Each example are broken down into pieces, sprinkled with sparse explanations, often doesn't help much. Come on, make some efforts, both Manning and Oreily do far better job on formatting code with pointed comments!!! This inflated the whole book into 700+ pages.<br /><br />On top of that, there are places I feel deserved a much greater discussion (such as concurrency), the book merely scratch the surface, this is true for many other topics as well.

When the editions illustrated by Tracy Dockray came out, I did wonder if the updated, modern illustrations would work with the original book texts, many of which were written in the ‘50s and ‘60’s. I was unaware until I read this book that yet another edition of Cleary’s books had been released in 2013.. It seems to work; children are still grabbing these books in 2020!<br />The Art of Ramona Quimby focuses on the one character of Cleary’s that had books published about her from the 1950’s all the way in to the ‘90’s. The author did a marvelous job of taking readers through the decades with this beloved little girl. The letters of correspondence between Cleary and the first illustrator, Louis Darling, were a special added bonus. I would recommend this to anyone who has ever enjoyed Ramona’s adventures through the years.<br />I hope Anna Katz will someday write another book about the art of some of Cleary’s other characters!<br />Thank you, Netgalley, for providing me with a free copy of this outstanding book. I have a feeling that I’ll be buying a hard copy very soon!",

Emma's husband died in WWI and, after losing her parents and brother as well, she eventually ends up in Los Angeles with her sister in law Kitty, a gorgeous and untalented star of silent film. This is a light and a well-researched, well-written and well-plotted mystery. Without risking spoilers, Hambly examines the early days of the studio system where stars were made because of how they looked. We learn about the common practice of ensuring notoriously gay actors appear in public with \"romantic\" people of the opposite sex. Extras were were so expendable that they risked life and limb to appear in crowd scened involving guns or explosives. The casting couch entry to the profession was definitely in place. Hollywood was a small, small town when it came to knowing everyone's business. Hambly weaves in famous actors and directors whose backstories are known to us. Emma has a cameraman boyfriend, Zal. It's been four years since she left England and this budding relationship has potential, but she sometimes longs to be back in England continuing her studies at Oxford. In addition to serving as Kitty's assistant, Emma has work as a screenwriter. This could be problematic as her knowledge of ancient history is frequently set aside when, for example she's instructed to make a character Christian in a period falling eighty years before the birth of Jesus. I enjoyed this enough to buy the first book in the series so I can fill in the back story. Fun characters, fun geographical background, fun locale, interesting resolution to the murder.

"text": "It’s fiddly and time-consuming to add embroidery to knitting, but this book, EMBROIDERY ON KNITTING: INSPIRATIONAL MODERN DESIGNS FOR STITCHING ONTO KNITTING, gives you the technical guidance you need to get the very best results. When you embroider on knitting, you must consider the structure of the knitted fabric (because a knitted garment needs to retain its stretchiness and drape), and always place your embroidery stitches on the knitted surface with care.<br /><br />This book contains charts that show the paths your tapestry needle must follow to add standard embroidery stitches to knitted fabric. For example, to add turkey work (knotted fringe), your needle must go between and around pairs of stitches in a single knit row. When the embroidery on the row is finished, the lower loops are cut to form fringe. See my collage photo of the turkey work chart (for placement on the knitting), the stitch diagram (for execution of the embroidery stitch), and the samples of the resulting embroidery on knitted fabric.<br /><br />With some of the embroidery, you will go through purl bumps to attach your decoration. With other embroidery, you will do lines of running stitches to emulate a backstitch without adding a lot of extra yarn on the wrong side, or to simply add a line of color that emulates a woven plaid. There are many different embroidery stitches included, with photos of samples that show you the possible effects you can achieve.<br /><br />Knitters who are interested in knitting techniques of all kinds will want to add this useful book to their library.",

It was perfect, from all the sexiness, to all the love, to the drama. Every single page was filled with perfection. There are so many great moments in this book-twists, turns, love and steam-that it will satisfy any reader! I was captivated from the start, swooning hard and falling for Cannon West as I watched him come to life and lower his walls with Ava. But be forewarned once you start you won’t want to stop reading until the last word.<br /><br />Cannon West left his hockey career behind to take care of his wife when he found out she was dying, he never thought he would get back in the game but now he finds himself as head coach of The Pittsburgh Titans. He isn’t looking for a relationship he doesn’t have time, but as he flirts and chats up the beautiful Barista at the local coffee shop, The Grind that he stops at each morning he realizes he wants more and she is the woman he wants.<br /><br />Cannon West and Ava Cavanaugh’s story is passionate, charming and will have you spellbound. Sawyer Bennett has graced us with yet another stunning romance! I also love the camaraderie of this team and watching them all find their HEA’s. I just can’t get enough!! You don’t want to pass this series up!!",

Also, note that there are no photos of any of the recipes in this book.<br /><br />There are actually a lot of recipes I would make in this book.

As if made from a fibrous pulp and turning pages I kept trying to separate into a single sheet before realizing it’s just the papers thickness! This with a few “jumps” in story made me believe- I may have double flipped/skipped a page!! But, NoPe! Written on beautiful paper book has inviting cover and boasts longevity..<br /><br />Matted in color.. illustrations are unique + quirky fun! Little Miss Olga is one of a kind and I love her for that- along with accompanied visuals!! We all look, act, think and feel different.. some days more than others! In creating an “off the wall” character she seeps in and captures reader bc we can resonate with her emotions and may even feel our external self looks a bit odd/goofy in these moments.<br /><br />Im not bothered by “why” she is sad.. I actually appreciate we might not always know where a feeling comes from! All can feel a bit lonely, silly, needy, blue without knowing the root of why. A great + healthy concept to help be understood. Only, how story reads.. this needs explanation depending on age- Fact nothing is wrong or broken if we feel this way- I wish was addressed in story. Knowing this is more beneficial then just knowing why!<br /><br />Story continues with Olga steadfast in accepting her sadness like fate with a “nothing can make it better” attitude- Only as she begins vividly expressing feelings to ensure reader knows just how “sad!” Her forms of expression actually lift her spirits up and into her uncontrolled giggles! Something she unknowingly accomplished all by herself! Her and her colorful imagination. Another empowering moment to address: if sad you WILL be happy again and powers to do this may even be found inside you! This is where story ends- I only wish it circled back with a closing page to reiterate Olga’s accomplishments and how. I feel this is a child’s book with adult inferred conclusion.<br /><br />The missed potential- is not including a written reveal or message more clearly for its targeted audience.. As adults, we can surmise and see the intentions. Younger readers will most likely need open dialogue to discuss and digest. Hmm..? Maybe this was authors purpose all along.. to create a dialogue with reader/listener on a topic such as feelings and mental health? Only if book is read by child alone.. message becomes a lost opportunity. Flaws and all- it’s a quality find and could be a fun gift or bookshelf addition. Hoping info helps decision.. stay safe everyone.",

I felt I was perfectly prepared to identify birds in Puerto Rico, and once Covid lets up, I will get a chance to see if that proves out.<br /><br />I really can't say too much praise for this book, it is everything one could possibly need to identify the birds of the islands. The other thing you might need as a companion would be a site guide which I have not found a overly strong one yet, but this is a perfect field identification guide.",

The parents basically killed it for me when Cassie's grandmother is driving a 25 year old Honda, jees what a bunch of cheapskates! Cassie is smart, attractive and ambitious, she finds a way to support herself, she gets a contract job as a nanny for 38 year old wealthy Brook, this is a complete win-win, Brook has a cute 6 year old and Cassie has plenty of free time to pursue her degree, Brook has a live in nanny who is smart, fun and loves her kid. The story line was completely delightful. Very realistic as both Brook and Cassie make some bad decisions. I found the whole thing entertaining. Book Club worthy.",

So far, she is very pleased and gave me some good feedback.<br /><br />This is not a book for a beginner just starting out in a bird watching hobby. There are almost no pictures, no classification guides or anything like that. This is a journal, for recording dates and times when a new species is spotted. Someone who knows birds very well will know what they're seeing or know how to look it up. Someone who does not may need to take a field guide along.<br /><br />This journal includes a few checklists for different groups of birds so it's easy to review at a glance what species have been spotted already. It also has an index for finding entries.<br /><br />I like the binding. A spiral bound volume is easier to use in the field than one with a glued spine, and it should hold up longer.<br /><br />This is a great gift for an avid birder that will serve well over a lifetime of watching birds.",

"text": "This book of Christian poetry meaningfully explores themes of love, loss, grief, abuse, neglect, compassion, suffering, and forgiveness. The author uses succinct groups of words to process her emotions and includes mentions of anonymous suitors, car accidents, beloved husbands, mirrors, military service members, and forsaken outcasts. Throughout this collection of introspective ponderings, she seems to find a cathartic release.<br /><br />Every poem begins and ends with a digital or watercolor depiction, and I very much enjoyed encountering several pages of calming botanical illustrations. 🌿 Forty individual poems appear throughout this book, and they are all concise and to the point. I think their brevity gives them a sense of unshakable conviction.<br /><br />There are several included mentions of God, heaven, angels, Jesus, prayers, sin, and the Holy Bible, but since they’re all presented from a universally non-denominational standpoint, I think this publication would appeal to most. Due to the included mentions of suicide, sexual abuse, disloyalty, emotional abuse, marital affairs, physical abuse, and prostitution, I would only recommend this book to mature audiences.<br /><br />Overcoming depression is never easy, but this author uses mentions of weed sprouts and lonely, abandoned, withered, tired, old trees as metaphors for how we feel throughout various stages of life.<br /><br />This one would be a good fit for anyone battling feelings of low self-esteem, shame, or hopelessness. This book shows how self-reflection through creative expression can act as an effective coping mechanism. 🕊",

"text": "Wow…..just wow! I can’t even decide where to start. But I will say Author Nora Roberts has done it again! She never disappoints with her books. Every book she’s written is a winner. When I’m in a book slump I always grab a book of hers and read it again. Why? Because that’s how good they are. I’ve had to replace her books multiple times and in my personal home library most of her books there are doubles because I will read them over and over. Now, for this book Year One. Nora is the The Queen of The Romance genre if you ask me. Yes, I read a lot of other Romance Authors who are absolutely amazing but Nora will always be my favorite go to author. As in all of her books she brings her readers on a journey of discovery and wonder and joy and love but also there’s darkness and pain and even hate. But she spins a tale so good you don’t want to put her books down. Like now I’m trying to write a review and I have the next book in this trilogy next to me begging me to open it and see what happens next! Anyways in Year One we get to meet so many people starting with a family. Then as we go on turning the pages everything goes to hell and chaos, death and unimaginable loss ensues. But, not all die. In the midst of the nightmare something happens and what was always in some, whether they knew it or not, begins to bloom and blossom and some good some bad some have none but like before there’s some good some bad. The emotions are high and a roller coaster but oh all the feelings you can feel are there and as you experience them with the characters you find yourself part of the story and you’re scared and happy and everything right with them. Nora brings the magic and it’s so good you just have to read it to know what I know. But word to the wise just do yourself a favor and get all 3 books at the same time and just binge because you won’t want to wait to read the rest! I highly recommend this book and this Author because you will never be disappointed only Spellbound!",

"text": "Is there such a thing as objective facts? Most would say yes, but there are those who take a different view and who think what we perceive as facts and how we construct knowledge has everything to do with culture and other conditions. There is no doubt that our culture influences what we think and believe, but does it mean that plain, evident, in- your- face truth is still relevant to the individual and his/her circumstances? A book that is ready to challenge this notion is Fear of Knowledge.<br /><br />Short in length, this philosophical guide presents some of the common arguments in favor of relativism and constructivism and shows why they are not true. For someone like me, who is already against these two schools of thought, this book was a classic example of preaching to the choir. However, I did like some of the refutations it offers, and it did provide me some ammunition to use whenever someone tries to spout off in favor of these constructs.<br /><br />This philosophical book will make the most sense to students of philosophy and others who already have a basic understanding of relativism and constructivism. If you do not, it might be good to consult a reputable online source and gain an understanding before you start to read. In fact, the book could have been improved by explaining and defining relativism and constructivism better than it does. I did like some of the examples it suggests, to help readers put things into perspective. But given the increased use of relativism and constructivism over the past few years, I can think of many better, real- world examples it could have used. In addition to explaining these concepts better, I also felt the book would have been improved if it spent more time showing why objectivism is correct. It instead devotes most of its space to explaining why the other side is wrong.<br /><br />With the writing, Fear of Knowledge is good and generally free from errors, but it isn’t a book for light, easy reading. I found myself re- reading the text more than once, just to make sure I had a full grasp of what they author was trying to convey. It can get a little rough at times, but the same can be said of many philosophical books. Just be patient as you read and you shouldn’t have any trouble picking up on what the book is trying to say.<br /><br />Relativism and constructivism are all around us. These concepts do not have much to support them philosophically, but there are diehards who still think we live in a relativistic world and that no objective truth exists. Fear of Knowledge is out to change all of that. It may not succeed at converting the full- fledged relativists among us, but it does make for some good, intellectual reading for those who want to better understand this area of philosophy and who need some tools to use to strike down those who follow it.",

"text": "I love Bibles and inherited my grandmother's illustrated Bible when she passed away. The illustrations in her Bible are saturated with the deep colors and gravitas of Old Masters. There are approximately one or two in each book of the Bible.<br /><br />I bought the Kregel's Treasury of Illustrated Bible Stories hoping it would be identical to my grandmother's Bible, but it has notable differences. It is not the same as hers at all, but I am buying one for each of my adults nieces and my nephew as well as one for myself.<br /><br />Although some advertisements describe the Kregel Treasury as a children's Bible, the text is much too advanced for young children. Every page has a direct quote from a Biblical source and a facing illustration. The language and concepts are, in my opinion, suitable for young adults and adult readers.<br /><br />Overall, however, the total impression is inspiring. While the colors are not as deep or rich as those in my grandmother's Bible, the illustrations are beautifully and respectfully presented. The different Biblical sources are interesting and accessible texts. What I like to do is just sit down and start reading randomly. I find that as I do so, I begin to journey through this book and shift my focus from the day's current events -- including the pandemic -- into a focused state of reading the Bible.<br /><br />The more I read and use this book, the more I like it. It is a thoughtful gift that presents Biblical stories, parables, and lessons with pleasing illustrations by artists who have a history of creating Biblical illustrations for publication.",

A lot of the information in this book dovetails nicely with TBM, and even if you are not pursuing ITIL certification, but are moving towards TBM this book will prove extremely helpful. Of course if you are studying for the ITIL foundation exam this book is essential reading, and if you are familiar with older ITIL versions and want to get up-to-speed on ITIL 4, this book will get you there quickly.",

"text": "What a stunningly beautiful book!<br /><br />I consider myself an \"amateur\" wine person -- I lived in the SF Bay area for about a dozen years and got interested in wines then. I've visited many wineries in CA, and after moving to Washington state and retiring, I did a lot of traveling which brought me into contact with a lot of wines from other areas around the world. I've kind of made it one of my life's missions to find the best wines I can for less than $20 per bottle. Yes, great wines can be had for < $20 if you know what to look for.<br /><br />I'm always interested in learning more about wine -- you can learn only so much from wine tastings -- and when I saw this book, I thought it might be a good overview. Based on the reviews, I opted for the hardbound book rather than the Kindle edition.<br /><br />I'm so glad I did. It's a beautifully put-together book, well-deserving of its James Beard award in 2019. It covers wine basics (characteristics, flavor notes, wine glasses, storing wine, etc.), wine and food pairing, grape varieties, and wine regions throughout the world. Each chapter is well illustrated with various types of graphs/charts, maps, and color illustrations, all of which explain what might be considered more complex concepts.<br /><br />I've been experimenting with wines from New Zealand and Australia lately, so I was eager to see what the authors had to say about wines from this area. Both areas were well covered and the chapters helped \"fill in\" some of the gaps in my knowledge.<br /><br />This was far more and far better than I expected. I like it so much that I've purchased 3 more copies to have on hand as gifts for my wine-curious friends. It works for wine beginners as well as more seasoned wine connoisseurs. Highly recommended!",

Like others have mentioned, there's a lot of basic stuff here and it felt like I could find many of these types of recipes with an easy online search. And I'm probably unlike most here when I say that I think I'm over seeing 12 or 15 photos of each recipe. I literally have thousands of cookbooks and I LOVE photos, but I'm sorry I really don't need a photo of each ingredient being added to a mixer or pan. It seems distracting to the recipe instructions in this book. Photos of tricky instructions are great, but the mundane, unnecessary photos are bothering me LOL. I'm keeping the book but disappointed with it. If I had seen it first in a store I would not have purchased it. Sorry Ree, this one missed the mark.<br /><br />Edited to add that I've decided to return this book. After going through it again I realize I will never use it.",

You only need one art book like this, but if you don't have one yet, I highly recommend this one. I can tell the author really knows what they are talking about, and cares a lot about the subject, and helping new artists get to where they want to be. You could always teach yourself to draw on your own, but this will help you get there a thousand times faster. If you know someone that likes anime and wants to start drawing, then this would be a perfect gift.",

If you always wondered what Cabbage Apple stew or Sweetrolls from Skyrim tasted like, now you can make them yourself in the real world using this book. I absolutely LOVED reading through this book. You not only get the recipes, but some of the lore behind them. I've made a few of the recipes so far and they have all been very good. I made the Nord Oatmeal Shortbread (delicious), and the Companions Meatball Potato Bake. Both of these were a great success.<br /><br />I really enjoy the author's slightly unusual sense of spice use. She has created her own spice mixes and they are fantastic. They use combinations of spices that are just slightly different from the norm. For instance, the shortbread cookies...which are sweet...use the Nord Spice mix that includes Grains of Paradise. If you have never heard of that (like me) it is a spice that is a little bit like black pepper, BUT BETTER! It has a little bit of hot, spicy flavor that is fantastic. I was a little hesitant to put it in the shortbread, but it was GREAT! I never would have ever thought of doing something like that without the encouragement of this book.<br /><br />I absolutely LOVE this cookbook. I recommend it to ANYONE, whether you've played the games or not, you will find so many wonderful recipes here to love.",

"text": "I watched an online lecture a few months ago by Karyn Tripp where she talked about STEAM projects and demonstrated a couple of these math art ideas. I loved that she went from hating math to loving teaching it to her kids because she found creative ways to make the patterns and ideas fun, and I was excited to get her book when it came out. This book is fabulous! I was initially impressed with the quality of the layout and got excited to learn about the cultural math section, and then my 11-year-old squirreled the book away before I could get a good look at it. I borrowed it back and read through it, and I am excited to do these projects with my kiddos! Each project is explained well with photographs and some sections give further ideas to inspire more fun.<br /><br />Several projects are simple enough that a tween that can follow directions could do it on their own or a teenager could help younger kids with it if a parent is busy. This isn't a book you can just hand to a child, but it does say inside that it's aimed at ages 8-12, and some of the drawing exercises could be done without much parental help while some of the projects are messier and more creative. It looks like a nice variety, and I like the chapter setup. There is a materials list, but the majority of it is craft stuff you probably have in your house--paper, markers, colored pencils, straws, yarn. I think the only things I'll need to purchase are glycerin, pipe cleaners, suction cups, and embarrassingly, a compass and protractor. I'm excited to play some of the games and test out the 3-D shapes. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is because we haven't yet done the projects, but we plan to very soon.",

I was fine with pips for the minor arcana, but not all the minor arcana are pips.<br /><br />It is a mish-mash of pips and characters as seen in the included pictures. In the first, it shows the ace of bones, two of bones and the three of bones. You can see that the first two cards are pips, the 3 of bones is Eve, the 4 of bones is a pip, etc. Essentially the 3,5,6,9, and 10 have characters and 1,2,4,7, and 8 are pips.<br /><br />It makes the deck feel very confusing and chaotic.<br /><br />I love the characters they chose for the major arcana, they did really well, it's just a shame they didn't make the rest of the deck more cohesive.<br /><br />The artwork is lovely, the color choices are well balanced and effective, but the card stock isn't the greatest quality. Be warned it tends to be a little sticky while shuffling, but I expect that will get better with use.<br /><br />As a fan of the show, and a professional tarot reader, I'd say they're neat to have, but if you are trying to learn, these would probably be slightly confusing to pick up on. I'd recommend something more traditional to aid in teaching the Rider-Waite system.<br /><br />That said, I do enjoy the major arcana in this deck, and might just use it on its own, with a different deck to clarify.<br /><br />The guidebook is well written and contains information for upright and reversals.<br />Currently, I consider these as more of a souvenir, and less of a working deck, I will update if that changes with use.",

I enjoyed the way the author approached the subject, making this an informative and yet highly readable book. Somewhere between popular non-fiction and an intellectual study, this book kept me turning pages without boredom.<br /><br />I liked that Jay Lockenour managed to offer so many rarely given details about the life of this man, both inside and outside in infamous career.<br /><br />If you are curious about this major historical figure, I can't think of a better book to read to satisfy your curiosity.
