Simon & Schuster's Guide to Garden Flowers (Nature Guide Series) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Finally, a book small enough to carry out to the garden with me for reference yet compact with enough information to enable me to find answers to my basic questions regarding best locations, season, size, appearance, care, possible difficulties, etc. I found the illustrated key next to each written description...

Chemistry Connections, Second Edition: The Chemical Basis of Everyday Phenomena (Complementary Science) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)There are a lot of books out there explaining the chemistry of everyday things. For sheer readability, I recommend Prof. Joe Schwarcz's series of books, which are readily available on Amazon. The shortcoming of Dr. Joe's books, and most books for the general public, is that they aren't really meant to...

Tiny Home to Call Your Own: Living Well in Just Right Houses Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I got this book thinking it would help me design a small dwelling, but was disappointed. It doesn't contain house plans to compare or copy or detailed descriptions of handling essential systems (heating, plumbing, etc.). Instead it's more about psyching the reader up-- encouraging the reader that it...

Solar Home, The (How-To Guides) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)As a compliment to other books on the subject this one would suffice to add some detail, but I certainly am glad it's not the only book on solar home building I own.
