I enjoyed these short stories about Lake Tahoe and the Gold Country. Each story was about two pages long, but were filled with lots of historical information. You can tell the author spent a great deal of time to research these stories.

Natural Bridge has a long and fascinating history which Kastning does an excellent job of conveying. Over the centuries countless thousands have viewed and enjoyed this scenic wonder in the Shenandoah Valley. The ingenuity of its promoters has been truly remarkable, and this book describes the many commercial and recreational uses to which Natural Bridge has been put. The photos and text in this book cover all aspects of the attraction, even down to details of the restaurant kitchens and equipment for the sound and light show. Recommended for both visitors to the site and those more generally interested in a great American attraction.

When two men raced each other from Mill Valley, California to Stinson Beach (then known as Willow Camp) in 1904, they probably never realized that their race would evolve into more than just a race; it would practically become a cult following. While only a little over 7 miles, the Dipsea Race is known for its steep slopes, long stairways, dangerous terrain, and gorgeous scenery, as well as its handicapping system which, in the past, has resulted in 69-year-old men and 9-year-old girls winning the race.
This book, by Barry Spitz, does a wonderful job of chronicling the amazing history of the second oldest race in the United States.  While much of the book focuses on the actual races, one of the things I liked the best about the book was the short paragraphs telling interesting, sometimes humorous, stories about each of the races.  The book also includes a fold-out, full-color topographical map of the course.
If I could make any improvement to the book, I'd include more photos and make at least some of them in color. While the photos inthe book now are nice, they don't come close to conveying the actual beauty of the race.
This is definitely a book for anyone who knows and loves the Dipsea Race(like me!) or anyone who is interested in the history of cross-country running in the United States.

I learned a lot about British Aristocracy in this book. For instance, if you become the Dowager Countess you have to move out of the estate. That is why Violet, lives in a separate home in "Downtown Abbey".  I found that rather interesting. This book was a real find on many accounts. The story of the finding of the Tomb of King Tut in Egypt by Lord Carnarvon  and his friend was the most spellbinding of all. I would highly recommend this book to those who are interested in knowing the history of Highclerce  and the family who lived there.  Of course, Lady Almina story is as interesting as "Downtown Abbey".

Great book if one is interested in beauty history, the history of what women have done throughout the ages to make themselves 'pretty'. Interesting read, and worth your time. Not dry and boring, but well written historical perspective.

Great informative book, all the information to get started on opening a medspa or adding it your practice. I opened my first of 3 medspa's in the 1990's and there was nothing like this and she has put together everything that took me 20 years to learn, in 1 detailed book, oh I wish I had this. It is alot of inside information that I had to learn the hard way! I  bookmarked many pages and highlighted many things, and with all my experience, I did not think I would learn so much more! Highly recommended and will save you alot of time and money by going with what Cheryl has put into this book!

Billionaire, model and architect Dominic meets historian Sage and go searching for the story behind the story behind the abandoned villa Vieux Moulin where Dominic intends to build his next hotel.
Over the top sex scenes but the history and marine archaeology aspects of the story make up somewhat for this.  Hopefully the second book brings in more of the history of the villa.

Great book. How to enjoy the art of a "shave spa" in a time when everyone is in such a rush! I spend about 35 minutes shaving . Why should women have all the self pampering pleasure?
Wonderful references.
Do yourself a favor read this book.

Recently, I purchased the Ghosts of Boston by Sam Baltrusis. His accounts of the historical haunts from a journalist point of view were very thorough and well written. I really enjoyed learning about the history of some of Boston's best haunt spot and the personal interviews in the book gave it a very "real" feeling. As an avid reader of paranormal books, and magazines, I always look for the stories that are most informative and Sam gave just that. I'm looking forward to reading more of Sam's books in the future and hopefully visiting the city of Boston in future travels. This is a great read!

The book is quite expensive but it is a good one as other reviewers have said.  It gives details as to how saunas work and why they are good for you.  Basically you get a history of sauna use.  Next you get many charts of what the sauna does for different health problems.  Finally, you get a step by step of how to properly take a sauna both before and after.  I have the book out for reference and enjoy it.

Learning about the history of the tantric massage was fascinating. This book gave me an excellent general guide like to tantric massage which was not in my awareness.

Love this book.  It has great photographs and is very informative.  Some of the photos in the book would be great framed.  I have long been fascinated by the art beneath our feet.  Manholes are functional and artistic.  Thanks to Mimi Melnick maybe more people will come to appreciate their beauty and history.

I really liked this book.  I grew up in Asheville, and returned home three years ago.  I have heard the local lore that about Highland Hospital, and it was very interesting to me to read about the historical facts mixed with the fictional story of this young lady.  The way the author describes mental illness and the treatments of the day was fascinating as well.  I would recommend this book even if you don't know Asheville, and if you've never been here, you should visit!

If you are interested in Telos, Lemurians, Mt. Shasta or the ancient history, which is not normally presented..this is a great book.

Enjoyed hearing about the history of the place and seeing it's priceless treasures.  Starring as it does in Downton Abbey will go a long way towards its upkeep.  As the countess says "it never fluffs its lines."
