Book Description
Yarns made from plant fibers, modern synthetics, and silk take the spotlight in this collection of 21 classic knitting patterns for socks, scarves, hats, bags, vests, sweaters, and even a luxurious bathrobe. Some knitters are discouraged by the thought of baggy hemp sweaters and droopy cotton socks when they consider vegetable fibers, but this authoritative, fun, and light-hearted guide promises that, while wool has no equal when it comes to elasticity and warmth, the right tricks and techniques produce non-wool fashions that fit well, wear well, and hang beautifully. Knitters are taught to knit swatches to study the behavior of a yarn, to choose an appropriate pattern, and to master techniques for reinforcing stitches and inserting knit-ins of springier yarn to keep cotton, silk, and other fibers from sagging. Key information about durability, weight, pilling, and special handling is provided for acrylic, bamboo, cotton, hemp, Ingeo, linen, lycra, nylon, polyester, rayon, silk, soy, Tencel, and viscose yarns, and a chapter of helpful tips advises on needles to use (and avoid), how to start new balls and weave in ends, how to work intarsia and Fair Isle patterns, smart ways to control the cost of materials, and the right methods for washing, drying, and blocking the finished pieces.

Wonderful Resource for non-wool fibers.......2007-09-23
I love this book. I didn't think I would, but in the first chapter there is a detailed explanation of many fibers and how they are transformed into knittable goodness.
Amy Singer also talks about possible allergies - that sometimes it is the chemicals that are used to treat fibers that cause allergies. I learned a lot. I love Merino - don't get me wrong - but I am more likely to itch from it, and from any kind of wool. Before this book, I felt like I was a knitter-persona-non-grata. Not that I want to be -- just that I am of the 'wool and some acrylics can be itchy' camp.
The patterns are fun and different, and introduce a whole new way of thinking about knitting! Hooray!!
Informative & inspiring.......2007-07-30
I picked up this book thinking, I don't need another knitting book -- but this is not just another book of patterns. I am not allergic, but I don't always love wearing wool (esp. in warmer weather). Her patterns are unique and interesting, and she has inspired me to just pick up things that might be interesting just to swatch. Ms. Singer has filled a gap in my knitting library.
Interesting Ideas.......2007-07-08
I purchased this book mainly out of curiosity & to explore using other fibers than your normal wools, cottons, blends & synthetics. I haven't had a chance to actually read the book (we're a very busy family), but I found the patterns & the idea of using different natural & plant fibers to be very enticing. I consider myself to be an intermediate knitter, but because of time allowance, I prefer to stick to the simpler patterns that won't take as long to finish. I have become very good at adapting patterns to suit my own preferences. The yarns suggested in the book can be very pricey. I would suggest searching the fair trade market from such places as the Rain Forest Rescue Site, where recycled silk yarns & banana fiber yarns are available at a very reasonable price. Since I'm personally not in the position to spend a fortune on the expensive yarns, I prefer to substitute yarns with similar qualities or textures & I also try to stay as close to the gauge of yarn & needle size as possible. I'm no expert, but I always suggest to people - don't be afraid to experiment, have fun & if it doesn't turn out the way you wanted it to? Just learn from it! Start small, get a feel for it & go from there! Beautiful pictures & patterns! The book is worth adding to your personal library!
Not enough patterns for bamboo yarn........2007-05-23
I purchased this book because I had recently purchased some silk and bamboo yarn. I found the technical information at the beginning very interesting. Amy Singer goes through the structure of each type of yarn in great detail including care of each yarn. What I did find disappointing was that of all the knitting patterns (and there are many in silk, hemp, linen etc) there was no garment made from bamboo (apart from small scarf). This was the only area I thought was lacking.
Excellent reference for non-sheepy knitting.......2007-05-13
For those who can't/don't knit with wool or other animal-based yarns, or simply those who prefer cooler fare for summer knitting, No Sheep for You is an invaluable reference. Amy Singer gives a lot more than patterns (though the patterns are lovely). Her notes on the various types of fibers, their properties and how the construction of the yarn alters them, makes substituting these yarns in your own patterns much more doable. One star loss for a) not enough charting in the patterns (which echoes Knitty, Singer's on-line magazine), and b) rather hideously expensive yarns given in the patterns. I priced out the yarn as given in one of the sweater patterns at over $600, which is a good deal more than I'll be spending on yarn for one pattern in the foreseeable future. The information on yarn substitution is good enough to give me hope of finding more affordable alternatives, though, even if I have to spin them myself.

Book Description
One day Raymond Francis, a chemist and a graduate of MIT, found himself in a hospital, battling for his life. The diagnosis: acute chemical hepatitis, chronic fatigue, multiple chemical sensitivities, and several autoimmune syndromes, causing him to suffer fatigue, dizziness, impaired memory, heart palpitations, diarrhea, numbness, seizures and numerous other ailments. Knowing death was imminent unless he took action, Francis decided to research solutions for his disease himself. His findings and eventual recovery led him to conclude that almost all disease can be both prevented and reversed. In Never Be Sick Again, Francis presents a seminal work based on these findings - a revolutionary theory of health and disease: there is only one disease (malfunctioning cells), only two causes of disease (deficiency and toxicity), and six pathways to health and disease (nutrition, toxins, psychological, physical, genetic, and medical). This remarkable book answers the questions: What is health? What is disease? Why do people get sick? How can disease be prevented? How can it be reversed? It will teach readers, in one easy lesson, an entirely new way to look at health and disease - an approach that is easy to understand, yet so powerful that they may, indeed, never have to be sick again. Providing a basic understanding of health and disease, this book takes the mystery out of disease. It provides readers, no matter what their present physical condition, a holistic approach to living that will empower them to get well - and stay well.

ok.......2007-05-21
If you're already familiar with the basic ideas in alternative health, I doubt you will find anything new here. Eat a clean diet, do exercise, get a good amount of sleep, take the right supplements etc. The author starts by relating his own health crash, and how he pulled himself out of it, so there's no doubt his heart is in the right place, but most of the book was familiar information to me. Could be a good introduction if you are just finding out about alternative health ideas, and how the philosophy differs from mainstream medicine.
Inspiring, Fascinating, and Helpful.......2007-02-23
I've been on strong asthma medications for a long time. I started getting every side effect they list, and being that one of the medications was black boxed in '05, I had to get off them. My blood pressure would drop as I stood up, and my resting heart rate was always going too fast. My severe allergies would trigger the asthma, but the medications would only close my lungs up more. As a kid every type of food would make me feel sick, and as a result.. I just never ate very much at all. Now... its still the same thing. Doctors found I have hypoglycemia and a gluten-intolerance. There were days I was so sick I couldn't get out of bed at all. I went to doctor after doctor looking for a cure and never found it. An endocrinologist even said that I have anxiety disorder and need to be treated with medication. A dietian didn't listen to me, and prescribed a diet that made me severely worse. I've had almost every medical test imaginable, and they could never conclude anything. I would go to bed at 6pm and wake up at 10am, and I could just never get enough sleep to feel better. I kept having nightmare after nightmare.
This book provides all the answers I've been searching for years to find. I took the concepts in this book and gave my body the nutrients I never gave it. I saw great improvement the next morning. I could take deep breaths without the medication... I didn't even sneeze during the middle of the night! I couldn't eat fruit without having an asthma attack because of it... now, I'm able to eat a serving of low-glycemic fruit everyday and be completely fine. My deteriorating health, I know now, can be completely turned around. I am only 22 years old, and now I know... I can live to be 120 and live the rest of my life without sickness. This book is a true blessing, and I'm extremely grateful to the writer!
This book is worth it.
Never Be Sick Again.......2007-02-02
Never Be Sick Again offers a major breakthrough in medical thinking regarding health and disease. I am a biochemist doing medical research at UCLA. A friend gave me this book to read, and I was very skeptical. After reading it, I couldn't stop thinking about what it was saying. I even lost sleep thinking about it. After many weeks, I have come to a conclusion - the author is right. There is only one disease and there are only two causes of disease - revolutionary! Once you understand this simple concept, it changes everything. If your mind is not closed to new ideas, the profound insights in this book will change your life for the better. It will give you the power to both prevent and reverse almost all disease. With this new understanding, from now on, I will approach my research in an entirely different way.

One of The Best Books On "Real" Health.......2006-07-23
This is one of the best books available on what is truly involved with being healthy and not the fake information we've contantly been fed. Any negative review on here isn't valid because it's apparent that these people are not informed on the real ways we can be healthy, rid disease, etc. The person below talking about their friend can't blame the book. If you do anything involving health incorrectly, you can become more sick. You also should never just follow one book or opinion, but look up the various research & resources available to everyone, that backs it up. If you aren't familiar enough with how to take control of your own health, which often takes a lot of research and training, then you need to work with others that can assist you, ask lots of questions, etc. But in the end it's all worth it because will you rarely be sick or have to go to doctors. Think of the time and money you will save later by taking care of your health in the proper way now.
Be careful and skeptical.......2006-04-12
I am a proponent of organic foods and products -- most of the products (food, cleaners, toiletries, etc) I buy are organic, and I know that contributes to my health. And the medical community is finally realizing that the overwhelming amount of white sugar, white flour and processed foods in the Western diet has led to an epidemic of obesity, heart disease and diabetes in this country. No disagreement there. (Atkins and the South Beach Diet say the same).
But be very careful about going overboard in accepting all of what this book says. A friend of our family gave us a copy of this book to read. This friend has become religiously devoted to this book's advice and outlook on health. He has become self-righteous about the health 'knowledge' he has gained from it, to the point of insulting the people around him (co-workers, friends) who have any kind of health issue by telling them that it's because they don't eat right.
Well, the proof is in the pudding. I saw this friend recently, and I seriously did not recognize him: he looked sickly, deathly thin, very pale, with sunken cheeks and eyes. Prior to getting into this book, he was very healthy and normal looking.
I don't know if this change for the worse is because of the book itself, or because he is going way overboard with its advice. But some of the negative reviews match my impressions I have gotten of the book based on our friend's 'testimony' and attitude, and now, even his sickly appearance. So beware!
Book Description

Customer Reviews:
this review is for struggling undergrads.......2007-03-29
I used an earlier edition of this book for symmetry/group theory and couldn't figure out what the heck was going on! Fortunately, there are lots of good alternatives:
1. "Molecular Symmetry and Group Theory: A Programmed Introduction to Chemical Applications" by Alan Vincent. This one is Excellent. It takes you by the hand and gives you a tutorial!
2. "Group Theory for Chemists" by George Davidson. Out-of-print now but look for it used.
3. "Molecular Symmetry and Group Theory" by Robert L. Carter, ISBN 0471149551
4. "Group Theory and Chemistry" by David M. Bishop. inexpensive.
5. "Introduction to Molecular Symmetry" (Oxford Chemistry Primers) by J. S. Ogden. inexpensive
Also look at chapter 1 of "Symmetry and Spectroscopy: An Introduction to Vibrational and Electronic Spectroscopy" by Daniel C. Harris & Michael D. Bertolucci
For a very nice overview try "Symmetry through the Eyes of a Chemist" by István Hargittai & Magdolna Hargittai
P.S. For a similar book to Vincent's try "Beginning Group Theory for Chemistry" by Paul H. Walton. It's meant to be written in (pencil!).
Look at my other reviews for other chemistry books.
Review nearly 40 years later.......2005-11-21
I read this book in 1965 as a freshman in Chemistry
at UCLA. I had no background in group theory or representation
of groups by characters. It started me on a life long study of groups,
but the wrong way. For someone without the necessary mathematics background
this book is actually harmful.
I think a course in modern algebra should be necessary
to reading this book. In 1965 an understanding of Calculus
wasn't enough even with a little Boolean algebra mixed in.
It came down to us using the book like a recipe book
for the mathematics, following many of the operating blindly.
But I have to say that over the years I have learned more about groups
and that the approach here has grown in my respect with that study.
So I have to say it is an excellent book
for those prepared
and a very poor book for those who aren't.
Good Reference, Poor Textbook.......2004-05-02
This book is a double edged sword. As a reference textbook for a person who has already had a significant introduction to group theory and chemical applications of it, this book can't be beat. It provides some very detailed mathematical derivations of the theoretical formulas used within group theory which one may not find in an elementary inorganic text which skims over group theory. Additionally, Cotton covers organic, organometallic and inorganic examples which allows the reader to have a broad spectrum of systems to learn from. The blurbs about molecular vibrations and crystallography were nice too. Finally, Cotton does not lack in providing journal references to the original research that he covers in the text.
In lieu of all that, this book is a bain to use in order to learn the principles of group theory. Cotton, in his typical fashion, assumes that the reader is well-versed in linear/matrix algebra (and has a very condescending comment for anyone who MIGHT have to read the matrix algebra appendix he has in the back of the text) and that the reader can visualize symmetry operations readily in their head. There are places in the text where he should go into more detail and provide further examples, but he does not. Lastly, anyone who knows anything about group theory knows that it is a pretty dry subject matter. Cotton doesn't enhance the excitement of learning group theory with his dry, humor-less approach to writing the text (not to mention that this 3rd edition is already overdue for another overhauling being over a decade old!). In case you have insomnia while taking your group theory course, attempt to read a full chapter in one sitting, you'll be out cold by the second paragraph!
My final verdict, if you are a graduate student in chemistry who already knows something about group theory and its application, but needs a text to jog your memory now and again, this book is worth your money, but if you have to learn the basics of group theory from this book, RUN! Run as fast as you can! Or if you can't do that, buy this book, but buy another book and learn from that one rather than this one.
Good book for its intended purpose and audience.......2003-06-05
Professor Cotton's book is a well written introduction to the theory of group representations for chemists. It is appropriate for chemical experimentalists and beginners with a more thoeretical bent. It was NOT INTENDED to be a book of algebra for mathematicians or physicists interested in Lie groups. The pure rotation group is not covered, representations of space groups are not mentioned, ray representations are not used, etc. Many of the reviewers below seem to think they will need one and only one book that deals with applications of group theory - not likely! For a beginner with a background typical of a 1st year grad student in physical or inorganic chemistry at an American university, the book is good. If the complainers below ever tried to teach a course to such students using the more rigorous books they are clamoring for, they would be hung in effigy (if they were lucky).
However, even for the intended audience, there are things that could be improved. Most glaring in my opinion is the treatment of electronic states, as opposed to orbitals. Even "mathematically-challenged chemists" have to face up to Slater determinants as basis functions for multi-electron wavefunctions. The spectroscopy and ligand-field theory topics are obscure if you don't introduce this concept. Symmetry with respect to interchange of particle labels is not that difficult to teach, and is essential for understanding the symmetry requirements that must be placed on electronic and vibrational wave functions.
Bad expectations => Bad reviews.......2003-03-19
So if you are a mathematician or a physicist, don't whine if this book isn't for you. It's for chemists, specifically inorganic ones, who use group theory to analyze ligand chemistry and spectroscopic measurements. It is also useful for those who utilize computational chemistry programs like Gaussian and need to know the basics of orbital and molecular symmetry.
This book contains only point group symmetry and none of the SO, SU, U, etc. groups used in physics. There is also no coverage of Lie algebras.

love the cotton theory.......2007-09-19
I gave this book to a beginner and it was more complicated to figure out instructions than just buying one pattern with less information which is focused more on just one project. I enjoy doing the cotton theory.
Wonderful way to quilt.......2007-05-11
I'm taking a class in this right now. What a wonderful and versatile way to quilt. Makes putting together much easier and you end up with two new quilts in one! I'd recommend this for anyone looking for an original and new way to easily quilt. Recommend to all, along with the DVD's.

Book Description
The New England Primer was the first textbook ever printed in America and was used to teach reading and Bible lessons in our schools until the twentieth century. In fact, many of the Founders and their children learned to read from the Primer. This pocket-size edition is an historical reprint of the 1777 version used in many schools during the Founding Era.

Amazing!.......2007-05-31
Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God...the Lord's Prayer...the young Infant's or Child's morning and evening prayers...A Dialogue between CHRIST,Youth,and the Devil. The New England Primer, Improved for the more easy attaining the true reading of English. To which is added;The Assembly of Divines, and Mr. Cotton's Catechism.
Wow!
This was foundational material in the educational training of the Founding Fathers.
This is the foundation that God blessed in our nation's history. A totally opposite worldview was instilled in the youth of the past, as compared to what is taught today. What an amazing treasure this little book is.
A must have!.......2007-05-14
This is a great reference book to help us learn what the first schools in America taught. This book is referenced in the The Truth Project by Focus On The Family which goes in to much more detail about where our school system started and where it is today. To see how Christianity started the American school system get this book and read it. Hopefully this will provoke more thought about why our government is taking/has taken Christianity out of American schools.
A real eye opener.......2007-05-10
We heard about this small book and have now bought more than 30 or them. When we show it to our friends, they all want one. People have bought them for their children, grandchildren, and as gifts. It is the perfect illustration of the religious and Christian roots of our nation. It is incredible to think that this was a public school text! Buy it, and share it with your family and friends.
Great Resource for Everyone.......2007-03-09
Excellent product...should be implemented within public school systems. My children love the questions and the memory verses. No wonder this product was instrumental in the production of many of this country's great men and women.
Difficult to Read, Archaic Type.......2007-03-08
This particular edition is just a reprint of the original New England Primer. It's great if you're looking at it for historical research, but not useful as a textbook due certain archaic features like "s"s being written as "f"s. It's also extremely small (check the dimension before you order).
Book Description
For more than a quarter century, Cotton and Wilkinson's Advanced Inorganic Chemistry has been the source that students and professional chemists have turned to for the background needed to understand current research literature in inorganic chemistry and aspects of organometallic chemistry. Like its predecessors, this updated Sixth Edition is organized around the periodic table of elements and provides a systematic treatment of the chemistry of all chemical elements and their compounds. It incorporates important recent developments with an emphasis on advances in the interpretation of structure, bonding, and reactivity.
From the reviews of the Fifth Edition:
* "The first place to go when seeking general information about the chemistry of a particular element, especially when up-to-date, authoritative information is desired." -Journal of the American Chemical Society.
* "Every student with a serious interest in inorganic chemistry should have [this book]." -Journal of Chemical Education.
* "A mine of information . . . an invaluable guide." -Nature.
* "The standard by which all other inorganic chemistry books are judged."-Nouveau Journal de Chimie.
* "A masterly overview of the chemistry of the elements."-The Times of London Higher Education Supplement.
* "A bonanza of information on important results and developments which could otherwise easily be overlooked in the general deluge of publications." -Angewandte Chemie.
Customer Reviews:
The best Inorganic Book.......2006-06-29
In my opinion, this book is one of the best books on Inorganic Chemistry. From first edition to last one F.A. Cotton's book becomes better and better. Now, this is excellent comprehensive textbook on Inorganic and Coordination Chemistry.
NICE TEXT FOR UNDERGRAD INORGANIC CHEMISTRY.......2003-03-06
With this edition of "Advanced Inorganic Chemistry", Albert Cotton and his co-authors have proved that they kept track of all the recent developments in the field.
This text provides clear and balanced coverage, as it applies to Inorganic Chemistry. Every branch of the course was browsed, and with generous details too. In addition to the general principles and laws, there are updated information on: Atomic Structures of elements, Chemical Bondings and related associations; as well as Chemical Equilibria and Enthalpy.
Together with its insight in Nuclear Chemistry, the details this book provided on inorganic elements and compounds is worthy of praise. It is a fine textbook, which anyone who has the basic knowledge of elementary chemistry should be glad to read.
Disappointing.......2003-01-29
The 5th edition of this book had been compulsory reading during my undergraduate inorganic chemistry courses: it was the inorganic chemistry bible. This edition fails to reach the high standard of its predecessor. In fact, it isn't even a good advanced inorganic chemistry text. Much of the really useful stuff that forms the basis of an understanding of inorganic chemistry has been omitted in favour of niche topics. The book would be better called 'Advances in Inorganic Chemistry' or 'Selected Topics in Inorganic Chemistry'.
Not as good as expected.......2002-09-01
This was one of the best book for inorganic chemistry, but this edition is very different from the previous ones. Many useful chapters have been done away with; they have been replaced with chapters rather poor, especially those about catalysis.
I advise the fifth edition, which is much better, even if it's quite old: the updates of new edition don't offset its flaws.
This is an excellent book.......1998-11-11
I have read this book with great interest. I think this book is marvellous in describing the features of three dimentional inorganic molecules.
