Fabulous resource to have on hand

I take several of Moskowitz's books with us when we camp in the Oregon wilderness, but this one even came in handy when we needed to identify whatever critter family had invaded our attic space. Wonderful for looking up based on signs or sightings, it's also pleasurable to just sit and pour over.

I purchased this book hoping for a resource to have "just in case", but it's actually a lot more.  The book gives lots of illustrations and examples for things I can do now, and think about before I need it.  I live in California and found this book after reading it was used by local fire departments to support disaster victims.  I think it's worth the price to have all this info in one place instead of trying to google all these details when I probably won't have internet access anyway, or will be in huge crisis/panic.  Plus, I never knew I needed to know all the stuff in this book!

This is a terrific sock knitting resource! I am loving the book. Im a pretty seasoned sock knitter and am able to knit a sock/create my own sock patterns. I have been enjoying all the historical detail the author has included as well as her math-brained customization techniques that she has included. Having one resource that details so many different, heels and shapes of feet they fit best is of great value. Essentially, armed with this book, I feel confident I can make a sock that fits for anyone in my family.

If there ever is a revised edition, Id love to see a more prominent chart (or even include in the abbreviations table in the back) that define the universal variables like S, X, G, etc.

Between the Roasted Bell Pepper Soup, and the Chicken Paella alone I was sold on this cookbook. It really is a great resource -- I can see it being a memory jogger on busy work weeks, when I'm trying to come up with something healthy, quick, and filling for the family.

I wasn't familiar with 'dump cakes' prior, but they all sound delicious and I'm anxious to try my hand at a pineapple upside-down style cake, perhaps modifying some of the recipes available. Great inspiration here as well...

My wife and I got this for our wedding, and it has been a very handy resource. Dr. Mendelson--an attorney and philosophy professor as well as mother and housekeeper--is rigorous in going over every aspect of house keeping, but also is aware that people are often busy with many other things at the same time. She does a beautifuly job of enunciating her overarching philosophy of keeping house in the first chapter: she does not keep a neat home out of mere obsessiveness, but so that she and her family can truly feel at ease in a safe, neat  living space. The result is a very balanced, readable book. I could see how housekeeping manuals making people roll their eyes at the author's obsessiveness, but Mendelson reaches her audience well.

Of particular interest to me is that she covers health in the household: allergies, safe food handling, hygiene, child-proofing  are all treated in the book. I was surprised to see that she also has a chapter on slips and falls--these can happen to anyone, but in a nation where the elderly are the fastest growing segment of the population, this is something that we should be more aware of.

This is an aweeeeesome resource - for all emergency room providers. We use it on our i-pads/phones in the pit - and the videos are a nice edition. The only complaint I have is that there should be a print version! Really excited for this APPs version.... a book like this  is a go-to resource that I will use pretty much every day. Organized, easy to read and access material. AMAZING photos. There is also a section on basic radiology which is cool.

This book is a fabulous resource for any parent, teacher, friend or caregiver of children. It demystifies the book selection process and makes choosing the right book so much fun.

The introduction gives a number of suggestions regarding how to choose books for your child(ren) and then the chapters that follow are broken down for each age group. The age span for each chapter is several years wide (usually over a three year spread) so making an appealing choice for children of various ages is easy.

The book lists are arranged alphabetically within each chapter and each title is annotated with a brief description. As I read the annotations, I not only found books my kids would love to hear, I found ones I would like to read. The lists include a wide assortment of fiction and nonfiction titles as well as many notable folk and fairy tales of national and international origin.

I highly recommend this book. It's a fantastic resource and so affordably priced.

How I wish I'd owned this book when my children were younger--it is the ultimate resource for the tricky and often nerve-wracking task of figuring out what to feed your kids. Informative, cleverly organized, thorough, and creative, this book is extremely useful, plus a pleasure to flip through. I highly recommend it!

Yes!  Thank you for this book.  It's a perfect reference to have handly not only for my current website but also anything I do in the future.  I'm sure I'll forget half these tips in a few weeks so it's great to have this resource.  He covers everything from hosting, to designs, to social media.  I was pleasantly surprised to see the bit about Relationships, in this case meaning interacting with others on the web.  Comments, forums, twitter, facebook, gravatar images.  Good points and well done for including it.

This is an exceptional resource for someone seeking variety and inspiration for gathering and centering people before a meeting or gathering. It's correlation with the liturgical calendar makes it particularly useful for groups affiliated with liturgical traditions. My Administrative Assistant borrowed it so often I purchased a volume for her use as well.

This book is very straight-forward and easy to use, chock full of useful information. The organization is simple, and listings are complete (containing year published and prizes received, as well as author, illustrator and edition info) and informative. Not only do they give information about the content and it's value to a child, but also its source and its context and an opinion about the best edition in which to invest and the availability of different editions (where useful)!
Wide margins are included, for note-taking.
There are multiple indexes at the end which are invaluable in themselves - about 80 pages worth! The titles are indexed by title, author, illustrator, age-appropriate, and special subject.  A bibliography is also included.
This resource is a valuable and delightful resource for any family

The BEST go to resource for just about anything and everything concerning natural health, it's ailments and a complete guide to which natural plants and herbs can be gently and effectively introduced to help support and maintain good health practices. No matter what page this book falls open to there is a wealth of interesting information and tips using clear, easy to understand insight and explanations. Highly, HIGHLY recommend as a interestingly(!) good read and one I'm actually relieved to have on hand.
