There's Always a New Way To Look At Cuisine
Don't think for a moment that the insane food presentation ideas in this book are only meant to delight children; adults I've entertained become hysterical when served okra lizards or pigs carved from citrus fruits. Two caveats if you try any of these techniques: ...

MetroBooks (NY), 2001
An excellent, readable reference
I have started reading a lot of historical fiction and nonfiction, and have found Haywood's Altas to be very useful. It works well as an introduction, being quite readable and succinct. In addition, it is an excellent reference to use when reading nonfiction tombs ...

United States Air Force Search and Rescue Survival Training: Af Regulation 64-4
U. S. Department of the Air Force
MetroBooks (NY), 2002
A Great Survival Reference
I was impressed with the variety of survival subjects covered in this regulation. Written from the perspective of both the downed aircrewman and the USAF search and rescue team member, it goes beyond the Army Survival Manual and it takes a different view than that of ...
Atlas of World History
John Haywood Ph.D.
MetroBooks (NY), 2000
The best combination of quality, features, and price
Recently I did a detailed comparison of the 5 or 6 major offerings in this area, which includes such traditional notables as the big Hammond atlas and the one from Oxford University Press, as well as the Dorling-Kindersley one, but this atlas is the best combination of ...

Peanuts Treasury
Charles M. Schulz
MetroBooks (NY), 2000
Peanuts Treasury is NOT the same as Peanuts Treasury
Apparently there has been a mix-up: The two "editions" of this book DON'T correspond to each other. I've bought the paperback one, and it does not contain some of the strips mentioned in the review section.
Castles and Fortresses
Robin S. Oggins
MetroBooks (NY), 1995
Buy it!
This is one of my favorite "coffee table" books. To begin with, it's huge. The cover is an outstanding photo of the breathtaking Neuschwanstein (there's an even better one on page 96). The first few chapters give an illustrated (via hand drawings as well as awesome ...

MetroBooks (NY), 2002
Very nice photo-book about Wright's architecture.
This book was a gift from my sister after visiting Wright's Falling Water in Ohiopyle, PA. I've always been interested in some of Wright's work...not so much the architecture, but the detail he put into his work. I'm trying to incorporate some of his Mission-type look ...
