the best of the "Food of" series........2003-03-30

I started with the Food of Asia, which I think is excellent. I decided to check into some specific cuisines, such as Thailand, of the seven cuisines that are presented in the Food of Asia. I am a little torn about many of the other cuisines, but not for Thailand.

The individual books in the "Food of" series by Periplus have extensive introductions. There are not as many recipes as I had hoped for. The ingredients list, along with the accompanying commentaries, are about the same, with an equivalent number of photos, as the Food of Asia. The Food of Asia contains many of the recipes, however, some do not have a photo.

The variety of main ingredients here is quite good, including chicken, duck, fish, beef, pork, all the shellfish, a couple of specific vegetables such as kale and green beans that go with a meat, and a general vegatable stir-fry that can be used with any vegetable.

The ingredients list is thourough, and there is little need for substitutions or omissions. Also, many of the spice pastes can easily be purchased pre-mixed. Some of the ingredients are obtainable primarily online, but unlike many of the other cuisines in the "Food of" series, Thai and Indian online stores are plenty.

In the case of "Food of Thailand", I think it is definitely worth the purchase if you really like Thai food, rather than my general suggestion that "Food of Asia" is the place to start. "Food of Asia" contains many of the recipes that are in "Food of Thailand", but the extra ones in "Food of Thailand" are worth purchasing this cuisine separately.

Hope this helps.

Tasty Thai Tome.......2001-03-03

A book that is both lovely and practical, with a mouth-watering selection of do-able recipes, 64 in all. It includes brief chapters on the history of the food, regional cooking, palace cuisine, and more; and an informative chapter on Thai ingredients describes 48 exotic ingredients, some with photos, from 'agar-agar' to 'water spinach'. The recipe directions are concise and clearly written. I like the fact that the recipes are not overly complicated and the number of ingredients called for in most of the recipes is fairly small. Many of the recipes are simple and in my opinion authentic and non-westernized. One thing they do not tell you is how spicy the resulting dish will be. "Red Chicken Curry with Bamboo Shoots" and "Pumpking Custard" are my favorites. Last but not least, if you are like me and love the visuals, sumptuous color photos abound, with exquisitely presented food in beautiful (table) settings, some with fascinating antiques or objets-d'art.

For years, the beloved clown Leo Mousini was the star attraction at the circus. Every evening he performed astonishing acrobatic feats, daring balancing acts, and complicated juggling tricks. Audiences loved him-especially the children. But as the years passed, the tricks grew harder to do. Leo Mousini grew too old to be a clown. So, sadly, Leo leaves the circus. But two stowaways leave with him, tiny mice who dream of becoming clowns themselves, and they prove to be the key to a wonderful new life for Leo Mousini.

worthless.......2007-02-15

I read this entire book in one afternoon. The title implies that it will show you how to do amazing things with you mac mini. In reality, it is barely more than a collection of manuals. How to set up your Airport. How to hook up your mini to an Elgato Eye TV, or a Roku Soundbridge.

The sad thing, is that most of this information is already found either in the manuals of those products themselves, at the manufacturer's website, or in their forums, ALL OF WHICH ARE FREE! I was expecting some really neat stuff. What I got was mostly underwhelming, and frankly, not that up to date.

Unless you are a switcher and have absolutely no idea of what to do with your mini, do yourself a favor and don't waste your money.

If you want more from your mini, get this book.......2006-02-09

The mac mini is great as it is....but some (like me) think it needs a little more. This book with help you take your mac mini from plain to BLING, and have fun doing it. there are ideas for every skill level from simple to complex.

Get this book.

Mike Duffy and His Adventures with the World's Smallest Person
Peter, C. Vogel
Manufacturer: Llumina Press
ProductGroup: Book
Binding: Paperback

Book Description

Mike Duffy is an average fifth grader attending Harbortown Elementary. Life for this ten-year old is much like any other's. He enjoys playing with his friends, he complains about schoolwork, and he tries his best to dodge chores given by his overbearing mother. Then a mysterious package arrives on the Duffy doorstep. Stowed away in the box's contents is a three-inch tall man. This "Minutian" slips out unnoticed and seeks refuge in Mike's room. Soon Demetrius (the world's smallest person) is wounded on a mousetrap, and Mike tries to help. Mike has to keep the tiny man a secret. Demetrius needs another thing from Mike-a way back to his homeland. And Mike, with his knack for getting in jams, needs help too! The Mike Duffy stories are colorful and they move. But there is more to Mike Duffy than just getting into trouble. Just below the surface are themes like loyalty, courage, friendship, persistence, and strength in family. About the Author: Pete Vogel lives in a suburb outside St. Louis with his wife and three daughters. For years, he has told stories to his daughters and "the car-pool kids" when given the opportunity to drive for school drop-off. With encouragement from his wife Lynn, he sat down to writing. "Mike Duffy-Sworn to Secrecy!" is the first in a series.

Book Description

The Smallest Book in the World takes the art of printing and bookbinding to an entirely new dimension of precision. German typographer Josua Reichert (*1938) especially created a colorful alphabet for this tiny leather-bound ABC-picture book (4-color print), exclusively produced in the traditional book city Leipzig where the idea was originally born. Measuring 2.4 x 2.9 mm, this is the world's smallest book in a published edition. The Smallest Book in the World is a remarkable object of desire, not only as a collector´s item or for book enthusiasts´ libraries.

Early childhood favourite.......2001-05-25

The smallest Turtle is one of my favourite children's books. Lynley Dodd is a New Zealand Children's book author who has written and illustrated many popular children's picture books, including "Hairy McClary from Donaldsdon Dairy", " Scattercat" and " My Cat Likes to Hide in Boxes."

As an early childhood lecturer in Australia, I use " The smallest Turtle" In my language and literature and environmental science classes. The only problem with this book is that it is so popular that one of my students has chosen not to return it and I find myself without a copy now that it is out of print.

The smallest turtle is the story of a turtle as it hatches from an egg and follows his journey towards the sea. " To the sea, to the sea" He hears the voice inside his head.The journey unfolds with many of the hurdles that a turtle faces, birds who wish to eat him, the hot sun and a range of obstacles.

Lynly Dodd always uses a simple text on one page with a full page clear illustration on the other. They are perfect for story groups in early childhood settings. I would highly recommend this delighful story to parents and educators.
