Good book.......2007-07-27
I picked up some pointers. I'm sure as I continue to go through the book I will learn more about Real Estate Math.
Extremely basic - for the very beginner.......2006-12-25
I have reviewed many real estate books and this is a very very basic book for beginners of residential real estate math. The book starts with adding and subtracting. There is no section on the finance behind income producing properties such as determing cap rates, cash flows, etc. Even for beginners, this book is extremely basic with basic math formulas. You would need a supplemental book with more advanced concepts. If you have no math background, then this is a good book but if you know some math, I would recommend a more advanced book.
the right formula.......2005-07-25
if you are a real estate agent having trouble figuring closing costs, pricing, escrow accounts and other real estate math essentials, this is a good book. there are no "magic" math books. you have to sit down with your paper, pencil, calculator and practice. learn some basic formulas, study the material which is well organized, and you'll have a lot more "math self confidence".
Reviewed by An author I truly respect, Mr. John Tirone,.......2005-01-17
I have Professional Real Estate Problem Solving books written by an attorney-instructor in Michigan, Mr. John a. Tirone. I noticed this book in our office and also one authored in real estate math by a different author, Coleman, I believe. I noticed that Mr. John Tirone was a reviewer of these books, which probably explains in part their accuracy?
I liked the mastering real estate math book, basics for exam preparation and sometimes review. but if you realy want to see something in real estate calculations, the ONLY book you should get is Mr. Tirone's Professional Real Estate Problem Solving Books, at least this is my opinion.
I noticed as well that Tirone was acknowledged in the sound reading real estate Principles textbook put out by Prentice Hall book company and authored originally by a Mr. Harwood.
Mastering Real Estate Math.......2003-11-22
Whether you are entering the real estate market for the first time and are prepping for your exam, or are a seasoned pro, this book is a total Godsend! Ralph Tamper and his associates have amassed an impressive, comprehensive and easily digestible volume on any and everything you need to know about the specifics of real estate math to get started-and thrive-in the business. And, if like me me, it's been a very long time since you've even seen a math book, you, too, will be eternally grateful for this book!
Mastering Real Estate Math walks you step-by-step through every pertinent scenario and provides clear, concise instruction, practice questions, and a challenging test at each chapter's end, so you'll feel confident and ready on exam day...and beyond. The answer key shows the methodology used in problem solving, enhancing the learniong process.
I couldn't have passed my exam without it! This text should absolutely be a requirement in all real estate education curriculums in the USA, not just for exam prep, but for use in everyday practice. Even my mortgage broker in California who has 20 years in the business got it and he loves it!
Big kudos again to Ralph Tamper and Co. for a producing an essential workbook, and thus providing real estdate industry professionals with a tremendous asset. And kudos also to Dearborn Real Estate Education for their fine roster of real estate educational materials.

Book Description
A celebration in words and breathtaking images of thirty-five landscapes created for private clients by today's preeminent designers.
This is a time of renewed originality in garden design. The last twenty years have seen a lucky confluence of money and talent lavished on gardening, and the results are surprising, enchanting, sometimes even controversial. The range of possibilities suggested by these thirty-five gardens is extraordinary: from Jacques Wirtz's undulating beech hedges that recede mysteriously into the mist to Penelope Hobhouse's latest interpretation of the traditional English garden, to Martha Schwartz's Texas creation of red, yellow, and pink painted garden rooms.
These hidden masterworks of modern gardening are unlocked for us by the authority, experience, and resources of House & Garden magazine. Every page is an invitation to explore landscapes that have never before been seen by the public—and may never be seen again. International in scope and lavish in its production, this book is the last word on the state of design in the garden world. 340 color photographs.

A tour around the best gardens in the world.......2007-05-08
This book is huge and a most for garden reference. It's organized in seven chapters that will impress all kind of taste:
The New Classicism: Magical gardens from places such as NY, Spain, Germany...+
The New Traditionalism: Enchanting pictures from NY, IL, France, Japan...+
The New Naturalism: Beautiful gardens from NY, Idaho, France, Arizona, England.
The Plantsmen: Magnificent proposals from New England, California, The Netherlands...+
Personal Visions: NY, California, and Texas
The Cottage Garden Reinvented: Lovely gardens from England, France and Ireland.
The New Modernism: The best and trendiest gardens of California.
You'll be able to see some of the best gardens from places such as Arizona to Japan. Some of my favorites gardens where from England, The Netherlands and France.
The text is pleasant to read and full of details no only about the flowers portrayed but also to the architect and artist that created such beauty. The balance of text and picture is excellent. The quality of the pictures is excellent, full pages pictures trout the book. House and Gardens did a tremendous job and it's absolutely clear that the took at least ten times the number of pictures in the book since you'll only see the best angle and light possible for each picture.
The only con is the lacks of tropical gardens since most part of the book are focus on the northern hemisphere.
The New Garden Paradise: Great Private Gardens of the World.......2007-05-07
Wow! This book is incredible, a treat for the eyes and imagination!
Great Private Gardens of the World.......2007-01-29
This is a beautiful book anyone would be pleased to have. The quality of the photos is splendid. Most enjoyable.
The New Garden Paradise: Great Private Gardens of the World.......2007-01-03
Book is really interesting and has a lot of beautiful full-page photographs. Makes a great gift for everybody, not only for gardening fans!
Big book, big gardens, big budgets.......2006-02-28
This coffee table book features private gardens and estates of the wealthy who have the funds to hire the most talented garden designers in the world to realize their visions. Most of the gardens featured are in the U.S. although a few are in England and Japan. Chapters are divided by varying styles, such as classicism, traditionalism, naturalism, cottage garden, modernism, etc. It is an eclectic collection, from minimalist elegance to lush romantic woodlands. Sculptures, art work, water features and stone work are a feature in many.
Chapter names tout the garden designer which includes such talents as Patrick Chasse, Dan Pearson, Jacques Wirtz, Dan Kiley, Piet Oudolf, Martha Swartz, Sarah Raven, Christian Louboutin, Isabelle Greene, Penelope Hobhouse, Topher Delaney and Steve Martino. The owners of the gardens are rarely mentioned (with the exception of actors Brad Pitt and Tim Curry and a few others). Although the text is often stuffy and oft-putting, the photographs alone are reason enough to purchase the book. This beautiful book is wonderful for garden dreamers who will find gardens such as these unattainable.

Fresh Air.......2007-09-27
This book was interesting. It was very easy to obtain the information I wanted to haelp with air problems. I enjoyed it and would recomend it.
plants with oxygen.......2007-09-06
Love the fact that this book has nice big pictures and explains
everything about the plant.
Have many plant books (from different states lived in) and this one is
very easy to read and understand and I love the pictures.
I'm growing fresh air!.......2007-07-11
Love this book. Exactly what I needed to help me decide which houseplants to buy. This book has plants for different temps, situations, needs, etc. I'm buying a copy for several of my family members. Beautiful on the coffee table too!
Why buy an airpurifier when you can buy plants!.......2007-07-03
Research based information about the value of plants in our homes. Certain plants absorb toxic gases from our carpets, furniture, and other items that can make the air in our homes as bad or worse than outdoors.
A really great book........2007-06-17
The photos are simple, beautiful, and informative. The information for each plant is really helpful, and it's nice to have a chart of which toxins come from which sources. I really enjoyed seeing the different plants and picking a good one for our house (although it was hard for me to track one down and I actually ended up buying seeds for it--I hope they'll grow!). The book is organized pretty intuitively, although navigation might take a little longer if you want to find a particular plant (since they're in order of overall rating rather than alphabetical order, you'd have to either use the index or flip for a while).
The only reason I didn't give the book five stars is that I would make an addition to each individual page with a plant on it: I'd list information about whether the plant is poisonous to humans and their pets. For people who have young children, cats, dogs, and/or other animals in the house (or the clinic, or wherever the plants will be placed), this is an important consideration.

VERY HELPFUL BUT NOTHING NEW.......2007-01-04
A good all purpose book, very useful but nothing new to an experienced reader.
Ed is the man.......2006-05-25
I have been useing Ed's books for years. I follow his column in heads magazine and Cannabis Culture magazine. He knows what he is talking about. This book is the ultimate handbook. It tells you everything you need to know to get a garden started. I think this book is very easy to follow and is a great buy. Theinformation is priceless. I trust Ed and this book.
One of the better ones.......2005-04-07
I read 90% of this book front to back when I first recieved it. It could have been organized better, and yes it did seem to jump around a bit, but it had some quality information that are the building blocks for the best techniques available.
great handbook.......2005-01-11
This is a great starter book for any grower. I still refer to this book many times. The information is great and useful. A book for people who are starting to grow.
Good Presentation - Fair coverage of marijuana topics.......2003-06-05
This is an okay reference book. I found this book easier to navigate than Indoor marijuana Horticulture by Jorge Cervantes which is packed with information but not well presented. Between both of these guides I was able to improve on my cultivation techniques but there are gaps still not covered by both works. If you find yourself in this kind of a situation then I recommend that you look for normal botany books on growing. I have a collection of other readings which helped. You might have to go down that route too.
Well worth the read but you will need much more than just these two books.

Setting the Record Straight.......2006-07-06
I just wanted to reply to J. Schachter's "The Critic" review of this book, which is spotlighted above. Not only did he omit some crucial info about Jorge's book, but his own statements have been proven false this year.
We now know the US government IS tracking "our every click" on the Internet. He also omitted Jorge's good suggestion that all marijuana growers using the Internet to post about their grows should use a PROXY SERVER. That is how he says to avoid big brother looking over your shoulder, not just getting a hotmail account.
So Jorge was NOT wrong in his statements, but it is indeed this "critic" (who has never reviewed anything else on Amazon.com), who is wrong.
I am an IT professional as well and can say that Jorge's statements regarding the Internet DO BELONG in his book (since so many growers use the Internet to exchange information), and are good tips. It seems the "critic" has an axe to grind since he couldn't be bothered to discuss the main content of the book which is about growing marijuana.
it's an OK guide BUT .......2005-04-02
okay all the typos and grammatical errors got to me too. this book has a lot of good information BUT I too, found incorrect information. Cervantes also contradicts himself a lot because in his articles in high times grow magazine, he says things that are total opposites from the book. i prefer his articles to this book BUT it did have some information that i found helpful. there has to be better stuff out there though.
The definitive indoor grow guide .......2005-02-22
In 1983 when I first became interested in the subject this book was the definitive indoor grow guide and it still is today and I like Mr. Cervantes style too instead of writing several books and you have too buy them all to find all the information you need he writes one complete book and updates it every few years with new stuff keep up the good work.
Terrible.......2005-02-09
This book reads like it was written by a 4th grader. I threw this in the garbage after the first few chapters. There is information in it that I know to be completely wrong, so how could I trust the rest of the information?
The book gets basic facts wrong, things that are easily verifiable to anyone who has an Internet connection. The first part of the book, for some reason, gives you a short history on the Internet, but almost everything in that section is completely wrong.
For example, the author says that the Internet was designed by the government to track your every click, and you can make yourself anonymous by getting a firewall and a hotmail account. Rediculous!
Every paragraph has basic spelling and grammatical errors, making this book difficult to read. The author jumps around topics incoherently, and makes references to things that aren't fully explained.
Save your money and get a better book. This one is a JOKE.
Not worth the heavy price tag.......2004-08-31
This is a two star read for a few reasons. You might not know that it is from the eighties when this book first came out with some updates. The author does not cover any fluorescent lights at all which I think is crazy because these are important for young seedlings and clones. The hydroponics designs are from old nineteen seventies systems that no one uses any more and neither do I. The author says that clones degrade the more you take clones from a clone and then builds a breeding section around this mistake. The nutrient feeding techniques are sometimes untested. The author actually reprints the same mistake that marijuana book author Ed Rosenthal made for solving Mg problems. Do not use the Mg solver. It usually causes lock out and also over feeds them. Only one harvesting method is given out of a possible three or four that you could do. The problem solving plant nutrient problem pictures are interesting to look at in the book and probably the reason to get this book, but do not solve the problem just by identification using these illustrations. You would do better to pay attention to your feeding schedule and nutrient content. Mistakes can be forgiven but this update is not an improvement on the previous book. The shabby design gives the impression that it was done quickly and cheaply. The photographs are not bad but far from quality. There are frequent spelling mistakes and a lot of noise between the pages that brings down the quality of this read considerably. You would do better to make sure that you read up on other books if you decide to try this one out. It will be interesting to keep a copy of this one around just to compare it to the next update because this author needs to change quite an awful lot of the material here. This is a poor update that strongly needs revision.

Excellent read.......2007-06-27
I truly enjoyed this book. The pictures were excellent quality and representative of the text. For the professional decorator or a person interested in house decoration it is funny and informative. I highly recommend this book.
Nancy Lancaster:English County House Style.......2007-02-09
Book was not what I expected. Book was recommended by a decorator who said Nancy Lancaster was her inspiration so I was expecting more decorating and less biography-like book. It does make an excellent coffee table presentation!!
A classic tale of high style.......2007-01-18
This book is sumptuous and entertaining. Martin Wood weaves a fascinating story of the founder of English County House Style. If you love biography, decorating, and history along with beautiful photographs, renderings, and paintings of exquisitely decorated rooms, this book will fit the bill! A lavish feast for sight and soul.
United States to Great Britain: Shared Style.......2006-08-30
This book takes the reader from the style of America in the early years of the 20th century to the life she created in Britain. Many aspects of style were shared in the two countries, but many are unique to each. It is interesting how Nancy Lancaster blended the two worlds into a grand country style that was appreciated by both. Her childhood home in Virginia was her inspiration throughout her life and helped set the style she was so well known for.
Adrift in the Cozy, Comfortable, Tasteful English Tradition!.......2006-04-10
Martin Wood is an excellent biographer and chronicler of style and in this richly illustrated monograph on Nancy Lancaster he makes use of his own credentials as a garden designer and interior designer to praise the virtues of a lady few of us know.
Nancy Lancaster gained her reputation as a gardener and designer of gardens whose only clear rival has been Gertrude Jekyll. But Martin Wood increases her stature by naming her the creator of the English country house style. His writing style is fluid, humorous, tender and informative, giving all the biographical data about Lancaster's heritage, youth, and life in a manner that makes what seems to be a picture essay become a page-turner novel!
Lancaster devoted herself to recreating the English Country atmosphere, though she was a born and bred American. Her own various homes as well as those of people who engaged her expertise demonstrate how even the most modest dwelling can breed the charm of the English Country house. Her gardens are like dream sequences out of Arthur Rackham and her taste in balancing room space with the gracious furniture and window treatments and light is impeccable. The Book is filled with some very lush photography that takes the time to scrutinize her concepts as well as pleasure the eye over her accomplishments. This is far more than a design book. This is a book about a life and how it extended into creating a personal world of quiet dignity and beauty. Grady Harp, April 06

Power Agent in Real Estate Review.......2007-06-27
I'm working on my 6th year as a real estate agent and out of all the business books that I've read this one really hits the nail on the head! I started reading the book about 3 weeks ago and it already has had an effect on my business. I've been on 4 CMA presentations and came out with 4 Listings on the same day that I met with the prospects. This book gives samples of dialogues with sellers and buyers, time management advice, goal setting, servicing listings, seperating the serious buyers from the not so serious, and at the same time looking out for your clients best interest. You must read this book to succeed!
Great book for all agents.......2007-03-23
For a rookie agent, this book has reinforced many things I have heard from other agents. It has provided insights and techniques that have already been used by myself and other more experienced agents in my workplace.
New agent info.......2007-03-08
this is a good book for a new agent to read. it has the basic fundamentals needed to earn an income in our real estate industry.If you have been an agent for the past year of more and are not doing these things you better read the book.
GREAT book- worth it's weight in gold!!.......2007-02-03
I thought this book was ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! I recently attended a seminar with Darryl, and in person he is even better! The man is a genius! If you want to be a Top Producer- read his books, and if possible, go to his seminars- I know I'm on my way! Thanks Darryl- you're the best!! No BUTS about it!! ;)
A Must Have.......2006-05-24
Davis` book is the best I have read and I have read many. The ideas are numerous. I actually carry this book with me at all times to get inspired when I need another approach. I would suggest every serious agent purchase this book.

Best photos of any CP book.......2007-06-14
Although I haven't grown CPs (carnivorous plants) for a few years I haven't forgotten my interest and fascination for them, so I was excited to see that Barry Rice had written a book on the subject. Barry has long been one of the most dedicated and accessible "experts" on the topic, and his talents combined with his sense of humor often make for great reading. This book departs somewhat from the usual treatments on CPs, beginning with a whole chapter discussing CPs in popular culture, which I was glad to see even includes a photo from the movie "Little Shop of Horrors." Another departure is where he seems to give equal attention to each genus of plants, rather than focusing heavily on the more commonly grown ones, such as Sarracenia, Drosera, and Nepenthes (personally, I always appreciated the bias towards Sarracenia, but I recall that Barry was more partial to underappreciated plants like Utricularia). It is also a bit heavier on the topic of conservation than most - something he's probably much more aware of than the rest of us.
I find it difficult not to make comparisons to other books when there have always been so few available on the topic. But I was slightly disappointed to find that growing advice seems a bit thin and almost noncommittal, although I had to admit that it was accurate (it's hard to say which "way" is best in growing many CPs because what may work for one grower doesn't for another - a point made clear in the book). I think for a novice to CPs "The Savage Garden" is perhaps the best book available for straightforward advice on cultivation. And while I've truly enjoyed this book, particularly the sections near the end discussing seeing CPs in the wild, the species by species chapters left me feeling a bit unsatisfied. But the one facet where this book is head and shoulders above all others is in the photos. Barry's photography skills and willingness to get out into the field with the plants and get muddy make this book an essential addition to the library of any CPer. It certainly left me eager for the time when my schedule allows for a CP collection again.
CP Perfection.......2007-06-14
I have been growing CPs for a number of years and also collecting books on the subject. I have many, including rare and hard to find volumes, but none come close to the overall quality of this book. Knowing what I do of Barry, this comes as no surprise. The text is accurate and fun to read and the photos are to die for (no pun intended). This is a first rate, high quality book which would be worth adding to your library at double the price offered here. Thank you Barry!!
Growing Carnivorous Plants by Barry Rice.......2007-05-31
This is a very detailed book describing the various carnivorous (really insectivorous) plants found worldwide. Descriptions include habitat, conservation issues, and guidelines for cultivation. Numerous photos are provided, especially closeup photos which are very useful.
Excellent.......2007-04-11
This book has excellent information and beautiful pictures that drape the pages of this book. Perfect choice for the novice to the veteren who wants to brush up on fundamentals of growing Carnivorous Plants. If you are looking for a book to help you out this is it. It is one of the two books I have that I would recommend along with Peter D'Amato's book The Savage Garden.
Nicely done. .......2007-03-31
This book is good for anyone who is beginning to learn about carnivorous plants or someone who is interested in growing them. It is organized alphabetically by Genus with information on the physical plant such as the trapping mechanisms to native range and cultivation suggestions from feeding to climate requirements. There is an average of two to six pages per genus with lots of photos. There is a minimum of technical jargon with words that are fairly easy to comprehend without being intended for school children.
