Book Description

"Etiquette is the difference between stable manners and table manners." - Texas Bix Bender Yessir, that's cowboy etiquette! Cowboy Etiquette is a little ol' book that packs a big wallop, as it cleverly guides cowboys on keeping their cool in any situation, from the saddle to the steakhouse. Despite their rough-and-tumble life, cowboys just might be the friendliest and most mannerly bunch of guys around. Cowboy Etiquette reveals, though, that etiquette is more than just knowing when to say "yes ma'am" and "no sir"; it's about harkening back to a basic gentility of manner that we sorely miss today. Afraid of stuffy etiquette rules? Try etiquette the cowboy way; Texas Bix Bender makes etiquette as easy as pecan pie! Texas Bix Bender is the best-selling author of the Don't Squat with Yer Spurs on! series and writes for Riders Radio Theater. He lives in Nashville, Tennessee.

Sweet.......2001-12-07

This book is the seventh in a series based on the Woody's Roundup gang (Woody, Jessie and the Prospector) from Disney/Pixar's Toy Story 2. In this book, when Jessie's Aunt Grace sends word that she is coming out from Snootyville, New York for a visit, the Prospector decides that Jessie needs to "fancy" up to impress her. Unfortunately for Jessie, curtsying and riding sidesaddle are just not something she knows a lot about...

This short book is printed on a heavy grade of paper and contains a copious amount of wonderful, pencil-drawn illustration; both of which conspire to give this book a 1950s feel! The story is quite sweet, and easy to read. Both my eight-year-old son and ten-year-old daughter read this book with me and enjoyed it. We highly recommend this book to you.

Manufacturer: Serpent's Tail
ProductGroup: Book
Binding: Paperback
ASIN: 1852426853

Book Description

A new century, maybe, but what the mainstream media sees as 'womens interests' remains totally predictable. Inappropriate Behaviour is a collection by writers who neither wish to be Bridget Jones or look like Jennifer Aniston, nor do they want to experience plastic surgery or winter in Taos or make things with radiccio. Subject matter? Molls, mothers, Satanism, Kenneth Anger, and slash-lit.

Inspired by Naomi Klein's No Logo, Inappropriate Behaviour rejects the globalization of culture. It asserts the individual's right to live, dress and party in ways that reflect personal choices and not the commercial dictates of 'style'. It is essential reading for all women who refuse to sell their souls for a pair of Manolo Blahniks and don't want to to live on nouvelle cuisine.

Contributors include: Debbie Barham, Jessica Berens, Penny Birch, Jenny Blythe, Mikita Brottman, Lydia Lunch, Annabel Chong, Tama Janowitz.

Book Description

New in Paper
The title says it all: this kids' guide turns scrapbooking into child's play. Every activity is fun, every technique a delight, and every colorful page an inspiration. What could be better than messing about with shaving cream while making fabulous papers at the same time? Or creating Bubble Prints by blowing ink through a straw? The good times begin with putting together a basic tool kit of alphabet stickers, papers, markers, and other easily-found items. Then youngsters can get down and dirty making Linoleum Block Images, Photograph Pockets, or Mosaic Scraps. The projects put these techniques to use on good-looking scrapbook pages that celebrate holidays, family, school events, and other significant moments in a child's life.

Big fan of Sandi's but this book is disappointing!.......2005-09-20

I am a big fan of Sandi Genovense's work. I have several of her books. I was excited to learn this book was coming out this year and looking forward to more great scrapbooking ideas, but the book was not what I expected. Most of her work were taken from her most recent books such as 'Sandi Genovese's Three-Dimensional Scrapbooks: Techniques for Building Texture and Style into Your Pages' and 'Designer Scrapbooks with Sandi Genovese'. There are a few new ideas but they do not seem to be her work. I may be wrong but Sandi Genovense's style is very distinctive and some of the new ideas just do not fit her style. To say the least I was a bit disappointed. In the future I will review the books before purchasing it so I don't have duplicates.

I read this story to my children ranging in age from 7 to 12. They thoroughly enjoyed the characters (especially their names - Me Too, etc.) as well the story itself. What a refreshing and comfortable story it was. I congratulate the author for his approach to storytelling, and my children are anxiously awaiting his next release!

Book Description

Mundos plausibles, mundos alternativos es un original estudio sobre el papel que juegan los juicios contrafácticos en la historia y en las ciencias sociales. Toda explicación sugiere ciertos juicios contrafácticos: pero, a diferencia de otros pensadores de la historia y las ciencias sociales, Geoffrey Hawthorn arguye que no existe una respuesta teórica a la pregunta sobre qué condicionales contrafácticos se deben admitir como válidos. Es necesario que usemos nuestro discernimiento, y en particular, el de orden práctico. Los juicios prácticos, sin embargo, son intrínsecamente particulares, y la discusión debe hacerse mediante ejemplos.

Book Description

Traditionally, diaspora communities have been understood to be pariah communities, and most work on diasporas has focused on specific groups such as the Jewish or African Diaspora. This book is unique in comparing a range of diasporas, including the Jewish, Arab, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Maltese, Greek, and Armenian diasporas. Taking the past four centuries into consideration, the authors examine diaspora trading networks across the globe on both a regional and international level.Through an understanding of diaspora trading networks, we learn not only about diaspora communities but also about the roots of the modern global economy.

Book Description

People commonly view evolution as a process of competition between individuals--known as "survival of the fittest"--with the individual representing the "unit of selection." Richard Dawkins offers a controversial reinterpretation of that idea in The Extended Phenotype, now being reissued
to coincide with the publication of the second edition of his highly-acclaimed The Selfish Gene. He proposes that we look at evolution as a battle between genes instead of between whole organisms. We can then view changes in phenotypes--the end products of genes, like eye color or leaf shape,
which are usually considered to increase the fitness of an individual--as serving the evolutionary interests of genes.
Dawkins makes a convincing case that considering one's body, personality, and environment as a field of combat in a kind of "arms race" between genes fighting to express themselves on a strand of DNA can clarify and extend the idea of survival of the fittest. This influential and controversial
book illuminates the complex world of genetics in an engaging, lively manner.

The original edition, not the revised edition.......2006-12-05

The reason there are so few reviews for this book is that this is the orginal 1982 edition, not the now more common revised edition of 1989, which has a different subtitle: "The Long Reach of the Gene".

A Classic Biology Text.......2001-06-19

I assume that no one has entered reviews of this book because it is so well known among knowledgeable biologists. For new students not familiar with this book, it is fundamental to research that is now underway in genetics and in sociobiology. In order to establish a foundation for further study in this field, this book is an absolute necessity, along with _The Selfish Gene_ also by Dawkins and the entire body of his lifelong work. To call this work "monumental" is an understatement. It belongs in the same category as Darwin's work, because it is a natural extension of it.

Best I ever read!.......1997-12-04
