Redundant and only slightly informative.  If you want a guide book, buy something else.

There is nothing you can learn. Very basic. Just Some technical terms here and there, that's it.

This book reads as a basic outline of container gardening that's trying to make itself out to be more but not really succeeding. If you know absolutely nothing at all about gardening or growing plants in containers, this book probably has some helpful information for you. If know anything at all about gardening or growing plants in containers, then you would be best served looking for a better, more detailed book.

The author actually recommends salting beds to kill weeds. Well, the joke is on anyone who actually acts on this advice as salt will also kill any of the food and flower plants you're trying to grow in that bed. There is a section suggesting saving seeds for planting in subsequent years, but virtually no useful information about how to do that for any plant, just generic 'some seeds to this, some seeds do something else, just dry them in some rice' sorts of statements. Not helpful at all. Canning is also mentioned several times and the author suggests getting a water bath [canner], but there is no mention that none of the suggested crops can be safely preserved by canning in a water bath canner other than pickling and attempting to can your vegetables in a water bath canner instead of a pressure canner can result in foods infected with potentially lethal things like botulism. I feel suggesting that the reader look into canning as a preservation method without knowing enough to be able to state that attempting to can certain foods without a pressure canner is irresponsible, very dangerous, and downright negligent on the part of the author.

In addition to the glaring lack of useful information, which is vastly outweighed by the amount of harmful and outright omitted information, this book is riddled with grammatical, syntax, and spelling errors. I don't think this "book" was edited at all prior to publication. Examples of this include poor sentence structure such as "When you are trying to start your own mini farm, then you need to do your own research as well," bad homonym use such as "quarts" instead of "quartz" and a complete failure to proof-read resulting in "pre-cute" instead of "pre-cut." The author also makes obvious contradictions from one chapter to the next with statements like "You'll need to be self-sufficient year round, which will also require canning and preservation techniques that can be learned at a later date" and "Food preservation methods are a way to become self-sufficient year round, but are not necessarily needed."

Overall, I cannot, in good faith, recommend this book to anyone. You would be much better off doing some Google searches and getting your information from the internet at large, purchasing legitimate gardening books, or visiting your library to read a real book by someone who knows real information about gardening. In the current boom of urban homesteading and small scale farming, books on these topics are not difficult to find and your local librarian will undoubtedly have some recommendations which you could then take back here to Amazon and do some searches for used copies of the books to get a better deal on the information you need. I received this item free for my honest and unbiased review and that is what you have here. I never promise positive reviews and I am as honest as possible in my writing about the items I review so I hope this review has been helpful to you.

1.  When you read the instructions, you see that it comes with a link to a "helpful" video showing one how to put the case on one's Kindle.  But the video is more interested in demonstrating how easy it is rather than how to do it- its an insultingly speeded-up film showing someone doing it lightning fast- in other words, it's basically worthless, with the message "its so easy, you don't need a video, unless you are a moron."

2. No matter how many times I put it on, one corner will not stay snapped in place.  If it snaps in place, it will eventually unsnap, leaving a gap for water to get in.  You'd think that for the money you have to pay for this, it would fit properly.  It does not.  Another insult in the instructions- it shows you how to take your Kindle out of the case by using a coin to turn the grips, as if the Kindle is "locked" into the case.  All I have to is pull up and it pops right out, because it's not being held properly.

I'll keep this case, because it's tough and I can see that my Kindle is much safer in it- but again, for what they charge you, it seems they should make this case so that it fits like a glove.  It is VERY irritating to press down hard over and over again to try to make a permanent fit, only to have a corner pop out again and again.  Naturally, this means it's not watertight, JUST splash resistant.  If that's good enough for you, go ahead and buy this.  Maybe the versions for the other Kindles fit better.  This is disappointing.

(And BTW, KlearKase offers instructions on how to put the case in online- for Kindle Fire and Kindle2- NOT Kindle Keyboard.  So they SELL the Kindle Keyboard case, but don't link to instructions.  Very unprofessional.)

(A small piece of Scotch tape, applied tightly to the difficult corner and the back of the case, made it fit snugly. Should NOT be necessary, but as I accidentally ruined my first Kindle by pressing it against a hard surface and messing up the e-ink, I'd rather have this than no hard cover at all.)

This book will only appeal to you if you are already firmly on the anti-Trump bandwagon, have bought into all the hysteria about him, do not have a great knowledge of current affairs, and are desperate to become an activist. If this is not you, you will find this book neither particularly entertaining, nor especially informative. This is an activist text through and through, and should be recognised as such. Its limited analyses are of poor quality, and it really is just a set of instructions on how to actualise your anti-Trump views in the physical world. It is clear that the author buys into a set of views which are not terribly accurate, and apparently is targeting a market of similar people. If you  want something intelligent, do not waste your money on this.

This must be a not-so-good joke. It can hardly be called a book, as it is barely a short pamphlet. The "History From Beginning to End" is a maximally condensed rehash of obvious and redundant truths. It is definitely not a history work, the level being at most a short homework project for a very average Junior High student. A glimpse at a Wikipedia is much more informative and insightful. The subtitle "Hourly History" cannot refer to the length of the pamphlet (it does not merit an hour of your time), neither to the description of the narrative (which is decade-by-decade at best). Do not waste your time

If you are so disconnected from the world that this book is helpful to you then you are probably too far gone already.

Did you know that there are things out there called Art Fairs? No? Then there's a whole chapter telling you that there is! Of course all the chapter does is tell you to buy the leading art fair magazine. No joke!

Does hearing that you should find a way to make potential buyers feel like their lives will be enriched by your art fill you with ideas? If so then you've got a whole chapter beating that very notion to death. You think I'm kidding?

If those things seem novel to you, here's another: It's called the internet and you can find out everything in this book and more, including actual working links and contact information, for a lot less money.

Sorry, this book is not very good. There is just absolutely nothing new in it and it's told in such a demeaning/upbeat style that will have all but the most bright-eyed and bushy-tailed gnashing their teeth. If it isn't a gallery then this book considers it "new" and wastes no amounts of usefulness giving it a gloss-over.

It's basically an informative power point. Not an actual book; It's a waste to publish this and waste so much paper and ink on it.

If you want to waste 10 or 20 yrs studying this book then that's fine. Don't expect miracles from this book. I emailed Mark. And, asked him about the changing of positions, Cause, the tabs on this book won't help at all when you're going down the fret board. And, All the modes etc...That he instructs you to play in all keys and rhythms.

Well, he emailed me and actually just repeated what it was indicated on the book.

If you just want to play useless modes that won't integrate and get to where you want to go? Then go for it. Otherwise my opinion is; This is one of the worse books I ever came across. Waste of money and time. Useless. there's a whole bunch of systems that are way better. The book in my Opinion doesn't make much sense at all. And, I'm very familiar with the modes at studied to advance theory. Don't expect to be playing any gigs soon using this book. You'll still need a lot more material than this. You'll just probably get bored with it; And, it'll be just collecting dust.

Most of the reviews written here are far more concise, clear, and well presented than this book.  I totally agree with the comment that says this book could easily be a third of its size because that is all the content there actually is and I'm being generous.  The book is like an infomercial in that it harps over and over and over and over and over again about the amazing benefits of this program to the detriment of the actual content.  He could have started with one chapter or even two in the beginning which "sells" the reader on the program and then actually got down to the meat of subject.  Instead the book is very poorly organized, nearly impossible to understand, and practically a waste of time.  It took me far too long to pull the bits out that actually explain the program because they aren't in any logical order and are separated by more schmaltzy infomercial talk.

Look, I've got the book, I'm very interested in the program, when the heck are you going to stop trying to sell me on it?

Once you pull out the bits actually pertaining to how to USE the program in your life I felt that there were many questions that remained unanswered and things he should have gone over.  In the end he throws in a quick bit about some calisthenics that he suggest you do, but doesn't explain how they fit into the program.  Do I do these as a part of the program?  Do I do them separately?  What about people with injuries?  What about people who want to build back up strength and flexibility as well?  I do think that this program is the right track, but the book is simply awful.  I returned mine to his company for a refund partially because it was not worth the money and didn't tell me anything you can't find about his program on the internet and partially because it is MUCH cheaper on Amazon.  If you want to start the program I suggest you get the book from the library and skim to the few parts that actually matter.

I don't understand how this book got published without an Editor or advisor or anyone looking at it and saying "Wow, we can cut out 90% of this garbage" and maybe even add some more real information.

For those of you actually using the system what did you do about the calisthenics?

This is way too short to be of much use whatsoever unless you're completely unaware of what 'small talk' is.

We got this with high hopes of the information being presented in unique ways.  It wasn't.  There were goofy things thrown in the middle.  It's basically your boring old algorithms taught by young adults.  I can see why the show is no longer on PBS.  It doesn't get kids excited about math, it's not interesting.  Cyberchase is better, even though it's at a lower level.  There are many better products out there.  Don't bother with this one.

It's as tho someone decided to write a rambling rehash of info already out there.  Nothing new here.  Save your money.

It's a waste of time.  She is tell us things that we already know.
