A good read!

The best book of its type I have ever read. By the way, is the author also an actor who appeared in the cult movie Leon The Pig Farmer?

interesting

I thought it was an interesting insight into the world of aviation and not too difficult for a lay person to appreciate. I think one of the authors, Paul Simpkin, is also a comedy writer - and ex-Cambridge graduate. Obviously multi-talented.

Wisely chosen and beautifully illustrated,this book shows how entertaining and exciting poetry can be. It instantly held the attention of my six year old. He wanted to write a thank you note to Lord Byron!

Classics Poems to Share with Your Children

Michael Rosen's collection of poetry refuses to talk down to children. He has selected classic poems from the seventeenth century to modern day, poems (and poets) that children will hear references to for the rest of their lives. From Shakespeare to Shelley to T. S. Eliot and many more, Rosen has gathered a mixture of beautiful, fun, and significant poetry, complete with biographical information about each of the poets, as well as information on individual poems and poetic forms.

It is Paul Howard's lovely, intriging illustrations that will first grab your attention, however. His illustrations capture the mood of each poem and make them come alive for young readers.

A must for children who love poetry and for parents who want to share poetry with their children.

Monet

i thought that this was a great book. it was wonderfully written, giving you a new understanding of the life of a great artist. not only was the book well writen but it was also full of hundreds of great recreations of monets best work.

Excellent!

This book gives a very good over view of his life and work. What he went through to get to where he became well known. This books is well illustrated with work that is not well known and several of his more well known work.

An overlooked classic

The title of this book, its date of publication, and the fact that it is translated from German might lead you to believe that it might be dull, but nothing could be further from the truth. It is highly readable, rigorous, and packed with curious information about anything and everything to do with climate (wind, radiation, temperature, humidity) from the micro- to meso-scale. It is a mine of useful information for anyone with a curiosity about the natural world around them, as well as professionals in the disciplines of animal and plant ecology, ecological physiology, horticulture, and forestry. If you've ever wondered why seagulls fly close to the water, why cities are warmer, and why sounds travel further at night, you'll find the answers (and more) in this classic book.

One of the best technical books on any subject

Based on data rather than opinion. It is refreshing to see the huge effort of a scientist rather than unsupported opinon of those with a political agenda.

Coastal Fish Identification: California to Alaska

Average review score:

Great Resource for Divers

As an avid diver in the Puget Sound, I have found this book to be very useful. It features great photos to help me identify the fishes that I encounter while underwater. The format is easy to use because it is geared toward the underwater naturalist. I recommend it to all my diver friends.

Great Book!

As a freediver along the coast north and south from San Francisco, I frequently refer to this book for reference of the fish I find in the kelp beds. I am able to find every fish I saw in the water in this book. The color photos are great for that purpose. Other books in my collection are sometime visually vague due to the lack of photographic images (paintings and/or black & white sketches). In ths book the text along with the pictures are also informational: distinctive features, description, abundance & distribution, habitat & behavior, reaction to divers.

An outstanding tool for improving soccer skills!

Cobi Jones is the soccer player kids watch in the United States. He is their hero. This book will help the beginner through advanced increase their skills. The format of the book is very user friendly. First, the reader learns some valuable information about Cobi Jones, then he takes you step by step through all of soccer's skills. Mr. Jones goes over the rules of the game, then stresses the need for warming up and details some exercises to do just that. He also emphasizes fair play. Each chapter then discusses and demonstrates a soccer skill. Mr. Jones offers excellent graphics appropriate for kids, and gives tips to enhance the skill. To complete each chapter skill, the champion provides games for perfect practice. This book is a very personalized approach to soccer instruction derived from a book. A great gift and "personal coach" for soccer enthusiasts! An autographed practice ball is included!

Educational and a perfect gift for kids this Christmas

I loved all the detailed soccer tips I could share with my kids when I coach their AYSO teams. Cobi is their favorite professional athelete and his instruction really influences my kids in a positive light both on and off the field.

May someday come true....Great Read.

Goldsteine elequently describes the differences between the liberal dilemas we all face today. After all, as Goldsteine argues, we are all liberals. What makes us liberal and what is the connection to our past...This book is doomed to become a classic and may even come true to life.

Excerpts from Reviews

"What Goldstene does is beautifully integrate the abstract world of political and social philosophy with the reality of the modern world....An incredibly provocative and thoughtful argument that conceivably could become the center of much concern." -- Issac Kramnick, Cornell University

"Goldstene again demonstrates that he is a leading contemporary radical critic of liberalism." -- Rick Tilman, The Social Science Journal

"This book deserves the widest possible audience, for it might become a minor classic." -- D.M.P. McCarthy, American Studies

"Lately I have read a book that has made me see in a new light the way I have been forming opinions during my life." -- Thomas Griffith, The Atlantic

"One of the most important critiques of liberal thought in recent times." -- Alan Tonelson, The New Republic

"Among...recent radical critics of American liberalism, Goldstene appears to stand alone." -- William B. Hixson, Jr., Commonweal

Excellent Book

"The Color of Nature" is a very good book. The photography is wonderful, and there is nice text to go along with it.

Great for Kids and Adults Alike!

Paul Dogerty makes learning the "whys" and "hows" of colors fun. He presents the scientific principles of how we see what we see in an easy-to-grasp manner that is both interesting and comprehensible. In addition, the photographs that accompany the text, which alone are worth the price of the book, serve to admirably highlight the processes Dogerty seeks verbally to illustrate. Together, art and words combine to emphasize the wonder and beauty of the world in which we live
