Madrid (Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guide)

Christopher Rice, Melanie Rice

Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 2007

When you want to know more ...
I enjoy Rick Steves' guides, but often I want to know more, both in-depth and in-breadth about a destination. This is a typical Eyewitness Travel Guide, almost a small encyclopedia about one place, its history, and its many attractions. I enjoy buying such books ...

Yoga for Pregnancy, Birth and Beyond

Francoise Freedman

Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 2004

Best Pre-natal Yoga Book
I'm a pre-natal yoga teacher, and I have many books on pregnancy yoga. This one is by far my favorite. The pictures are very detailed and well-done. Each pose is broken down step-by-step and has a photo to demonstrate the move. I also like that it is divided by ...

Spanish (Hugo in Three Months)

Isabel Cisneros

Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 2003

Too much, too soon
Very disappointed with CD. Little repetitive practice, phrases delivered too quickly to fully repeat (often), and extensive material introduced without oral practice. How does one learn a language without structured repetition? My advice: try Barron's Mastering ...

World Religions

John Bowker

Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 2006

In-depth study of religions
In-depth study and analogy of the world's major religions, including ancient faiths and religious beliefs. I enjoyed reading this book very much. Rich chronological analyses. Enormous amount of information. One of my most cherished books.

The Story of Philosophy

Bryan Magee

Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 2001

Accessible introduction to Philosophy
In this short book, Magee examines the history of Western philosophy by looking at key philosophers and their ideas. This book is very clearly written and beautifully illustrated. While it lacks the depth necessary to introduce a university student to the subject, ...

The Children's Illustrated Bible (Childrens Bible)

Selina Hastings

Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 2005

My first intro to the Bible
I found this book in a library when I was 10, and I immediately became enthralled by the stories and illustrations. What's especially amazing is that I was raised in a secular household. I think it seemed a little weird to my family that I loved this book so much. I ...

The Way Things Work

David Macaulay, Neil Ardley

Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 2004

Perfect for reading in small bites
The Way Things Work is a charming, illustrated guide to the physical world for those of us who are both curious and a bit undereducated. The charm comes from Maccaulay's illustrations and his adorable choice of mammoths (that's right, mammoths) as the foils for the ...

The Encyclopedia of the Dog

Bruce Fogle

Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 2007

Encyclopedia of the Dog
I love this book. I knew what it was before buying it, as had borrowed it for a while before buying. If you love to look at the various breeds of dogs, or need some background on a variety of dog breeds, you will enjoy this. Tons of information on each breed, great ...

The New Complete Book of Self-Sufficiency

John Seymour

Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 2003

I love this book: in a purely aspirational way
Sometimes, when I'm having a particularly bad day, I take down this book and open it up to the section on how to arrange your self-sufficient farm on 1 or 5 acres. "All we would need," I beg my husband, "is five acres! And then we could keep 2 cows! One to milk and ...

"Star Wars" Journey Through Space (DK Readers Level 3)

Ryder Windham

Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 2005

The geography of Star Wars
The release of Star Wars books for young people has always been related to a theatrical promotion. In a world that has a seen all six films, a new wave of DK Readers is much appreciated. It gives us comfort that even though the movies are finished, the Star Wars ...

Paris (Eyewitness Travel Guides)
Alan Tillier

Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 2008

Iyengar Yoga for Beginners
B.K.S. Iyengar

Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 2006

Butterfly (Dk Reference)

Thomas Marent

Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 2008

Another DK visual tour de force
DK has done it again! I have been very pleased with their recent large nature pictorial books such as Rain Forest and Reef. This book is right up there with the others. It contains hundreds of stunning photos with just enough explanatory text to fascinate. This book ...
