Poodle Clipping and Grooming.......2007-05-16
Another grooming book for my collection. A wonderful book (although not a current 2006/7), it displays great pictures, explores and explains different clipping styles available for poodles. A great book for the beginner to gain more knowledge or a more in depth book for the professional. Black & White print.

the gold standard in poodle grooming.......2007-01-17
I chose this book because it has been known as the gold standard in poodle grooming books for many years. I am just beginning to groom my two standard poodles and this book is very helpful. It covers trimmers and other grooming equipment thoroughly and has a great chart that explains what type of cut each numbered blade provides, for five different brands of trimmers. It includes almost every type of cut you might consider giving your poodle and each cut has great photographs and/or black and white drawings that help you visiualize what you are doing. The book also has seperate sections for how to groom feet, topknot, tail, face, stomach and ears- I have refered to these chapters many times and they have very helpful instructions and tips. I would highly recommend this book, it will be the only one you need-its so complete. Many people are surprised to find that I am grooming my own dogs and they often comment that the dogs look like they went to a professional.

The book got a little bit longer with every turn of the page........2007-07-05
I was given this book as an award for winning psychology student of the department at my high school. I, as a psychology student, am not a fan of all the neuroscience, and I believe that's why my teacher chose this book for me. It started off interestingly and I really actually enjoyed the first two chapters. However, as the book continued, it just got a little bit longer and harder to read as I moved into later chapters. The author didn't really do a good job of staying on track, fully explaining his ideas, and then explaining them correctly. What made the book even worse was that he puts all of his numerical notes at the end of the book and not as footnotes. Therefore, I had to constantly turn back and forth and save two pages when I stopped reading.
I ended up just closing the book instead of reading the last 15 pages because I wasn't happy with the way Ramachandran did this.
Brief Tour of Human Consciousness.......2007-06-14
I have read, and own, several previous books by Dr. Ramachandran and have fully enjoyed every one of them. This book is less intensely full of scientific jargon than his prior books, but is every bit as enjoyable. For those who haven't read much, or any, books on the fascinating workings of the human brain this just may be the book to start with! I can promise you'll be hooked on the subject.
He is a talented writer who makes a difficult subject available to the non-scientist without your ever feeling talked down to.
Buy this book and be ready to make plenty of room in the science section of your bookshelves!
Not as good as his other book.......2007-06-05
I purchased this book after reading and loving "Phantoms in the Brain," also by Dr. Ramachandran. I was sorely disappointed. This book stands on its own; if it weren't for "Phantoms" I would have to rate this higher. However, this is merely a watered-down version of his earlier work: most of the content is the same and there is less of it. "Phantoms in the Brain" is nearly twice the length and, being the older book, still costs a little less. They're both intensely fascinating, but there is no reason to buy this book. Buy "Phantoms in the Brain" instead.
Read Phantoms instead.......2007-05-11
I read Phantoms in the Brain by the same author and was wowed, so I bought this book and was sorely disappointed that it really really is a shorter, less interesting version of Phantoms in the Brain. Don't waste your time on this book just buy Phantoms in the Brain. I wish I had read the other reviews earlier that said this before I ordered it!
It's all in your mind.......2006-08-22
V.S. Ramachanchandran has a produced a wonderful book which delivers exactly what its title promises.
Through patients he's treated we learn about brain anatomy, various physical disfunctions what they say about human limits and overcoming them and why some people associate color with numbers and why that has anything important to say about humans generally.
Along the way, Ramachandran says more noteworthy things about art and why people are attracted to it than any philosophy course or supposedly "learned" treatese attempting to answer the question of "what is art."
What's more Ramachandran has skill with the spoken language so that his ideas are readily accessible to the layman yet still relevant to the specialist (who will no doubt enjoy seeing his field of study through another's eyes).
An excellent read; an excellent book; an excellent purchase!
Amazon.com
Jeanne Marie Laskas is 37, with a house, garden, dog, cat, flourishing writing career--all of the perfect ingredients, in fact, of a happy city-person's life--when a childhood dream resurfaces. It is a farm dream, this "song I couldn't get out of my head," and it would make more sense, she ruefully admits, if she were "at least the farm dream type. A person with some deep personal longing to churn butter." But not Laskas. She likes malls. She eats Lean Cuisine. She believes "very deeply in the power of air conditioning, microwave ovens, and very many things you plug in." Nonetheless, she spends weekends on make-believe "farm shopping" excursions with her boyfriend, Alex, who is another city person, a shrink and the owner of an honest-to-goodness poodle--a farm dream disqualifier, if ever there were one. Then, one summer afternoon, the perfect place appears, and it's very real: fifty acres, a pond, an Amish barn, and a magnificent view out over the rolling hills of Pennsylvania's Washington County. They fall in love. They buy the farm. Goodbye, city-person life.
But the scenery with which they fell in love is not quite like the scenery in postcards. Things need to be done to it, and all of these things involve buying and learning how to use different kinds of tractor attachments. And then there are the neighbors: the sheep farmer who shoots dogs, the curious proliferation of Joe Crowleys, everywhere the hunters. ("Congratulations on your ... dead deer," is all Alex can think to say to them.) Over the year that follows, the two city slickers find out a great deal about livestock, tractor attachments, and themselves; all of which is related in Laskas's funny, warm, conversational style. As she leaves behind her ordered, interior world for one that's gorgeously, chaotically exterior, Fifty Acres and a Poodle becomes much more than just a book about learning to live in the country; it is, in fact, a book about learning to live--dead groundhogs, emotional messes, and all. You don't need your own farm dream to fall in love with this witty and winning memoir, but it wouldn't hurt to look through the real estate pages, just in case. --Mary Park
Book Description
Jeanne Marie Laskas had a dream of fleeing her otherwise happy urban life for fresh air and open space — a dream she would discover was about something more than that. But she never expected her fantasy to come true — until a summer afternoon’s drive in the country.
That’s when she and her boyfriend, Alex — owner of Marley the poodle — stumble upon the place she thought existed only in her dreams. This pretty-as-a-picture-postcard farm with an Amish barn, a chestnut grove, and breathtaking vistas is real ... and for sale. And it’s where she knows her future begins.
But buying a postcard — fifty acres of scenery — and living on it are two entirely different matters. With wit and wisdom, Laskas chronicles the heartwarming and heartbreaking stories of the colorful two- and four-legged creatures she encounters on Sweetwater Farm.
Against a backdrop of brambles, a satellite dish, and sheep, she tells a tender, touching, and hilarious tale about life, love, and the unexpected complications of having your dream come true.

Fifty Acres and a Poodle.......2007-08-16
I love this book and this author, I bought her second book and enjoyed it as well.
Heartwarming, comical and hard to put down!.......2007-07-16
Fifty Acres & A Poodle is about the author Jeanne Marie Laskas' dreams of farm living. She wants to get away from the urban way of life and move to a place with beauty and fresh air. She feels there is something missing from her life. She takes a drive one day and spots her dream place. She goes through doubts and fears but finally decides to go for her dream.
She and her boyfriend Alex move into the farmhouse, fix it up, get engaged and later married. They end up with a horse and a mule too! Not to mention they end up with some great friends.
More than the basic story, I found this about the author's search for God, her true self and a live filled with love. She wanted to love and be loved. Those were the very things she felt were missing in her life and she found them at her farm. I found myself identifing with Ms. Laskas through much of the book.
If you like memoir-type stories that are comical, honest, soul searching and about animals this book will not disappoint you. Invest in the hardcover as it's one book you probably will not want to part with after reading it.
Coming of Age - In Mid Life.......2007-04-09
Told in first person, with lots of humor, but a deep side as well. The big questions come to mind as this 30's something gal consideres a move from city dweller to farm hand, from girl friend to wife. Causes one to ponder about the meaning of love, life and friends. Well written, enjoyable story.
I had to read all of them.......2007-01-10
I have been a fan of Jeanne Marie Laskas ever since she starting writing a column in Ladies Home Journal. After laughing my head off at one of the articles - it occured to me to see if she had any books. SCORE! I was so excited that she had three! I got the first one and read it in two sittings. I ordered the Exact Same Moon during a snack break on that first sitting and the minute that one "shipped" I ordered Growing Girls.
I loved every single one of them.
I've loaned them out so many times now - I don't know who has them and ended up buying another copy of each!
Must read!
What a tale!.......2006-11-06
I read the "sequel" first, so this book was even more interesting...I won't spoil it by telling you why! The author shares the story of a major shift in her life in a way that reads like fiction. The characters, the backdrop of a beautiful farm, the barely believable experiences all come together to spin a yarn of exceptional quality. It made me yearn to follow the same path - bumps, ruts, floods and all. Escapism at its very best - her attitude is honest, her writing exceptionaland the story itself makes you feel as though you have gained an invaluable friend. Be sure to read her next book - how wonderful to know you can continue along on her journey!

Answering life's deeper questions..........2005-06-09
The Imponderables book series by David Feldman is the pinnacle of interesting and useful bathroom reading! Since the beginning of the series, Feldman has been highlighting questions that we didn't even know we had (like exactly why is it that a mile is 5,280 feet? and where is Donald Duck's brother?) then he finds "the experts" on any given subject to answer the question. At the end of each question and answer, you are left with a little better insight into the world around you (and you can go out and impress your friends with an expanded catalog of obscure anecdotes).
These books are fantastic overall. They are one part almanac, one part encyclopedia and one part a book form of the show Mythbusters. Many of the questions Feldman seeks the answers to are sent to him by his many readers who want to know about these little-known facts (like why there are 18 holes in a golf course and why tennis balls are fuzzy). Okay, these may not be the most important questions in the world, but these are the things we take for granted in everyday life that we normally don't take the time to stop and think (why is that little finger on our hands called the pinky?).
Feldman has been answering these questions since the first Imponderables in 1986. He has a masters degree in popular culture from Bowling Green State University in Ohio and taught to first ever college course on Soap Operas. If you enjoy trivia, David Feldman is the man for you. He uncovers the hidden meanings and lost history of sports, food, words, science, politics, and everything in between, often in a humorous and insightful way.
So where did Oreos get their name?
What is the difference between Dead End signs and No Outlet signs?
Why does the letter K mean Strike Out in baseball?
You'll have to read the books to find out.
READ THIS REVIEW.......2005-05-15
This was a awesome book I read. I found it when we were cleaning the basement, and I read most of it on a trip. It is a book that answers many interesting questions as in "Why is Bettie Rubble not a charator in the Filnstones Vitimans?" I hope you pick this or another "Imponderables" book.
As a fiction reader, I still enjoyed the things this book........1999-11-22
This book teaches you lots of interesting stuff, and asks lots of interesting stuff. We never thought we would never get the answers. However, David Feldman got them for us. HOORAY! I could have gave it 5 stars, since it was a very interesting things that helped me help others with imponderables, and taught me stuff that was head-scratching.
1) What kind of a title is "When Did Wild Poodles Roam the Earth?" 2) I am a person who enjoys fiction and flowing prose, so when I read this, it didn't grab me. 3) Some of the answers were long, boring sometimes.
it's well worth the buy.

The best poodle book I've purchased.......2005-11-15
Gorgeous book! Beautiful color pictures on almost every page. 20 pages dedicated to grooming including a variety of hair styles and all major topics are covered such as health and training. Of all the poodle books I've purchased this is by far my favorite.
Good book if you are in the UK.......2003-09-12
This book is full of wonderful pictures and a complete history of the standard poodle. However, the author is a former show judge in the UK and spends a considerable amount of the book discussing British standards for show. The recommended diet (raw human food) is contrary to what most American vets prescibe. The information on grooming the standard poodle is quite informative and includes pictures of finished cuts. However, it does not include enough information for a novice like me to attempt the trims.
The first and best poodle book you should read!.......2003-03-27
Eileen Geeson does a fabulous job of giving background information pertinent to standard poodle owners. She touches on a broad range of topics, from our emotional attachments to our furkids to puppy-raising information and everything in between. One of the most helpful sections gives warning signs of injuries and diseases prone to standard poodles. The pictures in the book are precious, and Geeson's book is a fluent read.
Introduced To A Poodle? Buy This Book.......2003-01-12
What a wonderful book! I bought my first Poodle and this book was a treasure!

Great book for the those new and "not so new" to the ownership of poodles.

Book Description
Poodlena is a star. Every day she powders and pinks herself to perfection. And every day she parades through the park, keeping clean and perfect. One day, after a heavy rain, another dog knocks poor Poodlena right off the path and into a giant mud puddle. The mud is dirty and icky. . . and so much fun! Now Poodlena still primps and pinks herself close to perfect-but she always saves time for playing with friends, too!

Fun for all poodle lovers.......2005-07-21
I guess that the best way to describe this book is as a cross between Eloise and Dr. Seuss.
The illustrations are adorable and I wish that I could have a print to frame of Poodlena primping and "pinking" herself up.
This is a darling little book that I would recommend to all poodle lovers, young and old. [If you've never been owned by a poodle you wouldn't understand.]
Great!.......2005-02-01
This is one of the best children's books I've come across for this age range. The perfect gift for a little girl, especially if she loves PINK (all the pages are very pink).
Adorable New Children's Book.......2004-09-02
Ms. Poodlena Pompadour, a poofy, pink poodle, lives quite the life in a high-rise apartment on the very top floor, in a beautiful big city. Every day Poodlena has a crew of stylists come into her high-rise apartment to primp her up. They poof her, and pink her, and fluff her right up. Then, she is taken to the park at three quarters past four everyday, where, as opposed to playing, like the other dogs who visit the park daily, she parades by them on the walking trail, making sure to never get messy. However, by doing this, Poodlena never has the opportunity to have any fun, for you must get a bit dirty to have some fun. So, after a long rain, Poodlena gets all puffed up, and heads to the park, where she is promptly knocked into the mud by a dog chasing a ball. It is only then that Poodlena realizes that she would have much more fun if she spent less time poofing, and more time playing.
E.B. McHenry has created an enchanting new character in POODLENA. Told in a wonderful rhyming prose, and filled with wonderful illustrations, featuring various pink puffs and swirls, and pink little curls, POODLENA is sure to become a hit with children. A must-have on the bookshelf for any family, whether you have children or not.

Poodlena.......2004-07-09
Poodlena Pompadour, the dainty pink puddle, lives a rather glamorous life-style on the top floor of a high-rise. Her male owner fluffs her cotton candy-like head of hair, which is of course pink, as well as, powders and perfumes her each day before her afternoon play time at the park. Much too stunning to join in with the other dogs in their rough games, Poodlena simply remains spotless on the sidewalk. After a heavy rainfall an unforeseen twist occurs that alters Poodlena's prissy routine.
E. B. McHenry's charming story is definitely a girly-girl book. With the powder pink pages and countless beauty supplies many girls will be able to relate to the primping that Poodlena endures. The surroundings appear French, from the manuscript font to Poodlena's owner's attire. The song-like verse and softly painted illustrations are remarkable. E. B. McHenry's writing style resembles David Kirk of the Miss Spider books. E. B. McHenry writes in four-line rhyming verses, similar to Mr. Kirk, to tell the frilly life of "little miss" Poodlena, whose daily regimen keeps her pristine.
excerpt:
"In a big-city high-rise
On the very top floor
Lived a pink, fluffy poodle-
Poodlena Pompadour.
She wore on her head
A pink mountain of hair,
As light as a feather,
And mostly pink air."

A lighthearted laugh, if you need one........2006-06-12
If you are looking for serious advice, don't look here! This book is kind of a spoof off of the new-agey book, Women Who Run With the Wolves. As someone who did not take that book (or new age in general) very seriously, I thought this book was good for a laugh. The author makes the point that sometimes as women we take ourselves too seriously and it doesn't hurt to laugh at ourselves sometimes.
waste of money even at .01.......2006-01-30
an attempt at satire that falls flat. Sort of new-agey, but not witty. Drones on and on aimlessly about a one-joke topic. The book should have been one page long. You keep hoping this person trying to write will say something, anything, so you can laugh, but it doesnt happen.
Inner Life Enhancement.......2006-01-12
This is the only self-help book any woman could possibly ever need! Graham helps one understand that "bitch" is a high compliment and provides guidance for embracing our sacred inner bitch. It is just a fabulous book!
Book Description
Sometimes I wonder
do lions use irons,
Do poodles
eat noodles,
Can chickens
read Dickens...
WHAT'S THAT? You don't know the answers, you haven't a clue? That's okay -- sometimes it's fun just to wonder. In this collection of playful poems there are musings about everything in a child's world, from "A Day at the Beach" to "My Friend's Freckles" (do they go all the way down to your toes?). The short verses are a delight to read aloud and are brought to life in funny, imaginative pictures. This book is sure to inspire plenty of giggles as it challenges readers to find the silliness in their own surroundings.

Great Gift for Child's Birthday.......2006-08-15
After purchasing the book for my son, I decided to purchase this book for each of the families attending his birthday party. It was a great little party favor gift rather than candy or silly little noise makers. The art is very well put together to incorporate relevant pieces from each story. My son looks at the pictures and picks out different animals each time we read it. The story talks about riding on the tale of a whale and within the pictures you see a child riding the tale of a whale.

Good General Book, Cookie Cutter Poodle Book.......2007-01-02
This book is a good general guide. If you are getting a poodle for the first time and do not have experience training dogs this book would be a good general guide with a few poodle specific facts (if you have not already bought a general guide). I was very disappointed in it as a "poodle book". There are a few paragraphs scattered throughout its pages, which were written (and well) by a poodle person. However, the rest of the book seems to have to the word "poodle" inserted where the word "dog" would be in any general guide. It is a cookie cutter attempt at a poodle book. Most of the poodle information is very basic anyhow, and I (as I hope any true poodle person would be) was turned off at the advocation of poodle mixes. There is not enough information guiding someone to rescue an older or mix poodle as opposed to buying a designer mix poo. Most poodle people are strictly against this. Also, there are not a lot of pictures, and the ones there are aren't very colorful or informative.

Lots of information that I had never read anywhere else, and I've read a lot of dog books. It is obvious the author loves dogs. My only complaint is just not enough pictures. But great, great book.
Lives up to its title.......2004-08-19
