Probably the best book on Ohio trees still.......2006-12-10

This is an amazing wealth of information crammed into a small book, and speaks to the deep knowledge Braun had of Ohio plants and trees. While this is not a 6th grade tree book, with some basic studying of plant systemics it will be much more useful to the average user.

I used this for extensive tree ID and forest monitoring for several years and have nearly worn the lettering of the cover it got so much use. While it's not quite a fit in your back pocket hiking book, it is a definite must for any serious outdoor/forest lover in Ohio and the Appalachians.

Not intended for a novice.......2005-11-19

I was disappointed in the quality of this book compared to other books on the market.
The book is not in color and the layout is very difficult to use. The drawings don't contain the common names of the plants. It is not intended for a novice. If you are not a tree expert, and want to identify tress, I would recommend these tree books instead. "Garden Trees" by Richard Rosenfeld, "Trees of North America" by Roger Phillips, and the Smithsonian Handbook "Trees" by Allen J. Coombes.

An essential reference.......1999-12-07

This book is an essential reference for anyone from Ohio or nearby states with interests in botany, horticulture, or ecology. The descriptions of the plant species and the line drawings are exceptionally clear. The range maps by county are also very useful. As a nurseryman and native plant enthusiast I would suggest this book to anyone with interest in the topic.

Book Description

Enjoy the wonderful summer walking trails found in the Alpine regions of Italy and France. Using this guide and its maps, you can explore beautiful foot paths through mountain meadows and hamlets. Choose routes starting from one of the seventeen base villages selected by the authors for their magnificent mountain locales, charm, availability of public transportation, and accommodations. Rated at one of three levels of ease (gentle, comfortable, and more challenging), each walk takes from two to four hours, excluding 'take in the view' breaks or picnics along the way. Whether you want to know the rules of the trail, what kinds of local hiking maps to purchase, what kind of clothing to wear, or how to get discounts on travel to Europe, this book helps you get the most out of your Alpine walking experience. (5 1/2 X 8 1/2, 238 pages, black-and-white pictures, maps)

Very Useful.......2006-06-28

The descriptions of the walks and of the excursions (presumably car-based) appear very useful; we'll be trying some of them in a few weeks. The book would have been more attractive & useful with more photos, especially color photos, & more maps would also be helpful--but what's there will help a great deal in prioritizing what we do.

best hiking anywhere.......2003-09-28

The Italian dolomites offer the best hiking anywhere. Lost of variety great food reasonable prices and lots of people who speak English. This book gives accurate information, wonderful hotel recommendations and suggests towns I would not have discovered elsewhere. A must for anyone who hikes. The hikes may be easy for some, but it there are lots of more diffucilt options when you get there. We followed the Liptons advice and had a fabulous trip!

Book Description

Dietary supplements are estimated to be used regularly by almost 60% of the American population, and over 300 million people worldwide. An important and ever-growing portion of this market is in botanical supplements that are derived from natural plants. Natural, however, does not necessarily mean safe, and although plants can provide health-essential and health-improving nutrients they can also provide toxic compounds. While the use and sales of botanical supplements continues to expand rapidly, scientific understanding of the efficacy and safety of these products remains limited. The aim of Dietary Supplements of Plant Origin is to give both the general and specialized reader a comprehensive insight into the most recent findings in this interesting area of dietary supplementation. It is hoped that this book will shed a new light on this topic and impact positively upon the health of people in this new millennium.

Book Description

Who can forget our beloved gentleman's personal gentleman, Jeeves, who ever comes to the rescue when the hapless Bertie Wooster falls into trouble. My Man Jeeves is sure to please anyone with a taste for pithy buffoonery, moronic misunderstandings, gaffes, and aristocratic slapstick.

Download Description

What I mean is, while there's no doubt that in certain matters of dress Jeeves's judgment is absolutely sound and should be followed, it seemed to me that it was getting a bit too thick if he was going to edit my face as well as my costume. No one can call me an unreasonable chappie, and many's the time I've given in like a lamb when Jeeves has voted against one of my pet suits or ties; but when it comes to a valet's staking out a claim on your upper lip you've simply got to have a bit of the good old bulldog pluck and defy the blighter.

clean surface and sleek condition.......2006-02-28

the book is in excellent, in fact, perfect, shape, and has a beautiful feel to it--the contents are the usual brilliant Jeeves and Wooster humor!

A bed book for reading in the bed........2006-01-02

I love Jeeves stories and these are some of the first. But not all are about Jeeves and Wooster, thou they would show up in later books changed to be Jeeves and Wooster stories.
A bed book, as I pointed out, is meant to be used while in bed. It is designed so you can read it while on your side. I like to read books while laying on my front in bed, so it is nice to have. I had to take a star away for the fact that not ALL stories were of the J & W type.

A cure for insomnia.......2005-10-14

I listen to audio books all night - re-cuing to where I left off every time I wake up. Jeeves is a very light, relaxing, entertaining listen - especially when narrated by Jarvis. I DO laugh out loud occasionally - even on the 2nd or 5th listen - and even at 3am, but the lightness of the stories and the humor are surpassed (to my taste) only by John Mortimer's Rumpole series read by Leo McKern.

Like "Tootsie" the movie, you won't come away from this with a different outlook on life, but it's good escape and, for me, chases away the worries that night in the George Bush era bring.

Early Jeeves/Wooster, and Reggie Pepper too.......2005-01-23

This was the earliest (1919) of Wodehouse's short story collections to mention Jeeves in the title, and these are very early Jeeves/Wooster stories. But only half of the stories in this volume are set in the Wooster household. The other half of these stories feature Reggie Pepper. Pepper can be thought of as a proto-Bertie, but he has no Jeeves-like character around. The Reggie Pepper stories are also similar to the Jeeves/Wooster stories in that they are written in Reggie's voice. Once Wodehouse got rolling with the Jeeves/Wooster stories, he abandoned Reggie Pepper. I think there are only eight Reggie Pepper stories in total, with half of them found in this collection.

A few points are worth noting. The earliest Jeeves/Wooster story is not in this collection. That first story was "Extricating Gussie", which is to be found in the 1917 collection "The Man With Two Left Feet." It is in "Extricating Gussie" that Jeeves and Wooster travel to New York. All the Jeeves/Wooster stories in "My Man Jeeves" are set in New York as well. Another factor to bear in mind is that most of these early stories were later reworked, and appear in "Carry On, Jeeves." The story "Leave it to Jeeves" appears in "Carry On" as "The Artistic Career of Corky", with the first few paragraphs re-written for that version. The stories "Jeeves and the Unbidden Guest" and "Jeeves and The Hard-Boiled Egg" appear in "Carry On" with no obvious alterations. Also, the story "Helping Freddie" appears in "Carry On" as "Fixing it for Freddie", but in that case the story has been changed from a Reggie Pepper vehicle to one featuring Bertie and Jeeves - the plot and much of the language carry directly through this transformation.

In short, three of the four Jeeves/Wooster stories, and one of the Reggie Pepper stories, appear, with varying degrees of alteration, in "Carry On, Jeeves." The only Jeeves/Wooster item in this collection that doesn't appear in "Carry On" is "The Aunt and the Sluggard."

Classic Wodehousiana!.......2003-09-04

Martin Jarvis' reading of My Man Jeeves runs circles around Jonathan Cecil's reading of *anything* (for more ranting on Cecil, see Psmith: Journalist). He simply embodies the characters of Bertie Wooster, Jeeves, Biffy, Corky, and all the cast (albeit with the same typical attempt at an American accent).

This recording consists of the two stories from the printed Carry On, Jeeves collection that were left out of the CD copy of the Carry On, Jeeves audiobook--one of which has Jeeves himself as the narrator--as well as three stories starring Bertie Wooster's predecessor, Reggie Pepper.

Pepper by himself isn't as funny or touching as the relationship between Jeeves and Wooster, but the predicaments are identical to those that Bertie would find himself getting into. The only difference is that Reggie manages to extricate himself from the troubles, unlike Bertie, who relies on the wiles of his man, Jeeves.

Book Description

Where would Bertie Wooster be without his man Jeeves? The discerning butler knows all, sees all, and ultimately resolves all problems in this masterpiece of British comedy. Newly designed and typeset in a modern 6-by-9-inch format by Waking Lion Press.
