An extraordinary work in which the friendly and intimate relationship between man and whales gives way to wonder and awe as Captain Cousteau recounts his expeditions accross the oceans of the world in search of the mightiest creature to have ever lived.

Beginning with a fascinating look at some of the remarkable qualities of the whale - its size and the power implied by such enormous proportions, its high level of intelligence, its general lack of aggressiveness and ferocity, and its paradoxical fragility and dependence on the sea, the adventures of the Calllypso team are captured on film and in an absorbing narrative, describing encounters with whales in the Pacific and Indian oceans, including the gray whale and the killer whale.

The result is an unforgettable picture of a creature whose role in the precarious balance of the seas has been misunderstood since ancient times. It is also a creature in criical danger of extinction and Captain Cousteau closes with a passionate plea for its preservation.

This is a superbly and colorfully illustrated book on Whales, a part of the Whale, Dolphin, Shark 3 book set (ISBN 0884860175) remarkable effort by the Cousteau Society Staff. In keeping with his fine work with his National Geographic films Cousteau brings us yet another informative and illuminating glimpse of what we know so little.

This is a second publication by author, Susan I. Paul, and it is a companion book to her first book, Your Story Matters, Introducing the Pleasures of Personal Writing. The journal is an empty book for journal-writing or sketching that is sold at gift and stationery stores, and sells well in the author's writing and journaling workshops. Description: The journal is an empty book, with high quality writing paper that will not bleed fountain ink or paints, and which has 130 rather than the standard 75-100 pages in the best flat-folding binding-the U-ring binding-and thus folds for easy use of every page. It's uses are as unique as the journals' owners, and it is often purchased with the companion book, Your Story Matters, to give as gifts for birthdays, Christmas, St.Valentine's Day and Mother's and Father's Day.

YOUR STORY MATTERS helps readers, no matter who they are, to value themselves and their own life stories, no matter how ordinary or terrible those stories are, and to see value in writing them down. Five genres are featured‹journaling, poetry writing, fiction, family history writing and letter-writing, described as "the almost lost art." The author dubs these five genres as the "personal genres of writing" and packs her book with ideas of how to get started in each genre, the benefits of writing in each one, and gives numerous examples showing that even the most ordinary lives can produce extraordinary insight, healing, and pleasure through reflective writing. Whether you are a beginner, a school teacher or writing educator, a professional writer, or a person who longs to write but is afraid you cannot, YOUR STORY MATTERS is the book for you. It is a quick read that is accessible and appealing to teens, adults and spiritual seekers. Written from a Christian perspective, the book encourages readers to open themselves up to a spiritual journey, but is winsome and non-offensive to readers with no or different faith orientation. Anyone who wants to write will find this book freshly inspiring and uniquely helpful!

I want to review and read what is the new publication to the political scaring

This is one of the few sources I have found for black and white interior artwork from the old SF magazines. If only there were more places I could find these rocketships, aliens, giant ants, babes with blasters and all the other paraphernalia of good old fashioned space opera.
My rating of "excellent" for this book must be tempered by the recognition that its subject matter isn't of interest to everybody. But for what it is, and for the audience it serves, it's priceless.

THIS BOOK IS THE BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ ON DIVIN

The book covers 42 UFO cases reported by American military personnel during the Korean War. All are presented in a conservative manner, as is Haines' hallmark. Of particular interest is an excellent report of a UFO being fired upon at close range by a US artillery group, and the rather unpleasant after affects experienced by the soldiers in the group.

This book is a must for anybdody interested in film studies.

It has wonderful color pictures of models wearing the tropical uniforms of the afrikakorps and some very nice close-ups of clothing and equipment with descriptive text. This book includes heer, luftwaffe, marine, ss plus miscellaneous. Excellent for modelers.

Jacques Lusseyran writes with a love that you can feel permeating you as you read his words. My favorite essay in this collection of 6 was "Jeremy," the story of a blue collar saint in Buchenwald. I found myself crying and feeling wonderful at the same time. This writing defies description.

The world will be blind whitout people like him. I hope, man, women, I hope you read too. Only if you wanna see the secrets of your solud. I mean, the blind point, I hope you read too.
