I had purchased Dori Caymmi's CDs in the past and always been satisfied.  Shortly after this one was released, I was successful in purchasing a signed copy on eBay that had been won by an individual in a contest.  I played it so much it began to disintegrate!  That, was just how much, I came to love this CD.  The signed copy now sits sealed in a baggie awaiting my plans to have it framed and matted for posterity's sake as a memento.  For those of you who do not know, Dori is the son of the late Brazilian composer, the great Dorival Caymmi.  Dori's siblings are Danilo and Nana Caymmi, both musicians in their own rights; Danilo, a composer and musician singer too like his father and brother.  Nana Caymmi - she has, in my estimation, one of the sexiest, most beautiful, inspiring and comforting voices on the Planet Earth (check her out, too, on YouTube!).  Back to this wonderful Dori Caymmi CD, it is a masterpiece as he soars now at the height of his powers!  You might, given my example, want to buy two copies for when you wear the first one out...Congratulations Dori and "thank you" for this one!:D:.)

Romi is REAL, and down to earth, yet fabulous, at the same time!! This book is absolutely LOADED with invaluable information. I have read it twice, and skimmed it a third time, and yet I know that when I open this book up yet again, little nuggets of wisdom & encouragement will fall into my lap yet again! I cannot speak highly enough of this book. If you are starting your own business, running your own business, or thinking about it: YOU NEED THIS BOOK.

I love this book!  I bought another copy for my mother-in-law because she liked the stories so much. Sophie is a great storyteller with a lot of heart. If you love great storytelling you may love this book!

UPDATE:  I have now re-read this book and love it this time just as much as the first time!  I love the short chapters--each dedicated to a laugh-out-loud story.  Some of these sweet gems catch you off guard and bring a tear to you eye, but they are all so so good.

This book has become a family favorite.  Our 96-year-old mother is no longer able to read novels because she has lost the kind of memory you need to follow a story.  She does crossword puzzles with an ability that amazes us daily.  The good part of this book is its consistency, unlike the Charles Timmerman follow-up which is impossible.  Since our mother has lost her short-term memory, you would not think she could do crossword puzzles that would seem to require a good memory.  Even she does not know how she does it....nor do we.  If you want some large print, easy puzzles, grab this book.  You will love it, even if you do it over and over.

My daughter has loved the Okee Dokee Brothers for several years, since she first listened to their Spanish CD, "Excelente Fabuloso."  But "Can You Canoe" is a staple around our house because the music is lovely, the lyrics are clever, and we can both jam out to it.  It's not "plinky" kids' music or condescending.  I find myself humming several of the tunes during the day at work!  Great stuff!  Non-Raffi, Non-Barney, non-migraine-inducing.  Thank you, Justin and Joe, for such great music!

Too bad I misplaced my 1st copy! Just purchased again and will read this book for the second time. It was very well written and had me glued to it's pages the first time I read it years ago, I just had to read it again!

I have a heavily used copy of this book and as that would indicate I love it. I bought this copy for a friend and she raves about it as well. If you are a fan of Rumi, it is a must-read.

I have been a fan of Miriam Sorrell for years.  I own her first cookbook, Mouthwatering Vegan and have been relying on her recipes in my kitchen.  I am a regular on her blog.  She is a passionate advocate for animals and one of the most amazing creators of good food you will find anywhere! (Not to mention a truly lovely person.)  So, when I discovered that she had a second book coming out, I quickly placed a pre-order with Amazon.  As a passionate vegan cook myself, I have a few favorite authors who are always innovative and creative, and those are the cookbooks I reach for when I'm looking for something good to cook.  Miriam is indeed one of these.  My recipe library will always have anything she writes in it!
The day I received my copy of Yasou in the mail,  I spent the rest of the afternoon reading it, and she once again did NOT disappoint!  This book has more of a Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flair which honors that part of her heritage.  The recipes follow the traditional techniques, and all of the recipes are fully vegan, and fully DELICIOUS!!  The pictures make you want to eat the page. You absolutely MUST have this book in your cookbook library.  You will find it will be one of those "go to" cookbooks that you rely on to always have a good outcome.  Thanks once again, Miriam, for making me look good in the kitchen!! I'm a fan for life.  You ROCK!!!

I read this years ago in college and I had lost my copy. I had such a good memory of this book that I bought it a second time to keep it in our library. The perspective of evolution from Loren Eiseley is genius!

I remember liking this book when I first started reading it. Adoquei has some interesting and insightful things to say. But I just discovered it on my shelf the other day and realized I hadn't yet read the last two essays. Just read them earlier today and was blown away. If you don't walk away blown open with inspiration, motivation, purpose, and understanding....I don't know what to tell you.

Doesn't hurt that the author is close with one of my favorite musical artists : )

I bought this deck when I first started out--about 7 years ago.  What sold me on it to begin with was the artwork and the immagery contained on every card in the deck.  Now that she has a new book out on the deck--which will  be my next purchase...i fully intend to make use of this marvelous woman's  talent and gifts.  I also suggest her other book out "When, If,  Why" to anyone interested in furthering their knowledge in pagens and  what they are about.  BB to all!
