The book is an assemblage of good answers to some good questions.
So why didn't I enjoy it? I think because in keeping faith with the contributors of answers, several answers to one question are included and a lot of each answer is the same, though expressed slightly differently. So it would have been better (to my way of thinking) to include each contributor's answer ONLY as far as it added to a previous answer. Certainly make for a better read. >>More Details |

The portfolio gets better and better every year but in 2008 there has been a significant improvement in the way the pictures reflect the animals in their natural environment.
Take the example of the 2 eagles fighting over a carcass or the bat flying in the jungle, every picture has an interesting story about the painstaking weeks (months in some cases) that it took to produce it. Interestingly nearly all the photographers use D-SLR apart from one guy in South Africa that uses film. I wish there was more information about the pictures as the organisers restrict the amount of information printed per picture, but every one has a great background. This will make a perfect present to any interested in ... Read More: >>More Details |

This book is brilliant.
The recipe's are easy to do, easy to follow, and the ingrediants are easy to source (and I live in a little fishing village in Cornwall!). She has a very good grip on the different regional food, and gives a two page spread to each region that helps you to understand the history of the food, and how to combine dishes for dinner parties. She has an in depth explaination of cooking methods, (the first few pages MUST be read to cook the dishes as they need to be). She explains all of the spices, and often gives alternatives for hard to find ingrediants. I have tried five different recipies after 2 weeks of having it, and every recipe makes me excited to cook more from her book. Here's ... Read More: >>More Details |

I read a review of this book in a local newspaper and ordered it immediately. I wasn't disappointed. Considering that Ms Bryne is dyslexic and barely able to read and write, it is remarkably well written. The Plain English Campaign would be proud of it! The book combines an autobiographical account of her life (she was born in 1954), with myriad mystical and spiritual experiences, mainly with angels. I found it very inspiring and hopeful. I have read various features about Lorna Bryne, and also watched a clip from a TV interview. Everyone remarks upon her simplicity and innocence. Suspend your disbelief and buy this book. You will get something out of it, I am sure of that. Unmissable!

I had not heard of this book till a few months ago. Then a friend recommended it to me. Thought it sounded like an intriguing idea, so I nipped out to the bookshop to pick myself up a copy. Simply, could not put the book down till I had finished it. It just drew me in from start to finish. Absolutely loved it. It was laugh out loud funny, (I had to try not to laugh too much on the bus) at times it also made me cringe when Danny was in certain situations. I was sitting there reading and thinking please just say no this time...just this once! I also found it quite thought provoking, and it made me think about the times where I just dismiss things straight away and say no. I know several people who have read this book after I recommended it to them, and they all loved ... Read More:

This is a surprisingly good reference on the 1929 crash. The book is very readable considering the subject matter. For me the run up to the crash got a bit too much detail whereas the details of aftermath and solutions got less attention than I would have liked. He also focuses on trivia about suicide rates which is quite entertaining but doesn't seem to the point (which for me is to understand and avoid these kind of wild crashes).
We seem to have duplicated the conditions of this crash almost exactly in 2008 and indulged in the same property and derivative based speculation. It's also interesting that JK Galbraith goes against current (neo-liberal) orthodoxy e.g. the rich having too much money is destabilising rather than it being a benefit as 'trickle ...

I do like a bit of hedgerow and it's great to enjoy the free gifts from Mother Nature, but until I got my hands on a copy of this pocket sized guide, it was a little unclear.
This book is ideal and helps you understand what's under your nose in the gardens! So many common plants can be used in cooking and yet still we pay mini-fortunes for little bags of this and that in the shops. This book certainly helped me to identify and try some of the more obscure plants that I had absolutely no idea I could eat. It's clear descriptions of what they look like alongside nice imagery of the plants themselves help you feel brave enough to give them a pluck and cook and the warnings are there to be heeded, particularly when it comes to mushrooms (personally, I'd ...

Not quite the gripping read that the reviews had me believing it would be. I was expecting some tantalising narrative, imaginative characterisation and a poignant denouement - instead I got a load of electrical charts. Is this postmodernism gone mad?

Honestly what is this bloke on!
I love him on his series how to look good naked, and thought some of his fasion advice was really good so I got the book.. But.. As other reviews have said he keeps calling you "gorgeous lady" or "sexy something or other" very patronising. The advice on clothes seem to be aimed at one sort of person of one shape. His girls in the book were all small, average height with good figures unlike his tv series so obviously everything looks ok on them. I thought he'd have different shapes and sizes and tell you what sort of clothes would suit them. Even the clothes he did have were just weird, especially his underwear.. apparently we should all be wearing mis match knickers and bra .. WITH A CARDIGAN..! Apparently ...

With a cut-off date of mid-September, the 2009 edition (which is really September 2007 to September 2008) misses the financial market collapse and the election of Barack Obama, for which we will have to wait for the 2010 edition.
Nevertheless, as in previous years the 2009 edition is well worth having for its entertaining mix of current events and trivia. Detail on the growth of fuel poverty and death tolls in Iraq are balanced with reminders of soap-star gossip and lists of useless statistics. Apparently, 45% of eleven year olds say they would rather read a book than watch tv, up from 38% on 2004 - good news for Amazon! There is something here for everyone >>More Details |
